Well promotions do help dear but if RR can build up a loyal fan base which I presume we had at the beginning when we had an opening TVT of 3.2 and climbed upto 3.5 TVT durung Mehndi week and if they had focused on Parud we will be still maintining that level. But the CV's lost track and we landed up at this level now. On the other hand the drop in TVT's is also the channel. Plus promotions are very costly. Channel agressively promote during the inital days of the show like they did for RR and the other show. But unfortunately we did not get the desired ratings. But i still hate rangleela and do hope the 11 slot does do wonders to RR cos it is a very nice show and deserves good ratings along with the appreciation.
Oops, I forgot aap bank mein kaam karti hain!
Well, Prabha - Balance of romance, drama = Highers TRPs, like you mention with the Mehendi week. So yes, the focus was PaRud. The plot line was solid then. But again, with Ashish Sir now juggling, they aren't able to keep up the same, and I believe if the other characters were developed from the beginning, we would have made peace with their stories now being introduced/shown!
Promotions - Well either new shows get their 100% attention or the ones getting axed. Rarely have I seen a promo of the ones actually airing, except for the shows in the weekends. These past few months, the shows airing the weekends are being over-promoted, having they might be cashing in greater TRPs!
