Why settle for 15 or 16

True that! on top of everything we have gorgeous leads VD & DD, we deserve to be in the top 3! Ok getting carried away now, will stop here!

Interesting thoughts all, on the TRPs. 😊

My two-cent take is that the higher the TRPs, the higher the advertising revenue the show can earn for the channel.

I don't know what the economics of running MBEIEJ are, but TRPs in the 2.0+ range almost certainly still delivers profits to the channel (I remember one of GH's snarky tweets once when people were ranting about low TRPs, he said something to the effect of the show is making money. And people booed.) In fact, the TRPs can probably drop even some more, and the show can still be profitable. It is just not making potloads of money for the channel, like in the old days.


So I feel like unless Colors has a hot new show on their hands that is guaranteed to be a surefire hit, MB is safe in its 8:30 time slot.


BTW, I can see MB making its way back into the top 10, if it is able to deliver strong epsiodes week after week. The top 5? Not so sure of that - at this stage, it seems like that would be a quantum leap to make.

Charu, I referred to this in the last para in the same post you quoted from. They had been doing quite major track revamping in both the serials you referred to.

A show that has big budget and/or expensive actors can afford nothing less than great TRP. That is why tracks get changed to get better TRP, and if nothing works, then either budget and cast are messed around with to reduce the series expense, or the series is closed.


major revamping? why didn't they do it immediately when the TRPs dipped and stayed consistent in the 1-1.8 category? i think, for more than a year ???

Madhubala has been under a major revamp too post Sultan & it will take time to get back to it's original position..

it's not like "nothing is working" in MB...otherwise they won't be getting 2+ TRPs...and as far as high budgeting and low profit , high pay scales go, other shows have a huge star cast & MB has only it's leads who they bank upon..if they pay their leads an obscene amount of money, their budget may be lower than the other serials...

and lets not talk about the shut down, I beg of you ! when the CV's decide, it'll end, nothing can avoid it...why should we discuss depressing stuff when it has no base or logic? if there was a formula for success , saare successful hote...IT's the same team who took the show the heights and they can do it again..

exactly the question I'm asking..When they CAN reach to the top 5 level, why settle for no. 15...do WE know whether they are settled for no. 15 & they're happy with it? or they're trying to move up? lets talk facts...what's the point in speculating? just chill ! you or I alone are not contributing to the TRPs , it's the loyal fans and the mass audience and WE cannot generalize for them...so what's the point in discussing?

All these long-running shows probably have already made back their set-up costs. So whatever they get (net of operating costs) is just gravy.

And now you've got me all intrigued about SSK and Uttaran 😆

Charu we are talking of improving the trps and rectifying mistakes
So that show runs for long
No one wants its closure
In fact we want it back in top10 at Least if not top 5

An yes I agree serials like Uttaran are really sadists
Whenever I watch ( after a long Gap -- when I go to moms place )
I find a new combination of leads
Everyone gets married to everyone

And I can never make out who is whose wife

Itna sannata kyun hai! No spoilers, no precaps... Trying to keep the suspense alive is it?

We either have a deluge of spoilers with the release of Bts of every other scene ya toh kuch nahin...
