Honestly what I feel is that people are being too much judgemental...
If Chandni was a 6-7year old kid back then, Advay was also a kid of about 14-15 years and before judging his intentions as right or wrong people needs to place themselves in his position...what he has gone through when his father was killed just b4 his eyes with some wrong accusations and his mom being burnt alive as his closest friend Chandni's claimed that she have seen her flying ...People are complaining about if it is justified to take revenge for something which a child had told...just think that her one word had completely destroyed Advay's whole world and even his existence... He was ALSO A KID BACK THEN ...may be little grown up, but he was still a kid...
But still as a kid he is not completely blaming Chandni as he knows and have that little common sense ki many people are in this plotting game, and he needs to find them out, and for that he needs to be close to Chandni's family through Chandni...
Nothing complicated here...just people need to keep calm and understand the situation...like today they have showed other characters as well..
And the main thing had this been way round, Chandni seeking revenge from Advay people would have gone gaga over it...
Ok I should end it here...

I have TRP aunty (my mom) right here with me... again she watches all the TRP top shows, watched IPK1, which is how I started watching the show, as I would catch it in passing & then got hooked into it.. finally binge watching on Youtube (this was prior to removal by Star India)...
Even though I record on DVR & watch it in family room, she won't join me.. the main reason is she didn't like the promos, that burning her saree, putting her in path of falling Ravana etc.. she was really really put off those promos... oh plus she absolutely detested Daddi wala Barun...

As you said, even though I told her it has improved.. she will not start as she says she already watches 5 shows.. I think the new upcoming one with Daughter/Mother one she might watch.. more her cup of tea..

I personally think why first worked & this one isn't with TRP aunties is that first one romance came later on.. if you think about it.. initial was full on family drama.. usual Dowry issue for low middle class family.. FL trying to save family.. intense romance started much later.. & believe me aunties are very uncomfortable with it..

Hi Guys,

As you know I don't want to engage in a TRP debate...and I certainly didn't want to get into that debate on my thread...so opening this one...just to share something...please feel free to share your views...We dot have to agree but just be respectful to all...

Was talking to mom in India...who is an avid TV watcher...Star being her favorite channel...watches NK and IB ...
She is a TRP aunty...And has watched IPK1 with interest...

Her feedback on IPK3
I watch it sometimes...but I am not liking the story...
How can someone hold grudge against a small child like that? It makes no sense...
What the heck is the writer showing...when they show a man walks into a girls room at night and when the girl walks into his so often...? Ye bhi koi Tareeka hei Badla lene ka? I don't like that!


What she said she liked was...
MIkus character...(WOW...I know right? We on IF had written him off...)But his character is simple and makes sense to my mom...incidentally ...she had not picked up that Mikku is Advays brother...
She says...the girl is pretty...😃
She liked the fimly poses...
She likes that ML is showing ...more decent behavior now...(although I had to point it out to her that he is...because at this point...she thinks both PP and Advay are similar sleezbags...)


There you have it...Not writing it to debate...but just to share some feed-back! It is important for her to get hooked up to a show in the beginning...if that doesn't happen...she will not consider watching it from the middle...


Yes unfortunately for TRP audience they can't accept a dark hero. It is only us who are online look for character consistencies and look for more detailed insight into the character. For the normal TRP audience they want good looking leads and good dose of entertainment and romance. TV is an escape into fiction for them.

Is it any wonder that Gul got Barun shaved and groomed from the 3rd week. Right now the fanbase for this show is mostly online and international. And in India it is split and mostly Barun fans who are holding the show. The media's negativity might have also affected the audience general interest, plus the ban on BTS segments made it really hard for audience to even know what track is going on in the show.

This week onwards we are having lot of BTS segments and I hope that translates into audience tuning in for the show. And they have considerably toned down Advay's aggressiveness towards Chandni - The creatives are showing that it is Chandni who is falling for Advay now and also they showed PP as a total sleazebag so you have audience rooting for Advay - Chandni and not Chandni - PP. Gul once mentioned that they had to considerably tone down the darkness of Arnav because of TRPs. I would hate it to say but somehow I feel they are going to show Chandni as completely innocent here and only Indrani to be culprit who played both Dev's family and Chandni.

And now that Mikku is in the picture hopefully the family reunion of brothers will happen and both brothers trying to find each other and missing out couple of times - That would be a good twist.

In short what we on IF think and what audience in general wants are 2 different things.

I don't think promos were that bad because DABH 2 had a promo where in the husband asks the wife to wash his feet and drink that water and then another promo where they show the husband is asking for agni pareeksha from his wife on suhaagraat and there was symbolic burning of the nupital bed. And that show has gotten 1.9 TRP.

So no I don't think the promos were bad - I agree with a groomed Barun vs daddi wala Barun. No wonder Gul has gotten a new montage now for the show. The old one had Barun too aggressive.

Even for IPK1 the show didn't start to click until the Diwali track and it mostly had teenagers as fans. Later on only it got solid fanbase and IPK1 was more popular overseas than in India. That is what I think it will happen here also - IPK3 will be more popular overseas and in India it will take time to make its mark.

Critics call it cliched and want new matured revenge wala story

SP wants business
PH wants success
Media wants buzz
Fans want Barun's show
Intellectuals want to bash somehow

Shath pratishath satisfaction kaise kar sakta hai??

As I mentioned this is from TRP aunty in my home & her sisters...

It is already #1 in UK... problem with India is hip crowd won't watch Indian drama & those who watch don't like this kind of content.. that is why we end up with the same saas-bahu stuff over & over...

No problem they can still turn it around. Anyways they have toned down the characters. So now advay can be shown as enquiring about the actual people who killed his parents and taking revenge on them . Amd he can hate Chandni with a vengeance and then later break her heart. Nobody can blame a guy for hating the girl who caused the tragic death of his parents. Intelligent or not noone will be able to forgive that crime immediately even if it was done unintentionally.

Your title interested me. My mom & aunts in India are part of TRP junta too. All of them watch SP, they watched IPK1. None of them liking this show, they feel the romance is inappropriate & sleazy at times for 8pm. They are not liking the concept of Advay's revenge on a little girl! Plus they got put off by the Bahubali & pigeon episodes. After pigeon fest, they have switched to Tenali!

Since they loved IPk1(Khushi wala show she calls it), they do tend to compare and obviously 3 falls short on all fronts. Mom was in love with KKG, buaji & mamiji characters, she isn't liking Chandini, says dum nahin hai usme. Aur woh buaji mami ji waali baat nahin iss show ke characters mein!
