Hello Everyone. Namaste,Salaam and Howdy.!! Was away for a week due to professional reasons and couldn't be active here. Now that am back and watched this whole week's episodes , I would like to share some of my thoughts and impressions with you all.

The first day of this show didn't impress me much. There was a lot of general introductions of the characters going on, the immediate cutting and comparisons of the leads, the atmosphere and the arena of this drama getting unfolded, all of this was to be expected.

Slowly during the course of the rest of the epidsodes, I started getting a grip of the characters, their nature,the seed idea of this storyline etc. I must say it was very slowly making a headway in my impression of IPK.

Barun as an actor has proved himself and here he is doing it again. An excellent portrayal of an angry young man,without much overacting or flexing his muscles or staring his opponent out. His body language and subtle movements of his facial muscles (including his stubble) his simmering volcanic anger under restraint and , clipped dialogues all does immense justice to the Arnav, who's been cheated and is out to seek his revenge.

But sometimes I wish his dialogues are audible (whether due to poor audio recording or his deliberate style of speaking low and clipped). He's already made an impact as Arnav and will slowly but surely start living the character in the months to come.On the side note, why has the director of this show given him very strict orders not to smile? Should he not even plaster a grin, in front of his sister too?
The most surprise package for me was Sanaya as Kushi.She has impressed me very much, be it a bubbly loving sister, or daughter or an angry woman who has been slighted by Arnav. I eps'ly liked the part where she confronted him with jootha at the mosque and venting her feelings. Great expressions while panting and catching her breath and afterthought pouring out her pent up anger!!

But it was exasperating to see her just crying and accepting her predicament dished out to her by Arnav.(in the form of doctored video clips). She could have shown more guts and stand up to those people who jeered her, be it the public, the goondas or the reporters. Her character seemed strong willed girl one moment and them genial lovable the next and then a cry baby accepting everything very meekly the next moment. But she has great sense of comic timing( which seem to suit her to a TEE) and looking forward to see clashes of comedy and seriousness, between her and Arnav.

Probably the CVs are yet to give a shape for her true nature which can't oscillate between all these expressions at the drop of a hat.(Sanaya fans;this is not about the actor but about her character, so no offence meant!)

Lastly other characters, except Payal and her father, didnt make much impact on me. The Bua was overreacting and the mother hardly showing much expressions. Anjali is yet to make a mark.

On the whole the show has a lot of potential and the chemistry between the leads is very much palpable. Till now lot of grandeur and richness of sets is visible.Great casting by the prod house.
Some bloopers like the now present tilak mark on Arnav's forehead and sudden disappearance of it; the mehendhi on Kushi' hand on her sisters wedding day, making a sudden appearance and vanishing the next scene; the video clipping of so called badnam girl trying to hook Arnav being plastered all over the town and conveniently all shops telecasting only that( It was in bad taste).
Hopefully as the show progresses we will get to see some of these continuty points attented to.All in all it was enjoyable day for me sitting for 2 hrs and watching the whole week in one go. My rating for this first week will be 7/10 and am positive this show will soon start topping TRPs charts.
The above mentioned poits are my POV and in no way to hurt any fans of the actors or director or the channel concerned. You are all free to to add to these points or negate them. Thanz for patiently reading my impressions and please leave your comments, good or bad.

HI Maris!!! 🤗

I liked Arnav/Anjali interaction. In a lot of ways, Anjali reminds of Khushi. Their demeanor is similar.

I really do hope we start to see some humor between Sanaya and Barun - they both do have great comic timing. If we fans demand, perhaps they will write it in.

I think the day we see Arnav Singh Raizada smile, will be a day something very important happens to him and the director is setting us up for that. It will be an a-ha moment for the viewers and a holy crap what is this on my face for the character. 😆
