IMMJ 2 moving to OTT - My Two Cents - Page 5

I was waiting for your post on this.

As we always used to say, it'd have been better had the show been on an OTT platform. There would be much more to experiment with , without the pressure of trps.

But again the major point is will the actors agree? The show runs on the leads and it'll shut if any one of them also leaves. Seems like they've agreed hence the OTT news everywhere.

Hoping if it shifts to OTT, CVs make proper use of the platform.

🤗

I too feel the actors have agreed. Besides, in this pandemic time, there is shortage of work. Toh aise mein, the actors would rather opt for OTT than no work at all.

There are many ways to watch for me because in my country also voot isn't available.

But in my lists cons are

In ott mamta will get full on freedom in writing so what if she does her favouritism more and more with her favourite character kabir!

If anyone amid rrahel quits this show then there is no meaning to watch anymore even if it shifts to ott or ptt in whatever place.

In ott show won't be continued for long most of the times so we are getting this show only for 1/2 months 😭

Hopefully Rrahul and Helly will not quit. Bcoz abhi kaam ki bhi toh kami hain.

@bold - Arre nahi yaar!

Silsila 2 had 120 episodes!

It all depends on audience reception. Achha chal gaya toh show ko wapas bhi laa sakte hain Colors pe.

Prima facia this is a good decision ,OTT will give them the much needed creative freedom and a revamp can do wonders .

But then do the makers have that ability in them ?Will they change their stubbornness atleast now ?

But then it’s not a good move for the actors especially RraHel ,because it’s neither a web series nor a tv show so they will go on with their existing base no new audience will be added ,plus like you pointed out Voot is no Hotstar so that has its own drawbacks .

Why do I feel Rrahul will be in next khatron ke khiladi ?

Why voot will be even so unfitted & unprofitable for actors? Something definitely there otherwise why silsila 's both seasons actors did agree to work with voot. Those actors are also not unpopular. But problem is the revamp we were expecting of seeing new place new set & riansh's new journey ...they will newly meet in different place these maybe we won't get ever because of budgetary issue & show won't be ever survived for long.

@ Red. exactly that's why they might have agreed. otherwise they have never agreed. Specially Helly. I feel if they get new offers after few months they would surely quit.😭

@ green. I read somewhere, silsila 2 was brought back on tv?

P.S. many ppl r saying OTT mein paisa kam milta hai actors ko !! sach hai kya?

So finally that day has arrived.

After much discussions, the much-dreaded axing of the show has finally happened, but not entirely. Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 will stream on Voot only after two weeks, bidding farewell to Colors channel.

Now, I understand many of you are unhappy about this decision, but I am partly glad for this, and here's why:

1. The show is at least not going off-air.

We will still get to see our Vansh and Riddhima, only not on TV this time.

2. Let's face it.

7PM is not the slot for a show like Ishq Mein Marjawan 2. A serial that is watched mainly by the younger crowd, you either make it before 7 or after 9. Bcoz, at 7PM, most youngsters either go to tuitions or study at home. And officegoers like me either slog at our worksplaces or dangle from the doors of overcrowded buses on our way back home.

As a result low TRP was inevitable, irrespective of the plotline. And this low TRP was putting a lot of pressure on the makers to abruptly change plotlines, end good tracks and introduce weird twists to cater to the TRP crowd.

If the show goes online, I am assuming (with some optimism) that it will provide some relief to the writers who can experiment a little more and get back their older touch with which they penned down the first 75 episodes.

3. The show may not get TRP but it has a lot of fans online. That way, the actors will feel better as they wont have the pressure of TRPs. The online fanbase will give them better motivation.

4. Silsila 2 episodes were put up on Voot at sharp 10AM everyday.

So, if they do the same with our show, we will be freed from the daily torture of episode aaya? episode aaya? anxiety. Trust me, for Voot Select users, it is a major point of irritation.

***

However, moving to OTT is not without its cons either. There are some concerns with online streaming as well.

1. Will the actors agree? If one of them quits...then what?

2. Voot is a chindi app. It does not play Bollywood songs like Hotstar bcoz of copyright issues.

That means, from now on, we will hear only 5 different versions of the same song for every emotional moment, dance sequence and romantic scenes. 🤔

3. The most important concern...what about international audience?

Voot is not available outside India...not even with VPN. In that case, how will so many NRI people watch it?

Please share your views...and let's discuss.

Is it really moving to Ott platform??

I mean is this news confirmed?
