Had it been so, the media never cares about reporting the trp's even if they are sucessful or not because they know they have a shorter span. now how can we blame star plus in this case, clearly indian audience doesn't want to move on from regressive stuff otherwise who wouldn't love these stupid shows being replaced by airlines/everrest.
P.S : wasn't a fan of PI always thought it was something arjun part 2 even the lead guy in PI resembles so much to shaleen malhotra.
Actually from everything I've read both were touted as finite series. Airlines was 26 episodes and I think Everest was supposed to run for 100 episodes which it did.
I would also blame marketing. If a new infinite series is to begin, there are reports upon reports in the media, promos upon promos on TV, and it even flashes across the bottom of other shows. Finite series unfortunately do not get the same attention.
I have noticed though that Life OK is one that is different. I've watched quite a few shows on that channel and any time a new show is to begin or even on-air shows are all advertised with banners across the bottom of other shows.
I also feel that finite series are starting to get acceptance. The problem is that the Indian audience is not used to seasons. We're used to seeing something year-around. So when a finite series starts it's hard to understand that this show is going to air for a set # of episodes, come off, and then maybe come back with another season.
