Formula for TRP success - Saraswatichandra

What makes a soap get high TRP Edited by arshicritic - 11 years ago

While I am enjoying Gautam and Jens scenes, the rest is so cliched and typical Hindi serial.

Guess we should not expect anything better

Even though there are some typical things involved in SC, I personally think it is much different to any other show on Indian TV. Most shows CLAIM to be different, but have the same feel - a bubbly female lead, or a seedhi/saadhi i-will-accept-anything kinda female lead. However on this show, both the leads are actually different!  Edited by enchanted. - 11 years ago

I can stand most things in a soap opera except when the male lead handles the female aggressively and then people find that "romantic". Abuse is abuse and there's nothing that makes it okay, even if it looks "intense" or if it's his way of expressing his feelings.

I like the way Saras is a strong but kind hearted man. Kumud can be too arrogant at times, I admit but I rather see a feisty girl than one that cries all day long.

Overall, it may not be the greatest show ever, but it's not all that bad considering what else is shown on Indian tv.

Kumud isn't a typical lead - she knows how to use everything she's got. She's intelligent, confident, practical, sensual and flirty - and she's aware of all of her traits too!

Saras is such a beautiful character, because he is such a pure hero! 

^Both of these things are refreshing.

Oh and I disagree with quite a few of your points:

1) Almost everybody on the show is a really good actor - be it VC, Dukhbaa, Chachi, Kumari or Kusum. 

I am sure they are good actors, but acting is very loud, Dukba, kaki, Guman - very very exaggerated expressions

2) WTH this show DOES NOT just focus on the leads! ..which is very clear from almost every single episode so far. 

there I disagree, all the interactions are only to bring the leads together, there is no independent track,  story unravelling

3) There is emotional drama, obviously! SC the novel is a tragedy!

the emotional drama with intensity - good, screaming, screeching, making faces in the name of expressing - that is what I am objecting to dear

4) The drama may be illogical to you now, because the storylines are still being revealed!

I hope so, that's why I am still watching, but till then I must express my frustration with the treatment

5) Most storylines here have no logic ki vaat..compared to other shows, its pretty logical. 

don't watch any other shows, this is the show I watch, and I expected better, it stretches the credibility quite a bit - the whole gau hatya track 

6) In many families in India, especially rural India, and even Indian families outside of India, sanskaar is very important, and IS brought up if someone does something wrong. 

true, but in our soaps, it is a formula to heap emotional blackmail and atyachaar. A lot of illogical stuff gets explained in the name of sanskars, with no one really understanding what our sanskars really are
