Every big Maharashtrian Festival is observed in ongoing Marathi serials. On the occasion of Gudhi Padwa, we saw the hoisting of Gudhi , through many serials. In ‘Asa Sasar Surekh Bai‘ on Colors channel, we saw Santosh Juvekar playing the character of Yash Mahajan returning home from hospital, on this festive occasion. We also saw Vaibhav Mangle hoisting the Gudhi at his residence and offering prayers, in presence of his wife and parents , in the serial ‘Majhe Pati Soubhagyavati‘ on Zee Marathi channel.

But, in Star Pravah‘s serial ‘Devyani‘ , on the auspicious occasion of Gudhi Padwa, Ekka and Phulrani played by will be seen as a newly married couple, showing them celebrating the festival together. In short, the couple will be seen together in a happy mood, with Phulrani, winning her love. But now, it remains to be seen, how Phulrani will protect her husband from Surekha.

TV serials are generally meant for entertaining the home audience. Generally, the evening time is a pass time for housewives. For the working people, it is time for relaxation with light humour , after a tiring day; while for youngsters, it is time for some entertainment. But, are our Marathi TV serials offering the required entertainment to all such people ? Frankly speaking, during the year 2015, we did not notice, much of quality entertainment through these TV serials, except for few exceptions. But, the laughter shows, did entertain the audience to certain extent, on different channels.

Among the Marathi serials telecast on different channels, only ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’ on Zee Marathi provided good entertainment, especially inviting the attention of young audience. In fact, the young characters in this serial, represented different sections of society, to relate with the young audience. But, the subjects of other new serials , failed to impress and few of them had to say goodbye. Those, which are yet to find a proper grip on their story and screenplay are, ‘Asa Sasar Surekh Bai’ & ’Saraswati’ ( Recently released) ‘ on Colors, ‘Majhe Pati Soubhagyavati’ & ‘ Nanda Soukhyabhare’ on Zee Marathi, ‘Tumcha Aamcha Same Asata’ on Star Pravah. ‘Runji’ and ‘Kamala’ which began well, unfortunately disappointed , with their further progress. Surprisingly, some old serials on all channels, are still continuing, testing the patience of the audience.

Now, there is big hope from the new year 2016. And, it is high time that respective Marathi TV channels, seriously take into account the subjects, which would appeal all age groups. Actually, no serial should continue for more than a year, as it is very difficult to hold the grip on the story and at the same time, continue entertain the audience. During this first month of the new year, we are expecting one new serial in the form of ‘Pasant Aahe Mulgi’, with an interesting tagline; i.e. For a successful marriage, only matching the horoscope is not necessary; but, even the wavelength should match. Similarly, the wavelength of the characters performing in different serials, should match with the audience. Hope, our programme producers of all TV channels, keep this in mind, during this new year.
