Mindless Hindi Serials in Television
Posted in Movies on 09/17/2007 10:32 pm by pratanu banerjeeThe serials in channels like Zee TV over the last few years show serials like Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Saloni, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki etc. These serials tell the story of family life. They try to drag on episodes after episodes even when the main story has ended long time ago. The story of these serials do not follow any definite line.
The men in these serials wear office suits and ties with boots always in the house. The elders wear Indian dresses. The dress codes for young girls are mostly western outfits like jeans and t-shirts. In some serials, when the story depicts a traditional family then only they wear salwar kameez.
It is astonishing to see that a family which has become penniless in the above mentioned serials show actors wearing high price clothes. Men wearing expensive suits. It seems the director has forgotten that they should wear ordinary or torn garments.
The serials show that somebody coming for an interview and getting job right way! But in real life, we have interviews and out of 20 negative responses, one may hit and you get the job! Practical life is so different from the way the serials portray! These serials should not be viewed by the elders and also the young generation.
The way human life is portrayed as rosy with everything going fine. The hospitals are portrayed as something which has all the medical facilities and the patient care is their first priority. In real life, the patient's care is the most neglected in the hospitals in general.
It is generally shown that when a young girl is raped, somebody jumps upon her and fights the eve teasers. In practical life, when somebody is getting raped, there is hardly any protestor and if the protestor gets injured nobody there to help. Even the person for whom the boy is giving his life at stake flies away carelessly.
People are so selfish these days say when you are injured and lying in the road, there is hardly anyone who will take care of you and take you to the hospital. So social security is something the old as well as the young generation lack. In these serials, there is always somebody helping the aged and the poor! Everyone has a big heart helping people in need!
Television serials which hardly reflect reality should not be watched by the young generation. It will have a false impression in their minds. The young generation should be told the right things by the parents and they should develop a positive attitude towards life. In fact the need for parental guidance is more important these days as there are a lot of distractions.
