Malayalam channels reality shows!!


Its a truth that the full Malayalam channels are running behind some sort of reality shows. These kind of shows hit the TV industry this much with Asianet telecasting Idea Star Singer (ISS). People started viewing this to see the young talents singing some good songs and also the comments posted by Sarath(One of the gifted musicians in Malayalam, he got trained under Dr. Bala Murali Krishna) and M.G. Sreekumar(2 time National award winner for the best singer). Slowly this program, the contestants and the judges got place in the people’s hearts. Many commercial companies realized this fact and nowadays ISS is showing just 3 songs a day in a 1 hr program; rest full time its advertisements. Many Hi funda people are saying like they don’t like viewing these kind of programs.. But I m just a common man and I do love watching this. Previously also I used to watch Amrita TV super star. I started viewing just to see the fabulous trio of judges there.. Later watched to see Sangeeth performing :-)

Nowadays all channels are showing so many reality shows. It started getting boring as everyone is mimicking the same thing. They cant help as there are no viewers for there program during prime time. This will affect their revenue. But better thing is try something new like giving some good
gifts with small questions such as guessing the prize of some stuffs.. Mm I m not able to convey what I m having in my mind.. Its OK.. not a big deal. leave it...

Another thing I noted is almost all reality shows are sponsored by Telephone operators..

IDEA star singer

Vodafone thakadhimi

Airtel star wars

And confident group is sponsoring almost all prizes.. Where are the other builders..? Or Confident grp is not facing any competition in Kerala? If thats the case, Why they want to advertise? I am not getting anything out of it!

Regarding ISS, I am not getting what Sarath is telling daily? "Sangathi" was not perfect, Tempo was missing, Sruthi was not perfect, In High pitch there were flats.. Low pitch is not good enough etc.
Yesterday it happened like after Vani Jayarams song, Sarath told like.. you need to practice low. He mentioned to practice low registers well.. My Amma was hearing this and asked me...? Is Vani studying MBBS or law? Why Sarath told about law? :-)

Kairali Star Wars seems picking the clutch as actress SwethaMenon is doing good with a new concept of Friendly judges(Govindan Kutti andSantosh Jogi). But what I liked in the program is the judges. Sriram andDevika. Sriram is a singer, music director, university rank holder and can play 9 instruments extremely well..Hoo cant believe a person singing, playing 9 instruments and is a music director too...And the gorgeous Devika.. She looks damn pretty except some pimples over her face. She is a great dancer. Kairali is showing these 2 performing many days.. its lovely to watch those two...

Kairali did a good thing by including a full campus instead of a single person in there show, so that all guys related to their college, they will get the viewer ship, once they are out also, they will continue watching the same!! Nice idea...

Sad thing is that.. now all programs are coming with reality shows. For Dancing (Senior level and Junior level), Classical music, Cookery show, Jodi No.1, Acting etc. etc.

So just wait guys.. ur time also will come... Best Blogger... Its a truth that all these changes started with Idea star singer.. So an Idea can change your life!! :-)
