Well, if that is the case, then he certainly took the fandom and consequences of tweeting lightly.

Looks like he doesn't know what happened to IPKKND bcoz of fandom or does not want to face it, thats why this desperation to sell Sultan!

Some times I feel that they wanted to fade out RK from the story that's why all the story has changed with Revenge plot.

They need to understand FANDOM!!! What can happen if fans get furious...just few days back one show got wrapped up due to same reason.

Have been feeling the same since Sultan's entry and his glorification. But ST had said in his interview that RK is the character closest to his heart. Why would he want to do this to his most favorite character?

Anyways, if that is what they are planning to do, then we will very soon see this once outstanding now turned into a dabba show in bin.

I am sure now our GENIUS makers who call us fools to not understand their story will come up with 100 justifications to show that they are still the only sane people while we are fools.

Sad that they won't be getting to see the mirror next week and continue to dish out crap because there won't be TRPs next week. *Sigh*

@Chakku: That is really sad. Either TRPs are high after 3 months with Rishbala/Sultanbala/Other-bala or Single-bala maybe even heroine-bala with the story being back on track or it is the end after 4 months with very low rating.

@Vipisa- I would love them to absorb something atleast from this week's TRPs and not repeat the same thing in future. Now their lead is also back and they don't have to serve us with fillers anymore.

18th - RK insults Madhubala in front of everyone as Sultan broke the windshield of his car and left a note for him. Madhubala goes to meet Sultan and tells him about her condition. She tells Sultan not to commit these kinds of things in future. (3.6)

19th -RK calls Madhubala under the influence of alcohol and asks her for the phone number of her lover. Madhubala disconnects the call. Meanwhile, Sultan comes at Madhubala's house and apologizes to her regarding his action of breaking RK's windshield (3.5):

20th - After learning the fact that the person he saved is none other than RK himself, Sultan takes out his gun to kill him, but somehow manages to stop himself. He drops RK at his house where Radha and Bittoo are waiting for him (3.4)

21st- RK switches off all the lights in the studio leaving just one spot light switched on. He questions Madhubala what is the name of the guy in her life. Madhubala, in reply, tells him that the guy he meets is Sultan and she doesn't have any relation with him. (3.3)

22nd - Sultan goes to stop some of his men from smuggling drugs, but his men conspire against him and try to kill him. Sultan, somehow, manages to put the drugs on fire and escape from there. Meanwhile, Sultan's servant drops Aryan at Madhubala's place and tells Madhubala that he is going in search of Sultan. (3.2)

23rd (saturday): 2.6

If the content creates TRPs, we have seen the results. They are still good. I wish they realise the lack of quality in the episodes without the TRPs falling down further.

Ok, here's my rambling thoughts on the TRPs.

This week's average TRP of 3.3 is not great, but it's still decent. Once again, I did my back-of-the-envelope trend chart for TRPs* and you can see the declining trend. Another couple of weeks of this, and people running the show are going to be saying "ouch"

(* caveats being- this is really rough, doesn't take into consideration a bunch of things like when new markets were added, digitized, etc etc)

I think that if the TRPs were actually reported next week, they would show a further drop (daily TRPs last week were dropping every day; its still the same track; and like many others, I found the show hard to watch this week!!)

So then I really got into the question of speculating what TRPs might be like for this week, and churned some numbers based on the Mon-Sat daily TRP trends for the last few weeks. And...my rough (data driven) forecast for TRPs this week is the 2.9 - 3.2 range. Which would be pretty sad for the channel/PH, if it actually came true...

Talking about this track, I can see why the PH introduced a new main character - doesn't make sense for a Mon-Sat show to run only based on two leads (burnout, burnout!!) Also, people have referenced IPKKND - and how it closed down because the male lead quit the show. I guess the MB folks don't want to be in the same position at some point, and are hence developing another lead, perhaps along the lines of an ensemble cast.

But what perplexes me about this strategy is how they have executed it. I would imagine that in a best case scenario, they would want to bring in new viewers, but also keep the core/base. But here, they seem to be antagonizing/turning off the base while bringing in some new viewers. Antagonizing the core base makes sense, if they think that the new viewer base that they swap in will be bigger than the old ones they swap out. Problem is, TRPs seem to indicate that there's not enough new takers for the new track to make up for the viewers who are put off, and are switching channels or shutting off their TV.

So, I guess the bottom line of my ramble is - this track needs to start making some sense sometime fairly soon…..

PS: thanks Tanzie for the TRP breakdown!
