Spending a year or two on one particular series is somehow frustrating, especially when the story Seems to be in a particular place without any new changes, when we talk about long series Indian series can’t be left out, but the question is why are Indian series long?
1. In India series are produced by or for a particular media house/channel and they are the only ones with exclusive rights to broadcast it, unless otherwise sold to a different channel. So if you have a favorite actor in a particular series it automatically means you have to watch that particular channel almost every day and this can boost television rating points ( TRP).
2. Short Series are considered flops in India. Despite how interesting or entertaining a series may be, if its episodes are below hundred (100) or between hundred – two hundred (100-200) such series are considered flops because successful shows are the shows with longer episodes, a series with more than three hundred (300) episodes are considered successful and therefore every production company wants their series to cross this milestone.
3. Actors are given higher paychecks. Acting or partaking in a series for over five (5) years means actors are filling their pockets, so why leave a show when you’re being paid well?
4. It’s a competition; media houses are considered rivals, each media house wants to be known as the best, and on top of everything, always production companies are willing to cross a setting milestone for their production or series. That’s why they keep beating around the same story with different generations.
5. Long series sells well, if the series is long with many episodes, putting it into the international market means sells higher than a series with short episodes.
In conclusion, long series are more popular as compared to short ones, it is a competition between media houses and actors benefit a lot from it. Keep visiting blastersseries.com for fastest updates.
