If its said that on films
only 3 KHANS and SEX sell.

So what sells on TV
its
EMOTIONS EMOTIONS AND ONLY EMOTIONS.


if we say only family drama sells than its wrong. We always give the excuse that people like saas-bahu stories thats why ipk is not doing well. We hv to stop giving this lame excuses Thats wrong .Coz wen IPK were at 4.7 in early feb, there was no family drama

Other shows like diya bati, balika vadhu, yeh rishta are scoring well on 1 factor and that factor is
Emotions. I agree there is kitchen politics but wen a ahem modi in saathiya or suraj in diya bati feels sorry and connected to his wife and gets emotional, that makes a huge diffrence. Arnav has been on differnt zone after MU was cleared.The way he behaved with Khushi, It felt as if there was no MU only. A big mistake by Cv's
Ek hazaro mey is not a family kitchen drama but emotions are really running very high on the show.

Romance is in every show but emotions is where the other shows are getting benefiited.
even that Even pavitra rishta at 9PM has not losed hopes against Diya bati at same time.Its fighting the battle just on emotions between archana and maanav , the lead pair.


the funny thing is emotion was the biggest USP n support of IPK. Not comedy n thriller.
nobody can deny that even in simplest episodes we got emotional. Just look at that scene when arnav in mandir lets out all pigeons to make a small child happy, the dialogues were awesome.

IPK has missed out that hugely these days. Who can forget the comedy track when arnav was turned into mechanic in GH, how that concept trashed badly. Khushi is a saint who doesnt feel pain even if stabbed 1000 times. and she can do comedy even wen she knows she has been forcefully wed.
Right after 12th july outburst we expected flood of emotions but what we got next day in maha episode?? a comedy track where khushi forgets she was called a unfortunate event.
Instead of focussing on showing the emotional journey of how arnav struggles hard to win back khushi, they just summed up in 30 seconds and few blackmail episodes.

Nobody is relating to shrewd asr since he is in love. I can gurantee if after 12th july outburst , if they wud hv shown how asr feels like killing himself for saying those harsh words to khushi and how he cries out emotionally like in the ambulance scene, things wud hv been better in TRP front.That ambulance scene garnered huge TRP's . A deewana, crazy ASR is the demand not the tecnical ASR. But we directly landed to remarriage without any proper emotional track.
I bet evn just 1 month of asr repenting and missing Khushi wud hv done wonders.
Abb kya kar sakte hai.

Last sunday i was watching the Dirty Picture on sony. i realised that they utilised on the emotional factor hugely. In the film Emraan hashmi ruins Vidya Balan's career. but when Vidya is ruined, emraan hashmi realises he is in love with her actualy, but its too late coz emraan did affected vidya's life to the extreme vidya commits suicide and that emraan had to lose her forever.
In the last scene emraans expressions were like he is cursing himself . He killed himself i one way.
Arnav also wanted to ruin Khushi as he thought she spoiled her sisters marital bliss, but later did we get to see the emotional journey of arnav in detail??No.coz some people wannt to jump directly to rabba veys and cozy scenes and direct to remarriage.
Its very difficult for me to digest that a show on which i feel like Puking, sasural simar ka scores so well ahead of IPK. I realised they r showing emotions of a couple who hv lost their child, Ved Raj is the wrter there, and he has bought emotions there.

Even dadi , shyam wudnt have affected the concept if the real issues of IPK were not sacrificed.
So i wanna ask those viewers
did ur rabba veys help? did ur obsessive asr in SR scene help?
Did ur asr defending Khushi near family help?? did ur asr hugs help??
Rabba veys, Arnav in every frame is not answer to the issue.

Biggest reality as of now

REMARRIAGE TO SOON IN IPK , SKIPPING NORMAL TRACKS
GONE FLOP.
Guys i wanna say a simple thing
It take a lot of effort to rise but it takes a moment to crush down.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE TO EMOTIONS
forget smirks, costumes, looks.
Barun sobti is not a show piece, not an item boy. He is an actor who has to be utilised. A show cant be carried just drooling on a handsome guy daily. EMOTIONS SELL.

bang on post girl

IPK is the only show which has audience who are so emotionally connected to the show
then why are they hellbent on shooing the audience away

other shows are doing good even if they don't make sense
we are stuck somewhere between sense and nonsense

we don't need crime stories or suspense thrillers to top the chart
just a heartfelt convo between arhi will do the trick

remember arnav's first sorry,it was so emotional,touching and genuine even though the crime was smaller in comparison
the latest sorry from him seemed so out of place,forced while the crime here is bigger and the damage is so devastating
emotions make difference

anjali and arnav scenes used to be full of love and warmth now they are full of fake smiles and lies
they just ruined everything

even after MU they had so many chances to redeem the show
the GH track,however lame it may be could have been used to get shyam's real truth out without suicide drama which is more lamer way to get the truth out of arnav's mouth

then khushi suddenly became despo and begs shyam for help of all the people
after kidnapping,it should have been redemption but no we go for DKS track
after 12th july,we had another chance

so many chances,but still cvs doesn't see the opportunities
gaping loopholes in the story,poor execution,hideous costumes,lack of lead's screen presence
evrything comes down to low trp

hope cvs and makers of the show are having some emotions left in them to feel for their abandoned baby and work towards bringing out the real emotions for which ipk is famous for

it's not a great achievement to get so many viewers,the great achievement is when you manage to keep them with you not losing them

Someone made a post few days back about how these cv's can't take strong decisions. She made really valid points and ur post also echoes those sentiments.

I really think what they had planned after the hate marriage they couldn't deliver coz of variety of reasons such as trps or channel pressure etc.

Its so hard to digest this fact that these were the same ppl who created this masterpiece

Arnav as really felt bad and also he said sorry to khushi but I would feel happy if he would say it before... He took lot of time to say

Khushi forgives him because she love arnav a lot before marr... but at the same time she sometimes hate him coz of his rudeness. When arnav started defending khushi then she realized that even he takes care for her as she takes care...

i dont fully agree to that claim
bcoz if that was the case then on first plce SP wud hv stopped BS from signing a movie.

SP can just give guidelines wen TRP's are low

But in feb were TRP's low??? no,
so why disrupt the romance and get them married?
This is all decision of Cv's and at the end SP cant interfere too much in creative decisions or else all producers will shift to sony or zee

I agred with u.only romance can't help.Even sometimes i fell they creat "khushi"s character to do only"rabba ve" scenes.she is strong enough to do other things.Only drooling over Male leads can't save the show cvs should concentrate to he story too.

But we also have some fault.sometimes i fell some viewers only want romantic scesa.Agar romance hua to "haye.epi kitna awesome tha" .if not romance then"boring,crap epi".Cvs bhi kya karen.some are only want romance.lets see how long this show can survive bcz sp is coming with 2 mnay daily soaps in sep and october."pratigya" in under scanner with2.3 trp and IPKKND with 2.7 .lets see.

Yeah, emotions play a lot. Not only serials, but in real life also because they speak well what is in our mind. There is no other medium to show our thoughts. I also expected them to show some serious things right after that kidnapping episodes. They didn't. Khushi is behaving in a different way. There are people like that, but she should have shown some self-respect. She herself does not have any value for her emotions and feelings. I don't know if any element of that sort is coming or not. But for the time being, they need to take things into hand and focus seriously on this.

Even the re-marriage track would have worked on TRP, but here also so many tracks are mixed up and the shaadi is under pressure. Even if it is our marriage under such circumstances, we would not enjoy that. So, it is really a luck that they maintained the same TRP like last week. Once again, nice post. I think You should collect your post and somehow pls send them to the CVs as these post represent our opinion for the betterment of the show.

Nice post buddy, hats off to you.
