Basic fact is every product has a shelf life and if you do not replace that with new one you have to stop your business. Ambassador cars was a hit once, but hardly can be seen now. HM brought new brands, even Bnez and Apple replace their old products. After 5 years any show looses its radiance, so you have to something new which may catch the market.
Balika till 4 years had a flavor of its own- the kids struggling under marriage - anandi, shugna, phuli, asha, laxmi and not so much kid gehna. There were lot of characters whose story was unique in its own and every story was fresh.
Once Anandi and Jagya grow up their miya biwi khana pakana and shona was no spice, Gauri came and show got new life, Nice triangle was liked by people. That also too started dragging, TRP was 3.2. Makers had a foresight they brought some thing more new shiv, shiv anandi s story jagya s villain avtar brought nice numbers till March 2015. TRP was 5,8 in December/ Jan even it was 11 during shyam shugna marriage.
After March 15 - replacement happened and people moved out. Though I am not fan of any actor but this is a fact because numbers dipped. Then the track of sajaga could not do great wonders, but still the show was not out of life. Tracks like Jagya Ganga marriage, Ratan s attack, Sanchi s revenge, her rape , her marriage, amol kidnap, 15th aug attack, dadi bua drug drama appealed to some extent. Though Mannu s cancer, shyamal bhai, ganga kidnap, niranjan sa, palash, anup drama was nailing down the show.
Anandi s pregnancy brought back viewers some interest but the writers wanted to innovate with shiv s death and going back to basic. Because they were not happy with 2,5 trp they thought BV wll be more than 5 if anandi becomes a widow.
From March 15 to October 15, viewers tried because of the carrot when anandi will find nandini and to see how she manage the kids or how anandi punish akhi, how jagya ganga handle their family their teen kids. But what they got could not satisfy any fan. But as a matter of habit they watched, and some how the jahalara was a variation.
But after October it was a complete drag of increasing the episodes. And the new leap - NO COMMENTS - wrapping up the show is a great evidence.
