Kiddies' tele fiesta
Come holidays and most kids are glued to telly screens 24x7. No doubt, this is the time when the TRPs of kids' shows shoot up. Swati Sharma finds out what's caught their fancy.
So you thought the saas-bahu brigade was still topping the TRP charts? Well, vying closely with the scheming vamps of these serials are the tele-serials for kids. No doubt, the number of exclusive programmes for children is very less. However, the ones that are on air are interesting enough to attract an audience.
The programmes catering to the kids are an interesting mish-mash of amusing serials and patriotic ones. While there are youngsters who like shows on great warriors from history, others have an incline towards reality and quiz shows. And so there has been a plethora of shows like Disney Hour, Dharti Ka Veer-Prithvi Raj Chauhan, Anupam Uncle, Family number 1, Left Right Left, Discovery and 24-hour channel dedicated to kids on Cartoon Network.
In a country of avid television watchers, these serials are turning out to be good money making machines for its producers also. Boasting of its high TRP (5.3) on weekends is 'Prithviraj' which is being watched by people of all the age groups. From the makers of popular serials like Vikram-Betal and Dada-Dadi ki kahani, this weekend soap has been in news for its high budget. "A few years back, we had worked on making a daily on king Prithvi Raj but it was not completed," informs Moti Sagar, the producer of the soap. Ask him as to why he choose Prihtvi from all warriors and he explains, "There is only one character in history who is worth making a serial and that is the great warrior Prithvi Raj Chauhan." The role is being played by Rajat Tokas, the young Tatya in Sai Baba. "We liked his act in Sai B and picked him for this also. After Prithvi will kill Bhimdev in the serial, the focus will turn to the famous love story of Prithviraj and Sanjogta," he discloses.
Tickling the funny bone are the comedy serials that are equally popular, feels14-year-old Vanya Vaidya. "I enjoy watching Baa Bahu and Baby as I can relate to the kids in the serial and the whole set up of a close knit family is also appealing," she adds. While kids look up to the macho characters like Rajeev Khandelwal of Left Right Left or Rajat Tokas, who is playing the role of Prithvi Raj Chauhan, as their idols, light roles like Gattu's in Baa Bahu and Baby is less aura-inspiring, yet entertaining.
"Making serials for kids is not a child's play," feels Arif Ali, creative director of UTV productions, "Prithvi Raj Chauhan is an interesting character. If Prithvi Raj would have been on air even half an hour late then it would not have been so successful." Ali is presently working on Hero serial on Hungama channel that has recently entered its fourth series of the serial. The serial is based on a child Joy, who is physically impaired and how he turns into a super hero.
Children have their own preferences in television viewing. Talent shows, enlightening shows such as Kaun Banega Crorepati and Cadbury's Bournvita Quiz contest and surprisingly horror shows are a few to which children are attracted like magnet. "I love watching quizes and reality shows as they are more realistic and I learn a lot," smiles Tushar Mehta, a resident of Sector 49, "I don't like serials as they are not practical and inspiring," quips this 13-year-old lad.
Based on an army school, popular serial Left Right Left has been successful in arousing patriotic feelings among its viewers. Smiles Sukesh Kotwani, head scriptwriter of the soap. "Left Right Left is successful and has a great fan following. There are around 28,000 members of Left Right Left community and this has really impressed me. The
serial was targeted on the young people of different age groups. However, not only the younger lot but even the older people have liked the serial." Ask him what is next in this soap and he says, "The serial is going to take an interesting turn as the scuffle between Captain Rajveer and his friend Captain Abhimanyu will be on air soon." Watch out guys!
