As I wrote on the other thread, Siya, I could never understand why such an opulent production like Porus was entrusted to Sony, which is mostly the graveyard of good TV, and which singlehandedly drove Yashraj TV out of business thought most of their productions were very good.
Sony also sank Anurag Kashyap's Yudh, though, as Amitabh Bachchan's first fiction show on TV, it should have done very well. But Sony scheduled the 20 one hour episodes from 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm on week days, with NO repeats? It was unbelievable!😡 And this for Amitabh Bachchan's first fiction show on TV!!!
I am convinced that the channel is manhoos. I do understand the point about only Sony being willing to concede the IP rights, but higher TRPs on a really good channel would have fetched the PH far more ad revenue. I read somewhere that Porus was sold to Sri Lankan TV for only US$ 5000/-. That is far too small for such a show. Higher ad revenues would have got them much more.
Incidentally, what does RHA stand for?
Shyamala Aunty
