@bold red exactly!
If this itself is not clear and (if) PH is taking all the shots what is giving them assurance that Pakrat is demanded from audience?
Few things -
When a show is running, the actors' popularity is also seen.
Jitne reels Bhatts banaate hain utna koi nahi banata.
Now with Tanmay Aria in the show, take a look at the no. of times the kids are involved in their reels. I don't mind the fun angle really - everyone deserves to have fun and be happy with their work.
Even if we say that offscreen doesn't impact on screen it does. And post Samrat's death I haven't really seen many reels or posts of Sairat together. Initially they did promote but not after Neilwarya marriage. The frequency decreased.
Then Smart Jodi happened. Theek hain different show same channel. Idhar bhi popularity quotient badh gaya ( no offence)
And now both have decent following plus the craziest number of reels and press releases they put out. Kids ke saath bhi daalte hain - Tanmay ke saath bhi dekhe hain kaafi maine.
Even if they post ghum starcast ke kitne comments hote hain unke post. Even that kiddo Tanmay comments. Compare this with Ayesha's posts Sachin comments, Sid comments, Tanvi does, at times Kishori.
Inke dynamics yeh hi jaane. Usmein koi dikkat nahi hai mujhe.
Bhatt couple is smart. Apni offscreen jodi aisi thopi hain reels thru ki now even the channel and makers have forgotten ki Ghum was at a time Sairat's story.
It is all about popularity.
And these people earn through reels too. Inka kuch nahi bigadta.
More than story it has become business, how to churn max profit and popularity quotient Nielwarya ka jyada hain. And Vanku hit jackpot with 1 or 2 shock twists, it worked so now they are following the same strategy.
Though I don't have evidence of how this lobbying is playing out , but i can't keep my logic aside.
Thoda 2+2 karenge toh bold and bold red samajh aayega.
It is not story. It is popularity and business.
Now that they have lost the set, it is also about recovering their losses.
In fact I also had an experience of few casting calls - inka pehla sawaalon hota hain - IG aur FB pe kitne followers hain? This is how they start. Unko iss cheez se bhi lena dena nahi ki acting aati hain ya nahi.
And that's also @bold blue the reason that I often refrain from calling out the writers. I've seen many great ideas see the dustbin.
Even at my current job, I gave such great one liners for a product, but CEO was not convinced despite several attempts from the marketing manager. Usne apni chalaayi and we got the results as expected (the idea tanked đ)
I recently spoke at rotary youth club event - waha bhi I told the same thing - if you are an emotional writer, trust me it is going to be a hellish ride cz emotions jaatein hain dustbin mein. After a point it is all business.
Enter this business of writing if you are thick skinned. Bcz no matter what masterpiece you write, iske baad sab promotion aur marketing hi hain.
And it is clear who is promoting themselves more from the entire Ghum gang.
So popularity and constant hammering wins!
P. S : It had to come out this way đ call me pessimistic I don't mind. But this is how majority of the brains work in media business.
SM was the trend breaker par ab that too has become the same with paid partnerships and brand collaborations. Kyunki TV film wale iss pe bhi utar aaye hain toh dimag wahi hain medium alag hain. Quality dimag se aati hain, medium se nahi!
