IPKKND Podcast | Episode 21: Hospital Hug *Pg 8* March 24

Hello everyone,

I am S from Iss Podcast Ko Kya Naam Doon and we're back to posting the episode analyses over here! 

When two strangers meet, discover their love for the same show that lasted the test of time, are driven insane by the endless quarantine and share their crazy discussions with the world - Iss Podcast Ko Kya Naam Doon?

This podcast will cover the A to Z of IPKKND. It’s been nine years since the show aired, but the magic that captured our interest has yet to fade. There’s a lot we love about the show, but there is also just as much to critique. We figured instead of discussing these over video calls inexhaustibly, we’d record ourselves and share it with the rest of you because we’re just that narcissistic maybe you share our opinions too!

Join us on our rewatch of IPKKND. We promise a lot of sass, a healthy dose of disagreement, and a sprinkle of laughter along the way.

With love,
R & S

On this lengthy (yes, after all this is where the red saree photoshoot happened) episode of Iss Podcast Ko Kya Naam Doon, we discuss the end of the office track in detail, especially the first 'Rabba Ve'. It's a spectacular and plot changing moment in the show and we discuss the official introduction of the romance and Arnav Khushi's theme. It was charming, sizzling, and we had a lot of opinions - perhaps a bit too much. Either way, we had immense fun in discussing this significant episode in the show and we hope you like it too!

On this episode of Iss Podcast Ko Kya Naam Doon, we discuss one of the best scenes of IPK - the resignation scene. Why was it the perfect scene? What is the beauty of a great story arc? How did it balance television expectations and cliche breaking storytelling?   

We mostly fangirled over this episode, but also focused (perhaps a bit too much) on the what ifs if IPK continued with the characters and writing established here! We hope you like this episode too - do leave your thoughts on this podcast below.

On this episode of Iss Podcast Ko Kya Naam Doon, we discuss the first episode where Arnav and Khushi can sense each other - at the office! Reeling from Teej, these two episodes pack a punch! While we swoon at the multiple Rabba Ve's, we also question the problematic setup of Arnav's aggression as his characteristic.  

Also, we specifically focus on Khushi's legendary "hum Lucknow jaa rahe hai, humesha humesha ke liya!".

In this episode of Iss Podcast Ko Kya Naam Doon, S, Ridz and Amrita discuss one of the weirdest job proposals in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (IPKKND). There's no denying that IPKKND was one of the best shows on Indian Television, but even best shows have some tracks that make you go... what? From Khushi being an eternal champ to Anjali's 'manipulation' to get her to work at Shantivan - there was a lot to talk about in today's episode!  We hope you enjoyed this episode, feel free to leave your thoughts below!
