~Pyar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan~ EDT #9 - Page 3

See OG Rabb itself wasn't doing well, rather than shutting down Prateek seem to have convinced channel and went for abrupt next gen leap in this Feb even agreeing for 10.30pm time slot.

It was quite expected Rabb was next in line to shut shop, gen leap barely worked even if PH got in popular stars like DD.When there is NO convincing Muslim story backdrop for running next gen love story of two sisters fighting for same cousin, nor relatable modern outlook characters who are supposed to be in early twenties, TV viewers can't be attracted irrespective of time slot and stars.

Channel can't pull off all low hanging LSD shows at one go, so seem to be doing one after another.

LSD should have stuck to their history of running 6 to 9 months duration thriller/horror/supernatural TV serials even for Z where there will be some finite story to tell and conclude, like they did on other hindi channels. Family, love and mytho dramas aren't their forte, to drag on endlessly with never ending unconvincing rehashed crimes.

PS.

One of Bhagya shows may also shut shop this year, heard rumors that BT is already working on another concept.

August 18

Is the show really ending?? Cause the pace is...slower than 1 snail. Anyway,nothing new for sunday episodes. Will have express episodes last days only.

Meera fake called someone...don't tell me that someone will shift Stinky again while waste time moving in the garden!

RM are still worried,Ketki-Ajit talks about RM tension.

Step can't mind her own business,again there to annoy RM until police guy returns...and feels the perfume.

Yug's mom appears to confront RM,bit odd cause she was the one who came in midnight to Trivedis&gave them Yug's passport,behaved all nice;poor Mohan is the one who has to bear her motherly concern;she's not R mommy ji anymore cause her son became like this because of R. In part right cause R game as Radhika convinced Yug that they're happiest pair ever,she loves him and will never leave.

So police didn't yet find any dead body in garden area, or they will find out that dog Champi is killed in Sun filler episode.

Maybe will finally find something in monday episode,around 10 episodes after the fight between Mohan and Yug inside that building. Played enough with "let's hide the dead body",can take another week to think if RM must be arrested or get saved last minute.

Think RSHD season 1 had same results as what followed. Season 2 was probably ok for 10:30 in words,actually 10:45. But is another around 2 years show so planned to not drag it anymore.

Doubt fresh strategy will help channel like they hope as long as their 8:30 pm onwards slots remain dedicated to same ph,new shows with attempts to not repeat party-jail-hospital circle will never get a chance there.

Hope for the best for RM cast&team cause did what they could with such story&resources.

My take..

Seems last few weeks continuously KDB was airing on TV 9.30pm to 10.15pm daily, also pre-announced ahead in Zeetv telecast schedules. Similarly Rabb was starting at 10.45pm.

So Mukta & Prateek's teams might have asked Z to start KMTMG on time at 10pm and Rabb at 10.30pm respectively or give them another time slot?

Also channel team might be knowing that KMTMG is partly receiving KDB's trp data advantage from 10pm to 10.15pm and Rabb is receiving KMTMG trp data from 10.30pm to 10.45pm which in turn be showing as if there is some rise for both shows in barc weekly TRP charts as KMTMG is still being reported as 10pm serial where as Rabb as 10.30pm serial, but in reality its not their organic viewing data respectively?

Feel channel is planning to make KKB & KDB both run for 45 minutes each on TV from next week onward that way until 10.30pm Z will daily have new episodes airing, and still confident to get their overall TRP's for night time intact.

In that case Z won't have much impact even after shifting Rabb to 7pm & KMTMG to 7.30pm slot from 19th Aug, even if these shows trp's are below 1 for early slots from next week, still can get some ad revenues with lower costs? May be channel also wants to test waters how Rabb will perform on its own without viewership & trp support being rolled over from KDB or KMTMG before closing it down?

Anyhow there have been speculations that Z team wants 8pm & 8.30pm weekday slots vacant, to launch new fictions as 6.30pm or 7pm or 7.30pm weren't attracting audience for any of their newly launched serials in the recent years. Also music reality show Saregamapa is going to launch next month for weekend prime time telecast. In that case some daily serials will go back to 5 day telecast, instead of 7 day.

Seems that already have replacement for 8 pm,that new V named show (btw their fl reminds of R-the way she runs,prays,even her choti look). If Shabir will sign for another zee show this year then will need another free slot. Maybe will test new show for few weeks or decide to finally have other ph stories as limited shows.

Precap has police searching under those leaves,finally will find something. Maybe not what Vikram Singh expects,has satisfied face in advance.

Purely my opinion 🤫🤫RM as a show definitely was much better than the run of the mill stories that run for years and years with kidnapping , hospital , accident, memory loss,leap n generation leaps and leaps and leaps and villains never getting exposed till a decade🤭🤭.

Mohan as the ML definitely was written quite fine...of course can't be perfect and identify his enemies at the start of the show....but a widower who still loves his wife ..whose daughter hates him... someone who actually had quite less ego and someone who could apologise..those character traits were rare😇.

R despite her bhagvan ji jaap and initial silly antics was also a reasonably strong FL...had the courage to speak up no matter what and was always willing to go to any end for the loved ones.

The slow relationship which developed between RM...her younger age. devotion turning to love and his damaged soul healing after years and finally getting courage to start to love again🥰....that trajectory was really well done . without unnecessary trip and catch n hundreds of eyelocks and chiffon dupatta flying scenes which are honestly so cringe🤪🤪. The age difference and the initial hesitation and turmoil and subtle sweet romance especially from Mohan was honestly a delight to watch.

Even Tulsi...till she remained a ghost .did manage to convey her feelings as a helpless mother and wife😪.

So would say that all in all the show did have a different story..a nice concept..deep emotions and was definitely successful in the specific timeslot for the channel🙏.Guess the channel did mention once early on ..in its insta status that th show had fetched the highest trp on that slot for the channel .

Moreover 800 episodes is also a really good number on the board...that too with just one small leap..many many shows do go off air in six months ...so 2 and half years is a fantastic achievement too👌👌

Can't comment on why some shows stay forever and some get a closure ... that's something which the business heads know better.... Whatever audience says or thinks maybe doesn't matter to them 🤭🤭.Else why would toxic shows still be on air for centuries😬😬despite Audience expressing their full blown dislike in all mediums

But would say the actors definitely did true justice to their characters.... Will always stay as Radha and her Mohanji😍😍....in our hearts.

RM sure surprised with its long run,wasn't given many chances coming from non high budget or most famous ph. Had its lows like most shows have but had the courage to touch topics that others would ignore. Had moments when would roll eyes like D thinking why are doing this,also nice presented&acted tracks (like borewell episodes,when all-except culprits,of course-forgot are in same team or not&united around Mohan and Gungun&supported them emotionally,no surprise that track worked best);liked to drag almost every track for 1 month but always tried to come up with something else except "let's have 1 function or a random party and trap leads,let them get arrested 1000 times for any reason". Or simply "let's humiliate R with each occasion and force audience to feel bad for her";R suffered a lot less than other fl would and most times cause couldn't control her tongue,giving lectures nobody asked her to,bit too much for her age&experience.

Mohan definitely one of the best roles for Shabir. Again,was unexpected,coming after long run&not so calm Abhi. Remains underrated cause is not the typical "handle fl with physical force,insult her many times but claim to love her". Hope next choice will be at least half soft and decent as Mohan is.
