What if Netflix’s Squid Game Was an Indian Daily Soap? Imagine ‘Squid Game’ turned into an Indian daily soap with 2,000 episodes, daily cliffhangers, and dramatic violin soundtracks. It wouldn’t remain just a survival show – it would become an eternal saga of revenge, rebirth, and sanskaar.
Episode 1:
Contestants enter the deadly arena wearing designer kurtas and chiffon sarees. The background voiceover narrates each contestant’s tragic backstory with teary flashbacks of abusive sasurals, land disputes, and lost property deeds. Someone will definitely look up at the sky with folded hands praying for their children before the first game even begins.
Episode 50:
Red Light Green Light game ends after 10 episodes because everyone stops midway to cry about their families and their unfinished rituals back home. The doll transforms into an evil mother-in-law figure, giving taunting lectures about sanskaar and izzat before shooting anyone who dares blink.
Episode 120:
A shocking twist reveals the Front Man is actually the heroine’s presumed-dead husband reborn with memory loss and a new face after plastic surgery. Slow-motion zoom-ins, dramatic thunder sounds, and wide-eyed gasps follow as every contestant stands frozen for an entire episode processing the revelation.
Episode 234:
Players plan to escape, but suddenly there’s a 7-year leap. The storyline returns showing their grown-up children joining the same game, each burning with vengeance to finish what their parents couldn’t and reclaim the family’s izzat and wealth.
Episode 500:
The VIPs arrive wearing velvet sherwanis, layered pearl necklaces, and mangalsutras. Instead of betting with cold ruthlessness, they gossip about whose son is marrying whom, who brought the tastiest gulab jamun to the party last night, and which player has the best family background to marry into.
Episode 800:
Any contestant who dies returns as their identical twin sibling or reincarnated as a shape-shifting naagin to kill the Front Man and avenge their family’s ruin. The entire episode features hypnotic naagin flute music as the camera zooms into their glittery snake eyes from twenty angles.
Episode 1500:
This hour-long episode has no games at all. Instead, it shows dramatic kitchen confrontations over stale parathas, bitter masala chai, and betrayal tears as alliances break and re-form, while the game remains paused for days to resolve household politics.
Final Episode:
After 2000 episodes, the winner finally emerges, victorious, broken, yet dignified. But just as they are about to walk out with the prize money, they wake up to realise it was all a dream sequence created by an old family patriarch to teach them the value of life, family, and daily pooja rituals. Everyone gathers to hug, cry, and resolve differences while temple bells ring in the background.
Because in an Indian daily soap Squid Game, nobody really dies. They simply return with a plastic surgery twist, a coma track, an evil twin reveal, or a naagmani-fuelled rebirth – ready to fight again for love, revenge, and dramatic TRPs.
