Why is RangRasiya not working- from TRP perspective?? - Page 6

At the cost of repeatedly sounding like a stuck record the lack of a female sensitivity chip in this writing team is a good deal responsible for the dismal ratings in India From what I can gather from the 2 TRP prototypes that live on my street they swear by SP and its prime time 9/9.30 pm serials they want to watch serials from the female perspective but have no issues with a strong male as long as their viewing criteria/standards are valued by the makers I have no idea of the second slot but the first slot just a bit out of curiosity over why it is ruling the roost I could not bear to see beyond 10 minutes not my shot of vodka but after hearing their views I realized that the FL and the ML were strong and respected each others aspiration and dreams The ML is most encouraging of the FL and quite protective .. ok to cut a long story short as I doubt many in the forum would be interested all the ingredients that would satisfy the regular folks with characters and issues that resonated with their own personal lives Take the case of the 11 pm show FL has painful emotional issues related to her health and ML has a rather traumatic past of an ex wife et al but they have managed to balance out and bring out both points of views so wonderfully that you are left rooting for both Even when he is in the wrong you empathize and vice versa

Now with RR they marketed this as her journey probably to reel in the fans and this no can argue for that is what is written as the premise of the show in the forum and then they did something which would be an unethical practice elsewhere but this is Desi TV land they kind of did a bait and switch So you went in with one notion only to find yourself being fed another Now I personally would have had no issues of a Man's journey to finding love if that is what I had been sold in the first place and it would have been my choice and no cause for complaint But I went in to see a love story as advertised and heavily promoted by the makers a different one but never the less a love story where it takes 2 to make it happen

I have said this so many times about Rudra's character sketch so not going to repeat I just want the same attention to detail to her character as well They have not given her an own family name to begin with although someone did mention Kanwar but I doubt it was ever used again as opposed to his Her family memories her parents recollections her best friend Bindi her foster mother her mamisa her grief and sense of treachery at the hands of her father figure Her nightmares all of them have been given the heave ho and guess what the TRP viewers said Jai Ho and moved on My Rajasthani neighbor was the one who predicted the death knell of SI' previous hit show when the ML was shown standing silently whilst the FL was being called characterless ( hate that damn word) and their interest waned off after that and with that the TRP The same applied here whilst they found the ML a good actor it was not enough for them to sustain their interest as they could not connect with the FL They wanted to witness her pain and tears for the amount of grief she has been subject to They did have some thing to say about ML breakdown suffice to say what we perceive here online as sensitive they view it as lack of strength so looks they want their ML strong silent sorts and the FL have the breakdowns And they found the lack of further investigation in the burning of the father as most shocking So looks like the makers missed a big drama inducing TRP there

Ashish is a good method actor and I did enjoy watching him in the initial few weeks then ennui set in I got tired of watching a Male Protagonist with the best dialogues monologues scenes and tracks built around his strength to make us all go aww what a man he be

I got tired Of a Female Antagonist who again seemed to have at her disposal the best zingers and was and is able to get away with culpable homicide Ananya is pretty monotonous now sorry i know she is an otherwise brilliant actor

This is something brilliant that Shabbo wrote in my thread some days back and I quote this last para from her reply Made absolute sense to me

I don't want to talk about clothes n hair n stuff but it irked me every time I came to this forum to see Ashish being praised for his acting and Sanaya for for how beautiful she looked and it just is not right. I dont know how to word it but Sanaya is beautiful and Paro will look beautiful in anything, even the widow's clothes that she should have donned coz Sanaya makes her beautiful, but Paro is many more things than that, which got lost somewhere after she had pointed the gun to her head.

And that is what the makers have lost big time in their lack of empathy with their FL and their failure to exploit the female actor's ability to connect with her viewers deeply They have written her as an adjunct subject to the whims and fancies of whatever they want her to do next a sort of a sacrificial goat You have to be a huge fan of RR to want to put aside any disturbing questions and view it just like Paro and her Just for today belief for anything else will be like asking for the moon - impossible to fulfill

RR still interests me but am not emotionally invested I just find it different for now and will view it as long as my interest holds I will have no sorrow bidding adieu when the time comes I just hope the makers realize that although they have a good product they have not maximized to its potential and have to make Paro the character more of flesh and blood and relatable to the TRP viewers and they also need to promote RR but then again this realization has to come on the part of the PH There should be no twitter trends on the part of the viewers to remind and nudge them of their lack of foresight and planning

ok I think i have said more than enough hope it made sense today my batteries are running on low
