why do you guys think this show is so successful? With the variety of shows on tv of late, I think it is interesting to see which ones are most watched. i think there has been a major shift since ksbkbt. i have only seen a few epiaodes of pr.....i have been watching it for sushant!😉
but i saw that bidaai, pr, yeh rishta, cb are all based on the sanctity of marriage and to 1 person instead of 5 like some older shows ( especially balaji shows). There are vamps in these shows( not sure about PR b/c i just started watching and i try to only watch the manav/archana scenes😛) but they aren't given the same importance they used to. i am glad about that b/c some of them over exploited the vamps and ruined the show. I also think that the successful shows like bidaai, yeh rishta have been sticking to the original story. I hope PR does too! like if you look at kis desh.........it did badly when it veered from the sotry line but post leap it is more insync w/ the original story line and thus doing better.
I am also excited to see ekta making an appearance in PR!
What do you guys think?

Adding to the points that you have mentioned: This show is closer to reality - whether it is sets, clothes that the actors wear or the story itself. Like, when Varsha spoke her mind, when Rasika had insulted Sulochana by saying that she could not talk about Satish and Archana's rishta, as Archana was no match for him. Or, like today and tomorrow, when Vinod got to listen to the truth. Instead of, some scheming vamp with cacophonous background music listening by standing outside the door 😆😆😆. Also, the pace of the story - see how quickly the truth came out.

And, yh, definitely, most of the actors are good and have been given nicely itched characters, like Savita Prabhune - she is formidable. Yh..yh..the lead couple is good looking, but good looking people go only a small distance, later a story is required.

You know what now I am scared. Have seen some shows in past, with nice actors, characters and story - have loved them and have felt pain, when the story went down the drain .

Let's just hope that doesn't happen with this show. Hope ke Ektaji baksh de.

P.S. One more thing, it is a relief to not have to listen to characters talking about crores ki deal and all, and instead talking about bhindi costs Rs.65/kg in off season. 😆

^^ i totally agree, the show has more sense of realism.. everyday people can relate..
i mean how many of us cook wearing only our most sexy saris and costly jewels.?
in this show archana wears her maxis when she sleeps and when she cooks..
and plus, the situations are more relateable as well,m joint-families on a very tight budget, generation gaps and such!
i just hope that ekta keeps on going.
she's finally getting it right after such a long time (even with kis desh<3) and i hope she keeps at it
i dont wanna see more of the non-sense of 12 marriages to 7 different people, and such

you guys are definitely right! especially about the class thing. i think tellyland is leaving escapism and heading to realism which also reflects current economic situations. i have my fingers crossed that ekta doesn't ruin this one!

You know Ekta can really show a good show if she feels like it. I mean she HAS the potential to show a good show. Take Kis Desh as an example. Before, December the show was sooo good. Story, actors everything. After Prem's "death" things started to fall apart. Ever since December to the end of June, the show went down the drain. Why? Well...cause Ekta didn't care about the show anymore. She left the show to creatives that played around with the actors and our emotions.

Then, post leap the show has been doing very well. Good concept and everything. Its like the old Kis Desh again. Why? Cause Ekta is finally taking charge and caring for it. Everyone is loving the episodes now. All thanks to Ekta. Since, she is (currently) the brains behind this (cause I heard that she will focusing on the show).

Ekta didn't care for the show before, hence it went down the drain. Now that she is, the show will be back to its former glory. (Oh! And bigggest shocker its not dragging 😲 )

So, I think Ekta can only ruin a show IF she stops caring for it. Doesn't give as much importance as her other shows. But, it seems like that she really cares for PR. She's ecstatic about the TRPs. And possibly will be making an appearance on the show.

So if Ekta still cares about this show, gives as much importance as her other shows, then I have nothing to worry about.

yeah.......that is a really good point! I hope she focuses on all of her shows because she only has 5-6 on right now i think. I like most of them....... Kis desh, bandini, PR,KMH. I think her new crop of actors have really good expressions and acting skills too! Like sushant...I think his expressions and comic timing are impeccable in kis desh but he does a 180 in PR and his expression match manav's character perfectly too!

I agree to all the points....
There is a lot of reality and less of Vamps....I hope Ektaji doesn't bring in that element!
Every mother has a desire to get her duaghter married to a well educated and a good family! I can justify Sulochana's act!
Vaishali is not shown much but I hope Varsha doesn't turn into negative character and oppose the family and get out of the house like her friend said and stays in a hostel! Lets wait and watch.

Sorry to be a spoilsport. Its not Ekta's concept she has bought the rights from a tamil show and thats why it looks close to reality and not like her usual shows....

Since the show is based on reality without the non-sense, its doing well. Its something different to watch on tv.No heavy jewellery, no crores of rupees. Ekta hs stuck to the orginal idea of the Tamil show. She has given lot of thoughts in choosing actors playing the characters. Everybody looks perfect for the part.And its about real people in real situations.
