@ Cute-over-Hot: Yeah but Lip Sync Battle didn't work because of its concept. It copied an American concept, but every movie, award show, TV songs, etc. have lip singing already. Why would anyone watch the show? And I read somewhere that because of its low TRPs, top BW stars refused to be part of the show and so it's ending early. Same with Dance Champions and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Both are no competition to similar shows on other channels. And the replacement of the judges in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and surrounding controversy is pretty well known.
@ Shruthi: Yeah but look at the way Sony treats its long-term shows like CID and CP. There was a time when CID used to rake in a good 4.0 TRPs and now it barely scratches the surface with a 1.0. CP used to rake in at least 2.5 or so even for the late night, but now I believe it gets near 1.0 as well. Even its daily shows are doing good for Sony, but not in comparison to other channels or other shows on the same slot. Sony is known for bringing different concept shows and historical shows, but it does a bad job at promoting the very shows. Haasil is the first show I'm seeing in a long time that has so many promos on their YT page.

I do feel that TRPs have also started declining for every show because more and more people are turning to the web to watch the shows. No ads, FF through scenes you don't watch, and binge watching are all starting to appeal to people. Also the non-TRP audience wants new content, none of the saas-bahu stuff. But production houses haven't really jumped on the bandwagon of delivering these shows in a good way. They still air them on TV and channels put such shows in the usual prime time slot that is dominated by saas-bahu stuff. I liked SP's Dopahar line-up. Those were actual unique shows. But no TRP so they cut that line. Until channels and production houses don't sit down together and come up with a proper method of delivering such content-driven shows in a proper manner and stop worrying about TRPs so much, we'll continue to get half-baked concepts, sudden plot turns to saas-bahu drama, and quick endings for shows that should have been allowed to run their due course.
As for RKC, I do remember reading somewhere that this is a finite series and as Mangothyme said, they've developed the story and have reached a point that could be considered the half-mark. Maybe another few months and they are free to pull the show off air if they want because by then the story will be close to over, if not over.
