Kasturi= a wannabe KYPH!!!! - Page 4

^^ kyph wasnt special??it was the first of it kind..both kripa n angad being rockstars..it was the show which had rockstars at such a bigger level at first..

the others followed kyph only..so why wont kyph be special?

Shruti & soni: Well-said guys! Personally I think everyone of us is entitled to his/her own opinion. Some may think that KYPH was the first show of its kind and hence, was HUGE and nothing else would ever come close to it.. While others may think just the opposite as the characters and the hassles of belonging to a middle class lifestyle are much more developed and well-structured in Kasturi. Then there are few of us who enjoy both shows equally.

At the end of the day, all shows are out there for entertainment. KYPH was doing wonders in its time while Kasturi is kicking some serious butt right now. I believe July 12th TRPs showed Kasturi to be the #2 soap in rankings, which I hardly think any other new daily soap was able to do before. I am not sure how well KYPH ranked in its time as I never watched the show but I gather it must have done well as well. However, right here, right now.. It's Kasturi time and that's the reality of things right there, folks! 😛

Personally, I started watching the re-runs of KYPH (long before Kasturi started) and I didn't enjoy it as much for some odd reason. I think the actors were brilliant, the story was innovative and fresh, but I didn't feel any connection to the serial. But that's just me. So for me, KYPH was not special and I am entitled to think that way just as others are entitled to think that it was "The Serial To Be" in their own respective opinions 😉 ~ After all, pasand apni apni..Right?

Cheers, Sana~

Hey Sana nice to see you here 😳

I actually watched KYPH regularly after i joined IF only...as i was soo addicted to that forum..not like that i was crazy about the show..or anything..i enjoyed kyph a lot when rabba concert came up..

I do watch Kasturi too if time allows and if im home..im not very impressed with the characters kasturi...but robbie is excellent with his acting skills....i guess he performs really well..i like him but i like raunaq more 😛 😳

KYPH was special, it was special for being the first show with a Rockstar concept and after that many channell followed the conccept. So for me it was very special.

KYPH and Kasturi has its similarities for sure, no doubt about that, infact, same dialouges too! Word for word!

When KYPH was launched it was very big, I remember Angad's entry concert, it received such high ratings that Ekta decided to show it again the next day! The character of Angad is very well known and even today its ever so famous.

If u look at the trps and such, KYPH was up there at first, but due to poor storyline it died down.

Kasturi on the other hand is on Star channell and it has prime time slot, infact the same slot that KAA had in the beginning and that was high in TRPS. Channel time slots due make a difference too!

Queenkumar I agree... the fact that kasturi is being shown at i think 9-ish isn't it... and KYPH was always shown at 8... despite not having the best time slot it was completely amazing...

I guess it's kinda pointless to argue... cuz as sana i think said.. everyone has their opinion... someone will connect with KYPH.. like most of us here do.. while others don't... although that is unbelieveable 😉 😆

anyways...

KYPH was amazing for me... and no one can deny that if not THE BEST... it was defenitely ONE of the BEST shows on TV

@ Sonp: As for recognizing each other at award shows n stuff.. I guess its more of a personal prerogative. For me, as long as professionally the work gets done, that's all that matters in the end. As a viewer, I look at the finished product for entertainment purposes. I dont believe in further deciphering how the actors/actresses behave in their personal lives as I believe they are entitled to associate themselves with whoever and whatever they desire just as every one of us have their own favorites n and special shows to root for. But that's just me.. I know a lot many people go overboard with their obsession with celebrities but we forget that they are just as human as you and me..Hence, just let them be and analyze and criticize their work only.. As long as one can respect each other's privacy and rights, we won't have to encounter any negativitiy around us ever.. 😉

@ Butteroo: Hiya sweetumzzz 🤗Thanxxx a bunch dammit.. I just thought this topic was rather interesting to participate in.. Hence, chipped in few thoughts 😳.. U're right about the girl playing the lead role. She is not a trained actor but I think she's improving tremendously with each episode.. Her simplicity wins me over. Karan's doing a great job @ playing the character of Robbie and well.. Jatin Shah... *sighs* Ronak's Jatin Shah first character that I am interacting with as I didnt see him as "Adi" in KGGK. But I must say that like u, he has won me over like nething.. Such a gentleman.. He's truly a gem 😳😳

@ Queenie Di: *waves* hey dii 😛 ~ U're right about the time slot factor. For instance, I saw KAA slip down the TRP ladder once the time slot got changed from prime time to 8 PM. So that's a huge factor in determining the TRPs. But like u said, the storyline is another factor. TRPs are determined by several factors altogether. And what captivates a viewer to sit and watch the show besides her/his favorite actors/actresses is the storyline. When there is something to look forward to, u just cant help but make time for it to watch.

The shows may have similarities but they are executed differently in many aspects as well. For me, Roopa Ganguly, is simply outstanding and brilliant at what she does. Whenever she's on screen, I feel my expressions getting changed along with hers.. She cries, I cry.. She smiles, I smile.. What a brilliant casting idea it was to take her as a middle class woman who is torn in between the dignity of her family as their daughter in law and her desire to see her daughter's happiness above everything as a mother.. *sighs* I am getting a bit carried away here but at the end of the day, its "pasan apni apni and khayal apna apna" 😉

@ Yeah: Ditto.. I would never deny the fact that KYPH was a show of its own kind.. But I didnt connect with it and that's just my humble opinion...😳 As for Kasturi, I hope it continues to do well and doesn't get ruined over time.

Like somebody else stated before, if we are stating that Kasturi is similar to KYPH, then it also has elements of KTH in it... But bottom line is that while these shows may show conformity in some areas, they are still different in many aspects..

"If we conform, we become lost in the crowd. If we are individual, we are lonely and isolated. Which is right? Is it always a tight-rope walk between the two?" - The million dollar question to answer 😉

Cheers, Sana~

wow what a discussion... Respect... 👏

personally i never ever watched KYPH... Well it sony and who watches Sony?... Not me..star Rules period! 😆 😉

Im actually looking forward to see kasturi hitting the uk screens ...and the kasturi forum rocks!.. Karen Patel and Jatin shah are great to watch i hear...nothing but good things about the show! 😛

PPl serious this is a balaji production like KPYH so why would it not be a success?? Come on who is ruling the TRPS... the concept may be the same as you have posted and regardless of the jodi's ...it good old fashion entertainment

kat 😳

I am also watching Kyph reruns simply coz it was a great show but am so very much looking forward to Kasturi starting in UK, as much as I am not spoiling it by watching it on web, the eagerness does play but then watching it here will spoil the fun , I hate having to wait, Like sana I also do not feel great connection with KYPH maybe coz of the reruns I dont really kno.

Everyone have different opinios about the shows but I think comparing with one another is a bit unfair as for kastui there is a whole new crowd which may love the show to death and same goes for KYPH. Also I think if one sucsessful show somewhat reflects to another then it shud taken as a good thing and shud not as which one is better.
