People are saying that Sushaan and their chemistry isn't the only reason for SGP's success & it takes a full supporting cast, the Kashyap parivaar, good writing/directing etc but WHERE in the original post do I say that Sushaan is the only reason for its success?!
I took one aspect of the show, Sushaan & wanted to isolate why I feel they stand out as a couple in hindi serials & that they are one important part of why SGP is popular. Certain couples stand out, they elevate what is a good movie/show into a great experience. You can have great acting, directing, music, etc but having that sizzle/spark between the main couple make it a complete hit with viewers on all fronts.There is a reason why Sushaan won Garam Jodi at the Big TV awards, there is a reason why in most polls they come in amongst the top couples, why they are asked to perform dance sequences on other shows & awards (have you seen people dance that don't have that connection, its painful & awkward to see lol), its because people recognize that they have that special "something".
To those that think chemistry is over hyped, lovy dovy candy floss romance stuff, think about this. People love Shah Rukh no matter who he's with but whenever he was with Kajol, there was that on-screen connection that was undeniable. Let's go old school, Dharminder & Hema, Amitabh & Rekha, Govinda & Karisma, whenever they were together, the electricity and spark was evident to see and thats why those movies did well, all that is a result of CHEMISTRY.
Now of course I'm NOT comparing Sushaan to these couples but their
chemistry isn't always about romance either, its a characteristic that encompasses all types of scenes, when Sushaan argues, when they are being comedic or they are having sad or emotional scenes, any interactions they have with each other are elevated because of their connection and thats why they stand out.
I'm not talking about who's a better actor/actress either, in Jay and Ragz situation, "the WHOLE is greater than the sum of its parts"; together they have something unique. Do other shows have good couples, definitely but in my opinion there is that something special that makes Sushaan unique which I've talked about extensively in my original post.
The Kashyap Parivaar, Deepak, Sanjana, KK, etc. are all necessary for making SGP a good show but Sushaan is also a big part of that successs make it go from being a good show to a memorable & addicting show.
Just an observation, do you think it is a coincidence that since the show has put the focus more towards Sushaan in last few weeks that all of a sudden SGP jumped to number 6 in the TRP ratings, hmmm, interesting isn't it?
