The one thing that people like to do over the internet is complain. About multiple things. Leading monotonous lives being one of them. Then why is it that when films and shows about rich people living their aesthetic lives are made, the audience becomes divided? While one half lives vicariously through their luxurious lives, many resort to more complaining.
However, it is a misconception that media about rich people living their lives is not well received by the masses. One being brought into conversation as Ananya Pandey’s ‘Call Me Bae’, prepares to premiere on Prime Video soon.
Take ‘Made in Heaven’, for example. Not only was the show set around the financial crème de la crème bracket of society, it was also very well received by viewers. Both seasons of the Prime Video show were instant hits.
Moreover, shows like ‘Two Broke Girls’ and ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ albeit foreign have influenced the viewing patterns of Indian audience heavily. On the other hand, however, some shows centered around the same theme have also failed to impress audiences.
For example Netflix’s ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’ failed to impress viewers. This just goes to say that at the end of the day, it is not the theme or even the storyline that a show is based on, it is primarily the quality of it in terms of plotline and character development and an on-screen resonance between not just the love interests, but also the cast in totality!
