Honestly, no 90 days are not enough to wrap up this story, there is too much going on.
If written sensibly the serial could go on for another one year without dropping from their no1 spot.
I have no idea how much the channel has the hands in making the story change. But if they are doing that then they seriously need to back off bcuz the channel's grp points are already suffering from ttm's dropping tvr
I am not saying or coming up with my own 90 days duration. Star channel in Hindi market does it. so it was from our previous experience. Basically in hindi, if makers do not want to go in the direction and the way channel asks them to, makers are given 90 days time to complete the story. That is why I was suggesting makers can opt out by getting fixed time notice served by channel. But it is totally up to them what they want to do. This case looks like either makers are in the agreement with channel's suggestions or giving up to channel's demand to have show continue on air.
I completely agree with your view that show can run longer than 3 months with decent story. We are beyond that point, as TRP has dropped, story is ruined and we do not see any serious efforts were made to fix the story. This is an additional evidence that it has to be channel. why all of sudden they will kill their own wonderful creation, unless there is undue pressure or invisible helplessness.
I have witnessed this at regular basis with star channels, specially with hindi shows, nice stories were getting killed again and again due to channel interference. To me looks like now same in Marathi as well.
