Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 is supposed to be a romantic thriller. Full of surprises, twists and turns. Everyone in the cast and crew said...Bohut kuch hone wala hain...aap log soch bhi nahi sakte...
So I thought, why not make a list of all the twists that have been revealed in the show so far hum soch bhi nahi paye? How about making a list of plot twists which we really couldnt predict so far...Let's see...
1. Kabir is the villain.
Could we predict? Check.
2. Anupriya is stepmom.
Prediction? Check.
3. The statue is of Vansh's ex and the painting of his real mom.
Double Check.
4. Anupriya is the black suit person who burnt the painting.
Check.
5. Sunny is Vansh's guy...and he is alive.
Check.
6. Diary of Ragini was arranged by Vansh.
Check.
7. YG is Anupriya.
Check.
8. Anupriya is Kabir's mom.
Yeh bhi...Check.
9. Kabir wants Vansh's property.
Check. Check and ek aur Check.
So, how many twists did the makers introduce that we could not count? Lemme count...lemme count...Oh yeah, got it. Zero. Yeah, that's right...
The number of truly unpredictable twists is ZERO.
Yes, we did have some extra theories like Siya/Ragini being YG. But we did also discuss about Anupriya. The height was a giveaway. Arre...we toh even predicted minor scenes like Vansh draping sari around Riddhima. 😆

Now. Time for some honesty.
If I put aside my fandom for a moment, and judge this show objectively...then Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 is a JOKE of a thriller. An absolute piece of joke. This show has offered us nothing that we havent seen in Ekta Kapoor's shows before...
Same old...evil stepmom...evil half-brother...property related feud. Hero turning into villain and villain turning into hero.
The ONLY saving grace of this show are the basic premise with which it began and Riansh. Riansh are the only reason I am watching the show. Had it been some other less enticing pair, I would have quit long back.
Mistake me not guys. This is NOT a bashing thread...but more like constructive feedback from a loyal viewer. I hope CVs realize they are not doing a great job.
I am fine with cliched tropes like shower scene and fake pregnancy in the romantic aspect of the show. In fact I crave for those.
But where the thriller part is concerned, there is nothing new here. I hope somebody tells the writers this, so that they know what we feel.
