I too am trying to be optimistic about this track, but remember how we all raved and ranted after the unwedding track, and tried to look at some grand excuse on RK part, but it was just revenge for the 4 slaps, similarly, I hope this is not going to be damp squib and be what is being shown every thing at face value..😕
what the CV need to remember is that it took then a lot of effort to turn around the show after the last unexpected twist, and they should not repeat the same mistake again and hope to recover as they were lucky last time only because the story still revolved around rishbala. if it revolves around sultan, they will certainly loose it. They were kind of saved by the skin of their teeth the last time and have still not learn their lesson, I think they are living the persona of who RK was in the benign, you instead of VD getting in the character, they CV now have not worrying about the consequences..😆, and it will take a storm like madhu in the form of low TRP or worse for them to change...😕
The only logical excuse I can thing of for the Cvs to dragging this show is DD continued participation in JDJ, which is giving tough competition and asking for a lot of commitment form the participants


Sorry.. I can't relate because I never thought that way at that time. I understood it was RK's revenge without waiting for any excuses or justification to come from RK's side. The only thing the show needs to recover from is the clunkiness Bhai spread all over the show with his entry and his many failed story lines. And I believe it will take time to clean 5 months old crap. I guess this track will end just before the end of this month.

After the unwedding Bji and Rji were with Madhu, but after this latest divorce no one will be there for her . Bji and Rji probably start hating her. Madhu is going to left alone and Sultan may take advantage of the situation.

@Bold. exactly.That is where this dragged track is leading.They go slow for fear of TRP'. It is not about JDJ. It is about the twist of changing the lead inapparent. If encouraged with stable TRP's of 2- 2.5 story will be around Sultan and Madhu. with an occasional glimpse of devdas R.K.


aisa kuch nahi hoga 😆

sorry folks but Madhu divorcing RK and Madhu with Sultan are two very very different situations..Madhu can divorce RK, they may separate but Madhu will never go to Sultan under any circumstance..and she made it clear on Sat. that Sultan will have to pay a heavy price for doing this to her...he will not get away with it..

Exactly!! 👍🏼
Rishbala may separate for a while but that won't give way to any other kind of Bala.

Guys, there's no need to get het up about any ramifications for any character other than RK and Madhu beyond this current track.
This track - as interminably boring as it definitely is - is the last track of Sultan.
Even when they were trying to maintain focus on that character, it was with Madhu or with RK or with both RK and Madhu. There have never been any takers beyond an extremely minuscule faction in mass-audience terms for the Sultan character.
This current track is not about focussing on that character, but rather focussing on Madhu's travails by portraying him as negative as possible, thereby compensating for the negative mass-audience reaction to her months of cordial conduct towards the other guy.
This is purely about trying to mend the damage done to Madhu's image during the colossally failed attempt to use her to get the other guy accepted by the mass-audience.
Unfortunately, in trying to portray Madhu's helplessness to get sympathy for her, they are managing - yet again - to create a track evoking disgust.
We just need to endure it - by skipping episodes if need be - and hope that the next track (without Sultan) manages to actually be interesting rather than constantly and mistakenly promoted as such.
The best reassurance we have for the next track is that the long rope the sponsors had given channels (and which we have felt the misuse of with successive mass-unpopular tracks in MEIEJ) is at an end.
Channels are now using TVT. But sponsors are still sticking with TRP, and may or may nor *also* consider TVT.
Sponsors decide how much mass-interest a track has, and then decide how much to pay for the ad-slots in between that show's episodes.
Channels tried to have a confrontation and function without ads - twice. They had to cave in both times, as lack of ads even for a few days is a loss that hits right at financial viability.
Sponsors have given very little time to channels to raise viewership of their shows. Thereafter, ad-slots will not be accepted in shows with less than excellent viewership.
The current 'interesting' track to wrap up the Sultan character - and mend the damage done in such a backfiring gamble to the female lead's character - is in the final duration of sponsors tolerance.
Immediately after this, the channels will have to focus and prioritize on TVT (channels-acknowledged) and TRP (sponsors-acknowledged) for all shows, to ensure viewership of each show on weekly basis is satisfactory by sponsors standards.
Earlier, sponsors would accept part of the loss by accepting ad-slots in shows that were not getting excellent mass-audience interest. They will very shortly no longer be doing so.
So channels are going to have to prioritize the financial bottomline (regardless of PR statements) rather than the cachet of doing something 'different', if that 'different' doesn't look sure of being very popular with mass-audience.
While this may not get critical acclaim for channels content, it will benefit them financially in negotiating ad-slots pricing with sponsors, depending on just how excellent the viewership is for a show's episodes on weekly basis.
On the downside, the tracks may become more run-of-the-mill.
On the upside, no channel will be able to afford five months of trying to shove a character onto the mass-audience the way that was tried with such fortunately immense lack of success in MEIEJ in these past months.
And considering the endurance marathon these past several months of tracks that caused such a large segment of mass-viewership to lapse, the downside is made well worth it by the upside.
On such terms, the next track will need to be not something that they think might be interesting to the mass-audience, but rather something they can guarantee will be very popular with the mass-audience.
Hopefully 'interesting' will then actually be the case (especially compared to the current track) rather than the case of mistaken promotion it currently appears to be.😊

Do you really think people will watch the show if RK is shown as a sidekick and Madhu staying with Sultan for whatever reason?There is so much negativity for this track i don' think so Cvs will take this suicidal route of showing Sultan and Madhu.

I only said it will be around Madhu and Sultan but not as a pair .CV's are too smart to take that suicidal move.Perhaps Madhu taking revenge on Sultan or whatever but as of now R.K won't have major role if TRP's allow.He has already been stripped of his celebrity status, looks. charm. intelligence and presented like a foolish habitual criminal. Without actual screen space Sultan is all powerful. And With Paddy out of show where will Madhu practically go? Sleeping with Enemy ? My guess. I only visit Media thread. I might be wrong. My curiosity is how they are going to survive with this very clever destruction of R.K/RM which was known as show's pivotal strength. In the end for last 1 or 2 scenes it will be RM. But the path might have a different story. But then I repeat it all depends upon TRP's.


plz yaar..there will be no takers for a track like this...🤢 lets predict on the basis of what they're showing ...we don't know what's in store for us, but till the time this idiocy happens, we can think positive...

That is my curiosity and want to watch TRP's I surely can't take it. What of audience who enjoy a spicy drama sans logic and who is not concerned about R.K's intelligence or R.M. chemistry?. The show targets such group. There must be behind the screen compulsion for the makers to turn this show a complete nonsense.. and it could be with male lead..If the focus is on the heroine and Villain who destroyed her, majority of TRP viewers might accept.Vivian fans who fall in the younger age group continue to watch albeit with grudges. Rishbala fans also stick with the hope of them reuniting as Sulbala is ruled out . Only minority viewers like me who are not regular soap viewers and disgusted with the politics behind the show exit. They are prepared to take that risk. But the interesting factor is this move needs a talented actor with oodles of charm😊. Unwedding survived only of the actor's performance. Let's watch.


what politics dear? i didn't understand?

no ! audience never enjoy drama without logic. and how are you so sure ke aisa hi ho raha hai? wait for it to happen first !

behind the screen compulsion to turn this show into nonsense? which sane person wud like his business to shut down ?
