However much that I may loathe all the crap that is dished out by Colors Channel, I must commend them for their brilliant idea in starting a new soap without actually getting down to starting one. Here's how.
A very famous serial goes by the name Na Aana Iss Des Laado (can't believe they have a wikipedia page dedicated to it!). This serial was actually going nowhere - tonnes of violence, bandits on loose after a family of equally corrupt people. Strange this family was a reputed one still but that is another story. Kids being given birth in all sorts of places (they could give Jesus Christ a run for his money in terms of his place of birth). And, the last you see is 2 little girls coming to this world amongst gunfire, their parents dead.
Next Episode.
18 years later.
Those 2 little girls are now hot, young and college going. The family is no longer chased by bandits. They have moved to a great locality in New Delhi. Hell, the matriarch even goes for morning walks to Lodhi Gardens. Other stories ensue. I mean, isn't it brilliant? The story is new now (by their standards of course) and just by including a few more actors, they have managed to cash in on the audience who watched the very famous Na Aana Iss Des Laado.
Not to say that they still are one of the best in industry in dishing out this crap.
P.S. If anyone of you is getting a horrible thought that I follow the soap and that is how I know about it, you are totally out of place. I can literally 'hear' the soap being run every godforsaken night in my room despite the thick door shut. And with the level of their intelligence, it isn't hard to figure what's happening.
