Very good post, NB ... this is something we have discussed many times before on different posts ... the characterization of the female lead is the most important for a show to succeed in India, at least for the TRP audience.

I'm not actually sure I want RR to be among the top TRP shows ... because I don't watch most of them. 😆

But I DO want to watch a good love story, Rangrasiya was promoted as a love story ... so I am very disappointed with the way Paro's character is repeatedly sidelined time and again. The show started off brilliantly ... the backgrounds and tragic pasts of BOTH the characters were etched out beautifully. Somewhere along the line, soon after the witness protection plan began, it became all about Rudra ... his part, his mother, his father, his anguish, his bitterness ... his pain was thrust down our throats time and again ... till I for one, had an overdose of it, and completely stopped feeling sorry for him. And Paro's was completely ignored.

A love story needs both sides to be well balanced ... I think the makers were so eager to make us empathise with Rudra's pain after declaring him to be an animal ... that they went overboard. And Paro remained very superficially written ... her emotions were given hardly any time or space. How and why she fell in love with Rudra ... is it actually love or just blind devotion or infatuation ... what does she really want from this marriage ... nothing is clear. And if the viewers are confused about Paro, then the show loses its pull completely.

Also I agree with what someone said about the pace. Most shows take ages over tracks ... here entire tracks are wrapped up within a week or two. Yes, the show doesn't drag ... but it also means that they don't give enough time to build up emotions and layer them properly. Nor do they allow the audience time to connect with the emotions.

Having said that, I'm still enjoying RR tremendously .. especially the last couple of days when some attention has been given to Paro. I don't want her to become the all-knowing perfect heroine of most high-TRP shows ... but I do want to know her thoughts and feelings more. So I will be happy with moderate TRPs and more attention to Paro's character ... I need to connect more to her, because that's when I enjoy a show the most.

And I would like to see Rudra beginning to change under Paro's influence ... because that's what all good love stories are about ... a harsh man changing with the love of a beautiful woman.

Again ... this is the makers' story to tell the way they want to tell it ... being an avid viewer of the show since the very first episode, I am just offering some feedback on what I feel are the lacunae, and what I would like to see.

Sush I am with you on this...

Every soap out there is slippery to the core...its how you sell...the montage has just been changed..

Hi DD...I am not too keen on firing people...not typically...but sometimes you have to do it...

Yes...I see the change in montage...still captures no emotions...It is done with a long shot...with the color of blood in the background...

POSITIVITY and HOPE...that's what I wanted to see...still don't see it...

Considering the TRPs of rival shows: YRKKH, QH, TP, RR.

In the past few weeks YRKKH & QH have maintained high trps always. Now there has been a slight decline in QH but at the same time TP numbers have gone up to reach TRP at 2.

Compared to the rest of the shows RR is the only show with a rural dialect and setting in the 9:30 slot and is very intense. Apart from YRKKH the rest of the shows are equally male oriented, young modern FLs and equally powerful & Young sassy female villains.

Dedicated viewership shift has happened from QH to TP. Currently the track playing out is the hero is now all for loving his wife and a hot promo being aired on consummation! Whether this shift is permanent or not is yet to be seen.

To lure a dedicated viewer from one show to another, it should have been done in the earliest of weeks, and with the story and concept of RR no ways could the shift be done to a spunkier Paro. When Paro held the gun on her head it did not bring more TRPs nor did her declaration of love.

I do feel their marketing strategy and rural setting is what is hurting the 9:30 pm slot.

P.S. Yeah and I have no issues with the way Paro is being shown or any other character for that matter. Its different and that is where the beauty of the show lies. They might have changed tracks but not ruined her character yet.

actually i think the marketing team is going by the book , there is a theory in promotional strategy , good and the bad gets the same kind of recall , the reason why some ads are deliberately made bad
here also they did a fine job last 3 weeks to get the viewers to check waht is going on with the promo
and trps also improved
issue is it is not sustainable , they made the product too much dependent on promotions
and this surpise and shock fades away , what remains is the characters as rightly pointed put here
my sincere advice to the makers
dont let the marketing guys dictate the show , they cannot get you sustained viewership , that can only get temporary viewership
sustained viewership is only when you get your target group , which you will get only when you make what you conceived
i havnt watch JA , but i liked the example , who said different show cant succeed
show is the creative team's baby first , slight inclusion is fine , but drastic changes like these NO NO

Hi T!

Yes a negative emotion marketing strategy works for SHOCK value in some products that have nothing to do with it...

For a soap...a promo tells the viewer what it is about...If you see last two weeks of the show since the track change...and you see the marriage promo...the show is so much more positive than what the promo makes it out to be...

The promo is still stuck at the old theme...exploiting a woman..l.

It is strange that the loyal audience is analyzing the ground behind the low TRP while the makers of this show is not getting hold of any effort to tell the tale in a more interesting manner.

I gave up seeing the show after Paro stalking Rudra episode in the aim of earning forgiveness.Not because I hate woman pleading for forgiveness, but the cause behind such a track was illogical to me.Then the award function episode was the last straw, I totally lost the hope in the development of the storyline. Only two episodes captivated me after the award function , wedding episode and the next episode.
Till the shivarathri episode I felt empathy to Paro and to Rudra.
But after that I was confused by Paro's behavior and I was not capable to relate to Rudra's pain.
The cvs gave full focus to Rudra and they completely undermined Paro's loss.
Isn't it easy to relate the story from Paro's perspective than from Rudra's point of view? The show should need a strong female lead .But in RR the characterization of the female lead is not consistent.
In my opinion it is high time the makers should concentrate on the consistency of the characters, intensity of their emotion and the progress of the story.

hmm that is the whole issue here , it is not a soap , a P&G can make its product dependent on ADs cos 95% of their sales is from new customers or one time users , but a show success is in its loyal audience

i think the channel promoting a show is a weekly thing , they have limited slots and they promote whatever they feel has the max potential at that time

they shouldn't make the show so much dependent on promotions , character development is critical

what i gather from IF after the marriage thing they was no promo at all i guess , resulted in the down fall ,

i agree sush , the show is a lot more light but the issue is the change is too fast from a dark wedding to a singing hero

and what on earth does paro feel , the issue is not what her does , each of her actions as well as rudra's can be justified in isolation but fail to make a story in totality

i love to watch comedy , but with RR most of the times i end up realizing it is unintentional comedy that i enjoyed
