yes thats what i think we should be called, simply because despite sony's horrible promotion and lack of encouragement we watch this show and adore it to the core too.
the unfortunate ones are the masses who have perhaps not accepted this show. and maybe, the very talented rishabh seth never targeted housewives and other people who just like watching rona dhona, kitchen politics, saas bahu fights, poilntless break ups and sudden murders. the show is of course meant for all age groups bt in india i am sure the youth likes it more.. after all its a totally new concept and elders are just too comfortable watching what they ve been watching for the past twenty years... however, we like this change and rishta.com has in fact provided us with some great entertainment which i think cannot even be matched by any other shows currently being aired.there simply is no comparison/
the actors in pivotal roles i.e kavi shruti kavin and kiren (kavi is THE BEST ONE THOUGH :p) are doing an excellent job. they are absolutely brilliant and so are the dialogues, the screenplay, the camera work, the set design... everything is perfect....Rishta.com,i think, is flawless.
hence even if not translated into TRPs the feedback from a certain group like us at the forum and many others i am sure is tremendous because i dont think the makers were expecting everyone in india to be totally in love withthe show within the course of few months .. i mean ofcourse, it has the potential to be liked by everyone bt again certain conservative and trraditional ones do not want to welcome any sort of change :(
rishta.com needs more time to settle in with the masses and why cant sony just simply understand that and either make the first season longer or allow a second one.
also, i truly hate the person who makes these decisions and at the same time understand why sony's TRPs are so disappointing despite coming with new looks and all and reviving the channel every now and then.any ways, sony will probably replace this with a crappy show that will fail to impress ppl despite its initial promotion bt because the show will be forgotten in two weeks by the channels the audience wont show a response wither and that will go off air too.
sony needs to so work on their strategies.you see i gave anecon exam today and its simple basic econ and otherwise just a very simple fact too, advertising encourages ppl to buy a product and hence the freaking demand increases.u dont show love towards ur show,no one will... they themselves are so dicouraging so why are they expecting people to be taken a back by it allof a sudden?
in the end, i hate sony simply because i want more of rishta.com,,,, much much much much more ( which actually means i get to see kavi on screen as rohan for a longer time )
anyhoo,do share your thoughts,,, they always are a treattt
tc
loads of love
