I think the channels nowadays are confused about the audience that they want to cater to. The online audience increases their reach & gives free promotion but it doesn't give them trps which actually determine the profit of the shows. They just need to accept that changing the story as per the demands of the so called woke SM audience only disrupts the trp audience ka connect because as you rightly mentioned viewers actually connect to story & characters. And when the characters start behaving OOC just to prop the contrivances of the story, the audience loses the connect to the show.
Also the Sitara channel has had an unchallenged reign for too long now. They really don't have worthy competitor because all other channels become copy cat of their own shows. I think all channels do have equal opportunity to grab audience but they don't have the content. Now SG ka example le lo. The show had such good content for the 1st month but by the end of the month it has also gone into blah zone. They needed to be consistent for at least 2-3 months in the quality of the content to lure more audience.
As it is Sitara channel shows are on decline now. But no other channel is able to give a better option to the audience so the audience is stuck with the shows. Hopefully the channel actually sees reason & stops letting the PHs & makers make changes willy nilly to shows whose story was already working.
@bold: Word.....but SP also has struggle accepting when it's in decline na....lol 2 saal aish kar li by making remakes of Bengali shows and woh initial 3-4 ke success ko permanent samajh liya....lol but the dream run always ends at some point and woh time aa gaya hai inka ab cuz they've bungled whatever readymade copy/paste storylines they had available to easily run these shows at the top for another 2 years.....lol steep decline abhi se shuru ho gaya but they are still clueless that it's a combination of writing missteps and lazy copy/paste of online junta ka reactionary bakwaas.
It's always a death knell when makers start relying either on social media ke khokhle bhaashans for their script or on poorly strung together cliched tropes....lol you need hard work and coherence to make any script work - not gimmicks strung together on a day by day basis.
Anyways abhi toh aur beizzat hona hai inhein.....lol especially Imlie mein toh next level gimmicks aayenge ab in desperation cuz we already know Gultif ka track record 😆.....can't wait to see the excuses fangirls use to defend this "top 5" even when they fall below 2😆
Honestly right now Imlie ka decline is being covered up by Anupama ka steeper decline....lol but then again they had more height to fall from na😆.....a longer way down while Imlie toh waise hi bahut time se below 3 zone mein float kar raha tha toh their decline has been more gradual but it is absolutely a decline and a decline ain't "success" in any dictionary no matter what gaslighting fangirls try to claim😆
