i dun understand this TRP kahani..Ekta kapoor type narrative ACTUALLY works with the audience...suspense, drama, dragging, couples with good looking faces, grand sets, throw in some festivals here n there..
lets not compare MB to BV bec. BV has been running for so long, it has it's loyal audience..n they hit jackpot yet again with shiv and anandi and another one coming up..in b/w IPKKND gave tough competition to BV...and SSK ka toh naam hi na lo..it's one serial jiske fans bhi uski hasi udate hai 😆😆 someone wrote in SSK forum ke those who watch SSK should be awarded 😆 and SSK has higher TRP's than MB...😲😆 only relying on saas bahu drama and tears...
i personally hated all Colors shows till i came across MB...SP used to be better contentwise...pyar ka dard hai n all r dramebaaz serials but it's a good mix of everything so it clicks..and YR also ..at some point i was crazy about tht show but i cannot stand it now...neat & clean drama sans villains and vamps..Veera is good...SP is the only channel which works on a different format..otherwise all zee, colors serials and few frm sony also r exactly similar...MB is cut above the rest 👏 they better stick to whatever they r doing n not change the format..it's one of the top 5 shows, aur kya chahiye ..they DARE NOT make it SSK type 🤢
From the beginning itself, TRP's ne original plot ki already game baja daali hai... The show was supposed to somewhat be a ground-breaking show but it has become somewhat run-of-the-mill type due to the TRP pressure... Agreed that the show still has a unique beauty and charm attached to it and that the CV's have managed to weave a beautiful tale given their constraints and I quite appreciate their efforts in churning out content that is quite different from other shows but nevertheless they have already lost their plot, original character-sketches,etc.IMO the CV's are meandering somewhere in between trying to find a footing that would blend in their intended original essence with the current scenario...
The reason why Colors is putting so pressure on the makers for TRP is that they have only BV,SSK and MEIEJ to give them their much needed channel ratings
According to me, Colors channel needs to come up with more content and not rely on just BV,SSK and Madhubala to stay in the race... I read somewhere that if even one of these shows falters the Colors GRP points would fall low.. So Colors would obviously put pressure on the makers to deliver content that would fetch TRP's... And this being ,Nautanki films first show, will have to succumb to the channel demands if the numbers fail to come in...
Would Colors have done the same thing they did had it been a Balaji show? Would they have still exercised so much power?
If the channel comes up with more decent shows that contribute to garnering good channel ratings, it would ease the pressure on the CV's to experiment with their ideas much more than they are doing now...
Zoya they changed the format , that's when they got the TRP's...romance and family drama does work out if executed properly and till november, they did a terrific job...
nyways MB is doing good enuf, and they have a lot to show so lets see...they managed to maintain the uniqueness by not showing any misunderstandings or dragging (otherwise Balraj track cud have been stretched for 3-4 months easily , with good engrossing drama)
