There was an era of Saas-Bahu serials. Today even though they exist, the limelight today is on reality shows and talent hunts. Indian Idol, Sa re ga ma pa, Star Voice of India, Jhoom India, Jhalak Dikhlaja, Nach Baliye… the list is endless.
At times the participants are celebrities and at times common people. High drama along with finely tailored singing & dancing ensures high TRP rating. This drama comes from participants and judges. Participants cry, laugh and share their aspiration and at times even their family problems to win more support; to add drama while judges fight with each other while favoring a participant and at times questioning their ability. The show conductor is the most neutral.
But the highlight is using SMS to decide the winners. This ensures great profits both to the service provider and the channel. Sympathy and support of participants and popularity of the celebrity’s participants used to ensure high inflow of these.
The judges fight and grumble over decision of the public taken by these SMS, ensuring more drama, more polarization of sentiments and hence more votes.
So in this new avatar of the Indian Television, the audience pays out of their pockets more directly. :)
