HIT OR FLOP: Krishna Chali London, Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala, Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, Super Dancer 3?
DREADED Thursday brings the UPs and DOWNs of Indian television and I bring them to you with my comments
Today is that DREADED Thursday where TV shows go up and down in the coveted list of Top 10 and tempers fly high in channels and production houses. Of course, it was all happening at the ends of those who have been hit this afternoon. A few were even celebrating. Let's see who rocked and who got jolted.
Rohit Shetty is on a real high. After Simmba, he has started Sooryavanshi and this morning, he announced a production which Farah Khan will direct. A few hours later, he was seen grinning from ear to ear. Reason- Khatron Ke Khiladi is once again on No.1. There is not a single week since the beginning of 2019 that his reality show has not been at the zenith. Guess people love to watch participants flirting with danger. But it just isn't that. Rohit Shetty has become the highest paid director in Bollywood and a very well-known face; it helps if you are successful and known. Mind you, this is not to discount his hosting skills- he is good, and that's that!

A Still From Khatron Ke Khiladi & Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
A nudge to Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, it has gone down from 3 to 5. Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan's magic, err. chemistry, has not worked this week. Rajan Shahi has work to do.
A Still From Tujhse Hai Raabta & RadhaKrishn
And it hurts to see Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 not entering the leader board, it's languishing at 15.
The big surprise this week is the ascent of Tujhse Hai Raabta from 8 to 4. Zee TV is doing something right.
RadhaKrishn is losing its fizz rather quickly, as it has gone down to 9 from 7. Star Bharat needs to burn some midnight oil.
A Still From Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 & Kundali Bhagya
Kundali Bhagya and Kumkum Bhagya, however retain their last week's positions on 6 and 10 respectively. Star Plus is on the ball, but maybe they can kick harder- these 2 shows were quite high on the chart not too long ago.
A Still From Super Dancer 3
But the biggest downhill slip is Sony's Super Dancer 3. The show has fallen from 4 to 7. All this when it is nearing the finale! Frankly, I am happy that fewer people have watched this show in the last seven days. I have been strongly advocating the perils associated with what the kids are doing on stage.
I shall see you again, next week, with more on the ups and downs of Indian television.
