Star one came as a relief from typical serials. before its launch we were forced to watch saas- bahu serials where mother- in - law conspires against daughter-in - law or vice - a - versa. if not this we watchedserials based on super natural heroes with extraordinary powers and capabilities.......or some talent hunt for singers or dancers.......I often wonder what were the youth doing there? they did not fit the bill........so with new ideas and as a god gift came star one. it made me feel it was some sort of addiction. all the shows were different. some were just great .....namely sarabhai V\S sarabhai. this comedy series directed by Deven Bhojani with veteran actors like Satish Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah
and brilliant actors like sumeet ranganathan, rupali ganguly and rajesh kumar changed the defination of comedy overnight. it was like a therapy to stress. thye grear indian comedy show and the great indian laughter challenge changed the television industry overnight
other series like dil kya chahta hai and remix gave the look of urban comedy and touched the heart of the youths with its unique style....
it was not that it gave importance to only comedy but shows like Siddhanth, special squad, guns and roses.......all came with mature subject matter. talent hunts were also there but this time talent hunts were different. the lakme fashion week was too good to explain in words.......
the bestt thing about all this shows was that they were not lengthy years running operas but all ended in good record year in fact some of them completed im months..
it was all good until these shows ended and new shows were telecast.....to be very frank the new shows has disappointed me for example INDIA CALLING......it began with a good story but now its more like a soap opera ...with husband - wife quarrelling...thats not a call centre anymore right????kya hoga nimmo ka and kya hoga is serial kaaa? will it ever end...
or may be dil chahe more......god knows what happened to it. why they are confusing a simple love story?Resham dankh gives some hope...hopefully it will keep the hope. heart beat was launched andit failed to impress anyone. even the dwitiya style is not working anymore...the laughter challenge II was not impressive at all. neither is nach baliye II
so the bottom line is star one has finally chosen the same way in which other channels are already moving. still star one brought some change . hopefully some other channels will learn something out of it.but as for star one the quality of it has only detoriated ......will it ever go back to its origins or may be we get used to soap operas yet again........whatever it is I just say change brought it success and imitation will ruin it......
it should seriously start thinking about it.......
