Hello to all members as am a newbie.
I thought of starting this thread as have watched this serial for quite some time, oft and on...
The very point of joing the forum was not only this serial but a very subjective opinion of how the TV shows in general have declined.
So shall not go into those details as shall stick to this particular serial, which holds light to light (as far as the name suggests) but has long since degraded into obscurism. The light fades out by the day and looks like is snubbed (going by the never ending episodes).
POSITIVE START
This serial had everything one needed a very strong message: Liberty and equality of women in a changing society.
But alas it soon got lost into petty feuds and illogical reasoning.
EVIL PERSONIFIED
Altruistic approaches have been snuffed out by a story line that justifies that the end can be met by all evil means.
A lot of members have been complaining of several issues and tracks that are not resolved.
How long can a theft go unnoticed (the directors) not only did leave the issue of a person stealing a watch unresloved but the matter was conveniently forgotten to make way for more evils to come. No one now talks about how the watch was stolen and the initials forged (bravo).
Most of the characters are either Diabolic or Weak which is not the way a joint or even a sensible nuclear family functions.
THE ILLUMINATION : The lead pair is idealistic but weak, the son who is a bread winner and gets humiliated by a mother who has her own rule of jurisprudence(forget justice and not prudent). Each and every action of his is court martialed in front of a venom spewing family and the poor kid just takes the brunt. As of now this proves him to be a weak archaic person (persona non grata!).
His wife who holds torch to the principles of truth (including some scenes with the father of the nation) has no qualms about lying when she has to to protect a mother in law who leaves no bowls unturned to humiliate her and her husband.
THE SIBLINGS : These brothers and sisters could put the siblings of Cindrella to shame(at least out there the lines were drawn as the whole family was STEP).
The brothers lesser said the better, they seem to be groomed to make fun of their elder brother and sister in law. They rave and rant and while talking of family values, their non chalant stupid behaviour always seems to be met with a green signal. Did we forget that one of them tipsy as he was with his drunk wife spent the night in a cell. Well, well this never came to light.
The other one has casual sex and this is justified as the poor daughter in law(of course the eldest) gets blamed and a pot springs up as a challenge.
The sister (heaven forbade) a good to do nothing creature (why is she even there!!!). A lot having being said about her as well better not to dwell (Necklace misplaced in a beauty parlour and the brother gets humiliated) alongside a whole lot of tomfoolery that is never justified in the serial.
THE DAUGHTER IN LAWS: The lesser said the better. One steals (watches...never resolved? Money from ATMS a grave crime pardoned in a teary weepy way, swaps babies...never mind that still this problem remains a shame...girl babies are killed, so many women raped etc etc...)
The other one cheats, lies and does what ever she finds to justifies her means(which include loving a spineless husband).
So the question is :
How long does the audience wait so that this mess untangles irself.
Dear members, this is just fiction, but does that justify the loose ends and loop holes...
Thanks for your kind attention and the fact that you really did go through the post
