How Bad Would it Actually Be? - Page 5

I agree the writing was never this bad, but I think the show would get better if the forced group scenes ended 😆

In the past, family scenes worked because the character were different, but now it doesn't work anymore because everyone is doing the same thing, at the same phase in life, and behaves the same. A particular character being shoved into the story line doesn't help either. The merge is responsible for the fun being zapped out of the family scenes.

I literally get hives every time someone says bahuyon *shudders* This aspect of morphing the women into a single being with matching clothes, same expressions, and same emotional reactions is gross. Even their backgrounds are exactly the same (even though in DBO Gauri and the ACP had their own past). Honestly, it seem like lazy writing to me writers think of an idea then copy and paste it on the other two.

Flipping through the channels there is still a lot of material for IB, but like you said for some reason writers don't want to explore it. Shivaay doesn't have trust strangers all the time, Anika doesn't need to have her life revolve around Shivaay, Gauri doesn't need to behave so silly, Om can actually do something instead of just talking and Rudra doesn't need to act like a manchild all the time.

There is no conflict between the characters and the "let's all braid our hair" is getting old. I say let Tejlana win and split the brothers up to capitalize on the angst. For Shivika, Anika can have a difference of opinion with Shivaay over something that's NOT trivial. Also I'm tired of the whole "she can't do anything" helpless avatar. She was handling herself just fine and did her share of saving 😆

NKK is gone, but for characters so different from each other there should be more differences.

Nice post Risha :)

I liked the parts of Dil Diyan Gallan when Shivika were alone. But I think what damped it down for me was that the "argument" they had right before it was pretty half-baked. I think it would have looked much better if Shivika had had a real issue come up between each other before the song was played

I'm also bored of Dadi as well. I was annoyed on Monday when the girl gang kept hovering around her while Dadi was giving her gyaan. It felt forced to me at that time. After the initial reunion, I feel that her purpose for coming down was to glorify the Ruvya wedding, that's all.Lohri was pretty badly done too. Especially when compared with last year's

I get what you're saying. For me, Gul's previous ventures say a lot about this idea. IPK1 was forced to close early and the makers did so on a high note. I'm pretty sure that it itself contributed as to why the show is looked on so fondly by the fans years later. QH on the other hand did not and it's definitely not remembered with much regard😆

For me, it doesn't matter if this show shuts down or not. Shivika were able to show a beautiful journey and that's what I had tuned into IB for and that's what I saw. If they have room for proper storylines for Shivika, then sure go ahead and continue. I just hate watching empty scenes, and I feel like we've been getting a lot of that more recently.

Honestly, lots of it seems like rinse and repeat. Yes, the chemistry is alive and fiery, still but it seems to me that their individual story is at a standstill. (Correct me if I'm wrong). I watched the Dil Diyan gallann sequence and while so liked it, I couldn't help but cringe at the public romance *shrugs*. (I'd like to add here that I'm speaking purely as a ShivIka fan here. Everything else has always secondary to me)

I feel this week their story was pretty much at a standstill. Leave Shivika, everything else also was at a standstill only. Why so much filler 😕 And IMO dil diyan gallan was the only thing worth watching the entire week (aaj ka epi dekhte hai kaise hoga 😆).

I've never been one to hate family scenes but the few I've caught lately seem incredibly forced (I can't believe I'm saying this, either 😆) and repetitive. Writers seem devoid of any inspiration. Dadee's ishqbaaazi lectures induce lots of michmichi for some reason.

Group scenes are real pain these days. Last week we still got some beautiful ones like the AniShivOmRu Daadi convo but the random fillers one like naari shakti or Ishqbaaazi of teeno couples *no comments* 😆

So given everything that's happening in the show, how bad would it be if it ends? And this is partly to address the unbelievably apocalyptic reactions most people have for that notion. Because to me, it doesn't seem like a bad idea (as in I don't think the world would end if IB is over tho I'll naturally feel sad 😆) Don't getme wrong. Im a ShivIka fan and while I feel there's LOTS to explore, I also feel like the writers don't want to explore. So I think we're at a juncture where closure wouldn't be such a bad thing. ShivIka have had a great, long, beautiful journey that seems complete. Again, THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION. And I'd love to hear opposing views from everyone without the bashing, please. Also, this is primarily a ShivIka related post.

I personally have always been of the opinion that the show should not last for long because Indian makers have a tendency to ruin it badly. I want the show to end on a high note where I am kept begging for more, not a situation where I have to beg for it to end. Having said that I also think there is a lot to explore. KM Raaz, Anika's past, Anika's pregnancy or the upcoming new track with SSO making his own identity is everything I have always wanted. But the makers always come under pressure from various sides and ruin it 😕 Just like what happened with Vanvaas. When will they realize that equal ss or forced group scenes is not the way to go. And agar baat equal ss ki hi hai toh sabko alag dikhao 😡

So what do you guys think? How bad would it be if they tied up loose ends with the up coming track that seems to be interesting, treat that as their final chapter, give us (and themselves) a khidkitor, celebratory ending and bid adieu on a high? Wouldn't it be good to save the show from more ruin?

Yup I will be very happy if we get a solid ending but I do feel we have good and important tracks left which can easily run the show till July/Aug. Makers need to buck up and write a track in a proper way. Not just the start, the mid and conclusion needs to be proper too. And for the love of God dont ruin Vanvaas this time by making it a picnic!!

And I would conclude this by saying can the makers please be gutsy enough to do the rightful and what is actually needed to save the show now.

Ah!..finally someone with the same feelings. And it is not because I feel elders boring or have no respect for cultures. Dadi character is really getting very very boring. Being an old viewer of cable TV shows from 1995, I would say even BA (kyunki..) was much more interesting in the dadi avatar and she was not shown as cool dadi type. There are normally 2 characterisations of Dadis in TV serials..a cool one or a sensible one. I think this dadi is now a helpless boring one. And I don't understand why shivaay has to raise the kids. Means if you are living in the joint family and your parents are always fighting or busy in business and your grandparents are alive and not bedridden then logically shouldn't the kids be raised by dadi rather than shivaay (as parent) as usually the show try to convey? In a normal real world settings this usually happens if someone have working/fighting parents and and have fit and fine grandparent at home then normally grandparent taken the role of a parent not an elder sibling.

Exactly. She just stands there all helpless or she's busy giving Ishqbaazi lectures for the millionth time. She worked in the early days because she was the foil to the messed up parents that are Tej, Jhanvi, Shakti and Pinky. But now she's gotten stale. And she doesn't do anything other than just stand with OTT expressions in every dramatic scene

I think the real issue can crop in if they really show something from Anika past and build a story around it along with shivaay and Anika journey to success. One of the popular other channel show with female lead building up a business independently in 7 years(,entrepreneur), male-female lead having real life issues between them and all have explored and executed the idea quite well (and end is shown in time as well without dragging). The bone of contention or issues can be different from ",third person". In life and in a relationship, it is not always the third person that is needed to create issue between two persons in relationship (the above mentioned show managed to show issues without bringing in their person). Let have some issues between shivaay and Anika based on how they think, how they react to certain issues, how they have different mindsets as two independent people. And then how they resolve the same and develops their relationship. Just don't make Anika like dutiful devouted wife "shivaay aapki izazzat me bagair you hum mar bhi no sakte" ( Deepika to Shahid in padmavat). The lollypops which some fan love will stop tasting sweet if it remains super idealistic fairytale relationship all the time. And we know it is simply not possible.Sooner or.Laterone of the character will get sidelined if there remains no dynamic in relationship (normally it used to be male lead being reduced to statue as femalee lead is normally have mahaan bahu duties)..but given harneet obsession it might be Anika getting sideline and reduced to Bollywood or south masala heroines in the future with nothing but been there as statue and devouted partner to shivaay.

Anika has already gotten sidelined in their love for Shivaay. The greatest example is that Chutki track, a track where they could explore all there is of Anika's story, and how she evolved to be who she is. We're 470 episodes in and makers are still delaying it😆

Ditto on the conflicts. Give them some real conflicts to grow their relationship. I feel like recently we're getting more lollipop-type conflicts that get over with in a jiffy, the latest one being that "fight" they had right before Dil Diyan Gallan

*Still need to see Padmaavat😆
