You can post as much as you want and complain as much as you want, it won't help. This particular PH has already shot itself in the foot with comedy for its last show...that was cancelled btw. They are headstrong and hellbent on giving the story THEY want to give. They obviously don't care about us because if they did they would have improved our show months ago. Other than the Holi epis, the show has been unbearable since late January, early February. You can't tell me the people who make this show don't see their ratings drop, they don't read complaints on SP website and FB. THEY DO! THEY JUST DON"T CARE!!! They have their vision, and they are going to stick to it, even it that means their show will get cancelled. How do I know?? I used to watch their last show, and I watched 4 Lions turn that show into unintelligible dribble. I just couldn't watch any more. It broke my heart. I tuned in for the last episode, which was nice and that was it. Prior to the final episode the last episode I DVRd was the wedding, in January 2011. After that it went straight downhill.
Here is the point: The CVs in this PH do not know how to proceed once they get their leads married. Plain and simple. They make all the wrong moves, they miscalculate all their equations, and they don't stay true to their characters. If you noticed, this show started going downhill shortly after the marriage. All the things they should have done, they failed to capitalize on. Examples: Arnie's anger and angst over her perceived betrayal, but still being in love with Khushi; the sexual tension that has existed between them since October(they are living in the same room for goodness sakes); her determination to find out the truth behind the marriage; Shyam's jealous rage. So many of these things could have taken this story forward in spite of the MU. But the CVs don't know how to bring it.
Again, how do I know? On 4 Lions last show the now pregnant girl, betrayed by her believed hubby, meets and falls in love with her true soulmate, his brother. OUCH!!! What a story. Here are some ways to go with that. Soulmate took absolute responsibility and emotional concern over baby; real father comes back to cause trouble; baby gets sick and needs something from his/her real papa; real papa watching baby call him uncle and his brother papa; girl always in the middle, but loyal to soulmate, etc... I really could go on. But what did 4 Lions do? They killed the baby(after said baby had survived a sword attack, gun play and several near misses, girl miscarried by falling down a few stairs, had said girl forgive the betrayer in one day and boom our show was done. THAT was when I stopped watching. I will wait to see what will make me stop watching my beloved IPKKND. But I sadly know, for a fact, and due to the above mentioned track record, that this PH will ruin this show further and by the time all the said MU are over and the romance actually starts, they will have received a warning from SP to pick up the TRPs or risk cancellation.
I know I sound angry, and I am. I'm angry at myself for knowing the PH involved, but still allowing myself to get hooked on this show. There are two clear reasons for that: Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti. I will stay on for awhile because of those two original reasons, and see if 4 Lions proves me wrong or if lightning will strike yet another of their shows.
Only time will tell.
