Ria Ka Adda *Final assessment & Verdict 15-17 Jan

Hello Everyone 🤗- Friends , Posters, Silent Readers, Like Hitters, Non like hitters, Stalkers etc. 😆

KMH2 has come to a juncture where there it undergoes a major twist .. .and so is Ria Ka Adda !!

-------------------------------------------------

Epilogue - After giving KMH-2 a lot of consideration and time, the moment has arrived for us to decide whether RKA should remain open at the KMH-2 Forum at IF.

We had given KMH-2 a fair chance and extended our original show review deadline from 2 weeks to 50 episodes. However, after careful introspection it is observed that most of the senior Adda-ians are not happy with the plot and episode packaging. As RKA is mainly about our friendships with each other, it is imperative we take a call on this now. KMH-2 has failed to impress a lot of us and we do not want to keep on writing just for the sake of it.

-------------------------------------------------

KMH2 TRPs analysis

Attention: This analysis does not have the objective of demeaning any actors or any other members associated with the show KMH2.

What are TRPs?

Television Rating Points - TRP is the criterion that indicates the popularity of a channel or programme and this data is very useful for the advertisers. Based on these points for a particular show ,they decide whether to sponsor the show or not.. If a show gets high TRPs, it gets huge number of sponsors and in return channel gets huge revenues from that show but if a show gets low TRPs, its sponsors reduce and so channel stops getting good revenues from that show. This is the reason why shows are pulled off air for low TRPs.

Presently, INTAM (Indian Television Audience Measurement) is the only electronic rating agency functioning in India.

What has caused the sudden "downfall" of KMH2?

Although KMH2 have some good positive assets it has unfortunately more than one negative asset which is now contributing seriously to its downfall.

According to us, below is a list of the said factors that has caused the sudden "downfall" of KMH2:

(1) Story

First off, to make a show good, the episode needs to introduce something unique and innovative about the show. There needs to be elements or mysteries that recur often in a show to keep the viewers interested.

The Story is not at its best. It is not clear to the audience. Creatives are playing it safe by twisting the minds of the audience. It seems that they are building the story as it goes and do not know and are not aware of what the story line should be like. They get feedback from the audience and then work on the story. Most of the time there are no links between the scenes & viewers wonder wht is happening 😕

Moreover, the story had too much resemblance with that of KMH1. Viewers do not want a remake KMH. We want a good story around our favourite jodis.

What viewers want to see is some originality. Instead of lifting scenes from other serials/movies, KMH2 has to be distinguished from other shows and only then it will be able to attract viewers.

(2) Camera and Editing

KMH2 looks like it is being rushed with. Camera angles are most of the time inappropriate and does not attract most of the viewers. We understand there is a deadline and that the whole crew is working day and night to please the viewers but that should not be an excuse for shoddy execution.

As far as editing is concerned, many a times the scenes dont flow properly. This makes the viewers feel like they are being taken for granted 😔 The only impression we get is that BT's hands were forced to do KMH2 and does not care what it looks like.

(3) Morals in KMH2

Yes KMH2 is a youth show at least that is what was promised by the Producers. Even if it's a youth show, morals, and values have to be protected and the right message should always be put across to the audience Whilst Values are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn't, good and bad, morals on the other hand have a greater social element to values and tend to have a very broad acceptance. Morals are far more about good and bad than other values.

Some scenes were deemed to be immoral and have triggered resentment in viewers therefore resulting in many viewers dumping the show. Eg: Arjun's conversation with God.

(4) Competition

KMH2 is seen to be at the bottom mainly because it is badly executed and wrongly portrayed. Viewers like a simple story nicely interlinked and produced rather than something which do not have a beginning, a middle and an end.

Before Voting starts. There's this small note I would like you to read.

RKA VOYAGE -MY CHAPTER OF THE JOURNEY

I was just another ordinary girl,going to an ordinary college,dissatisfied wit the way life treated me.. struggling wit my own self day to day - somehow to find the real me,to find wats lacking ???

Sometimes life takes weird turns and it happened one fine day ,when i was torturing my remote and swaping btw channels,I saw a guy confessing a girl .My wax made heart melted - after all I was born in the generation where girls thrived over Madam E shows for their Emotional Quotient !!.It lured me and thus I found something to divert my mind from the regular dissapointments that life gave me.

In no course of time i was deep into the KMH1 Ocean and hence switched to net and searched for little to everything about it.Things wud have been usual if I wud have not come across the most beautiful group of people, who felt the same way i feel ,who think the way i think and yet are "Different" .

----"Ria Ka Adda - Its Pure Magic" - is how Ria called it ; and it was indeed Magical.

I have never been an introvert, but dont know why writing at RKA was something i never dared easily , afterall wat i write will be read by people who are qualitatively far more superior than me.Later I realised that it wasnt not about intelligence its all about your feelings.

People around me always used to say I overdo things a bit. I never understood why they say so unless I found my dedication towards RKA. I realised I can goto extremes for things I care about - And so were RKAians. Weirdo's who can do anything for something they desire be it

-sending a deo to an Actor,

-spending hours to write,photoshop,manage creations related to KMH1,

-declaring a war wit the CEO of a channel or,

-arranging petitions,analysing trp's etc.

Its not what they did ,it was the way they did made me wonder.

With all this I felt different rather unsual. I knew I was not like the other girls of my age walking down the street.I knew some of the unique bunch of people from all over the world.I have such strong bonds wit frnds I wudnt have met otherwise. People who knew each other(from heart) - still didnt knew each other( literally ) [told to me by Natz].

Only a few people wud get to exprerience such vivid known/unknown relationships with depth.

My Life was strangely unusual coz of RKA, KMH1 and my Passion to exceed my own boundaries.

Yes I was DIFFERENT, SPECIAL and EXTRAORDINARY.

--------------

Times have changed now KMH has been a history, and so is my love for the show.. Shows come and go but people stay ,this is wat I had believed in coz I still have those "special" bonds wit me in my heart .

But now I m the same average girl again - with a mediocre life - without Passion - without Dreams

Thus Without RKA

I FEEL ORDINARY Again !!!

--------------

After saying all that above.. I would like you to reconsider your opinion.

What we were and wats it like today.

--------------

It is very hard for me to see this juncture of my journey with KMH2 . After all considering what we put in to get it back.

VOTE - NO !!!

REASON - KMH2 doesnt stands upto the mark of its own predeccesor.

And the worst part it when we tried to point out the flaws for its own good, We get to hear from everyone.RKA is not KMH's pet nor I am ready to consider anything against us.

So my vote goes for a NO !!

• 60% becoz of the copied storyline and shallow characterization
• 40% because of the way people B*****D about my virtual family in my absence.(I was not around past 2 months ).

@Adda-keepers: 🤗

Vote: I thought a lot...and i feel that RKA should shut shop

Reason: I'm not happy with the cliched plot & episode packaging (camerawork, editing & execution). We gave the show enough time to improve but to no avail 😒 Out of more than 180 senior Addians only 4 or 5 are participating now 🤔 RKA is about a bunch of friends coming together to discuss their fav show, have fun and provide objective feedback 🤓 But if majority of our friends are not interested in this show then why drag RKA like this?

@Junior Addians: I'm sorry if you're hurt because of our decision, but we cannot keep the Adda rolling for the sake of it...That's not how RKA was..thats not how it should be!

Opening Adda or writing takes requires time, thought and patience which i dont have anymore.

Vote: Yes to continue RKA for KMH2

Reason: Why i want RKA to remain open?

Although i have participated in writing the above report, I still believe in RKA, its work, KMH2 and its crew. Below are the reasons why I think RKA should remain open

(1) Virtual Friends

- Ive met the most amazing people through KMH2 and i owe this much to KMH2. Without KMH2 i would not have all these friends. Like ive said in my previous posts we are not BFFs, we do not know a lot of things about each other, but we trust, we care and we love deeply regardless of any difference in thoughts or any other characteristics. I myself do not know how to name or refer to such friendship...ive never seen or believed in something like this and today it is happening to me :D

- Those things we cant share to anyone we can share. They are virtual till we dont meet them but they can become real after meeting them. Some can told false statements about them but feelings towards me is real that much i know. VFs have changed my thinking. Yes there are other means to keep in touch with you friends, but most of us like some privacy and rightly so.

(2) Show

- I agree that the show has not been a total success. But i personally like it and look at the brighter sides of it. You will see in all my posts there is some aspects that I loved and other aspects that i hated. This is part and parcel of life ' life has never been all positive

- The show is now running and all I wana do is have a good time analyzing and laughing at bloopers.

- KMH is close to my heart... i fell in love... and cannot forget my first love.. that is why im sticking to KMH2

(3) Stars of the Show

- If it wasn't for the stars, I would have dumped KMH2! Arjun, Arohi and I have spent nights together and I am not willing to forget the moments I spent watching KMH1 and KMH2

(4) "Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? " Christina G. Rousetti

- We've all gone into analysing KMH2... good or bad.. we've started and i think we need to finish it off... there is only 100 eps to go... and then we done...:D... so guys... "patience is a virtue"

- I think the mistake we've all done is to compare.

(A) Compare kmh1 and kmh2

(B) Compare adda (old) with adda (new)

(C) Compare old friends with new friends

People come and go. Changes are ongoing. Life is about making changes and taking chances.

I believe in ignoring the bad moments,

I believe in dumping those who were disloyal,

I believe in holding heads high,

I believe in RKA!

Past, present and future, thank you all.

Love u all

xoxo

Shaan

RKA should shut shop
