Sweety, this is exactly what bothers me!

Many viewers (or rather I should say readers) are reading the episode updates instead of watching them. A person who is writing the episode Update, Takes, or Musings whatever you want to call them, they are writing it from their perspective, from what they understood and from what they want to understand. That person may not have liked or highlighted a scene in her written update which otherwise would have touched you.

So here is my sincere advice if you really want to follow how this story is doing from time to time... please watch it, don't read what churns out from other's mind. There are so many people out there who are taking lot of precious time from their life to dissect and bash at every flaw in the show but not appreciate even a single positive moment shown. And that's called "biased opinion" and "not being fair at all"! There are so many beautiful moments presented out there that would simply melt one into a puddle!


Finally, I agree there are so many things that need to be improved and as a viewer you can very well point out what's working and what's not working. If & When you watch (not read) the show again, and if you find an area where CVs need to work on, please do leave a message on Gul's Insta or Harneet Twitter (constructively and politely, please). So far they have been very receptive to viewers' feedback and are making some amazing changes. Just saying, if you are interested.

Peace!

My sincere advice is don't compare this show with the season 1. Now in Indian Television everything is kind of loud so yes this show might feel loud for you. And Here Barun is not playing a restrained character like Arnav who is a no nonsense guy. Here Barun is Advay who can go to any extent to manipulate things according to what he wants.

Right now he has no clues whatsoever as to how to solve the mystery of the death of his parents. He has to stay close to the Vasishth family to gather clues and figure out what happened exactly 16 yrs back. That is why he bought the house to stay close to the family and wants to marry Chandni because according to him she betrayed his friendship. He wants to hurt her but can't do it because at a subconscious level he was always Chandni's protector even during their childhood.

I understand your pov. But in my opinion the ph should have given Barun's character a different name ( and not so similar) and the pair an entirely new background music)...it's very difficult to not compare under such similar settings.

I completely understand your reason...as I mentioned earlier it's only for Barun that I am even following the story...actually, we don't have free hotstar in US...so just to watch IPK and tanhaiyaan I have a vpn subscription. Maybe, I have to gather some courage to watch the episodes as you have suggested...it's just too loud and colorful. I hope they time it down with subtle changes.

well sorry , but what is it that you are trying to say here?
How can revenge work , when the girl doesn't even know who the boy is.
How can he exact revenge if he is not around the girl and her family, hence why he bought the house.
He is also here to exact revenge from everyone who was involved in the crime. So he needs to play his cards wisely and find out who all were involved.
At the mo, he is trying hard to make her fall for him. Hence all that flirting and playing around. He plans on making her fall madly in love with him and then wants to break her heart , Big time and in the process also wants to exact revenge and justice from all those who wronged him and his family 16 yrs ago.
At the end of the day it is Iss pyaar ko , kya naam doon!! my friend, so yes it is a love story. he is going to fall in love with her, and she will be proved innocent, obviously.
But of course if you find it too illogical, then this show is not for you for sure,, I am sure star plus offers a variety of shows targeted for a wide range of audiences, You could always watch other shows that suit your preferences,
This show is for those of us who love a dark hero and who will eventually fall madly in love with the very woman he tries to hate,

Cheers
Chitra,



Haaye re Chitra Kya Jawab Diya Hain...taaliyaan...any person having problem don't watch and come to the Forum...Hume toh show bahoot pasand Hain...

Just reading updates can never give you the satisfaction of watching the show

I really am not hung up so much on similar name - Singh Raizada is a very common name across India. Plus the BG score has been repeated on other couples of SP also. But I understand if you feel you tend to compare the 2 things. I guess I and many people have moved on from Season 1 so we are fine with the use of these things. And honestly this is an entirely new show with new premise and new characters. I personally have moved on from attraction push/pull kind of things.

And they have considerably toned down the show now. If you want you can give it a chance or else like I said you can skip it altogether. But I do hope you understand that writing posts without even watching the episodes is going to create negativity for the show.

BTW I too am in US and I watch the show on Sling package on my TV where in I have desi package along with cricket.

Cheers and Peace.

Hi, thanks for the explanations. Thanks for your suggestions too. But, I find your tone extremely offensive and patronizing. I don't watch Ipk3 but just read updates...and that too because of Barun Sobti and as an admirer of the original ipk. Anyways, barging in and bulling wouldn't really help. But thanks anyways.
Hi,

I am really surprised and actually shocked, that you found my post offensive and Patronising and bullying. HAHAH OMG this is the first time i have heard anyone say that to me. Cause i am one hell of a happy positive person who believes in having a healthy debate,
But if you did find my post offensive, then i am really sorry about that , as that was never my intention.
You have started a thread on an open forum , hence there is no question of barging. This thread is open and hence every member on IF can read your post and reply/comment on them unless you had chosen to make it a private thread.
Coming back to my previous post, I think you have seriously misunderstood me. I on the contrary was really surprised with your accusation about the show, Hence i was trying to explain it to you.
You see , let me try and explain again , Revenge cannot start if there is no premise for it, Hence why Advay is trying to acquaint himself with Chandini and her family,
The reason he is flirting is so that she can fall for him and then he can break her heart, big time. hence why he bought the house and hence why he is all lovey dovey at the mo. Its a game he is not serious ,tho he is getting affected by her.
You have asked , that they advertised it as a Revenge drama and you hope they don't turn it into a love story.
But my point is that this show is a part of the IPK franchise, IPK is a love hate , love story. So yes it is a love story , and revenge will eventually get replaced with LOVE. So in my POV the makers are on track. They are showing it as a light hearted flirty one , then they will start the revenge track and then eventually replace it with the falling in love track i guess, We will have wait and give it some time before the revenge will start.
They will make her fall in love with him , then he will break her heart by revealing his true intentions and in the process also exact revenge from everyone else involved.
But every time he hurts her the Dev in him cannot see her in pain , and hence eventually he can't help falling in love with the very woman he hates. Also its obvious that she is going to be proven innocent eventually.
When i initially replied to your post, i was surprised you were saying all this even after having had watched the last few episodes which were simply superb.
But now since you mention that you are basing your opinions just on the updates you have read, I think that it is a very unfair thing to do.
Trust me watch the last few episodes and then try and judge this show. I am sure you will love it. the chemistry is brill and you reason behind his flirting will also make more sense then,
The reason he is trying to save her from PP ( her fianc ) is because he is a very ethical and protective sort of a guy. At the end of the day she is his childhood bestie. He cannot bring himself to see her in harms ways and hence why this show works.
We here on this forum , including everyone who has taken the time to comment on your thread, are one happy , crazy and positive bunch of people. We criticise when it is due and we also cry laugh , bang our heads and still drool over Advay. Hence no one on this forum is going to offend or patronise you let alone bully. If i had truly done so, trust me everyone them would have told me off big time, but on the contrary people are supporting my words.
However, my advise remains the same that even after having watched ( not read ) the last few episodes, if you still think its not your cup of tea, then we totally respect that and it may be a good idea to stop watching the show. But please if you don't like it then stop watching the show instead of starting a thread trying to criticise it for no reason.

Hence let me apologise to you once again for my previous post and also for this one, just incase you find this one too offensive, trust me that was never my intention.

Cheers

Chitra
