Again iam presenting a thread for telly talk discussion with reference to IPK and its actors not about an actors decisions about the show.Try to introspect.
I know some people only watch IPK on TV but still there exists a populace who really take TV more seriously than films
Always felt that India Forums website is the biggest testimony why TV rules over Cinema. Although its an overall entertainment website, majority of news that originate here are about television.The maximum number of Fans here discuss TV shows than movies.. In that context I want to focus why TV is really special these days than films.
ANTICIPATION OF FANS
Some people fear that when IPK ends in future will the career of BS in TV finish?. So better let him do Films.That is somehow a miscalculated thought.
Well I feel TV is much safer in that sense. And films are just an temporary extension.
While Some fans expect that like other SP heroes he should be associated with this show for the period as long till the show's potential permits. We cant deny the fact that IPKKND has a lot of potential ahead.Having a bad phase in between doesn't mean the show should be closed down by showing a proper conclusion. Since a TV show is a long venture its supposed to go through the hilly ride.Lately I saw the show sasural simar ka which was no where in competition in last 7-8 months has just occupied top 5 slot. That speaks itself that TRP slots keep on changing. SARUN has no major reasons to complain, they are doing the show fully concentrated on them. Khushi and Arnav are the best written characters. 4 lions have given them a role of a lifetime. Some phase might be bad but it will bounce back.
When a TV show runs for long years with the lead pair being intact, they form a very strong image in the TV market.
SAkshi tanwar from bade acche lagte hai has been with TV for a long time. She did kahani ghar ghar ki and played a granny also there. .Came back in a negative role in balika vadhu garnering acclaim for the role and finally Priya as bade acche lagte hai. She is a big star on TV. Never faced shortage of work. Same goes for Ram kapoor. From Nyay, Ghar ek mandir ( 2yrs) Kasam se (4 years) till now bade acche lagte hai.
Ram kapoor might have done sone supporting roles.But he didn't leave TV.
The thing is that they have holded TV tightly. They didn't do this coming- going syndrome from tv to films like aman verma, Rajeev. .Because TV gives a stable income and unlimited fame.
Once kareena said in India Today conclave held by TV today network - " films are definitely not the best option to earn money, there is so much of ups and downs, uncertainity compared to other fields , the difficulties in survival.You wake up one morning and discover so many things are changed"
In Tv still one gets chance to improvise in coming episodes.but in movies those 3 hrs of content once released cant be changed..verdict comes in first 3 days. Hit or Flop.
There is no balance in film industry- it was, it is and in future also it will be ruled by filmy families with reference to the bigger picture. But atleast in Tv industry a common guy like Gurmeet can try his luck in the industry , get fame and win a reality show too.
In an interview to Hindustan Times Ekta Kapoor narrates that- "I would any day choose TV over films any day as a producer because Film industry majorly runs on star system .But in TV we still have concepts that draws the audiences."
Actually we have khans, kapoors, bachchans, etc etc already in films..Already crowded and packed by many good looking people,perfect physique, bollywood dancing skills, QualityVoice pitching etc etc.
Tv audience needs a totally a star material for the small screen. Sobti, karan tacker, Kushal tandon, Gurmeet, Karan Singh Grover, Anas Rashid, Harshad Chopra..fill up that gap and make TV look larger. If all good looking Tv heroes go to films then Tv will be left barren.Obviously new people will come ahead, take their place . The new people will learn past mistakes from their seniors and will never go in that direction by leaving their claim to fame.
The objective is..why just actors?, even technicians, crew are more secure with TV shows as they run for long. After a movie is over crew member of the particular PH is left with no work unless a new movie rolls out from that PH.
Even if payment is less in TV , still its quite stable.
Film certainly has its own charm but I personally observe a lot of people like TV because of IPKKND and try to search around IPK kind of content, intense story in various shows they watch .There is a need for more good shows like IPK on television. I feel magic of Tv does rule over cinema at most occasions.
