Stars' take on Star One's six day development..
Friday, November 26, 2010 | 7:28:28 PM IST (+05:30 GMT)Telly stars talk about the aspect of Star One shows airing from Monday to Saturday..Read to know the pros and cons of the same from your favorite actors..
Star One's shows have gone six days from the earlier five days a week and the schedule has already started from the current week. With the shows going six days a week, viewers are definitely going to see their favorite stars in their favorite shows for an extra day and they will no longer have to wait for the surprise element, with which a show normally ends on Friday.
But was it really a wise decision by the channel to take the shows to a day further in a week?
Well, there are indeed pros and cons related to the issue. Also we see that most of the shows are having multi tracks bringing in more characters to add on to the episode banks. But the question is whether this will dilute the main content of the show or not? Addition of more characters implies more stories and the rule of CINTAA, stating that actors cannot work for more than 12 hours, also brings in the fact that the lead actors might get less screen space together. Won't that be a disappointment for the viewers?
Tellybuzz put forth these questions to the stars of shows in Star One and they gave the following responses.
I personally feel that people want something fresh for weekends like movies, and daily soaps are perfect with a schedule from Monday to Friday. When the shows go to weekends, the work becomes more hectic and also it might affect the content. There are pros and cons related to this issue. One advantage that we enjoy is we will earn more (laughs), but simultaneously there is a demand of more episode bank which in turn demands more input from the actors and the production crew. Addition of multi tracks can be worked out for limited number of shows and not for all, because I believe that a show should have a conviction. The rule that CINTAA has put forward is hardly followed by people and the show lacking audience, for not seeing the lead pairs together, is an issue that can affect those shows that are running on the leads like Dill Mill Gaye.Whole article here:
