The data is from the period 2001 - 2003 ie it covered the early period of the Balaji soap era (from when things were actually pretty nice to just the beginning of the insanity).

So the real question is: are the conclusions reached in this article still relevant today? Think about what Kyunki was like back in 2001-2003 and what it became in the years since. 🤔

good point, i dont know. i think the conclusions are still relevant today, 5 years is that THAT much time. the spread of tv and tvs content still must have a impact.
