Dear IPK Crew,

First, we applaud you for your hard work and overnight shooting schedules to give us rip roaring episodes. But I realize you have had trouble keeping your editing and continuity scenes in order over the past several episodes, here are a few suggestions to help you keep the continuity and editing flaws at bay:-

1. Going forward, keep ASR in running shoes, always. He will be doing a lot of running after Khushi and there won't be inconsistencies with different shoes.

2. Keep Bluetooth plastered to ASR's right ear. Since you never show him sleeping anyway, why not keep it on for good.

3. Clone Barun, so you don't need Body doubles. (And if you figured out how, send each one of us a clone too 😆, clothes not needed, I will provide them)

4. Keep a bank of shots for all actors, here are a few to list

ASR - shots of him angry, jealous, pained, wincing, flirty, smiling, smirk. Repeat these shots in different rooms in the RM house, you won't have to use static shots of ASR plastered to the front door.

Babuji shots - his spasms can be shot in advance in many rooms at Gupta's and RM's. then he can be let go for the whole year until you need him back after ASR/Khushi separation. Until then he is doing nothing but break the springs of that wheelchair.

Payash shots - Again, many shots banked showing greeting, silence, shyness and fear, with only one word said by each "Akashji" and then "Payalji"

5. Avoid Mamiji in all shots. As such she is irritating to watch, why create continuity issues by adding her unnecessarily. If needed just shoot her hello hi bye bye in isolation As for her clothes, she looks the same in all shots, so no issues, besides who the f**k cares.

6. Keep a men's hairstylist or barber on location and please give ASR a haircut as often as needed and a beard trim every morning. I can't bear to see my dark horse disheveled

7. Make sure every hair on ASR's body is exactly the same in each shot. We examine each scene of his about 1456 times and can easily locate a misplaced hair, stubble or whisker.

8. Any thing else you guys want to add?


Edit - your additions...

Four Lions editing team isn't very good. I have seen it in their other show as well. After three shows, the PH should be more careful about this things.

oops...is that a serious comment?

Remove NK from intense Rabba-Ve leading Arnav and Khushi scenes (though sometimes he is a welcomed plus)😛

Right, so yes

1. Perhaps keep in mind which scene comes in which order when shooting Khushi with mehendi on (/any other accessories)

2. Maybe find Sanaya a body double that at least has the same skin tone as her (so we dont all jump in SHOUTING BD BD BD! everytime you show a hand/foot/neck/ear of a girl that we know is clearly not her)

3. try to not make Barun wear different clothes for a single dance scene then merge them together (im sure this isnt too hard to avoid)

4. When showing falling scenes, lets try to not shoot them very close together from the side, with the individual shots looking like they are standing miles apart

I dont mean to be mean and picky, just pointing out some stuff Im sure we all notice ! I agree we need some casual discussion rather than
Khushi is a flirt, Arnav should be locked up for violence, Anjali has the IQ of a 2 month old hamster, Shyam is a psycopath on the loose who needs serious help... uh... actually.. that one is justified

Love Hayley

oh and great post btw 😳 ( i went with blunt rather than witty for my sugg, because im tired and cant be bothered 😛)

So true. Everything about the show is executed exceptionally well from script to portrayal of the characters its just the editing that is below mark but maybe because they shoot the episodes just-in-time and therefore the editing suffers because of lack of time.
