Of Ekta Kapoor & K-Soap Screenplays!
Over the years, I have seen more than my fair share of Television. This includes religious following of every television fad from the “Popular-American-Show-Dubbed-in-Hindi” Phase (Small Wonder, Superhuman Samurai Cybersquad, & the like), to the “Quiz Show” Phase (BQC, KBC), to the current “Unbelievably Scripted Reality Show” Phase . However, there is one TV fad that never really caught on with me.. The Star Soap Parivaar! I guess I never really got the novelty of the thing. Lemme rephrase that. No one, other than bored housewives, really got the novelty of the thing. I mean, I can understand a ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’ here, and a ‘Kyunki…’ there, catching on TRP fire. But going by the sheer volume of these mondo-hit soaps, there is obviously something that we’re all missing here.
Awesome!! Ekta Kapoor might want to buy this from you soon
psst. An independent, morally upright feminist probably wouldn’t have a husband, a mother-in-law or a sister-in-law. hmm. actually, now that I think about it – an independent, morally upright feminist would be in a K serial period.
LOL! Good stuff!
Thank you peoples! =D@freeflowingsalt: Hey man, we’re talking about a world where people wake up with impeccable make-up on… Where people come back from the dead… Where time and space are dimensions that are as useless as common sense or logic… Hehe, I think we can make room for an independent thinking housewife along the lines of ‘Tulsi Virani’ here.. =p
Sheer brilliance! You have no idea how much I am enjoying your posts
Pure entertainment value ! and you should totally rip some english soaps too btw! like bold and the beautiful and even the more recent ones! would make for more masala 
Haha! Maybe once I capture the local markets first! =)
Hey dude. Big fan. Love your work.
How about a “Randomize” button? That’d generate funny plots.
Haha! Thanks Arjun! But have you gone through the site, man? I draw stick figures for comics. Too lazy to do anything more than absolutely necessary! =p
GENIOUS!!!
Very witty! I did a couple of similar posts on Ekta Kapoor a couple of months back myself: http://mynethome.net/blog/2009/09/anatomy-of-an-ekta-kapoor-soap-the-sleep-matrix/ and http://mynethome.net/blog/2009/09/anatomy-of-an-ekta-kapoor-soap-the-regurgitating-plot/
Hey, can you share the maddox page that inspired this brilliant script generator?
Yep! It’s http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=five_shitty_movies
You are obviously a big fan of Maddox. I’ve been following him for close to 4 years now (unfortunately, he doesn’t update as often as he used to anymore) and some of the language you use gives it away. Good stuff, brother. Keep’em coming!!!
I have recently discovered your site and must say, you have an amazingly nasty sense of humor. You must have some patience to see all these crappy movies. Thanks for getting the storyline to us in a much more entertaining way. Don’t let the site die out-am sure bollywood wud give u enuf masala every year
Just saw this- great work, Sahil
Reminds me of a brilliant Roald Dahl short story ‘The Great Automatic Grammatizator’. Wonder if it also inspired you to make this.
Sahil, You rock man. and the K-Series Generator, is the Icing on the Kake.
i used to go thru a few strips now and then. but have been going thru your entire collection today, and lemme tell you, i havent been so freaking giddy with laughter, in a long time.
Keep up the good work. any new movies u gonna rape anytime soon??
=)
