Jagraata 3 - a place to capture the memories of ipk3 - Page 13

SP just did not give the show enough time to find its pace or audience.. maybe because it was always a finite show they felt they needed a quick return on TRPs...

Maybe the feedback from the promos being very dark... scared SP and PH and they decided to change tack...

Genuinely I do think the real adni story was not going to work on SP at 8pm audience, too intense and dark, needs real emotional investment to understand and empathise, which I don't think primetime audience want to make, love stories are not working for the TRP audience anymore generally... (Pardes being another example)!

As I said before the first 70 episodes of IPK1 (janmashtami) would not have got great TRPs with the current TRP audiences either...

Neelum - honestly I hope SP never try and revive the IPK franchise... it has become way too toxic, let it be... a name of the show can not determine its success...

Adni story was not helped being called IPK3, SP should have let Gul have her original name... the bashing and expectations would have been more manageable!

I think as long as a story is told beautifully,it will contact with the target audience. But one need to research what is the target audience. Most of the audience is female yet we are getting item numbers one after another in every drama, at least the one I have tried to watch on SP or Zee tv. The dance moves, the backless blouses...just what is the target?...If anyone looks at the top dramas of SP in history or any good drama with highest trp (for example kaun bane ga crorepati), it shows cultural values, something made specifically for this region.

It feels like somewhere writers, directors and producer are living in another world. If you look at DBO, it was really good drama but there were somethings so filmy,s o over the top, so fake that I was like I know I am watching a drama but you don't need shove it down my throat.

The origional story line was good but the guy who was marrying the heroine by force was not only old, dictatorial but he wanted his bride to be, the malkan to dance in front of his guests, nnow which village in India has such values. Even if he intended to share her with his brothers but that doesn't mean he was going to advertise it throughout the world. Like kuch bhi? Villain are so rediculous, there storylines so pathetic, that even if the direction is superb, actors are brilliant, costumes are brilliant, you are left with a bad taste in mouth. You are like what the hell I watched on my tv?

Pardes was good and it got better trps but then, it had good direction and everything but look at the ending we got? I am happy with gul that at least she gave us a good ending

Nowadays I think to try and maximise TRP I think the channel/SP make each show a jack of all trades and a master of none!

That kind of thinking doesn't work when trying to make a character driven intense passionate love story... because for a love story you need to believe in the emotions even if not the track itself - like S1, FL teaching ML's GF how to be a sanskari bahu - how unrealistic is that.. but the characters and emotions shown in the track were honest!

OK - its sunday.. no need to get so serious...

Its an established brand. S1 was a hit, S2 was even bigger hit at its time slot, S3 was a hit overseas. It takes time to establish a brand. With each season, the audience is growing bigger. No matter what the haters say but they will turn on their tv to watch the episode to judge, criticize or whatever but everyone will watch. Gul needs to have a media cell or at least SP should and they should try to get good word out through media for the new season. Again, if SP want this little plant to grow up to be a tree, it needs to give it bit of time.

The only thing I want SP to not use is rabba ve song and name ASR because thats bit below the belt.It was something they shouldlet S1 fans have because i wouldn't have liked MSR or maaneet songs to be used on someone else. It just stir memories.

Other than that sky is limit, they should go forth and try to earn some money. May be they can make small pre-produced series for 3 months period and then release them. It will be good.

Thanks to SP I am currently drama-less something which shouldn't have happened until 1 year. So, yes I am getting serious but if you say we can talk about something else too😛

Yes, Khushi got me emotionally invested in her, she had many faults and I think she was wrong in many instances but there were times I felt like crying for her and I hated ASR was making her cry. Lavanya was perfect the way she was and they did wrong to change her but whatever...

Lets talk about something light? how about light brown eyes of bitwa?😳

The last min added on puppy saving scene in episode 1...

Do you think it was the CVs trying to remind us that Barun has puppy like eyes!?!?

Originally posted by: Neelum.drashti

I think they just wanted to give a reminder that he is a soft heart guy who will be doing negative things but he is actually hero. I think the channel thought promos were too dark and tried to to tone him down which was weird since the promos got them good audience.

try this di...open those critic or feminists posts...give search and check their old posts in barun's old show forum or in their cc ...u will know who are they😉

U cannot bash barun as unprofessional in his old forum and then come to his new forum saying 'i am his big fan'

that's reason why i never opened few people posts in this forum

I have a different view on the science thing... I think it was always the premise that Advey is all science and Chandni n Dev are spiritual / traditionalist ... I think that was suppose to be the polar opposite which would come to meet somewhere in the middle ... That's why Chandni ( who is epitome of spiritual , traditional beliefs ) was explaining how modern science could interpret how a temple door would open with certain mantra / voice activation ... It's like a merger of traditional medicine with modern allopathy to come up with holistic medicine ... I absolutely loved the idea

The problem is ... It's very difficult to incorporate science in drama without botching everything ... Even western tv shows with better grasp of cgi or theories cannot do it ... That's why harry potter ( philosophical ) or superheroes ( fictional science ) works ... Very few shows have actual science interpretations ...LOST and Fringe in recent times had some rooted science and even they couldn't pull it till the end ... So I knew science wouldn't fly with IPK 3 gven TRP Janta likes bhoot and snakes ... But I was still curious about it

The selling point in serials are always romance and IPK3 had huge potential for it ... I'm so sorry we never got to see the whole gamut of it
