As a 90s Indian kid, I still remember watching TV with excitement. I used to finish my homework on time so that my parent would let me watch my favorite show without any concern. Daily soaps in those days were so apt and interesting that we would memorize every line so that we could tell a friend in school with the same enthusiasm. And now when I see people losing their interest and attachment to TV is not only because of mobile phones but the degraded quality of content. The time when we are in terrible need of progressiveness possibly from everywhere, Indian serials have the least to contribute.
The lack of newness and repetitive stories have left no choice for the audience but to switch to using phones in a controlled perimeter. Let's discuss the other aspects.
Unethical stories and Reactions of society
Hindi TV serials and their lead character's portrayal of going unethical to drag it longer than required damages so many innocent minds. Where old age people are watching most of its content, TV channel and media have the one and only concern TRP.
Normalization of abuse and domestic violence
The actors are paid to play the role of a toxic person and most of the serials are having a sameness of storylines that have made it looks normal. The behavior which should be boycotted by society is being telecasted shamelessly.
A progressive storyline with a shit run
The directors choose an important storyline to lure their audience and launch the promo with showbiz portrayals of roles. They know that people are going to run after this. And then ends everything with some complex and unrealistic situations like double roles, rebirth, and some superficial powers in human bodies.
Women's purity and their lifesavers are the keys
In almost every Indian drama women are shown sleeping while wearing a saree with full makeup on and serving males in the house has caused rage in modern women. Showing them as weaker and always in a need of a male character to save them from some mishappenings is still considered as the success key in an increase of TRP.
