Repasting my post for this very topic from another thread
I'm more disappointed with the editing because marriage/confession/proposal are usually the high points of a serial, and it's generally these episodes that attract new fans.
At this moment, these episodes aren't giving me that vibe
Even as a fan, it's not an episode that's screaming at me to "go and tell your friends to have a look at this"
Holi/Mehendi/Resort/Pool all seem to be far superior shot episodes compared to the recent ones we're getting.
I liked the pool confession one a fair bit, and actually managed to get some new folks onboard by showing videos from that episode.
IPZN is currently on a bit of a high- the viewership numbers are good, there's a fandom building, the number of interviews are increasing and Sony have started to promote it.
Can't afford to let this part go waste- if done right, this momentum can take the serial to new heights, but if poorly done, can sink it as well.
The lead actors/characters can only do so much- greater power exists in the hands of the director/editors/story writers.
