But this time, it seems to be PERMANENT.
All of Colors' shows have stupid to the point of being irrelevant storylines.
The cheap trp tactics of the channel to gain ratings like bride swaps and ML torturing the FL for his love towards her have been wearing off day by day.
Also, from Day 1 of this Channel, all the shows on this channel have a same theme.
Sometimes it's kid leads, some it's social issues, sometimes it's 2 female leads(preferably 2 sisters fighting against each other).
In fact, Colors was recently dissed in the social media for turning their channel into 'Andhvishwas' Channel for showing a number of supernatural shows .
And the new Animal Planet for introducing animal leads in many of their shows.
Well, all the shows of Star Plus are Saas Bahu, but their stories are different enough to not categorize the channel into categories like we can do for Colors.
And not just the similar type of serials, even the twists and tracks are similar.
Every Colors show has some specific twists like the aforementioned bride swap that HAPPENS in each and every show of the channel.
I know every channel should've their own signature style reflecting in their shows, but Colors have gone too far
All of their shows may ultimately have different storylines.But when you watch all of them in a stretch, it seems like the same serial with just a different outdoor set(indoor sets are all same) and a different cast when the plot twists and the pattern of the main characters are exactly the same as seen from the POV of a casual viewer who don't pay much attention to the story and/or not watching the show from the start.
Since in daily soaps, main concepts are lost pretty quickly, it's the characters and plot twists that help to grip the trp audience.
And when all the shows of a channel has 2 female leads getting swapped with each other at their double wedding, then people won't stay sticked to the channel to watch all the shows which are all same from the peripheral angle
They don't have the time to rack their brain on what is the difference between Udaan and Ek Shringaar Swabhimaan.
Also nowadays many of the FLs of Colors TV are hell bent on taking revenge on their sasurals.Too much aggression isn't good for your health.😆
Colors Tv needs a serious revamp and get rid of all the bride swapping drama and double female leads serials.
DSDT's slot swapping with Kasam would make worse for its future prospects
First of all, DSDT's lead in show Swabhimaan is a 2 female lead show
2nd, there is the infamous Ishqbaaz that people like grandmother can't get off even though it's shitty to even tolerate for 10 minutes, because the other alternatives are well...worse
3rd, DSDT had less competition in the 10:30pm.
But in 10 pm, apart from Ishqbaaz, there is this show called Woh Apna Sa.
Woh Apna Sa also has nearly the same story with 2 female leads and confused married man in the between, just replace surrogate motherhood with stepmotherhood.
In fact in that show too, the main FL of the show is a positive character who is actually the 3rd wheel in between the married couple.
But the shades of the characters are a little more defined and 1 of the FLs(the original wife) is clearly negative from day 1.
Kasam is already in the recycling bin, and DSDT will soon go there if they don't decide the intentions of Teni.
One moment, it's Teni-Aman, the other moment, it's Teni-Parth.
It's better to make Teni and Aman a couple because if they make Parth and her a couple, then it might backfire on the makers.
Because Shorvari is a positive character and her jodi with Parth has been accepted nicely also plus they are MARRIED.
People won't accept the forcing of Parth-Teni couple down their throats even if Jasmine and Siddharth have a good chemistry because Parth is a happily married guy.
Cvs will have to make Teni negative character for the sake of trps.
And even if this track helps to bring back trps for the show, it'll be a moral loss for the makers as they failed to highlight the exact social issue they wanted to talk about through this daily soap.


@bold, I beg to differ here. In its golden time, Colors was a revolutionary channel and has given some really path breaking shows like Balika Vadhu, Uttaran, Lado, Na Bole Tum among others, which were a breathe of fresh air and different from usual saas bahu sagas. (And that is the reason I can't really hate Colors despite the pathetic quality of their current shows 😆)


It is only in last 3-4 years, more after starting the supernatural trends, their content has gone down drain. Still, I find their shows better than most of the SP or Zee shows.. They at least try to highlight social issues.. Its a different story that they are never handled properly, but for me it is still better than watching a plain love story or family drama. But ofcourse, its my personal preference, no offences intended. And no channel makes a show with different or relatable content these days, only exception is Sony to some extent.

The entertainment channels and viewers are responsible for the steady degradation in the quality of hindi shows. The aspiration to garner maximum trp and solicit wide range of viewers support, is propelling the cvs to undergo changes in story line from the originally conceived ones. Viewers choice can't get absolved of reason behind the mushrooming of idiosyncratic inanimate shows. Had the said shows failed to attract viewers attention, the makers wouldn't have thought of putting their precious money on such superficial concepts. However, fact is such shows are the top runners in the rating chart and the meaningful sincere shows are left out and meet their early end due to lack of viewership.
Dsdt is far better than many shows which are running since last so many years, showcasing irrelevant joint family saga. Reality is far from what is being depicted in the said shows. In present times, even a bachelor son or daughter prefers to stay away from his family, though living in the same city, for their own useful and genuine purposes to become self reliant. . On the contrary, tv shows incorporate a family consisting of variety of blood relations living under one roof. Probably this help the makers to continue to run the show for long by dealing with issues of one member followed by next.
After continuing with its build ups for two consecutive weeks, finally Teni's character got repulsed from further advancing towards Parth. We could get back the resolute Shourvari, who would not like to part away with her husband's love notwithstanding her concerns for the baby. Aman was introduced with an idea to pair him with Teni. The story will conclude with two pairs. The writers have thought of developing the show in a triangular form, to create sensational twists without examining whether it would fare well or not. Observing the growing dissatisfaction it appears the writers are attempting for some correction.
