Is it acceptable ?

Hello lovely people 😳 !

I personally that shows based on novels only have a meaningful story mostly nowadays.. Warna there r very less shows like that, produced nowadays... Sab ki same story n that too gheesi peeti.. That makes NO SENSE literally 😕

yes completely agree with ur post ash...the channels r coming up with repetitive storylines and themes..that too the themes which make no sense at all...and i agree with you dramas do have influence in society...so when they are showing something negative like hasan's act in dusri biwi in positive light then they really should be careful about this..this may led birth of another hasan in real life who will not hesitate now to do such act coz he will think he is right...these dramas might not have direct influences but they do have implicit influence..

TV has become too formulaic nowadays. One show with a certain theme becomes a hit and BAM! All across of every channel we start getting the same theme shows with the same kind of acting, characters, situations. Buss thoda sa change kar lete hain. Before the Doosri Biwi trope there was a bharmaar of Two Sisters Loving One Guy trope. It is still there in the dramas but with less intensity.

Ask the producers why they are doing this and we get the answer - TRP. Jo bikta hai, wo hi chalta hai. Two wives, zaalim saas, mazloom bahu, sisters hating on each other, shukk, extra marital affairs etc...these themes sell to the TRP audience it seems. So we only get stuff like these all across the TV with the claims ke log yehi dekhna chahte hain. Funny thing is, when these shows are over..no one remembers them.

TV has become such an economic medium that no one is really interested in doing quality work anymore. Apart from a few actors who only want to do quality work, everyone else is on the bandwagon to do more and more. Quantity over quality has become the thing for them. Same faces with the same stories are plastered all over the TV.

And it's not like repeating themes is a bad thing. Interpreting them in the same way is what messes things up. It all boils down to how the writer makes use of the trope. But then again, the lazy factor comes in again. Rather than writing intriguing characters in the same situation, we get wohi same se characters in same se situations. How can it make any impact then?

Pakistani TV used to be GREAT. It completely took over the Indian TV which had ruled the country for many years. On the same day in the same time slot, we used to get such a variety of dramas ke confuse hojate the ke kya kya dekhen? There was always something good airing on every day. But now? Everything is just the same.

No media is separate from the society. Television specially for it reflects the society, it takes people from the society, situations from the society. Entertainment doesn't mean that the things shown on TV have people and situations from Mars. I am not against entertainment, I am always a mainstream entertainment fan than of the artsy kind of shows. But for God's sake, show some solid, memorable entertainment.

One of my friends has totally different concept about Pak shows He always says y r Pak shows popular when the only thing they show is a Doosri shadi :p
I don't even remember which doosri biwi show was so popular that it has become a monotonous trend now

agree with TV will show what sells. I am too turned to apkistani tv for their positive message and better story lines. So far i am not watching too many of the new shows ... still trying to catch up to old classy...
off the topic but cant stand woman mazloom and its ok to accept it.
I cant satnd is dusri biwi business... is it the same society which accepts the second marriage gladly and calls it legal but god for bid woman get kidnapped she is shunned. she is touched by another man... Diff laws for man and woman. man is born with gud ka laddu in the mouth and woman is born with karele ka chilka... why are we not giving equal rights but hate that for something less than equal when comes to respect. What kills me is that woman also accept gladly that the name of religion men are allowed to have four wives but we cant cheat on husband (in case of kidnapping).this is centuries and generations of brain washing by our elders, religious head honchoes and so forth. male baby is brought up feeling superior and girl child is brought up knowing aisa to hota hai and she is the one has to suffer ... (look in to our own houses it happened to most of us compare how mom/grand ma raised girl VS boy) this is also tought by mothers and grand mothers. 😡 I was told that there are more girl child than a man child but that is not true any more since the days of Ultra sound... woman does not need day to day mental torture of being second and third wife to get food on plate or for shelter no longer ,she works outside of home... it is utter psychological torture and one will always be left finding her place in man's life after multiple marriages. what laws and norms applied and worked for society in stonehenges does not apply no longer.
this is not just the stories but the reality of our society and as i grow older i see it more and more obvious. we are forced to accept the writing of books and scriptures which were written so long ago when people 's food, shelter and clothes were the only thing around.(basic roti ,kapda or makaan) men would go hunting and get food home that were the days when the writtings are from and now things have evolved but the we follow same good old religion on the name of keeping women second class citizens. only way to change this is by getting education and be self reliant. woman need to support each other and get lot and lot self confidence.
I want to see more of Kankar, rehai and Daagh where woman does wake up and take a stand for her self. i want parents and inlaws to support woman. positive and uplifting messages.
some might find my views strong. it is not about equal rights but just getting the respect and place in society as a woman. dard aurat ko bhi hota hai.

Bang on post Ash. Totally agree with everything you said.
I will post my views later for sure.

Yeah totally tired of the same concepts..this is why i am not watching too many shows except one or two.which are likable for me.otherwise same ghisi pitti stories shadi,bachay multiple mrgs and two husbands or two wives..atleast they should show something new from which we can learn something for surviving in the society..especially for girls..

The writing should be left to the writers, all the wannabe's should just quit.

I dont mind cousin romance doosri biwi concept if they r backed by logical twists turns and good screenplay but shows like rang laga and doosri biwi which were so much hyped but which made a mockery of the doosri shaadi concept shud b banned

Its jus utter disgusting

Then comes the BRIDE KIDNAPPING TRACK which is like the most popular concept now

I watched mere khuda for agha ali and sumbul but same story even the recent fq mawra maryam main theme is this and the new hum tv show muqaddas also has this theme

I mean like common yaar

Then on the contrary i cant blame the channels and writers always coz now there r so many channels so many time slots so many serials running simultaneously in different channels

How different is it possible to be

Too much of a quantity ruins the quality

And thats what is happening now

Now channels r also launching new shows at 9 pm and 7 pm slot
Whereas before it was jus the 8pm slot

Other slots had low budget programs but now a days they r running high budget shows on 9 pm slots as well

Before it was jus hum tv ary geo

But now there is hum sitaray geo kahani ary zindagi channels which also air new shows everyday

How many different stories can they write

Its not possible

They shud limit the quantity to maintain the quality
