#Indian soap operas

[sam7sparks7]

One of my fav things about Thai BLs is that there's always one episode where they send the characters to a temple no matter the genre of the show

Kinda like how Indian soap operas have a mandatory episode where there is a temple visit and divine intervention which helps the main lead overcome a problem

I like how Indian and Thai cultures overlap in places

Why are the male leads in Indian Soap Operas getting increasingly toxic and female leads increasingly annoying? Like why? And why do my grandparents watch it? Why do TEENAGERS watch it? Why? WHY?

Okay but like,, Sometimes female villains in Indian soap operas are.. so fine???

These writers and directors make a character that is an independent, mean, arrogant woman who wears sleeveless blouses, net sarees and dark lipstick. AND then expect me to not fall in love with her??? Aise kaise bc-

Just watched Jai Lava Kusa (2017) and oh man, whoever cooked up the idea of having Jr. NTR play three siblings—each one a distinct flavor of drama—clearly had a wild imagination (probably fueled by some fanfiction and other substances). Seriously, the dynamic between these brothers is like watching a soap opera on steroids. You've got Lava, the noble bank manager, who’s all about duty and honor; Kusa, the lovable goof with a heart of gold and is a thief with plans of going to America to steal in dollars ; and Jai, the deranged and black-cat coded villain with a vendetta against his brothers that could fuel an entire series.

The way these three brothers interact is a total trip. Lava and Kusa are the epitome of brotherly love and loyalty, but then enter Jai, who’s not just a black sheep but a full-blown storm cloud of chaos. The sibling rivalry is so intense, it feels like it’s straight out of a high-stakes melodrama, only turned up to a thousand. Watching them navigate their tangled relationships—Lava’s idealism clashing with Jai’s cruelty and Kusa’s innocent charm being caught in the crossfire—is both gripping and a little bit bonkers. The movie plays with this dynamic in such a dramatic and over-the-top way that it feels like a love letter to every epic family feud in cinematic history, with a healthy dose of self-parody.

Real talk but all those people complaining about filler arcs would not survive Indian TV shows

not to burst anyone's fucking bubble, but people really need to understand that the barbie movie is a fucking toy advert, and NOT a way to 'prove' that the doll was a feminist icon that was misunderstood. barbie did serious fucking damage to children's psyche and promoted unhealthy habits.

i love that movie, and i love it more for irritating right wing incels, but mattel produced this movie and you should take the message with at least a grain of salt.

Me: Okay... Don’t make this chapter too dramatic. The characters are just going to have a small argument. 

Also me: A small argument was never an option.

The events following the end of AC1 to Altaïr’s death in Revelations except it’s an overdramatic historical soap opera feat. slow motion scenes, dramatic music, zoom-ins, internal monologues, and so many fucking transitions
