For any daily TV soap, sustaining audience interest for long post covid times isn't easy. Attention span of educated Indian audiences has come down plus so many available visual entertainment options recently in different platforms with easy data/internet access. 😳 So patiently waiting for next day episode, watching episode daily, pondering over it, discussing / deliberating comes with a different piece of interest, hence expectations mismatch & annoyance does happen in daily soap viewers.
This forum page started when KA started telecast on Sony in Dec 2022, there were many more enthusiastic & active members till KA was about 100-120 episodes here. Some came in as its Turkish show remake, some just by watching promos, some after word of mouth that execution is more relatable than current run of the mill cringe plots in Hindi serials on other GECs, some by social media or forum activity around KA & some due to performance of the cast..👍🏼 Most of the initial fans of this show are not much active online last couple months, or are now watching show only randomly.
So its obvious KA writers/directors/makers some how couldn't maintain that euphoria or gripping story telling, angst between key characters for long; even office dynamics & motherly bonds that hooked the initial set of audiences.😛 Too much parenting jargons with Viaan, forced family dramas, over mature & unconvincing adult acts/talks of 8 year old school kid shown regularly, Seema-Teji-Viraj angle climax not handled in a neutral manner,🤓 Viaan's sharp, dynamic, no nonsense CEO characterization going overturn, are also few key reasons that dispersed some initial fans.😔
KA is still watched by some daily, because its somewhat better than other daily soaps that are currently on air, simple. Not necessarily for suspense, anticipation, unpredictable twists, engaging story plots & turns.
So those who binge watched KA online recently like 100 or 170 episodes at one go quickly just in span of few days have different views & fresh memories than those who patiently followed KA daily for 6-8 months. Its just expectations, absorption's, memories & perceptions are not same.
