DSJZ vs Bigg Boss (The reason for Low TRPs)

The biggest mistake Star Plus did was competing against Biggie show like BIGG BOSS.
Firstly how do you expect any newbie show to fight against a reality show like BIGG BOSS... Popularity and the fan following of Bigg Boss is very huge and vast.
According to me the reason for constant low trps was the competition against Bigg Boss. Logically the fate of the serial should have been decided once Bigg Boss was wrapped up as the channel would have exactly known the popularity of the show.(I personally expected that)
Logically speaking the channel should have given DSJZ at least a month's time to see the changes in the trp after Bigg Boss wrapped up. Due to Hotstar viewers could access the new episodes early at 6.00 and Bigg Boss was something which wasn't available before the air time hence the viewers had no other option but to watch it at 10.30 everyday.
I reckon the marketing team has failed miserably and Star Plus had lost an unusual show with an amazing star cast because of it's poor decision making. DSJZ never got it's fair opportunity to establish itself.
If you analyze the channel could have shifted Ishaqbaaz at 10.30 as it was already a well established show and could have given DSJZ a 10 pm slot to establish itself and gather some fan following. But the channel wasn't ready to let the TRPs of an already established show get affected and hence a newbie show...our show had to bear the cost..
I don't understand how come the team at Starplus couldn't analyze this simple thing about the competition against Bigg Boss.
The mistake could have been rectified by changing the time slots but no a decision to shut the serial was already been taken which according to me was something our show ddnt deserve.
Is there not even a single logical person working at Star Plus? And don't they take Hotstar viewership into consideration ? I hope there is an open end so that the serial will be be able to come up with another season to do justice to the storyline and the original serial...


The mistake made by the makers was by not coming to the point.. initially the story was fast paced. The marriage happened in 10 episodes which was a good sign. Honeymoon didn't require 5 days... Could have been wrapped in 2 days... Then you waste 2 weeks on just Anant and his anger which was not necessary. I had read the 52 episodes of our Hindi version had just covered the 9 episodes of the Turkish version. Makers should learn that dragging ultimately leads to shutting shop. Imagine where the story would have been today if the dragging hadn't taken place!
The biggest looser here is the story and the amazing star cast who could have done justice to the original storyline... Shame Starplus... Thanks for making me believe that Hindi TV serials are just waste of time.


The reason why all the foreign tv series become successful and work is because they give more importance to the storyline and not the TRPs! Reframing a know statement... Content, Execution ka peecha karo TRPs and Popularity Z*#$* marke peecha karegi!! We have some amazing examples like GOT, Breaking Bad, Ever green Friends, our very own Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai... Learn India! We need a TV revolution and I hope it happens sooner..

So true. Maybe over the next few days star plus will see better viewership, and they bring back DSJZ season 2.
Amazing how they didn't realize that the TRP's were affected because of Bigg Boss.

One episode of the turkish show is 2 hours long and 1 episode of dsjz is 20-21 mins long. So 1 episode of ask-i-memnu is 4-5 episodes of dsjz. Going by that they didnt drag much.
I think the makers were waiting for big boss to end to start the main storyline. So they put 9-10 episodes as filler episodes.
Lets see the trp for the next 2 weeks. I dont think it will increase much since the time slot also changed.
People who are used to watching it on hotstar will continue like that since its more convenient.
The only hope is if the online viewership increases and the show must gain a strong fan base in the next 2-3 weeks. If they go by the original and have an open ending there will be hope for s2 but if they opt for a different ending and end it with anant ahana then the show will be done for good. If they do like that jo bache kuche fans hai woh bhi chale jaayenge

Yes that is the main reason.Even I was surprised that then decided to air it at same time as Bigboss.Earleir it was air in August they postponed it and then I thought may be they will air it in dec or Jan.After waiting for 1 yr as the pilot was shot in Nov feel very bad for all actors, technicians who have worked so hard to bring a quality show which was so well directed and acted by all actors.I had my apprehension as I had seen the original show so even i was surprised how did they okay it when they couldn't support it.

It makes no sense, as to why they changed the time. Star Plus does it on purpose so it can get worse TRPs and then they have a dumb reason to end it. They shouldve given Indias Next Superstars weeknight slot of 5:30pm or 6:00pm instead of such a late slot and killing off Dil Sambhal Ja Zara.

even if this show would not have competitors I would never strike a chord with audience... Indian audience is not still matured to accept this subject about extra marital affair
they are still struck with saas bahu saaga🥱...

sp just loves to spoil foreign shows 😡

if thr show manages to grab eye balls by the next 2 weeks there are slight chances of s2.
Star plus mostly give 2nd chances to shows. I remember naamkaran was supossed togo offair but they didnt end it. At that time it didnt even have the fan following that it has now due to the new star cast.
They let pow, tamana and everest run till the end even thpugh episodes were cut down. None of fhese shows wefe ended abrupt like dsjz
also maryaada had 2-3 controversial topics and still it ran for so long.
