common guyz..at the most what will happen ?

...they will seperate ISHRA, which we all do not want to happen. We want them on one screen. Common our own life is not in our hands, so what can we do about a show which is so not in our hands...

Why change track?

When a soap runs for long, it is chiefly because people have fallen
in love with the characters of that show. Sure, the show starts off with
a certain premise but the storyline quickly takes it to a place where
it departs from that premise significantly. And because it is not
possible to predict, say 1,000 episodes, in the single concept that
started the show, it is the characters that bring in the continuity.
Consequently, it becomes the journey of that character through a variety
of situations that lead to interesting storylines.

The audience comprises two kinds of viewers - the ones who are still
watching and the lapsed viewers, who have dropped out. One of the
objectives of bringing in such twists is to bring back those lapsed
viewers.
"They know the
character, they know the storyline but somewhere they stopped watching
it. With a twist, there is a good possibility that the audiences who
were watching the show will come back."

Never-ending stories
Selling the story
What next?

Here are some sub-plots we dreamed up. How about a handsome husband turning out to be an alien, the illegitimate child of an inter-species
consummation? What if the young, sexy vamp proves to be 180 years old
and needs to drink blood to stay young? The docile housewife of the
show is actually a sexy, smart spy who knows kung fu?

After all it's all about ideas and imagination. Laugh at your own
peril - if the writer and the channel have their vision right, the plot
could add 1,000 more lives to an already powerful show.

A Note From the Editor

If you watch television serials, or read about them, it is hard not
to laugh at the desperate attempts made to prolong their natural life.
And that is what this week's cover story is all about: about the skilful
and not-so-clever machinations employed to keep the story moving.
Viewers who can see through this begin to curse the show, the producers,
the channel - and yet can't stop watching it.There is compelling
business logic in keeping a serial alive even when the signals say that
it is running out of steam. To appreciate the true glory of the Indian
television business, look closely at Hindi general entertainment
channels. At their heart lies the Hindi serial.
Several things make the serial attractive. One, it draws large audiences. Two, it gets them to the channel every day, month after month - and sometimes, year after year. Three, serials demand appointment viewing - every day, at the same time. Four, they provide a steady stream of revenue. Five, a hit serial is an immensely profitable property.
In that sense, nothing compares with the serial business on Indian television. Sports, reality shows and even films pale in front of the the serial when it comes to viewership.
If something seems so attractive, there has
to be a catch. In this case, it is the fact that it is extremely
difficult to create a popular serial - about as difficult as it is to
make a hit feature film. So, before they get that elusive success,
channels have to take many chances and lose a lot of money. When they do find the hit they have searched for so hard, they are reluctant to let
go of it - and hence the attempts at longevity through myriad twists and
turns. No wonder everyone involved watches the weekly ratings like a
hawk and makes changes in the plot whenever there is a marked drop in
viewership.
