I more I think about it the more I feel we are feeling that something is weird, strange and this sense of something missing and things not being quite as they should be and that all is not right with the world. This mood of the episode is not because we didn't like it but more because this was the mood intentionally created. It's what we were meant to feel and we are mirroring Shivika's feelings. Because isn't this exactly what they were feeling without quite knowing why? This sense of loss, melancholy and feeling bereft. So even if someone is playing mind games and has changed everything as they and we know it he hasn't been completely able to take that sense of undefinable loss away because their connection is so strong.

And I think it's this way because this not done merely to illustrate something to them but because Awasthi not only felt challenged but also slighted so he is hell bent on proving them wrong and therefore all the impossible odds stacked against them. So none of the things and traits and conflicts that drew them to each other exist.

Also I think we are all still processing it. We haven't seen enough to know whether we like this or not. My initial reaction was also that everything seemed lack lustre. It's only once I got over that that I realised that it's because Shivika's world is lack lustre without each other. What happens from now on and how this changes and how they find each other through this will be interesting. I am very intrigued. And I did feel all that emotion. I think what took me a little while to understand is that it's just something that I am not used to feeling with respect to Shivika. It was a different emotion. And that's why I was grappling with it the same as they are grappling with it. In fact I think NM-SC did very well to project that difference. We were all in some way reeling from it. It needed some reflection.

I think this on interestingly poised now. The possibilities definitely hold my attention for now. I am curious to watch what happens next. Harneet please see it through properly and don't spoil it.

Shivika remembering their first meeting.. people awwing over them and then their walking hand in hand in rain was cute..but to be seperated by the mentalist baba...the new changes will take time to get on with the viewers & agree the most horrid is the new daadi.. now she 's wearing saris with heavy sets.. wonder they couldnt find someone with a punjabi accent.. the actor has more of a gujrati/ maharashtran one .. she did fine in her previous show

I left ishqbaaz 7months back.I might start to watch it again after this revamp.I always loved Shivika and their love story will be good to watch once again.
The only dissapointing thing is Dadi.I like the previous one.

I haven't had a chance to check out anything. In a cab en route to the airport at the moment. But this sounds bad. I was honestly dreading this yesterday Fary. That was one of the reasons why I took some time to process because this possibility was the first thought that cane to me and irritated me a lot. Then I decided that I am just assuming things and should focus on what was shown rather than what I dread. But obviously my fears were not as unfounded as I thought. The fizz has just gone out of this for me again. Couldn't they let us be in peace for a little while?

I am open to this new experiment, or whatever name it is.
This concept reminds me of a book I read few months back " Immortal talks" where they discuss about the scenes (incidents in life) that a character(individual) chooses to experience and play out in his or her life.

Like say...
I travel from point 1 to Point 2. In between the start and destination I have choices to go through sub points A,B,C,D and E. Its my choice to cross points A B and reach point 2 or go through scenes in life/experience as I pass through C D, then move on to point 2. Or a third option being cross AB or CD, both of which leads you to E and then hop onto point 2.

I don't know if I made my thoughts clear. Khair...

Loved the hollow lost and unusually calm nature of Anika and Shivay. Gives the feeling that they have gone back to that point in time where they don't know each other. Yet they are the same and hence that ingrained sense of loss without each other's presence in life.

Its amazing to see the distant look in NM and SC's eyes. Beautiful variation within an episode where initially they had that warm in-love fuzzy feeling reflected in their eyes. And now that soul-less feeling.

Soul-mates come back to each other. Can the not-so-soulmates go their own ways please. Even zindagi (twisted mentalist ke zariye hi sahi) is giving a lovely opportunity. Shivika also win and Awasthi ji also wins.

I miss my Dadi. She was full of life and the bond was evident. Hope she recuperates sooner.

I must admit Lee was good in his restrained approach or say with an air of maturity at least in this first episode. Yes I said first episode. That's how I want to take it as. A new story with my favorites.

Nakuul and Surbhi, amazing variation to their respectively changed persona of Shivay and Anika.

Loving it so far.

The rain scene in first half was lovely, their struggle in the storm and wind, Shivay watching rain with dislike ( he has lost a part of himself in it when he separated from her) and Anika kind of squinting an eye as it rains to comprehend the shift that has happened and when she can't fathom goes on to say aisa lag raha hai kuch bada ho gaya ho, yes its BIG, they are no more them, but it gives this kind of feeling that the transformation that both experienced IN LOVE with each other is sort of subdued, or "dafnaoed" deep within their existence.

Until, destiny brings them back together. Aakhir wedding planner will organize Shivay ka roka/shadi . Ab this is a constant in the story. Yeh life, woh life, back in time, time machine, reverse time machine, whatever, BILLU's shaadi is THE EVENT.

Lets see how Shivay's love for family is depicted here. The core factor which made Anika love him so deeply is absent here, I think.
As for Anika, lets see what makes Shivay have that pull towards her that he did before.

Hope they hold onto the idea that they have within their minds and let the story play out. I just don't want them to hurry back to safety or comedy which seems their forte.

Lovely write up Anu, as always.

I am literally confused what has happened. 😆 Okay! I get it, Shivika challenges the mentalist and then they go towards jungle and we see heavy storm coming with thunder, lighting and rain which causes Shivika to walk apart from each other.

It's defo not reincarnation, neither it looks like a memory loss and it does not look like, they have been sent to past because their characters are so different to episode 1. Or the mentalist has casted a spell on Shivika which have completely changed them.😕

So what are they exactly showing! It seems like it's a season 2 of IB with same leads but different story and characters. Something like Kitani Mohabbat Hai (old EK show which had 2 seasons).

GulNeet did not make it obvious, what they have shown in yesterday's episode. So how will viewers really understand about what is going on in IB land. :/


Also they have changed Daddi, I will miss old Daddi. :( This new Daddi does not fit with O'Bros and I did not really find their bonding heart warming.

Idk to what to really say about this whole redux thing because it was first episode but I really think it lacked something. It did not give me old IB vibe. But I'll wait for a week before I judge it.

It seems like SSO does not has his Tadi anymore and he looked so lost. I really hope they keep the Billu reference in because that made SSO different to other ML. I'm gonna miss the tadibaaaz bagar billa. 😭 Also someone said SSO is a doctor, man I just can't take this. I hope they keep SSO as a business man. Hopefully GulNeet don't butcher SSO's character (or don't get rid of his old character's traits) because he is my most favourite character. ❤️

Anika does not seems to have her Kidkitod image and also her colourful dictionary lol. All these things made me love Anika's character. She looks rather shy and very quite now. Seems like they have given old Anika's role to someone else. 🥱

I feel they should have kept the original characters of SSO and Anika and only change the storyline but the makers have changed everything. It might be difficult for fandom to accept new avatars of Shivika.

Also they should keep the Paani reference for Shivika like throwing water on each other and their pool scenes because this is Shivika's signature.

Anyways I'll give a chance to whole redux thing because I watch IB for Shivika and O'Bros. I hope they give proper justice to Shivika's new story and don't waste NaRbhi's talent. :)

Also avoid forced and lame Groupbaaazi this time!

Okay this is my take on it, take this shivika redux as track like any other ishqbaaaz track, this mentalist won't be important at the end!

I have a feeling that if this redux thing is unsuccessful and it doesn't bring in the required trp the makers can easily rush the whole thing and make it out as a dream and shivika wakeup after the storm back in the same spot or in the car and then drive back to reality!

That's the best thing they are giving us a new story without even spoiling what they have created originally, it's not travelling back in time or rebirth or even season 2 it's all reversible like nothing even happened! The makers can snap out of this dream world anytime they want 😆

Oh! So the whole redux thing is not permenant, just a temporary track like other usual tracks of IB?

Is this whole redux thing a Shivika's dream after they have been challenged by Mentalist?

I don't mind a new story with same leads but makers should retains the old characters of actors rather than changing it completely because it is just a huge change to digest.
