i don't know if i read you right, but for me too after the magical days of a holi, on the squeeze of a nimbu to forget everything and then veer into a completely unknown direction where suddenly sensitivity simply disappeared was very very painful.
some things i'll never forget or understand... khushi dragging him out of the house for a bath at the public tubewell... a strange insensitive side to her which is not her at all. and here on really apart for stunning bits and parts scattered across, ipk is going away from me. it was just plain painful.
till now, dramatic or not, silly or whatever, from the first meeting to this holi there is a progression of real, volcanic attraction. it does happen between people... there was a paying attention to the stages of it, an understanding... yes, people don't fall and catch, yet at some symbolic level they do... we feel all sorts of things outside the described dimensions... and that feeling grows till you get that this is it feeling. all of that was so lovely... even the wedding which came because of the channel, a writer tried to give layers to, the idea of love going through hell came through. then the few short days before holi where a delve into chot to some extent... then holi.
and then?
it was hard. story went all over the place, i ran like crazy trying to get a handle on it. trying to stay calm, because i so wanted to see this show. 27 march in sheer frustration i came to the forum. khushi was well on the way to becoming a marionette by then.
you know, horizon, i have never hoped for a fiction, a show of any kind, as much as i hoped for ipk. every time there was the slightest sign of beauty, i thought, ah story coming back... but ultimately, nothing... just a haphazard series of episodes. oh that kidnap... it finally meant nothing. bubbly, masala mama, what were they? no look into the contract marriage, why what, resolution, nothing. suddenly a change of lead writers and dadi si foisted on us. and a meaningless remarriage for all the wrong reasons. would the asr we know even agree to such a thing under coercion? nothing made sense. i was stunned by the lack of any responsibility on part of writers. i am a copywriter... somehow it hurts when you see the abject lack of interest on the part of a writer. no integrity. none.
two actors and a director valiantly tried to keep it going by being as true as they could be.
to them is owed the next phase of ipk really.
even the audience was blamed... for wanting only kkg asr. but was there anything else to want? was anything developed? i'd happily watch payal and akash's story if you had one. or the thing between anjali and shyam, how she slowly gets the truth... or sheesh mahal... or anything... a real story. nothing came.
and finally even kkg asr was completely forgotten.
funny what a conscience or integrity free space this became.
sorry, i do feel sad. one of the reasons, i don't feel like writing these days i guess.
Okay Ladies, hate to end this thread this way but I guess we must. This is what I love about our thread- our different views and our freedom to express them! The one thing we can all agree on is that we love our couple and the premise of IPK.
Horizon, love your views on Holi
These episodes brought the tenderness in Arnav and Khushi like never. Khushi had been boggled with these dhak dhaks right from Day 1. Finally that day had come, and it needed a total drunken state, for their brains to get shut off and they being fully taken over by their hearts... Khushi was finally able to pose the question to the man who is the first authority to answer that and who has been sailing in the same boat. It was truly heartening to see this constantly bickering couple, to have a heart to heart talk for once, the ambience, the mood.. that confession finally happening where they shared many a special moments, that pool side.. he taking care of her after laying her down on the lounge chair as if she is the MOST precious thing ever happened to him, and that he can't bear the sight of a faintest smear on her..the contentment, joy, relief in her eyes as she found the answer she was looking for long now... then his gentle shaking of head NOT letting her go... that could make one to go through a quick trip to heaven... isn't that what he always wanted to say/ do.. NOT letting her go for a second...ever since she said "Luknow ja rahe hai hum .. hamesha ke liye"... aww that is THE moment for the entire confession for me when he wouldn't let her go...then he would say most softly "I am waiting"... very much reminiscent of his "Mei intezaar kar raha hun" on that fateful day he would come to know about her engagement... full of yearning...
These few days have brought some of the most beautiful moments between them...
I agree up until there, then yes there was disappointment, that fire was doused and the hate story started again. The misunderstanding between the two, the bickering back and forth but if it didn't happen I would not have seen my Khushi with a little bit of a backbone. I love how she stood up against him and once in a while their guard would fall and we would see the fire again. There would have been no story if they didn't proceed this way because they were idiots!
I agree they were idiots when it came to asking the public for storylines, what were the writers paid for I wonder? They should have gone back to the drawing board watching from the very first episode so they would know how to write our characters and complete the story we wanted to see finished, tie up all those loose ends.
Indi, all those nonsensical adding of characters to raise the TRP's how ridiculous! What were they thinking we were the idiots? We wouldn't notice. They never fully closed any of the open story lines and they also never gave us a secondary storylinee to follow the other characters. So sad. Masking Anjali a self centered brat after A-K marriage was pitiful and the crying OMG pitiful! The hotness of Holi never really happened again for me until their Haldi ceremony UFF loved that bedroom scene; A-K became siblings after their marriage, what was that? They started that stupid Shyam and camera scenario, seriously We were all waiting for a suhaag raat and they give us absolutely nothing- bad decision and writing as far as I was concerned. I was waiting and watching patiently for my IPK to return, for the romance to begin again, but I got nothing!. So disappointing, but I loved our characters and I remained faithful.
Indi, oh yes you are correct when you say,
two actors and a director valiantly tried to keep it going by being as true as they could be.
And when you say
sorry, i do feel sad. one of the reasons, i don't feel like writing these days i guess.
my advise to all of us is to continue writing but place your spin on what you would have like to have seen. It will be really interesting to read!
