It’s the numbers and popularity that was monumental for PTV. Which continues to be the case. And which is not debatable. So it’ll always come down to that 🤷‍♀️
Why shouldn’t he hype it? It’s literally his job. He has a production house to think about. He’s doing the same with other dramas of 7th sky which are doing well. Like Khaie. Once that ends he can make a part 2 for that as well and make all kinds of hype announcements 😂

Like I don’t have a problem with kadwani hyping his product , his a producer his supposed to do that . It’s the way he manipulates facts to make his dramas seem bigger than what it is . I just found out on Reddit it didn’t even get 3 billon views , it got like 2.5 or something . What’s the point of doing things like that ? If something is a hit you don’t need to lie about the numbers

None of my friends watch pak dramas..infact galti se agar they see me watching some pics or reels of these actors then they are like kya kuch bhi dekhti hai tu

Here some watch but only few. One of my cousin is avid fan of pak drama so we discuss sometimes.

Had to do a double take, thought I was in the wrong thread 😱

My aunt was a big fan of Hala

She would recommend me to watch but I would politely refuse

My mom too used to love the show. She used to wait for it to air.

Even mh, ktk and now im have/are getting the same views as tb on yt if not more but we don't see the ph of these respective shows making tall claims and doing attention seeking tactics

Fact is 7th sky and geo are greedy, they can ruin and use anything to get more $$, they have no ethical or moral grounds

iss hammam mai sab nange hain.

Not just Geo. Look what Hum TV is doing to Ishq Murshid. Jab 20-30 million views or itni high TRP aaye toh sab channels ka imaan kamzor pad jaate hain. Even ARY does it (e.g.Siyani). The only reason MPTH didn't get stretched on ARY was because Humayun was producer himself.

the real numbers are with the people who own the channel who can tell ok what percentage viewership is from where 😂 The only take away we can get that yes it was watched outside too 🤷‍♀️ Don’t get the obsession with discrediting obvious marketing statements made by a production house. As if all producers won’t do it if they get a chance 😂 Literally everyone would. Look how crazy hum tv is getting within the IM stuff. Hilarious but cute. Ab woh enjoy na karain success? Humari complains sunain? 😂

People who understand hindi/urdu watch ITV & PTV shows both. Yes TB had huge viewership on youtube, IM as well & it's not from Pak only.

TB season 2 might take time to start, they'll try to maintain the hype, nothing wrong in that.

Views and reviews are behind, first of all. Tere Bin was peaking around episode 20 while the complaints have piled on IM at this similar stage. IM is a short story while TB was a lengthy one. Keeping an audience for 58 freakin episodes is no small feat. IM is never going to have that challenge. Also the relevance. TB is still being kept relevant. Still remains to be seen if IM will be relevant a year from now.

Also have you not seen Hum tv and Farooq Rind going nuts - them ruining IM and milking it like crazy? They’re so high on the success that they’ve literally ruined the pacing of the story and made it disjointed. All to drag it a bit more. Same tactics 7th sky does.

What you’re saying for 7th sky is true for every single producer out there. Money is all they understand. So what’s the point of us arguing over who has higher moral ground lol. They’re all the same.

lol exactly. What are show makers supposed to do? Shut up about their golden ticket? Not promote their product ? Not use every marketing tool at their disposal?

honestly … 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
