These days with so much time spent at home, I could not save myself from the hordes of serials on the tube! Here’s a round-up on what I have been watching since last 1 week:
Sania – Shoaib marriage controversy - Yes, I’m guilty of encouraging the intrusion of News channels in the private lives of celebrities, but it does hook you on! And it is getting wilder day by day. If you ask me, I don’t know what is wrong with Sania? I mean, all of us know it is never going to work. But well, all the best to her if after all this, she still wants to go ahead!
Mann ki Awaaz, Pratigya - Briefly, it is the story of a small town, where a goonda-type guy Boy A (rich Thakur) falls for a middle-class girl Girl A and who keeps following her everywhere, and literally makes her life miserable. Finally, she decides to save her family from all the trouble the guy causes, and marry the guy to put an end to all the misery. Well, the girl’s brother, Boy B, asks to get married to the 1st guy’s sister, Girl B. I missed the earlier episodes in order to really throw light on why he does that. But anyways, Girl B is a pretty thing with a hot head and a colorful language. She calls her brother as “kutte”, “sale”. The conversation between brother-sister duo is quite entertaining, though filled with a lot of abuses.
I think they should not have shown marriage between Boy A and Girl A. It will surely give wrong signals to young people in small town and villages, and they would think that through this way they will be able to marry the girl of their choice! I truly feel that in the wake of showing the wrong things prevailing in the society, well we are ending up showing all the wrong things, if not encouraging!
Pavitra Rishta - Ok, there’s this girl Girl A, who is married to Boy A, but they are in the middle of a divorce, so Boy A can get married to Girl B, who is pregnant with Boy A’s deceased brother's child, phew! Strange, isn’t it? Not if you regularly watch these serials.
Dance India Dance - This is the only programme which I really watch….sometimes! All the finalists are amazing, but I absolutely love Shakti. I totally bet on her, she is going to win hands down!
Well, that’s that, I have consciously stayed away from rest of the grind. Those are totally intolerable and extremely, extremely slow-paced. I lose all my patience.
I think femail is better.
ReplyDeletelol!!! I also watch the Sania Shoaib controversy, curse the channels and still watch it ;-)
ReplyDeleteDID is really good! Besides that I hardly watch any serial but I keep a tab on each of them i.e. I know whats happening where :D These days it is IPL for me :)
Hey Quarterbar, did you mean 'the other female is better?
ReplyDeleteHi Smita, I'm just not into Cricket. Sania-Shoaib controversy also ended with something, which they should have them long time back. Why it came down to such level, is beyond my umderstanding!
DID is also the only thing I watch on TV, apart from the news and IPL and Highway On My Plate reruns.
ReplyDeleteI think Shakti's great too, definitely the most accomplished, and Puneet's about the next best, but I would bet on Dharmesh Sir winning.
Of course, Dharmesh Sir is extremely good but his face isn't too expressive. Binny is good too but there's something about Shakti...she's effervescent and cute.
ReplyDeleteEven, DID is teh only show that I follow regularly.... I like Shakti.. However, my fav contestant is Dharmesh Sir... He is awesome...
ReplyDeleteBcz he is from Baroda! I like him too...very unassuming, simple! But shakti has star quality. She is versatile.
ReplyDeleteSo Shakti won! There's still justice in the world.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Yesterday, I shut down my computer and switched on the TV, on time to catch Shakti’s moment of glory. She totally deserves it.
ReplyDeleteAdd Emotinal Atyachar to the list.. it is deadly
ReplyDeleteEmotial Atyachar is horrible. My observations are the girlfriends-boyfriends are usually college going, not really in serious reltionship. Many are budding actors / models. It is just their 15 minutes of fame (?). And the channel is making money on others despair. The whole concept is horrible.
