Something about this age old formula, still seem to hold the female viewers in the thrall and they seem to want this bad guy to get the girl in spite of everything and for him to turn good due to his love for her, even though he is a happily married man, whose wife dotes on him. This guy is portrayed to be a person who will sacrifice anything and any one in order to get possession of his obsession.īut, due to the fall in TRPs, it is rumored that the track will now be changed to that of the love story between Amoli and that of Radhe, Thakur's most loyal servant, to whom the Thakur got Amoli married by deceit in order to get access and control of her.īut still a large fraction of the fans of the show still want the Thakur and Amoli to be together, rather than Radhe and Amoli who are legally married. In the end, it was presumed to be the love story of the Thakur and Amoli, and although set against a more realistic back drop, is presumed to follow the age old formula, of the bad boy turning good for the love of a good woman formula, although the character of the Thakur, has been pushed beyond the usual acceptable standards of a "bad boy" image to an altogether different level.
And how this obsession of his takes over his whole life and that of Amoli's and ways and extents to which he goes to get control of Amoli and to bend her to his will and how Amoli tries to escape his clutches forms the content of the present track of the serial. This throws him into the thrall of anger, frustration stubbornness and into complete obsession with the girl. For the first time, in his life he meets with resistance to his overtures and rejection to fulfill his wants and desires. Into this existence of his enters Amoli, a poor farmer's idealistic daughter and with her entrance into his life, his life changes. He is a man who has never heard No from anyone nor met with any resistance.
But, underneath this facade, lives a completely ruthless man, who has been born and bred in luxury, who takes everything as his birth right including the power passed to him over the poor in the village from generation to generation. To the outside world and to his family, (he is a happily married man with a wife who dotes on him and consists of other family members) he appears as the ideal man, husband, family man and land lord. With this as the backdrop, the story revolves mainly around a poor farmer's idealistic daughter called Amoli and the Thakur of the Village (Thakur Digvijay Singh), who considers the village and its people as his own, to use, manipulate, punish and reward as he pleases and who rules the village with an iron hand. It attempts to depict the exploitation of the poor by the rich and the trials and tribulations which are faced by them. This is set against the realistic back ground of the farmer suicides in Maharashtra.
One of the contributing factors could be the globalization of the country and the entry of international channels such as star plus, mtv and such channels entering the counĪnd one of such attempts to explore something new, while presenting an old formula in a new package and also pushing the envelope as to the darkness of the main male protagonist is the creation of the serial called "Bairi Piya". But, in the past couple of years, here as well as Bollywood has seen the change in the trends of exploring new horizons, mainly due to the viewers being no longer being satisfied by the same routine content being dished out to them in almost the same or similar packages. For the past decade or so, the television industry has been revolutionized and dominated by the Saas Bahu kind of sagas.
