IB writers from day one - Page 2

Gul doesn't believe in her own stories. She did that with IPKKND 1, IPKKND 3, and Qabool Hai. She relies on the rating too much which is important to stay in business but you have to have some faith in your story to follow through at least one strong. Shows like Kuch rang pyar ke, ek duje ke vaaste, and yeh un dino ki baat don't get high TRPs but there story lines haven't been compromised. Gul starts out with good ideas and then she abandons them right away if she doesn't get a good result. Never followed through with IB though so can't say anything. I saw few episodes here and there in earlier days and don't know why do they have a redux of it. but yeah, this show will probably get more and more weird if they are introducing leaps because of one actor leaving. If they would've worked on their story and build up the ensemble cast, they wouldn't have this problem.

also it's super weird how she blames online fans for the unpopularity of her tracks. Most of the online fans stick through the goddamn shows. I stuck with IPKKND 1 till the end. It's those who watch the show live are the ones whose unresponsiveness is what she should care about. blaming track changes on online fans and there reactions is the stupidest thing ever. she should elarn from ekta how to stick with a story. her shows are terrible but at least they don't switch stories until they've reached a desired end. they get weird if they keep on going and the story has already ended. then her shows get real crazy. but still, ekta;s shows have the story what she shows in her promos before the story starts. they don't just focus on one person when they have four characters who are instrumental. just look at the joke of a show kumkum bhagya and kundali bhagya. at least the cast that counts have their own character arcs. her actors leave show after they get tired of repetitive tracks.

Too much cat fur in the brain of lekhikaji to really introspect and realise what cat poop she has been presenting recently. But NO!!! with an ego as tall as Empire State Building she thinks that she is dishing out Michelin starred delicacies for us!!! * please insert a sarcastic gif*

Ishqbaaaz had so much scope and Shivika of RU was unique. I sometimes am astonished that the same writer came up with this! Often writer's have 'writer's block'; I understand,empathise and commiserate and the Ishqbaaaz fandom have been very accommodating and I am sure would have been in future too but no!; the CVs went off in another tangent and in the process ruined some iconic characters.

Anyways,as the producer-writer duo says it's their creation and they have every right to do whatever they want with their creation,so besides venting out our frustration and then choosing a different path/channel,as once pointed by our esteemed producer that there are 800 other shows to choose,we can do nothing else it seems. So much for loyal viewership!!!!

Rohini, as you have reminded me, I liked Ishana character, but not the way they proceeded with it. Completely illogical. But I must remember myself that IB started out as best Rom-Com youngster family show. If only they stuck to their original ideas and characters, it would have become a show like friends' with the best ensemble cast! Alas! Makers have killed their gold-laying goose with an idea to acquire all gold in one shot!

Yes the characters and comic timings during the first 100 or so episodes was great barring Ishaana track...

But those never fetched them real numbers in TRP race...

To cater to 3 different love stories in a span of 21 min is real big task unless you have a competent writing team...which knowing Gul, we know is not possible...her writing team is always the same and we know how much of rinse and repeat has been done in last 700 episodes even for Shivika...

Rom-com types works for a seasonal shows...not for a daily soap...ppl loved initial IB but what held mostly fans through last 700 episodes is Shivika...

Whether leap works or not or how much time will it be on air, we never know..we are not TRP audience...and I have never really understood the pulse of TRP audience...looking at the BARC chart every Thursday reminds me that... 😆

"Rinse and repeat how can we even forget!!! If only we had protested, instead of trolling, we would have faced the end of Shivika and IB Long before instead of tragic end of Shivika and IB going on!!! For the love of Shivika, we put up with everything though face palming and head desking!!! Now too our love for Shivika, facing tragic end along with them.

One thing, I agree, TRP audiences get news of the spoilers only from SBS, SBB, etc. They are not aware of the actual story behind the scene. They just know what is telecasted on TV, have no clue on the effort put behind the making of the show. Channel and PH taking advantage of this. But they forget that IB has run so Long only coz of online audiences!!!! Let's c. I am ready with popcorns and French fries

So true we can't predict the future of the new season. But, the new season is already burdened with the baggage that it's laden with from the first season. NM's performance, chemistry with the new lead, supporting cast & everything else is going to get compared with what has gone by. Gul & her writing team never stick to the story they want to tell. It's either change actors, modify tracks accordingly to social media feedbacks or try some cliched TRP stuff which fails. What worked was the patience of the Shivika fans, to stick to the crappy writing. For the new season new fans may come in. What remains to be seen is after the initial curiosity who remain to watch? Because we all are very aware of the rinse repeat story line, the terribly etched layered arcs of our writer along with her limited range in writing.

It is solely the writing team which has brought about the debacle of the current IB, no matter what the channel or makers say. Whatever the kind of writer's block HS & her team are facing, is a long term problem for sure!!
