Well.. tht was a really really sad piece of news ... but obviously an expected one, wat else can u expect from star plus, a channel that holds the record for crap stuff...

Well in my view, the reason why they are taking this show off air is bcoz it does not have the following important ingredients :
1. Over stretched "mysteries" like who added refined oil instead of pure ghee in a certain dish (kind of shown in "Saathiya", when i accidently stumbled upon one such episode)
2. A two month epic on "What is there in dadima's Sandookh? " (Courtesy "Saathiya" again. the so called No.1 show on our proud channel)
3. The show ppl have neither allowed the dead (aka Vasant) to return nor have they given him a plastic surgery which is mandatory as per the channel laws
4. One of the most significant reasons is that the protagonist in the show has not been allowed to shed enough tears to be able to gather enough sympathy from "the viewers" which has in turn affected the TRPs. Rather she has been shown as a "strong" woman. (How dare she????)
5. Another reason is that the storyline of gulaal has managed to stay on track whereas it is customary for indian shows to waver about in almost every direction once a female gets married and enters a particular house with months and months being dedicated to her sis-in-law, mom-in-law, aunt-in-law, bro-in-law, dadi-in-law etc etc and their petty stuff
6. Last but not the least, despite repeated efforts the CVs failed to bring around a mismatched marriage (read "Kesar-Talli") which is the official way of dragging a show on TV (by showing subsequent developments where they take ages to fall in love with almost anybdy once u r married to him/her or watever)
Well... tht was kind of weird post bt i really cant get over this piece of news... it will leave nothing to watch on TV.. this is the only daily soap tht i watch..😭

Completely agree with you about other India Serials but the one that really takes the cake, the worst of the lot is Saathiya. It was a migraine inducing show as far as I was concerned. My headaches disappeared when I stopped watching that senseless show. I still wonder why, and how many people seems to watch that crap while ignoring a really beautiful show like Gulaal.

LOL awesome postšŸ‘

Gulaal doesn't follow the standard crappy formula of soaps on TV...it actually has a story that it has consistently done justice to, stayed on track with...never dragged things just for the heck of it...every epi has some significance towards moving the story forward...99% of shows on Indian TV donot have that...and that is Gulaal's downfall...the audience doesn't WANT shows that make them THINK...that's too much work...it's better to watch nonsensical dragfests where the biggest issues are related to who can torture the oh so bechari bahu the most and how many liters of tears she can shed

The protagonist of this show...Gulaal...is too strong a woman to fit into the mould of usual TV bahus who are always acting like becharis.


But I agree with nneill...the timeslot also went against this show...they should have been given a different timeslot rather than this one.

nice post ! actually the only problem is sphere origin gave gulaal in the hands o butcher its sp ...if sphere origin had given bv too to sp then they would have shut it in 7-8 months these sp just needs crap show...i think sphere origin should have talked to colors for gulaal i m damm sure it would be no 1 show...as colors knows how to promote good show it is even promoting phulwa humari saas leela continously inspie having low trp and low popularity than gulaal...so next time if sphere origin comes with a beautiful show it only has to maintaing a long long distance from idiotic star plus...

Exactly. Unfortunately Gulaal doesn't shed tears at every given opportunity. The bitter truth is that the Indian audience prefers senseless shows and acting which can make you feel ashamed at times. They like seeing the main leads coming together, splitting up for the stupidest reasons and then coming back together again. They like seeing rich businessmen turn in to paupers overnight and then suddenly see them as the richest people on earth.

I'm talking rubbish but that's because all this just angers me to no limit.
