Remember the time when dinner wasn't served at home before 11 PM because your mother didn't wish to miss out the bout of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Or remember the time when your dad answered every question that Amitabh Bachchan asked the contestants of Kaun Banega Crorepati? Or even those moments when grandmothers thought that her four sons signified the characters of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki?
Yes, they're most of the unforgettable memories that have been, and even today, mark the power of Hindi Television shows and what it did to us in the recent years.
We Indians are usually on top of the emotional quotient and anything that strikes our emotional chords will be an instant hit. That is why, family soaps have managed to get in touch to people, which in return gave the shows their TRP's, awards and the tag to be the most successful show in the Indian television history.Ajooni Today Episode
Similar may be the case with reality shows. The audience cried when the contestants failed and celebrated when they prevailed. These reality shows gave a chance to the ordinary people to change their destiny and acquire fame. It made people believe they have the same chance to be on television, and that looking attractive or walking around production houses to showcase their talent wasn't required anymore to be a part of a show. It is therefore not wrong to express that Indian shows offers us plenty of drama, entertainment and opportunities, which connects all of us to it.
But the purpose and to be noted listed here is that folks change their preferences very quickly with new shows. Channels like Zee, Colours, Star and Sony are trying quite difficult to produce the best mix of family soaps and reality shows to improve their TRP's.
Currently, Colours stands second in TRP charts with their shows like India's Got Talent and Balika Vadhu. However, Sony Entertainment stands tall with Kaun Banega Crorepati, CID, Bade Acche Lagte Ho and Crime Patrol, and walks away with the chunk of top shows in the charts, both in the daily soaps section as well as the fact shows section. Star marks third with their show Diya Aur Baati Hum, after their drop in the charts with the finish of Satyameva Jayate season one.
But at the end of your day, these numbers really don't matter to the Hindi television audience. What really matters in their mind may be the emotional connect which they find in the fact shows and family soaps why these channels have to provide them.
