The sudddenly interactive cast! Publicity!Mod note pg 7

Well, it seems that while Gautam is the same friendly one as usual, the other members of the cast and crew have taken last week's criticisms and discussions to heart and tried to promote the show a little. Example, SBB and SBS today. It wasn't scripted as some suggested but it was more enthusiastic, bringing out the existing interactions between the casts.

For the first, there was the interactive heroine.

Then, there was a special segment on the show hosted by Gautam. Yes, I am aware that TellyTalk did it but the show is allowing more access which is did not before on the set. Meaning, they are opening up to more publicity.

Now, try an actual promo, SLB and crew, and see how the show improves.

Beyond all that talk of professionalism and publicity lies one truth. This is entertainment and in entertainment - you entertain! Not indulge personal reservations. So, no need for authentic friendships, but essential publicity is just that - essential. We are not talking up fakes here either, readers are jumping to one extreme or the other.

A lot of fans may be bent over backwards to justify every behavior by their favorite actor(s), but it is the actor's responsibility at the end of the day to publicize the show as the viewers like it. Hence, TRP has the final say and you have to publicize the show in any way you can to make the audience buy it. If the viewers like to see as much cordiality off screen as on screen, that's what has to happen. Rule 1 of entertainment, the audience is always right.

While books are about self-expression as you want it, TV is about reception. In a book your can be avoidant, grumpy, anything you like. On TV, especially off screen it is not as free, there has to be positivity.

Time for an actual promo rather than a contemplation of previous scenes. Youtubers can put that together themselves. Give the audience something to look forward to and see how TRP rises. The TRP audience watches promos because they watch other shows throughout the week on various channels, it is not just an internet thing. So contrary to some arguments here, the promo will affect the TRP audience.

*** Please stop outbursts on how great Karan is here. He is mentioned in no part of this post. There is a forum for that and this is not it.***

Very well said, as usual you always have the right words.I totally agree with you!!! Additionally I feel Samud romance seem very rushed and squeezed in the story. I only hope in order to increase the TRP's the story doesn't loose the track.

Bang on!

Thank you 😉

very well said mary! bang on! i agree that the promos should include some new developments rather than old scenes..we need to attract more viewers, and for that more work needs to be done as far as interesting promos are concerned!
yes, the cast seemed to be more interactive, especially the heroine, and Gautam was his usual self! although it will take some time for the bitter taste to go, but all in all it was a good team effort by the whole cast!

You know what i too felt the same , somebody did tell Jenny that her of screen seriousness is marring the craze for the show

Gautam too has realised to do what he is best at ,making people talk and he did make them talk by his funny and on the spot humour and non stop talks

frankly speaking I feel Gautam talks a lot like an overenthusiastic girl , if i were his co star ,i would certainly put cotton in my ears for a while...

..dont kill me for saying that...i did realise that while seeing all his IVs...I love him but then I know he talks a lot !!!...too much spontaneous hai mera hero ...lol

Cool Mary Cool...its happening...Seems like all others have realised too that they need to cooperate rather then just putting Gautam in front and running away

the promo will come soon...they desperately need trp now and will do anything for it

see the story line...its has suddenly changed to ...bright and gay and f ull of drama and melodrama

i have a gut feeling trp will show improvement this week and we will have some nice promo too ...fingers crossed

agree...long overdue...

I disagree that the off screen affects the shows trp in anyway. The trp audience honestly does not really know so much about SBS and nor do they get to watch everything off screen like we all do. Moreover I don't think the cast would fake the good time they have. Just because we haven't seen this side of the cast before does not mean they didn't ever spend time with each other the way we saw yesterday.

I find Gautam equally as awkward as the rest of the cast/crew honestly. Sure he has his twitter but off screen presence is still, mehhh.The entire cast is a bit mehhh.

Wow Mary you said it all. I'm left speechless :) Great post and I agree completely ..😃
