Copy Cats Indian Television Show

Originality, I think this word is missing in Indian Television show dictionary.  Why does it happen that most of the high rated TRP shows in India are copies of other country’s television shows? well its a well known fact that successful copied shows sell  like hot cakes and producers are not willing to take risk.  Why do they show their ingenuity in only saas bahu type serials??  Is it that brainstorming is not in their blood??

I agree viewers enjoy such shows and its definitely the hot pick for most of the young generations.Level of competition has increased among the various channels in India and to remain in the battle field their main weapon has now become the reality shows.  They are so obsessed with the reality shows that they have started copying it from other countries.

Few Channels do came up with their original freaking reality shows like “Desi Girl”, “Shaadi 3 Crore ki”, “Dare to Date” , “Emotional Attayachar”  which makes no sense and even couldn’t win the hearts of many viewers.  Copied reality shows could only gain much TRPs. When will they stop copying and mimicking shows from other parts of the world and come up with something original and make it a huge success.

I wish Indian Producer should come up with huge hit creative and original reality shows and other countries should get inspired from our shows.
