don't makers have confidence in their own product? link updated

As a fans we are emotionally attached but as a makers they are more than emotionally they are attached financially. For us its show but for them this is product which they introduce in market and working on them for long term life in tv market. Trp is their return

Buddy tweet this tagging ekta, taklu and other actors of yhm... So that they will know...

CVS r TRPs bhukkad...They r running back of TRPS...Not thinking about the viewers...

This is a perfect post with probably the key question plaguing many of our minds! The makers didn't even bother showing our YHM to the 7:30 audience. They dove right into constant drama with no light moments.

YHM used to be about conflict & drama, but good would always win. We would see a focus on small moments in different relationships, but now it's a mess. Once in a few episodes they will show is a meaningful scene with relatable emotions, like before.

It's a disappointment to see how much they have compromised the characters & storytelling method to fit the new slot. All these tracks they have show us, except Mihika-Ashok & Mihir-Rinki actually marrying, seem to have been pre-planned, but they continually botch the execution because they are trying to be "flashy" (aka OTT drama).

The reason I think the overall track themes (including the current one) were planned early in the show is because the theme of the track is actually deep & meaningful. Plus during one of the celebrations, KP said they had enough storyline for 1000+ episodes, which I can believe. They just changed their execution of these tracks which have compromised almost every character and a lot of the honest emotion. Since the time slot change, I looked forward to most tracks they showed us, but then within a week of the track, crap would hit the fan and I lost my excitement thanks to shoddy execution,

We used to see meaningful dialogs & scenes that either served a purpose or had a positive spin for the viewers, but now every dialog and scenario appears to be crafted for the next annoying kaand. There are 100s of example over the last 2 months of scenes & dialogs looking too forced.

Finally negativity has overtaken in the show. Their execution has been botched because of the constant negativity they shove down our throats.

We fell in love with this show because even with drama, it was positive. We would rewatch episodes because they made you feel good, or they were so emotionally powerful that you couldn't help but rewatch it.

It's a real shame how low this show has plunged despite the fact the makers can clearly fix things. They have given us a handful of good, old-YHM episodes over the last 6 months, which shows that they are capable of creating magic.

We can only hope they realize this and save this show before it sinks too far.

Sorry for rambling, but your post is something I have felt for a while & even more so over the last few weeks!

Thanks for opening up this dialog even if it doesn't matter at all to the money-driven CVs, production house, channel, stars, & other invested parties of this show!

You have made the perfect post. Absolutely concur with you on every point that you have made. They have such amazing talent in the form of cast and the story progression earlier before the time change was top notch.

You made excellent points and I wish the television industry would truly wake up and one courageous producer becomes a true trailblazer by launching a drama that is not so farfetched!

Frankly I am also sick of seeing the same old plots, All that needs to be done is interchange the artistes from serial to serial and actually nothing will change.


I agree with all points but what confuses me is
Why so?! Why negativity attracts ppl?
Why ppl like to watch such negetive drama ?? Why this show still getting high trp???


I.cannot believe that audience like to see such drama. same people watched better shows earlier but patronise rubbish and accept it as a way of life. Viewers seem to have been conditioned to accept trash now. Dragging is necessary, saas bahu is needed etc.

IMO shows should have fixed story beforehand. Not change according to response. Different subjects be there. They ought to be finite Only Indian show makers have the privilege to change their product mid way.
As a matter of fact they should air finished products only.

In the 90s also, there were shows on channels like Doordarshan and Zee, in which women led an independent life, raised kids on their own..husband supporting wife.

So why can't such stories be shown now?

Instead of showing issues of infertility , divorce, remarriage custody of kids adoption, identity crisis, confusion, effect on psyche, lost childhood and whatnot, they are hell bent on making it like pathetic drama.

All becoz of trp system people are being conditioned to keep their mental horizons this limited!

I believe the 80s and 90s generation is the last one to have seen good shows. The 2000 one has been pelted with worst trash and dumbing down agenda ever!

Someone should throw out this trp system.. It completely destroyed Indian tv. No one dares to take up new story everywhere same pathetic drama n situation is so bad that ph n story writer doesn't even leave mythological stories. Even in them they want to introduce unnecessary drama n pathetic tracks

You make such a good point. I'm not in India, but I've watched a lot of desi shows & no matter what they all follow the same gissa-pita formula.

Truthfully I think it's insulting of these so called creatives to belittle the Indian television viewing society so much. By constantly churning out deviations of the same crap, all these PH just prove they don't think the Indian soap viewing society has the ability to appreciate something different. I refuse to belive that the "TRP" junta is not willing to accept something different on TV because no matter your education level, you can find beauty and connection to a well crafted piece of art.

I believe there is both TONS of greed & some real psychology behind why the OTT drama shows ended up beating out well crafted shows of the past.

For money, they clearly can compromise creativity and respect for their viewers. Not only that but overworked actors rarely speak out against the stupidity on their shows out of fear of being replaced by the bosses. Such a disappointing culture of the Indian television industry.

bang on post 👏

ofcourse makers dnt have confidence on thr own prdt ..

i don't know what the hell cv's are doing. I don't watch the episodes, follow the discussions or read the updates anymore. all in all, I pretend this show does not exist but it's really sad what the cv's did to this wonderful show in their thirst for trp's. that is why i don't think about the earlier days of YHM, because it is genuinely disappointing. Creatives are obviously responsible for this mess but I also think a lot of it has to do with starplus, the channel heads constantly pressurize the show runners to bring in melodrama and ott drama for trps, and writers have no option but to oblige. we may be emotionally attached to this how but writers are not, it's easier for them to butcher the characters and original premise. those who write for YHM also write for other balaji shows, so they have no time to get emotionally attached to the shows--instead they work like machines to churn out episodes and fill air times. sometimes when their brains are not working properly, they just write crap to fill up 20 minutes. it's all very robotic and business-like, I doubt they care much about the shows they write for.
