In my view the 2 reasons for low TRPs to this show r:
1. The time slot. In my personal view, there is no show on TV tht can match gulaal no matter what time it is aired but as far as the broader perspective is concerned, we cannot deny the fact tht the housewives in our country esp our older generation (no offence meant honestly) still somehow clings on to the daily mirch-masala-pakwaan-shaadi-isney kaha-usne kaha-amma ji-dada ji-honour issues kind of daily stuff.. probably that is what they can relate to more for certain genuine reasons.. so a certain director is deliberately targetting and reinstigating such stuff as it is relatively easy to create, recreate, stretch and overstretch such petty dramas on a daily basis rather than creating a masterpiece like gulaal tht requires some "thinking" (which the other shows continue to evade)... So, having said tht, a certain Pavitra Rishta takes away most of the TRPs of other shows at 9 (although to me, it is a show i wud love to avoid even if it becomes the only show to be aired 24X7 on all the channels thruout the world🤢). So, a different time slot for the show, instead of re-re-re-repeating other dramas can work on the TRPs part.
Agreed.
For your point about older generation with stricter values. could be.😊
2. Another major reason for low TRPs for Gulaal is the stepmotherly treatment given to this show as far as the promotion is concerned.. if one misses out on the 9 pm and 12 pm telecasts, u may never find out tht show is still running on the channel or not.. such non-existent are the promos of the show. .whereas for all the other shows of SP, every week they have a new promo regarding their sabji-raita-tadka-dessert fiasco etc etc... Gulaal is a breath of fresh air in the world of indian soaps.. jst wish the channel promoted it tht way
Sufficient re-runs. Or they cover the whole week episodes over the weekend.
Uff.. still haven't been able to put up with "Gul ending" news... Kunaal would say:
Chain aye mere dil ko dua kijiye..
