I am shocked at seeing the 2.0 + TRPs for some of these shows...

I don't want to say much else because it will easily turn into hate speech, but what is this nonsense!? Is it just a time slot issue ya phir there are actually people tuning in to watch SNS2 as opposed to MHRW?!?! 😲🤪

I did ask Sandip on how TRP is calculated

But he said ‘no one knows about it’

I don’t know what complex physics/chemistry equation it is

I would really like to find out one day

Someone actually posted about it in great detail on this forum. I recall reading it yesterday but certainly won't be able to find it now - no idea what the name of the topic or topic maker was, but they wrote about how a viewer can contribute to the TRP!

Here's what I recall from their explanation:

- a viewer in India has to tune into the show ideally 5 minutes before air time and watch it until it ends

- viewer cannot change the channel during ads because that's how the channel's revenue and time slot allocation is determined

This is what Google has to say about TRP calculation itself:

https://www.indiatoday.in/information/story/what-is-trp-and-how-it-is-calculated-check-here-1729909-2020-10-09

Basically, TRP calculations are derived via a sample data set, which is not even remotely accurate to actual viewing patterns in each household. This method of sampling made sense back when shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi used to air because every single television in an Indian household used to tune in to those K-Ekta shows. I believe she once mentioned in an interview with Anupama Chopra that her TRPs used be in the 24-27 range, numbers that we don't even hear of anymore because technology and content creation have come a long way since then. Point being - the method is outdated and inaccurate, but unfortunately it's the only litmus test that currently exists.

@bold: I doubt that's the case, he probably didn't want to open that can of worms, especially during a live session. He's a seasoned producer, he must know how his work is being graded by the channel.

Come on when Gul can talk about trps in detail then I don't understand that Siku is so blank.

Ekta clearly has told that tv and web are totally different. I am sure every producer will know about the 50k metre boxes that record signals. Data analysts can segregate viewers on the basis of states. BARC does all the research work for ad agencies.

Infact SP producers are at disadvantage due to hotstar. Episode is uploaded before telecast and trp ki band baja barath. Still these days it's the number 1. GEC

You know I was thinking about this today and I really believe the time slot is the biggest issue here. The first time I saw MHRW it was a repeat episode on a weekend and when I decided to start watching I was surprised it came so early, I thought how can a good show like this come so early? Who's going to watch so early?! People are coming back from work, cooking etc. From my own experience, I come from work, start dinner, clean up and by the time I sit for dinner it's after 7pm and its SNS2, YHC, Anupama etc. I don't want to watch any of these but these are the shows on when I sit in front of the TV.

Our show is so superior to all these other serials with their crappy story lines and rubbish acting but due to their time slots they are getting the TRP.

Ref the calculation of TRP I can't believe when these shows are on people are not flicking through the channels when the commercials are on, so how are they getting 2 to 3 trps?

khushi ka thikana nahi hai with trp increase

Makes complete sense!

@bold: I can't believe it either... these shows are hardly tolerable during their run time, let alone sitting through the commercial breaks as well! I wonder... is there some level of corruption in this industry as well wherein the producers pay the channel for their preferred time slot?

Also, not sure how my next point is going to sound, but I'll say it anyway... it seems like mostly Gujrati-family-oriented shows seem to be stealing the charts on Star Plus lately (re: the launch of Star Utsav). In fact, all of K-Ekta's shows have typically shown a big joint Gujrati family and while I can't stand her on so many levels, that woman sure knows how to bring in the numbers and sustain her shows for years upon years (albeit by hook or by crook). I'm not trying to imply that the channel has a cultural/religious bias, but I simply have a tough time believing that a show like SNS2 is doing better than MHRW. Even Pandya Store is doing better and their storyline has been extremely haywire lately what with trying to balance screen time between 3 different couples! MHRW isn't showing a typical Delhi/Mumbai metropolitan setting and there's a great deal of authenticity in the cultures being portrayed as well as the languages spoken. I wonder if these are all contributing factors to the staggering TRPs or if my mind is just on overthinking!? 🤓

Happy for mhrw at least as for now it's in safe zone.

but they still made ssk2 as slot king by changing its slot 😡
