I didn't realised when a month passed by for this show until i saw some posts mentioning it here...from the very moment, was planning for this but couldn't as my priorities are the existing threads...but finally got time today...sunday..no IKRS...not much posts plus not have to make vidha special...so jumped on to this...STRICTLY MY POV...here i shoot:

⭐️Concept: this was the thing that drove me to the show...the concept...widow and her life...a very refreshing one...but something that needed a lot of proper handling being sensitive...and i must say this show survived up to my expectation...the month has been a really nice mirror for us into the lives of widows, their sufferings, their pain and the society's attitude towards them...all these things were handled with proper care...they are not rushing out for anything, rather, exploring the different sides of a widow's life through a variety of characters(discussed in later section in this post) in a sensible manner...best thing is, they have brought out how the single curse , widow, bring different impact on different people depending on their mentality and situation...

⭐️Storyline,execution and direction: these are the things that have impressed me most in the show...first of all storyline...though its nothing new, like hero coming across heroine...heroine falling in trouble and hero accidently , coincidentally saving her...but still it impresses as the different characters and their stories are connected in a decent way...not abrupt...though looks bit OTT that the leads always come across each other...but the best part it, its the story which brings out so many different issues rather than just the widow thing...many issues like a lady's situation based on her kid, by means of dadi and kanak...a girl suffering obesity in form of shalu...disability in form of shambhu...etc...the execution is very nice...each thing is being presented in a very decent way...leaving good impact...going step by step...not jumping from one thing to other...maintaining the pace...unfolding small small details at the right time...and direction is going very nice...good job...right from the beginning scene of the three friends enjoying, to viplav's chasing of dhani to seek forgiveness...to the recent vidha moments they gave...

⭐️Characters: Backbone of the show...its awesome characters...there are a bunch of characters but some of them are so strong and impactful...coming to the lead...viplav...the hero...but not the usual hero...ideal,noble,perfect in everything,calm,composed, charity guy...these are the words used for the hero's previously...but today, the heroes are the one who are realistic...and viplav is among the perfect example for it...yes he is a pure soul, but like a normal person, he is also a bit impatient..can;'t control his anger much and won't keep smiling or say some small mahan words on being insulted...he is natural,close to reality, ready for faceoff if u challenge...fun loving, full of life carefree, rich spoilt brat with a clean and pure heart filled with love for his close ones and humanity for the rest of the world...imperfectly perfect...now dhani...not as strong as viplav but doing justice suiting the concept...though her self -righteousness is irritating at times but she always got a reason for this...a girl who is living holding the hand of this rituals, have dedicated herself to it and her anger is brought out as soon as viplav started created trouble for her...rajlakshmi, i will quote next..for me the strongest character...outspoken...whatever is in her heart, is on her lips..the girl who realises being punished for no fault and is ready to rebel against it and all those people who try to keep her struck in this ill rules...she is actually a personification of the widow's inner self...forced to follow everything but filled with her fantasies and desires...DT, a villain of today's generation..the lusty, callous , greedy devil in the mask of a nobleman and ideal...tripurari is another interesting character bringing out the shades of hatred and revenge...rest characters are nice too , like shalu and shambhu used to knock the doors of other issues of society which are normally ignored..the only problem is dulaari with her OTT attitude at certain situations...

⭐️Cast: The show have indeed gathered a super talented cast...mishal needs no words..he is perfect in his job..this is coming from someone who is watching mishal for the first time...i can't imagine anyone else playing viplav now...he provides the intensity...eisha initially looked low on confidence though decent on performance, but with time she have improved a lot and is much confident now..we can expect more from her in future...actor playing DT(forgot name) is a veteran and doing proper justice to his tag...actress playing rajlakshmi is also doing superb job along with actor playing tripurari...

⭐️Flavours of the show: This show offers many flavours to the viewers...seriousness,reality check, fun, sarcasm, love, relationships, humanity, cruelty to name some...

⭐️Relationships: The show have highlighted many beautiful relationships..viplav-dadi, dhani-indrani being my fav...

⭐️Overall: The show lived up to the expectations in the first month...and i hope it continue entertaining us the same way it have done till now...though its going awesome, but there's always a scope for improvement and i want that improvement to make it excel..

Roopal .. well done excellent presentation ,as I would call it.. your comments with regards to the show. The subheadings render easy reading of how you have broken down your reasoning.I too was apprehensive that cvsmight drag the subject of the plight of the widows to death. but thankfully they didn't. The issue of widows eviction from their shelter, comes across as a genuine problem that concerns the basic need of shelter just like food. Also it will be a back bone of the track for some time till the widows are granted a place of shelter.. dhani and viplav.. relationship sheds light on how feasible or not is it for a widow to remarry.. so yes so far so good for the show ,as it highlights issues which draw upon human sympathy and maintain viewers interest.. The show has substance.. and will go a long way.
thanks for your post.. it was needed and I certainly welcome it..
love hammie..

Superb.

I too liked the show. I hope it lasts for a long time. But sadly good content shows don't get good TRPs.

Hey great review on the whole month, Roopal! Agree the show has certainly lived upto our expectations. I just want to mention one thing which comes to my mind about how different IKRS is from other shows. The important pillars of any show are its leads and how far they're realistic to the viewers. Have watched lot of shows which have a heroic, mahanta moorthis, Ott trip an fall romances. But this show is without such OTT things. Hero is far from showing just heroism but a next door kinda guy who we can totally relate to and a calm but an angry bird female lead. She rightly got angry at Viplav for putting her in trouble and at the right occasion she forgot the grudge she held against him when the time needed. Through that incident she realised she isn't a rogue but a trustworthy guy with a hint of childishness in him! "Das saal jaise" in her own words. She tries hard to not show her change of perception in front of others so that she wouldn't have to face any insults on her values from people like RL and DT. She is very much of an understandable girl and very close to realistic! The leads have very good chemistry, so watching this show is a total pleasure'

hii Roopal.😊..awesome review...i agree with all your points...👏
Firstly the show is doing immense justice to the brilliant plot...somehow the plight and suffering of widows get completely dusted under the carpet...its like they stop existing...for their families , friends and the society as a whole...i am glad the show makes no bones about it and shows a spade to be a spade...but i also love the aspect that the widows are not some crying dukhiyaris who are constantly seen cribbing and crying over their fate...these women have managed to live with dignity and self respect...because of this i love Badi Amma...and Raaj lakshmi...just like you , Raajlakshmi is also one of my favs...because she is fiery and fair and 3-dimensional...and yes she has her issues but which person doesnt...this is another of my favourite aspects of this show...none of the characters are 2-D card board cutouts..also Tanya...i know many people dont like her but she is also quite inspirational...well-educated and someone who is capable of showing empathy to the plight of the widows...i loved that scene when tanya explains how they will get the duplicate documents from the relevant offices. ...be it raaj-lakshmi or viplav or dhani...they all have their positive and negative points which make them real and grounded...

Secondly i am in love with Viplav ( and not just because how brilliantly he is being portrayed by Mishal)...i saw Mishal in his previous shows infrequently but Viplav is such an unconventional character. he has flaws and somewhat typical faults but he also has a heart of gold...somebody who is capable of losing his head in furious rage but also has the capability of bowing his head and asking for forgiveness...i love how Viplav is layered...
for me, personally ,acting has always been more important than the plot. i believe a brilliant actor can raise a mediocre script to great heights but bad acting can ruin even the greatest of stories...Mishal and the rest of the cast prove this...the story is not new..we all know what is going to happen in the future...still the cast has managed to infuse freshness and novelty to the story...

Finally, i love how this show has managed to cast light on so many social issues... patriarchy , double-faced gurus and how they manipulate innocent people , issues of people like shambhu and shalu...also i love how the show has this plethora of strong women - Badi amma , Raajlakshmi , Tanya , Vidhi...

i am really hopeful the show will do good..it has all the qualities of becoming path-breaking television...
