When he does other that doesn’t work. So it will fetch high views and trp also will be better but yes maybe trps like Jane Nisar and not like some high trp like TB. But views are mostly guaranteed for such kind of drama. Critics will mostly make mimicry and fun which geo never cares.
The trps of smd are so low that no justification works. Diverse shows with diverse cktrs, less budget, less star cast, less promotions have got better trp than smd this year. Smd is like in the bottom 5 list of trps for a geo 8 pm project between 2023 and 2025. If I start including other channels, smd will still be in the bottom 10 or bottom 15 in terms of trp.
In terms of views, its not that why views are not like JN, TB, KMKT or IM. The thing is views are not even like Jafaa, Khaie, Jhoom, Ehram e Junoon, Rah e Junoon, MPHT, Kaffara, MSM, MGM, FT1. In addition, a ton more shows got views in 10M range, so closer to SMD, but had much much higher TRP. So if I aggregate the two, their total viewership will exceed smd. Do you think all these shows had alpha heroes, chui mui heroines, oodles of romance. No, they didn't. Do you think all these shows were hated by critics. No, they weren't.
Hit is hit. Flop is flop. There may be reasons why something is a hit and something is a flop. But it doesn't change whether something is a hit or a flop. Smd is a flop. Why it flopped could be debated but it doesn't change the verdict. A show with this type of budget, starcast and promotions to be among the 5 lowest trp shows in last 2-3 years on geo at 8 pm slot just leaves no wiggle room to argue.
