Even today, it only caters to an audience mostly in the 20-30 age group, while Indian Idol, a complete copy of the hit American Idol, catered to the masses and classes alike. In fact, he had the entire nation glued to the television screen as they saw the contestants from the larger family taking center stage. This, along with famous celebrities serving as judges, added the flavor that was the need of the moment. Backstage events behind the screens were shown for the first time. The reviews, favors, arguments, and awards were seen publicly and helped the show get high TRPs and dominated other shows until the end of the season. The success ensured that the winners became household names and the show continued each season.
