CVs Please don't listen to us!

Finally a post that has got me out of my hibernation from the online forum participation!!

Sorry, could'nt chime in more! Will add to ths more when I get home ...at work... can't take extended breaks! ;)

We are the WORST sample audience to listen to if the CV's want to improve TRP's LOL!!

The most sensible post today...i was not in the mood to comment on anything...but u made me...this is the complete indepth analysis of the TRP debacle...we are definitely not the yard stick the cvs should be using...coz most of us as u pointed out at young teenagers..and they are not the main trp contributors...as much as we hate the fact...the core audience is family drama types...and not romance type...the cvs were doing a good job of balancing it initially...they need to do the same again...the script is always the main hero...everyone else extras...

My take on TRP

First of all today's TRP fiasco, dubbed as "TRP nosedive" by many, is not a sudden blow. It was just another pedal in the downward spiiral of TRP since Holi. Last week we have 2.9 that that was because of the ME. Without ME the TRP would have been around 2.5 or something. So fall is .3 and is gradual, not sudden. The TRP's were falling when BS was in the show as well! So the arguement is completely irrational. (stats may not be accurate regarding the minus ME TRP of last week. I am speculating)

How do you revive a show! OPfcourse CVs have got their collective a$$es back to work and PH is continuously releasing interesting promos to pull back audiances. It will take time. With BS's leave it will be a herculean task for them. Nevertheless they are working on it. The story line started to become gripping and now onwards the sole missing piece is gonna be the less screen time of one of the lead! To move the story forward they need Arnav Singh Raizada and Barun's absense is really gonna take toll now if he is gonna be missing for long duration.

So far BS's leave should not be blamed. But going further,it will make TRP revival difficult! IMO.

As a normal viewer I look for consistancy in the story. IPK seems to have lot of flip flops every now and then. The bought in NK and then boom, he is missing ever since arhi marriage😕.Confusionwa. They bought in that bubble gum and cut her out of IPK all of a sudden😕.Again confusionwa.

Agree there was a lot of hue and cry about Miss B character in the forum. But does that mean they end the character without a proper conclusion? Everyone hated her because her character was shown dark and people have difficulty in seeing a kid as villain. So recify it. I still think there could have been a extended miss B track, which shows the sad side of lonely kid, miss b and how payal can be a mother figure to her. I am sure indian audiance would have fallen for a senti-drama of an orphan more than masala mama track.

My point is PH get sidetracked a lot by Online audience feedback. They stalk India forum and We are not a good sample audience. Thats it! What we want is arhi arhi arhi. And they gave us arhi arhi arhi post holi and TRP did not improve. So clearly the TRP generators and forum wavelengths do not match. In the last one week we say CVs are giving us good episodes and still TRP fell. Why? They are not giving the general non-forum audience what they want and we are not giving the correct feedback! They get the feedback from us and they don't enough apply filter on the feedback and just implement it.😡

The indian housewives who majorly contribute to the TRP, may not be in their teens anymore and they may not go for the 'Romance' element in the show. They always look for story. (My MIL, who adores every sh** they show on indian telly, hated the post holi rabba vey's and was constantly cribbing about not showing anjali and shyam story track, especially when anjali is pregnant. See a pregnant anjali can touch the cord with audience than a mechanic arnav!. She moved on to BV btw). So first I would say is the PH should stop listening to this so called online audiances(including me) and continue with their way of story telling.

CVs, Please tell us the story you wanna say, in your way. Thats is the sureshot way to increase TRPs

And Don't believe what you see in the forum blindly! Use your brains!

Sushi Sis,

I totally agree..
We are very bad sample audience and don't represent the whole nation, that contributes to trps..
However we do have few good suggestions at times..😉

Excellent post. Why always look to IF for feedback? You would think that they should know we are not an ideal sample audience that decides their TRPs. This constant changing of characters and storylines needs to stop. Just tell the story and everything else will fall in place.

Tough to voice out but what u said makes sense.Gripping well balanced story is what we need...
