Guess what same is told by my family too. But, their are some people who like to watch some Saas Bahu saga which Star Plus have lack of will not subscribe to Star Plus.
My mom love to watch some sensible shows and I always shocked to see that she's not that much educated and she know the quality of shows.
She watches KZK, Kullfi, Porus's Spin-off Chandragupta, Radhakrishna, Ladies Special, Patiyala Babes, Yeh Un..DKBH etc.
What the hell educated people are watching?
Choose your packs wisely depending on the network. I am talking only about Hindi GECs here.Except Ekta's dum tana na, i am fan of all sony Programs (Simple n Decent) with no special effects (wich come in plenty on Ekta Shows).
I used to watch Kulffi but even sometimes it turns out to be melodramatic so its ok but KZK is not at all that good. Its storyline is same as Ekta's other shows.
- Sony: Best for people who want good quality Hindi serials for cultured minds. Sony (and to a large extent also Sony Sab) has a very high standard of shows (barring TKSS), which unfortunately also means low TRPs in general. Look at the shows mentioned in @hike's post. To this I will also ad a few of Sony Sab's shows, such as Tenali Rama, Jijaji and the upcoming Bhakarwadi. Also, Sab has launched 2 shows with only 26 episodes each, so I have to say that Sony (SPN)'s focus is on quality rather than quantity.
- Star: The most expensive, but note that NGC is included in these packs, so that's a big plus. Star Plus has something for every taste, from the worst of the worst (like the upcoming Divya Drishti, as well as KZK) through melodramatic but perfectly fine shows (KKB) to better shows (such as The Voice). Similar arguments hold for Star Bharat, though it doesn't have any terrible shows as such (nor does it have any reality shows/weekend programming).
- Zee: An overall okay network, a bit cheaper than Star. Zee TV, like Star Plus, has something for every taste. While the serials are pretty melodramatic, SRGMPLC and other such shows make Zee worth subscribing. There's also Zee Cinema, the predominant Hindi movie channel in acquisition of new titles, and the best at properly balancing Hindi and South movies in its schedule.
- Viacom18: Subscribe to Colors at your own risk. I consider this channel to be fit only for uncultured minds. I don't know of any shows which can be appreciated at a higher level, except Rising Star.
