I have been saying this for over a decade that Indian TV have to change their pattern of making TV-shows. Continuously shooting for years is not good for the show and for the team. They should look into how Hollywood series work (seasons) or make finite shows. Let the makers tell their story and end it when they are done. Reporters on Sony TV is the best example. They knew how long it's gonna run and they had written every episode from start to end (before they started to shoot) - Sony didn't care much about TRP. Although the show got an extension as it was doing well. But the team only extended few weeks - and they didn't wanted to ruin the story. The makers needs to have a vision and the channels need to give the shows the freedom to tell their story in their way and not based on TRP. This can only work if their change the pattern of iTV.
Reporters was the remake of the original tv series newsroom, so they had to do it the way it was done n the original series, for prisoners of war and other Kya Kasoor Amaal ka and Dil Sambhal Jaa Zara they did the same as those were finite series in their original form. but when it comes to any original India show, they never ever do it. they keep dragging it till the very end the audience itself doesn't give up.
I just want original Indian tv shows to also have the guts to do the same. in web series, we do that all the time. tvf launched pitcher in 2015 and still, they didn't come up with season two as they know for the story is way way more important than just pleasing the audience demand for the next season. they will come back once they have a better story than what they have already shown. this kind of story-driven attitude is required in the Indian tv industry if they want to really survive.
