donjas, the maximum trps were around the ben track and after that we never reached that high..and look at the quality of ben track..what was that?..trp janta is highly unpredictable..and even this weak we had TE but so less screen space except for friday's episode..TE will stay and he will be at the driver's seat with jodha in control of the other wheel and his biggest support other than dek!..and the cvz will juggle between TE and chugal mughal sbs..they will not entirely show one thing it will be more of a balanced act is what i believe..now look at mahabharat it was not female oriented and still it rocked..and if we look at the last week's trp still it is not bad and the mind blowing episode was just one day the rest were okayish if not mind blowing!..and believe me aunties loved the wednesday episode..i spoke to my relatives in india and they all loved it!..and above all it has been number one for two consecutive weeks isn't that a new record for JA?
Great points but I don't know why everyone keeps bringing up Mahabharat as some kind of great success. It was only in the last 4 weeks that it managed great ratings. It got terrible ratings for most the year that it ran. MB is a perfect example of a serial that has taken over the mantle of success for it's performance over just 4 weeks ignoring all that happened before.
Let's be honest. STAR has some kind of problem over the past 2 weeks because JA's 8.9 would only have got it a 3rd position on most occasions and even there we just pipped Kumkum.
Last's weeks rating. Maybe the bloodshed level was unpalatable for the TRP aunties, or Jalal's brutal behavior(for those who don't know history or have not seen the movie) or maybe it was Maham's curses. Whatever the reason, had it been any other serial, the death of 2 main characters would have caused a big bump in ratings. Even the cast and crew of JA must have been disappointed at the ratings, that is why there were no congratulatory tweets this week.
I believe a big chunk of the audience has left JA over the past few months because of abysmal tracks. To get this audience back a big buzz is needed. Only some big romantic quotient can provide that.
