Angad was only supposed to be on for a short term on MKAP but got extended do to popularity. I saw the opening episode of Pratha. Neither does it have the big bang opening nor does it have Mr. Behll and Takurs to hook the viewers. It seems like a show that will only appeal to a segment of the population. It does not have the same energy that MKAP, but Pratha will chug along for a while based on the opening. The male lead on that show looks like he was Shamu's long lost son. He and Mr. Behll are in different spheres altogether.
I am still convinced POPs will bring closure to this track soon and take it to the KN marriage track soon enough.
Personally the gulaal show is not the kind that would appeal to me at all. I will choose MKAP over it anyday.
