Are youth based shows worthless?A few days back Love Ne Mila Di Jodi went ahead and changed tracks to introduce family drama. The next serial to introduce this family drama is Miley Jab Hum Tum, a serial that few days back was all about college life, fun and masti is now all about weddings. It is interesting to see how some these youth based shows have completely changed. Does this mean that youth shows cannot survive without family masalaa in them?
Do tell us what you feel about the family drama in youth based shows.

Well it solely depends on channel and production house, how they want it to be?
ReplyDeleteMiley jab hum tum was the no.1 show on star one and still is........coz of its youth flavour, which appealed to the gen X, bored of family dramas and saas-bahu sagas.
We loved MJHT for its uniqueness and fresh look, and now it too turning family drama way is not a welcome change.
I hope channel sees that we still want to see the college masti, fun and all, and gets it all back
Miley jab hum tum's USP was the college life. If they do away with the college life then it will turn into another boring saas bahu drama in which everyone is crying all the time with todays genX hates to see.
ReplyDeleteWe loved MJHT because it was different, because it was fun , because the college life shown , the canteen scenes used to remind us of our college days.
If MJHT turns into a family drama i am sure most of the youth would just stop watching..
WEll a youth show can have family elements...but they shouldn't be OTT melodrama of the usual saas-bahu..
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that these days the only way they can bring in antagonists is in the form of some evil scheming relatives..
like in the case of LNMDJ, they have introduced new characters and made them OTT evil , with no explanation as to why they are so against the girls!!..
the CVs need to think out of the box before introducing some "gharelu" element in youth -based shows..This is just my humble opinion.
No freakin' way!
ReplyDeleteWho wants to see kitchen drama when there are gazillion more shows that air 24 hours a day 7 days a week.....ummm 365 days whole year showing the SAME exact "gharelu" thingie just with different titles and faces! It all comes down to same old same old "Cry me river" drama along with OTT fake back stabbing thug-like relatives who are supposed to have been shown as the support system of the couples!
Take LNMDJ for instance! they call the introduction if the three morons as the "gharelu" track! Who are they kidding?! are we stupid illiterate dumbos that we would sit back and enjoy the crappy thing that they throw on us?!
No way!
LNMDJ already had the "family" flavor to it.....which apparently vanished with this so called "gharelu" change!
I mean it showed the BEST possible sibling relationships! the BEST possible Mother-Daughter relationships.....the BEST type of family drama.....along with natural youthful ZEST it possessed with its AMAZING ensemble cast!
the cast is still there.....the passion somehow seems dampened and the originality of the story, the characters is being mocked by the introduction of totally useless characters!
They could have brought in someone better.....not this back stabbing mausi and her two sidekicks! they could have woken up the brothers' mother for goodness sakes!
there were so many other options to revamp the story and continue......give ample amount of light FUNNY and romantic moments among the jodis and the 6 main characters!Don't just throw sorrow and separation crap each time one after the other!
This show is "LOVE ne mila di jodi" then show the "LOVE" and happy moments among the couples instead of the squealing OTT cries of that Rani and crazy facial disfigurations of the mausi or Munna's dental exercise regime!
COME ON! Give us some BREAK!
MJHT is a nice show for the youth, college based and fun to watch. Suddenly the entire track shift to marriage is nothing short of shocking.
ReplyDeleteThe show should concentrate on the college life of the kids as it was great to watch.. !!
I think youth based shows should be left alone to be just that - why can't some shows have a niche audience and still be considered successful. Why does every show have to have scheming relatives and kitchen politics to make lives miserable for everyone involved including the audience. I am still reeling from the introduction of new characters in LNMDJ. One of the most loved characters in LNMDJ was sacrificed on the altar of TRPs.
ReplyDeleteThe chemistry between the couples that was the hallmark of the show has been diluted. One hopes that the makers realize this and take corrective measures to show more wonderful chemistry between the couples and more family bonding between the six of them. These annoying kitchen politics have no place in a youth show. They should remain in BT shows only. Please leave our shows alone.
Also I wish they would concentrate on promoting LNMDJ instead of hiring people to play more annoying characters. We haven't seen a promo in aeons and even the new track was not publicised. I am asking nicely could we get some promos please? Thanks
well all i have to say is that these you based shows have lost its flavour with the introduction of these family drama....to be frank i am not loving it....
ReplyDeletei don't want to even comment on MJHT it was once my fav serial..but not anymore..if lnmdj duzn end this family track ASAP..then it will also go to my fav shows Archive .
LNMDJ had a totally different track before these 3 new chracters came in, its just turning into a saas bahu serial where the saas makes conspiracy and the bahu's have to suffer, i really don't want that please! we have enought of that in other serials. the main 6 characters had awesome chemistry and love between them and i want that back. can you please get the new 3 characters out the show, especially that mausi! and they havent even shown any promo for LNMDJ for quite a while.
ReplyDeletei want the old LNMDJ charm back not this gharelu type..
PLEASE!
the cretives should change the track of the story to what it was ASAP!.....why do the youth watch star one shows?.....cos they are youth related not about drama and rona dhona......and now they are making the shows into that very same thing.......and thats why they are loosing out in the race of the TRPS cos they are tryong to ape another type of genre which doesnt suit the show,my heartfelt request to the channel,plz get back youre orignal charm!
ReplyDeleteWhen LNMDJ started it was not just a youth show it also had an element of family drama.And thats why it was one of best Show's around.Ila And Balraj were the best mom and dad,it was also about the strong relationship between the brother's and sister's.But from the time ila died & the CV's introduced the new 'gharelu angle' with their own twisted version of a family drama,LNMDJ just hasnt been the same.I understand that all shows need new twists and angles to move the story forward but this new track just hasnt been working out for most of us.I hope this track winds up and we get the LNMDJ we loved so much back.
ReplyDeleteSamira.
don't blame the family drama track 4 the failure of the show mjht. the cvs knew very well we were in mood to see the love story of the new couple adhiraj- suhani. the failure of the show started with the article new entrants 2 be leads n the way they chaged mayur track by sending mayank 2 blore. bring bak the college life..give decent screen space 2 mayur n sajan with gud stry line n see where v will tk de show 2 zenith.
ReplyDeletecorrection....not in a mood 2 c thelove story of adhi- suhani.
ReplyDeletei think its bcoz star one wants to introduce family drama more isnt it?there was an article on it few days ago!hope mjht survives at least!
ReplyDeleteI THINK THE TRPS HV DROPPED FURTHER AFTER INTRODUCING THE FAMILY DRAMA............MAYUR MARRIAGE TRACK IS OK.................BUT THE CURRENT LNMDJ TRACK IS HORRIBLE.........
ReplyDeleteMILEY JAB HUM TUM HAS A GOOD TRACK.........THOUGH MANY R AGAINST ADHIRAJ SUHAANI..I M WITH THEM........
