Accept
it.
Television
has
won
our
hearts,
whether
it
be
daily
serials
or
reality
shows.
Indian
television
has
grown
leaps
and
bounds
since
the
last
decade.
Times
have
changed
since
‘Banegi
Apni
Baat’,
‘Hasratein’,
‘Dastaan’,
‘Swabhimaan’
and
‘Tara’,
isn’t
it?
The
last
few
years
have
brought
about
new
concepts
and
a
lot
of
women-oriented
serials,
whether
it
be
‘Maryaada..
lekin
Kab
Tak’
and
even
the
Saas-Bahu
sagas
like
‘Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahut
Thi’.
Women
have
been
given
a
very
strong
role
in
comparison
to
their
male
counterparts.
Shows
like
‘Diya
Aur
Baati
Hum’
encourage
women
to
follow
their
dreams
even
after
marriage.
Moreover,
shows
like
‘Gumrah’
on
Channel
V
and
‘MTV
Webbed'
have
come
up
in
the
past
few
years
alerting
teenagers
on
important
issues
like
misuse
of
the
web
and
matters
of
the
heart!
Offbeat
concepts
have
come
up
in
terms
with
the
current
generation.
Whether
it
be
‘Balika
Vadhu’
displaying
the
tradition
of
child
marriage
or
the
story
of
suicide
bombers
in
‘Yeh
Hai
Aashiqui’
which
portrays
love
stories
in
very
different
circumstances.
Love
stories
and
mainly,
horror
serials
have
also
got
a
major
makeover!
Remember
the
Ramsay
horror
serials;
today’s
horror
serials
have
fewer
spoofs
and
more
class
to
it!
Serials
with
love
concepts
also
display
current
complications
which
could
take
place
and
reality
of
life,
compromise
and
sacrifice.
Where
reality
shows
have
cropped
up
with
such
shows
coming
one
after
another
in
dance,
singing,
comedy
and
any
type
of
talent
rather,
these
shows
provide
a
platform
for
a
lot
of
talented
people,
things
unseen
ten
years
back!
Add
to
this,
dramatic
shows
like
‘Big
Boss’
and
‘Emotional
Atyaachaar’!
Mythology
has
also
got
a
makeover
in
terms
of
technicalities;
even
the
actors’
costumes
and
jewellery
in
serials
have
gone
through
a
lot
of
detailing!
Production
houses
have
a
lot
of
successful
serials
to
their
credit
like
‘Jassi
Jaisi
Koi
Nahi’,
‘Bade
Acche
Lagte
Hain’
and
‘Jodha
Akbar’
to
mention
just
a
few.
With
‘24’
and
‘Yudh’
foraying
into
the
Indian
Television,
the
audience
gets
to
view
a
new
version
of
serials!
Within
these
ten
years,
serials
have
observed
progress
technically
as
well
as
theme-wise.
