thanks for posting will check it out

thanks Angie for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing the article. Baisakhi was the assitant creative head when Shetty's were incharge of CB1 (the beginning part of the show). When they left around August/September and the Choubey's took over, Baisakhi became the creative head and as far as I remember she remained in this position till the fiasco of the one night stand between Dev and Vishaka happened. There was a huge backlash from the audience regarding what they were planning to show and I think the channel/PH changed their mind at the last moment (what they showed in the media segments regarding what will be shown in the episode was different to what was actually shown). Anyway after that episode was broadcast, her name was no longer in the credit list.

Misti, thanks for the information. I did not know that Baishaki was involved with CB1. I started reading this information only when CB2 started. So I remember that Joy Mukherjee was CH for CB2 in the beginning.

But angie, though Avi did good, the scenes were just loking as a copy paste

Hari, I haven't seen even one episode of IPK1. Also I haven't seen any love stories of Lion Productions or other PH. So it is hard for me to know what is new and what is being repeated.

Angie...

Hari, I agree to a large extent to what you are saying. If they want to make this 6:00 p.m. slot successful, they need to bring some innovative elements. But this is just one episode. Also if you notice, most of romantic scenes are same between the couple in TV serials. It depends on which couple you like. From what some mentioned, IPK1 scenes are similar to Geet's scenes. So there is a copy and paste. But once audience start falling for lead characters, such scenes become part of the show and the story takes over. Hopefully, this would be the case with this show too.

Hari I have watched IPKKND on an on and off basis and the similarities are there. As Angie said I think the similarities have been there for a reason...to maintain the IPKNND brand name and maybe later they will not be so obvious but more subtle. As an example if one reads a Mills and Boons romance then all the stories under that brand name are similar...they have more or less similar introductions to the leads and the endings are also similar...just the way the individual stories are dealt with are different and it usually depends on who is writing the story...but generally they are still very similar to each other.

Another thing is that whether one likes it or not EBP will be compared to the first show (even if one is not doing it deliberately). All sequels are compared and stories under the same brand name are also compared. It is something that the makers, the actors and audience have to take in stride while dealing with this show.
