1- Do not think your viewers are dumb and stupid

Exploration: They are smart, intelligent, logical, knowledgeable


2. Do not underestimate your viewers and their power of rationale and objective

Exploration: They know when you go wrong


3. Do not take your viewers for granted

Exploration: Understand when they ask you for better storytelling


4. Do not get into an overdrive over sensationalism

Exploration: Understand that sometimes your viewers could go overboard in their demands


5. Do not fall prey to viewers demands

Exploration: Do not be manipulated and start fulfilling every whim and fancy of your viewers


6. Do not just fall prey to thinking you can just titillate the senses

Exploration: That is only a temporary high for SOME viewers, most viewers will know your game and abandon you


7. Do not take every of the written things seriously from your viewers

Exploration: Learn to sift information and sieve it to arrive at the proper information. Information mapping is essential


8. Do not forget story telling

Exploration: The only reason people stick on to something for long is if you are a good storyteller like your grandma


9. Do not get carried away by praise

Exploration: Praise is momentary while criticism is good for groW*H


10 Do not repeat yourself

Exploration: We all have LONG memories and our brain does not like rewind mode much.


READERS: Please add your own commandments

Bravo Bri! I hope they read and internalize these!

The show seems to be in reboot mode for the last month or so..repetitive scenes, dialogues and just plain lazy writing when it comes to the screen play.

They just skim the surface of serious issues and move on..without ever exploring any theme or track in the depth that it deserves.

The show is a love story- but every love story has a context and setting- which they have ignored to the point that now it has almost become tangential!

11. Do not drop coconuts on unsuspecting viewers

Viewers may talk like nuts but they do not like baseless characters dropped on them.

Excellent
12. Remember your fisrt promo when the show was not even aired.
U may have short term memory but some viwers were really attracted to that promo What extra ordinary acts Geet did that every grl wants to b like her. After 8 moths u gave us the answer & that is she ran away frm home & win a man's heart who use to avoid women & taught him live life. mission accomplished I guess.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
13. Dont make ur hero as supreme as God.
Some will fantasize & some will get boredπŸ˜•πŸ˜•
14. Dont give hi hope to the audience with articles.
U will goof up ur own show & ur own viwers will let u downπŸ˜•πŸ˜•πŸ˜•

13. Do not take your viewers tolerance and forgiveness for granted.

They have an expiry date.

14. Do not think that a few romantic highs will make up for unending creative lows

The viewers are not always suckers for romance. Kuch Kadak kahani bhi chahiye.

15. Do not think a string of moments make an episode/episodes.

They don't....they are only momentary and have no purpose in the long run.

16. Do not forget the story is the king....

Baki sab timepass.
