@jainnehaI respect your choice of not liking the 'c' episode--everyone have their likes and dislikes-But it is a wrong perception that the TRPs dropped due to 'c' episode..
BALH has been gaining Avg TRPs of 2.9 since second week of Feb--(isn't it a uncanny coincidence a new show on zee was launched exactly around the same time-colors had a new show launched in Jan-both shows garnering healthy 2+ TRPs-their earlier shows were not doing as well).
The week preceding the consummation had high dramas backed by aggressive promotions by sony for the 'c' episode'The week averaged a trp of 3.5.The 'c' episode itself had the TRP of 3.57(second highest in the month'and much higher than the avg TRP of 2.9)'the episodes that followed 'c' had a TRP of 3.45 ,3.05 (also higher than the current Avg)'The weeks following the 'c' episodes have gone back to the 2.9 trps..also to be noted there was hardly any new promo after the 'c' episode was telecasted.(certainly the TRPs have not dipped beyond 2.9 mark'the loyal regular viewers did not stop watching BALH post the 'c')
There is yet another coincidence-- there has been a dip in TRPs in all Sony's daily shows- certainly BALH 'c' episode is NOT responsible for the same'The rival channels have revamped their shows-introduced twists,time leaps and also have marketed the shows well'have kept special 'maha'episodes regularly..
Isn't it crystal clear that the new competition combined with Sony's lethargic marketing that has led to a dip in TRPs since past few months'
Just posting an analysis from my side--no offence meant to anyone.Cheers!!
