Sree :- Hugs 🤗. I am doing good. I agree with you - promotions get the people to sit up and take notice but and that is a huge but, you need to know what exactly is the picture you are putting across to the viewers. And there are not 1 but quite few challenges for this show already - one in the form of IPL and another is like you have mentioned in the bold as that show on SP is still the number 1 on TRPs and is firmly etched in audience mind. So if a chance is given to the audience they do expect something new to entice them and promotions take it so far only. And whether people agree or not in India, Male Lead should be able to carry the show forward at least help rein in the viewers as majority of TRP audience is young girls and female population. Here toh I have no hopes whatsoever in this area. I have seen many serials where the leads are doing nothing spectacular but they at least play their part convincingly. Definitely the makers need to pull up their socks - they have their work cut out for them.

Agree! hope is all that we have😆 also it is not true that the audience is not open to new fresh concepts or a different approach! we all knw how "voldemort" had managed to become a slot leader during its good run! a laid back narrative instead of heavy duty preaching and "evil" drama may just do CC good. we already have heavy drama at 9 in the rival channel!
again considering that sony is a lot more flexible channel, i hope the channel/ PH don't fall prey to the TRP games but stick to their vision... which i still hope is a contemporary approach in story telling! i honestly get scared when i hear/see "saas-bahu" and TRPs together!
OMG itna pressure...unke liye bhi aur hamare liye bhi

Yep. I get they're trying to show Chanchan as a modern girl- but I'm sure her friends are similar to her. Like they say, your friends define you. I mean, the girl who was about to be married off with dowry is just sitting there and crying- say something at least!! Because, in reality not everyone will have that one friend who will fight the battles for you- you have to take a stand.

That's what I was worried about: the social message being handled poorly, thus it fell flat.

i agree with u all...that was my problem with the dowry issue as well! i would have been more happy if it was a pre-wedding drama with chanchan only bringing the issue to light. daughter then taking a stand against it with a father who finally gets over his fears and supports her. here everything from exposure to change of heart happened in 5 minutes, main parties spoke almost nothing and not to forget the "awakening amidst the pheras" with chanchan almost completing her rounds too does that happen for real? this is what happens when serious issues are introduced only as an excuse for setting the tone of main relationships in the show and here it was no different!

Always love reading your post in any forum..🤗😆 had a good laugh..thnks

updated my reply on pg 2... Hee Hee, a treat, this post. read all comments and hungry for more. 😃

Hey Jamba!

Rama Rama kaisa yeh drama drama! ... here on IF. What? You thought I meant the show? 😉 Don't have the SaHan shakti for heavy duty dahej saga on a day that has just been brutal in AD!

First all hail our megastar J-J! Another marvelous take - made even better by the fact that I didn't watch the show! 😆

Sahelis, rabba ve. This maybe a speedy hello, hi, bye, bye. I'm dead on my feet but had to peek in to send 🤗 and ❤️ to all my cyber buddies.

What an annoucement 😆

Ok...i read and re-read and i still dont know who had the guts to rename J as J-J (unless J-J is the "modern J")... ofc since i dont watch Jingle or the Moon madness anymore i may have missed the memo...
