If Not For Barun... - Page 4

Well going by that theory, if Barun Sobti wasn't in IPK1, would people have watched it? Let's imagine if it had been XYZ, instead of the actual leads back then, then what?

I dunno. I just seem to find this a pointless post in order to take digs at the show. No one is saying the show is perfect. It has its flaws and yet most of us over here are hooked. I know I am!

People watch shows for their faves, it's natural and not rocket science. Some won't be tuning in due to biased feelings towards IPK1. And some people like me are tuning in because Barun Sobti is back and turning on the heat 😎 And I've been introduced to a very pretty and talented Shivani Tomar!

I hope I haven't come across as rude, because that's not in my nature. Lekin ab toh bas karo, yaaro!

Currently I am here for Barun, even if it was not ipkknd I would have still watched it. If Barun was not there, well if some other good ML was there, then I would have watched it. I started to watch Kasam because Sharad- Kratika caught my attention. Despite many OTT moments and illogical story , I sticked with that show for a long time. So yeah if the jodi is good and mainly if ML is good (since this is a hero centric show mostly)I would have watched it.

Firstly i am really sorry that you have received hate mails. I mean it is only a TV show , not the end of the world 😃 . Well as far as i am concerned i am only here for a healthy debate 😉. Trust me there are many other posts that i have read with a lot of negativity. Even my take on last fridays episode was a mixed one as i really didn't think the pigeons mess was either enjoyable or believable. 😕

But the point i am trying to make here is no it is not just Barun who has drawn me to the show. It is a IPKKND with barun in it and it is produced by Gul . So there are already three reasons for me to be here. Then i found out it was about an anti hero plot. A boy who has lost his family due to mob lynching. So now i had my ears pricked up. To add to it the FL has a past ( well they said acid victim or something ) , so there was more reason to start watching.

The first two weeks were a mess i agree, as far as editing, screenplay or story was concerned. But things have begun to improve from week 3 onwards.

YES IPK banner, Barun and Gul along with a brief summary of the story was the reason i started watched the show.

But the way the show has progressed , Shivani and Baruns equation and Ritu Shivpuri's magnificence has made me continue watching the show.

The reason why i think your questions were unfair is

Watched it for the content?

Content was the main reason that piqued my interest in the show.

Watched it for the chemistry of lead couple?

You cannot deny that there is no chemistry. Especially to ask this question after todays episode is a little unfair. These two are really good together.

Watched it putting up with background music?

As i have said before, nothing wrong in remixing a song. I am loving the BGM especially todays rendering

Watched it after the editing disaster?

The editing has definitely improved a lot. It is only getting better by the day. So yet again it is unfair to nit pit i feel.

And still justify the shortcomings?

No most of us are not justifying. We are criticising where criticism is due.

Justify the the technology?

Absolutely not, I for sure think the OTT scientific madness is too much to handle..

Justify the loose plot?

The story is just 1 month old. We need to give it some time. We can't expect the producers to show all their cards even before the mystery has begun to unfold.

Justify the inconsistent character development?

I do not understand this question. Chandini was shown as having tashan in the first episode in the way she opened the 7up bottle with her mouth., Yes she was afraid of going outside and facing the outside world after the trauma she had undergone. But at home she is a lil princess.

As for Advay, he is still in character. It is clear is playing Chandini at the mo so that he can use her later. How, why and where is something we will have to wait and watch.

Would you still give it time?

Trust me when i say this, i am absolutely not into soaps., I do not watch IB, never watch QH or any of the other silly shows on Telly., But i watched Mere Angne main on SP when the show started. Mainly because it has Kritika desai, Ananya Khare and Varun Badola ( funny another Varun) and also because the plot interested me. But lord oh lord , they never showed anything that they had promised in the promos. Inspite of it i watched it for 3 months hoping that things will improve. Finally i gave up and said good bye to the show forever.

So why have i taken this much time to write this reply. i do not mean to upset you, this is not a hate mail , not even close. This is to anyone who is reading this post and is having doubts about this show. All i am saying is this is a good show. Give it a chance. Take it for what it is a season three of IPK. Go into it without pre conceived notions, except for beautiful romance and a promise of a signature Gul show. Thats all !!

Oh on a lighter note, you should have asked the all important question

Would you all have still watched the show after the Fashion disaster that it has to offer 🤣.

So take care for now . I hope i haven't upset you in anyway . That was never my intention. And yes i LOVE BARUN SOBTI.

I genuinely fail to understand what theory did you point out!

If you find it pointless, that is your opinion, I have got no say in it.

I had just asked some questions, answers to which I wanted to know.

I watch this show because of Barun Sobti. I am not against anyone.

As far as bashing is concerned, I do not see any bashing happening till now.

Will I ever see this forum without anyone taking dig at the show? Wishful thinking!

well I am not a barun fan,I would have given this show a try...I give most 4 Lions shows a try,even if I don't watch regularly.I don't support or defend the flaws of this show...but I am more habituated to this PH's weirdness...I think many here are not habituated because this is the first show of gul they are watching after ipk...I have got news then...her style has changed a lot😆...in some aspects for the better and in some for the worse...people say there is flip in the characters every week or day,that tracks are changed in the blink of an eye...well I think that happens in IB too...for some reason more experience has made this PH more insecure and desperate for trps...but where they have become better is the substance between the couple...the ishqbaaaz couple is so much more than eyelocks..and IMO it would be pretty fine if as the show progresses such substance is put in advay chandni too.

No offense but Why do you want to know? What is it going to get anyone? How will these people opinions matter to you?

If there is no bashing happening till now, credit goes to all sensible people who have been trying to reply politely. Wait for few hours and I bet it will turn into a warzone. Why do we need to make a post that serves no purpose? Aisa kyun karte ho yaar, sabhi bas karo na yaar.

Of course the costumes too must be a shock to some here.😆

As somebody who believes in giving credit where due,I like shivani tomar about this show... oh also,the pigeon thing was a bit too much even for somebody who is habituated with this PH.
