I’ve gone on about how terrible Indian TV is for a long time - not a single fictional show has really ever broken the soap opera format, unlike Pakistani television, where the soapy shows never caught on and the focus has been on writing since the medium was introduced.

Yash Raj Films seems to have noticed the same thing as me (it’s near impossible not to), and is using their considerable clout to get film actors and competent filmmakers together to make a bunch of shows for the Sony Entertainment Television (yes, the PlayStation people have their own network).

The shows start in January, and will hopefully make their way online/on video soon enough to watch.
