Do old Marathi serials feel more meaningful than today’s TRP-driven shows, or is it just nostalgia?”
I’ve been rewatching and recalling older Marathi serials like Honar Sun Me Hya Gharchi, Julun Yeti Reshimgathi, Unch Majha Zoka, Vadalvaat, Kulvadhu, Ekach Hya Janmi Janu, and Dil Dosti Duniyadari.
Compared to today’s serials, the feel is very different.
Older shows felt slower but more structured. Characters were more consistent, and relationships developed gradually instead of being driven by constant twists.
For example, Julun Yeti Reshimgathi focused on emotional buildup, while Honar Sun Me Hya Gharchi had simple but coherent family dynamics. Unch Majha Zoka also stood out for its depth beyond just drama.
Now many current shows feel more stretched for conflict, with repeated misunderstandings and frequent character changes just to push episodes forward.
But I also wonder—Is this actually better writing from the past, or just nostalgia because those shows are already complete?
What do you think—has Marathi serial storytelling improved or declined over time?
