So, a few months into Richa's re-entry & a few weeks into the "newer, fresher post leap story", the figures speak for themselves.
May 30 to June 6 - 2.6 - Sonia Singh's entry
June 6 to June 11 - 2.1
June 12 to June 19 - 2.1
June 20 to June 26 - 2.3
June 27 to July 3 - 2.1
July 4 to July 10th - 2.2
July 11th to July 17th - 2.3
July 18th to July 24th - 2.1
July 25th to July 31st - 2.1
July 31st to August 7 - 1.8 - Leap week
7th August to 14 Aug - 2.4
15th August to 21 Aug - 2.1
22nd August to 28th Aug - 2.1
(TRP chart courtesy snmalik4)
A few months/weeks in real time & 9+ years in EK's calender...time has stood still...literally!
TRP reading on June11 was 2.1, 11 weeks later, on Aug 28, it still stood at 2.1
The wheels are stuck in mud & spinning the tires is only resulting in flinging mud around & digging them in deeper.
According to the recent Color's article, The leap "has taken the plot to a new level, where the characters are the same but now will connect with the audience better".
Shouldn't it be the other way around? It is the audience that needs to connect with the characters & speaking for myself, I find a complete disconnect b/w myself & the recent portrayal of KC especially with Richa lurking in the shadows.
Commencement of a well planned track featuring the retribution & redemption of KC is the only thing that I believe, will automatically bring about a gradual, upward swing in ratings.
But then even that might not work, if delayed much further...
