#Swapped: Titles these TV shows should actually have!

Ishqbaaaz



Beyhadh has some seriously messed up psychological plots. We see Maya (Jennifer Winget) being the sociopath she is and Saanjh (Aneri Vajani) doing her best to keep sane and fight for righteousness. But, Arjun (Kushal Tandon) somehow keeps going back to being bewitched by his wife. Maya has time and again entrapped Arjun, who at this point hasn't learnt from the past. He became what Maya wanted in spite of rebelling briefly. We now have Arjun following and believing his wife like a 'Ghulaam' and we wonder how long he'll be stuck in the void!

Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki

Tanu on 'Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki' was declared dead on the show. However, by sheer will power of the fans and the love for the lead pair's chemistry (we're just making guesses) she was revived! There was a prophecy on the show that ties the love birds Rishi (Ssharad Malhotra) and Tanu  together, returning her to him as Tanuja (Kratika Sengar). We love how the dramatic flash backs play out reminding us 'Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai' regardless of the reasoning against it! 

Everything from the show's name to the plot takes away the individuality of it's protagonist. The title suggests that the focus in on the sasural. Simar (Dipika Kakar) goes from being sister to a bahu and even in parenthood the show moves towards the character guiding her children in marriage leading us to believe that the show isn't aptly titled. With Simar turning into a fly, we get a visual metaphor of her identity crisis. The show would do better under the title 'Shakti... Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii'. And, we begin to ponder how powerful identity can be.
