Eight soaps in revamp mode
It seems to be makeover season for primetime dailies. Hindi GECs have hit on a smarter formula to revive sagging storylines of existing soaps and giving them a longer airtime (and better TRPs) by introducing new characters (and turning one into a main protagonist), sprucing up current story tracks (may be a leap forward in time or even backward), changing the 'look' of the show protagonists (and even replacing stars who can't deliver TRPs from the show altogether). After all in the numbers game, a show is only as good as its weekly TRPs!
Adaalat
Revamp recipe: Change is the only constant, even for courtroom dramas aired on weekends. After enjoying immense popularity and decent TRPs in the weekend band for two years, Adalat's added a supernatural flavour to every episode and has been recently renamed KhauffKiAdalat.Actors Prerna Vanvari and Smran Jain have been roped in as the new assistants of the legal eagle KD Pathak (Ronit Roy).
