The Other Woman

Preamble
Some time back I saw the Star Pariwar Awards ceremony on TV and was quite amused to find that most of the awards were won by the cast and serials of Balaji Films (Ekta Kapoor) [Should it be (Cake)ta Kapoor?]. The Award Ceremony could easily have been renamed Ekta Kapoor Star Parivar Awards.

The way Ekta Kapoor and her serials have dominated Star Plus for the past three years (despite the bashing by the intelligentia?), shows that there is some thing in this lady which carries her through. Her serials have mass appeal only surpassed probably by Ramayana and Maharabhata. Considering the fact that the awards were given based on the viewers choice and not by a jury (which could probably be manipulated) kudos to Ekta Kapoor for having come out on top.

My review is not on Ekta Kapoor or on Star TV, (they are both dominating enough without a review) but on the dominance of the Other Woman in Ekta Kapoor’s serials.
