Sanaya shoots for Ghost

Ghost shoot starts in London ... some very interesting pics of San and her costar Shivam Bhargava from behind the scenes. very corporate polished look ... are they going to also shoot in India, or will the entire movie be shot in London? For a ghost/horror genre, this is an intriguing look ... none of the mahal, aayega aanewala haunted mansion type.

First two pics posted by Sanaya ... she seems quite excited about her new journey and her new look.

The beginning of new journey with so many emotions attached #excitement #nervous #grateful#fingerscrossed #ghost...

Sony on top ... that's interesting!!! On the back of Indian Idol and KBC ... although KBC is down this week, and Indian idol is up ... they keep seesawing! 

Star Plus - YHM seems to be well and truly out of the top twenty ... I just noticed it hasn't been there the last few weeks. heard that it is ending early next year ... hope so, it's high time! Also noticed that IB is not in the top 20 either ... but I think it's still popular online, so God knows what the fate will be ... with all the noise about End Ishqbaaz, No IB without Surbhi C ... deja vu! Why do only Gul's shows go through all this drama?! 

Naagin and the three KKBs rule the roost along with Indian idol ... KZK2 crawls into top 10 ... might try Kulfi again ... though so far it hasn't managed to hook me at all ... one episode every couple of weeks is usually enough for me. The Zee KKBs are not my cup of tea at all. Still watching Main Maayke Chali Jaaungi ... that doesn't even figure in the TRP chart, but it's watchable. It's holding stable at 0.6 which is okay for Sony, so hope it continues for the full length of the show. 

I'm waiting for Silsila and Bepanaah to end and the two new supernatural shows to start ... and hope to God they fall flat, so  the phs and channels get off the supernatural bandwagon. Qayamat ki Raat is out, Nazar is falling ... hope the small towns and cities have had enough of this crap! 

Rabba Ve has fallen in the charts ... I believe the Shyam exposure is over and the Sheetal/Mrs India tracks have started ... that was the last and worst phase of the show, so not surprised it has fallen.

Colors is back ... Sony's KBC falls, but Indian Idol comes back ... after being out of top 20 last week, it's back in top ten. Really wonder how reliable these ratings are!!! 

And Kasautii is completely out ... that's a shocker for SP and Ekta!

Rabba Ve continutes to be in the top 3 in rural areas ... for a very metro/urban flavoured show, that's quite something! No wonder SP is repeating the IPKKND maha movie this week on Star Utsav. SP's top shows are the SPA, Kulfi, Yeh rishta, Dance plus and the two supernatural shows ... Daayan and Qayamat ... and the top show continues to be Naagin ... what on earth is happening to Indian viewers' tastes??!!!  

In Sanaya news, she has started shoot for Ghost. And we still don't have news of any other cast members. Am not holding out much hope for this movie at all!

Edited - okay, we have news of one more cast member - Shivam Bhargava


Very corporate polished look ... for a Ghost story? I begin to get intrigued ...

And then we have another new look for Sanaya ... posted by herself ... with an ode to the beginning of a new journey ... equally polished suave look ... and I am finally developing an interest in Ghost. No haunted house, wailing ghosts, locked doors 'aayega aanewala' kind of story here (like I'm seeing in the new new show promos on Colors ... yuck!!!) ... this actually seems different.

BARC Ratings - 12th Nov

Ratings delayed because of Diwali holidays.

Happy Diwali to everyone still reading here! :)

https://scrutinybykhimaanshu.blogspot.com/2018/11/ week 44


Zee is on top this week ... maybe because of Zee Rishtey Awards.

KBC climbs to no. 7 ... Kids special this week, and the questions for kids are quite tough ... especially when kids are all between 11 and 13 years of age.

Indian Idol is out of top 20 ... surprising!!! My favourite Soumya is eliminated ... why do classical singers never win any of the singing shows?! Disappointed!

YHM is finally out of top 20 ... hope that show winds up now. It's also not doing well online, unlike IB ... which is why I feel IB will continue, and YHM may end. Online ratings finally having a bearing on show longevity.

Watched Main Maayke after a few days gap ... I think makers were veering towards saas bahu show with wicked buaji ... but wiser sense prevailed, they wound up the buaji track quickly, and made it a lighter show. But now the next suspense ... when will the contract truth be out? In the meantime, the confusion about the dress was cute and funny and light hearted.

Top half of the top 10 pretty much the same ... the 3 KKBs doing well, as is Naagin and YRKKH ... really dunno what it is about these shows ... except for a few scenes of Kulfi, I have not watched, or managed to sit through any of the others. Even YRK, which was very decent for a long time, is now feeling stretched like stale chewing gum ... it got a new lease of life by bringing in a new generation, and the new jodi became very popular ... but really wonder how long the makers will stretch this. It will soon overtake KSBKBT at this rate!!!
ISB back in top 5 ... maybe I should re-visit it and see what's happening. Not while KBC lasts though ... my weekday evenings are now totally taken up by KBC, and weekends by Indian Idol ... so glad to see both in the top 10, though only just.

The lower half of the top twenty ... again not watched much ... Krishna Chali London comes right after KBC, so have caught a few minutes of that while changing channels ... unremarkable. Acting of the FL is actually better than acting of Erica ... not saying much, because almost any FL on TV is better than Erica with her expressionless eyes and wooden dialogue delivery. Having said that, Erica has improved slightly, but her face is very hard, there is no softness in it all all. Compared to the original Prerna ... yes,  I actually watched a couple of scenes of the original, thanks to Hotstar ... she is bad.
Thanks again to Hotstar, have caught up with Kasauti 2 ... the guy, Parth, is surprisingly good ... how I wish there was a better actress opposite him.
Hina is grossly miscast from what little I've seen ... and her costume is definitely wrong choice. I never watched KZK the original, but even I remember Urvashi from various stills and scenes here and there, and she oozed oomph and glamour. Really have no idea why they've made Hina dress like a cross between a banjaran and a village girl ... but spouting perfect English! Somebody has gone very wrong somewhere!!!
Rest of the Basu females are all typical Ekta ... loud, crass, overdressed to show their wealth ... the entire show looks overdone. TRPs seem to have picked up since last week ... so maybe it will survive. EK and SP must be disappointed though ... after the huge promotions, these ratings are not really good.

I used to admire SP for not going the supernatural way and trying out new different concepts ... am so disappointed to see them give up and join the bhed chaal. Qayamat, Nazar ... and both those shows managing to stay in top 20 ... really don't know what's happening to Indian audience tastes!

Oh well ... Netflix and other web platforms zindabad!






Unbelievable! Rabba Ve, the original IPKKND, is still at no. 3 in the rural charts! And is at a very respectable no. 14 in the combined urban + rural charts.
Am guessing after the disastrous flop IPKKND3, SP decided to end the franchise, and re-name the original!
