CRINGE! So contrived. I feel embarrassed for Arhi - Page 2

Hi Marybarton;

I always wondered which of the Ekta Kapoor's shows you find so objectionable?

I have watched two of her shows, Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil and Tere Liye, both which I found to be superb! In fact the the leads in KDMHMD were so poplular, their chemistry so amazing, that fans are still yearning for them to come back together. And Harshad again in Tere Liye did a fantastic job and the show was really very good! Both shows left a lasting impression on fans.

Ekta keeps to the same soap opera formula that is evident in all American soaps and it works really well. I have been watching soaps since I was very young - starting in the 80's- soaps such as Days of our Lives, General Hospital, the Young and the Restless. I am veteran of soaps and Ekta's soaps work very and keep to the spirit of what soaps meant to do.

They are not meant to be great works of cinema, created for HBO, and to that end, they are very successful.

I am very interested to know which of Ekta's shows were dismissal failures.

Of course I am not aware of all her shows, as IPK is only the third Indian show I have watched.

I didn't like the episode at all...when he was lifting her off the floor it was looking awful...what kind of dance it is?..tango or ballet or waltz or They invented new dance called ANGRY YOUNGMAN DANCE...😆

Random, awkward, was cringing when watching, the way the dance was and the song choice was not appropriate for that scene. ASR could have shown passion, possessiveness and made the statement 'this girl is mine' by simply using his hand and her body to illustrate this without the dramatic OTT dance moves. What I liked is their intense stare at each other and also holding each other hand; the bedroom scenes were good,like tha fact Kushi is not fighting back and he is not liking it, hope she continues😊 the acting was good though,can't fault that😊

I'm reproducing a comment I wrote on another thread because it seems to fit this discussion well as well.

I disagree. I actually really liked today's episode. I think it was super cute that the family thought of something innovative and went all out to implement it. Nani, Anjali and Mamaji were especially adorable in their enthusiasm.

As for the dance, why was it awkward? It's becoming common even in India for a newly wed couple to dance with each other on their wedding night or reception. Often this is a slow, romantic dance enacted in full view of family members who are happy for you. This was just something done at home in front of close family members. Do couples show absolutely no affection in front of family members? Would you rather have the stiff awkward and distant couples that seem standard in other SP shows.

Now on to the honeymoon suites. Hello hello, if that's awkward how much worse is a suhag raat. There not only are you pushed to your nuptial bed by a gaggle of relatives, they even tend to eavesdrop outside the room 😉. Here you were just being sent off by close family members and then left at peace. Unless one is a complete prude, I don't see how this can be odd.

Episodes with a happy Khushi always make me happy.
