Re TRPs:
Ever since May/June, where the CVs have been trying to shuffle around various storylines/characters to accomodate this character, their mentality has been this. We are willing to accept TRPs in the 2s as long as they are stable. So they figured all we have to do to boost TRPs is feed the audience big fat lollipops. That's what the Holi episodes were...pretty soon that didn't work for long so they played the wedding card, making sure it was promoted
Well in advance. They got that much needed boost, but then still showed what they wanted to show. Next, they tried showing those lollipop romantic "honeymoon" scenes. Didnt work, so they finally relented, made the character a villain, and for about two episodes they made Madhu fight for husband. Then they fed the audience another lollipop again with RK shooting Sultan, and sure enough people took their bait and TRPs rose. Then, they figured a sure temporary TRP booster would be bringing in a huge star like SRK. They suddenly remembered their show was about Bollywood and claimed it fit right into their storyline. Pictures were published in national publications, SRK himself promoted the show numerous times on twitter, which has 4 million viewers, various promos were released by the channel a week well in advance, and yet TRPs didn't just stay the same, they went down and they are now kicked out of the top ten. So the CVs stratrgy of feeding lollipops for one or two episodes and going back to the way things were is not going to work anymore and they seriously have lost their ability to gauge the pulse of the average viewer. If they want this show to be successful and plan to keep it running, then they better do something about it quickly. Agar itni himmat hai then show the divorce becoming official, show Madhu running off with Sultan. Otherwise show RK using his brain and Madhu not taking crap from a gangster, but for godsakes stop wavering in this in between filler space.
