The problem with Indian content is that it is very long , not available with subtitles and quality is not good . why indian drama ?
A very good friend has asked me this question. And this must have been in the minds of many people. so i will answer here.
audience:
your basic audience is the audience of your own country . This audience is formed on the basis of geographical culture, gender and age group etc.
length:
When you can watch two and a half hour Turkish Spanish Lebanese drama with 100-250 episodes then why not Indian drama.
If Indian dramas are compared then each episode is 20 minutes long and if we take a thousand episodes. 20min *1000 episodes = 20000 mins / 60 mins = 333 hours approx
Now let's talk about Turkish spanish lebanon drama. 150 minutes per episode * 150 episodes / 60 minutes = 375 hours.
There is not much difference in length
Subtitles:
Subtitles are not available This problem is no longer there because the official networks make it available on the official website along with the subtitles as soon as the telecast is done. now they are also available in free sites. you just need to search.
quality
Production companies matter. It comes when the production gives complete freedom to the writer and director. That is, it has no restrictions on time and budget, which is not principle in Indian serials which are updated daily, seven days .but still their are some dramas which have good quality . i have watch some of them thanks to my friends . you just need to search . And don't forget movies . now webseries are also available. I have seen some of the content and I liked it. And which country's content is 100% good record?
India also used to provide one episode of 1-2 hours a week, this rule was changed around 1990 and episodes of 20 minutes were provided daily. and indian audience are happy about it.
Apart from this, other countries also provide programs of 1-2.5 hours duration of one episode and that too on a weekly basis. Whereas Indian serials give the same thing daily, if Indian serials are also provide 2.5 hours weekly basis one episode then I am sure it will also stand at par with other countries. Due to being weekly, the dramas of other countries get a lot of hype because the things you get rarely are appreciated and the things you get regularly, people do not give that much importance to, same is the case with Indian serials.
For example, I recently watched P country drama which had 50-52 episodes of 45min running time. I lost interest in it after 24 episodes because the story was being stretched too much to keep the episodes going, scenes were jumping, there was no connection from one scene to the next, the writing was illogical, just because the lead couple were famous. , because episode came once a week. The audience gave it too much importance. Even with such poor writing, this show broke records.
The point of saying all this is that it is not certain on what basis the audience likes something. it can be anything . There are different reasons for audience liking. Favorite actor, actress, director, producer/production, country , singer, story, theme, tag, genre , culture , environment Or there was some scandal at that time. So no one can control the choice of audience that you have to like any content on this particular basis only . Because every audience has different preferences.
It is not necessary that what you dislike/like should be disliked/liked by the whole world.
You are free to have your choice and so are others. There is no need to look down on someone if he does not agree with your choice of country/content.
