Let's see how the next few weeks perform before IPL starts and ratings drop again. It can't be helped.

As for things that need fixing within the show, when ratings drop , many people suggest many different things which may or may be have anything to do with what is connecting with viewers and what's not working. After all , we all have our own perceptions, opinions , suggestions and biases. So the best thing would be for the makers to trust their own instincts and make the best possible judgement for the show. Sometimes making drastic changes in panic mode does more harm than good.

I think the falling ratings atleast have partly got to do with Aryman falling for Ananta suddenly and moving on from Radhika. It honestly looked ridiculous, because he was showing clear signs of still being very much bothered seeing Purab and Radhika together. Yes, he was also showing clear signs for slowly falling for Ananta but they should've continued that process for some time. That he's weaning off his Radhika infatuation and his attachment with his wife is growing at the same time.

Anyways, what is done is done. I'm now dreading a onslaught of random romantic scenes between leads with zero pretext because horny nibbi nibbas of Twitter and Instagram think this is the solution ti every problem. Just shove an avalanche of stupid romance down our throats and keep fingers crossed that gets accepted as peak storytelling. That's my biggest fear.

Best thing would be to do a hard reboot. Remove almost everything. Clean the slate and open the show in safe mode. Introduce new dynamics and characters slowly . Throw out the old ones except the absolutely indispensable ones.

That would have been true IF naagin was same on its trp spot, because people would not be watching the other shows too right? Naagin trp declined much faster because audience is not watching it anymore.

Ratings are falling because naagin audience is getting the stuff they did not sign up for. A thali ka baingan ML, pativrata doormat patni and the ex, this formula barely works for other shows now a days. Adding to this the ex is the least interesting character in the entire show yet she is 90% personality of aryaman.

Kill Arya radhika together, wipe it all. Restart the story

But these other shows are not weekend shows , right ? People tend to watch cricket matches more on weekends than weekdays. My father is usually busy with his job during the week and he only watched TV on weekends . Not just cricket matches, many reality TV shows and song and dance programs etc.

So , being a weekend show Naagin will always be hit hard.

Rest, I completely agree with your opinions and suggestions. And that's exactly what I meant by hard reboot. But I know makers don't have the guts to take such a bold step.

If they fail to utilize Zayn as Dragon properly, this show is absolutely doomed. It'll be out of top 10 . Whether we like it or not.
