Remember the full time when dinner was not served at home before 11 PM because your mother didn't desire to miss the episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Or remember the full 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 are all the unforgettable memories that were, and even today, mark the energy of Hindi Television shows and what it did to us in the recent years.
We Indians are always at the top of the emotional quotient and anything that strikes our emotional chords will be an instantaneous hit. That is why, family soaps have managed to connect to people, which in return gave the shows their TRP's, awards and the tag of being 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 if they prevailed. These reality shows gave an opportunity to the standard people to improve their destiny and acquire fame. It made people believe they've the same chance to be on television, and that looking attractive or caught production houses to showcase their talent was not required anymore to be part of a show. Therefore it is not wrong to say that Indian tv shows offers us lots of drama, entertainment and opportunities, which connects all of us to it.
But the point and to be noted here is that individuals change their preferences quickly with new shows. Channels like Zee, Colours, Star and Sony are trying quite difficult to come up with the best mixture of family soaps and reality shows to improve their TRP's.
Currently, Colours stands second in TRP charts using 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 reality shows section. Star marks third using their show Diya Aur Baati Hum, after their drop in the charts with the end of Satyameva Jayate season one.
But at the conclusion of the afternoon, these numbers really don't matter to the Hindi television audience. What really matters in their mind is the emotional connect that they find in the reality shows and family soaps why these channels have to supply them.
