T.R.P of serials is a big vicious circle

- 'It's not that we don't have good content, but how well supernatural serials like 'Naagin', 'Kavach' are being presented here. The contest finally brings us back to mother-in-law stories.'

T.V. The biggest complaint of actors who have turned to the web space or films after earning huge fame in serials is the monotonous stories on the small screen. Especially family dramas, mother-in-law stories. So is there a dearth of diverse content in this medium? T.V. No writers to write good stories for the industry? In response to this, industry sources say that it's not that we don't have fast-paced content, but the industry runs on TRPs. How nicely supernatural serials like 'Naagin', 'Kavach' are being presented here. However, the cycle of maintaining TRPs on prime time slots has become a vicious cycle for us. The rivalry finally brings us back to mother-in-law stories. Producer Binefer Kohli believes that this medium directly touches millions of people. TV viewers at home. It is arranged in front. They like to see on the small screen what is happening in their daily life. They see themselves as well as one or another family member in the characters of the serial, comparing them with themselves or the people around them. By doing so, they feel like the show is telling their own story. So when something new is tried to be offered to them, they don't enjoy watching the show. In such a situation, when the TRP of the respective serial begins to falter, its creator has to return to the mother-in-law track or the show comes to be called off.

Director Lalit Mohan, who has given a number of successful serials, also believes something like this. They say we don't have a dearth of fresh new content. It's not that we haven't tried new experiments. I have worked on a few youth-centric shows. I also presented a show 'Roomy' inspired from the American show 'Friends'. We thought of giving 30 episodes of it, but it didn't get TRP and we suffered a huge loss. We finally wrapped it up after 26 episodes. No creator and channel can afford to shell out money in anticipation of TRPs.
