Anu, dear, you in the KYM forum??? 😲 Stalking me or what??? 😆 Haha but am so glad to see you here, I can always count on you to ditto everything I say!!! 😆 And I don't know why but I'm not surprised....Perfectly said, Sonia! *clicks Agree button*😆....Agree with each and every word! Especially Kekta being unable to handle multi-cast series/characters Yaar DMG and MJHT manage multi-cast series much better than K shows, and thats saying a lot 😆....and getting too caught up in rehashing the same nonsense over and over again....her characters never seem to mature or grow over time😕 Exactly... It gets hella boring after a while....they are stagnant and at the same level even after generation leaps and reaching 80+ years in age! How is that possible??😕😆 My mom wants to know te 60+ grandmother manage to look so young!!! 😆.....Like you said, this is where Bidaai and BV score huge points since they are able to manage multi-character storylines in a very entertaining way....something I haven't seen on TV in quite a while! Yep, though am not a fan of Bidaai, they do seem to manage multi-character storylines pretty well, especially with how they alternate focus between the two leads respectively.. I never feel another couple is stealing the screen-time of someone else... But not only Bidaai and BV, there are so many American shows which have a huge ensemble of actors and yet they manage it so well.. Most, if not all, K soaps fail in comparison!!!

I wouldn't really ever write off Kekta though cuz the woman does have smarts....and the creativity as well....it's just all gotten lost in the ego and the business aspect of her empire....she needs to go back to the drawing board and try to remember how she first created the iconic characters and stories that laster 5-8 years on TV....I think she is a very sharp woman and does indeed have the capability to re-invent herself.....it all depends on when she realizes that she NEEDS to re-invent herself....Re-inventing is NOT making a saas-bahu version of Mahabharat, Ekta!😆 YES, Exactly... I can understand Kyunki, but Kasautii & Kahaani haven't been going on for 8 years, have they and they've STILL been shut-down??? You know, I honestly think that for the past one year... Ekta is not carrying Star Plus... BUT Star Plus has been carrying Ekta... Otherwise how does it explain the fact that her other K shows on other channels, not doing well??? I mean if they were so great in quality, they would have surely had a breakthrough, just like BV made Colors one of the top channels, since it was such an exceptional show, and just like Kyunki had a breakthrough 8 years ago. Only Kis desh is doing well now.
To me this clearly indicates, slowly the quality of her serials are fading away, and Ekta is too big-headed to acknowledge it. This is why, I hope she does look back @ her Kyunki, Kahaani and Kasautii, KTH back when she began them, and understand why those serials worked and were so popular... and why not the current serials she has been churning out on TV and what exactly made the difference and then work on it ... Because she does have that capability, I just think she has lost touch with what exactly made her serials soooo popular!!! 😊

LOL Stalking??! You're giving yourself too much importance, Sonia!😛😆....I told you I'm floating around in most forums silenty yaar!😉....happened to chance over this post and your response, so replied!😛....ROFL@ DMG and MJHT managing their casts better😆.....well I don't really think DMG managed their cast well.....it's mainly an AR kathaa in that show and the rest are sidekicks😆....MJHT toh time will tell......but BV and Bidaai deffo manage their casts much better no doubt.
btw, tell me why did you say you'll comment after 10 years on the Haule Haule VM???😕😆

Sumu...then there will a huge case against ekta from the Star...this is considered star's intellectual property as they paid for her to produce it...she can't take it and put it in her own channel that easily.... Just answering from a business perspective...as our company just went thru this with one of our clients...

I agree....though if anyone can find a way around this...I think Ekta can!
Starting her own channel will require a lot of capital....which in these times of economic downturn....is going to be difficult to raise....unless she already has investors lined up...but these can always back out and leave her high and dry. Her best bet is to re-invent the serials and sell them to other channels like 9X or NDTV Imagine.
And.....Legal system and copyright laws in India are different from US or western world and still in their infancy......it just depends on the original and subsequent contract/s and terms of agreement with Star Plus. There must be a reason why there are rumors as to why she thinks she can bring Kyunki to 9X.
