OK! So Naagin 5 is the most flop season of the franchise but I actually like this time there's no Saas-Bahu drama and OTT villain. The premise is actually interesting like the Western TV shows and Kdramas. As far as I remember, Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahaani too could not get that much TRP, but it went on to achieve a cult status amongst its fans. I don't want CVs to compromise on the story to get TRP and as a watcher of Naagin series, the only season that was good was 1 and 2 was bearable. I hated season 3 (and I'm saying this as a fan of Rajat Tokas since I was 12) and season 4 was a joke. I think the best season was 1 followed by 5. First time there's something new in the series and audience again wants evil MIL and extra large family. I mean, I want the focus to remain on the love triangle not Saas bahu and go the kdrama e
way. What are your thoughts?
The thing is shows that appeal to the younger urban audience can never appeal to the trp audience which consist of people from the rural areas especially housewives and the older age group . Naagin 1 did well because yes 1) it was a fresh concept, it was being promoted non stop at least two or three weeks before the show was actually launched so it managed to generate an interest and buzz and it appealed to almost everyone in the country other than some liberal idiots who love bashing every show on ITV.
Here what happened was that this season was launched right after the end of the flop season 4, they did not have enough time to promote season 5 before hand (which is at least like 5 or 6 weeks before the launch of a new season), the promos of season 5 have not shown the real cast anywhere, and the promos itself are not that great to appeal to the masses. Like they literally showed the enmity between cheels and Naagins, but what people want is revenge, that is what matters because that is what matters for a naagin season to get the ratings. Revenge appeals to everyone when it comes to ITV. And yes, people want an MIL because that is the family drama element which will bring the naagin vibe back.
