Salil's tweets:


Sony doing well on the back of its weekend programming ... Kapil has been really good for them! Hope the guy does better in his second innings and doesn't let success go to his head again. And I'm glad that their fictions shows are also reasonably stable ... hopefully means they will be allowed to tell their story as planned, and not rushed off air.
All four main channels are neck to neck though ... and interesting to see that the top four shows are the weekend shows ... three reality, and one Naagin ... god help us! And except for Naagin and Nazar, none of the other plethora of supernatural shows find place in the top 20. Is there hope that Indian TV will come out of this backward crapfest soon? 

IB season 2 is holding weakly onto its ratings ... wonder how long it will stay on air. Same with YHM ... though that one has surely outlived its story by a mile or more, and needs to go off air. I heard that there will be a TRP holiday in Feb-March while the ratings systems are adjusted, so probably the channels are holding on to the current shows till after that. 
Enjoyed Patiala Babes Friday episode ... it was good to see some sensible talk around divorce for once ... loved the way Hanuman Singh fired Mini and her mom about their very filmy take on selling jewelry, and the common sense is accepting ... no, demanding! alimony and child support. Anirudh Dave is a good actor and he plays Hanuman Singh very well ... love his dialogues, whoever writes them is doing a great job. 
Ladies Special ... Meghna is coming up against some common problems in setting up a business ... what makes it more difficult is that her husband doesn't have a job either, so their income is solely dependent on her business taking off soon. Realistic for now ... except for the Cinderella Prarthna-Viraj story ... but that is made watchable because Viraj is such a cute buffoon ... and seems to be genuinely good at heart ... It's cute the way they are showing him falling genuinely for Prarthna ... and she for him. Bindu is another slightly unrealistic character ... is it possible for someone to be so good and selfless? Kangana will become typical vamp ... and Amar of course is clueless husband caught between wife and other woman, and unable, despite being a smart man, to see through Kangana's wiles.

Sanaya is still in the US with her sister ... didn't get back in time for her wedding anniversary. Must be some major reason ... wonder if her sis is married ... and if she's having a baby or something. We did hear that San has to shoot more for Ghost in Feb, and the planned release date is May. She also has Gul's web series lined up ... and Zindabad 2 ... so she has her hands full when she gets back. Maybe that's the reason for the long break ... as she knows she won't be travelling again soon. This has been a long trip out of India ... she came to London in November.

I am even happier to see Sony fiction shows inching upwards ... they are infinitely preferable to the Daayans, Nazars, Tantras and other such supernatural stuff. All three that I watch are stable or have inched upwards, so have the ones I don't watch ... CGM, Sai and Yeh Un Dinon.
Qayamat ki Raat has sunk, Nazar is still doing okay - I believe it is now a story about supernatural saas-bahu clash ... yuck! Hope it sinks soon.
The surprise is that KZK2 has dropped ... quite significantly ... it managed to reach the top ten last week, but is out this week.
Colors making slight recovery on the back of its weekend shows ... KK makes a great start, and Naagin still doing well.

Sanaya has wrapped up the shoot of Ghost in London and is now in Chicago with her sister. Rumor is that she has another shoot schedule in February, and Ghost will release in May. VB insta has already started promos. I wonder whether it will be a web release or a cinema release ... am happy either way.

Back!
