Colors TV’s family drama Ram Bhavan, starring Mishkat Varma, Khushbu Rajendra, and Samiksha Jaiswal, has been canceled, with the cast wrapping up its shoot, as confirmed by a post on X from JustShowBiz on July 1, 2025. The show, which premiered on January 29, 2025, at 8:30 PM IST, faced an uphill battle in maintaining its position, ultimately leading to its abrupt end. Several factors contributed to its downfall, reflecting challenges in storytelling, audience engagement, and network decisions.
Low TRP Ratings: Ram Bhavan faced persistent low Television Rating Points (TRPs), a critical metric for TV shows. Reports from May 2025 noted the 8:30 PM slot as “jinxed” for Colors TV, with previous shows like Mishri and Durga also canceled due to poor viewership. The show’s struggle to attract a significant audience share put it under constant scrutiny, with speculation about a slot change to 10:30 PM to revive interest, which ultimately didn’t materialize.
Stagnant Storytelling: Audience fatigue was a significant issue, with critics and viewers pointing to a lackluster narrative. A JustShowBiz report highlighted that the show’s storyline failed to deliver high-voltage twists or emotionally charged confrontations needed to keep viewers hooked in the competitive TV landscape. Despite a talented cast, the plot—centered around family drama and the struggle to save the ancestral home—lacked the freshness or intensity to sustain long-term engagement.
Scheduling Challenges and Competition: Ram Bhavan faced scheduling inconsistencies, such as an episode airing earlier than expected, causing viewer confusion. The show’s shift to the 10:30 PM slot in June 2025, making way for a new show, Noyantara, at 8:30 PM, was a strategic move by Colors to boost ratings but didn’t yield the desired results. Competing with established shows and the growing popularity of OTT platforms likely diluted its audience base.
Missed Potential Despite Strong Cast: The show boasted a talented ensemble, with actors like Khushbu Rajendra (Isha) and Hitanshu Jinsi (Dhruv Shukla) earning praise for their nuanced performances. However, even their chemistry and emotional depth couldn’t salvage the show’s declining viewership. Fans on X expressed deep disappointment, noting that the cast deserved better material to showcase their skills. The cancellation of Ram Bhavan has left a void in the hearts of its dedicated viewers.
