Being a daily soap addict i have seen almost all the serials run in all the channels since the start of this century, i can proudly consider myself an Indian daily soap encyclopaedia.
I have painstakingly monitored all the trends that the Indian daily soaps gone through. the most popular among them was and is the saas bahu sagas which are still being telecaster with almost the same plot and sequences as others. others parallel trends are (which every serial shamelessly follows till date) - multiple marriages, many illicit affairs/relationships and consequently illicit children, death then rebirths, plastic surgeries, all the bahus becoming detectives irrespective of their characters and the way the serial initial started.
Since the start of this decade, precisely and most commonly, after the release of the movie 'Ishaqzaade' there came another trend where the bad guy pretends to be a nice guy in front of the girl so that after she falls for him he can ditch her just to fulfil his revenge. 'Madhubala- ek ishq ek junoon' was the most successful example of this trend.
The most popular kind of plots nowadays is the love-hate relationship between the lead characters. and foundation stone for this kind of plots was laid down by the most popular soap of its time 'kutumb.' the guy- spoilt brat from a rich family v/s the girl- middle class yet strong, determined and laden with all moral values. with minimum saas- bahu nonsense and regardless of all the other cliché trends and plots and sub- plots and what not. over the years many serials were profoundly inspired by 'kutumb' and had shown striking similarity with it.
Well talking about trends, how can i forget about the all the six pack laden heroes with portraying the angry young man. on that account half of time the reason behind their anger were hardly ever known and even if it was known hardly people understood the 'logic' behind. i apologise. i mentioned such an insignificant, inconsequential, worthless and trivial thing called 'logic'. what does that has anything to do with Indian Daily Soaps. my mistake.
Frankly i am amused how people like me invest so much of their time to non sense like this. no matter how i regret watching these serials i very well know that i would never give up watching them. after all the producers are investing such great amount money producing all these shitty things just for us.
