Yep, and it's not just beliefs, it's life philosophy stuff demonstrated through the stories of Gods....you don't even need to believe in it to atleast appreciate the LIFE philosophy they are imparting which is UNIVERSAL....it's the same themes of humanity, compassion, kindness, sacrifice etc.....exploring all the shades of humanity from the good to the bad and trying to impart some learning from it......especially the themes from the epics are really amazing from a pure storytelling perspective also....you don't even need to know the Gods to be able to admire it from a pure storytelling POV as well :)
Unlike the supernatural crap which is deliberately mindless and trashy.
Mytho shows atleast aren't trashy....in fact they are one of the few genres left where the characters still retain some level of purity and maasoomiyat, not just doing hormonal trashy staff like supernatural shows.
Like for example, with the new Ram Siya show, they are trying to again touch on the themes of misogyny and sexism....how a woman is treated differently and disrespected by society and always needs to prove her 'purity'.....and Sita decides to sacrifice for the greater good but she does it with a sense of immense dignity and grace that's worth watching for the depiction in the show.....her equation with Ram also is shown very nicely......the theme score is really nice in this one too.
Ab preaching ki baat kar lo....it all depends on execution....if you are able to write and enact it well, then it's effective.....Sita and Ram imparting teachings in this show are effective cuz of the portrayal....otherwise it can look put on also with bad execution.....it's not enough simply that they are divine so their preaching becomes great...it's how you say it.
Not that the show is perfect....it can go a bit OTT sometimes but overall it atleast leaves you with a watchable, generally feel good feeling unlike other trash.
I'm only watching RK and this kinda regularly aajkal.....lol
