Expectations from a sony tv show and a colors show are different.What matters the most for a colors or star plus or zee tv show are trp ratings.Keeping this in mind bepannaah isn't the most successful show.With sony,online fandom is enough and beyhadh had that.Acting wise too,jennifer got way more appreciation as maya(Rightfully so IMO),there are many who refer to her as the best actress of ITV.
I don't think bepannaah's popularity is comparable(yet) to ipkknd which after 5-6 years of its closure manages to be in top 5 in the trp chart of a south american country(peru) when bepannaah couldn't manage such trps in india itself(except for that one initial week)
One can't measure the absolute success of show which aired at such gap. Because with this logic, KZK1 had TRP of 22 at one time & IPK in comparison had only 2.5-3. It was always less in comparison to other shows like Diya-Baati, Saathiya which were gaining double of it. But IPK1 gained international fame, but rest of the shows don't stand closer to that.
I have watched original run of IPK1 & BP both very diligently. Loved both shows immensely.
IPK1 in 2011-12 ran for 18 months complete (6 June 2011-30 Nov 2012). BP ran for 8.2 months only. IPK1 was more of romantic family drama. BP was less on that note. It was more of romantic thriller. The genres of two shows are completely different.
IPK1 aired on 8 PM for 18 months with no minute here & there. BP in 8 months saw some 10 time slot changes from 9, 9:10, 9:15, 9:20, 9:30, 10:30, 10:40, 10:45, 10:50.
Back then online presence of TV shows was not that much. Hotstar gained momentum after 2015. So, TV viewership of IPK1 on 8 PM slot was big since repeat telecasts were less & internet penetration was no where close to as it is now. Viewers of TV were more too.
BP ran simultaneously on TV, Voot & Jio Cinema. People no longer have to depend on TV for their shows, they can watch them anytime & anywhere as per their convenience. Internet penetration has almost tripled & become effective since IPK1. As long as show was on feasible time slot, people watched it on TV as well as online. But with 10:30 time slot, people began to watch it online. Voot was already established platform along with Jio Cinema. BP never faltered from online viewership. It has always been in top 5 most of the times.
Target audience of IPK1 & BP is almost the same but has distributed between TV & online over the years. IPK1 being watched by same audience on TV, BP being watched by same audience on TV as well as online.
Humsafar & Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Feriha aired in India after 4-5 years of their original ending & still became very popular here. The original run of the show in any country counts. In India, it was 2011-12, in other countries it will vary as per the dubbing. It became famous in Turkey in 2015. It is airing in Peru now & is famous there.
BP has just begun to go international. Foreign viewership it has gained is huge. In few years, it will also go dubbing in other languages to other countries. It is already ready to air in 2 countries now & already has a following in those countries.
So, as per shows of their respective ages, IPK1 & BP stand almost together with it's immediate popularity in India. Most of the audience who has watched IPK1 will easily say BP stood on the same level with the kind of popularity it gained among viewers in such short time. Both created same kind of rage with their leads. Raj Baddhan has been in this business for long & he himself admitted, I saw that kind of rage for a show last time during IPK1. No other show created such phenomenon like that. BP has content that will click with international audience way quickly just like Chinese, Korean & Turkish shows do. Romance still rules entertainment around the world in most of the places.
Online presence is the most significant difference between the times of IPK1 & BP.
