This show suffered due to wrong marketing - Page 2

even though sanjay kapoor had a flop acting career he seems to be pretty influential and has a production company. Also i guess they wanted trp aunties to watch as well so promoted a dapper looking sanjay kapoor😆.

Sanjay kapoor seems to have no problem having less screen space. The episodes airing now were shot before the news of show going off air came in. 

The media and makers gave too much importance to sanjay and i still dont get why. Even smriti and sanjay themselves kind of promoted their pairing. When smriti started to promote rehaan the news of show going off air came😕. I guess malers gave strict instruction to smriti and aashim to not put too much offscreen fotos. They seems to be completely fine with each other but never posted a solo pic of them alone except under the bed pic by smriti.

you were in edkv forum, right?😊

Story wise they showed rehaan and it was going smooth but the promotion was totally wrong. After a month or two they started promoting rehaan but individually. Also all the promos of him made him look like a creep who is after his uncles wife. A normal viewer who dont know the story will think rehaan is the main antagonist who is gonna create problem for the eternal couple ahana and anant🤢.

Going by promos there is nothing special with dsjz. Even i didnt give a damn about the show when i saw the promos. The only thing that gained my attention was the title track. I recognised smriti but didnt like her enough to givebthe show a try.

@bold: Yes. I was in the EDKV forum. I remember you and your lovely posts in that forum. Ah, edkv...another cool show with an amazing pairing. Alas, it died a premature death. I don't understand why channels introduce such amazing shows only to pull the plug off so swiftly. 

You'd think I  would learn my lesson with edkv and other cool shows like Dekha Ek Khwaab, Manmarziyan etc. But I never learn.

I really really love this show Dil Sambhal Ja Zara. And I am so very disappointed to see it end, especially when the Rehana track is finally starting. I know if the makers go with the original story than Rehana is a dead ship but even so, I wanted to go down with this ship. Because even if their love is messy and destructive, it is still love all the same. Love is destructive and that is the beauty of Rehana's love. I wanted to witness that on Indian TV. The fact that the show is ending really sucks. 😡

I only paid attention to the show when I learned that it is an adaptation of a Turkish show. I never watched the Turkish show but the fact that this show is an adaptation of an earlier show intrigued me. When I read the summary and saw clips of Ask-i Memnu, I was very much interested but still skeptical. Then I learned that Vikram Bhatt was a producer of the show. So, I thought, they wouldn't compromise with the content all that much and started silently watching the show in earnest. I was waiting for Rehan-Ahana relationship development. Now that we get to see them together so much in whatever capacity, the channel decided to axe the show. The fact that Smiti Kalra and Ashim Gulati have such great on-screen chemistry breaks my heart even more. I am really sad to see this show end so soon.

I don't know what show to watch now. Haasil disappointed me right from the start. Dil Sambhal Ja Zara was the only show I watch these days and its ending. I feel so angry.

Couldn't agree more. There were many slips in marketing. They highlighted it as a love story between two people with an age gap. The title song "ishq-gunah" was very poignant and moving but totally misplaced. It didn't refer to the love of Ahana Anant  though (as initially shown), but, to Rehana and it took me some time to realise that.

I don't know whether the makers were scared to highlight the new theme of the story or what, but, putting weight on Anant Ahana love story couldn't have helped either. Some people might have found it boring as there have been serials similar in the past.This serial is a classic example of when the actor dominates the character. Sanjay Kapoor dominated Anant and hence they could never sideline that character. By showing  Ahana in depression they are trying to give a perfect reason for infidelity as they are scared anything else will be frowned upon. This serial could have been something amazing had the makers had the courage to show the real story.
