Article: Bhagonwali to End Feb 17th - Page 2

@luci1177 - I echo your frustrations! When I look at the other shows, they are nothing compared to BBAT!! As a matter of fact, most of them are on a downward trend. Ah, but then Zee judges on TRPs and BBAT's international viewers have no part to play in this!!

Guys, no offence to anyone, but I have spent many times, trying to get inside the brain of the typical Indian (referring to India) who watches other serials and I am still left baffled and puzzled. What pulls them to the other serials that they completely ignore anything realistic!! We deserve to have a higher TRP (I still believe this is rigged), not to mention brilliant acting and beautiful actors!

@jps01 - I'm treading softly here, but up to yesterday I mentioned that something has to be wrong with the ratings! BBAT's track has improved significantly from the last few months, yet the Chaska Meter rating is so so bad!! - and we vote on this every day! So could you imagine where we have no access to the TRPs what could happen there? If you visit the fora on a lot of Zee's other serials, you would notice that viewers are complaining and calling for them to end, yet these serials are ranking very high!!

With the India Backstage Polls, however, where we can see the number of votes, BBAT is ranking 1st with our Himmanshoo and Nive 2nd. So something definitely has to be wrong.

@jps01,@indi, @pensink91,@luci et al...I have wanted to express the same opinion,but have been reluctant to do so, for fear of offending anyone on the forum. Actually watched 2 other serials before: Vachan and Sangini, but they both ended as well. However BBAT was always way superior ,and I did not mind too much when those shows ended,since I still had my favorite show!!

Well, now that BBAT is ending, I am so heartbroken and disappointed!!! I have tried watching the other serials on Zee, but just really cannot get into them at all!! I just do not understand how/why these shows attract such a large viewership?? There is just no comparison IMHO!! I guess there must be a huge disconnect between the Indian and International viewers, I just put it down to the fact that I am non-Indian , and my tastes and expectations may be very different. Who knows??

All I know is that my beloved show is coming to an end, and it is going to leave a huge hole in my heart!!
