Why am I still watching IKRS ?
Can I even call it watching when for the past few weeks I have been skipping episodes , the ones that I watch I fast forward the You-Know-Who sections and at times even press the mute button when You-Know-who gets abused .
I truly gave it a deep thought as I honestly spend a good part of my productive day thinking of the show , participating on the forum , discussing , fretting , hitting the chaska meter and responding to so many posts and friends. Is that the only attraction or is there something else.
A diagnosis was required and I questioned as to why would any reasonable person watch this show.
The Concept . Widow remarriage with a backdrop of Benaras. We all know what happened to that Within 6 months. its all gone and done with.
The male protagonist . He was new for me but to a lot of us he is a well respected actor and his return was much awaited. A lot of us believe though not entirely agree that this role is a shadow of what he played before and this may not be his best .
Great story telling . Twists and turns that keep the viewer engaged . Tracks that build up well and executed superbly . This show can definitely take a few lessons on this one.
The lead characters . Viplav and Dhani who are constantly made a scape goat of by the writers. Brave Dhani turns chicken and intelligent Viplav turns dumb.
The romance . A solid scoring point but if the story is week how can a show stand on just hugs and kisses. they become boring after a while.
Indeed , current logic says that it is a waste of time and to cut ones losses and move on. And then an episode as today (05/22) happens ..just at the nick of time when you have given up on every little hope you had and this is where it struck me.
My belief, faith and hope in the Viplav -Dhani's love story is what keeps me hanging on. I so desperately want them to succeed , beat all odds and stand up against those nay sayers and declare that nothing can part them . the vows they have taken are for keeps and they are One.
Viplav soon will be at crossroads , is it his Love or his family. If he follows Dhani without his family he will not be happy and if with his family then cannot be happy without Dhani . Which path will he choose ? And Dhani who unknowingly has let him down today will she understand his turmoil . Will they both live thru the good and the bad ? they have made a promise to do so ..Right ?
And here I say it - ITS MY ISHQ WITH ISHQ THAT KEEPS ME HOOKED . Taking the good and the bad and my sworn love to stick by it for as long as it takes.
This is me and what I think . What is your reason ? Would love to hear your thoughts.
