Call me crazy, but I don't think Umaben is that bad!! I can tolerate her!! Atleast she is not a sourpuss like Bhabo!! 🤢 I can't stand such melodramatic saas!! Yikes!! 😲 Plus, the actress is much better at expressing than the other one!! Plus Umaben has funny one liners, she doesn't scare me as such!! 😊

Shreya - please don't presume to know my likes or dislikes nor my level of knowledge. I am well aware what and who makes up TRPs. Sony's ratings maybe poor, but there are shows that succeed on it. BALH and CID for instance. I am also not some blind Sanaya fan nor a moron who does not grasp the limitedness of the current audience sample size. Chanchan from day 1 has failed to deliver on its promise. The cat-mouse of Chanchan and Umaben is a total YAWN. There is very little new in it except the dog angle.

I am finding the comments here rather funny ... not to mention inane in many cases 😆

There are good shows which get decent TRPs.

There are good shows which get very poor TRPs ... case in point, most of the YRF shows which aired a couple of years back - Rishta.com, Mahi Way, Kismet ... Maryada, recently, Badalte Rishton Ki Daastan

There are awful shows which get great TRPs ... unfortunately too many to name

There are awful shows which get rock bottom TRPS ... also too many to name

If channels and PHs knew of a fool proof formula for success, all shows would have great acting, superb content, wonderful story lines and would all be hits. But that is not the case ... the Indian TV audience is huge and has varied tastes ... you can't expect a harried barely educated housewife in a small town or village to have the same taste in shows as an urban well-educated working woman in a metropolis. The former audience is much larger in number than the latter, hence shows catering to the former work more than the ones catering to the latter ... but that's not to say that the latter don't have any audience at all. What I find awful appeals to a different segment of the population ... what I like, others may find terrible. There is no absolute measure.

The same with movies - if people knew what would appeal to the audiences, all movies would be hits. They are not. There is an unpredictability in this business ... because the reactions of the audience are emotional and not rational or logical.

Also people watch different shows for different reasons. I watch Chhanchhan for Sanaya and because I like Chhanchhan's character, also I love dogs. Some people on this thread seem to watch Chhanchhan for the sole pleasure of dissing it 😆 I watch three other shows with varying interest because I like them for different reasons ... I don't watch any other love story, because currently I only connect to Sanaya in a love story. Considering I didn't know of Sanaya four years ago, I'm sure sooner or later I'll find another actress I can connect to and will enjoy her love stories as well.

So analysing the reasons for Chhanchhan's TRPs for us armchair critics, is in my humble opinion, pretty much a useless exercise. What we can as viewers point out is the flaws we see on screen ... if enough people see the same flaws, the makers might address them. One big flaw was the inability of the ex male lead to hold an expression other than one resembling a piece of furniture ... since a very large number of people pointed that out, he was replaced with an actor.

CC is not getting trp acc. to me this is in sony channel.So far i have not seen any show other than BALH has come within 5 .CC story is not that g8 and they have spent so much and expecting more TRP.I am watching this only for sanaya i am seeing her show from LRL.

There are many decent shows which have trps and some dont have even though their story is strong like maryada which had strong story and good cast.

Indian audience are huge and there are too many channel to entertain not only national we have regional channels too and they have good shows there .like in south huge percent of population dont watch star ,zee or colors they prefer and enjoy their regional shows.tastes differ from educated house wife to rural house wife. rural population is more than urban and they like family dramas and they pave to trps. not only rural even urban audience are divided. if youth like love stories then urban family audience like shows which are close to reality and natural.but the common point is rural or urban people like family drama only .that is the truth.we cant change it .therefore these shows gets high share of trps.

Coming to Chhanchhan's trps are low because of pale story line and execution.They have started the show stating clash of ideologies which is good concept but now it has become the war of saas and bahu for maanav which is not all different from other shows.



Show being in sony is not reason either because shows like BALH , CID and Crimepatrol were in top 5 shows .so story and execution should be strong . from monday execution has improved hope it improves more and bring trps to the show. makers has a tough time to attract audience .As fans we love and adore sanaya but simply we cant watch the show which lacks substance. i think many of her fans from 2 previous shows are not watching it because shows lacks substance that is strong script.

What an absolute brilliant write up and much needed..👏 Every show that is not bookmarked for a specified amount of episodes is bound to have its highs and lows...and I hope viewers do understand that...

I was never drawn to serials prior to Sanaya's previous show. Being a fabulous and versatile actress I am now an ardent fan of Sanz...Its a sheer joy watching the Lady on screen...

Apart from Chhanchhan I have started to watch another show...and NONE of the actors appeal to me apart from one Senior Female Artist... who is not even the lead... yet I watch it for its content...though not every episode is appealing... and has its flaws as well.

For content driven entertainment I have found it in Pakistani dramas...and this despite being an Indian...

Whether it is to do with content, characterization, sets, costumes, or dialogues, looks (as some characters never age in TV time)...to expect perfection in a daily soap would be just plain silly!

For me Chhanchhan is as Real as It can...a feel good show...and what more can I ask for when it has my ONLY favourite actor Sanaya Irani!

P.S. Diya you might think of putting up your comments as an individual post...Maximum numbers of viewers, and passer bys need to read and understand...

Thank you for such a wonderful write up...

I'm only referring to the scene when she brings one of the dog in sasural on her very first night and her family encouraged her, were they so inexperienced or innocent to judge that when old and new traditions confront, there will be lots of adjustments to be made? Which mother allows her daughter to make wrong impression on her new family on her very first day, infact night of her wedding?????????????

I agree with most of your post ... EXCEPT the bold. The current TRP topper show was supposed to be about a woman following her dreams of studying and becoming a career woman, and her husband supporting her ... I started watching it in the hope it would show how a modern girl balances work and home life in a realistic way and how her husband supports her. It degenerated into a typical saas bahu show where for the last two years the girl has been only trying to prove to her saas that she is an ideal bahu, and thus get permission to study ... while the husband supports her privately but is too meek to stand up to his mother strongly for his wife. So for me, it did not hold to its original premise and I stopped watching it. But it is the current topper ... go figure 😛

If CC also degenerates into the same type of show, of Umaben bullying CC into leaving the house, and Chhanchhan proving that she is ideal bahu and thus staying on, I will probably lose interest. But so far, it does seem to be slightly different ... I agree with ankitamishra's post above that CC is showing how a modern girl can deal with her MIL without breaking into tears at the drop of a hat ... and can show her that new ways are good and should be adopted.

Remember that it is only the first day of CC in her new home, the real story has barely started. On the first day itself, CC has used the rotimaker and internet to solve two problems - I think that is pretty good going. 😃

Being modern does NOT only mean wearing modern clothes and fighting to do so ... that is what all the youngsters seem to think and that is where they are wrong. Being modern means using your intelligence and education in the right way ... and in the context of the show - to look at traditions and customs, see what is right and what is wrong, retain the right ones, and drop the wrong ones. That will be the ideological battle that the makers have promised.

Like the pallu wearing ... CC is wearing the pallu not because she believes in it herself, but because it's the custom in the house, and she has no objection to wearing it. But if it interferes with her work, then she should be allowed to drop it. We've already seen Umaben's hypocritical stance on it - she doesn't believe in it, but Babuji does ... so it doesn't seem to be a custom as such, but only one enforced by Umaben for her own reasons.
If Umaben says CC cannot use modern gadgets in the kitchen to make housework easier, that is wrong, and she should speak up against it.
If CC goes back to work ... which I hope she will, that is where she should drop the pallu, and the saree as well ... because they are unsuitable clothes for her work. If Umaben objects to her working, that is where she should protest.

I totally agree with you there! I thought it was really silly of Daadi to ask for that ... if it had been Manav himself it would have been more understandable!

Thank you for such a wonderful write up...

Thanks, Diana 😛 I think most makers and actors also moan about the problems of daily soap making ... unless you have a huge team for writing, acting and editing etc, it's physically impossible to make sure the quality of a daily soap stays consistent ... creativity is not like a tap that you put it on and off ... and the daily deadlines make things much tougher. I read an interview from a senior actress recently who has just returned to daily soaps after a long gap, and she was saying how much tougher life is now for TV artistes ... The daily soap output has grown tremendously, but the backroom support - writers, directors, creatives have not grown with it. And the actors are the face of the shows, they have to take the bad writing, poor direction and screenplay and present it with all the flaws to the audience and try to make it look good, that too with the last minute deadlines and changes ...

That's why for content, I look to the weekly soaps ... Pakistani or Western ... Indian soaps are just mindless entertainment for the most part ... once in a while you get a really good soap, but mostly they are illogical and full of unbelievable or irritating characters ... I enjoy what I like, and ignore the rest. I love watching Sanaya on screen, she brightens up my day ... so I watch Chhanchhan. I like her character too, that's a bonus. I don't like Umaben, so I crib about her 😆

Well I dont agree with a fact ki Anuj's entry is the saving grace of this show... Pleaseee stop saying that... We dint even know him at the first place... Chanchan's execution suckss... Storyline is not gripping... It's not Sanaya's fault at all as she herself said it would have clicked if it would be the same thing which was narrated to her n she alone cannot make TRP's go high... She is not Salman Khan to do that... Moreover this is television... Here people's views change every second.. It's all about storyline.. If it connects with the audience, then Show works, if it doesn't show will not work... People have always accepted n loved Sanaya in love stories n even this is new for her... So, it's obvious either it will take time for her n her fans to accept in her awatar especially after watching her fantabulous chemistry with Barun in IPKKND... Being a die hard Sanaya fan, it is unacceptable for me to like her in Saas Bahu shows... It's not Sanaya's forte y for sure... Anuj is being liked because he has good chemistry with her unlike FK... But he has nothing to do with increasing TRP's of the show... This is television n the whole show needs to be accepted not just an actor... Sanaya is a talented person only thing is she needs a right show n CC is not worth it... basss
