Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

I made this comment in the Pyari Shammo thread.

Is it just me or are these Geo and ARY dramas very extreme now in their storyline. It looks like the writers sit down and do this:

  1. Make a list of all the craziest and taboo themes you can think of, outside of threesome sex and orgies:

                 abortions
                 pre-marital sexual interaction
                 heroin and marijuana and opium
                 lots of intense flirting and melodramatic Indian-sort of love-lines
                 Guy likes female, but female is his stepmom kind of messed up                          triangles
                 bloody violence
    
  2. Mix all these themes together in one.

  3. Stretch story to 13 episodes. Each one has a massive twist at the end.

  4. Ending is usually as chaotic and unresolved as the entire play.

  5. Take it to Geo since they’re the raunchiest, and then go to ARY…and if worst comes to worst then go to some new channel, and if even they dont take it then go back, edit out the crazy lines, and present to Prime Tv - if they dont take it then censor out more stuff, and then take it to PTV.

All I see happening in dramas these days is budha/budhi marrying a young adult. Or young adult going nuts over some budha/budhi.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

Shut up Sadiyah :p. Nothing wrong with a buDha marrying a young adult if he can afford it.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

haha.. but the abortion thing, whats up with that.. i think ive said it before too, but its happened in 2 or 3 dramas and the christmas special.. and the girls actually get an abortion!!!
give it a couple years or maybe even months and they will hint stuff about threesomes.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

i think they are all about jerks cheating and bitchse ruining houses

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

yeah like in kaanch the guy is in love with his much older nanny/housekeeper, this older lady gets remarries and then when she gets pregnent she wants to get an abortion, and this guy is black mailing this other girl with "dirty" pictures of her.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

These storylines are way too negative and extreme methinks. A few dramas like this here and there, fine. But this is pretty much sensationalism.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

I'm more concerned about the intensely shallow and materialistic lifestyle that seems to be glorified in these dramas. Everything from flashy cars, outfits and mansions .... tsk ...

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

well 75% of daramas today have "TAWAIF" or "BAZAR-E-HUSN", one way or another ! Cant sit and watch with whole family, pata nahi kub kahaan THUMKA lagh jayee ....

aaj kal tu eik aur promo aa raha hai "AAMIIII MAIN MAAAA BANNA CHEHTEE HOON" ...give me a break !

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

i just saw part of kaanch...can someone tell me why is fiza ali afraid of that guy? what is she hiding?

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

Great. Now Pakistani television is just as bad as American television. It's better just to read a book.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

Sheraz - Apparently the guy has pictures of Fiza (not sure how or where he got them from - probably fabricated) so he blackmails her and she is stupid enough to go visit him at his every beck and call! YUCK!! Stupid woman!
Finally he invites her over one day and one of his friend’s is there too and the friend ends up raping her and now she is all freaked out!!
I mean you have to be a stupid bimbo to keep on going to meet a loser and then cry about how she was abused!
Now he is calling her and wants her to meet some more friends so they can probably gang rape her is my guess :rolleyes:

You just cannot watch anything decent on TV anymore

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

^^
That’s what the drama turned into? :eek:

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

Yeah Kino I was literally :smack: my head after seeing her trying to clean herself with soap and water.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

i guess if you want decent paki tv you need pee tv

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

So thats what it was all about. And here I am thinking she was washing up after killing the guy. Tsk.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

oh eww. i missed that episode. but saw the scene were she was crying in bed. it was after she was raped right.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

thanks rukhsar

even some of the indian dramas are not this cheap...people in pak probably enjoy these kinda dramas thats why all the channels are showing these

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

what is with all the pregancies before marriage. like in pyari shammo and safaid posh.

Re: Dramas Today and Crazy Storylines

Wow, soap operas much? These dramas are complete trash now. She lost her job, then, she gets raped, then, her little girl gets killed, then, she has an anvil falls on her head (didn't see that ending coming, did ya?)

Why am I here? I should shoot myself and get it over with.
