Week 27 - TRP - 0.6 - Page 2

In my opinion its not Colours Chandrakanta's fault that Aarambh has low TRPs and also people cant really be questioned as to why they are watching that show. Its a matter of choice

1) I think the show needs to be marketed differently. One has to lure the viewer into raising their curiosity to watch a show.
Watching TV is a daily habit which means one needs to warm up to it. This new promo is something that makes a viewer want to know what happens next. Lets hope such more promos are played out. Positive and relatable promos. Earlier ones were more war related.

2) Secondly the high level shudh language spoken. Its a bit too heavy for aam admi to understand. Check out Ekta's period shows They all speak like as if they are communicating in the 21st century. Sounds stupid but is relatable.

3) Keep the story central to couple of key characters. If the story dwells on too many characters it is lost for an ordinary TRP viewer.

P.S. Cant wait for the dual to begin tonight. The last episode was super awesome. Saw Varundev emote so brilliantly. Like someone said best meet of two very strong characters in a TV show.

It is disappointing indeed. 

I am not disappointed with the numbers per se because as stated by Nandini and others, it is not indicative of the quality of a show. In fact, TRPs almost seem inversely related to the quality of a show in the Indian context. 🤢

IMO, even romance alone cannot bring TRPs. Romance-based shows usually top the chaska meter here on IF, but many of them don't work well on the TRP front.

Based on what the TRP audience likes, there is a need for strong dramatic themes in Aarambh which they would want to watch. Romance is like a bonus but not the foundation for TRPs.

A show Aarambh can maybe take inspiration from is Jodha Akbar. Romance fans AND drama fans loved it. YHM is also not solely about romance and family drama plays a huge role in the storyline.

I also feel another factor denting Aarambh's numbers is it being aired on the weekends. For a show like Aarambh, consistent connect needs to be built with the audience. The audience can only be invested in the characters if they see their trials and tribulations regularly.

The show airs twice a week with gaps in between episodes, which causes people to lose interest. Weekends also mean people want to watch something different from what they watch on the weekdays.

Somehow, I feel Aarambh should have been a daily soap, though the production quality would have been hard to sustain for a daily soap.

I just hope SP doesn't axe it. That would be the worst. For the first time, there is a female lead I love and can relate to. If SP was so impatient with KLKAH when it's been less than 4 months since it started airing, I don't know what their reaction will be to Aarambh's numbers.

I can't believe that crap Chandrakanta of colors is getting such high ratings with an extremely regressive love story . 🤢

Also colors chandrakanta is not even a slot competitor of aarambh so I really dont understand the point of comparison

Life OKs chandrakanta is the slot competitor so why no comparison with that?

I think Aaeambh not having the numbers has more to do with aarambh itself and nothing at all to do with  chanrakanta or its numbers
