Its just satire, and anyone who loved Kareena Kareena will get it:-)
(ACPA-Mumbai) A new Asian Crisis has been declared as authorities in Mumbai and New Delhi are forced to come to terms with the increasing melodrama of India's Soap Operas.
The crisis was ignited two years ago during an episode of "Astitva Ek Prem Kahani" when it emerged that the young Englishwoman searching Goa for novelist Anand, was in fact his long lost daughter who had been kidnapped as a baby during a vacation to London. Without flinching the producers quickly piled on more melodrama with the murder of Anand's other daughter in a terrorist bombing a few episodes later.
At first the crisis was not noticed but as the "Astitiva" series continued to mock reality without ever losing its number one spot, competing producers were forced to up the ante. Soon an increasing number of conniving sisters in-law whose very appearance on screen is heralded with evil music were quickly followed by righteous husbands with their endless teeth gnashing while they obsess over family honor.
To help audiences overcome illogical and bizarre stories antagonists have taken to speaking their evil plans out loud so that everyone knows what's going to happen next.
Kasamh Se and the Secret of the Outhouse
Combined with post-modernist wild camera movements every time dramatic news is announced, these plot twists and turns are causing an uncontrollable surge in melodrama. This surge is doing untold damage to the intellect of the India public whose credulity has been growing weekly. Now an avalanche effect of total intellectual meltdown is being approached in the National Disaster that is known as "Kasamh Se".
Speaking on the phenomenon, Indian media Personality Rohit Pecorry remarked at a recent Mumbai University conference, "Kasamh Se's secret of the outhouse may be a leap of faith into the abyss of farce, but the most egregious example was the melodramatic destruction of the funny and much loved "Kareena, Kareena!". I'm still in mourning for that show".
Later at the conference, Indian President Patil, announced the creation of a "Drama Commission to review the melodramatic impact of Soap Operas on society".
Taking Decisive Action
To ensure efficiency, Patil's small Commission will consist of a chairman, fourteen exploratory committees,12,200 employees with additional positions for those from protected castes.
Other vacancies will be made available on a "nod-is-as-good-as-a-wink with-500Rupees-in-a-brown-envelope-please" basis.
In a message of support UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown noted that "We can trace the decline of England to the launching of "Eastenders" in 1985 and this new Asian Crisis is of utmost concern for the future of Asia." adding "I do quite like that "Coronation street" though".
Meanwhile Zee TV-USA expressed hope that the commission would not affect their ability to broadcast fraudulent advertising for fake psychics.
