Sam,

Lovely topic. No, it is not a run of the mill rant. What you said, cannot be said enough. Everyday, the episodes are drawing out these from all of us viewers. It cannot be coincidence or that, we just feel like making a negative post.

I agree with everything you have said and every line. I am reusing excerpts from an earlier post of mine, to present my thoughts here. That post unfortunately got deleted so shamelessly resuing it here. Sorry for the long rant.

For the first 6-8 months, it was beautiful ride. Even the corny scenes were lapped up by us / me, only because of BS and SI. Even the most ridiculous scenes were swept under the rug, because, the execution was not flawed. Comedy even if it is corny can be pulled off, if the timing and execution and placement is right. That is what they had.

Love, Arrogance, Ego, Sacrifice, Intensity, Passion, Comedy, Bonding, Revelations, Reflections and Rabba Ves were all place and executed when and where they were supposed to. Nothing seemed out of place. We forgot about actors and BS was ASR and SI was Kushi.

Now they are trying to cram love, arrogance, angst, revenge, comedy, OTT, passion, bonding, Ego, fake love, faltu Rabba Ves all in a 20 minutes span. Hence, placement is horrible and execution is without heart and soul. Worst of all, chemistry is not sizzling. Previously, when ASR and Kushi were phsyically far from each other, (the corridor at Gupta's house) their eye lock and Rabba Vey seemed like they were making passionate love.

Now they are physically closer (geogrpahically only) and yet the Rabba Veys lack spark and intensity. BS and SI look tired and all the hard work they are doing is showing which is an insult the CVs are doing to them. Since past 4-6 weeks, only BS and SI are getting maximun screen space. As their fans we are happy. But it is not fair. They are over worked. Show has several character. But the PH is only making BS and SI fill the screen space which means they are the ones who are putting in 16-18 hour days. Are all the other characters and actors working on as needed basis (guest roles) so PH can save money. Why else would the main villain disappear for days together. How many scenes did Abbhas as Shyam get since MU. It can hardly fill one episode. Is this fair to BS and SI. Overworking them so much? Ofcourse the chemistry is dying.

Biggest joke is what CVs have done with the so called "villain". Every story needs point of conflict. Every serial that is out there has not one, but hundreds of scheming villains all out to make a martyr out of the female lead. This show has one villain. And even then, even the lone villain, what ever he does is more buffonery than villainous.

He is not to be seen days together. Has he become a paying guest somewhere else? Will we see a second forced black mail marriage and Kushi will get a souten? Zabardast Twist. No?

A villain, who is a pervert and a leech, has the objects of his desire presented to him in a silver platter and all he does is hold hands as if he is going to do palm reading?

Even in a fictional world, when CVs create something, and sell it and draw an audience who appreciate their work, the minimum the CVs can do is to keep the story telling consistent, palpable and not insult, the talents of the actors, or the sensibilities of the viewers. If I like regressive stories that are dished out in almost all other serials, I would go watch them. IPKKND was never going to be that. Hence it has a unique fan base. That was the fan base CVs were targeting. They gave this fan base what they wanted and some more for 6-8 months. Those creatives are either gone or the creativity is gone.

If it were the same CVs, still writing, then I cannot believe that, they would kill each and every characters growth, arc and characterization. They will not kill all that was sacred and symbolic of IPKKND. Poolside RabbaVe to the newly formed anJHAm? Really? Same place where ArHi had such beautiful Rabba Ves and Intense I hate you episodes.

Diwali ChakraVyuh was so polished, dignified when ASR helps Kushi out of the Diya Maze and they tried to imitate the same feel, but ended up with a Rangoli dance and ASR doing pirouttes. Really? Same CVs?

Sorry, if my reply hurts or offends anyone. Just my POV alone.

HI Sam 🤗

Wow! You write very well..should do it more often.

Yes...concur with your musings. To me the introduction of the MU itself seemed ill-timed and too hasty. It was almost like they decided it with a sudden staff meeting...strike while the iron is hot!

You are right..the show garnered high TRPs during the brief romance track and that is when suddenly it felt like a trap door opened beneath our feet and we plunged down, from the euphoria of the dreamy romance of Arhi to that horrible, flimsy MU!

The problem is, the team is hellbent on somehow dragging this entire thing for as long as they can.

TRPs have fallen quite a bit...

I don't think it mostly due to IPL either...with the ARhi story going nowhere, slow pace of the entire serial and fillers, the show may be losing viewership too.

Today I was disappointed when they said that only 1 month has elapsed in the show itself!

Do they intend to drag this even more?

As a loyal fan of the show and the lead couple, I watch it almost everyday, with hope and optimism.

They need to increase the pace of the story..solve the MU and get going on the next track...but I doubt they have the future tracks even chalked out! It seems all bets are on the MU track, and hence the procrastination of showing it getting solved.

Sam...lovely post.

PS: I liked the episode today. But then...the MU is still where it was and the trust-building track is too slow...

Hey sam🤗

very busy day at work

wiII update soon

agree agree agree , great topic

has any other show ever recovered from the jump?

That is the same question i have been asking

I think i have said this a few 100 times by now, too much of scene space to the Ieads just for the sake of it without any story is doing more harm than good, the charm is getting Iost

speciaI mention sudha , where the heII is the viIIan!!!

Where is the story

I hope aII of us are wrong and the cvs redeem them seIves and this mess of a story they have created!!!!

The problem is the CVs never committed, it's almost as if they lay their bets but backed out at Nth hour ... we got a slipshod MU, a Hate track OTT style for 2 epis and then mega backpedalling and hence the endless fillers ... No guts! no glory!

👏Bravo!!!! Very very aptly put. Why are they so afraid to show the hate if this is the hate track? I would actually take the OTT hate they showed for the couple of episodes after the wedding rather than what's going on now. It was ridiculously OTT hate, but at the very least it made some sense.
