Sony TV's Pehredaar Piya Ki deserves an 'Oscar' for its guts to display creepy & indigestible content on National TV
Get a 'Pehredaar' for your mind before you watch Sony TV's 'Pehredaar Piya Ki.'
Whomsoever thought covering the television section of the entertainment genre is not a happening job, you are in for such a misconception. This is the industry that caters to a large audience and be it the characters or story, it stays with the masses forever. A plethora of entertainment where the work and filing stories make us laugh, cry and a bring about a range of emotions including being 'creeped' out.
People say TV's content currently is bizarre and extremely indigestible. While it was already difficult to deal with a beautiful bahu turning a murderer, we were forced upon dealing with a gorgeous actress turn into a fly. Despite having two male protagonists on board, the makers had to rope in a gorilla to romance the leading lady of a show. Yes, we were finally almost about to fathom it, when Sony TV was like, oh wait. what's in a fly and gorilla, here, deal with this.... And there 'This' was Pehredaar Piya Ki...
Yes, a show that made me worried, creeped out and flip out. 'You shouldn't rush into making judgments at a first go and let time unfold the story', they said. But then they also say, "First Impression is the last impression." If it's about sticking to the latter phrase and putting across views of what I got to see in the first 22 minutes of the show, then summing it together, 'Creepy' is the word.
In this century of modernization, this show wants us to believe that a little 10-year-old boy falling for an 18-year-old, is absolutely normal, but in reality, it's NOT. Even if we somewhat choose to absorb it, what the next scene displays, pulls me more into a tizzy. The little boy, a prince, out of love or attraction, stalks his 'lady' and clicks pictures on his Polaroid. The entire shot where he saves the actress from a cockroach where she dramatically falls on him, ('because saving her from a bunch of gundas is just too mainstream Bollywood') and impresses her, is indigestible, (Even an ENO is useless here.)
The actress figures out that the little boy has been stalking her and clicking pictures, but rather than being awkward, she adores him and goes all 'aww, that's cute' and even lays a peck on his cheek (*Kill me already*). Further for all those readers, who still stand by the show nodding in denial to accept its creepiness and that it's actually about a 10-year-old boy getting married to an adult lady, (I too was one of the lot, before I took up the challenge of viewing this episode) the final scene is here to crash your assumptions.
The grand closing scene ends with the little prince proposing to his adult lady for marriage, and that makes her again go, Aww! (*Hmmm*)
While I conclude, the economical saying, demand meets supply, is applicable in the world of entertainment too. When shows like POW, Tamanna are shrugged off by the audience, it boosts such shows then to build up the gumption and get on board with even more creepier content that is accessible at a touch of a remote. Why blame the makers completely, the audience wants it too... History has it.
PS- Get a 'Pehredaar' for your mind before you watch Sony TV's 'Pehredaar Piya Ki.' (*TaDa*)
