Considering all this plus the TRP race and the fact that Viraf coming in for only two months not making any sense, it all points to one thing.

SP has no near plans of ending IPK.



This may sound very materialistic and calculative but IPK is a profitable business venture. It is bringing in revenue. Now it would be rather foolish to believe that people on If comprise the bulk of the audience. The audience, the majority demands a good story, lots of twists and turns and larger than life drama, melodrama.

It would be suicidal on SP's part if they consider ending the show without even giving the new storyline a chance. It won't take long to chuck it if it fails to generate revenues for them. IPK has an audience in the form of young women. They want to tap on this and see if they can make it work.

Agreed that there is a fan following of BS. But is it really that big that people would stop watching? I am not talking about people on IF. They are extreme.

I am sure if you give the audience a good story and a good looking lead both female and male you have a winner in your hands. On the rival channel at the same time slot there is another show which was in dumps. Now they have brought in a new lead and people are tuning in to watch the show again because the storyline has improved, there are twists and turns, and a lot of melodrama which people love to watch. So people who had given up on the show and had stopped watching are tuning into watch it now.

If a new storyline and a new lead can bring about such a change in the attitude of the audience, why can't IPK? PH is very much capable of doing it and bringing in the desired changes and re creating the magic. They have done it in the past. No reason why they can't do it again.

So from a business point of view it would be really very foolish on SP's part to simply give in to the sentiments of a small crowd and take such a risky decision of ending a revenue generating venture without even giving it a second chance.

Sorry about that long rant.

I was wondering (yeah, not about Bhaiyya Quitting/Leaving/Longish Break) if I should call myself stupid no-life-no-strife person to be washting my time on something that doesn't deserve it at all?

Would a second person, not an IPK Fan, mock at me if he/she knows how I have so ridiculously attached myself to this show which is dishing nothing but crap?

That will be a very small percentage.
I pay close to 40 dollars for my Dish subscription. I get SP, Life OK, Sony, Zee, Colors and other channels.
Just because I am not watching IPK does not mean, I will pull the plug. I DVR and watch other shows on other channels.
Even if I am not enjoying IPK and am mad at SP, pulling the plug on SP will increase my bill. Most people take package deal from Dish, at least in USA. If you take just one channel it still costs you 20 bucks. SO most people like me sign up the 40 dollar package and end up getting 9 channels.
This is why when people think, this will make a dent in their revenues, it will not.
More than 50% of IPK watchers internationally are online watchers or "free" watchers. It may not be 50% but very close to it I think.

sudha you hit the nail on the head
@red yes the reason why SP is willing to ride the storm

Tell me honestly, how manynof you really want the show to go on... Frankly, I want it to end, with SaRun as Arshi!

Here are my reasons...

They have butchered the story so badly that I don't see how they can bring it back to any logical track...
They have butchered the charaters beyond any wild imagination! No semblence of original traits in them...
The bored Bhaiyya look is here to stay..
The velvet tents are here to stay...

Sorry, I don't want this IPK anymore!




Absolutely my thoughts. My problem has alwyas been the lack of a coherent, consistent, appealing story. I would have watched the show without BS, however much I adore the guy, if they had kept Arnav and Khushi's characters and relationship intact. They have desecrated both, so what is left to watch?

Hi! I am Lalita

Even I want to know!

My educational institute is actually owned by Parsis so we do have a minority of students of other religions here too. Today I saw the Main Hall decorated with Rangolis and lighted up for Diwali Celebration. Everything looked so bright and colourful 😃

i am with you on this one. this show is over and they aren't getting anything out of it except for us loyal fans screaming and crying at how the mighty have fallen. moreover, they refuse to come up with any good tracks, we have been forced to watch some horror tracks after the wedding.

Hi! Jerrythe mouse. Belated happy Diwali!

Why do I imagine you scurrying about hiding behind the diyas, around the rangolis, turning up your nose at all the new sarees/clothes and jewellery flashing around, nibbling bits off Tom's mithai and tying a string of crackers on Tom's tail and watching the fireworks from behind the curtains while he yowls around the house with a string of firecrackers at the end of his tail???

Why JTM, do I think that's how you spent your Diwali?
