I think these ppl do have creative brains but they lack in promotion and marketing skils..that is what is costing them TRPs.. look at quality of promo that they shoot..and see how other show shoot promos of their imp scenes..you will see the difference..thats it.. every show runs 5 day a week..they do equal hardwork but they dont often blabber about it in media ...
Hey Riti,
Agree that promotion sucks big time for IPK ...
But i think its poor planning this time around which has bitten them on their backsides ...
I don't think as a PH they were prepared for Barun Movie, Sanaya Jhalak, Daljeet quitting shockers ... + the writer is involved in one of the biggest fiction projects on TV "Madhubala" ...
, Nissar doing some other show ... 4 lions themselves pitching for more shows ( which requires full time participation of GUl & Gorky)
All serials undergo this ... look at the Diwali & Holi promotions they were bang on ... so its not that they don't know how to promote ... its that they are not prepared as a PH for growth & success ... happens all the time ( when there is sudden growth) ... as a ph they are struggling to keep themselves together ... & some times product suffers coz of this ...
SHIT HAPPENS ... hopefully they will survive the storm & come out fighting
Where they went wrong is that they don't have a capable team on set to work out the problems .. their director for the show sucks ... he is the most lazy director ever ... the on set production team is busy playing games or sleeping on the sets during shoot ... the direction team ( Asst. directors) i think are just not interested in the work.. The Post production team well i am reserving judgement on them as they can only work with matter they have (editors & mixing specialists) ... all these people are most important for he 22 mins we see ... if 4 lions can bring together a wonderful team here ... they are home with all their projects ..
But GH was the pits i agree ... he came across as a whiner ... so dude ur busy with 3 - 4 serials ... thats ur problem ... so dude u have bitten more than u can chew again ur problem ... also the PH should've stopped him from venting ... (while they went to town promoting his rant) since it looked more like airing dirty linen in public.
