Whoever coined the term idiot box decades ago must have been far-sighted, because the Indian television industry seems to be doing justice to the term. When it comes to bizarre plots, nothing beats the daily soaps — from ichha-dhaari naagins (shape-shifting serpents) to crocodile attacks to tiger incarnations, they have done it all. Logic and practicality seem alien to the show writers, but weird concepts and ridiculous twists and turns keep the audience hooked, going by the TRP reports.

Believe it or not, 'Naagin' is currently the highest rated show on Indian television. The supernatural revenge drama stars Mouni Roy, Arjun Bijlani, Sudha Chandran and Adaa Khan. To be fair, it was meant to be that way — an ichha-dhari naagin out to seek vengeance. But what really amuses us is when a normally-running soap accommodates hilarious and indigestible content for the sake of a 'twist' (can you hear 'Aagey jaanne ke liye dekhiye...' playing in your head?). A case in point is Karan Kundra's recent show 'Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum'. After nearly three months of playing a normal human being, he will be shown metamorphosing from a rockstar to a tiger by night! The transformation takes place because of a curse on his father which affects the next generation. So, as Karan begins to roar and gets his claws and jaws out, his wife will be left to sort out his mess (read: carcass).
