Lover to achcha nahi he...itni danger place me apne Pyaar ko bhej diya...

Vansh interesting he...hope ki future me bahot sare layer dekhne ko mile vansh ke character me...

Ridhima ab tak aesi ladki he jise sirf apne Pyaar par blind trust he... future me Kya pataa uska character totally different hi ho...

"Interesting...very interesting"wo sirf prof.vardhaan suryavanshi ka dialogue he...aur kisi ka nahi...

Thanks, @Manisha_Vankar. An undercover agent does not have a formal office, and Kabir works in one, but he has no other contact in the CBI. I mean, field officers also have to report to someone. Uske love ka mujhe samajh nahi aata. He only wants to hurt Vansh.

Vansh has an innate quality which Kabir lacks - the ability to protect the ones he cares for. Kabir found it rather easy to send a woman he claims to love, for some obsession he has. Would Vansh do that? I think not.

Riddhima's innate quality is to cross all limits for the man she loves which is very similar to Vansh. Whenever they come together, they will do anything and everything to protect and love each other.

I remember Krip Suri from Sadda Haq. He did that bit better. With Vansh, it sounds forced.

Vansh aesa kabhi nahi karta...uske liye family hi sab kuch he...

Jab pyaar hoga to dono kuch bhi karege ek duje ke liye...mujhe wo sab dekhna he...hope ki dekhne ko milega...

Krip suri & his dialogue...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum.

I watched a good part of IMMJ s1 because I was intrigued about what this PH would do after KRPKAB. I loved the twists and turns before it became totally difficult to follow.

I only know Helly and Rrahul from previous shows - all other cast members are new to me but I must say the casting is interesting in the sense that any one of them could eventually be revealed as the villain.

You can tell there are lots of secrets and everyone has some shade of gray. I believe even Siya would show hers at some point, though whether or not she's a/the mastermind is a revelation a long way off. Frankly, I don't mind seeing twists and turns here, as long as they make sense.

So far, this is the only show I am watching daily. Production values are great but I am not sure how many more times I can hear 'interesting, very interesting'... LOL!

So after Season 1, I did not have high hopes with Season 2 and so far don't have any high hopes. ITV knows how to screw up good shows, and I have seen fairly every show go down the drain, so very low expectations. Given the current coronavirus situation, I am still willing to give a benefit of doubt in the editing and hiccups, but storywise, there are issues that need to be addressed.

Kabir is one of the most lackadaisical and sloppy CBI agent, I have seen, belonging to a department which has only him and his colleague, Pingle. What kind of a CBI department is this? And this guy is busy chasing a "supposed" villain for 2 years, and how? Planting an agent who very easily gets killed. Planting a girlfriend who 24 hours back knew he was a PT teacher and is now going into the villain's den with little to no resources? Which CBI department allows this, man? And he is supposed to love that girl. What love I must say. No background story, no moments, just randomly out of the air a guy and gal pop up who are in love. And honestly, Vishal should work on his expressions. He looks like he is sick and tired of his job and gf and will quit any moment. He should have an equal amount of impact as much as Vansh does. Kabir looks very weary and helpless. If he turns out to be the master manipulator, he should fit the bill.

Vansh is shown to be an overtly suspicious, controlling, suave businessman with a criminal proclivity on the side. He is stoic and stone cold. But that is just one side of his personality. Another "Very interesting" side of his is his tendency to continuously harp on "Interesting. Very interesting" taqiya kalam given to him, which is now driving me up the wall.😡 Arre, kabhi kabhi dikhao yaar, itna bhi mat dikhao ke jo dekh raha hai uska dimaag kharaab ho jaye. And the kind of character he has, he should have been the agent, not Kabir. Itna sharp aur calculating insaan hai, and then we have to tolerate Kabir as a CBI agent. Role reversal ho gaya hai kya? But Vansh though seems sharp, also seems to be pushed around a lot by this family of his. He may be just the face, with someone else pulling the strings. I mean, he is definitely a powerful and strong character, but there are layers and experiences which define why and how he is. I feel that this guy is a player and pawn at the same time. Let's see, how that unfolds.

Riddhima is an orphan, she is a sloppy part-time party planner and an inexperienced physiotherapist who is just randomly selected to be the physiotherapist to VR's sister Siya because somehow he finds her "Very Interesting". And being an orphan and raised to be independent, who should be very wary and suspicious of people, so easily, in fact blindly trusts Kabir, who lied to her about being a PT teacher, because she loves him. Ye puri love story me hi jhol hai. Atleast, RidAnsh will have more meat than RidBir. She is an equally sloppy spy, which is natural because she is trained by one. Arre yaar, Raazi hi dekh lete, Sehmat is also a civilian, but she is trained to go into the family and give secret information to the department. Atleast dhang ki training dikhate by Kabir to bharosa aata ki haan bhai, ye hai CBI ka banda, but what a massive disappointment. And madam ghar me ghuste hi spygiri chalu. When you know what kind of a guy your boss is, why even try. Settle at the house, observe the surroundings, observe the people, and get to business. But no, why show logic? Watching Riddhima as a spy is such a pain and seeing Kabir guide her adds to the pain. Behen, tum ek kaam karo. Spygiri sikhni hai to apne boss se sikho, tere boyfriend se to behtar hi hoga.😆

Family me to koi bhi seedha nahi hai, whether its "Jiyo mere sher" wale chacha, whether its the typical mom-in-the-future-turning-vamp, whether its the good-for-nothing siblings jinke do paise ki aukaad nahi hai, bas bhagwan ne muh diya hai chalate hai, dimaag to hai hi nahi. Dadi is typical dadi material and sister Siya is seemingly suspicious, cause I am not sure about her being the nice one either. Let's see.

So overall, the thrill of a thriller is missing. The CBI officer is so bad, don't know what kind of manipulator he will turn out to be, but by the looks of it, he is capable of throwing his girl under the bus any given moment. Then we have a sly and calculating so-called villain who looks more like he is afflicted by pain than the one who inflicts pain on others. And then we have the girl, who needs to get her game going using her brain. Her "main tumhare liye kuch bhi kar sakti hu Kabir" won't really help her here.

Well, that's my review of the past few episodes. Do share your thoughts.😊

Indeed u have pointed out many funny but logical things in your analysis. I could not help but do LOL at some of the logical things u rightly pointed out whether its regarding our CBI agent Kabir/Sloppy Spy Ridzi or the Mafia Boss Vansh.

Today that Sher Wale Cha-cha was shown as one of the family traitors who nurses a secret desire for the position/Power VR has and is waiting in the wings to strike at that moment when VR would be at its weakest but unfortunately for the Cha-cha his bhatija VR is the opposite of what the Uncle wants. in short VR Trusts No One not even his own family with the exception of Siya and Dadi perhaps.

Ishani's airy manners remind me of Tara sometimes.Tara had that elite feeling of being the Best and the only worthy girl of this world.

As for VR I am getting more and more Deep vibes from him.Forget Kabir he's not even in the game yet. Mafia Bosses or Godfathers are anyway very complicated personalities. While VR-Ridzi wedding was always on the cards wonder how it's happening so quickly? VR ko achanak Ridzi se True Love Ho gaya kya jaise out of the Blue Kabir aur Riddhima ka Love Story dikhaya Gaya?

In Chacha's language Sher ko apni Sherni mil gaya lagta hai.

Ridzi more and more is reminding me of Arohi. She has this Mera Kabir wala syndrome like Arohi had for Deep. Both could find no fault in their mates. But Arohi had only 1 mate Deep though she might had 2 suitors-Abhimanyu and that Late Lawyer Kailash perhaps.

Ridzi ka double Sirdard hai-VR and Kabir.Should I add that pesky Aryan to the mix though its not Ridzi's fault.

I am still confused as to who seriously loves or let's say gonna love Ridzi. Both Kabir and VR are master players.The least Kabir could have done is to send someone as the backup for Ridzi.

Arohi had Chavanni as her spy backup Ridzi has no one. Will there be any kiddo spy for Ridzi in this season?

I have no problem with VR-Ridzi's wedding but why is VR marrying Ridzi.To trap her or is he seriously developing possessiveness for her. Deep had seasonal love-pangs/OCD for Arohi. Aisa lagta the maano Deep Arohi ke bina ek pal bhi jee nahi payega.

Even that funny Novelist looked like a VR planted man to keep tabs on Ridzi's spy activities.

I know VR is the Mafia and had a cruel past but would he be willing to change for the girl. What made VR marry Ridzi suddenly? Even Deep was sometimes unsure of his feelings for Arohi-Love or mere attraction.

If VR is gonna marry Ridzi just to trap and humiliate her dignity then its Deep Part 2.Being in Love does not mean being lovey-dovey always but giving the respect and equal position in the relationship for your mate.

Unfortunately Ridzi is being sloppy and giving no reason for VR to trust her forget the Love part.Deep always claimed to have hidden love for Arohi yet rarely displayed the same.

VR and Kabir indeed are 2 pieces of the same coin. The moot point is will the Mafia seriously fall for the Girl spy?

After a point, nothing made sense in Season 1, so I am seriously not going to talk about it.

I only know Helly and Rrahul from previous shows - all other cast members are new to me but I must say the casting is interesting in the sense that any one of them could eventually be revealed as the villain.

Honestly, here they are only showing Vansh to be the ultimate villain, which I am sure isn't the case. I don't trust Kabir or Vansh's family. I think only Riddhima and Vansh are being used here.

You can tell there are lots of secrets and everyone has some shade of gray. I believe even Siya would show hers at some point, though whether or not she's a/the mastermind is a revelation a long way off. Frankly, I don't mind seeing twists and turns here, as long as they make sense.

Exactly, that is what a thriller is all about, but if TRP doesn't talk then these people will screw the show over.

So far, this is the only show I am watching daily. Production values are great but I am not sure how many more times I can hear 'interesting, very interesting'... LOL!

Exactly!😆

I have a different theory,I feel that riddhima,vansh and kabir are all related to each other in the past. But something happened in the past and all three were seperated and then something bad happened to riddhima and she lost her memory( if u see new promo with choti sardarni, riddhima said something about nayi pehchan and all that) ..and kabir took advantage of that and thats why he became PT teacher to get close to riddhima so that he can use her against vansh...and i think in the backyard vansh was talking to riddhima's statue..

I like your theory too @Tejaswini240896. I think it works well into the story. In fact, if Riddhima actually did lose her memory, then Sejal, her best friend, could also be a set up by Vansh to safeguard her or Kabir to keep an eye on her or vice versa. Regarding the nayi pehchaan, I think this is an upcoming sequence to RidAnsh marriage in all probability. Let's see what happens. But I feel Vansh and Kabir both are not so simple, neither Vansh is a villain nor is Kabir the hero.

@libran ur points never fails to amaze me or any other person on this forum.Your analysis are always insightful and exhaustive. But I respectfully disagree with your points between the difference of VR and Deep.

Both are no saints that's for sure but does VR really know his limits regarding the women? Didn't he kill Agent Neha though her death still remains a mystery? So that makes him a killer then or his Truth Serum & other misogynistic treatments for the sloppy spy Ridzi? And he is supposed to fall in love with her.

Yes VR is neither a charmer nor a Heartless Casanova like Deep but he's a master manipulator like Deep was.VR had inherited all the traits Deep had with few differences between them. Deep killed Vasudha and some other woman the name I don't remember.

Also don't forget VR is a cold-blooded Mafia whatever the past experience or sordid life VR might had.His cruel past is no excuse for his shabby treatment for Ridzi. There's a difference between being suspicious and misogynistic. Did VR get betrayed by any women in the past? What's the guarantee VR gonna change for Ridzi?

After all Ridzi is no Tara for VR. Evil always attracts Evil that's why Deep always preferred Tara over Arohi.Bluntly speaking I neither trust VR nor Kabir.Kabir might be shabby whatever now but he's no fool either.

VR always gives this Deep vibes-hiding his real feelings and displaying cold expressions that's why VR's feelings for Ridzi looks like mere attraction now. It could be possible that VR has his own Tara though she might not had come into the picture yet.After all Mafia leaders always looks to maintain their position or power.

VR looks much better suited for Tara than Ridzi.Both denote power and Privilige.If VR is the SOS of Ishqbaaz then it makes sense but is he really that one?

VR is in short a money-minded Psychopath like Deep was.I don't have problems with Ridansh shippers since VR's mysterious appeal fits the bill so perfectly but certainly I don't see any Ga-Ga type situation for this. Why is VR suddenly marrying Ridzi if he's suspicious about her? Isn't it a bobby-trap Ridzi is walking into bcoz she's got no choice with no Plan B or Plan C? Ridzi is doing all this for her one and only love Kabir.

Yes VR being cold makes sense now but if Arohi's love could not change Deep then certainly I don't see Ridzi's two-sided love having the same effect. Her heart is in the possession of Kabir.

Yes VR's background is quite open compared to the secret Deep had but Psychopaths whether fictional/real rarely change from the inside.Both Deep and VR had gone through the journey of pain and humiliation.Deep refused to accept Arohi's love as the pain-kilker what's the guarantee VR won't repeat the same?

If VR wants Ridzi then it would be better that he goes the extra distance for her.Does/Will VR have that burning desire for Ridzi's love or is she just a mere object of desire for him? I don't see VR leaving his kingdom for Ridzi but whether she's VR true/only Queen only time will tell.

Like it or not VR is undoubtedly the Deep of this season albeit a different version. VR's love would always be twisted for Ridzi.He might love her madly but hurt her at the same time. And Ridzi would have to go through a very hard time for VR. Already she's experiencing this due to Kabir's selfishness.

Well, that's my review of the past few episodes. Do share your thoughts.😊

About Kabir what if he is not a CBI agent, what if he is manipulating Riddhima to think so, that could explain a lot of things. It's IIMJ so it is possible Kabir has some revenge/enimity with and Riddhima is an innocent fool of a pawn in his game like Deep did with Arohi in season 1.

Riddhima is an orphan then she is definitely deprived of love and affection all her life. Living in dreams often naive and foolish castles of Cinderella and Prince Charming and happily ever after. That is why she is succumbing to Kabir manipulation and may be that is why she is a good biddable pawn for him. I think she does not love Kabir as much as her life long need for love and family is.

Vansh he is sharp yes and even though I myself find his "interesting, very interesting" dialogue a little OTT at times I guess it's like "What the.." of Arnav from IPKKND or "Haila" of Monisha from Sarabhai. I believe eventually takiyakalams make a character iconic. So .. don't bother much about itm

Like it or not VR is undoubtedly the Deep of this season albeit a different version. VR's love would always be twisted for Ridzi.He might love her madly but hurt her at the same time. And Ridzi would have to go through a very hard time for VR. Already she's experiencing this due to Kabir's selfishness.

@masked, I agree with the points you are making. In fact, in my opinion, even RK from Madhubala was a psychopath. Although fans went gaga over their chemistry, I for one did not appreciate his behavior with Madhu. It was downright atrocious.

With Vansh, he is a mafia, he is cold, he is controlling. He is not any saint. But since he is mafia, it is acceptable, because the profession they belong, it is but natural. Hiding the animal within under suits and accessories is their thing. And yes, I would also agree that I prefer Vansh and Riddhima over Kabir and Riddhima any day. I don't find Kabir as invested in Riddhima, as much as she is invested in him. I am not going gaga over it, but when I think from a character POV, I think RidAnsh both suit each other better.

Love can change people only if they want to change yaar. Credit is given to the girl, but ultimately, only if the man is willing to change will he change. So even if Riddhima falls for Vansh and tries to change him, he will change only if he wants to, otherwise, he will remain as it is. Since it is a thriller, I feel that Vansh's "Mafia Boss" act is sometimes not convincing. There are layers to it. In fact, I feel that he is not totally in control of his empire, and there is someone else calling the shots here. I may be wrong, but I get that feeling.

Also, Vansh falling in love with Riddhima so easily is unconvincing. Love is not the reason for this marriage, for either. Out of the blue, a man like Vansh falling for someone is hard to believe. He can be attracted to her, but if there is any obsession keeda in him like Deep for Riddhima, I don't know. In fact, there are many signs that show that over time Riddhima could become his obsession. If he does fall for her down the timeline, there is no escaping for Riddhima, because Vansh will not let go. Also, when he is aware of her betrayal, would he be able to go through with finishing her off like he did to Neha, not sure. In fact, Neha's death too was unconvincing.

With Kabir, they are showing he is a CBI agent who loves his country, but he could be an imposter. He could be like Vardhan/Malik in Don movie, who was serving as Interpol officer, but in fact, was mafia. It could be taken that way. Maybe Vansh and Kabir are both mafia rivals trying to gain an upper hand because to me Kabir is taking his rivalry with Vansh way more personally than a CBI officer should, to a point that he has staked his girlfriend here.

Riddhima is the pawn here on this chessboard, and when she will become the opponent's (Vansh) queen, you never know. Queen is very important on the board. She could either support the opponent King Kabir and break her king Vansh, or she could be Vansh's strongest savior defeating Kabir in his own game. Never underestimate the ability of a pawn, which is Riddhima.
