IP REDUX; Chalk & Cheese !!

Khushi finally has switched to full on detectivegiri and has become the bloodhound in pursuit of her husbands elusive scent * Arnav , start using Axe effect, next time you disappear, the falling angels will guide us to ur hideout**..She is suspicious of Shyam and begins to follow him in the hope that he will lead her to her husband...Shyam on the other hand "Appears " to be involved in running another scam and has no connection with the disappearance of Arnav.


A scene rife with many suggestions , Y'day when I was speaking to Doods, she had mentioned Bangles, having not watched the bangle scene , I had thought she had as usual jumped 10 feet while we were struggling to move even 2 feet ..but now I understand what she meant by Bangle ...Khushi removes the bangle & Payal so that Shyam does not get alerted by the tinkling sounds of both , is it the only reason , only assumption ...Bangle & Payal.. to whom is it related ..who stands for them... Anything comng into ur memory...Yep, right ..Bangle..The last precious gift of Arnav's Mom, Payal..The last piece of jewellery of Khushi's Mom... Khushi removes the bangles and Payal , becoming the girl who has had no anchor, who does not belong to anybody, a rootless nomad ... An augury that pretty soon, Arnav will claim her and make her his by putting on HIS mom's bangles and HER mother's Payal on her again...


The Number theory, I think All REduxian have become an expert and I will not explain that ...

Chauraha ... we get the first clue about the middle of the road [ confirming Doodsie's prediction] part.. The outburst that will happen in the middle of the road ...It also can mean that Shyam will soon find himself on the chauraha ..it was duality at play !!


Shyam is seen talking down to a man , with Khushi on a record mode as she observes and absorbs everything but acc to good detective movie rules. the heroine shud hear only half of it and be misguided and this is what happens ...Shyam manages to lull her suspicion and tried to deflect her thoughts away from him...Khushi seems to have fallen for it ..

Remember the earlier sequence where I had written that Khushi will be fobbed in her first attempt and she will soon be on the right path ..we saw that in action today...Khushi has been sufficiently confused and is in two minds about Shyam's culpability..She has not given a thought as to why the absly legal house building has to be dealt at Night , surrounded by Goonda's... If this were to be surprise . then it could very well be conducted in broad day light at his office...

Second, what was the job that was given to the Man and which he failed to implement, note the fact too that we have not yet seen the kidnapper's kingpin but only have seen the telephonic messages coming in ...Do not write off Shyam yet !!


Royal, purani Dilli, Jeevan ...The Past has begun to come back..How soon it will make its presence felt is best left to the TRP Baba ..


Where in Delhi do u get information just by saying Please, U either have to pay or get the requisite permission ...


Am cutting it short, rest we will talk it out 😊




P.S..



Good Morning CV's..


2.3 to 2.5 ... Despite using the trump card 😲

It has been a tumultuous week , has it not ...?? well, Well, When I first read the news that the TRP had risen to 3.1, I was pleasantly surprised and was genuinely happy on the way the tide had changed...Then when we got the real & accurate picture of the TRP, That it had risen JUST by .2 .. it vindicated the stand of Redux which had opposed the timing of the ILU !!

Dear CV's and GH , We might be the Auntijee's who are having a mid life crisis but
it is our crisis which keeps ur home fire burning , so next time learn a bit of politeness before addressing the fandom , You, Dear Sir might be a experienced Story teller who knows how to tell a story but we, Young Man are the more experienced Viewer's who have had years of experience in watching and know what we want and do not want at that juncture, Also note, we HOLD THE REMOTE !!


Do You remember the past of IPKKND ...More particularly the 'Teri Meri ' Sequence ... How was it shot, was it shot overnight...No, first came the promo which beamed most of the times, Spoilers were kept to the minimum ...The dance sequence did not come up suddenly, The progression was smooth, the dots were connected and the conviction was there, it was shown that the lead was rescuing his girl from distress and the rationality clicked ...we gave you back with a rich haul in TRP's and contrast it with present day , The ILU pops up suddenly, The most awaited moment , The moment that every one had been waiting for since 11 months comes ... does it come after a natural progression, does it come after it is shown that Arnav is in mortal danger , Does it come after we see Arnav thinking, longing and yearning for Khushi , Does it come after a monologue of Arnav , what was running through in his mind ...NOPE!! Nada , We never get to know what leads up to Arnav confession , Why he feels impelled to say so instead we are left to grasp the straws and come up with assumptions !! Assumptions for a much awaited Moment when it shud be the conviction that shud yield ILU .. No, The SP glared at you, The TRP abandoned you and You succumbed to pressure and with a nonchalance never seen, with an unbelievable disregard for the Plot continuity, You threw in ILU as a stop Gap measure when it shud have been THE MILESTONE !! You calculated & calculated wrongly that the ILU will net in the TRP and to compound your foolishness , You chose the Semi final of IPL to air the ILU... From which planet are you, CV's .. anybody from India would have told you that Cricket is a vibrant religion and ppl would catch the repeat and not at ur Anna data providing TRP time ...


we did not use Honeyed voice nor did we seek to flatter you, Believing that Truth alone matters , we stated our thoughts quite upfront in the belief that there are some adults in that menage of yours..My Bad, it is populated by juveniles who can't stand criticism or well meaning suggestions ...Today you had to eat humble pie ...Do not forget that the last laugh will always be by Viewer's..Treat them well, with respect, with courtesy, Provide them with a well structured plot..You will be rewarded but one hint of arrogance,of disdain...You will be brought to ur feet !! ..This is a symbiotic relationship..Give us good convincing story, u will get Good TRPs otherwise The truth is there in front of you... Satyameva Jayate indeed !!

Tanthya,

I was hoping to see at least a para but well, the right sentence can also do the trick, huh? 😉

**Will wait for your analysis**

Below is my analysis

I know its been a long time but tremendous amount of work had prevented me from contributing to this prestigious thread. Well, now I am back but I hope I have not forgotten how to analyze and so please bear with me.

Hum aapse 8 baje kahe te na, to aat baje pahooch jayenge

From two days, we are hearing the number "8". Number 8 represents salvation from sin and its consequences. My first thought was that this refers to Arnav but then these were words spoken by Shyam and not Arnav. Arnav has sinned but his sins were the result of Shyam's and Khushi betrayal. He knew he had done wrong and he did feel the guilt and the remorse for his deeds but he was in a way justified in his actions.

Unlike the Scorpian, Shyam Manahor Jha. He is a person whose actions have no justification, whose actions are only because of his selfish motives, who has sinned not only against the Guptas but also against the Raizadas. It has always been predicted in the Redux thread that the truth will come out in front of family before it is revealed to Anjali and it will be so. Shyam has been an epitome of good in front of the Raizada's. He is one man whose opinion is respected and implemented without question by each and every member in the Raizada family. But inspite of the respect they all have for their damad, Anjali and Arnav happiness has always taken precedence and been of utmost importance to them even before their own, be it Mama, Mami, Nani or Aakash.

When Shyam's truth comes out, each and every person in the Raizada family will feel betrayed by this person who was always kept above everything, sometimes even before Arnav. They will be angry and they will want to punish him. They will have the right to punish him but will they? They know, like Arnav did, that Anjali will not be able to bear the truth, she will break and it can also harm her child. This will prompt them to give him another chance to redeem and remorse. But will he? Logically the basic nature of a human being never changes. For Shyam, he himself is the most important person and he enjoys his comforts. He needs money and Arnav's property has been his goal for a long time. He can go to any lengths to achive his goals and when he finds out that the real benefactor is the child and not Anjali, what will his reaction be? He has, without an ounce of guilt, hurt an old man, created circumstances that can hurt his wife and the child, will he step back from hurting his own child?. Methink not. Number 8 also represents "Karma", you reap as you sow. His these actions of hurting an innocent child will be his downfall and his true colors will finally be revealed in front of his wife. But will Anjali Shyam Jha forgive him? As a wife yes, but a mother can never forgive the person who can hurt her child.

Note: I said logically but with these CV's you never know. We might see a redeemed Shyam and then there will another Mama in the Raizada house.

Note to CV's

2.3 to 2.5 ????

You gave us a wonderful week filled with an illogical confession and disastrous dream sequence. Yes, I am one of those Reduxians who knows how you dug a hole for yourself and how instead of following logic, you succumbed under the pressure. You did not listen to any of the warnings, any of the messages posted on this thread and then you justify your mistakes by posting a note. How lame!!!!

Believe me when I say, nothing and nothing can recreate the magic of those words which have already been spoken or give us the satisfaction of the beautiful confession that we all had envision. You guys seriously messed up there because look back and you will realize, you really did not need those two things. Your story was perfect without them.

Neways, now I just hope the raise of 0.2 in the TRP chart justifies the loss of your biggest trump card,and that amazing critic who was on your side. (You know whom I am talking about).

Selective Amnesia

Is Arnav again suffering from selective amnesia? Why has he forgotten that Khushi has betrayed him? Where is the anger with the love? Why suddenly this over powering love? Why this sudden belief and trust in her? Why has the thought that Khushi can be behind his kidnapping not passed his mind? And if he has found out she is innocent, where is the remorse, where is the apology or was confession the apology?

You might have forgotten but we have not that Arnav Singh Raizada needs visual proof and he needs to hear from the horse's mouth to know that Khushi is innocent or has his character been changed, since he got kidnapped?

We do hold a remote but then do you really want us to change the channel?

Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking. -Antonio Machado

The episode was fast paced,from khushi's sleuthing to Shyam's glib tongue ,from mami's brain to anjali's clue on diabetes medicine,fromMRPS's detail collection to precap on "jab Arnav met Khushi"
..the show had smatterings of dialogues which were double edged ,used to convey multiple meanings to
People...so that people say"-jalebi ki tarah gol gol ghomat hai dimaag".. let us today go into the dialogues and dig something interesting

1.hum apse kahe na,hum 8 baje pochhang jayenge-shyam (Khushi noticing the time was7.30at that time)
2.gate pe kyun bhaya,beech chourahe par Jaake note ginlo,kisko shaaq na hojaye police ko bulaalo
3.koi pareshaani thi usme,Aisa kya maang liya thaan ,hum tho ethna hi kahate na ki..
4.Inhe pata nahin chalna chahiye ki hume in par shaaq hai arnavji ki ghayab honeki
5.in Sab ka Lena dena um kaagazson se hai,
6.hum sirf CONTRACTOR se sawaal poonch rahe the hamare Naye ghar baareme,renovate karna tha,rani saheba aur Hamara Naya ghar,unse chuparahe the kyun unhe surprise dena chahate the
7.Apna kaam karrahe the-aap pe ghaur.notice kiya hai,baat kya hai,kafi ulgi se rahathi hain aap
8.kagaz teak karwaadiya ? jab Arnavji aayenge tab unhe sach batayenge
9.humbhi unhe sach batayenge..wada karke palat ne walon se nahi hai hum
10.shyamji nahin hain toh kaun?business main dushmani,unki safalta se koi jalta ho..
11.Saari ghatnaaon ko phirse dauraana
chahiye-rewind
12.isme diabetes ka medicine hai Jo har teen Mahine main baar aata hai
13.kola
packetwa aur nikla chuhiya
14.royal medical se Aayaa hai..waise khushiji aapki ko isko samaalna
chahiye.prescription ki bina karid nahi sakhti aur Delhi main kuchi medical shop main milega..royal ke
alawa RK medicals,Jeevan medicals aur purani DILLI main do teen jaga pe milti hai.jeeven medicals-
Bhandara road
15.5jagah hain usne teen main karoonge baki doaap
16.teri daavaayiyan,spl
diabetes ki daavaayiyan
17.dilli ab door nahi
Arnav cuts open his ropes
Meets khushi
through the IRON net ventilator..with senses telling him that Khushi is present in the other room
All
these dialogues formed the basis of the story in the future for me today..it was interesting to know that
basic framework has been kept intact..I guess we are heading for a Shyam-Khushi confrontation.the
promise he talked about and the sweet talk all refers to the fact that his mask is going to torn in front
of arnav.there is a hint of Arnav and anjali separation with Anjali giving the medicine incharge to
Khushi and also hint that there will attempt on Anjali's life from which Khushi will save her..Mami is
going to be a big part of shyam's secret that Arnav and Khushi will be trying to hide.. The contract
marriage clause is also going to come is all I can conclude.doods was right about her predictions is all I
can say.

Coming to the emotional part..I am waiting for today's episode.the magic of IPK is all
I want to see.sensing each other's presence without seeing the other,the tadap to see each other.the
winds blowing with rabba ve's in the back ground.because of this tadap or the pull these star crossed
lovers do find a way to meet against all odds .this is the magic of IPK ..like they say"love always finds
a way "

[Updated]

Hi guys, I'm slightly short of time today, so will put down my thoughts in my purana point-wise style 😊 May not be able to touch upon significant numbers and lines today. But before that a short note on the episode:

I liked the episode because it was fast-paced, Khushi-Maami have had some new grey cells infused in their brains, and ASR is BACK!!! Thank you for remembering to bring back ASR's attitude, go-getter drive, stern look, strong mind and his awesome background music!! 😃 But the bloopers are seriously getting to me now... there is a limit CV's, even my mother who watches the serial on a 'face-value' way keeps commenting about the loopholes! You guys have been doing a good job without Barun so far, minus the few track changes and the bloopers the epis have been good, now please abstain from using Barun-Sanaya in each and every frame again... would like to see more of Shyam and Maamiji too once Khushi goes missing too!

Now that that's done, my points...

1. Khushi removes her bangles and payals: The bangles and Payals that carry a world of meaning to her are removed so as not to interfere in her mission behind following Shyam. Her mother's payals that hold value are cast away, so as not to hinder her search for her husband - the protection is taken off as she sets off to find who is the one behind her husband's disappearance.

2. Khushi-Shyam confrontation: I really liked this scene! Both of them thinking on their feet. Shyam still unaware of Khushi's new and improved brain power (I know you always had it in you Khushi, just that you're exhibiting it a bit more ever since ASR vanished). Shyam, slippery-smooth as always, doesn't lose his cool as he cleverly brings Anjali and their new house into play. This is where I felt like whacking Khushi though, c'mon Khushi the man keeps hankering after you, you really think he would care about a new house and go away from you? But theek hai, currently you are worried mad about dear Arnavji, but still remember that of late you do not believe what Shyam says!

3. New House: Hah! A new house that needs renovation... a house that was never built between Shyam-Anjali, the strong foundations were never laid carefully, a house that Shyam himself has turned away from - how can such a house be renovated when it wasn't even built yet? And still then, a new person to be admitted into their world, a new beginning, what does it hold for Shyam? What will he do about it?

4. Vaada karke palatne waale nahin hai hum... hum bhi sach bataayenge: Oh how I LOVED Shyam for saying this!!! Yes, I really really mean it! (Sushi club, you have a new member! 😊) The truth will be brought out, Shyam will reveal it, how, when, where I'm not sure... Damn the puzzles... there has to be a clue somewhere regarding venue, time... will let you know if I get it...

5. Hum apna kaam hi toh kar rahe hai... aap pe gaur: Kya baat hai Shyam! You have never impressed me so well as you did yesterday! Thank you a million times for letting Khushi know that you are observing each move of hers! That your eyes are on her... if only Khushi would also 'gaur' over your words, and be more careful in future!

6. Time for a Recap: This one had me going for a while... sure it was a recap for Khushi-Maami, but something else seemed to be behind it... Recap for Arnav? Recap of all that had happened so far between Shyam-Khushi, and no not just the terrace scene... right from the video of Khushi being released leading to her meeting Shyam. And it does make sense, now that several clues have been set these many days, and now that my brain is working a bit more, seems like Khushi-Maami are influencing me 😛 The video tape from the airport office, she rewinded it there too, references to Lucknow at the dinner table, and Khushi saying "hum ye theek karenge" for the broken tape, Shyam's "hum bhi sach bataayenge"... It all fits here for Arnav to know everything right from the start! Sighh.. late batti I am sometimes, I know 😃

7. Khushi-Maami-Anjali-medicines: A loadful of hints in this, but won't be able to cover all... let's see:

7.a. first of all the word 'Royal' has been coming up a lot these days, all I can think of connected to Royal is King, Taj Mahal (because this too came up often)... also, 'dilli ab door nahi' along with 'Divide and Rule' seems to be hinting at something... Okay, the following are the random thoughts in my head: Shyam, ever seeking for power has caused a rift between Khushi-Arnav by 'Divide and Rule' formula... he wants Arnav's 'empire', wants to usurp Arnav's seat of rule, and for him that day is not far when he will be 'King'! -- Now that was one way, another thought is: Arnav's own empire... the empire of his heart has spread... Anjali was the one main ruler of his heart all these years, but that space is now being given to Khushi too, but it is now a tussle between duty and love - Divide and Rule, he has to divide himself between these two... he's not going to leave either, at least that's how I see it!

7. b. "Ye medicines ab aap sambhal-lijiye"... Anjali, who has so far been the primary care-taker of Arnav is now handing Khushi the way to keep Arnav alive (not totally in the literal sense, but figuratively too). Arnav's life is now in Khushi's hands, Arnav's life will be sustained by her, prodded on by Anjali every now and then, Khushi will be given ways and methods to help her on the quest to Arnav (even after the whole kidnapping).

7. c. The box: Couldn't help thinking of a 'surprise package' that the CV's keep telling us about! A new entry... Shyam's 'Raani Sahiba ke liye surprise' dialogue, and the three who receive it - Maami-Khushi-Anjali... or just for us viewers! Anyway, it was a great clue for Maami-Khushi to set their brains on!

8. ASR RETURNS!!: Couldn't help squealing in excitement when the 'ASR' look came on combined with ASR tune!! So much more fascinating that the rabba-ve's!!! 😆 I knew it! ASR was there all the time! He didn't give up, he didn't give up - just like ASR! A fighter to the core, he writes his own destiny, even if it is DM holding his hand and writing it... but he does it, he will always find a way out! Sorry, got carried away in a wave of excitement over seeing our old, lost ASR back after a-ages!! 😃 Though again here I would say that ASR was brought forth after that tantalizing image of Khushi that appeared before Arnav. Nothing spurs a man on more than a vision of beauty, love... where am I going with this? Sorry, ASR has a weird effect on me. Coming down to earth: ASR doesn't like being tied down, he hates it even more when people try to do a one-up on him, and it further aggravates him when he has to witness his own love for a girl who his mind thinks is characterless! So what does ASR do in such a circumstance? Yes, he fights it, he gets out of it, he is ASR - who in the world can keep him tied down, except his own ego and darling Sister? Which makes me think, is he going to break those ropes tying him from getting to Khushi? Not right now, but in times to come? He is going to work his way out slowly, carefully, with no hint of his plans on his face... he will keep trying to break out of the workings of his mind to go toward what his heart really needs. The essence of ASR won't be lost, but will merge with Arnav - my, what a strong combination that is!

===================================================

THIS AND THAT

Who is ze kidnapper?? Are the CV's focussing on Shyam in an obvious way just so that we say, 'oho, Shyam kidnapper nahi hai" and then they show Shyam as the kidnapper? Or is it the 'new entrant' who is the kidnapper? K.G (Karan Godwani) a.k.a NK said in his tweet that his entry has been delayed! Wonder what's up...

CV's what's happening with Payal, beside coochie-cooing with Aakash? she knows her sister is worried, and she doesn't ask how she's holding up? Please re-watch your initial episodes of Khushi-Payal scenes - the bond between them was so beautiful.. I miss it!

Good going with Maami-Khushi, it's as fun and exciting to watch as Maamiji-Buaji together! Which reminds me, where is Maamaji, Masala Maama, Naaniji - all gayabz? Yeah I understand, right now you are focussing on the kidnapping, suspense, Shyam, Khushi, Arnav... but a glimpse of them wouldn't hurt especially when the two cartoon ladies are running all over the place!

Waiting eagerly for today's episode!! Loved all your episodes in the last few weeks, glad to see that without Arnav there was more focus on Khushi, her feelings, her mind, her thoughts... Thanks for that!

===================================================


Love,

Nia

P.S: Pam!! I'm so glad to see you back after ages!! 🤗

Hello Girls...

How are you all today?? Nia, Tants thank you for your encouraging words in the previous thread ! 🤗

Arhi, Superb take !!! I have seen Mr. India umpteen number of times... and while reading your script, I had that first scene of Mr. India playing in my head 😆 I could just imagine Mogambo, Dhaaga, Teja and the rest in there !!!!😆😆

My 2 bits,

Overall a good episode, fast paced, tight script, curiosity build up is there... and yeah no episode of IPK comes out minus the bloopers... so I guess, we should just take 'em as a part and parcel by now !!

Arhi... 500,000 mein professor type, chashme laga ke bhaagne waala goon hi milega... 🤣🤣 Mind blowing !!!! 👏👏👏 I'm still in splits !!!

Hottie... is back and how !!! Barun was so in character today... always the opportunist... waiting patiently for his time, ready to pounce on his prey !!! I'm repeating again... but his micro-expressions in those 3 minutes are worth the 22 minutes that we wait for him !!! 😍 The ASR music in the background... ahh how we missed it !!!!

Couple of things to CVs:

1. We see Khushi's presence of mind when she removes her anklet and bangles, Cut 2 scene 2... where does that presence of mind vanishes when Shyam repeatedly misleads her ! By now she should be aware of Shyam's antics !

2. Shyam JI... even in her monologues, even now !!! Oh C'mon CVs !!!

3. I understand u guys are hard pressed for time and for editing and with your main lead has gone on a leave... it gets difficult to manage dates... but then if you can't get the actors together... please manage with the correct usage of what you got !! Khushi has long flowing straight silky hair... Sanaya doesn't !!!! She uses a hair-piece... a wig !!! I mean how difficult is it to use that or at least something similar on the Body Double... how irritating it is to see Straight hair / Curly hair and back to straight hair in 5 seconds flat !!!! 😡😡 The courier guy scene was nothing special, but it was ruined totally because of such a ridiculous thing !!! And judging by the spoilers, the HUG scene is going to be equally ruined !!!!😕😒

Get a grip CVs... these are small things, even your budget will not budge too much !!! If you can pay for a BD... get her a wig as well !!!! 😛

Love❤️
