MHRW gets 5 months extension..If only SAAKK had gotten extension also - Page 2

Is it possible to know on which criteria one serial gets an extension and other does not?

Not being from India, it is incomprehensible since both MHRW and SAAKK had more or less same trp.

The biggest criteria being the time slot. Saak at 7 pm couldn't bring trp whereas rival show udariyan on same time is increasing trp every week. 7 pm is new starting prime time slot for channels now

Whereas mhrw is at 6.30 pm. The time at which most of the young audience is not even free to watch tv but the show brought trps as same that of 7 pm saak. Infact this week saak has trp of 0.9 whereas mhrw has 1. So you can understand how there is still a slight difference of trps and main factor is timings of show

Thank you for the explanation. Now another question. I have read somewhere there is some device placed in homes to measure this trp? If it is fixed, then the metric is wrong since the sample is fixed and the audience would not have changed hence similar type of material would bw appreciated.

Are those watching online considered?

There is a third angle in that show so it will be triangle love... Not progressive... In addition it was like a force marriage so I didn't bother to follow up....

All I wanted from saak was the full story and not the rushed version even if it had to end by Sept...

I too feel bad for saak. It had potential to break the stereotypes but destiny had some other fate for it

Coming back to the mhrw show ,it wasn't promoted as a progressive show ever. It was always a love story See its first promo. The male lead is beating a goon just like south indian action movies and in first episode there is a sindoor throwing scene by hero on the heroine. I know this scene is over the top but the way it was enacted and the cinematography of that scene made it classy and aesthetic. The forceful marriage promo was to attract the typical trp audience but in the show even after marriage the hero left the heroine to her free will never forcing his opinions on her

The main point is mhrw started off as love story and is continuing the same path till today but saak was conceptualised as struggles of girl education with shaurya being in contrast personality of anokhi but the show somewhere lost plot in the middle. It only focused on romance forgetting the core plot

Sometimes colour release episodes before tv timings and sometimes not. They don't follow a proper pattern like hotstar It also depends on their mood 🤣

Thank you. From what I gather the system is wrong being given young audience prefer online compared to fixed tv time slot. Thete is a need to update the system. India being number one in IT it should not be difficult in getting a metric that considers all platforms...😃

A small correction... Saakk is a clash of ideologies and to show that they had to show falling in love and they also said it is an intense love story...

BARC is definitely one flawed system... And it had huge waterfall effect... It releases trps based on the selected household viewership... And those numbers are then being used by channel to pitch advertisers and advertisers to decide the slot for their ads... Now even adverts are planning their marketing strategies for tv commercials based on the viewership of those selected audience.

As much as I do agree with this because makers did bring in lot of inconsistencies and stuff with the show to bring TRPs that whatever people did watch might have lost connect with characters ... I was definitely one of them too for longest time ...

But the issue is that even when the show focused on its core concept, trps were never too high to be honest... Like it was riot sequence, library sequence, his realizations and everything was perfect back then and yet it only garnered 1.3 at the max.

So, I would like to also consider that the show's slot was also probably an issue because this show had more like youth and college flavor after a point where Anokhi comes to Chandigarh.. So, it had to be treated in the same way..
