It has almost been 11 months and 6 days since SC has stared. As everyone knows , this franchise was initially hyped to be the first ever TV soap to be created & launched by the most 'Romantic and Beautiful Director' the Indian Cinema has ever seen , the one and only 'Sanjay Leela Bhansali' (SLB). Since his careers' inception , SLB has been know for his beautiful direction , heavy art work , massive sets and great romance and tragedy movies' director. Hence the whole and soul credit for SC goes to him , undoubtedly.
So for a TV Soap to start off in such a massive manner leads to great expectations among the crowd. Despite the great expectations , SC has done and is doing great job in entertaining crowd as well as at the TRP list.
Let us get into the points and factors which made all this possible. So here we go...
I - The Cast :
Gautam Rode - This 36 year old actor looks so young and fit that these two reasons have become a great plus points for him. He was previously known for his cameos in Bollywood movies , some other TV soaps and as Nach Baliye' host. He is hot , sexy and handsome. He essaying the character of Saras is just unmatchable to anyone , OUTCLASS. His acting is versatile and his comic timing is awesome. The way he moulded himself right from the beginning is great. From being a Young Business Tycoon into a Naughty Romantic Lover Boy. He at times looks just like Aamir Khan , in his apparel and in his gestures too.
Tag Line - Perfect In All Aspects. 😎
Jennifer Winget - This 28 year old actress is one of the most gorgeous and stunning actresses in the TV Industry which is obviously a plus point. She was known for her previous TV soaps. The way she essays Kumud's character is really commendable. She plays as a gullible child , a responsible kid , a teacher , a faithful wife and the most caring lover. Her acting , especially in emotional scenes , is AWESOME.
Tag Line - Sexy Looking Outstanding Actress. ☺️
Anshul Trivedi - This 26 year old hunk is known for his previous roles as a villain. He essays the role of Pramaad with so much ease that it looks very natural , which is his major plus point. He looks like Jr. Bachchan at times and that's a plus point as well.
Tag Line - The Humongous Villian. 😉
These three Actor's have made a great contribution to SC - In It's Making and Success.
The rest of the cast did their job fairly well. Note worthy performances were of Yatin Karyekar , Shiny Doshi , Ragini Shah , Varun Kapoor, Vinita Joshi , Monica Bedi and Chetan Pandit.
II - The Directional Department :
The ship SC started its sail in a remarkable way with the initials given by SLB. Later the whole burden of sailing the ship went on to the Creative-Heads and the Directors. The directors dept. did do a pretty good job but couldn't hold it up for long. They kept the Endeavourness and Charm of the franchise well but had to fumble at many places and went through many tough times too. The CV's and the screenplay writers had struggled at times to take the ship forward. They struggled during time when they scored low TRP's and as an effect had pressure from the Star Plus side. But as episodes passed by , the CV's tried to make the plot as interesting as possible. Characterization of the leads slowly changed , a lot of twists and turns were incorporated and finally reached the actual place where the "Mukammal Mohobbath Ki Adhoori Dastaan... Hogi Poori". The interesting ths is that ths ship has five Captains , and fortunately their team work and co-operation has led the ship to it's destination in a completely safe manner. Congratulations!

III - The Cinematography Department :
Deepak Pandey and Arjun Rao are the two people behind the view-finder of the camera who work hard for recording the visuals of our beloved show. They have been creative , innovative and colorful in each and every frame of the show. The lightning and all other accessory management was just awesome. All the workers who worked in this department really had a significant part to play for SC- In It's Making and Success.
Punch Line - Colorful Extravaganza. 👏
IV - The Art Department :
The toughest and the most challenging part for any show and especially for this one because of many reasons from which the first and the foremost one is that it's an SLB creation'. Huge massive sets , taking care of each and every particulars. Such a huge job was handled really well by all the technicians who worked under this department.
Punch Line - Top Notch. 😃
V - The Audio Department :
They have been a great asset to this show right form the beginning. We (esp me) are great fans to your BGM and the title song as well.
Punch Line - Awesome , right from the start.
VI - The Costume Department :
To show something or someone beautiful over a screen is not an easy task. But the people who worked under this department have pulled off the work well. The costumes are designed in such a way that they do not lose the Gujarati' touch , are dignified but yet beautiful.
Punch Line - An eye feast. 😉
So , these are the major factors and reasons why SC came to this stage and has been running successfully till date.
Now , if we discuss of the Fan Following of SC and it's lead pair , they have unmatchable fan base , really massive. Not only India , but this show has fans from all over the world too. It''s the only Indian Soap that is aired simultaneously on Star Plus as well as on DD National , which makes SC reach even more over rural places in India.
