TRP Ratings- CC Updated This Week - Page 6

I am a silent reader in the forum but do not write as I do not want to get into the fan wars and am not given to drool on any of the actors. I am a fan of the show/s and not actors(I agree with someone who said that they are grown up and mature to fight thier own battles and know what is good for them). However I have liked Sanaya in Fanaa and watched her previous show as well.

I tried posting feedback on the show on the sony site but the word limit is a dampener -was waiting for them to respond so that I could elaborate but they do not seem interested. Someone said here that the makers read IF - so am posting here.

1) I think the makers made a big mistake by not focussing on the conflict from the start. They focussed on the romance which we all know was a flop no thanks to the great acting talent that the makers chose to introduce. To an extent the Purvi track was ok till the newspaper apology part but later on I think they messed it up .

2) A bigger problem I think is CC characterisation. Supposedly Modern , but for the clothes she could be a bahu from any other soap. CC needed to be fun for the audience to be interested in her(seeing that the show revolves around her) but is sadly a bit of a bore

3) All the tracks upto the marraige were badly concieved and executed including the manner in which UB first coerces Manav not to marry CC and then breaks off the engagement.

4) While marraige is supposed be a TRP raiser, this was the most shabbily executed marraige sequence I have ever seen. Rituals were jumbled up and the eco friendly marraige was OTT and extremely tasteless

By this time , obviously the audience has lost all interest in the show.

The show has become interesting only now with the new ML and after CC has moved into Manav's house. How much of the audience will come back ofcourse depends on the makers . But with DABH doing really well and the romance back in PR , I think the makers have a huge task on thier hand of bringing the audience back.

They had a good concept , extremely good actors (except for the ML which was a big mistake) but the makers really messed up the show in the first 2 months in all ways possible.

Lastly and this is my opinion, some good shows also have the same TRP as CC. If despite CC being crappy has managed these TRPs , there is no doubt that Sanaya is a star.

Thank you every one! Personally I think this too much preaching is getting to be a bit boring. No one wants to listen to advice unless it is from Aamir Khan!

Now that CC's personal strife has started I think audience should be interested. Problem is that the other Sony shows are also doing badly, so any amount of promotion on the channel is going to have a limited effect.

I also agree that a change of telecast timings may help(in fact have posted it to Sony as well) - they should move the show to 8.00 or 8.30 pm slot.

Despite being an international viewer...another thing here Id like to state and have been posting on Sony FB page is two things...


1) 5-day week...no doubt its doesnt matter to the count but how it affects a Friday viewer must be known to the broadcaster

2) English subtitles - Urban viewers need to decipher the language. Especially the Gujrathi dialogues.

Now lets take a lay viewer.

9 pm...dinner time/family time. Monday-Thursday watching CC...come Friday...will he/she put the TV off?

No...what does he do?...ofcourse change channel...and watch a cliff hanging episode of a seasoned show DABH or PV or whatever...

Come Monday he/she is back to watching what happens next...on the show they watched on Friday.

Secondly Friday being the last day of the week, all at home have their feet up after a hard days' work with dinner plates in hand...trying to unwind...

hence the channel has to see that the 9 pm slot (weekdays) needs a 5-day week. airing... with cliff hanging episodes on Friday...this is ONE of the ways to get your viewers back...

Hence the weekend shows on the same channel perform well as they have no competition during those time slots...

Just my POV...

Very good points...i think they were planning to move the time slot to make it 5 days a week...Sanaya sounded quite confident about that...don't know why they backtracked?

Also about the subtitles, there were a lot of posts on the forum complaining about that when the show started. Here in US we get the English subtitles on Sony if you switch on the closed captioning on your TV

Please tweet this to SnehaRajani on twitter...as these are more of channel decisions
