PV: Tracks and relationships always complicated

No offense to PV fans. There was a time when I was an ardent admirer or PV and I think I still am but probably not as much as I was in the past. So, when the TRPs came out yesterday, I was a little surprised. But, when I thought about it, I was like it makes some sense now because of the dragging storyline for past many weeks now.

One thing that is baffling about PV is that the plots and relationships in PV are always super convoluted. Everything takes like 50 episodes to get sorted out and even when it does, it happens only partially.

For example, now when Aarti has revealed the truth, it has been done in the most ridiculous way. Aarti doesn;t know that yash knows her truth. Plus, that old hag taiji has asked prashant not to reveal anything to Shobha and senior dubey. wonderful? That definitely makes a lot of sense.

I believe that bringing PRASHANT back has ONLY DAMAGED PV and will continue to hamper the TRPs if the CVs don't kick this character out.

In the past, it took them weeks to reveal as to what happened between Aarti and yash in Mumbai.
Then, the paridhi track is also up in the air with Prateek not knowing the full truth.

If the CVs want to increase the TRPs, they better get their act together by:

1. Following a simple way of story telling and not making things unnecessarily complicated. Trust me, simple story telling is always the way to go.
2. Secondly, throw out PRASHANT ASAP. It is doing nothing but damaging the show.

TRP aunties look for unrealistic, superficial shows with unrealistic, superficial tracks. Unfortunately Punar Vivah is not one of those shows. It's a realistic, complex, deep show. I'm loving everything that's going on in the show! You need to fully understand this show to be able to realize that the show is playing out amazingly! Unfortunately many viewers don't realize that everything that the CVs are showing is needed. In real life, who sorts out major problems in one week, and that too all at once? In real life, problems are dragged, stretched for as long as possible. It would probably take years in real life for a problem like Aarti's lie to be sorted out... and the Paridhi truth would never be out so fast! The CVs are doing the right thing.

Prashant is a major character! He's absolutely essential for the show! Without Prashant, how can the concept of re-marriage be given justice? The CVs can't show a perfect life after a second marriage, because there will always be parts of your past that will come back to haunt you. So no, I don't think the CVs need to throw out Prashant.

I'm watching Punar Vivah for it's "complicated" storyline as you call it. I'm watching it because it's one of the only shows I've ever watched with such amazing characterization, where not one character is positive or negative. All the tracks are given so much detail, that it contributes to the development of the storyline of the entire show fluently! The lead characters are flawed in this show! They aren't always mahaan as they are in other shows.

As long as the CVs keep up with the amazing, intricate storyline and the TRPs don't drop enough for the show to be axed, then I want them to continue doing what they're doing, despite the TRPs they get.

, I agree with you some extent ..Ya Mee to feel the same like you dear..Prashanth Totally damaged the Show.
But Its Necessary for the Storyline to bring back prashanth..but that effected the show (TRP) for Making it so complicated with cancer and Dubeys Manipulating and Hiding the BMT by Aarti to Yash..and So many...
Actually Viewers never Ever Thought Aarti will take such Drastic Step going for BMT with out Consent of Yash, Coz from the Day 1 Aarti character was Shown like Strong and Always Reliable to Yash at any cost..
Ya At Mumbai Track , Consummation Track they Dragged it For Weeks but it doesnt Effected the Show (TRP ) , That time We Have Good Numbers like 2.3 , 2.5 and 2.8, It Shows that Viewers Enjoyed the Track coz its only Yash-Aarti and Aarti is very Strong and She tried very hard to find what happened ..That is Aarti...But Now Viewers Were unable to Digest this Aarti who done Bewafayi to Yash keeping him at Dark...

Always it wont work if you show in simple way, Sometimes u have to make it complicated to make the viewers to hook for it, but not this way i feel ...
I too Agree with you ASAP Prashanth Should be Kicked out of this PV coz its not a Triangle Love Story Where 2 male leads fight for a girl...The Concept of this Show is Different , So Why to make it as Triangle Love Story? Its not needed ...Need to get back to its original plot as soon as possible..
Its My opinion..no Offense..

@ ilovepyaar: I understand where you are coming from. Personally, I don't give any importance to TRPs. Many a times, TRPs are just influenced by who the lead pair is regardless of how good/bad the storyline is.

I haven't missed a single episode of PV since the show started. Besides the main theme of the show, I personally fell in love with the way they showed the emotional journey of Yash and Aarti as they got tied with each other via the PV.

Again, I didn't mean to offend any fans here. Unfortunately, the TRP crap is highly overrated and I feel also a stupid barometer for judging our shows.

I do agree that Prashant is central to bringing Yash and Aarti together. Having said that, I would personally like to see less of prashant.

BTW, PV and SSLK are the only two shows I watch regularly. Other Zee shows are noting but a load of crap when it comes to storylines.

Mohini, I totally get what you are saying but only if they show Prashant to the extent they have can Yash's "saving Aarti from Prashant/Tayi ji" will have an impact on the audience. I don't know of any other show on Telly that show only minimal portrayal of their negative characters. Infact all the other shows on Zee Tv have their negative characters constantly shoved down the audience's throats. In fact, that is one of the things I like about PV that their negative characters are relatable and not in your face kind of characters.

AMAZING REPLY SAFFI.. Just loved everything you said and I didn't even have to add anything much to it as you said whatever is on my mind..
I'm shell shocked that PV got low TRPs but at the same time it hit me that TRP seems to be high for shows which touches on too much romance or too much of despair, which are both unrealistic in real life. The people contributing to TRP probably prefer unrealistic storylines as they want life to be portrayed in an utterly impossible and ridiculous manner as means to escape from the harsh realities of life. PV is really realistic in the sense as it touches on issues which are probably not easily digested by many viewers in India.

Problems are not solved in a second.. It takes a while especially if it occurs in a relationship this complex (re-marriage and that too not out of love initially). If you axe off Prashant's character, the only thing you'll get is how two people perfectly fall in love. Does that happen in real life? An absolute big NO. The past will always haunt us somehow or another and it's the way we embrace and/or face and deal with it will determine whether it makes or breaks your future. The CVs are truly addressing this and showing us how Yash and especially Aarti has and going to deal with her past which is currently threatening her future.

I want CVs to continue what they're doing but at the same time look into this TRP matter without changing the concept and true direction of this show as it's unique and one of a kind. Everything different and extraordinary never gets accepted easily but when it sets in, people will realise it's value and how fantabulous it is. 😊

The Mittals stated in one of their interviews about Punar Vivaah that Yash and Aarti's memories are their biggest obstacles...

i agree with you some extend..but draggy part...ummmhhh...this question keep on poping up in my head...other zee tv shows that known for it supeb dragginess are doing well with trp...????? I WOULD like reconsider the show time slot...

Saffi, agree with everything you said but especially this bit here. I know TRPs are very important for a show to run but my spirits were boosted just as quickly it had plummeted on seeing the TRP breakdown. I would any day rather see a show like PV even though it has low TRPs as opposed to a show that high TRPs and ridiculous tracks to keep the TRPs high.

Agree about Prashant. He and Arpita may not be the leads but they are what made Yash and Aarti who they are today. And I think it was very important to see how much of an impact Arpita had on Yash as well as how much of an impact Prashant has on Aarti. The story is going beautifully.
