I'm not sure what the CVs are doing. They have a great concept in this show but there is a disconnect somewhere and it's reflected week after week in the TRPs.


Cannot agree more on the disconnect in spite of having a good concept. Paro's character is emotionally stronger than Rudra's and it needs to be reflected more to the viewer.

I agree. I know they want to show her simplicity, but wish they'd handle it with a little more thoughtfulness and care. I'd hate o see her turned into a caricature - it diminishes her role for me. They showed her as a thinking person earlier... also I'd really like them to stop makng rudra repeat the beautiful woman line now...it has gone on and on...

I like the way he's wih his father - gruff love..

p.s. with this Gauri act...I'd like them to show that he knew/suspected it was her all along...he seems to be too aware of her (...her touch, when she's asleep...can't imagine he'd feel so conscious of a random beautiful woman ;) )


Ditto😃 Thanks for commenting.

Excellent post. 👏 I wholeheartedly agree with the points you've made.

Abrupt closure of tracks and brushing things under the carpet has never benefited any serial and I see that happening with RR. This is not a good sign. The makers of RR and the creatives have plenty of experience, they should know it. Yet somehow they are repeating the mistakes many shows have made in the past. 😒
I wasn't entirely satisfied with the way they dealt with Thakursa's track. It was all too easy. I understand that they wanted to focus on Parud's love story...and it is certainly important...but Thakur's angle was compromised.

RR has a wonderful concept and the story has a lot scope but the tracks aren't being explored the way they should have been. The show has a steady viewership but what really builds a connection between the viewers, the TRP viewers to be specific is the female lead. There is not enough focus on Paro's story, her feelings, her relationships...which is possibly one of the key reasons why the TRPs aren't getting a boost, despite the fact that it's a good show.

At this point, the balance is missing and they need to do something about it soon.



Thanks.😊 @Bold - perfect summary and the need of the hour

agree with u completely! there is a disconnect and a rushed, slightly surreal feel that is really coming through for me at the moment. thakursa was their ace, the catalyst, the direct and indirect reason for every awful thing that has happened in paro and rudra's life since the show started! and for his villainy to be so easily swept under the rug like this just doesn't justify his character for me. he is not a bumbling village idiot, he was a king and he thrived and remained undetected for years!

and for the love story to work attention must be given to both the female lead and the male, it cant always be balanced but i have to feel that both r equally important for the story and for each other. it should be about how they relate to those around them, to themselves and their own lives as much as being about how they relate to each other. but i always feel like paro is only there just to prop up and further rudra's story, if he didn't exist then there would be no need for her.

a mainly female audience will most likely empathise and sympathise with the female lead more and if they dont allow us to connect to her or feel her importance, her pain, her reasoning, her thoughts, her fears then how will we care what happens to her. there have been some beautiful rare moments when i've thought 'aha, there she is' and then just as suddenly the moments r lost amidst the excessive avalanche of rudra's pain and despair and tears.

i feel like the cv's r just incessantly bashing me over the head with how traumatised he is, when in fact i want to know why paro isn't more upset with everything that's happened to her - where is her angst? the writers seem confused about what makes people invest their time and patience and love into a show and i really hope they figure this out soon. they have great actors and a great central premise and they could do so much more with them.

Saavs sa🤗 Fab post as always.

I do not watch the show daily, coz I just don't have the motivation to rush home and see what's next but i do try and catch up as and when I have time. I agree with Visi, the show since its inception comes across as Rudra's story: his mother, his father, his job, his patriotism, his extended family and finally his love. As the show progresses I was hoping the balance would restore a little, but the overdoze of Rudra's suffering and anguish and the blatant ignoring of the huge ordeal Paro has been through in the past month of her life, doesn't sit very well with me..

I like that she is a calm, positive and strong character, that she does not sit around moping but to have her just move on from Thakursa's betrayal makes her come across as almost robotish.
I just do not understand the rush, why are they on an express train and where is it headed?

The Thakur and guns smuggling track which was the crux of the PaRud story was rushed to give Tarun the flexibility he needed, but why is the Thakurainsa angle revealed so fast? What is the hurry to get Paro into apology mode and back into the haveli? To me it seems like we are headed into a swami track of sorts and I think it is a big waste of the actors and premise that the show has.

Savvy sa
Paro baisa is like corporate companies, that believe in quick Mergers & Acquisitions, turnarounds, divestitures and sell-offs. She knows where the biggest margins and returns for her efforts are going to be and thats where she devotes her emotions.

So Thakur sa turned out to be a bad investment. She dumped that business in a hurry and is in serious pursuit of acquiring the next profitable venture aka Rudra.

Paro's emotions have been treated like revolving door where nothing sticks, but something new appears every day. Her past, her history, her emotions, destruction of her past relationships, the reason for her parents death, nothing hurts her as much as Rudra's accusations - that she takes to heart

oh well, i am still waiting for that elusive romance to start.

Meens at this rate, we will be soon called the "TRP" audience😛.. we continue to search for the elusive balance.
