Hi Flash
This is a very good topic to have a discussion on. Let us all pour our thoughts on what we feel about this....I totally agree with you when you say that the Serials are prolonged for no reason.They show all sort of unbelievable things we keep seeing them. In serials, anything can happen. Maybe one day, we will end up seeing a ghost marrying a living man....I do not wan to hurt anybody's feelings here, but this is a fact.
In KSBKBT, a man has plenty of wives. Mihir had two ladies in his life, so is his son Karan. So, Ekta believes in the concept of "Following the elders". But, could she not take up the good qualities of the elders and leave out the bad ones?
Its the same case in KZK. Anurag has had 3 wives in his life, Komolika, Prerna and Aparna. Prerna loved Anurag, married Bajaj. Then left him, married Anurag. She then came back to Bajaj. This is so awful!!! Prerna was mother to Bajaj's grown up kids, then had Anurag's kids. Again, went to Bajaj and had a daughter of his.
Same is the case with all serials. When the writer does not need a character, he/she has full liberty to dump a character, much to the shock and surprise of viewers. The disappeared character is sometimes so very important a character that the writer forgets even that. Even though the absence of a character does make a difference to the viewer, the writer is happy proceeding like that. Infact, starts to think about the next disappearance act.
When we talk of disappearances, we have to talk of re-appearances. Again, it is the will and wish of the writers to push in an old character who was not to be seen for years. The readers again have to digest this drama.
Again, when we talk of lack of naturality in some serials, i think we can write pages after pages.
In Kyunki, we have witnessed so many instances like this where the whole family is buried in sorrow. To speak of some recent ones, Mansook's death , Vishal's death, followed by Ansh's death etc...... I don't tell that actors here, fall short of emotions. They are indeed, good actors. No second thoughts about this. But i somehow, feel that even when such depressing moments come, we see that all ladies of the house mourn for just one day and then start exhibiting their beauty with so much of make-up, jewels, gorgeous saress and what not!!!!. This does not provide reality to the happenings. Sometimes we tend to ponder that this bout of sorrow followed by so much of regular activity is not that natural and we cannot digest it.
After Ansh's death, we saw Savitha and others brood over this for so many days. But the costumes they wore, especially Gayathri's sarees and make-up, never ever suggested that they were still mourning for a dead person who was so young in age. Come on, this is really hard to believe!!!
Damini and Ganga are crying over everything just bcos Tulsi is in jail, we have to expect them to be sobre.... No, they are as always, draped in beautiful sarees, have make-up to the core.......etc.
After Gautam leaves Shantiniketan, Savitha is waiting for him on Karan-Tanya's wedding day. She is sad that Gautam is not coming. The very next scene, is where Savitha dances her heart out in the party to some modern day music. Can anyone believe this?
When the writer feels the story is not proceeding well, they decide to take a leap.
Kyunki has already seen such leaps before. But the characters , after every leap, do not show any drastic difference in their age or the way they dress. SAvitha looks the same after so many leaps. Gayathri looks like a teenager even now. Mihir looks handsome as ever. The only person who looks her age is Baa. Now , Kyunki is all set for another leap......I just wonder what Ekta is upto....Maybe, even after this leap, Savitha will not have even a single grey hair, Gayathri will look all the more beautiful with all sorts of make-up and will look more younger.......I cannot believe this, as it is far , far , far away from the original. This does not bring us so very close to reality.......Ekta needs more of originality in her serials. This is my thought.....
Ekta, loves to experiment more and brings about happenings that are really very hard to digest.....She gives much importance to the way her characters look, leaving the situation and circumstances in which the story is....]
When the serial gets boring, the central character is given a make-over. In JJKN, the make over has happened to the extent that Jassi is not recognised by anyone. Even her mother does not recognise her. Can this ever happen? If yes, why doesn't it happen to me, lol??? I can be away from all known faces, certain people i feel interfering in my life.
The greatest thing about serials is it must be the only place where a man and a woman can marry as many times as they would please.
But, all said and done, we ladies keep seeing these serials and scolding ourselves for seeing them. We have to voice our thoughts about these. Kya pata, this message of ours might reach the ears of the concerned person.
