Has Gajendra lost his Midas touch!!

Gajendra Singh -the pioneer of musical reality show has super aces up his sleeves and his show will surely be the most superior show of the year for he did not compromise with quality and resort to cheap gimmicks- this was the claim of the channel and his ardent fans not so long ago. But three months into the show we see a drastic opinion change. Is the pioneer now losing his Midas touch ? Yes thats the question that is comming to the minds of many many viewers now. Gajji, considered to be the pioneer of these types of reality shows, is fighting to save his show. But fact is with every passing week the show is loosing viewers.

When the show started he made promises of a show that would be different from all the other shows. But what difference??? He himself had no idea about it. He just went ahead with the airing. Resulting into losing too many viewers who started watching it. So many are heard commenting the same, we started watching it but lost interest so shifted to ............ What was the hurry Gajji??? You had some really good singers and could have made a much better show with proper planning!!!

Then started his games as to how to get the TRP's high from other shows. The first step was making the statement that Lataji would be the judge in the finals. WOW!! But unfortunately Lataji herself had no knowledge about it.

Tried his hands on creating drama's in the show. But unfortunately ended into making it so disgusting that few more viewers got irritated and left. TRP went down more. I think he too realised it especially with the feedback comming from all viewers across the country. So he stopped it at one point.

Now came the bold statement : This show is just a singing show and will give more importance to only sur and not performance. Every other judge was made to make this statement. How about now wqatching the Govinda episode. Or the Anil Kapoor one!! Come now Gajji you also know well that without those masala the show will not run. And finally even you would have to follow the same pattern as other shows. So why make such statements??

The last nail in the coffin was the drama about Alkaji leaving the show due to misbehaviour of fellow judges. Gajji, most Indians living abroad knew that Alkaji was leaving -aha mind you not the show but going for a overseas concert and would be back in a couple or so months time. It was being advertised there repeatedly. Later even Indian media reported the same. You saw a scope for good drama and utilised it to garner TRP's. Infact right when that declaration came out we predicted how she would get back to the show upon return from the tour and it has almost matched verbatim. What did you think, the viewers have virtually shut their eyes to reality?

Wake up Gajji. The show TRP's have fallen down to it lowest for any reality show. And mind you we all know TRP matters. We also know how particular Star Channel guys are with regard to TRP. The show KBC-3 had much higher TRP than SVOI but they considered it low and closed it. So what fate do you think avaits SVOI.... And to expect for a second season.... sorry Gajji forget it if the show runs this way!!!

Sachin always remember TRP is directly proportional to SMS too. Low TRP means less viewers and hence less SMS. Also remember low TRP means less from advertisements too. KBC used to earn a huge amount from advertisements. Something that SVOI will again lag behind.

Not exactly... the overall TRPs of C 2007 are better than C 2005 but the number of votes has reduced drastically.... watching and voting is different.... people would vote for a contestant only if they feel that the person deserves....

KBC and VOI are completely different shows.... KBC had huge set so has VOI, however KBC paid a lot to Shahrukh or Big B and also incurred regular expenses with winning... VOI costs are mostly the sets and the musicians... so the cost budget of KBC was quite quite high than VOI.... so treatment for both shows differs.... if KBC was shut with low TRPs... we cant say same will happen to VOI.... the show has done what it said.... giving very good contestants.... though the format and drama are a put off on a nice show😊

If we think logically then forget getting more viewers. Do you think when the other shows are going through climax the viewers are going to leave those to shift here? Sorry thats a big misconception. Gajji played the whole thing wrong and now its already too late.....

There is big gamble in TRPs.... two shows are at the same time and hence the increase in TRP of one program is reducing the one of other.... which we have witnessed during last two weeks if u take close look at TRPs😉

Yes Jaadoo Bhai he took the viewers for granted. He thought whatever he dishes out everyone's going to swallow it. WHY??? Because its by Gajendra!! He should have kept it in mind that he was starting everything afresh. So better be carefull.

Yes he was aware of the thing that he was starting everything afresh.... and he always made an effort to bring a brand out of Voice of India that can beat other shows... the brand says

1. Suron se samjhauta nahi: most of the singers selected are the best (without any wild card entrants)

2. Voice of India: the lot represents all the regions of India.... there were 3 contestants from south as well out of each one is still there....

3. Eventhough everyone knew that Alka left for concerts.... his genious made sure to make a doubt in the heart of public by showing public apologies that yes there was something fishy between the judges too😉

4. Yes he gambled by starting his show 2 weeks late... he gambled with long auditions and short initial round.... he gambled with suspense thriller.... but if the activity in this section is anything to do... the viewers has only increased.... the thing remains... he has established a new brand (Voice of India)😉.... only thing he had to do is have blue ocean strategy instead of red oceans strategy.... he cd have a format tht would have made the competition irrelevent.... may be when i become his advisor for handsome fee i would tell him😉😆

Agreed Bhaskar 😛 I was just hoping against hope... I agree with the Gajendra part - I think he has become a bit too casual in the approach... The format keeps changing episode to episode, the voting for a week is totally nullified and neglected - it appears to be that they change rules and regulations as per their comfort - they are not answerable to the public or tthe channel😕

Indeed all the rules are mentioned on www.indya.com😊

Kabhi please.... lets not confuse the time factor here.😆 2005 and 2007 the scenario is different and so they cannot be compared. As you rightly said vote for a contestant depends on people's feeling as to how deserving the contesant is. But for that viewers need to know the contestant. And for that now they need to watch it.😉 Low TRP is proving the viewership is less.

So when did Star start taking decision on quality!! If that had been the case they would have shut those K-serials long back and allowed running of the good ones.😆 Star has always maintained that show us TRP and we will allow its running. Come now even a show like Kavyanjali that had too low budget than SVOI was closed by Star for showing low TRP. Again mind you Kavyanjali's TRP was very very high than SVOI.

There is big gamble in TRPs.... two shows are at the same time and hence the increase in TRP of one program is reducing the one of other.... which we have witnessed during last two weeks if u take close look at TRPs😉

But how does that remove the fact that SVOI has failed to increase the TRP. Fact is SVOI's TRP is almost steady proving the fact that it has a fixed viewers base and there's no increase. Same is with other shows too I agree but isn't it then true that there's no viewer transfer from one show to other.😉

Yes he was aware of the thing that he was starting everything afresh.... and he always made an effort to bring a brand out of Voice of India that can beat other shows... the brand says

1. Suron se samjhauta nahi: most of the singers selected are the best (without any wild card entrants)

So when did wild card entrant became the deciding factor on Suro se Samjhauta. He has done samjhauta yaar. Lot of wrong selections have been done. But yes lets wait and watch. How can we forget Gajji's wild card entry move for Diwakar.... Just to gain few extra bucks and TRP he has played that too. So don't be surprised to see the same happening again.

2. Voice of India: the lot represents all the regions of India.... there were 3 contestants from south as well out of each one is still there....

This was never there in his brand. If that had been the case then why didn't he go and take auditions in South India!!! Why was that region ignored especially when we know that is a region which has possibly the best talent in music in India.

3. Eventhough everyone knew that Alka left for concerts.... his genious made sure to make a doubt in the heart of public by showing public apologies that yes there was something fishy between the judges too😉

Now this is a lame excuse Kabhi.😆 You just need to talk to the aam junta. Wait wait... you will hear about this drama and its sarcastic view soon in Sas bahu aur sajish something that the whole nation watches. Everything will get clear to them. Gajji played a bad card here. Best would have been if he had honestly told the viewers the actual situation. He would not have ended up making a fool of himself then.

4. Yes he gambled by starting his show 2 weeks late... he gambled with long auditions and short initial round.... he gambled with suspense thriller.... but if the activity in this section is anything to do... the viewers has only increased.... the thing remains... he has established a new brand (Voice of India)😉.... only thing he had to do is have blue ocean strategy instead of red oceans strategy.... he cd have a format tht would have made the competition irrelevent.... may be when i become his advisor for handsome fee i would tell him😉😆

Oh WOW!!! So when did activity of a section decided the popularity or TRP of a show.😆 If that is the case then please just visit the Left Right Left section and see the activity there. Its buzzing. But the show has TRP even less than 2, way below SVOI.

Kabhi seriously I agree to that last line of yours. He needs proper advisors. How about now taking Ekta Kapoor as his advisor!!😉 As it is too much ficticious Drama's are being added something that Ekta is expert in doing. Gajji can give a thought to this option too now as all other have failed.
