Best dialogue/conversation: RuVya

26/07

"mein aik goodbye bhi deserve nahin karta tha?

[

This dialogue shows how hurt Rudra feels after Bhavya decides to leave behind RuVya's short but sweet relationship so far. Previously, we had seen Rudra bursting with pride as his lady is beating up those goons in her police uniform as she rescued his family from those goons. However afterwards, this happiness is short-lived as Rudra comes to know Bhavya only returned after she found out Sultan, RuVya's enemy is still alive.

From being a crush than Rudra has had many of in the past, perhaps some hedoesn't even remember the name of to a lady who has captured his heart and bruised it when she painfully left without telling him, even saying goodbye. RuVya's fandom were "aaw"-ing as we got to see yet another shade of Rudra Singh Oberoi - he was hurt, betrayed, did he not even deserve a goodbye? Did Bhavya not consider him a friend? Why is she not sharing her problems with him? Was he not worth a goodbye at least? Is this the same Rudra we saw initially in Ishqbaaaz? Of course not, we are seeing different shades of his character each day he is explored. However remember, Rudra is still an Oberoi - he takes all his frustrations out on Bhavya as he pins her to the wall while he is oblivious to the fact Bhavya silently cried her heart out while sneaking out during the night, kissing baby Pari goodbye and leaving with one last memory of Rudra - a photo she took of him smiling in his sleep. All Bhavya could do was stare at him, guilt plastered on her face as Rudra threw thesefrustrations at her. She thinks she is the reason for all of this - sheunderestimated the power of Rudra and took advantage of him for her mission, and now shecan't face him properly due to the guild of her own doings.

This was an extremely significant scene, it shows the contrast between their personalities. How they both think along the same lines yet they can't see beyond a certain limit. Bhavya has build a guard around her, she doesn't want to get emotionally attached to Rudra and she doesn't want to put his life in danger so she can't make him a part of her real mission (killing sultan and taking revenge for her family). And on the other hand we have Rudra, who being fooled by her once, was willing to trust her again. He still considers her a friend and wants to help her with whatever is bothering her.

Romantic scene of the week.

04/08

"We need to talk..."

...Rudra took Shivaay's advice seriously and went to go and find Bhavya - he knows how much his bhaiyya has suffered and doesn't want to go through the same cruel fate...After a talk with Shivaay he takes action to go and see Bhavya because he knows that at this sensitive time, she needs someone to help her through it...and who better to do that job then Rudra himself, who knows her secret now and is willing to do anything to help her get justice for what has happened.

...Bhavya were hurt because she is didn't open the door for Rudy...And from another side Rudy also was sad because of it. He said "We need to talk..." and she said "I don't want to talk to you..." Yet, she clutched his jacket like a life line. When she cried so bitterly behind the door, it was so heartbroken for her, he doesn't deserve this but what can she do? She isn't used to having someone there for her and when she does, she doesn't know what to do.

Rudra left but he didn't give up. Our Rudra Singh Oberoi has proven he is an Oberoi at heart - "If you want the chip come to Mumbai and get it"... Bhavya has no choice but to go to Rudra to get the chip because he is in possession of one of the most possessive things she has ever owned - the secret to her family's death.

No matter what is going on in their lives, no matter how much Bhavya tries to run away, no matter how much Rudy interfere in her mission, no matter how much Bhavya pushes Rudra away, they can't live without each other.

EDIT (note): Hi Krishi, I am trying to format this (layout wise) but it's just not happening... is there a way I can send you a word file as attachment or something so that it is easier for you to copy-paste? Let me know... x

RATING OF THE WEEK

64/100

It's been a mixed bag of progress and stagnancy this fortnight on the show. Whilst, there has been slow, yet steady progress in terms of all three couples and the Tej-Jhanvi-Swetlaana track... there has been an evident lack of poignancy, continuity, and convincing content that would both tie towards the overarching story as well as tie within the current tracks.

CONTENT (34/60)

Content is the backbone of any kind of fiction, be it in any medium. And the three most important questions relevant here are:

- How has the story (broadly) progressed in these 2 weeks? (10/15)

- Has there been measurable consistency in the writing in these two weeks? (3/10)

- How much is the current track feeding into the overarching story? (8/15)

Whilst, it's obviously a no-brainer that none of us as audiences can even begin to fathom the handwork and 'behind-the-scenes' work that the creatives' and writers put in for each episode to actually even get on the floors for their execution - it's imperative that the critical opinions and reflections of the audience be taken into consideration constructively so that in hindsight, it is all the three - the show itself, makers, and audiences that stand to benefit.

The first week started off with the Oberoi's (and non-Oberoi's) bidding their farewells to Pari. And the last episode (Friday, the 4th of Aug) ended on the note of all three couples in various stages of realizations, confusions...and some almost confrontations of their relationships. However, whilst there seems to be a clear sense that the tracks are obviously moving forward, there are also huge gaps in the writing that are glaringly obvious - for example: What is the crux of the problem between ShivIka at the end of the day, now? Is it the 'truth' itself? Or is it the mistaken belief that they both themselves have planted in each others' heads of having moved on? What should the audience take away at the end of these two weeks for ShivIka's story?

Consistency in writing is a basic prerequisite of any kind of writing. Here, consistency pertains to: character growth, story/track consistency, and even scene consistency. These past two weeks of the show (eerily reflecting the whole journey too!) reeks of inconsistencies! For example, what does Gauri really want from Omkaara? Is she in love already? Does she WANT to be his wife? Or are the creatives' angling her to go the Annika way of labeling their marriage as friendship' too a few months down the line when Omkaara actually starts falling in love? 😆

There are so many gaps and glaring loopholes in the writing that it is almost impossible to name all! But some pertaining directly to the current track are How does Prinku now fit in this story? Why has Rudra not been stepping back and shown to internally reflect on the Saumya chapter/s of his life? Where are Kaamini and Mahi? Didn't Kaamini actually try and kill Shivaay? Why is Shakti not even a part of this track when he clearly is at the centre of all of this? How is Tej-Jhanvi-Swetlaana relevant to the overarching story? And didn't Tej legit try and kill Jhanvi only a few weeks ago?

See where I am going with these? The character flips are EVERYWHERE. Thus amounting to extremely patchy writing at best thus reflecting the scores mentioned earlier.

The next question is: Has there been measurable progress in all three: ShivIka, RiKara, and RuVya stories, individually, during these two weeks?

- ShivIka (4/5)

Apart from Annika's flip' in the last episode, the track clearly showed slow- yet continued build-up and progress from where it had started. The scene where SSO is intoxicated and is finally told the "truth was especially beautiful in terms of both writing and execution.

- RiKara (3/5)

While there seems to be a lot of progress between the two, there are way too many inconsistencies within the writing that sadly take away a lot from the experience' of the track. From Gauri's sudden realizations of inferiority to her drive for helping Omkaara find his inspiration and finally confronting the truth of what Omkaara actually thought of her there actually has been a LOT of progress there. However, it falls short in terms of continuity, thus making it feel sort of incomplete.

- RuVya (3/5)

Being the freshest/youngest couple they do seem to have a LOT more going for them. Especially since it is a brand new dynamic...and there has been quantifiable progress within their track. From their increasing involvement with both each other as well as within the family we see both of them portraying a range of emotions (more openly in Rudy's case) like care, attraction and definitely haq'. However, the scene cuts to them randomly trying to have in-depth symbolic' conversations so early on in their relationship takes away the beauty of their journey. There is obviously a lot of potential here, however, growth of this relationship needs to be organic which sadly has been missing in the current track.

Another imperative content related question is: Has there been an effort to show progressive' tracks in the last two weeks? (3/5)

Barring a few clichs, there has surprisingly been an apparent effort to show new tracks in the story. From Bhavya's dedication to her job to Omkaara's dialogue about Gauri being different not inferior there is reason to celebrate #nayisoch this fortnight after all!

FEEL-O-METER (30/40)

At the end of the day, the aim of the show needs to be that the audiences not just watch' the story but actually experience' the story. So the relevant question here is: Did the individual tracks ShivIka, RiKara, and RuVya connect with the audience in these two weeks?

- ShivIka (8/10)

As mentioned earlier, there was an evident slow build-up in the angst for ShivIka these 2 weeks. Also, the humor that is often underlying in their scenes is been more or less consistent throughout their show (of course discounting the sometimes OTT lines that are mixed in-between for Annika)...all of it has more or less gone a long way in giving them feels!!!!

Special mention: Nakuul Mehta he has been an explosive performer in this last week!

- RiKara (6/10)

It is the lack of consistency and depth in the story line that again interferes with the audience-connect' here. There is again, potential for a lot of exploration, like the scene where Omkaara talks about his art (sort of opens up) to Gauri for the first time... However, the hurried nature of the writing and run towards bringing intensity' too early on in their story is failing to leave its mark with the audience. Having said that, it does need to be said that the actors themselves, especially Shrenu Parikh's performance in the emotional scenes, have not only been beautiful and convincing, but also are the biggest redeeming factor.

- RuVya (7/10)

Being the youngest couple (and the freshest') hasn't stopped this pair from falling headfirst into their own journey of realizations, growth, confrontations...and eventual love. And this seems to have struck the chord for the audience. From having their role-reversed (brooding male lead is swapped for a more cautious female lead, while the wearing hearts on sleeve quintessential female lead is swapped for a much more carefree...sheltered male lead) to balancing between their emotional scenes that more often flow into light-hearted comedy there is a lot of things that have the audience connecting to them.

However, having said all of this, it needs to be highlighted... for more audiences to fully embrace this newest couple, there still needs to be better closure for Rudra Saumya. How did everything all his fights and even their marriage (annulled?) reflect on him and his state of mind?

Another aspect that really impacts the feels' level of audiences is the miscellaneous aesthetics. Thus, an essential question here is: How did the overall aesthetics, drama, background scores, and acting all come together to connect with the audience in these two weeks? (9/10)

Numerous fans have already said this before, however, it needs to be highlighted here too. Ishqbaaaz has one of the finest ensembles cast on Indian television. From Mahesh Thakur to the newest, Mansi Srivastava the actors are not only extremely talented but are also one of the show's biggest selling point.

Of course, the character background scores', O Jaana, Saathiya ... old classics and other instrumentals that are used to add to the scenes are absolute strengths of the show. However, the editing and graphics team sometimes have the tendency to run away with their ideas (Examples: Shivaay and Annika seemed to be levitating on the bed during the Jai Jai Shiv Shankar' sequence...and the smoke behind Gauri during the inspiration' scene...) all of these whilst making for incredible troll' material...do in hindsight come in the way of audiences' connecting and experiencing the full range of the scene and their characters'.

Special mentions: It has been an absolute treat to have to OBro's sharing and reflecting on their emotions together...and as a personal favorite... AniOmRu as well as Rudy-Gauri too have been incredibly heartwarming to see. Whilst not explicit, these equations within this family has gone a long way in making the audience fall completely in love with the show.

Hello! If you would rather, you can edit the photo formatting. My Mac is being super stuffy with the keypad not working right so I could barely take caps, ugh :/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Dressed Annika

For this fortnight, Annika wins the best-dressed character. While at times, her outfits got a bit too adventurous (and at others, down right hideous!), Annika's outfits this fortnight had variety, simplicity and elegance. The jeans and tops she donned in this period were all simple but flattering. For the more formal event, the navy saree was beautiful, while its blouse was elegant the only place the outfit fell short was the bow near the midriff. While saying this, Annika's yellow checkered dress was easily a fashion failure as the cut was unflattering, the colour was washed out and the accessorizing was sub-par. However, on a relative note, she was still this week's best dressed character.

Special mention to Omkara while his outfits are overtly simplistic, they usually flatter his look well. His blue and white floral kurta was absolutely gorgeous!

Best Outfit - Bhavya

Bhavya looks beautiful in this simplistic, Kashmiri suit in plain ivory. While the look is simple, it proved to be the best outfit of the week due to its flattering fit, as well as its elegance.

Special Mention/s Gauri

While Gauri looks beautiful in this demure, taupe sari, the adventurous blouse detailing did not suit the overall outfit, as well as the character. While the halter-neck may have still worked with the outfit, the embellished fringing could not be forgiven.

Worst Dressed Gauri

For this edition, Gauri wins worst dressed. Her suits this week have been bad fits and were usually overbearing on her petite frame. The use of the overly loose sleeves, the adventurous shoulder cuts, and the baggy midline cuts were highly unflattering. The dupattas that she characteristically wears are beautiful, even these do not save her suits. Saying this however, her taupe sari early this week was beautiful, however, the loud blouse hampered the outfit. On a secondary note, Rudra's outfits this fortnight came close to winning worst-dressed most of his outfits were mismatching, or had unflattering cuts.

Worst Outfit Annika

Ironically enough, Annika also wins the worst outfit of the week. This yellow off-shoulder checkered outfit was completely unflattering. The midline cut that followed through the bottom was a bad fit, and the pale yellow seemed washed out. Paired with the pom-pom pink pendant, this outfit was easily one of the worst outfits of the week.

ShivIka FF of The Fortnight

Pride and Prejudice by missready7

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/ishqbaaaz/4871207/shivika-ff-pride-and-prejudice-chapter-11-27-07

Plot

The story is different from the original IB storyline. This story is about Annika, who was neglected by her flamboyant parents, who later abandoned her because she was an unplanned baby. She was brought up by her grandparents who later died. She stayed with Oberois, a distant family friend of hers for some time. In the times of her stay at Oberoi household, she bonded well with OmRuPri but Shivaay. ShivIka shared an formal bond between a family member or like acquaintances.She was very distant from others. She had always maintained an invisible barrier between her and the world. After staying there, she went to Cambridge to complete her higher studies.

Years later she returned back to India after completing the graduation. The Oberoi household took her to stay there. In her time of stay, she and Shivaay started to became friends and which in turn s into love.

Review:-

The striking part of this FF is the bond between the family members is well depicted and explained. Siblings Love and Bonding are the main attraction which made me fall in love with this FF.

The mind blowing part is the chemistry between ShivIka and their journey from being friends which gradually grows into something more than that of just friends' tag. The ShivIka moments are worth reading.

The most unique parts in this FF is Indian essence. It was one of the most unique concept used in any FF that I've read till now. The scenario of playing indoor games that is commonly played in Indian Households like Ludo and Snake & Ladders is something I never saw being used in an FF. The indoor games played in the household created a serene atmosphere of joviality and happiness for the characters as well as the readers.

Words in my dictionary are not enough to praise it.

SS- New York Trip by vaishnavi31

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/ishqbaaaz/4847583/the-new-york-trip-shivika-ss-chp-6-pg-42

Plot- ShivIka on a vacation trip to New York. How they realizes their love?

Review-Words are less for me to praise this amazing piece of work. The writer has perfectly described the surroundings of New York, emotions and interactions of the characters are well written.

When I read it, I felt like I was on a trip to NYC myself. This story is like an adventure. The story is really worth of reading for the IBians. I say give it a shot.

Oneshot/Twoshots of the Fortnight

The Rise And Fall of the Beast by Annikaa(TS)

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/ishqbaaaz/4880967/ts-the-rise-and-the-fall-of-the-bleeding-beast-completed-pg5-12-08

Review:

Give it a try. It's worth of reading. The scenes and emotions are perfectly described and well written. The writing is really heart touching and the anger flaring from Annika was mind blowing.

Confrontation between ShivIka was something I can't describe in words. I'll tell all the readers to read this OS. It's really really worth of reading.

Shivika VM

The editing was aweome. Really loved it and scenes were perfectly depicted.

Blooper of the week

26th july 2017

This was the scene when the O'Bros, Shivay, Omkara and Rudra were tied to the chairs with rope and were successfully captured by the goons on the gun point on Rudra, suddenly Bhavya prance in the air and kicked one of the goons, why did she jump was the question when suddenly the goon tug her dress all the way in the midair, which arises an another question that does the law of gravitation exists or not.

But the main miracle happened when he successfully pulled off her dress and bHAVYA landed in her police uniform.

[CENTER]Now, how on the Earth, Bhavya managed to be in the midair for such a long time, how did the goon managed to pull off her dress in the midair, especially leggings and the main question how Bhavya can wear leggings on the Police uniform.

1st Aug 2017

The scene was that after whole 3 months of Shivika separation, Tia and Shivay collided with each other, coincidentally, which is fine but how they managed to wear the same outfits which they have wore in their last meet that too together, which was flashing as the flashback as they have shooted both the scenes on the same time.

Best Scene of the Week

"Mein najayas hun"

There is nothing more heartbreaking for a person than learning that his entire life he has been living a lie. Something similar happened with Shivaay when Anika finally confessed the reason for their separation that it was his Mother (or well Step-Mother) Pinky who blackmailed Anika with the harsh reality of Shivaay being Shakti and Kamini's son and hence the najayas beta of the Oberoi Family. For someone like Shivaay whose life revolves around his Naam Khoon Khaandan (NKK) beliefs, this truth had the power to break him completely.

As expected Shivaay was shattered on learning this ugly truth of his life but what was surprising was that Shivaay was more upset over the fact that Anika had to leave him because of this. Shivaay's guilt over breaking their relationship broke him completely and he ended up collapsing in Anika's arms.

Fortunately or rather unfortunately Shivaay was under the influence of bhaang and hence forgot the entire conversation the next morning. For now Shivaay doesn't remember but if he does or the truth gets spilled again then we can predict an occurring of a storm. Something which will shake the entire Oberoi family and their relationships with each other.
