~*~DV's TRP Game~*~
Hello,

This week's discussion of the week is based on DV's TRPs.

Why do you think it failed to gain TRPs? Was it because it was a daily? Do you think if DV was made a weekand show, it would have gained TRPs? Was it the storyline which was weak? Was it because it was a new channel that people didn't watch it? Was 8pm Mon-Thrus a suitable time for DV?

What do you think the channel/Sagar's should have done to promote DV?

Remember...NO BASHING!!

This may be our last DOTW seeing how well/active this section is, so I request you all to participate and continue a healthy discussion.

i think dv fail to gain TRPS coz the channel is new & most of the people didnt know about it secondly the story in the middle is weak thirdly when veer knows that he is shramik his character has change fifthly this serial is based on dharam veer friendship thats why when they are seperate everybody gets dissappointed.sixthly the saagars have not done the promotion.

for the promotion of dv saagars should telecast dv on another channel which is more popular & should aired more promos of dv.

Why do you think it failed to gain TRPs?
i think there are many reasons for this to have happened...one of the onli reasons that people watched was for RT n MC n VM
Was it because it was a daily?
probably yh, partly because of this because generally people watch all the saas-bahu stuff of weekdays and the historical/mythological and realities on weekends
Do you think if DV was made a weekand show, it would have gained TRPs?
probably yes because there are other weekend mythos that do well
Was it the storyline which was weak?
Yes definately...personally i didnt like the story as much as prc...the sagars made the story drag quite a bit at times like Dharam's phasi track and at other times it was scary coz so much happened in one epi...other than that the story takes a sharp turn suddenly...i realli think the story was weak...the sagars shud have done better...the story has somethink lacking...i think Sagars shud just stick to historical stuff like PRC n Sai Baba rather than periodic fiction like DV
Was it because it was a new channel that people didn't watch it?
yup partly due to this also...the channel wasnt launched in UK til 3 months later...imagine didnt even come in whole of india straight away..did it?...i think if DV was on star,zee or sony things may have been a lil different...
Was 8pm Mon-Thrus a suitable time for DV?
Definately not...that it a prime time slot wen popular shows that alot of people watch come on other channels so i dont think many people would watch DV especially at the beginning because the repeats used to come like 4-5 times a day...then they decreased...8pm wasnt the best time because during skool period lots of students who watch the show miss it due to extra classes/tuition...so they catch the repeat or watch online



What do you think the channel/Sagar's should have done to promote DV?
i dont know abt just promotion but there was a lot that cud have been done.
The channel shud have shown the promos more often and make sure they are recent ones...i have onli ever seen 3-4 different promos of DV
the sagars shud have paid more attention to making the show rather than relying on the lead actors' popularities...the sagars thought the show wud become a hit coz of RT,MC n VM but that wasnt the case...other than that they shud have held more press conferences probably...one in UK next to my house wud be preferable...😆😆😆

bcoz of the poor script and promotion,i suppose
when it started it looked promising with good story background story,stars,good banner but some aspects like same locations,bad music,lack of clothes! and boring tracks made it sink.the sagars couldn't pull it off well.
whereas prithviraj chavan and ramayan are known stories,so they did not need to use their brains but dv demanded good script.

DV get poor TRP because of lots of reasons which we cant discuss it here but the main reason is it script....it has nothing to do with channel initially it was number 3 channel because of Ramayan and rajat tokas's new serial DV...sagars started this serial in a haste without concentrating on a story...everything was wrong from the beginning...i predicted that his serial wont work because there are many loopholes inthe making and story of DV...This was meant to be a serial for young people but instead of light romantic story with a mixture of action,suspense,drama sagars gave this heavy story of massiha with only actions and story of torture on shramiks to us...no we never wanted this story...everything was wrong...absolutely wrong in his serial....if i were at the place of rajat i wouldn't have signed his serial at first place....but RAJAT u gave your 100% it was not fault.....i think next time channel and serial should seek some professional advice it will help them

It definitely, the Script , which has a lot of loopholes. Its has some silly bloopers which they should be careful next time at least if there are making another period drama.
Some how i feel Sagar's and Imagine didn't gel well at some point. Tabhi toh imagine se ye show eke dam se ban kar diya. i mean kuch aur time diya hota ya phir kuch socha hota ki kaise ye show aur achha kar sakte hai. Ye show bahut acha ho sakta tha, coz its diffrent from rest of the shows and it has fantastic cast and crew.
