Every fiction show on Indian television promises to be unique when it comes to its content. But only a few shows really manage to keep up to that promise. Every show that appears to be different in the beginning starts to follow the same predictable route for big drama. This path taken is traversed by many shows and many makers, so much so that on many occasions, more than one fiction show ends up showing the same kind of track/ story plot at the same time!!
Yes, this is certainly an ‘Oops’ moment for the viewer, especially if he/she is following both the shows that end up showing the same big twist!!
So here we are, at IWMBuzz.com, taking our readers down memory lane, as we pick the best of the similar/ repetitive tracks happening at the same time in more than one show.
Fall Off The Cliff and Accident Drama: Recently, the renowned production house Director’s Kut, that of Rajan Shahi indulged in a double dose of drama in both of their shows Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Anupamaa. While Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai indulged in the accidental fall of Anisha, which led to her death and Kairav being blamed for it, Anupamaa showed the huge fall of Vanraj and Anuj from the top of a cliff. The result of this was that both of them were hospitalized for days. It was fun watching these similar tracks grabbing the attention of viewers.
Sisters Involved In Bride Swap: Sasural Simar Ka 2 and Udaariyaan, both the shows on Colors showed tracks of weddings undergoing dramatic twists. In Udaariyaan, Fateh and Jasmine were to marry when Jasmine got to know that Fateh was not taking her to Canada. She refused to marry him, which ultimately led to Tejo being asked to marry Fateh. In Sasural Simar Ka 2, at the same time when the above track was on, Aarav was to marry Reema. However, Reema placed Simar as the bride and went for an audition. Ultimately it was the elder sister Simar who got married to Aarav. Interesting plots here dealt with the twists in the lives of two sisters, where one moves out and the other gets married to the main man.
Leading Ladies And Their Pregnancy Issues: The Star Plus’ popular shows Imlie and Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin depicted the pain and suffering of their leading ladies as they had a problem in going the family way. Imlie had pregnancy issues post which there were problems in the household for her. In Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Sai lost her baby owing to a fall after which she could not become a mother. This brought about the surrogacy track and big drama. Both these tracks happened simultaneously.
Lead Pairs Die Together: Very recently, the lead Jodis of the Star Plus show Imlie and Colors’ show Udaariyaan, died together. While it was an accident that brought about the death of Fateh and Tejo, it was a bomb blast in which Aryan and Imlie succumbed. We literally saw these Jodis dying on the same day.
Generation Leap And Start Of Two Daughters’ Story: Again, it was the same combination of Imlie and Udaariyaan here. The death of lead jodis happened at the same time, followed by the generation leap taken on the same day. The interesting aspect and similarity that followed were that both shows had two girl protagonists taking the centre stage. In Udaariyaan, the sisters were Nehmat and Naaz. Naaz grew up with an insecurity factor. In Imlie, Cheeni grew to be an individual who felt that her sister has got the love of her mother and that she has gotten less.
New Hero Blocks The Road, Shows His Talent: This similarity was literally not expected, but we have seen it in coming. The two shows of Star Plus, Imlie and Banni Chow Home Delivery have introduced a new male lead on the show. While it is a generation leap and introduction in Imlie, Banni Chow Home Delivery brings in a new hero and a new angle to the plot. Actor Karan Vohra’s introduction scene as Atharva in Imlie happened when he had a whole road blocked, wherein he showcased his rockstar credentials by playing his musical instrument and singing. Cross to Banni Chow Home Delivery, there was a scene where Agasthya played by Arijit Taneja blocked the road and showcased his singing credentials by playing his musical instrument. In both cases, the guys were spotted by the lead girl who complains and rebukes the manner in which the guy has blocked the traffic from moving and is creating a scene. Another interesting similarity, the lead guy is named with the letter ‘A’ in both cases. And both the guys are rock stars!! Voot!! Voot!!
Well, well these are very few drastic similarities in tracks that we have picked up in recent times!! You can continue and add to the list!! We are sure it will end up being a long one.
