All I want to say is I miss ASR/Arnav, I see more of Barun in these webisodes. I might as well get used with watching old IPK episodes on my laptop.

A major let down by Star Plus and hotstar. Well played with our emotions.

My sentiments exactly!

Hey you!

Shoddy writing has basically been a consistent problem with the series. And, nothing can save the episodes from that. The thing is, if they really were interested in thanking the fans, it would have been one or two episodes at the most, without flashbacks, like a true epilogue set 3yrs later.
Except, this was always a business venture, a profit making idea to promote Hotstar. And, what better way to do it than by involving the only fandom with a pathological obsession(I am guilty of it too) with the show even after years of going off air. I heard IPK had the highest views on HS or that it is the most viewed show or some such thing. That sort of explains why this drawn out mess has been made. In a way, I am glad this is the last time they touch IPK.

Give at least 2 episodes with decent number of ArHi scenes & all will be forgiven, at least from me. And, end this on a good note. They have had their fun. They got the numbers they wanted for Hotstar. Hopefully, we will get something good out of this too. And, with that, let IPK be done & over with for good. Some classics aren't to be meddled with, especially if your writers don't know what they had written before & are going to bluff their way through a mini series.

While I found episode one to be high on the cheese factor & episode 5 was as much of a filler episode as an episode can be, the other episodes have been ok, if you choose to overlook the fact that they were joking about new content.

Absolutely, the series always suffered from shoddy writing especially in the latter episodes. So should not have had any expectations. Strangely enough I did not and I did not get around watching the episodes of Jashan till a couple of days ago when I made that post.
It is stupid of Hotstar and very shortsighted. You can fool audiences once but then you establish a reputation. But I doubt if they have another show where they have such an obsessed fan base. And public memory is short and fan adulation blind - so they may still generate excitement, yet again, you never know.
But in a way I am glad that this has been done and dusted. Hopefully now a lot of people can move on and Hotstar / Star Plus can finally put IPKKND to rest.
You are right, some things are not meant to be messed with!!

I'm surprised to see that no one has bashed you yet!(Don't take me wrong!) Maybe that's bcoz of the frustration after watching IPKKND-EJ!

I agree with the part about ASR! I never dreamt of such behaviour from ASR! I mean, for someone who has been dominating all his life, who could only show anger, who didn't talk much, who didn't know how to say a sorry, or wish for birthday is doing all these things?? In just a span of 3 years? How can someone change so easily?

But then, this was my dream to watch ASR recall all precious moments of his life! And now that my dream came true, i'm very happy!

And what can we expect more from SP/hotstar? This has been the case everytime! It was just to promote hotstar!
But then, this shows that IPKKND is the only show which is being loved so much after these many years!

I must confess I am surprised too! I thought I would have multiple fans freaking out but clearly the disappointment with the show has been quite widespread!

Arnav doesn't look good like he did couple of years ago 😕

Thank you thank you!
Finally someone who agrees that Arnav is not looking nice otherwise I sometimes feel that no matter how crappy Barun looks, the fans go ga-ga all over him.

What an apt post 👍🏼...how did i miss this one...

Totally agree with u on how the show and its popularity has been milked to get more business for Hotstar. TBH a lot of love stories from SP have been shifted / re-run/ getting EJs on Hotstar n its NOTHING but a much needed 'branding exercise ' for the online app/ website. The huge marketing gimmick was actually a gimmick only and nothing more.

I also agree with u one the point that HOW on earth can a love story be complete in all the sense if there is NO khushi. The whole meaning of 'seeing the couple happy n blissful ' falls short if they BOTH and their banter/ love/ etc etc have not been portrayed , not with flashback but with the new content.

However, having said that i am still hoping against hope to see Arhi n no FBs in the last two epis ...I mean the time was less allright, but with the limited time n available actors a LOT more could have been planned judiciously.

Overall EJ was just the Euphoria of seeing the couple back after 3 yrs.

I actually agree with u, I had assumed EJ would must be a mini series itself... I dnt know where this is all gonna lead to.. There is no story nothing... All I can guess in last episode they show Khushi telling Arnav she is pregnant then they again rejoice their flashbacks and whole team comes in one frame to give a family photo and say a big Thankyou!

ASR is not ASR... He is nice hunk very cute bt not ASR😳.. No Khushi😲 Actually that shocks me too!!! I am not even excited for tomorrow's epi!😳 it is done jst to promote hotstar thats it!...bt still I watch EJ on regularly😆😳

And not to forget yep many of my good frnds on thumblr, FB nd IF returned with the sole reason for the Jashn!

Utterly sad to have so much hope for this much anticipated return, to only see it going to ruins.

First they slowly throttled the show with the Sheetal track, and unceremoniously ended it a few weeks later. Now, the Hotstar group are completing it with a final nail in the coffin!

This show is pointless without the rest of the IPKNND characters. Kushi is vital but so are the rest of the gang.

So, for me I am OUT.

The only good thing about this was it made me rewatch the old episodes😆 instead of watching the new ones I have started watching the initial episodes of ipk🤣
Where is my khadoos laad governor?where is my chamkili?Where is that Poojali/thali wali Anjali Di?Where is shaant spectacle wale Akash bhai?Nani,bhai re nand kisore,nk?

It's OK I guess... At least we got something... I am happy but instead of giving so many episodes they should have compiled in one...
But it made watch old episodes after two/three years..so I m not that sad also...

Good post.. !
I've sort of made amends with the tamed ASR.. but Khushi's absence is frustrating.

If you were part of a team that put together an epic story, and you were given a chance for one last hurrah, wouldn't you have planned it better? Better still , wouldn't you know exactly what people would love to see?

I'm so disappointed with the makers. Not Hotstar really, they're just the channel who have them a platform. I mean the guys who directed it, wrote the script. Sigh. Wasted opportunity to gain loads of fans.

I could not agree more! My husband was a bit like ASR, anger at the tip of his nose even if he was quite romantic, and after so many years, while he has mellowed down he def has not become sappy. So this change in ASR is quite bizzare.
Khushi, I can understand that she has changed from a haylow to hi. People see their environment and grow. But she has not lost her enthusiasm or her chulbuliness even after this change. ASR I cant recognize!
Yup the stories on IF are great fodder for continuing the series but I don't think Hotstar really cares about the content they are putting out 😭


As most of us have already thought about the 'rehash' sort of effort from Hotstar, I feel, they already knew the content, or rather lack of it, for these webisodes. So they just postponed ArShi interactions, else, this whole rigmarole would have been over in a couple of webisodes itself.
As far as getting nostalgic is concerned, all of us can revisit the actual episodes, as and when we feel like.
If the whole effort was to showcase, a comparatively more communicative Arnav, in terms of, emotions and feelings, for those particular situations of their lives, even then, I feel, our fabulous writers on the forum, have done , and are still doing, an awesome job of laying all the emotions bare and there for readers like us to experience the euphoria.
Like,someone has posted, rightfully so, that classics are not to be messed around with,an epilogue, sort of, would have been so much more heartening.
Thanks to you,this post has given so many of us an opportunity to express something which was playing on our minds.
Much love,
Mili.
