Balika Vadhu

14 Aug 2012

Saas-bahu continues to entertain the Indian television. Balika Vadhu has completed over a thousand episodes now, running successfully for over seven years.

It seems that the music composer and the director do not get along too well. The composer makes all effort to kill the moment of the scene by using a peculiar dhadhamm...dhadhamn... drum beats. The director after all these years, has learned himself a few tricks to beat the composer’s determination – he focuses the camera again-and-back-again on the actor’s face to keep the viewer’s attention. The poor actor has started complaining neck problems; it seems to move only in one direction.

The lead actress of Balika Vadhu is now in her twenties, with her second marriage on the way. Every Indian family is excited about it (except the music composer, who seems to have intensified the drum beats) – after all, she is engaged to the district collector, who is madly in love with her. The actress, however, is in a bit of a problem. It might take another thousand episodes before she can turn her neck in the other direction.
