Justify the inconsistent character development?
Would you still give it time?
Would you?
I think the above questions in themselves are unfair.
Well lets put it this way , a senseless Salman Khan movie like Jai ho, Kick or even Tubelight for that matter of fact makes 1oo crore. Why is that so? It is because Salman is a brand. He has earned that love and stardom that he can single handedly with out a good script etc etc still bring in the numbers.
Barun too is someone like that. He is a brand. Barun has earned this stardom. He is ASR . IPK would not even exist without Barun. Also when you know that Barun has taken up a project, you know for sure that it has to be a good story , a meaningful one and it is going to be a visual romantic treat😳 to all the viewers. We go into it expecting 10hr long eye locks and trip and fall and brush and graze of skin and all the dhak dhak and acidity while different versions of rabba vey blast away in the BG.
So we are talking about a brand here. Barun is the brand of IPK itself. ( well yes so is Sanaya). But if either were to return to IPK alone or together i think they have all the right to as they were the ones who created the magic with IPK.
Well TBH even if sanaya was to come back in next season without Barun , i would still sit and watch the show for her, as she too is the brand of IPK.
There are too many shows on the TV with shoddy concept , screenplay dialogues and sequences, Yet they manage to garner TRP's and appreciation.
Here we have the king himself, gracing out TV screens after 5 long years. Instead of criticising and nit picking, we need to sit down and give the show a chance.
To answer your question : No , Barun is not why I started watching, The fact that it is IPKKND is what piqued my interest. Barun is only the icing on the cake. I came with a certain expectation and so far the show has impressed me. i am loving all the characters, the chemistry and the story line too seems really good.
The character is that of an anti hero, who has dealth with personal tragedy that we cannot even imagine or empathise with. ONLY BARUN and no one other than BARUN can justify this complicated complex character of Advay.
Ok Yes i also am here for BARUN SOBTI, but thats because i want to see how well Barun steps into Advays character. I want to enjoy this journey of IPK with Advay Singh Raizada and am only grateful that it will be Barun who will be taking us on this journey. I am not here to watch Barun try to do a Arnav, this story belong to Advay and Chandini and I am here to watch these two burn down the screen with their anger, passion, lust , hate and love.
The BGM's are remixed version of Rabba vey and I don't think there is anything wrong in that. There are many remixes of old classics happening even in bollywood, so what if IPK do the same.
Most of us are not justifying the short coming or the flaws in the show. If you were to read the posts on this forum , many of the posts, including the ones that i have written , all clearly criticise the negatives. We are here to have a good time. We will appreciate and we will criticise but all the while we will love Barun and Gul for having the courage to face all the criticism and still create such a magical show for us.
