SOAPS

I hate soaps... I couldn't gather enough courage to watch even a single episode of any of the Ekta Kapoor serials, but I have had enough from their Marathi counterparts. The only exceptions as far as these marathi serials are concerned, were "वादळवाट" and now "असंभव". I was not (and still am not) regular viewer of any of these series, still I like both these, only common factor (which is actually a deciding factor) is that these are free from illogical, far fetched, extreme behavior of its characters , त्यांची रडारड, सण साजरा करण्यात, नाचण्यात भुमिकांचा (अणि प्रेक्षकांचाही :D) वाया घालवलेला वेळ, गतीहीन कथानक etc etc etc. वादळवाट आवडण्याचं मुख्य कारण मात्रा music होतं. त्यातले actors talented होतेच, no doubt about that.. But these days, almost all of them are working in "आपली माणसं" (ETV) which is again a pathetic serial. (I know what u r thinking! Please remove that misconception, मी मराठी channels ला चिकटलेला नसतो. One... or at most 2 scenes in an episode are sufficient enough to get an idea about "quality" of serial.)

It really hurts when actors for whom you had respect, whom you have admired all these years are working for a serial that is going nowhere. "वाया गेलेली केस" म्हणतात तशी ह्यातली सर्वात भयानक सीरियल म्हणजे "चार दिवस सासुचे". अरे चाराचे चारहजार दिवस झाले यार, आता तरी पुरे.... रोहिणी हट्टंगडी, कविता लाड सारखे actors काय करतायत? त्यांना कंटाळा येत नही का एकाच टाईपची acting(?) रोज करायला? एक सून अति-सुस्वभावी (read "अति-बावळट") अणि दुसरी सून फक्त कपटी (again read "बावळट-but comparatively lesser") कशी असू शकते? कोणीही पूर्ण चांगलं अथवा पूर्ण वाईट नस्तं, ही basic बाब हे कसे विसरतात? सर्वच serials slow असतात, but this serial is too much!!! By and large कोणत्याही episode मध्ये प्रमुख characters पैकी ३/४ characters सम्पूर्ण episode एकच वाक्य बोलत असतात. I remember 3 (!!!) consecutive episodes where Kavita Lad's adopted son is kidnapped by his real mother (a vamp) and Kavita Lad is begging for help all these episodes, vamp torturing her own son all the the time, rohini hattangadi consoling Kavita Lad (imagine 3 episodes like that!!!) Sorry for the torture to you (reading all this), but I am writing all this केवळ मन मोकळं करायला... चीड़ येते अशा directors आणि writers ची!

हल्लीची एक सीरियल म्हणजे "कळत नकळत". परत सुनील बर्वे, ऋतुजा गोडबोले असे चांगले actors. Pan poor direction, weak characters अणि हरवलेली स्क्रिप्ट. केवळ music video पाह्ण्याजोगा आहे. असो, ह्या सीरियल बद्दल बोलायची इच्छासुद्धा नाहीय्ये आता...

असंभव बद्दल सांगायचं तर उत्तम कलावंतं, परिणामकारक संगीत दिग्दर्शन, ओघवतं कथानक हे मुख्य पैलू ठरावेत. तुम्हाला माहित असेलच मी नस्तिकतेकडे झूकणर्यांतला आहे, मात्र ही serial मला अगदी मनापासून आवडली. विशेषतः सुलेखाच्या अध्यात्मिक गुरुने केलेला काम् तर अप्रतिम.... मला त्या कलाकाराचं नाव माहित नही, पण ती पूर्णं वेळ proper bearing मध्ये असते.... असंभव एक कलाकृति म्हणून पाहण्यासाराखी नक्कीच आहे. मला सध्याच्या मराठी सा रे चे episodes अणि ह्या serial चे episodes DVD वर write मारून हवेत. (कोणी असले प्रताप केले असल्यास मला plz कळवणे. )

Aata kaay bolnar? But the actors cannot be blamed entirely. It's their bread and butter. It's mainly the creative bankruptcy of the content makers. The only soln is to quit watching TV and blog instead. :D
