Shocking! Big Ticket Shows Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 And Bigg Boss 12 Plummet

Things are not looking good for Star Plus’ Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 and Colors’ Bigg Boss 12, for both shows have registered significant drop in its impressions in Week 40 (September 29-October 5). Let’s begin by talking about the former. The show is a remake of the iconic Kasautii Zindagii Kay (2001) which starred Shweta Tiwari and Cezanne Khan and made them stars overnight. The reboot stars Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan. Considering the magnanimity of the original, fans were waiting with bated breath to witness Anurag and Prerna’s journey. However, despite the hype, the show has failed to lure fans. In the first week, it barely made it to Top 10.

It was still early days and it is only fair to give a new show some time to gain momentum, but unfortunately Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 did not ascend. This week, it has further dropped to No.16. What is not working? Whatever the reason may be, makers have to pull up their socks to push the show quickly upwards in the merit list. Introduce Komolika’s character, perhaps?

Coming to Bigg Boss 12, the Salman Khan-hosted show has been a bummer from the get go. The reality show did get eyeballs in the first week owing to the fanfare but soon fizzled out. Bigg Boss 12 was ousted from Top 10 last week, but now, it has dropped to No. 20 (Weekend Ka Vaar). First, the show has high concentration of commoners this time which has made it rather difficult for fans to remain ‘interested’. Second, Anup Jalota and Jasleen Matharu’s jodi grabbed eyeballs when the show began, but that too has been overdone. Third, Roshmi Banik and Kriti Verma, who were loudmouths on the show was the first duo to be ousted, which reduced the ‘drama’ in the house to a large extent. Lastly, from the looks of it, the ploy of eliminating contestants and sending them to the ‘secret room’, case in point, Anup Jalota and Sreesanth, has become repetitive. So much so, the audience can guess way in advance that a twist in awaited.
