Why did the online trp of week 34 drastically fall from 1.6 to 0.9?

Week 34 :Saturday 17th August to Friday 23rd August

Sat 17 Aug-everyone discovers the identity of daitya vanar,shikhar is revealed to be the villain and betraying DD all along to the audience,drikshit betal challenge ,the sisters lose the 2nd challenge as shikhu steals the kamandal from them and divya loses her powers

Sun 18 Aug -rakshit confession and stops dri from leaving(ok this episode was really good),rakhi celebrations and audience get to know pi has planted a bomb in shergill office (a negative twist waiting for the next weekend)

My analysis:

1.Shikhar turning out to be the villain and was betraying the sisters all along and even his love for divya was fake...this revelation had a profound impact. The twist was unexpected but NEGATIVE.

2.The drikshit scene in the rangmunch theater with betaal..everyone which had seen the pic on insta (the leaked pic of the sunset scene)..was expecting a confession sequence and there was nothing.

The Saturday episode itself was very meh .

3.Yes the Sunday episode was quite good.The highlight being rakshit's confession and drikshit romance. (The ratings must have been good for this episode. )

Rest of the episode was okayish with the celebrations but again one more negative twist with pi planting the bomb.

Unlike other shows,the online audience knows that in this show,whenever a danger or problem occurs..the villain always wins.

the first ratna pi won..fine.the next one also?not done.

The cvs have to realise people hate seeing the villain win.they hate it.

4.And people who were very disappointed with Saturday episode might not have watched sundays episode..a 10 min drikshit scene and romance can only do so much.

If that scene played out in Saturday's episode itself..maybe this much fall wouldn't have happened.

5.Sunday's online ratings must have been good thanks to the drikshit scene but the total online trp is the average of the 2 episodes.

Yes drikshit is the main reason people watch the show but the general tone of the show is negative .with the good side losing again and again and the villains winning.The show has not cared to show one moment of peace/happiness for the sisters or drikshit.

Last weekend episodes were worse than this(week 36-episode on 24th and 25th August)..I know online trps are unpredictable but if you ask me the online trps are going to fall further down from 0.9.

Biggest thing mockery of independence day

In reality there is no value goodness

I have not watched DD in hotstar for a long time and hence is not a part of online TRP provider. But sadly for me the show has lost it's charm. I haven't watched the complete episode for the past 3 weeks (just make do with the insta clips and written update). Even the lolipops do not entice me!

Drikshit 'feels' was lost to me after the fake marriage. The show is more than Drikshit, I understand. But the plot too lost its grip with the stupid actions by the main characters who seem to lack even basic intelligence for counter attacks.

The lack of interest is very evident in the forum itself, AT and EDT hardly move a couple of pages, there is no WU, no serious discussion happening.

Hi , remember me i was on Nazar forum. I think lava rakshit marriage had spoiled this show jaise Ruby -Ansh marriage had spoiled Nazar in beginning only. ITV mein ye trend hai Villians ko hi winner dikhana ky kar sakte hai. if leads do some effort then all fruit will be for villians.

Yup I do remember. 😊

RuAnsh marriage was a great blow coz we kept expecting something would happen to stop it until the last moment! I left the show when the concept of 3D was ruined and Mo became the Supreme character. The same trend is what keeps me away from DD now. I can accept the initial victory to the antagonist, especially when he or she has more experience/knowledge in fighting mean. But it is disappointing when the good sides loses again again and more than that make stupid mistakes.

There is this Mal show (similar to Kulfi) which I hated when the girl was weepy and self sacrificing. But now when the vamp side's attempts get thwarted despite the plotting I find the show interesting despite there being not much of a momentum in the story. So yeah most of us want to see the victory of good over evil.

Moreover I feel there should be a time gap with normal life between attempts. Here all we see is parties, poojas and celebrations which is always interrupted by Pi. The inconsistency in the use of powers and uninspiring support characters and dialogues do not encourage me to watch the show.

Exactly. Pisachini winning every damn time is giving a very negative vibe..and its disturbing. Last weekend episode when DD was solving all the hurdles and challenges for the 3rd ratna .I was literally rolling my eyes..because its 200% sure ultimate victory will be pishachini's!

Who will spend their good 40 mins to watch the evil win every time?

The few people who still sit through all that get only lollipops and breadcrumbs of drikshit scenes.i dont know if mukta dhond realises this or not,but drikshit is the last chance for this show.if she ruins them..then there is no hope for this show

Hey you are talking about vanambadi right?oh anumol gets on my nerves.and that core selfish valiyachan and valiyamma.

The entry of mahi has given new life to the show.now everyone I know watch the show for mahi.i love all his scenes and his rocking bgm too(tatara tarara tatara tarara😉).actually I've always liked the actor..from the time he played the lead in ente manasaputhri..an old show on asianet.have you watched?his chemistry with sofi was AMAZING back then

This...how many times we've pleaded to mukku to show some normalcy ..but no.she never ever listens.this is where naagin season 1 won the audience hearts and became trp topper.i dont think she will ever understand!

P.S miss you in the forum indu!

And here we are all happy that Shikhar is dead and the trps started going downPs.He was live on instagram today it made my day llol 🤣

I thought it's clear from the main post that trps were low for those episodes where shikhar had a lot of screentime as shikhar and daitya vanar.

The low trps are not for the last 2 episodes of 24 and 25 August.

Wohoo!!! Didn't know you were a mallu🤗

Yeah I was talking of vanampadi. I watch it with my mom these days coz of the setback 'Pappi's group' get which is very satisfying. Feel really bad for Mohan,being cheated by his bro, sil and daughter! I remember 'manasaputri' though I didn't watch it. My mom used to watch. The show has become interesting with Mahi's entry.. I guess it may go for a leap after a while coz once a show gains audience it goes on for ever and ever even in malayalam channels!

The concept of death and resurrection on the 13th day (as mentioned in a spoiler) could actually give a new spark to the show if utilized properly. I wouldn't mind Drikshit separation or memory loss if the creatives would give a proper development to their relationship with this twist.

PS: I too miss my days of being active in the forum. But I feel too frustrated with the senseless characterization and twists.
