They assumed the audience of 2023 would be same as 1990..
It is a content-driven audience. I am not criticizing the audience of 1990. They never had any choice, same with the audience of 2000's and 2010's as well. Social media and OTT platforms became popular from 2015.. Audiences have greater exposure to content and will not watch if the show s pathetic. No Sahi or Gul Khan or Ekta can force them to watch a show!! Same with movies as well. We have seen how big movies flop and content-driven movies with actors (not superstars and megastars) being successful..
SO, DO NOT CHALLENGE THE AUDIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly ji, it was considered like filler only, star has NEVER given 9pm slot to a show like Faltu with new production or lesser known cast.
Sahi show was on pipeline from last year, till then they thought Faltu will not make big noise can off air aramse after 6 months. Faltu success against powerful kumkum bhagya was definitely not expected by star that also with such high trp.
Now this debacle was definitely not expected by Star or Sahi. Even ppl who don't watch Faltu felt sad for show and requested not to do this injustice.
From 9 -10.30 pm who wants to watch a same huge family drama seriously
Star was so dumb they did not even realise how monotonous it ws for audience.
Faltu worked well without single promotion coz it was refreshing /new jodi/new cast/no OTT drama so it broke the monotonous pattern of people watching a show of 15yrs rishta & 3yrs maa with same cast.
9pm show looked soooo dull & boring by the outlook & promo itself. Star failed to realise and did not take proper decision in those given 3 week extension.
Mohit Malik show kulfi worked due to its child actor & concept nothing worked for him after. I cannot tolerate that female lead even on my insta ( not coz of Faltu issue but for her acting skills).
Now Sahi will start playing his cards by grand wali shaadi track ( I won't be surprised even if he goes to foreign destination).
