The time band and viewership logic always had had its impact on the longevity of telly shows. The first half of 2013 just indicated in terms of numbers how promotional gimmicks and much hype didn't quite do wonders for the subsequent show TVTs. While there are too many speculations doing the rounds, here's a list of shows which struck the small screen with a promotional blitzkrieg, but something else on the timeband stole their thunder.

Savitri: Under the scanner

Launch date: February 18, 2013
Great expectations: A show that has oodles of tech edge through the visual and sound effects, Savitri was launched as a show to watch out for.
Telly takes: Neither the special effects nor the new lead couple (Ashish Kapoor and Riddhi Dogra) seem to have helped the show sustain the viewership rigours. It's weathered the worst prime time blues that included time band shift and a possible exit.

Dont know why they would want to change the timing, its doing well.

The story for Savitri is such that it cant go on for years but taking it off air so soon, not a good idea.

In my opinion they should have chosen a better hero than Yash from the beginning. Savitri and Satyas love story was beautiful but Ridhi overpowered Yash in all the scenes. Nothing against Yash but dont know why the PH went with Yash in the beginning 😕

ya fizzi same is my view...they would have chosen a strong satya which can stand up with savitri..ashu is doing good now but then the initial feed back of savitri due to yash's presence was not satifactory

Ashish is doing great as Veer and as Satya he would have been great too. First had my doubts would he be able to play the gentle husband but after seeing him in YRKKH as the caring husband i knew he would be great. Hope they keep him as Satya too when they come back to the present.

Ashish has joined Savitri just a month back it is too harsh to hold him responsible for the shift in time slot moreover it's not like the show's TRPs are very low. Riddhi and Ashish both are amazing actor it's the creative team who needs to work on the story to make use of their chemistry. They didn't even get many scenes to show chemistry as such!

Ek bondh Ishq I shouldn't judge the show by it's promos but it doesn't look like a show which will appeal much to the Indian Audience

Every show needs time and should be given a chance. Just because the channel has new shows lined up there is no need to take off a show which is doing well. And Savitri is doing well for the channel. I've always said all shows should have a time limit from the beginning depending on the storyline how long it gets.
CVs really need to work on DamVeers love story, its going too slow.

The majority of the indian audience is only ready to watch the typical saas bahu shows, doesnt matter if they get repetitive. And the channel gives them all the chances and they run for years.
