I was in two minds whether to comemnt on this post or not ...for one I could have just stated wht I feel (like most other's ) BUT the prb is with the past which I n "few" others would already know abt..inhibits the thinking process, albeit intermittently 😆N makes it tough to actually " voice out the vices "

Ok lemme give it a try


Vish why have u mentioned geet n QH from the under the stable of the PH n not their "cult fave " IPKKND ? Did u know there was a HUGE controveersy arnd every show from this PH, especially when it's nearing it's end ...it's like reviewing n revisiting the skeletons , which Obviously are not the " happy memories " types ...n yes IPKKND had the MAX issues arnd it , in fact if one talks abt the FAN POWER ...I think IPK would take the cake for the "positive " bid there ...

# geet was one of their first solo shows to have " hit a chord " way back in 2010 unfortunately when the PH had IPKKND n HHL running on the sister star network Channels, geet n star one , the then airing channel which was later on replaced with LOK was shut down in days ...star was flooded with mails, message and tweets but all feel on deaf ears ...n 2011 dec The show was shut down with the story being kept incomplete

# IPKKND in 2012 was an epic case in point ...there was a blame game WIth the lead actor n his " greener pastures" being used as a scape goat n the show was set to have a new lead ...n tht is when the fandoms had united to Keep the " eternal star crossed love story " intact n end The show with the leads ...n sure enough with in a week The show' was pulled off air , consequences be damned ..line up had suffered too ...
Pls note at this point the PH had another egg tht was hatched 😕

# QH ...had a similar upheaval with the lead actor quitting mid way ..n there was a lot of mud slinging ..however, The Channel did take a stand n kept it on air ..first WITN a new lead n second with a Leap 😆

N history repeats itself with HS ..but very early if we go by their standard..
My whole point in mentioning The above is to bring to ur notice tht biases can be fatal 😆

See HS is the only show I watch as of now ...n would love to see it " make it through " ...however the issue with all the above references is like one really can't single out whether it's the PH or The channel tht is at Fault or maybe both ...but it's like one of those zillion mysteries under The sky tht are defo too Hard to be " brushed aside " untill of course a "closure of sorts " is given 🥱...

Now with the new promos being aired n the PH landing up with " new projects " which would obviously need more team effort , going by their old standards ...it's tough to say wht will happen but yes ..making an effort to make urself heard definitely counts 👍🏼

PS AGN I don't know if u know this , but there are lots of "sources " arnd ...reach out to them if u can 😉

Hoping for the best
Cheers

Hey Ecri - Glad you posted in the end, i always enjoy reading your pov 😊

I don't know much about what happened in the past with previous serials as i have never watched them. Don't know what ikppnd is but nice to understand some history on what has gone on in the past. 😊

As mentioned, my post is pure speculation...only Allah knows what's going on in reality! All i know is I love watching humsafars and want the makers to tell their story. Bus yehi meri arzoo hai 😊

So what I think is with all the online support Humsafars is getting (and i really don't think i have ever seen anything like it for an Indian TV show to be honest), the channel is in a fix. They were probably intending to finish up with HS but if they do, the backlash is going to be unprecedented, especially since they are being accused (and quite rightly so) of showing partiality towards certain PHs. I am pretty sure in the background, there is some serious convo's going on behind closed doors. Four Lions is not some altu faltu prod house...it has massive massive hits like Geet and Qubool Hai under its belt. I am sure they are more than capable of turning a show around but the channel needs to support them. I think there will be one of two outcomes:

1) HS stays but the timing will change. BUT the PH needs a guarantee from the channel that they will promote the show.

2) The PH shifts the show onto another more accomodating channel. The issue with this option of course is that from a reputation perspective, this will look very very bad on SONY. It also ruins their relationship with Four Lions and other production houses will think twice before signing deals with Sony if there shows will be sidelined because of a special relationship with a certain PH.

SONY are in a unique situation with this show. Unlike Itti si kushi, poonam dhillons show etc is that they were able to shut them down without much issue from the fan base. But here, the actual fan base is enormous and heavily online. They need to be very very careful how they handle this. As an international viewer, why should I pay to watch SONY entertainment television if the shows i enjoy are removed because they aren't popular domestically? If they want to be a truly global channel, then they need to think globally as well. its terrible for their image to ignore the international audience.

In the meantime, i think the PH are doing everything in their power to ensure that they deliver on this serial, hence the increased involvement by seniors and changes to the team/responsibilities.

We are all not stupid to be supporting a TV serial which has nothing special about it. All of us genuinely have better things to do with our time. There has to be something about this serial which is bringing about such strong emotional responses from so many people who would generally never bother about such things (me being one of them)...it is a matter of principal.

Anyways, whether HS stays on Sony or not...Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost...



VD 👏 Awesome analysis as usual !
@red : I am sure they did not expect it, it is unprecedented. I said in another thread today that Sony will lose viewership if they shelve this show. Most of the HS fans will not return any time soon to Sony and worse they will get negative comments on social networking which might make them look worse. Once it is shelved (God forbid!) no one will remember that it was for the TRP's ...all that they will remember is that Sony stopped this show which was so loved, normally we remember only the impact and not the cause.

@blue : This is the most likely scenario. This is a win win for all , the channel , the PH and of course us. The channel gains respect and viewership, the PH gets to show what they really wanted to instead of compromising on the actual story line and we get to enjoy it . There is nothing wrong with having a grey hero. It might be the first time on Indian television ... but so what ? I hope the channel is asking themselves this question !

@green : This is a lose lose for Sony but a win for another channel and us. Issue though is will any other channel be willing to experiment ? Will they accommodate a show which has not drawn enough viewers on Sony ? This way the PH also loses because another channel may ask for another genre change and they butcher it even more. Its an interesting option but its not very probable.

@black : Sony are indeed in a complicated situation, but the way they handle it will show what they want, a good reputation or just TRPs , given the fact that there is no guarantee that any other show at that time slot will fetch them more TRPs.😕

And yes , we love the show for many reasons and we are not blind. Most of us watch it not just for one actor or actress but because this show has touched our heart in someway or the other.
The twittion petition has 143 signatures now, and it is on the 6th position of the highest signed petitions this month and today is just the 8th, I am sure we will make it to the top 5 there also.

But all said and done ... I agree with you , picture abhi bhi baki hai 😉

Hey Pearly - Thanks for the reply. Agree with your points. I am really interested to see how this is handled in the end. I work in the corporate world and am used to seeing ruthless decisions being made (i make them myself as well), but many times, you need to assess the situation around you and understand the consequences, then take the best course of action. I would also can the serial if TRPs are low and i may have a serial in my pocket that will earn me more. But would i can a serial which is creating so much publicity and is so popular with the non-trp international audience? I don't know if i would. I would try and figure out a win-win situation.

Yes i agree this ph causes such controversies that i cannot fathom...i am seeing from ipk days and that has left me in a sour taste...still i started watching HS as i am a die hard romantic... But this time ph was not even doing a great job...so i have nothing to say...lets wait and see..cannot spend too many emotions now as did last time for ipk

lovely post!
i love your posts😳 👏


- i believe sony has always known how famous humsafars is online and that it has many fans...i refuse to agree that they are in a fix now suddenly...

- sony ppl are a bunch of losers and thats exactly y they cudnt handle the channel...but now they want good ratings suddenly...so they teamed up with ekta kapoor and now mahesh bhatt and they also want jhalak dikhlaja...some readymade fame basically!

- i hope humsafars makes it though...but i dont have high hopes...because after a few mnths the channel and PH will say that show was pulled off due to low trps...no one will say that sony never bothered to promote it! or should i say sony never had the guts to!
Maybe i should say that mahesh bhatt's show airs at 8.30 on rival channel and sony doesnt want high trps against it...because all sony ppl know is bribing

ps - i wish gul never aired this show on sony tv! i cant take it that Sahir's journey will remain incomplete 😭

Very nice positive post! Wow you got so much info abt the show and yes if the show was that bad, so many ppl wouldn't be supporting and vouching for this show to not go off air! Hopefully all our efforts get paid off..and Maha SONY channel does something to keep the show running even if it is @ a different time slot.
And shutting down shows one after another is going to get the SONY channel a bad name as well. First " Itti si Kushi" which I followed unfortunately and now this...seriously, what if the supposed " ram kapoor" Wala show didn't work? They are going to shut it in months also?
Humsafars is coming from a Gul Khan I mean I still can't get over Geet and IPK.. The channel better do something...fast..
