Comedy Is Fading

Comedy Is Fading.
—————-
Now a days life is full of tensions. Nucleolus family system has increased tension even more. When you come from office, you want to relax and want to spend time with the family. You switch on a popular TV show or youtube and you find yourself in a jinx when in the name of a laughter show which gives you a shock. Comedy which is served to us ,is not only vulgar and indescent but also gives you more tension instead of relaxation. A poor version of copy of a foreign show. A group which is now a days in the limelight,led by Sameer Raina may be the frontline culprits of degrading comedy but the real culprit is the younger generation which is promoting this kind of so called spicy shows. The other hot sizzler in our plate is Kunal Kamra whose a poor parody of song for a deputy CM goes so personal which of course caught attention all over media. You can not say anything in the name of expression.

There was a time when people used to wait for the comedy films or a comic scene in a film. There was a time when comedians were given as importance as the Hero of the films.

Charlie Chaplin was not only the best comedian of the world. We can see his short films which had no dialogues only innocent gestures of him till today gives you a burst of laughter. You can see Charlie series umpteen times and never get bored. Same is the case of The duo of Laurel and Hardy who give you smile on your face. In Indian cinema to start with Bhagwan Dada, Johni Walker, Kishore Kumar, Mehmood,Rajender Nath,Keshto Mukherjee and many more. You can smile only by watching them on screen.

If we talk about stand up comedians Late Raju Srivastav , Kapil Sharma, Bharti Singh,Sunil Pal,Sunil Grover and many more have descency in their comedy. You can watch them with family and feel light.

There were times when the Kings in the olden times had witty courtiers who could find easy solutions to a tense problem or a tense moment. Tenaliram in Krishdev Raya’s court was one of such a gem. We can see serials based on his popular replies. Similarly Birbal was a gem to the Moghul Emperor Akbar’s court.

In Hindi literature Hasya Ras is one of the Nine Rasa(Nine aspects and expressions of life). Kaka Hathrasi was a famous poet.
Even today we can see many Hasya Poets performing better than any comedian.

is the right time for the cultured and civilized society to draw and reconstitute the lines and limits for generation next. They will have to respect the customs and traditions age long civilization. We cannot ignore our basic moral values.bYou cannot cross the line in the name of freedom of expression otherwise new cultural Ravna in disguise is ready to kidnap the civilization Sita.
