Call me a hypocrite call me a sellout Scoff, as if
I watch this serial for 22mts/5 to get some light hearted entertainment and a torrid romance develop between TVdom's most electrifying onscreen couple whose antics were once so scorching that I who never see Indian soaps ended up investing time energy and efforts in actually wanting to share my views on a platform such as IF
FLS- That boat sailed a long time back. Yes they were absolutely electrifying. Yes they made my toe curl. But lately i've felt 'Sarun' haven't been able to weave their magic. But you hit the nail on the head, it people like YOU, friends like you, that make me watch IPK these days. Honestly if it weren't for IF i would have quit this ship wreck a log time back.
And i don't think 'light hearted' romance will ever do it because it's already ruined and i don't want them to also ruin the better memories of it ergo i atleast want some solid entertainment.
Of all the shitty tracks, this one seems to be better.
I have seen and experienced pain sorrow grief and loss in my own life and in those near to me and I watch for some respite from the ugliness of life and reality Label me an escapist viewer if you like but I like to watch a love story unfold and not a Man Woman And Child sort of scenario unfolding- have read the book seen the movie and honestly never was impressed enough even by the so called Western /Hollywood yardstick so you can imagine my horror over the thought of the mindless butchery Indian soap creatives are capable of inflicting on us and going by the track record of this PH high time we all stopped having any expectations all said and done this is a soap and the TRPs while not being published publicly will still be available on the inside and they know what is expected and will act accordingly
But nothing about IPK is in anyway 'real'. Even if we go ahead with this track i don't think it's going to be as dramatically bad/sad/real as people make it out to be. This is IPK we're talking about.
We have to cease viewing this serial from the prism of our own cultural upbringings and exposure that has helped shape our own thinking from the other countries we come from and stop demanding characters to behave from that perspective as well as our own personal expectations of how KKG ASR should act
On paper the idea of this track sounds promising but this is not Western Television this is for Asian audience who want drama and excitement and justice for the female lead ( a point that has eluded this serials makers ergo low TRPs but that's another issue altogether) so while that raging post on the potential promise of this track made for great reading will not apply here as the targeted segment of this serial will never accept anything else and end of the day pleasing that viewership is what will be paramount
I can't argue with this point FLS. You're right i cannot gauge how the conservative indian audience will react. RC thinks it's a good plot.
I am no feminist malenist but an equal opportunist and believe in life love wuss and pursuit of happiness irrespective of gender This serial has brought out an unhealthy militant need in me to constantly fight for the female character such has been her pathetic portrayal over the last couple of months
I am tired of seeing just one character always playing second fiddle to another First it was girlfriend then his sister then his past and now a blast from his past with a living walking talking proof of an ad that condoms don't work all the time
I don't want to see scenes of domestic bliss all the time but at the same time don't want to see cringe worthy track of child becoming a bone of contention between 2 women
Instead of a Didi Ka Sauth we are being given now a Biwi Ka Sauth Is this what this once passionate intense love story has become?
I think this track has the potetial of bringing back the passion. Because it's centered about Arnav and khushi It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I've reselved myself to the fact that Khushi suffering is non-negotiable, i'd rather be entertained while they're at it. Shallow much? Only because there isn't much depth to this show.
Why cannot something be shown from her side of life also?My number one problem. but this was is and will always be Arnav's story as SEEN by Khuhsi. She too must surely be having her own baggage and history but the way the creatives have gone about is pathetic they have whitewashed her side of the story and its always about his pain his actions and her reactions to it I would have loved her walking out of the contract marriage or a separation of sorts They overplayed their hand in the marriage track bit and doubt they would have survived another round for whatever was left off the viewership would have certainly deserted them leaving them open to the ignominy of a cancellation
I got an interesting insight with one of the TRP generating aunties who lives down my lane when I went to visit their house for Navratri during IPKKND slot time and she said she felt very dissatisfied with the way the female lead was shown no not her comedy or OTT😲 for believe it or not they enjoy SI a lot for that and adore KKG's antics but her life her family and her own history She said some serial that airs at 9.30 shows life on both sides of the leads family and isn't that what life is all about and why is it always so one sided and then she proceeded to change the channel to child bride.
What do you know maybe there is a child down the lane who thinks WE are the TRP aunties. 😆 At the end of the day the main audience is female and unfortunately Miss Gul doesn't seem to grasp this.
I did not mention my closet addiction to this serial
Wuss
I would have loved a jealousy track albeit without issues from a rubber tear or lack of it so sue me if sound like a wuss as after all this has been touted as a love story Now what gave you that wild idea?
My view she should have been shown leaving him then the truth of the past coming out a separation Shyams games her fathers story his wooing anjalis unraveling of her husbands duplicity all enough to keep the serial going for at least some time and they should have ended it with the wedding track instead of foisting a track done to death a million times with the same resultWould have's, could have's and should have's FLS. the only people to actually put any thought into this show is probably us. the creatives don't see to give two hoots.
Now having said that I am mature and worldly wise enough to not even ever bother to allow the matter of his chastity or the lack of it remotely cross my mind and was chuckling when it actually became a raging debate But soon realized that these were written by young ones who have no life experience and immediately felt quite a bit alarmed as obviously many of these posts were written by minors and the thought of them being influenced here in their formative years by the kind of mature content here is unsettling for one as I shudder to think of some regressive thinking posts here has given me cause for alarm and do not find anything humorous in that
You reckon they'll think it's okay to make babies before you're 35 and settled?Let them be FLS. Have you seen some of the other disturbing stuff they show in cartoons? I shudder.
Sigh RC all I want is some romance too much to ask?
Why do you think this track won't have any? The olny reason i'm even for it is because i am hoping against all odds that we get some dhak-dhak inducing, hyperventilating, rabba-ve.
G has now gone zzz and moved on for I doubt she would have given a track where her obsessions character is open to taint and questions
True that.
