Week 28 TRP = 1.56 - Page 2

I don't think that wooing girl is such a big problem. If trp auties don't mind watching it when ml do it intentionally then they shouldn't mind it this way either. But there is one important thing related to this...

It's also true that trp started decreasing after 1,5 leap and decrease during this track is still in same range so decrease during this track is not bigger then what it was before.

What I think is that reason for this is lack of unpredictability. The last promo which was really good and it intrigued viewers without revealing whole story was the promo for Suraj regaining memory in memory loss track. After that we had similar situation like now Sukor pretending and working together. That was the first time I felt something is changing in Udaan. Everything was predictable except Chakor's pregnancy (which was shown for two episodes ) and Imli killing RV and him reveling her true face. From time to time makers do give us something unpredictable such as Vivaans comeback, beautiful Kashmir trip etc.. But ever since latest leap and it my opinion it started before but only after leap and that disaster climax of memory loss track everything is so predictable. If its not predictable then everything is revealed to much in advance and in one single episode. Take it for example Udaan's vilians... from time Suraj regained his memory Sukor were playing cat and mouse game with RV, and he as vilian did almost nothing serious to prove truth to Imli. Only serious thing which happened was Kumuds death and even that wasn't used for anything except for showing emotional Sukor in between playing with RV. After leap... Chakor's long speeches about mansik bandhuagiri revealed everything in first episodes. On top of that one of first scenes between Chagan and Gauri showed problem will be between them and what kind of problem it will be, it was easy to guess how Sukor will help them. But let's get back to villians... Imli's comeback in first week itself. Even I who expected her to be back sooner then soon was shocked how short time she was absent. The whole promo about leap,mystery factor behind it revealed in first week. All the time Sukor doing almost nothing, Chakor fearing without reason and giving long speeches. Once they decided to help they didn't dealed with that good.
Then they introduced Karan. Not to forget before that Sukor found gold idol stoled by Imli (ok, if they didn't knew it was stolen by Imli and if it was hidden somewhere else, maybe it would be more interesting - for Sukor to investigate and for viewers to watch). Karan came and what a coincidence he is thief. He comes in Azaadganj - what can be reason? Nothing unpredictable here. If idol scene was shown later as fbs it would been far more interesting. There would be more mystery around Karan and more wondering.
Then Imli came. Ups she was actually there for quite some time fooling everyone while it was so evident it's her (not blaming makers here, it's actress that couldn't pull it right) - nothing unpredictable here coz it's a norm in TV shows that enemy will end up in leads home taking care of child. I remember back then I asked same question as now - Where is unpredictability which was one of Udaan's flavours? I don't really want to mention how for aunties ml not believing fl is predictable and how cat and mouse (AGAIN THIS GAME) between Chakor and Imli was PREDICTABLE. There was absolutely no other way to move story forward.
They surprise us with Kashmir trip and Vivaan's comeback and right when you think Udaan is going back to its old self you get what? One more "confrontation" between positives and negatives with really strong dialogues but with lack of action. Suraj's jealousy... not even one trp auntie should have seen his one scene to conclude he will be jelous after it was (again predictable) evident Vivaan is on Chakors side.
Mystery women.. finnaly something Sukor and Vivaan could have worked on together and to be interesting... but guess what? Mystery women revealed her face and as soon as Sukor were saved she disappeared in tinny air. Unfinished story, just like unfinished Imlis punishment.

Imli and her craziness stole whole light of Ragini's comeback... but neither one vilian get punishment. Neither one story got finished. Everything is left at the half way. It makes people confused and (not liking to say it) disapointed.
Then comes this track. Shocking promo, interesting and intriguing. But viewers who watch already know Sukor are in sort of happy phase, they won't get separated in couple of episodes which are left for date on promo. New viewers decide not to come coz promo shows love triangle and these words itself are PREDICTABLE for every show. Old viewers still continue to watch and couple of new viewers who also come got to know what will exactly happen in next two months of the show in just one episode. They got to know date, they got to know reason, they got to know way... Basically everything. What remains are Sukor's convincings, painful scenes... what is they don't know about this track? Probably the only thing that's still unanswered is how exactly will Colonel make attack on desh. But it's actually not quite interesting coz whatever it is they already know Sukor will try to find it out trough fake love and maybe marriage and at the end of the day Sukor will be succesful. And they know it won't happen anytime soon coz they know date, so why don't switch chanel in meantime and see what's happening somewhere else?

Now it looks like I really blamed and bashed my favourite show. But I didn't. I loved many things ever since leap happened, or better to say ever since Suraj regained memory but there was something seriously missing and it's not in story writing coz writters have been changed and also old writters made two really good tracks before all this. Its also not like they messed up seriously with two main aspects of show which is social messages and love story. Its not fact that Sukor are parents coz in current track Saanvis ss is max reduced and Sukor absolutely don't look like ordinary parents. So what it is? I don't know. The unpredictability is lacking and finishing of tracks and sequences has been damaged seriously. If I didnt knew that makers and team of Udaan are matured and smart people I would think they are seriously trying to change Udaan's flavour and to make Udaan less unique so they can attract new kind of audience. But I think they already know it's not possible after show is on air for 4 years and after it gained loyal audience which seems to be quiting now.
Are they trying to protect show from something? Coz every time they give a surprise they take one more predictable route before people even realise it was surprise?
Or is it just me?


As I said at the start love triangles don't work with Udaan. I think it was always because love triangles become too much clich and predictable and Udaan's audience doesn't favours it. Right now it's not typical love triangle and I really think it wouldn't drove away people coz Sukor are together in this, but there is absolutely nothing that will make people wonder what will happen next. Team works hard, story is good but there is not unpredictability. With intentional triangles there is still some kind of unpredictability. If only makers of Udaan didn't revealed every little detail about this mission right at the start it would have been more interesting for audience even though they knew this is not typical triangle.

I wish they show some twist in this second half of track... such as Colonel finding out about RAW agency watching on him, or maybe even finding out about Sukor... not only cat and mouse game (AGAIN!) between Sukor and Colonel. Then we can have heartbroken Naina finding truth about her father and helping Sukor or becoming negative as her father... whatever. Just something to happen...


But... I wish the most that they don't take any of this routes. And to show something no one could have expect.
And yes... I so want one promo that will keep people (and me too) intrigued till the last episode of track, not a promo which will be revealed and solved in one of the first episodes.


I love this track it's interesting coz am emotionaly attached to Sukor. I love to see more of Suraj's and Chakor's thinking and emotions in this kind of situation. And if I hadn't been emotionaly attached to Sukor like I am then it would be intersting for me coz of Meejay's performances, this track give them something new to do. New emotions, new thinking... it's Meejay's responsibility to show it convincingly and they are doing amazing job. But audience doesn't really care about it. That's why BP and Silsila are also not doing good even though their leads are far more popular then Meejay.

Even I miss unpredictability factor in Udaan. And for audience of every show and especially for Udaan it's essential.

So sorry guys for this long post.
