I guess tv audience has been habituated to watching daily soaps now... Otherwise there has been a few good finite shows on itv too.... Have u seen pow bandhi yuddh ke, dahleez, tamanna, everest etc?.... These were finite shows which aired on starplus... Unfortunately these shows didn't do well on trps... After that the channel stopped experimenting at all.... Sony tv usually makes good content too.... Yeh un dinon ki baat hai, patiala babes, yeh pyaar nahi toh kya hai were a few of them.... These shows didn't garner much trps but did well online.
Doc, Do you watch malayalam movies by any chance?... You mentioned dulquer salmaan as one of your favourites on another reply.
Word to your point on Zaroon and Kashaf...they were the perfect mismatch!🤩
Yes, you’re right about POW...that was one classy serial...actually didn’t even feel like one! Was more like content made for OTT!
Yes, you’re right about Sony....is the only channel that still continues to experiment somewhat....
Actually, my grouse with ITV is that nobody has the desire to drive excellence within the current “TRP” formula...”Imlie”, currently on air on SP, is a classic example...it had the potential of being a first on ITV...had everything going for it in terms of refreshing content...has persistently been topping the charts...but, sadly, has lost the plot...and, once again given into the cliched ways of (lack of) thought and intent!!
Anyway, don’t think that much will change...garbage in, garbage out will continue!
To your question on Malayalam cinema, I am a huge fan of it...would watch it as a child on DD, with subtitles and all...sadly, now I don’t...
Discovered Dulquer in Karwaan and loved him! Thereafter, looked him up further through his interviews....loved him even more!😀
I have been meaning to watch his film where he plays Gemini Ganesan, in which the girl got the National Award for the movie (“Mahanadi”, was it if I remember correctly) Do you know if it’s subtitled version is available?
