No denying that but ever heard of ekta being second on any channel
her serials are always at the top leaving apart reality shows and a stray jassi on sony
Secondly, KS is not a love story, it is a story of three sisters and their trials & tribulations...so there is no need and no scope for a "Hot" looking actor!
Then ekta has messed up her tried and tested formula
Thirdly, Actors are chosen as per the script and not vice versa and hence Ram Kapoor has been chosen for playing the role of a 40 year old Business Tycoon, simply because KS had no scope or role for a 21 year old cool dude strumming a guitar!
does anurag look 50 or mr bajaj look 70 by any stretch of imagination
ekta serials work bcos they are illogical
Fourthly, all the reviews that have come out for KS have been universally positive and that says a lot....because how much ever TRP's Ekta Kapoor's shows garner, she never gets positive reviews...
if the review is great then that ekta show is doomed
remember kkehna hai kuch mujhko or something like that
Fifth, it takes an average of 6 - 8 months for a show to catch on, KS has debuted on 16th Jan, its barely 3 months old.
agree on this
Sixth, KS is certainly a cut above the rest atleast in treatment if not in story...and it should remain this way...if a serial is good, TRP's follow, slow and steady! Astitva took ages to catch on, but when it did, it became the highest TRP grosser in the history of Zee TV!
Niche serials are good for the intelligent viewer but not from a TRP standpoint Since i am a big astitva/ajai sinha fan i know this that astitva was always an elite serial highly popular in big cities and educated families but was not a "TRP grosser" by any stretch of imagination TRPs only come if it appeals to housewives not otherwise
That's it from me!
