Remember enough time when dinner wasn't served in the home before 11 PM because your mother didn't wish to miss the episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Or remember enough time as soon as your dad answered every question that Amitabh Bachchan asked the contestants of Kaun Banega Crorepati? Or even those moments when grandmothers believed that her four sons signified the characters of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki?
Yes, they are all of the unforgettable memories that have been, and even today, mark the power of Hindi Tv shows and what it has done to us in the recent years.
We Indians are always at the top of the emotional quotient and whatever strikes our emotional chords could be an instant hit. That is why, family soaps have managed to connect to people, which inturn gave the shows their TRP's, awards and the tag to be probably 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 once they prevailed. These reality shows gave an opportunity to the ordinary people to improve their destiny and acquire fame. It made people believe they have the same opportunity to be on television, and that looking attractive or playing around production houses to showcase their talent wasn't required anymore to be an integral part of a show. Therefore it is not wrong to say that Indian tv shows offers us plenty of drama, entertainment and opportunities, which connects all of us to it.
But the purpose and also to be noted here is that people change their preferences very quickly with new shows. Channels like Zee, Colours, Star and Sony are trying very hard to come up with the very best 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 conclusion 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 to them may be the emotional connect that they find in the truth shows and family soaps that these channels have to supply them.
