Already shared TRPs of every week. First, are we considering views or TRPs because Bismil’s views are less than SMD's views yet SMD is a flop because there we are considering TRPs

It definitely created no buzz, I agree

https://youtu.be/V3csYWhCZXE?si=pkUj-_o-k4Xr1TZs

The main thing here is the balance

Chupke chupke used to get 15M higher views then Ishq Jalebi on daily basis while the different in trp was not that high not even 2 diff

While for Bismil the trp is more than double of SMD

While in views it isn't far behind (first episode views will be high for any drama )

We can say Chupke Chupke is way ahead of Ishq Jalebi in terms of views

But we can't say Ishq Jalebi is way ahead in trp

Same for SMD , Bismil is way ahead in terms of TRP but we can't say SMD is way ahead in views(everyone watches the first episode) ,actual comparison is from second week

The main thing which no one is considering is the expectations

Who is the star power in Bismil ?

Was anyone aware there is a show called bismil before it's coming soon promo ?

While Sunn mere dil is being discussed from an year

Getting a 6M views in weeks average for Bismil is equivalent to a Hania,Wahaj ,yumna ,Danish show getting 15M views

I have seen people giving credit of Mein's opening trp to Wahaj

But that's not true

Even Mein,MPHT was not hit solely because of wahaj ,it had equal contribution from Ayeza and Hania (even if the shows were bakwaas)

Ehde wafa was a multistarer show

In Fittor wahaj was the second lead

Ishq Jalebi even if successful will be known by kavi khan Sajjo and Ashiq Hussain first before coming to Basit

Tbh I don't see any difference between wahaj and Yumna success rate

Both had underrated and overrated shows

And both are struggling after tere bin to get that level success

The balance goes off when you say only one drama can be "Hit"

Ishq Jalebi was getting higher TRPs, and final episodes was 13

I would not mention the other drama because even mention is being taken as an attack, I don't wish to offend anyone's fans

The fact is that Ishq Jalebi had higher TRPs and featured in top 10 for entirety of its run

How was it not a hit? And if it didn't create buzz according to your sources then why were they on their thumbnail for best on screen couple on 2021?

The production house says it was a superhit for them

Swati, you don't get it.

It can be claimed that the reason for the intial views of tb was because yumna was more well-known than wahaj.

Since trp queen ayeza was making a comeback with a grey character, it can also be claimed that mein was a hit because of her.

However, we cannot state that wahaj deserves to receive credit for TB, IJ, mpht, mein, and smd.

As for SMD and Bismil, unlike people who deny the reality, I am saying Bismil is a blockbuster, SMD didn't open as well as it should have which is disappointing

The comparison of views is also not correct because Pak dramas don't have the capability of getting 15M on their own, they rely on Indian audience for it, most hit dramas on YouTube are hit because of Indian audience

The numbers increase on YouTube gradually while TRP is a one day game

So 6M = 15M unless backed by evidence of display of star power doesn't make any sense

I personally find this whole credit thing tedious.

For me, everyone including Zaid's father and Azekah deserved credit of success, because they did carry many episodes on their own and highest TRP was for the episode featuring their scenes

Ayeza had two shows on air and both were getting double digit TRPs so how can she not get credit for it? She is an A list celebrity

We also fought to give credit of Tere Bin to writer Nooran a few days ago, if you remember

I wonder why are people gate keeping "credit", it is not only one actor on the show, there is whole team behind a project

Wahaj got beaten up in most of his earlier dramas, there is a staple scene of someone slapping or hitting him

Please follow the discussion, Chupke Chupke wasn't brought for any reason other than it running parallel to Ishq Jalebi, only TRP of both was shared

None is attacking Ayeza's show, none spoke about its content, its verdict or anything about it, only TRP was shared

You all have been speaking against SMD and Wahaj, are you really saying that you don't like someone even mentioned a drama your favorite featured in? You are gonna take that as attack?

We have accepted SMD's numbers and also said it didn't deserve more than it got because of the content.

Chupke could have been the biggest blockbuster but it doesn't mean Ishq Jalebi was not a hit, two shows ran together and both found audience

Ishq Jalebi was a superhit and it being one doesn't take away anything from Chupke Chupke

.and no SMD is not underperforming because of content..but because people have lost interest in Wahaj. And no one would have thought that a middle aged man like Nouman will beat Wahaj in the same time slot..atleast I wouldn’t expect that. Mahaj had more chemistry and power in a non romantic show like JBG. And even TB 2 likh ke le lo will be an under performer.

There’s one more scene where she verbally slaps him calling him haramkhor. Waise shakal dekh ke zyada bura lagta hai iske liye
