MUMBAI : The concept of supernatural shows and fantasy shows is not new to Indian television but rather something that gets refurbished every year.
From shows about werewolves to shows about witches, Indian television has seen it all. The majority of the audiences are fans of the mythological spin in some of these shows, where old folklore and myths gets twisted into scripts for the show who eventually loose the plot.
While the graphics used to be a troubling part of some of these shows, it is not anymore. The shows may have fixed the graphics but their storylines are getting more and more bizarre. Are people just making shows for the sake of just airing them with no ambition?
While mythologically inspired shows like Dharam Yodha Garud promised new benchmarks, it has failed to even scale up the entertainment. With everchanging and non-relatable plots with no substance and maybe performances that don’t deliver. The show after much publicity has failed to garner attention from the audiences.
While Ekta Kapoor’s Naagin has gone on to become one of the most iconic shows and one that leads the way for a lot of fantasy supernatural shows, nobody can forget the first season and how it laid the foundation for the show to have 6 successful seasons.
What started as a revelation in terms of television content and graphics, has now fizzled out after 6 eventual seasons.
Naagin is the magnum opus of television maverick Ekta Kapoor’s vision for fiction and the scale it can go to. The story is stale and the same thing as season 2 just packaged with a new cast.
The makers can’t even be bothered to change the look of the new incarnation. If another character is shown, it is expected to have a changed look. The characters wearing the same outfits get really confusing and messed up. Seems like, audiences have the same views as well.
Riya Sharma says, "They have tried everything in the show apart from actually making sense. I mean, what happened to the standards”.
Rahul Yadav said, “Even bringing cameos and a new cast is not exciting enough, there is nothing new that the show offers, it has become so boring”.
Lisha Ahuja says, “Are we really expected to believe that two absolutely similar-looking people cannot identify themselves that they are related? The show has lost of a lot of young audiences because of storylines like that”.
Anjali Dulhani says,” We had such great expectations from the show, atleast they could have made the VFX better but they failed even at that. Why should anyone watch the show if they only won’t effort into making it”.
Will mythological and supernatural shows ever gain the popularity back that they used to have or the era of Supernatural shows have just gone away?
