Interesting Article on rival site!

Writers' fraternity miffed with ITA (Indian Television Academy Awards)

There is an article about the writers of serials being miffed at ITA for not including the 'best story writer' award in the list of awards. They have given the response of ITA and also the reply by the writers. Though Parichay is not mentioned, it is interesting to see what these people think about story-writing for serials! Check out if interested.

parichay is not story it is recycle bin again and again same.

ya true    ek😡

LOL 😆 loved the article 😉

can any one told me on which site

Thanks for sharing Hima. It was quite an interesting read.

Both sides have interesting points but the ITA people make a valid point, Indian television is just an amalgamation of screenplay and dialogues. There is a story, a crux, a concept but shows are stretched for so long that the story becomes like a stale gum that one has been chewing on for too damn long or gets lost in a hurricane of twists, turns, and TRP increasing tracks. Case in point being Parichay, the story is meant to be about a fallen hero who overcomes the hurdles of his life and rises again. The show started on 9th August 2011, and now, exactly 1 year and 3 months later, Kunal sir ji is still the useless loser he was and has only fallen further instead of rising. And the story we are watching is essentially of the Hero and Heroine being in love but the vamps and villains are not letting them unite, which is probably the story of every single television show in India ( 😆 ). Kunal has had no personal or professional success in the last 15 months (except falling in love with Siddhi but they even killed that with the stupid leap) and if the great "story writers" of this show are going to have it their way, he is not going to find any success in the upcoming months as well. Everything has deviated from the initial concept and all we are watching now is a doomed love story.

Not taking away credit from the writers when they do write some great stuff but honestly, they don't deliver what they promise. How can you choose the "Best Story Writer" when most shows spend the entire year showing us everything and anything but the actual/original story that was promised... 😕

@Bold - EK did say in some recent interview that her audience isn't ready for anything but staple fare. If I recollect correctly, she said that the day she feels her audience is ready, she will give them something new😃

@Red - here again it's the audience that is to blame. Like you said the writers do come up with good stuff at times, but it is evidently rejected by an audience who seems to prefer the "staple fare" & thus the meandering plots with a 1000 twists😆

tfs hima.
Both sides have valid points. Nd going by the shows i feel only BV can be nominated as it has a story -same theme nd a moral aftr each epi. None other show has a story based on a topic but flowing up nd dwn with trp. The new show veera looks promising. But it's also true that without the script there wnt b any show.
