So, to all of us, it says that however cruel a man is, if you just fall in love with him, all his misdeeds and cruelty are fine and accepted in the avatar of Arnav. The guy who will not back away even once if given wrong info about his wife and he will go back to troubling her all over again and best of all ruin her completely - as if she hasn't been ruined enough.

lovely point

and rayka the problem here is ASR looks like BS and BS like ASR so many get confused with goodl looks and ethical values

i doubt any of the so called women here would have been up in arms and ready to cross swords with anyone and everyone say for example if he looked like Peewie Herman dont want to take up any indian actors as i dont wish to cause controversy but you get the meaning

Swathi, do you think we can persuade the Rangmunch reporters to do a story on Mamiji's make up tips and tricks? I want to dress up like her and go to work one day and scare the hell out of people. Maybe I can do this on Halloween. We are more angrez than the angrez itself so we are more enthusiastic about 4th of Julys and Halloweens etc rather than Diwali and Holi. 😆 Or maybe I can scare my boss and force him to give me a raise during my appraisal. SJ: I am awed by that brilliant piece of writing. You are one heck of an amazing writer.I am not going to offer my two cents here and show my ignorance. 😳 😳

Spirit ji! Dont be with us in espirit only! "Be more". We bhant your physical tangible existence. Dont mind me. I am sprouting gibberish. Also I feel that CVs in their bid to do something unconventional ended up doing something illogical. Must have got confused with the words. Now there is this anti hero in one of the shows he is awesome. I hate him with a passion. The CVs have always stayed true to the characterisation. He is evil. He remains evils. There is absolutely no redemption for him he deserves to burn in the fires of hell. Talking about the wife beater guy on that show.

good idea

however if you want to do it right away i suggest

10 layers of vanishing cream to start with

textured mixed and layered with cuticura powder

15 layers of orchid pink from chambor on the eyes

20 slashes of scarlet o hara by clinique on the lips not to forget

12 coats of evil red by Lakme on the nails

heavy dose of eau de jasmine

huge gurney sack to serve as your bag

why your boss hell the whole building will give you a raise to stay away from work and you can kill 2 birds with one stone make money while staying at home and drinking milk and honey

sigh arent we all choco ice coconuts brown on the outside white on the inside

Damn, this device messed up my post, so had to retrieve it from my frozen brain. If it sounds incoherent, you know why.

@fls, it's better to stalk when you've sold ur soul to the devil...lol.

I think the biggest issue has been execution., and this desire to consciously steer away from the usual which unfortunately lands them in a deeper soup every time! May be sometimes, or at certain crucial points it's wise to tread on the worn out path., esp., if you hv no clue how to sail the ship in unknown waters. But these guys obviously have their own ideas. Add to that, there seems to be all kinds of issues ranging from tweaking the script to meet the actors dates, demands for screen time, react to the competition, or to cater to the channel / ratings dictates! Have you realised how they seemed to have changed/adjusted the tracks at least twice the past few weeks, Is it even a surprise then?

And for the question, I do feel, it is unrealistic expectations...cuz this snow was always umm..flawed for the lack of a better word, to begin with. So how can something which was never perfect to begin with be damned for not being just that now? IMO this show hasn't been able to hold onto the same level of competency as the first three months and has deteriorated a pace where it's cracks, the chinks in its armour are more visible now as opposed to earlier when they were camouflaged better. Obviously a lot of things have changed since its inception, talk about expectations, or ratings to name a few. And apparently, as much as we hate it, it does seem determine how the tracks play out...logic be damned. I think it's fair to say that shows are best for the first three months, six months max. They manage to remain true to their calling upto that point, and then they lose their innocence., if I may use that word. Thereafter, it doesn't remain the same thing. I think we're still lucky in that regard cus this is still put together better than most shows would be at this point. But may be these guys just lost interest after a certain point to bother about little nuances, who knows!

Vibs,

I have to read 8 pages of gems. So I will go read them.

Meanwhile hola to all the like minded peeps in here.

You know, clubbing myself with you all make me feel all intelligent. If not for anything else, just for that, I will say I agree with all of you.😊

Onu dear your wit is on full display. If ever you dress up like Mami and go to your work, puhleez do a live blog of it so we can all vicariously enjoy everyones reactions.😉

I will rant after a while today.

Coherence is not my strongest point so I need send Loopy on vacay for sometime so I can rant along with all of you.

Lovely reply Spirit and so agree with the sentiments you have expressed

From what little bit of information I have gathered in IF I believe this soap is very much on the same lines of their previous soap and it too was botched in the same manner so it looks like they did not learn anything from their past mistakes

I think what irked me the most is they lost out on an incredible story by suddenly switching gears tracks and story to something that took a while to come to grips with

They are not sticking to the continuity and it is like watching every day a short story with no meaning or ending which does not spill on to the next day or episode which is all the difference between this soap and the ones that are ruling the charts The child bride has remained consistent for the last 1000 or so episodes

Here its like they have set of rank story writing amateurs interning every day and coming up with their own interpretation of the story track and character only to be replaced by some one else the next day who thinks they have the key to a TRP increase and in all their dithering it is we the viewers who are left spluttering

If it were not for my fun time here in IF I doubt I would have continued watching the serial post the marriage MU it really did not make sense then and it is even more nonsensical now after the MU is supposed to have been cleared up

Many of the mass viewers are not droolers or spending time analyzing to death every action of the male lead they want a story a simple story with no symbolism or jalebi feel to it no complicated interwoven emotions that are best left for them to interpret they want 22 minutes of drama melodrama love and comedy that leaves them feeling entertained a sort of paisa vasool feel

Let us face it IPKKND is no philosophical truth seeking idealistic soap opera it is a very badly conceptualized with horrendous editing direction and a story line that has extreme highs and lows with over worked leads and no other story to get the lay viewer interested

End of a bad tale

Sudha! I am as intelligent as lakshmiji. I live a peaceful non existential life. Graze on the green pastures of IF and live happily ever after.I leave the heavy duty stuff to you guys here. I shall do the Mamiji act soon. The amount of make up needed has temporarily left me grasping for air and money. I need to spend obscene amout of money on make up. But I am keeping my hopes up. PS i love the kolaveri di song a lot. It is very catchy. [:D/] is that Dhanush guy married? I thought he was cute in the boy next door kind of way.

Hello Ji, I'm truly stumped by your last few words, there is a wife beater guy on what show? 😲Plz don't mind my ignorance, as IPK is the only show I watch. Or am i missing somehthing? 🤓This after the last show I watched briefly being DMG..Suffice to say, I think, loonism is addictive😆...in the ethereal world where this spirit roams ;) sigh, somethings never change.
