Indian audience not mature enough to accept Yudh: Kay Kay Menon

Kay Kay Menon

Amitabh Bachchan's Yudh (Sony Entertainment Television) has flopped and how. Despite the presence of acting heavyweights of Bollywood, TRPs of Yudh has consistently remained at an all time low. Amitabh had earlier told us that he doesn't understand TRPs and their way of functioning unlike box-office figures.

While Amitabh may not have accepted Yudh's failure on the small screen, Kay Kay Menon who plays an important role in the fiction series chooses to blame the Indian audience and their sensibilities for the low TRPs. Ask Kay Kay about what went wrong with Yudh, the actor says, " When the audiences become right nothing will go wrong. Indian television audience is not mature enough to accept Yudh."

Adding on why he thinks audience and their sensibilities need to change, Kay Kay says, "When the same rotten paratha is served to someone year after year, all of a sudden when a change in their taste arrives, it shocks them. Tell me if Yudh is bad as compared to other serials running on television. If you show me that the content is bad, I will accept it. But that is not the case here. We need to make and show serials like Yudh before audience starts accepting them."

Kay Kay also believes that if audience is the king they cannot be absolved from their responsibility of not watching good content.

Well, strong words there from Kay Kay on Indian audience and their sensibilities.

Well well well, no offence to Yudh, but YRF did make some awesome shows that never did affect the sense and sensibilities of a TRP audience. Kismat, Seven etc etc. Any thing dark and intense that has a movie like cinematic approach does not work. Another show on Colors Rangrasiya got the same treatment. The reason being the audience does not really sit across their TV screens watching a show, the women are multi-tasking. Concentration is zero so things have to move at a snail's pace!

This just goes on to show how FLAWED THE TRP system is .You cant have 8000 people decide what 18Cr want to watch.we do not know if any of these 8000 are related to any channel,producer etc.This system will be challenged one day in the court of law

I partially Disagree with KK. Yudh is a bad, non engaging content thats why it failed. TV audience doesn't run after film stars and big names like it happens in films. Yes TV audience have their different set of problems and TRP system is flawed and channels like Colors have No Vision. Thats why Colors CEO Raj Nalayak and Prashant Butt decide to shut a fab show like Rangrasiya and continue with Uttran. I pity them.

Kay Kay sir, it was a bad luck for those audience who want to taste new item but owing to maximum people they get bound to swallow that same rotten paratha...If Yudh was a typical monotonous saas-bahu saga it would have been accepted in a better way...It's such a bad luck for the team of Yudh and Indian audience that your show did not work..

i respect u kay kay, but i beg to differ on this point of urs. Indian audience of this century is very much mature and there r various evidences for that. regarding yudh, i think the presentation was amateurish rather than the audience viz., lighting, direction,script,sound, failure to build characters, ignoring some of the characters midway etc. It was a lazy attempt. Just casting a megastar doesnt mean u can ignore other aspects. I think anurag must have been busy in 'BOMBAY VELVET' making n thus couldnt concentrate here.This was a good opportunity with good actors and a mega star for indian television to revive on a different path, now mayb no producer would take a risk OR mayb some would take this debacle as an opportunity and cast other good actors and superstars and come up with something good.i hope the later happens soon. U said u have not watched YUDH, keep it that way otherwise u would go in depression for at least a month.

'Angoor mile nahi isilye woh khatte lage kya?' ya fir 'nachta yeiina angan vakda?'. Mr.Menon, i respect u as an actor at least. It was very amateurish on ur part to call the indian audience 'not mature', we r public, jo sab janti hai and we can make or break u. YUDH was a third class attempt, period. I admire anurags vision to at least make an attempt to change some genre of indian television, but alas!, he did not get good director / writers. i beg to differ on this point of urs.
