~Pyar ko ho jane do~another tale of romance?

Its almost 3 weeks that the show is on air and with each episode, the revelations, the relationship dynamics , the conflicts of ideas and emotions make us intrigrued and shell shocked at times. A show which was promised to be a romance between a couple rediscovering love again in a marriage, seems to be much more deeper, darker, passionate and convoluted in terms of content. Each episode brings something on the table that speaks about human emotions which is raw, unstructured and stratified. Moreover the concept of humanity vs inhumanity and a constant struggle to make a choice between right and wrong makes it unusual, uncomfortable , edgy. The character sketch of the male protagonist and the dark past of the female protagonist make this content more complicated as a tale of love than it seems on the surface. Most of the audience absolutely love romantic sagas, and those love story angle helps the show to sail through. But in this show, there is lot more on the platter than just a single factor like romance. Its more of exploration of human psyche, its emotions. Ishreet is surely a major point of attraction, but is it the only one? Or Rizwan's conflicted soul, Preet's insecurities and trying to overcome those traumatic memories and the anticipation of how the truth would affect these two and the whole set up of perfect life make it more interesting? As another member Jane mentioned in one of her posts- the real angst is yet to be portraued, another facet is yet to unravel. So what keeps you glued? What does pyar ko ho jane do mean to you in a nutshell?

Do share your thoughts. Posting this as it really got me thinking-what we are looking at while watching the show.

I started watching the show for Iqbal. He is the only thing that attracted me to this show. I have loved Iqbal since he used to Play Angad Khanaa, i absouletely used to love him, but after Shiv Kapoor, i was literally the 24 hour non stop drool worthy fan girl! I used to watch Karm Apna Apna like there was no tommorow and my heart was broken when he left the show 😭, couldnt tolerate yash tonk on his place and never saw the show aagin.

I just started to watch the show coz the lead looking so good together like perfect couple type...and
This is the first show I'm watching them i heard abt the shows they did also abt Iqbal that how good he, his acting.. I just want to give a try knowing its family drama then after week only get to no the real story..ishan not being ishan.. its may the suspense they keep and a interesting story line a difficult love saga..

after all the actors who give the feel, and life to this story of Rizwan and Preet.. now I'm so hooked wit d show.. and become a fan for iqbal..

Anways, when i saw the promos of PKHJD i was on the 9th cloud! So i started watching like mere a fan girl of Iqbal but today so many other reasons are attached. The fast pace the innovative story line, the brilliant acting and ofc Mona. But still Iqbal remains the core reason! 😳

As for the story, i am treating it as a dark love story amidst the shiny and happy family. Its a completely new dynamics. Normally dark characters accept it, like Sujal, he stayed quiet and distant but here we have a family man who has a dark past and a family woman with a dark past! Loved the treatment! The juxtaposition of brightness and darkness. And also the emotional pagalpan of Rizwaan.

@bold: Can I say that I loved Shiv Kapoor so much so that I actually had to put up with the show just to get a glimpse of that man?😳

Shiv n Gauri and those unsaid words and the eyelocks. Aaah😳

I would say after Ishaan, its Shiv , Anshuman and then Angad for me.😃

Ishaan Hooda is one heck of a desirable guy.. His vulnerabilities, his sensibilities, his heart is what makes him so so desirable.❤️

@kinza, lovely post as usual. I guess we all staryed watching it for the leads and then just got blown away by the concept and the character sketches. As if Rizwan 's identity was not enough to create shock value, preet past just made us speechless. When you say its dark love story, my heart goes garden garden, as it sounds so my type of genre and it gives lot of adrenalin rush moments. Edgy yet irresistable. Sperlative performances are the herries on top.

@kubare, what shoukd I call you dear? I loved how you explained the content in a nutshell. Yes its about letting go and love taking its deserved place to free all these imprisoned souls haunted by past memories and its baggage. Please continue your ramblings, its worth reading.

@Ruchi, yes the character sketches and the unpredictability factor makes it interesting. Moreover there is always an undercurrent of uncertainty about Rizwan's feelings, his motives and the anticipation regarding Preet's reaction knowing his truth.we all can assume that it will be one violent, passionate, heart breaking moment of revelation.but still its difficult to gauge how these two protagonists would behave in those moments of showdown. Plus knowing the acting caliber of these talented actors, I just cant wait for the d-day. Prior to that, lets enjoy the roller coaster. Thanks for liking the post.

@Sohu, lovely post. Loved how you described love in its different forms and how it is difficult to compartmentalise the emotions. Its a voyage of human emotions, in carious forms, shape, dimensions, exploring few uncomfortable yet socially relevant questions. And Iqbal was and still is the most imp key factor to watch that. No doubts about that.

@ divya, yes its just not another regular love story andthat makes it unusual, and more importantly both leads characters have been given importance while keeping their basic traits and circumstances alike- they are distant, different yet simliar. It will help them to bridge the gap somewhere.

@kinza and Sohu, stop reminding me about Shiv Gauri so much. Its not fair. 😆




@ all, thanks for all the responses. Waiting to know others thoughts too.

Ok so my take on this is rather biased / opinion based
