Before anyone says ANYTHING .. I'd just like to remind everyone that this is a GUL KHAN show. That woman has NEVER produced / directed / written a SINGLE show with substance. The USP of every single show of hers is SEXUAL FRUSTRATION. That's it. Nothing more. If .. by any chance ... uske kisi show kisi normal dimagh ke insaan ko acha lag gaya ... I believe that is entirely because of what the ACTOR brings to table ... adding THEIR personal touch. One does NOT watch a 4Lions show for content / logic / depth / plot. If one does, one is smoking something that induces delusion. I watch Ishqbaaaz because it is entertaining ...

I like Pinky and Jaahnvi's scenes ... I like how for Pinky, when it matters most .. family > petty games ... and I like how the brothers fall back on each other regardless of how useless they are individually. Even if Shivay does save his brothers' collective ass using his money and family names, I will like him for it. Jiske paas jo hai woh wohi istemaal karega na ?! Dimagh/ personality hota toh woh use karta .. Like Anika. Point is, the guy loves his brothers and that works for me.

Anika ... Surbhi C. Is a patakha and I LOVE her portrayal of Anika. Vrushika's look in the show is nice but her scenes have no meaning and the dance sequences are so random ... I like Kunal Jai Singh and Leenesh Mattoo as Om and Rudra .. I genuinely think Rudra is funny. Leenesh's Rudra is true to his CryBaby Oberoi / Dumb Bell Oberoi monikers . Nakul has a nice nose but his voice modulation leaves much to be desired .. its not the guy's fault Shivay has been shown to be such an outrageously obnoxious person. I blame that on Gul. I like the older actors .. the parents ... and Subha Rajput as Priyanka is sweet but I am guessing she is fairly new to all this .. so yeah.. all in all Ishqbaaaz is like an Akshay Kumar movie. You watch it ... you laugh you chill you unwind and then you forget a bout it . They show is not good enough to be called brain food .. hindi shows rarely are (Gulal jaise shows ek hi baar bante hai) but its not bad enough to cause damage to brain cells. I don't think Gul can out do herself on that ground ... Her magnum opus made sure of that. I am sure everyone here knows what show I am talking about 😆

I guess Adhi didn't get the memo then...😆...this is some serious psychoanalysis she is attempting for something that is inane from the get go.

So to be honest , up until now, I hadn't really warmed up to Om, because I found him too good to be true, too perfect to be real, but I really liked how in the last few episodes, we see exactly what his flaw is, it is his rigid ideology, like Shivaay says Om " sees the world in black & white" when in reality, the world is a myriad of grey hues interspersed with flashes of black & white.

To borrow a quote from ASOIAF , Om is " pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends". Ishana is the counter to this rigidity, she will teach Om to see life, beyond a spectrum of black & white, because this rigidity will lead to disappointment, human beings are flawed, sometimes we will exceed expectations , sometimes we will barely meet it & many a times, we will fail to meet expectations, But it does not make us bad or evil, just human beings, flawed & beautiful.

On another note, I know a lot of people, don't like Ishana trying to break up Om & Riddhima, but in my opinion, this is interesting.She is morally wrong but she is no mahaanta, she is selfish & doing whatever it takes to better her family & her life.

Adhi got the memo .. she is not taking the show seriously. .. watching it for masala and good time pass (its no where near as bad as Gul's previous abominations) just like you and me ... this was for the person who had the gall to say that this is a shitty show and used to watch far shittier stuff (mitsy ka fav show 😆)

Arey if she's watching it for masala, why is she trying to psychoanalyze this one-dimensional and pretentious Omkara?😆

Is show ka masala toh Anika hai...and then that Rudra guy...he's funny in his dumbness😆...dono ke one-liners are usually the funniest.

This Omkara ki boring shaayari puts me to sleep...he's only funny with Rudra.

Shittiness is such a subjective thing...what is shit for one person, smells like roses to another😛...yes, all Gul shows are usually mindless...but the reason this show is harmless is cuz it revels in it's mindlessness...matlab koshish bhi nahin ki gayi hai is baari to have even 0.1% of basic plot😆...the characters can all be watched for their random interactions without any expectation of anything making sense as a storyline😆

LOL yeah I figured you can't help yourself...that said, it's good to have some rational discussion in a haze of mindless drooling otherwise so thank you for that😛😆...Debates are fun.

But at least have a debate/discussion on Shivaay. Omkara can take some time to grow a more interesting personality. 😛😆
