KZK and Rural Viewers - Page 7

See, entertainment and tastes are HIGHLY subjective. The fact that I watch KZK makes me laughing stock amongst my colleagues and friends alike. Still, no matter how much I hate it, I watch ITV shows.

Though my premise is not entertainment but I watch it for simply storytelling and communications perspective. Helps me understand human psyche and forum Baazi is also a part of it, so that I interact with n number of people.

Anyway, digressing from the topic, there’s a wonderful series on Netflix about How movies are made. I found it extremely interesting and do recommend it to everyone for understanding how entertainment is not only subjective but fragile and inconsistent. People’s likes and dislikes change over a period of time too.

Even human tastes change too. You have no idea how much I hated blockbuster shows when they were on air and then changed my mind watching in retrospection.

Anyway, coming back to the topic. Human mind is superbly complex and pleasure, entertainment is even more layered. Sometimes, I wonder what will be the fate of content that is churned out in future.

Anyway, thank you for having a sane discussion. Appreciated.

Dont bother yaa..the bone of contention is that rural plus urban audience connect to prerna bec they too are humiliated tattered battered shattered and whatever ...the same audience rejects a blackmail wedding ? 🤪 kuch bhi ! They dont wanna see a guy blackmailing a woman for marriage but they tune in to watch her humiliations, dubious marital status , she being kicked out in pregnancy and lame attempts to kill her and the baby ..bec it's romantic...ekta is showing blackmail shadi since kutumb days , n it worked well in all shows but execution was never this bad as it was here..

Who is watching where and for what reason shouldn't be discussed only as it's irrelevant..ektas target audience is housewives who have nothing better to do than watch these shows in free time and people like us who are so vella that we log in everyday for these stupid arguments ...nothing but killing time...n it's really difficult to figure out what actually works ..there is NO formula for success..kill your time and give credit and take away credit to whoever they feel like..what works and what doesnt work for itv and for that matter Bollywood also, will never be known...

There is a base with which every character is established , people have that connect to Anurag and Prerna , bcos the first set of 100+ episodes set the base for them. That is the root of their character. And yes, they have been degraded time and now, but people connect to them because of what they were shown to be to begin with.

I cannot say the same about Bajaj, there was no head , neither there was tail, the whole track was shown to be kuki centric which became ulta later on. How can people connect to his character without any understanding ?

That is the reason people can't watch blackmail shaadi but they are ready to watch other insane stuff. They just want to see how Anurag and Prerna face the kasautis keeping that connect alive for each other , nothing more , nothing less. That's why as others pointed out, Anurag and Prerna fighting positively against their kasautis work. New tracks which have not been part of previous season of kasauti works for this same reason, even though the new tracks are the same old ITV stunts.

Just wanted to put forth this point, not here for any more arguments 😊

Very well put Charu👍🏼 This show is watched by fandoms and housewives for whom it's become a habit to watch it because they were watching it right from the start. Yeh sab battered, bruised, abused wala connection toh bilkul nahi hai IMO. Heck, they don't even have the attachment to any onscreen couple as they watch this just as a piece of entertainment..that is our job😆

Funny ... How same viewers for whom this show has become a habit left watching it during Bajju track 😆..... may be they did not liked watching someone ...else buffoonery tabhi bhi thi aur Abhi bhi hain ...Bajju ke pehle bhi thi aur aage bhi hogi ....

Sorry jumping here guys but i found this interview of ekta Kapoor recently in which she explains her point of view of about what audience wants to see and why she thinks some things work and some things don't etc etc here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX-C4jRzxM4&t=623s

Do watch it if you want. I found it interesting and her thought process somehow seems true. Sorry this bit is off the topic but just wanted to share this link with you since its related to her point of view and what all thought process she puts when she decides etc.

No comments on rural and urban viewers as i am not very familiar with it or familiar with the system behind viewership too.

🤗👍🏼

Seriously..n bringing in rural vs urban audience preferences is pointless...we educated class of people who think highly of ourselves, we r the same people as them with same mindset with same values ..the crime rate isnt less here infact it must be higher ..crimes against women I am talking about ...we are more aware of our rights and this world that's it...

Imo this is more of a man vs woman thing.. a woman has to be shown touch me not types , after wedding if her ex tries to act coy with her , she is supposed to rant about her sindoor ms, shadi , husband and ask him to move on etc ..while a man eyeing his ex or any other woman is totally accepted ...the emotions of his wife dont matter..we dont see it as prohibited behaviour...if sona was not this vamp and anurag was married to her properly , and prerna wasnt his may be wife , then also the track would work fairly well as its working now..😆 haan there would be more supporters for sona and we would be discussing women empowerment everyday on this forum..

Ofcourse. Almost everyone upthread agrees that the show is watched by fandoms and housewives. So its obvious that the couple fandom stopped watching and that's why the numbers were less😊

They preferred AnuPre buffoonery (in your own words) over PreRish buffoonery, which is completely their choice and that choice needs to be respected.
