What the hell is this intense, dark, drama that people want to see? And how many people belong to this category, obviously the general public did'nt like it?? Their TRP's were 1.4 for heaven's sake, even two weeks after their Aug wedding. Are the CVs' catering to that minuscule population?
Me too in same mood. The TRP churning audience is the general public: young to middle aged married women, family audiences, who in no way can buy this RK turning back to revenge track. Its only a certain small group of people, may be a young age group of 16-26 who are in for this dark and intense love story. I belong to this age group, and trust me there is no way I can bring myself to accept this revenge track. Its beyond understanding for me. Its a different case if he turns evil with a justified track. But if revenge theory is true, more than half of what the show has aired until now, becomes a facade. How are we supposed to take it as viewers? I mean, we vested so much time and emotions into these two characters.
And you are right Soundarya, when you say that dark and intense tracks become too stressful for viewers. People watch daily soaps for entertainment. Not for taxing their brain. I believe, the general public was not too happy with RKs character and the torture he gave to Madhu. Honestly, no body can relate to such a character. So, I guess makers had to change the track and bring in the lover story. That is when they got the TRPs. Gansesha track was the turning point for MEIEJ on TRP charts. And I am sure show will go downhill again if revenge track starts.
