IPk for all its popularity never had good TRPs while Ballika Vadhu is still running with good ratings
Gopi bahu 🤢
No story...it is still like it was when it started
Akshara aunty 🤢
Somebody tries something new and people don't want it !
True. Our show's highest TRP was 4.9 after the PayAsh sangeet week, second to DABH's 5.2.
But I know why our show never had that much TRP despite its insane popularity.
Demography!
See, DABH, Gopi Bahu, BV?? All rustic/Indian themed shows. Audience: Women, middle-class families, rural population!
IPK? Love story, urban-centric, urban middle-class to be wider.. Audience: 13-30 women, urban middle-class, international population.
Now, DABH type serial has a wider & vast number of TV watching audience. & less tech savvy audience. Hence high TRP & less craze about it in the world wide web
IPK has a fair number of viewer... BUT, they are tech savvy, as a result, IPK has a viral craze around net & among teen & tweens... & also,most people tended to watch epis on YT or other net sources.
& for the first set of viewers, these DABH or Saathiya were the only programs which catered to their entertainment needs. You & I, who watch IPK, we watched it on TV & on YT, & we also had our entertainment doses from Grey's Anatomy, Castle or many such thing, like any urban middle class family.
See, anywhere on TV, urban based shows are lower on TRP chart..The whole channel, Sony, is low on the TRP chart, as it has the most urban based show for a GEC.
