Okk...as we can see as the trp chart is out there are numerous posts explaining why the trp is falling down . There were some sensible & logical posts & as well as some funny ones too claimimg Rishbala's "PDA" losing Bhai ka "Mehnat se kamayi hui" trp 😲,🤣 U see an alag che opinion šŸ˜† So I was just thinking to pour 2 cents from my side too šŸ˜›

The question first came in my mind what does trp audience watch a show for ? Audience watch any show for the LEAD COUPLE mainly . No place of arguements here . Audience enjoyes the lead couple interacting with each other, be it fighting , hating , loving or as some ppl named it , doing "PDA" . Doesn matter what some handful of ppl think , the truth will be this only . Audience enjoyes the tracks where the leads r falling in love with each other or against any odd standing together as a strong bond & in leisure time do "PDA" . This is the main reason behind the high trp of any show which is showing the lead couple standing with each other in every situation , bounded by a strong vow of love . & thats what explains the 4+ trp MEIEJ used to fetch once . If we see the whole journey of MEIEJ till now we can see some specific periods in term of trps .

1st . The Madhu-Mukku period .
At first Madhu-Mukku story too failed to fetch trp - reason is simple that time track wasn't revolving around the lead couple Rishbala .

To save the sinking ship CVs got Rishbala married by those epic 4 pheras & then the storyline started to revolve totally around Rishbala & see the magic it did !

2. Rishbala post 4 phera wedding period

Not only according to me , but according to trp charts too this was the golden era of MEIEJ . The story focused on the lead couple only & no doubt audience loved those Rishbalalicious episodes 😳Be it RK & Madhu bajaoing ek duje ka band šŸ˜† or starting to feel for each other post Ganpati visarjan 😳 or be it their whole episode long "PDA" post KC night ā˜ŗļø . Audience NEVER got bored of Rishbala . Till the story highlights the lead couple audience remain glued to the show . Even that absurd villege track got good trp though there was nothing but Rishbala's "PDA" only . Even after unwedding drama everyone just peeped in to see what's in store for their lead couple now . & if I'm not wrong the drunk confession night at studio too fetched 4+ trp . That's where the audience's interest lies . Again & once again a track revolving around their lead couple only .


3. Post Sultan entry period .
Everything was going fine , viewers were still watching the show in a hope their Rishbala will soon reunite , but just then CVs introduced a character announcing him to be a "third angle" & half of the viewers lost interest , as it was a clear indication no Rishbala story, as they wanted, waiting for them. Sullu Miyaan jumped IN the show from his epic pond & audience's interest flew OUT through open window . & with it the poorly written & portrayed character , which is nothing but full of clunks 🄱 The criminal but "golden hearted" concept itself was a self contradicting absurd disaster. & to accomodate him , the leads got butchered like hell . The idealistic , justice favoring Madhu suddenly started to save a gangster from law & his well deserved punishments just bcoz he has a stammering child 😳 & so that Sullu can deliver all women ki izzat & all bla bla dialogue , the witty , smart , intelligent RK was suddenly demoted to a mere psycho 🄱 Audience does not like to see any side kick in more light than the lead couple . Period ! & thats what happened with MEIEJ . When the so called "third angle" was desperately being presented as a "golden hearted" man & the leads as dumb & psycho audience couldn take it anymore . They just gave up . Then again to save the sinking ship CVs clutched Rishbala & tried to get back the audience with their true confession & wedding . They promoted ONLY RISHBALA WEDDING through every possible means , promo , precap , fb status , tweets...everywhere only RISHBALA , Coz thats what can attract the viewers . Well viewers came back , wedding track got 3+ trp , but again CVs bewakufi spoilt the cake . Its true everywhere Rishbala wedding promos got a good number of viewers back , but cvs squeezed in Sullu's sob stories in between Rishbala moments & again irritated the hell outta audience . Result ? As soon as marriage track over they again lost a good number of viewers , trp dropped from 3+ to again 2point something šŸ˜† . Koi mane ya na mane everytime in every show its observed audience watch the show for the LEAD COUPLE only , they aren't interested in any side kick's sob story 🄱 & when the side kick's character is enhanced more & more ignoring the leads it annoyes the audience . Even now too though by tweets , fb statuses cvs r trying to convince this track is about Rishbala's love , will their love win over or not...when we open tv we get to see a dump & cry bucket Madhu , a brainless devdas RK & a triumphing Sultan &...we switch off the tv . Audience never like any character to be given more importance than the leads & thats the answer why the current track disgusting them . If now the track changes & the leads get their deserved importance back , if the leads triumph over the "third angle" audience will come back to the show for sure . I seriously don get why this track is being streached like elastic to show Sullu is smarter than Rishbala even though its getting proved to be a disastar 🄱 ? Just end this torture & then wait for audience's response .

P.S - Just a random question popped in my immature mind šŸ˜†. When a legally married couple romance each other in their own bedroom or any other empty places where no one except than them is present , can it be called "PDA" ?? Isn't the full form of PDA is "Public" display affection šŸ¤” ?? I'm too immature u see , so just confused šŸ˜”


P.P.S - while commenting please don't bash anyone . All thanx to that special person that name itself has become an insulting word now a days 🄱

wonderful post saayaniz šŸ‘ā­ļøšŸ˜ƒ i agree and accept all your point and clauses šŸ˜›
u mentioned ALL the point that lead to thr recent trp disaster of the show being kicked out of the top 10 serials in the trp list
i am also sure that very soon it will be competing with the bottom most trp serials to get the lowest rank
i really cannot understand the perspective of the cvs
why have they butchered the main leads so much that we do not recognise them at all now
and on top of that they have been trying to force the clunky repugnant repulsive abhorred character down our throats and cannot understand that we had rejected that character at the start of his entry only
they turned a blind eye and ear to all our reactions
they made madhu befriend a gangster and compromise with her principles
she forgot that a gangster needs to be put in jail not invited to houses
she risked the lives of the chawl people
she screamed and shouted that she will do this pagalpan always
i had hated her more than i hated rk for the unwedding
she simply seemed to have turned a blind eye to her conscience at that time in her blind fury and hatred
after the main wedding she still behaved in a similar manner
she kept taking the side of the evil and supported him against her own hubby
she thought to keep the evil and the mad mom in rk mansion without even bothering to know what rk wished or if he even could stay with them together in the same house
i somehow feel she never loved rk truly seeing all these things
and yes regarding the mature sensible audience who feel low trp is for the rishbala pda and that the evil lost his kamayi hui trp i will just say let them stay in their own world
they will get well soon when the evil leaves the show to rock trps elsewhere

Couldn't agree more!! Supporting characters do just that.. support the story line.. The main reason is obviously the leads for whom the audience watches the show!!😊

1st - Agree again!! Everyone knew by the promos that were aired even before the show aired that Vivian and Drashti are the leads of the show, and it will be their story, so people watched in anticipation of that. They got bored because they knew story won't go anywhere until Madhubala shares the frame with RK and their story can begin! However, I believe the 4 phere wedding should have been on cards already.. They just wanted Madhu to get engaged with Mukund so that RK can get one more thing to snatch away from her and their hatred can have more passion. Note that they never made Madhu fall for Mukund, they always intended to make RK Madhu's one and only epic love! However, they did a poor job with Mukund as it lacked logic.. it would have been better if he were engaged to Madhu for an arranged marriage before the accident happened. Would have made Madhu's fight with RK a little sensible at least.


2nd- Couldn't agree more!!! It was truly the magical era of MEIEJ!! I so wish we get it back.. and soon!!! 😭


3rd- GOD!!! The worst phase of MEIEJ began!!! The clunkiest and the most lame characterization I have ever read or seen, when gets combined with an untimely entry and poor portrayal of the character, what can you expect will happen?? Obviously, the show lost all logic and charm!! Then butchering the titular character of the show so that the clunky character can stay in the show was height of senselessness!!! When CVs got RishBala married, so that an enraged and disgusted audience will know that RishBala are meant to be together, it was the perfect time to trash the pile of clunk for good.. but no!!! It got worse!!! The International don who fell in love with a married woman actually turned out to be the long lost brother of the woman's husband who was.. wait for it... a Bollywood Superstar!! šŸ‘šŸ¤¢ ... LAME!!!šŸ‘ŽšŸ¼ ,, Audience questioned their sanity and many people changed their channels as advised by GH! So, then CVs thought of giving this pile of clunk another last try and painted him black!! But ooppss.. once a dumb person always a dumb person! They couldn't make him intelligent so had to make everyone else dumb and hence started the butchering of the leads yet again!

I know for sure this track will end with Sultan's doom.. but still this is unbearable torture which needs to be stopped right away!! CVs better redeem our leads in the best way possible and kill this creep of a character in the worst way possible!! Enough is enough!!😔😔😔

Yeah when a married couple display affection for each other even while they are alone it is boring PDA.. but when a peeping tom stares them creepily while becoming tandoori chicken in jealousy.. it's just amazing!! 🤢 And when that creepy person forces himself on a woman.. it's HAWT! 🤢

Awesome post, Sayu!! Sorry for such a long reply!!šŸ˜›šŸ˜³

tho i initially thought that sultan's entry will give a new boost to the show...his characterisation and poor execution of an already feeble track drove the audience away from MB in hordes...it is clear that people don't want a 3rd angle in rishbala's story cos the show will always remain about them.i think the audience in general wouldn't be opposed to a temporary separation between this beloved couple...cos lets face it,its a daily soap and they have to showcase highs and lows in the life of the lead couple.

You mentioned in your post that even post unwedding..the TRPs reached 4+ cos the audience wanted to see what's in store for this couple.I now think had the CVs concentrated the track on RK gradually realising Madhu's value in his life and working to earn her love and respect and the track culminating in their grand wedding would have appealed to the audience much more than what has been shown in the past 3 months or so.

I know there are members who like to argue over the fact that rishbala 'PDA' doesn't fetch TRPs...rightly so...the audience just doesn't want to see them romance all day long but what the viewers have proved beyond ANY doubt is that romance or no romance the story has to focus on RISHBALA and RISHBALA ALONE.

Very good post.

Hope the CVs read this one.šŸ‘
Talking of PDA's, Bhai fans favorite petwords to justify fall in TRPs in their usual MULTI COLRED posts.
I too always wondered when did romancing inside their very homes within the privacy of their bedroom become PDA.
As long as we remember, Rishbala never issued invitations to any Peeping Toms to watch them romance, so what PDA romance are they talking about.
But no use talking sense to his fans, as their IQ matches their idol. So not really surprised at their PDA accusation.

Fantastic postšŸ˜ƒšŸ‘šŸ‘

I totally agree! Unfortunately or fortunately Meiej is so famous that ppl from a parallel universe also watch it but in reverse logic mode🄱
