Looks like the cvs prefer Tulsi in the ghost mode than in flashbacks. Might it be due to Mohan/Tulsi having better chemistry, so they do not want comparison with Mohan/Radha pair which has to be accepted first😔

Too bad for them. They are stuck and in a real bad way. Its obvious Mohan-Tulsi have better chemistry - looked beautiful and endearing in the fb bits we have seen. Can only blame themselves for the casting they did and even doubled it up with the title. Cant expect good things to happen with the female protagonists rather weak character sketch.

If they really want to go for a love story then can have a twist where Tulsi comes back alive 😲 like her body is somewhere else and what we see now is her spirit-locked in that house for the time being. I mean anything is possible in a show,why not this??? Have her patch up with Mohan and that would help Gungun too. That would #MakeMohanSmile,else R makes him disappear after 2 minutes around her.

Radha is truly not needed,not even as G caretaker-friend. Make her realize she can't run-literally-after a guy who still loves his wife,has a kid hating him and many other problems only he can solve.

I feel it was too soon to have allowed Radha into Mohan's room when he came out half dressed/Mohan carrying Radha near the car scene and him applying ointment to her wound when people have not yet come out of Abhigya trance 😊 to compensate that they need more of Mohun/Tulsi scenes only

Could have that scene with him alone,same as his entry scene. Odd to have a single&not related to him girl roaming around his personal space all the time. Why have her there when she can give him that book 😡 in the hall or any other common place?

Not so sure if it has much to do with people not coming out of Abhigya trance. It may also be that the presence of Radha did make us accept Mohan-Tulsi scenes much more than it would've been if there was no Radha. Perhaps then some 'actual' comparisons may have been drawn b/w Abhigya and Mohan-Tulsi - as was alleged in some articles around the FL.

It surely was too soon for her to move in to his home, his room, the scenes, and sadly, perhaps pretty soon into his life. Similar scenes with Tulsi in the fb wouldn't have been jarring - she is his wife. But Radha??? Who is she???

Indian TV audience are diverse, instead of doing proper market research, blaming audience choices for current cringe or repetitive recycled content running in most hindi fiction daily shows won't be viable.

Also last 3-4 years due to improved data connectivity at affordable prices (and also due to covid lock downs) most normal Indian households have got better access to watching both TV soaps & web series content using their mobile/web internet access even in small towns, instead of depending only on paid TV be it cable/dish/DTH connection at homes.

People have more multiple choices to choose or discard what to watch on TV in 2021, 2022 and where to watch, that too whether its FREE or PAID, whether to watch alone or with families siting in drawing room.

While a producer pitches a story or concept for approval be it remake or original or recycled; its TV channels programming, business and marketing teams that need to collectively work on a strategy, understand who is TARGET audience while promoting and launching a new daily show at a given time slot on. Also a female lead character traits, her background story and face value even if its not a popular actress, the new shows title and concept are important appeal factors than the male lead, in drawing initial attention to most drama launches on TV.

Casting plays a vital role in daily shows as lead actors breathe life into character nuances (even if not so strongly written) for their longevity and continued emotional connect with audiences. Most fiction TV shows of recent years seem going wrong in casting area; where availability and affordability seem to have taken precedence over talent, screen presence, creativity, potential and suitability in casting for a lead role.

Horror/Thriller/Supernatural/Fantasy is a different genre from Devotional/Mythological/Religious genre, so is a Love story or Family drama with kids or a Detective/Crime series, you can't mix up everything like its some khichdi and expect that all kinds of audience finds something engaging and entertaining in bits and pieces to sit and watch daily in the same TV show and at the same time slot.😕

Whether RadhaMohan show pickups up TRPs or not, whether it gets more paid TV subscribers or not is Zee channel & LSD films botheration not audience..hope they won't waste their money, energy and as viewers our time and money atleast going forward, currently Shabir is ONLY attraction to try this show.😔

But feel makers mis-fired in all of below key items for RadhaMohan show.👎🏼

->Zee chose 8pm as time slot, where most men and working class aren't easily available to watch on TV

->Shabir has more educated, working class, also male fans; and his successful past TV shows mostly were telecast within 9 to 11 pm time slot

->in promotion strategy, launch events, press meets, in highlighting title makers & Zee tried to give it religious/mythological/devotional/musical angle love story, thus confusing some people who would have got upset with what was instead shown in content and characters during launch week episodes

->purposely hid during launch on Mohan being widower with a kid, that its about second chance story for him, where as given prefix to RadhaMohan title as Pyar ka PEHLA naam, meaning FIRST name of love?

->hid GHOST wife, super natural angle of the story, and didn't reveal that its an overused Zee remake story thus irritating few sections & not gelling with promotions centered around the title that hinted different genre

-Damini role casting as early 30's aged college friend of Mohan and Tulsi isn't convincing, as actress face looks younger and bubbly than Radha onscreen, and so is her predictable vamp characters behavior seen in hundreds of TV shows

-way too much screen space to Radha and Damini's mother who are more annoying, OTT and less humorous and giving limited screen space given to Shabir as Mohan in some episodes

-went wrong in Radha's casting when launch was centered around her name and POV as female lead; they FAILED assessing actress screen presence as LEAD, youthful innocent look that's needed as 20 years unmarried girl when she looks far more matured; also failed testing her pair chemistry with Shabir

-terrible character sketch of Radha, her styling, makeup, behavior, fake voice, repeated Mohanji & Bihariji jaap, dramatic dialogues, forced usage in Trivedi family and repeated intrusion into a much older matured widower man Mohan's life and his bedroom, who is struggling with his own baggage's of life

Reason ghost is shown within 2nd episode itself is to strike off any possibilities in audience minds about dead wife Tulsi returning alive in any manner, to claim her wifey rights.

Yes a doppelganger of Tulsi, a different educated woman with a different name can be brought into story to ease tension between father-daughter, may be some sports teacher to the kid giving her hope that mom may be alive, this lady can help Mohan bring forth murder truth of Tulsi while Tulsi's enemies panic and commit mistakes. Where as ghost wife feels relieved that her enemies got exposed, daughter is safe and then leaves the house forever.😳Then doppelganger refuses to marry or become Gungun's mother wants to leave Mathura as she has her own baggage, and it can be funny or emotional track around how Gungun forces Mohan to try impress this lady, where as Mohan is still stuck with Tulsi's memories and guilty on knowing about her real murderers?😉

But seems even next 10-15 episodes content has been planned and shot already. Don't know if at all makers take any course corrections, when will they actually start doing? as they seem hell bent on Radha's character and promoting that actress as female lead for so called visionary devotional love story.😛

E11 (May 13)

She does stand for 7 hrs (Kind of decided I'm going to ignore her from now on.) Oh... ends in falling in his arms. "Perfect". And carries her again.

Ghost does come out of the house... perhaps the backdoor is fine - or may be they forgot.

Glad he is shown remembering her birthday. (though not revealed.)

Get ready for wedding 😆 press clicking RM pics together (wouldn't mind much given is D first flopped plan). Another person living in delusion that male will marry her if she creates a situation that forces him to do it.

Family being around R for those 7 hours 🤣

Gungun throwing balls to hit R back and then that ball stopped...is confirmed R&G have same age,both thought God does these things.

Guessed right,Mohan saved the...blessed book. End of drama.
