Discussion Thread for 23rd-27th January - Page 18

@cleos - I'm hoping that the Indian audience would appreciate this track more than the last few months (everybody loves a love story, I hope???) . I realise that the international viewers support BBAT more than the Indian - and I have been pointing this out to Zee in all my correspondence, especially that the international audience have no part in the TRP ratings. Also that Zee should give more consideration to its international viewers.

@ Indi

The CV'S must allow Guddu and Runjhun to become intimate immediately for this occur. Presently too much time is being wasted!

Amritak, we don't need all of India's support! We did it on our own once and were successful why not make another attempt and be successful again!

I like your positive attitude!! We have nothing to lose - no harm in trying!!! Even if we don't succeed, at least we would have tried and not just given up! Remember, it's not over until the fat lady sings!!!

One of Bhagonwali's weaknessess is that there is the absence of children playing a central role in this soap as opposed to the other shows. The more children a serial has the wider the audience

@Keshawn

Agreed keshawn! In order to attract wider diverse audiences, children ought to playing a pivotal role especially when the stakes are high among other serial, therefore Guddu and Runjhun should hasten up, get intimate and reproduce Laddoo and Jhunjun

@Cleos

@keshawn - There is a difference in taste between the Indian and Int'l viewers - noticed that the Indian audience prefer those shows with children, patriotism, religion (and rightly so) and saas bahus type, while the int'l viewers go for the love and romance - shows a little more daring and more in tune with the western world. I suppose it's each to its own!! But if it's children we need for BBAT to gain Indian viewers, we should have no problem. We have been begging for Laddoo and Jhunjun - and that's no problem for R&G - especially for G. We already have Mahadevi's daughter.

However, Surish did mention that the language of BBAT is not widely understood in India (or something to that effect). So maybe that's another reason for the lack of an Indian audience.

You are absolutely right about that Indi! Therefore we have to make do with what we have, continue to fight that waging battle against Zee and pray without ceasing. However Bhagonwali's CV'S ought to also please the Indian audience simultaneously by making provisions for them if they want a drastic increase in TRP"S for their show to remain on air.

Agreed - the ball is also in the CVs' court! Being Indian, they should have realised this a long time ago! Makes one think that these CVs were bent on destroying their own creation!
