The two early evening shows on Imagine will be shutting shop on April 1st...
Imagine's two shows slotted between the 7-8 slot,
Rakt Sambandh and Armanon Ka Balidaan will be ending on April 1st.
Armanon
Ka Balidaan produced by RG Media and Entertainment got into a problem
because of its title even before it got launched. The show which is
based on the reservation system did not appeal to the masses and fared
badly on the TRP chart. Also, Dolly Bindra's much-hyped and costly
entry did not do help the show.
Rakt Sambandh
produced by UTV, on the other hand was giving a decent rating at the 10
PM slot, but the rating all of a sudden went downhill when it got moved
to the early evening slot of 7 PM.
Our source states, "The
channel has decided to axe both the shows. No new fiction shows will be
introduced at the above said slots. Having said this, these were new
slots created when the SRK reality show
Zor Ka Jhatka was getting launched. Both
Rakt Sambandh
and Armanon were moved from prime time slots to the early evening slots
to accommodate the big ticket reality. The channel now plans to
concentrate on the already existing prime time shows and of course, on
the two new launches Looteri Dulhan and Beend Banoonga Ghodi
Chadoonga".
When contacted,
Naman Shaw, protagonist of
Rakt Sambandh told us, "Yes, the Producers have informed us that
Rakt Sambandh will be going off air in April".
We tried contacting the Producer of
Rakt Sambandh and Armanon Ka Balidaan, but could not get thro' to them.
