2013 Top 10 Shows on Hindi GECs Rival site

2013' is coming to an end and it
has been a year of highs and lows
for the General Entertainment
Channels (GECs).
A lot of shows saw major setback -
Punar Vivah-Ek Nayi Umeed,
Khoobsurat, Amrit Manthan, Parichay
- with them going off-air in a jiffy
while there have been others which
have ruled the roost at the ratings
front.




Balika Vadhu (Sphere Origins): .
This 1000 plus episodes Colors serial
went on air when the television
space was filled with saas-bahu
sagas. It managed to break the ice
then and four years from there on it
has still managed to maintain its
niche amongst the masses. Balika is
definitely not the number one show
on Hindi GEC as far as the charts are
concerned but, its art of storytelling
is still as fresh as it was back then.
Its biggest strength is its star cast
that understands this show in and
out and also manages to strike the
right cord with its audiences.
In fact 2013' was full of challenges
with the show's lead Pratyusha
Banerjee moving out and Toral
Rasputra being roped in as the new
Anandi which, did give this project a
jolt. But, its writers managed to get
it back on track. There was another
tough moment when Sriti Jha better
known as Ganga decided to quit but
the team again managed to balance
this out by roping in Sargun Mehta.
A battle won without challenges is
not victory but Balikahas emerged as
a victorious show thus, it deserves to
be in our list of top ten shows.


CID (Fireworks Productions): .
Every kid in this country has known
three faces on Hindi GEC pretty well.
They are - ACP Pradhyuman (Shivaji
Satam), Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava)
and Daya (Dayanand Shetty). These
three have become larger than life
characters in the past 16 years due
to their stint in Sony Entertainment
Television's show CID.
Yes! It is remarkable and the credit
goes to its characters and the
creative team. They have been
churning out crime stories one after
the other with ACP telling Daya -
Daya Darwaza tod do! in every
episode.
We also cannot ignore the fact that
when most of the fiction shows have
failed to make their mark on Sony,
CID has been its driving force for a
long time now.


Comedy Nights with Kapil (K9/SOL
Productions): . This one is definitely
a special show as it managed to sky
rocket its popularity in a quick time.
And the credit of its success
completely goes to the host of the
show Kapil Sharma. He is the man
who taught the nation to laugh on
silly jokes and make the comic genre
work for a channel like Colors which
was known for making social reform
shows.
Today every star wants to be a part
of Comedy Nights With Kapil . The
best example is of SRK coming on
this show not once but twice as he
was so much in awe of Kapil.
The project also had its share of off
screen moments with its set catching
fire and Sunil Grover (Gutthi) opting
out of the project. But, in spite of
all the highs and lows it has
managed to maintain its popularity.
Akhir haar Kar bhi jeetne wale ko
baazigar kehte hai! Way to go Kapil!!!


Diya Aur Baati Hum (Shashi Sumeet
Mittal Productions Pvt. Ltd): . This
show has been topping the TVT
charts for almost two years now
thus, it definitely deserves to be
here.
It started with the story of a simple
girl Sandhya (Deepika Singh) who
wanted to become an IPS officer but
ended up getting married to a cook
(halwai). But, she managed to get
her soul mate in him. Suraj (Anas
Rashid) is someone who supports
her with her dreams. However, there
have been a lot of roadblocks on her
way. Probably the roadblocks make
the show intriguing and captivating.


Jodha Akbar (Balaji Telefilms): .
Whoever thought that a historical
show could get such love and
appreciation on a Hindi GEC? But,
Zee TV's Jodha Akbar has managed
to be a wonder show. It started
slowly and steadily and then went
on to take a leap. Today it stands
second on the TVT charts with a
huge fan following. And we wouldn't
be surprised if it becomes the
number one show on Hindi GEC as
this historical saga is moving at a
great pace.


Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha
Pyaara Pyaara (Rajshri
Productions): . This Star Plus show
has all the ingredients that a
Rajshri project must have. There are
no out-and-out negative characters
neither are there any fight scenes
but love, anxiety, sadness and
jealousy. This mixture seems to have
worked for the show as its being
liked by one and all. In fact the cute
and adorable pairing of Disha
Parmar and Nakuul Mehta as the
lead pair Aditya and Pankhuri too
has worked here. This sweet show is
climbing the ladder of success slowly
and steadily but looking at its 2013
graph we believe it deserves to be in
our list of top shows.


Qubool Hai (4 Lions Films): . Gul
Khan's (Producer Qubool Hai ) effort
to present a unique love story on
Hindi GEC actually worked.
There is no denying the fact that its
lead Karan Singh Grover managed to
pull the audiences' interest courtesy
his huge fan following. But, then it
was the story that kept them glued
to it. The creative team's effort to
create a character like Zoya (being
played by Surbhi Jyoti) worked well
for the serial.
So, basically the show is a mix of
magical ingredients that managed to
cast a magical spell on the viewers.


Hum Ne Li Hai ... Shapath
(Fireworks Productions): . This
crime based show started with the
usual cops fighting the goons plot
which of course did not get it
anywhere on the TVT charts. But
soon the creative team came up with
the idea of super villians and turned
this run of the mill' show into sci-fi
drama, basically a complete
entertainer for the kids. And it did
work! In fact it also went on to push
Life OK's top most show Devon Ke
Dev... Mahadev in the second place.


Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah
(Neela Telefilms): . How many of our
GEC shows have a Gujarati, Marathi,
Punjabi and a South Indian family
staying together in the same
society? Well none as most of the
stories revolve between two families
of the same cast but this family
entertainer - rib tickling drama has
all in it. It manages to stand out of
the crowd in the number race.


Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
(Director's Kut): . This family drama
is probably the simplest show that
you'd come across in GECs but it
managed to carve its place in the
hearts of the audiences over these
years.
Akshara (Hina Khan) and Natik
(Karan Mehra) are the idol pair on
Indian television and this show will
continue doing well.


This was our list of top ten shows
but, there are a few more serials
that have managed to prove their
mettle in the year - 2013.
The list is here...

Zee TV's Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke
- . It managed to win hearts of the
masses, not just the younger but
also the older lot of our country.
Next is Crime Patrol . which is a very
big property for Sony today. It was
basically the trend setter for real life
crime stories being aired in fiction.
Furthermore, we have two love
stories on our list which are Colors'
Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon .
and Sony's Jee Le Zara. While
Madhubala has already made its
place in the hearts of its audiences
Jee Le Zara is warming up slowly and
steadily.
This was our list of top ten shows on
Hindi GEC..
