**Chuckles** Not all the fault finders, cribbers, analyzers are intelligent, smart or even remotely analytical. An intelligent viewer would know this is a fiction, an smart viewer would know there's such a notion as creative liberty and an analyst would NOT think from HIS/HER point of view but a good analyst would think from the pov of the creator or from the prevailing trend.
There were many things wrong with the show but this is not the only show with flaws. At the moment, there are 100's of show leading in TRP charts that have flaws galore.
From what I have observed of Gul Khan's shows, her shows take a while min 4 months to gain ratings which was denied to this show. Second point was.. Gul Khan blundered badly when she suddenly shifted to Mumbai. If you follow TRP charts, the Allahabad track was beginning to gain ground when she suddenly pulled a Houdini and brought the show to Mumbai thus losing the already established viewership base which was thoroughly confused by the change. The channel did not provide enough time frame for the Mumbai track to cover ground. <- This was a HUGE mistake on her part.
That brings some introspection on my part... Why do I love this show so much? Why can't I find anything wrong with the show , some minor things ( like weird costumes in the beginning ) maybe but overall I think IPKKND3 was an awesome show. Story, dialogue, enactment was better than many many shows on TV. I will rewatch all episodes as soon as it ends this week. Sometimes I come across clips here and there and my mind is blown again ...just watched Advey say ...the one who hurts you never remembers but the one who is hurt never forgets ...sigh...powerful words ... I must be a serious simpleton of subpar intelligence with no life at all ... I absolutely loved the chicken scene , also the pigeon scene ( everyone's pet peeve ) and today I totally loved Chandni turning into a ghost. There is no slap stick, no silly track that makes me feel it wasn't worth it ...every bit of the show was okay by me ...it's not the best out there but it wasn't that bad either to receive the amount of negativity it did.
I am a simpleton who loves simple things told with enough depth and emotions. Though there were some moments of disconnect brought by the hunt for the elusive TRP, I grooved this show and I rate it as one of the best show I watched with Barun Sobti surpassing his previous characters with his layered portrayal of Advay - a most complex and complicated character surely.
Maybe I'm suffering from Florence Nightingale Syndrome, where the relationship of the nurtured and the nurse creates a microcosm where you feel immense love for the maimed one... Maimed by constant scrutiny of highly intellectual critics, ignored by TRP junta , orphaned by PH and CVs who gave up with speed faster than Advey's Superman jump...not to mention the incessant bullying of a certain fanclub. As Nicole asked Dr. Diver in Tender is the Night (one of my fav novels) ... "Would you have given me a chance (in love) if I were not sick ?"... Maybe not, maybe I would not love this show as much as I love it if it wasn't bashed right, left and center. Whatever the reason, verdict remains the same for me , I absolutely love this show.
PS . I have totally lost interest in IPK1 ( maybe because it's so perfect and so loved by everyone) and I now have zero interest in the heroine from season 1 opposite Barun ... Bcos it's clear after IPK3 that Barun can create magic with any given heroine. I might be a delusional auntie , but I'm a content one.
I have not watched the first season in its entirety but the few episodes that I did watch I found it superficial, loud and crass apart from the impeccable acting of Barun and the guy who plays the villain. I prefer Shivani Tomar's natural, restrained acting.
