What makes a soap get high TRP
1. Large families composed of the following
- one angry old man / old woman - check
- one loving father of the heroine/ mother of the hero - check
- a couple of random comic characters, with no contribution other than comic relief - check
- an evil relative, preferably a stepmom - check
- lots of emotional melodrama that makes no sense- check
- spouting dialogues of sanskar, left right and centre - sanskars that every one throws around, but no one except the hero/ heroine are expected to follow - check
- meaningless crisis situations, one after the other - - check
- Good acting - again, only from the leads, the rest - each one has one stock expression and one catch phrase - - check
- and of course the MOST IMPORTANT - logic ki vaat - - a big check
- I honestly expected better from an SLB show, this drivel is disappointing.
A good show is about overall appeal, about believable characters and situations
Just romance and lead chemistry is enough only for starters, it's the entire package that must be convincing
Njoy!!!
