not eveyone watches a tv show for jodis. they are a major factor fully agreed.
but story is also very important.
a show with verypopular actors but bad story cannot survive.
earlier ut had a concept. one thakur girl and other servant's girl.
their friendship their love-hate relationship and of course the concept of alms/uttaran.
then came veer. and veer-iccha-tappu story generated gr8 interest.
this was a new refreshing concept which was liked by viewers so trps were very high and this was no 2 show after bv in 2009-10.
later on all crap things started slowly trps fell.
look at the trp trend.
2009 it was 4-5
2010 also 4-5
2011 3-4
2012 2.5-3
2013 - 2-2.5
and 2014 below 2.
it shows ultimately people get bored and every show has to end one day.
and ofcourse crap storyline incompatible jodis are contributing factors.
but the major factor is that there's nothing left in the show which can excite viewers no matter which jodi is shown. it has lost its charm long back.
I will surely differ on this
balika badhu started the same time
it has completed more than five years and still going strong
yeh rishta in star is running more than five years
still it is in top ten
pabitra rishta is around six years old if I am not mistaken
still it is getting rev acceptance
another show sathiya (I think someone like gopi bahu in the show, if I am not mistaken)
is running even more than kuttaran
despite longer shelf life why all these shows are going strong?
one, because they are making tracks for viewers, not for actors
in this show, criminal akash baba says, I will be only the lead,
no negative roles for me, and the CVs are compelled to toe his line
by making a one-liner that somebody else had committed murder
there are countless instances which proves that kuttaran CVs are making
the show for themselves or for actors, certainly not for viewers
second, unlike kuttaran makers who are overly obsessive towards
marriage, divorce, revenge and no thinking beyond these three words
other shows offer much more storyline, more plots
not only marriage & divorce on demand (marriage & divorce in flat 15 days)
third, I have not heard any other show which is so much infatuated by
criminals and always show criminals have their way at the cost of
positive characters...
so no wonder, people, stupid viewers rather have
stopped recognizing themselves with the show and dumped it...
while other shows of the same time period are going great...
