Every show repeats and rinses the same things. yet trp viewers never get tired watching them.
EK, Gulmata, and Leena Ganguly (in Bengal circuit) have collectively destroyed the quality of ITV dramas. Plus, they are all so arrogant. KJo hain yeh 3. The way Bollywood boycott is happening, these kinds of regressive shows should also be boycotted. It is high time people rise from their addiction to such regressive content and bring changes in ITV.
Its been like 20 years since we were cursed with ekta kapoor brand of itv and we have become progressively worse in terms of content
3 things i remember from tv honchos discussion was
1) shows are not made for metropolitan cities, liberal urban educated audiences. Their numbers are too low. The goal is to reach tier 2-3 cities where for example, allowing girls to study is modern and allowing them to work toh is sign of super modernity
2) shows are made so that tv background mein chalta rahe while the homemaker is doing her chores. So you rarely see intelligent shows that would require you to watch the complete episode with full concentration
3) love stories may have online support but don't get offline support. But channels run them periodically to reach NRI, online advertisers and generally building hype and buzz around channel. But preference is always towards family drama
But this is also 6-7 years old discussion. Apparently we haven't changed much... And itv is still producing the same stuff. The only thing that will change it is when some show come and rocks the boat...
The last time that happened was the 'gaon' stories of unimaginable abuse like na aana is desh lado, agle janam mujhe bitiya hi kijiyo etc (thank god that shiiit is over)
