Remember enough time when dinner wasn't served at home before 11 PM because your mother didn't desire to miss the bout of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Or remember enough time whenever your dad answered every question that Amitabh Bachchan asked the contestants of Kaun Banega Crorepati? As well as those moments when grandmothers thought that her four sons signified the characters of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki?
Yes, they are most of the unforgettable memories that have been, and even today, mark the ability of Hindi Shows and what it did to us in the recent years.
We Indians are always at the top of the emotional quotient and something that strikes our emotional chords will be an instant hit. That's why, family soaps have managed to connect to people, which in exchange gave the shows their TRP's, awards and the tag to be the absolute most successful show in the Indian television history.Ajooni Today Episode
Similar is the case with reality shows. The audience cried once the contestants failed and celebrated when they prevailed. These reality shows gave to be able to the ordinary people to improve their destiny and acquire fame. It made people believe they've an equal opportunity to be on television, and that looking attractive or caught production houses to showcase their talent wasn't required anymore to be an integral part of a show. It is therefore not wrong to state that Indian shows offers us a lot of drama, entertainment and opportunities, which connects many of us to it.
But the point and to be noted here's that individuals change their preferences rapidly with new shows. Channels like Zee, Colours, Star and Sony are trying very difficult to come up with the most effective mixture of family soaps and reality shows to increase their TRP's.
Currently, Colours stands second in TRP charts making use of 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 along with the truth shows section. Star marks third making use of 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 the day, these numbers really don't matter to the Hindi television audience. What really matters for them is the emotional connect which they find in the truth shows and family soaps these channels have to offer them.
