And this is why the TRPS are correct

I feel, what they are showing is a little too far fetched (both story wise and characterisations wise) and doesn't click with the general audience. The PH is hell bent on trying not to show a cliched route (such as a teary eyed Arnav on a redemption track or a crazed Arnav begging for Khushi's love). But sometimes that's what the TRP audience IS looking for.

what people expected to see,
1)Shyam's truth getting exposed.
2)Arnav realising Khushi was honest and innocent
3) Arnav feeling horrible for mistrusting Khushi and making her go thrugh a forced marriage
4) A dramatic self realisation of his mistakes and asking for an apology
5) End of contract marriage
6)Khushi leaving the house
7) Arnav realising he loves her maddly and wants her back
8) Arnav declaring his love, goes to GH and try to woo her.
9) Re-marriage
10) A few blissful weeks of happy marriage
11) then past coming out.
This is what the TRP audience was looking for. Cliched I know, but people had been looking forward to seeing this above process of events for months (after the contract marriage). But the story never provided this. At the end of the day people want to see something they feel good about, not something that disappointes or fustrates them into turning channels.
Us royal fans who are addicted to IF more than the show, still stick with the show hoping and preying for better days, but would the TRP audience be that patient? No. The show is not catering for the TRP crowd's expectations.
If the cliched route makes more sense than what they are showing as an apparent uncliched unique track, without us having to decode and analyse why this character behaved this way and why that character said this line, then so be it. Stick with the cliched route that makes sense to the viewers. The TRP audience does not do decoding and analysing like us lot at IF and when they cannot understand the base value of a plot, they loose interest.

I completely agree with you. A lot of people have been speculating that the show might go of air because of the TRP's for a while now and the way the show has picked up pace, i am beginning to get scared that the Production house might just have lost interest in IPKKND because of the same reason.

Personally the show works for me because its not cliched! It gives a thinking person like me some thing to watch. I just cant understand the average IQ of the audience in India and their expectations from the kind of soaps they like to feed their imaginations with! I mean havent people had enough of cliche?? Its there on every channel on every second daily soap, isnt that enough for them that they have to turn a good thing into a mediocre run of the mill show. Beats me completely!!


Mediocre

Did you watch the show last year? The show has definitely picked up its pace and I believe that the writers are finally starting to write for this show. I find it interesting and it's only a matter of time before the ratings go up for this show. Mediocre...just don't watch it then lol.

I think the TRP is low coz Shyam is STILL running the show! People are TIRED of this villain always winning, and the good people always suffering!
NOT just Khushi, but Arnav as well! They are BOTH misunderstood by the people around them, and thought of as selfish, when THEY have done the most selfless act of all! Sacrificing their OWN happiness for the sake of a loved one!
Khushi did it, and so did Arnav! But instead of getting some acknowledgement for the suffering endured by both in varying degrees in the past 6 months... (Khushi mostly in the earlier stages of the marriage, and Arnav during the kidnapping), they are being "Villified"!!
There is NO justice in this! THAT is why TRP is not going up! MY personal POV!

I agree with you completely.

And to add a little I think the CV's have left too many loose ends and are stringing the story forward without tying those up confusing the audience. For instance, the issue of the contract marriage was brought up and Khushi was counting days until it ended and suddenly there is no mention of it.

For me, Arnav's redemption and whole Arhi issue and Arnav's past were two major tracks that in my opinion should have been dealt one after another. But they managed to mix the two and now they have brought back Shyam and obviously the Anjali track is also ever present so for the general audience it is becoming a big confused mess.

Sorry, the word "mediocre" at the end was typed by mistake. I love the show and its practially the only show i watch, i would hate for it to go off air or lose its sprite because its what makes it different from other shows. I dont want it to have teh same storyline that other shows have, thats all am saying. I dont want it to lose its intergrity.

completely agree with u
im not feeling bad the trps are low rather im happy because that is the only sane way the CV's understand

Im talking about the trps audience dont get confused with IF members please
What is being shown : ASR's pain is mostly related with the past not much with the present. Where as its Khushi's pain which the audience relates to. The Dadi drama was really quite predictable & seems as if Shyam had planned it with her.

I have never come on the forum before MU i came after it so for me the problem started during the MU where the trps have always been low my hope was Gul interview regarding redemption - yes im a fool to believe that, now i think the interview was fake just to sell their 6 month hate marriage theory.

Redemption is the only trp shooter no other way out.
The messages they are promoting through the show are not good especially that live in relationship is accepted & khushi ASR marriage is not - why glorify something which may be true in the society.

Like majority i watch the show just for SaRun & with the hope some mircale happens - the CV's finally bend to trp audience demands.

still don't want it to go to cliched...what the worst could happen...they will shut it off by December. As long as there is a happy/good ending (not replaced by a new show), I am ok.

i think khamoshiyan is taking the place of ipkknd which will be telecasted on september. And i think that why they are rushing with the tracks.
