Crooner 74 : To kill a Mocking-bird - Note to GH - Page 4

👏👏 To kill a Mocking bird-or not, Ellesworth Toohey, Oh my god...Nice touch. How do u think these things up. I think, this very unique touch is whats make Crooner so fascinating to read. It certainly gets the massage across very well.😃

I agree with u 100%, this is just and unfortunate situation that GH has to come out and speak his side. When I clearly have yet to hear a creative coming out to voice his side. Trust me they've never been forced to either.

Absoultely not trying to strike and argument here, but seriously, why didnt all these clearifications happen when Barun Sobti was indespensible to the show and still the TRP's were falling. The track was lousy in Gupta house, or the swami act and lots more after the MU. Everyone was complaining while TRP's were all time low.

(k pls hold ur patients as i m goin to rant a bit and go back 3 weeks. For all those who are not wanting to hear the rant, then now's the time to stop reading)

One thing that stood out to me the most was the child quote , *when a child asks something, answer him for god sakes, dont make a productions of it. Children are children, but they can spot and evasion faster than adults. An evasion simply muddles 'em'*Again ofcourse from the fav mocking bird.

Sounds like a very promising quote. Now the question is, isnt that what everyone's been doing?
Explaning to the MASS. Starting with Misty, Abhaas on FB, Latin Mohan on Twitter, Gul on IF, Zee News, Nureen Khan with Barun himself, Mature writter on the IF (urself and many other), Pashmeen (barun's wife as quoted by a member on IF who met her in Delhi kitty party), Madmidas response to the IF members, Barun's Interview by Madmidas.

All of the Above with one common bottom line *Barun is Coming back* We're talking about 10 genuine sources here of the top of my head *with Barun himself* YET YET,...do we seem to c anyone fully keeping their faith and believing in them??? NO Cuz we all seem to have this irritating habit of OVER analysing a situation and also reading in btwn the lines rather than FOCUSING on the actual POINT of the statement.

Sounds grim doesnt it,...well, this was just an example of Barun's Situation,...same has been happening with Storyline, Tracks, episodes, TRP complains, IPL ranting, MU clearing, Shyam track i could keep goin on n on...

I have 3 kids of my own,...and i always try to hold my patiece with them. Explain myself as best as i can knowing fully well that they are not all the same and have different thinking. At the end of the day, if i still keep hearing nothing but complains about EVERY LITTLE thing, bickerrngs, fights, whining, who did what, why m i favoring one over the other...n likes, i'll eventually put my foot down too. In (Four Lion's and CV) their case,...Absences complain, track complains, trp complains, insecurity complains, questioning their every single move, n god know what else have we been sending msgs about, day in, day out, day or night)

As a viewer(child as i would like to put it) we all want Explainations from the Team,...the question is R we ready to HEAR it without overanalysing??? and with full faith in the team (parents as i'd like to put from Mocking bird statement)

No, we want to analyse the motives, scrutinise the answers, question their patience and eventually shutting the valued door to reaching them.

Again pls dont get me wrong,...this absolutely doesnt mean we cant questions, complain or analize,...BUT THERE IS A WAY TO DO SO...as i always ask my kids, we need to think b4 we speak. (in this case: type) Parents for the kids are always indespensible, but there is a way to talk to them n put forward ur concerns and have a sensible conversation. Constant complaining and whining isnt going to get the the child anywhere except for being knowing as someone who cries WOLF.

This team has made themselves indispensible, and we also have the means and technology to be heard,... why are we crying wolf all the time ???? why are we givnig them the chance to put their foot down??? why are we forcefully shutting the doors to the communications???

(stricktly directed to the minorty who are causing this problem and the majority has to suffer? Every single person here is considered a sensible adult, so pls lets act like one)

Constructive critisism has been considered, edited, the tracks closed, character brought back and lots more, so lets all stop ranting and focus on Contrustive critism like our fellow mature critics on the forum. All of us are here cuz we've grown to love the show, IPKKND...if they can work as a team, so can we...

This is solely my opnion, and if i offended anyone, then my opology to U. But pls do consider this as a humble request as this is not a small matter,...if not dealt with now,...it can cause major issue later on, and we all have a long way to go with out FAV. Show IPKKND.

Crooner are a blessin to read n the way u write, reading gets addictive. Crooner has become a part of my daily life, and Priya a name we constantly use in our family. As the conversations sometime starts... *As priya would say...* So thnq for taking time in ur busy schedule to light our path.

Thoroghly enjoying the Barunless couple of weeks as the story is movie,...and dfntly looking fwd to next week...

Found ur take on pearl very intriguing, and looking fwd to Taj mahal analysis and ofcourse the AR36K

Didnt meant to take over the comments sections, pls dont feel offended.

Toddles,

Avni

You presented both sides of the story very well. 👏

At the end of the day, I feel the drop in TRPs has more to do with little progress in story, than any other thing. The decline has been happening, even before Barun's absence. So yeah.

We all know things are dragged in telly land. But from the general audience POV, " you need to make one step ahead. No matter if you later come 4 steps back" ( I'm talking in relation to story telling, and relationship development 😊 )

That's all from my side. Nothing great, but just felt like telling so.

As for the episodes, I'm glad there's pace, and we can hope for some light at the end of the tunnel. I wish the team of IPK all the very best!

For me, it provides my daily dose of entertainment, I love SaRun, and I admit, I'm hopelessly addicted to IPK! 😃

Edit:

I haven't posted in this thread but I am about to unburden with a rant.

I have no clue why this forum is so self absorbed to think that other than being a sounding board for ideas that have already been planned out or are currently being shown that we are on the Board of Trustees of 4 Lions. What kind of desperate PH comes to IF to see what the tracks are that they should be doing for the next 6 months when they haven't even planned out next week? Not one that wants to keep rising in the TRPs.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the way GH's message has been twisted and warped to be used by different groups in this forum to bolster their claims of influence or mocked rudely which so very well confirms the stereotype he already has of the online members here. It's all bullshit. I take his little note at face value - it is a mea culpa - when they should have been concentrating on the base of their story, they were busy building 101 ways and toing toing comedy. I was happy to see that he recognized and owned the fact that they goofed. Stop criticizing the CVs - well, don't give me anything to criticize then. The show has never had strong production value - the sets, the costumes, the editing have been slipshod since the get go BUT we were head over heels for this show regardless because of the story, script and acting. So when you lose the glue that holds it together - a story that moves, the cracks get larger and noticeable. And we have a right to call it out. We have a right to say, you didn't listen to your sounding board. We do not have the right to say, you are changing MY story in MY vision that I set out amongst MY minions - how dare you change MY creations so that I look like I do not know what I was talking about when I made myself out to be ALL KNOWING. Self absorbed.

But now that they, the CVs, are trying to fix it, when they are basically caught with their pants down not only in low TRPs but a lead going off to do a movie, for Sanaya going off to do NB and for Daljeet wanting to leave, he is basically asking for a little breathing room, but they are still paying us importance as a sounding board - the end of swami, the end of the 9 year old saut, we all were for this. But what do we do, a good number of "critics" say that they have destroyed the story because it is not in their vision (as if this is their product - kudos for your definition of the critic). A good number of "critics" rant and rave about the decline of the past - continuously. And a good number also blame Barun, as if he is the first male lead in the history of soaps to ever go for a movie, as if the PH does not have its own PR department, as if the PH does not have a management department, as if this PH was not privy to his plans and worked out a schedule with his film PH, as if Barun runs 4 Lions and will not only script and run the show, but also schedule the onset of monsoon season. For real. Can we get perspective. 4 Lions has been horrible at time management and now they are trying to fix all their problems that are coinciding with the 1st anniversary. Can we let them do that? Thanks for the space to vent.

And now to the story - I am too happy with the way the last 3 weeks are going because I did not have preconceived notions about crawling majnu tracks or twisted redemptions of attempted murderers. And maybe that is why I am ecstatic with the ILU, I am happy with the current separation and I am eagerly awaiting Khushi's kidnap because it will lead to a REUNION when for the first time in this serial KHUSHI KNOWS THAT ASR LOVES HER AND SHE HIM. These characters are intact and the tone of this LOVE STORY has returned. I mean I cannot contain the excitement for that reunion moment.

I am missing Barun on screen a lot. But as long as the pace keeps going I am for it. We have made it through half his time away - and since you have listed some non predictions 😆, not long now!

(sorry - I have written a tome but I needed to let off some steam)

The no predictions😉 are amazing and can't wait for it...Nothing like a full fledged romance with high voltage drama..

Looks like we are finally going to get the love story we were promised😳

PS..I copied the link to your crooner on the SG thread...I hope thats ok with you...I didnt copy the content 😃
