Greetings to Respected Director,
Before I want to express my point of view regarding the serial IPKKND, I just wanted to say that my intention is definitely not to hurt you or to criticize anyone, if I have? I truly apologize.
Please Note: There is absolutely no complaints on actors/actress, everybody is too good and they have 100% justified the character role given to them, especially Barun and Sanaya acting is ossom, their chemistry is too good.
Ok to begin with I have read in one of your recent interview which you have mentioned in your own words that "in my free time which is very rare but in my holidays i am big fan of myeduniya especially, loads of people in the forum don't give nasty comments to other views which is a good thing... i love to read their stories, and yeah if it is a good story and fits in with my characters then after checking with my workers we do it our own way, but following the fan's view, but in our own words...", RIGHT! So I am hereby taking the liberty of mentioning few mistakes of which I have noticed, not only me most of the viewers would have noticed in IPKKND serial. If you are actually reading this letter, I am expecting you to kindly correct them at least in future.
When I first started watching Iss Paar Ko Kya Naam Doon Serial, I started feeling it is a serial which is really different from other serials in all aspects. I started getting the idea it has got more effect of mills and boon novels which I have read in plenty.
- In the beginning when we used to watch IPKKND there is to be perfect continuity from previous episode to the next episode, but unfortunately from last almost one and half months there is no proper continuity at all in the episodes. I don't know what exactly is going on in the unit of IPKNND these days. My guess is either there must be lot of interference to the director for to take a decision on the story part, or the director is working in overconfidence (which is very bad).
- First of all when you have shown ASR as a big business tycoon, a little more sophistication is required for the character. There is no PA for him, any tom dick & harry can walk to his cabin. The house of ASR is such a huge bungalow, but the bathroom is so simple. The slipper which was worn by ASR on 11/4/2012 was so bad. Wardrobe locker is so simple to keep such confidential papers and that too Shyam's - knowingly very well now that he is a culprit, and asking HP to keep that confidential file in the almirah. Common on ASR is so intelligent and self-made man, please justify his role a little more.
- And most importantly you are not making him to think about khushi's nature. In the sense her reliability, her caring for the family, her concern for him, her justification on any issues where he used to get convinced. Instead you are always reminding him of the terrace incident where she was with shyam. He even said to khushi after their heer ranjha show, that "don't believe in everything you see", make him realize that rule applies to him also connected to terrace incident of khushi's and shyam, b'coz he keeps saying ke woh dhimak se sochtha hai dil se nahin. I am not saying all this should happen in one day, but it is also high time for you to show ASR in this angle where we viewers also feel the business tycoon and the intelligent man is thinking sensibly. All these days what we are able to see is, whenever khushi comes quite closer to Arvav his mind will become week and rabbave background will start! And that's all-----?.
- Now coming back to shyam's issue, when ASR has come to know that shyam is not a good person, why doesn't he hire some agency for his background check. Now a days all big companies do employees background check, in that case if ASR company is really big, they should definitely be having a tie-up with good agency, so it should not be difficult for Arnav to hire someone (someone means really professional, not again someone who will fall into shyam's trap OK) to check shyam's background.
- You should add little more dignity to Khushi's role. That dabba service is so disgusting to hear and watch(I am sorry, personally speaking I have nothing against on this dabba service job, I also respect dignity of labour). Instead of that you could have made her to work chickenkaari (lucknow work) on materials, get orders from outside and work from home, it would have been much more better. Yes, nowadays she has started taking tuition class for children, and that sounds much better.
- Please update salwar suits of khushi. You could have even made arnav buying her good cloths as a token of thanks, for khushi saving his company from those frauds.
- ALL SAID IS FORGOTTEN: in previous episode you would have shown a big fight between asr and khushi and the next episode all is forgotten. Or in a similar way you would show their love and next moment it would change. And here like fools we will be waiting for next episode thinking that some interesting will be there, but we get to watch something useless.
- Where is NK? please bring him back. And what about NK's camera? I was thinking in any chance the terrace scene of khushi and shyam would have been recorded in that, and one day arnav will watch that video and get to know the truth. But unfortunately nothing of that sort is going to happen I think, anyways I have given you the idea you can think about it, still not late.
- What about khushi's parents and bhuaji? not to be seen. Please try and show them sometime in between. Infact you could make arnav and akash to take care of their father-in-law by organizing to give good treatment and gradually help him to become normal, so that he also on later stage can be a good and strong witness of shyam's criminal thinking.
- DHOKEBAAZ was a heavy word which was used by khushi relating to arnav, when she was justifying herself with the judges for not accepting the prize with her husband.
- And by the way how can anyone be so sure who is going to win, before the competition could start. Here one of the contestants comes and tells payal not to perform, b'coz they are in need of prize money and her husband has lost his job. Ok even if we think this part can be digested, you could have shown it in a different way. Let us think that lady came and spoke to payal, you could have made payal think in a sensible way by giving her best performance with her mother-in-law b'coz, most importantly her relationship with her mil should improve and this could have been a good opportunity to show, so naturally she should have given the importance there first. Secondly she should have taught that by chance she is going to win, she will convince akash to give away the prize money through her mil to that lady who is in need of it and take the trophy home, also give an opportunity to manorama to address her speech who was eagerly practicing from quite some time. Just see how much difference it would have been made, payal and maamiji's relationship would have lightened up, the family could have taken the trophy home with pride, the other contestants problem also would have been solved. Even later if you had shown Arnav and Khushi wining the prize, you could have changed the situation by payal coming and convincing khushi instead of akash - that's it. My god, instead of that you have complicated the whole episode.
- What was that khushi saying on 26th march 2012, since her wish was to start catering business one day, now that her wish is fulfilled, she can die in peace. My god! Why such heavy dialog for such simple situation I can't understand.
- EARLY DIALOG: when arnav asks khushi's hand for to dance in that bali episode 27th march 2012, what does she say that she is so much used to doing things according to whatever he is saying, now that he is asking something she does not know what to do. According to whatever I have understood this dialoq is related to only previous day episode, b'coz of the big fight they had, so I feel it was too early to make khushi to speak this way that too the very next day.
- There is no proper continuity from scene to scene. I don't know if the back stage incharge person is actually doing his/her job properly. For eq. on 9th april 2012 (continued from 6th april 2012) episode where arnav will come down in search of khushi, granny who is inside the house will come and ask him whom he is looking for, next moment we are seeing granny coming from outside along with maami and payal.
- When payal wrote and gave English speech (the first speech) for her mother-in-law in a paper, when manorama started practicing the speech looking at the paper every now and then, the paper what we the viewers saw was completely blank. Same thing was noticed when arnav took a book from the shelf to read on 6th april 2012 was just a dairy with blank pages.
- When khushi was about to fall (5th april 2012) when arnav held her hand to save, in seconds khushi's hand has been changed from right hand to left hand and left hand to right hand and that too 3 to 4 times.
- Payal's english knowledge and accent is good, but how come khushi's is bad.
- And please stop khushi going to ASR's office with that dabba, and interrupting him when he is sitting with his clients and that too with an important meeting. Whatever she wants to do like teaching him a lesson let her do it at home or in four corners.
- When khushi prepares khada for the 2nd time and gets for arnav (30th march 2012) from down; when she is carrying the glass from down she will be holding a cloth to the glass, but once she reaches the room to handover the glass to arnav suddenly the cloth in her hand is missing and the same cloth is lying behind where arnav is sitting, and khushi when handing over the glass to arnav says that the glass is hot for him to hold in bare hands picks the cloth (looks the same to what she carried from down) from behind and will hand over the glass along with the cloth to arnav.
- And please start showing precaps, b'coz otherwise also we are able to watch precap through youtube.
Finally what I want to say is, first of all your team is so lucky to have each other there, everyone is so talented, utilize them in a right way. Moreover trp of this serial is so good and you have good viewers and crazy fans from national as well as international, that means mistakes at this point should not happen at all. You should be more cautious, story should not drag on, unnecessary changes should not be made in the serial, unless if it is required.
Barun Sobti is so good in his acting, even when he is not given any dialog, he can make wonders with just his expressions. Sanaya Irani's acting is very lively & equally good.
As I have told earlier please consider this letter in a healthy way, looking forward for good episodes in future without disappointing us anymore.
WISHING YOU AND THE WHOLE TEAM OF IPKKND A GOOD SUCCESS
Thanking you,
