why is R.COM not being given a chance?

hey people, i havent posted here in agess but somedays i miss rishta.com like crazyy and today is one such day.. 😭

I don't know what it is about Mahi Way that's making them give it another chance...Sony has always inclined to ideas that are a little 'hatke' so maybe they think the story of an overweight girl and her escapades would draw more of niche audience than the realistic and very much normal Rishta.com. It's tragic, really...because this is one rare show in which everything clicked perfectly, be it the casting, production, concept...yet they've chosen to dismantle it.

Mahi Way isn't being given another chance just cuz Devika Bhagat wrote it I think.....scriptingwise, she went offtrack with both Mahi Way in it's latter half and Aisha was a half-baked and poorly written screenplay for the most part anyways.

Mahi Way is being brought back cuz it got much better TRPs than Rishta.com....which is so (not) shocking given that it got a MUCH better timeslot than R.com (Saturdays 8pm) and better promotion.....and ultimately it seems there are more Mahis floating around in the real world who identify with the protagonist.....which is mindboggling to me given how superficial the character turned out to be with NIL character groW*H....what "amazing" writing by Ms. Bhagat *rolls eyes*

Rishta.com was NEVER given a chance by this channel at all....and that is the saddest part.....they constantly shortchanged it when it was on air and now they don't give a damn enough to bring it back either.....🤢

As for the why of that......I'm still wondering about that to this day.....I fail to understand how a show as amazing in quality as R.com never got its due....instead average third rate crap is being applauded🥱

Fatty I don't think YRF or Rishab Seth would block Rishta.com2....Shruti herself has always seemed pretty open to the idea anytime she's been asked the question....why would Rishab be against it? .....I think it's most likely Sony blocking it giving the 'TRPs' wala season.

MW is most definitely not coming back cuz of any petitioning....I don't think there WAS any petitioning going on for it ever either :S lol.....plain and simple that show got more TRPs than R.com.

And yeah I agree that if R.com came back, it would deffo get much higher ratings cuz I also know many ppl discovered the show after it ended and keep on discovering it till this day and then realizing what an amazing show it is.

Hmmm I see your point, Fatty.....Rishab has been surprisingly mum on the topic while Shruti and Kavi have expressed more obvious interest.....but I wonder if Shruti knows that her brother doesn't want a second season, why would she still show interest in having a second season😕

The "End of season one" line confuses me to this day as to WHAT exact intentions they had that they put that there when they NEVER intended to bring it back.....that's just so PATHETIC then! Arghhhhh!

the time slot definitely counts and rishab is just not so active on twitter in general.. i'm pretty sure he wouldnt mind a second season... had this been the case why would he write end of season 1 to be specific..

Reading the comments here, i now badly want a season two!!

Unfortunately somewhere down the line anything thats real or aims to be close to that doens't do well on Indian TV because it fails to gather the kind of commerical response something that's jazzed up however unrealisitic(all those "family" dramas) and nauseating (read cheesy shows or reality 'scripted' shows) manage to do. It's so annnoying to think of the possibility that a show far more unreal and pointless may be brought in instead and get yearly extensions while something more decent like rishta.com goes off before it makes any mark. Not implying rishta is the best there was but it was still better than most crap out there. But then again, who cares, as long as people get their twenty minutes of high-voltage-mindless-drama :I they are happy and the channel with the 'trp' those shows rake in.
