I also completely agree to Santiago. Experience has shown that none of the top class shows survive in the 8-10:30 slot. Because as rightly said that audience wants to be spoon fed and they wont understand the beauty of the script that RKC has. Currently it has good TRP in 6 pm slot, plus it is one of the most watched shows in hotstar which is really good.

I can cite with examples how the top shows went for a toss. Ek Hasina Thi. A very good thriller show was at 8pm. Thanks to the trp crowd had to shut down prematurely in 8 months.

POW -Bandhi Yudh ke-10:30 pm. Top class show, one of the best scripts though an adaptation of homeland it had a very desi feel and some brilliant performances. Terrible TRP and show was cut short by some 15-20 episodes.

Sumit Sambhal Lega-10pm. A light hearted comedy for which 3 seasons were planned. Again adaptation of Everybody Loves Raymond. But trp of season 1 not encouraging and season 2 and 3 didnt happen

Badthameez Dil-8:30 pm. Shut down in 3 months due to TRP issues, but had a very good concept and a good star cast.

So if RKC need to survive it is better it stays at 6 pm.

The show is so good but the timing is off for me. But I won't ask for a slot change. If I pray for slot change and then looseRKC to shows where people keep turning into Makhkhi and snakes, saas-bahu saga or those over the top shows, I will not be able to forgive myself.

i think the timeslot is kind of perfect and they are still getting quite good trp. If its changed to a prime timeslot so much pressure to win the trp race.

@santi yes POW is winning international accoloades and so is Ek Hasina Thi which is re running in 6-7 international countries. It has re-run in UK and I guess now re -running in Dubai dubbed in Arabic.
