1. Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? (4 Lions Film/ Star Plus)
Going by the pre-release hints of makers of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?- an intense love hate saga cum romcom. The show was somewhat merely an experiment in bringing grey shaded script into Indian small screen. Also, it won't be inappropriate to say that the show was the consequence of 4 Lions Films and Star network's collaborated success with their previous venture Geet'. The story which started off with the clichd base' of Angry young man v/s happy-go-lucky-girl, however, gained tremendous popularity over the period with its well developed concept-script, spectacular enactment and excellent execution from technical team's end. The show got overwhelming critical acclaim from all over, meanwhile, became a record breaker after it overshadowed Balika Vadhu- the then TRPs ruler societal drama. Moreover, at international spectrum also, Iss Pyaar Ko.. has achieved never ever felt frenzy so far, which still continues as its' reach goes wider with redubbed versions on several languages. Iss Pyaar Ko.. the definite best tale of eternal love and romance ever made in Indian television makes it up to the top of our unexpected success-stories list.
