It is always a pleasure to write about what you love the most.
It is always a pleasure to analyse about what you love the most.
It is always a pleasure to think critically about what you love the most.

So I did that for IPKKND. Because it is the only hindi fictional show which I love the most.

After following the show from day 1, I have divided my views in following format. It is my personal POV.

What is missing in IPKKND these days ??

  • Lalit Mohan's Direction
  • Flawless Direction with Intensity and passion.
  • Solid script.
  • Siblings scenes with good message for the viewers.
  • Intense ARSHI scenes. ( I am not getting much ARSHI scenes these days. I know show is not about ARSHI only, but re-marriage track has started so I want to see more of ARSHI because it is their track and most awaited for the viewers )

What are the looseends in the show these days ?

So many things are not yet out and tracks moving on one by one so I am addressing them as loose ends of the show.

  • Shyam tried to kill Khushi's father
  • Shyam tried to kill Anjali thrice
  • WILL paper fiasco
  • Kidnapping Fiasco and Shyam is an evil is half proved. HUGE Disappointment for the viewers.
  • Manorama supported Khushi while searching ASR and once truth came out she backed out. Strange..very strange. Illogical.
  • Gupta House is not at all aware about Shyam is out of RM even after ARSHI's engagement.

What is not working with the viewers ?

  • Humiliation of the female character
  • Everytime using Female lead as a scapegoat
  • POOJALI and her crocodile tears
  • POOJALI and her talks without brains
  • POOJALI and her actions/dialogues without brains
  • Anjali's character took a complete 360 degree turn.
  • Too many parallel tracks
  • Shyam's re-entry with Dadi and Garima's past connection. ( should do it one by one)

What is working with the viewers ?

  • ARSHI bond
  • ARSHI love
  • ARSHI companionship
  • ARSHI's care for each other
  • ASR changed to ARNAV
  • Khushi's unconditional love for Arnav
  • ASR's can-do-anything-for-his-lady love-khushi attitude

What are the my expectations in the scenes as a loyan fan of the show ?

  • ARSHI Scenes
  • NK - Khushi Scenes
  • Khushi - Payal Scenes
  • ASR - Akash Scenes
  • ASR - NK Scenes
  • Khushi - Buaji Scenes
  • Khushi - Nani Scenes

USP ( Unique Selling Point ) of the show

  • Unique Love Story Plot
  • ARSHI Chemistry
  • Barun Sobti & Sanaya Irani ( Two finest actors of Indian Television )

The HIGHLY irritating character of IPKKND -

Anjali Shyam Manohar Jha aka JHALI aka RUDALI aka Pujali etc etc.

Manorama Mami and her dialogues.

Theme of the show -

  • Nafrat Paas ane na de, Mohabbat Door Jane Na de - IPKKND
  • Love to Hate , Hate to Love
  • I HATE you Like I LOVE you.
  • When ARSHI are together they FIGHT, When they are apart they MISS each other.
  • Story revolves around Arnav and Khushi and their love - hate relationship from Day 1. Poojali is a part of the show and not the lead. Hope CV's stick to it in the near future.

What should be expected from the channel and the production house ?

  • A very solid promo ( Teri Meri style promo )
  • A promo should come 3 to 4 days in advance with atleast 30-35 seconds duration and content should be new for the audience.
  • A promo which should shock the audience in a positive way and they should left with no choice rather than watching the episode.

What should be expected from the Production house ?

  • A decent PR tactics
  • A good and sensible marketing.
  • Positive Marketing.
  • Some sensible discussion on their official Facebook page about the feedback for the show rather than just posting Pics for nothing.
  • Some Professionalism from the members of the production house.
  • A good Fashion designer for our darling and gorgeous Sanaya Irani.

My suggestions to the production house as an ardent follower of the show -

  • India Forums's Arshians will follow the show no matter what, after ranting. But actual TRP audience of the country won't do that.

  • So, don't take TRP audience for granted. Because TRP audience have an option if they don't like anything.

  • Loyalty is very rare when it come's to Idiot box so be aware. Show's TRP has almost halved from January. 4.5 to 2.5 it is. Harsh Reality it is. Better to accept. Sooner the better.

  • To try something new and unique and confusing the audience is a HUGE risk and not the need of the hour.

PERIOD..

If all these works out properly, Show will definitely top TRP charts. Arnav and Khushi's love story will always be remembered in the
HISTORY of Indian Television.

As my role model and all time fav actor from Childhood Aamir Khan says,

" Dil Pe Lagegi, Tabhi Bat Banegi."

Satyamev Jayate.

Cheers.😊

Omg res haha updating now juat wanna be on pg 1 ;)

Edited- thru phone!


Woow nisha! You said it so well! The much i miss lalit mohan, will ignore him as arshad is improving! But yes wont ignore how friday epi's direction n editing was a let down!

Now coming to ur other points ! Im actually surprised how gupta's didnt even bothered asking about creep :S

But honestly! PROMO bit i agree so much! Why dont u pass this thread to the channel! Please its really much needed ! If channel get this n think about it! Thn production house have to think about it!

Cuz this is a slap for the channel too! Which slipped to number 2! So its high time channel too should realize that treating us like a step show will not help thm!

Chalo nisha itna hi can type thru phone <3

-The first thing which the PH needs to do is release a gripping promo (like the first farak padtha hain promo, teri meri or holi promo). Earlier I used to watch the promos on replay but nowadays the promos are just lame that they are not even worth watching once. A hardcore IPK fan is saying this, so I can imagine that the normal TRP audience is easily turned away from the show. Just take a look at the recent promo. 3/4 of the promo contains Shyam and Anjali and Arhi just seem like side characters. Does the PH really think the audience wants to see Anjali and Shaym?! Arhi are the plus point of the show and they have to cash in on them as much as possible. The promo should have concentrated more on the lead couple with some cute moments. That would've triggered the audience's attention.


-Seccondly most of the people cannot connect with Anjali anymore because one moment she wants to kill her baby and the next moment she wants the baby to look like Shyam. Poojali is twisted and turned like no other character on television that the normal TRP audience who don't have the patience to analyze so much about her behavior switch the channel whenever she comes on screen. I forward her scenes too. So basically almost everyone cringes at the sight of her. And if 15 or 20 minutes of the episodes contains her scenes the PH shouldn't wonder if the TRPs go down.


-Then the hypocrisy of dadi jaan beats me! She follows every tradition and custom but then why is she hell bent on bringing Shyam back to the house and making him a ghar jamai?! Isn't it condemned in the society too?!


-where is Mamaji?! There is a marriage happening at his house and he is still away on a business trip?! Oh yeah!


- The Guptas haven't enquired about Shyam even after the Shagun and the roka happened. How come?!


- Please please please give Khushi some decent dresses. The one on the roka and the one in the mandir sucked! The black dress in the upcoming date looks better though. The re- marriage track is one of the most important tracks on the show. It is the PH responsibilty that they make Khushi look good.


Will add more if something else comes into my mind :P

Amazing post 😊 I really agree with you each and every word you have written. As a viewer there are many things I am fed up with asnd in any place if I say I will be respected with the tq of "Basher" so I am saying this here!

somewhere i am really fed up with the character Anjali. Anjali was a character who at first was portrayed as an understanding, caring, mature, strong enough woman. with her a sister-brother relation was also introduced and that was the best thing about this show.. which i had LOVed other than the hot hero.. till then i was not aware of the sizzling chemistry that the leads have. she was like a mother to his brother who seems to understand his silence too.. clearly remember her and Arnav's scene where she had asked him "Shadi Nahi Karni Ya Lavanya Se Shadi Nahi Karni?" and then the silence of her brother! she had understood him and made us understand too that why a man was in a relationship with a girl when he claims that he doesnt believe in marriage. she helped him to understand his own feelings. the guest house time when Arnav had dropped Khushi in her house and came back.. it was Anjali who asked him.. got to know.. called Khushi and asked about her health.. THEN she also told Arnav that Khushi was fine and DID say that "hum apko ache se jante hain.. ap na kahein tabhi hume pata chal jata hai"..Khushi threw the 15 days contract, gave him the much needed world-doesnt-revolves-around-you lesson. how mature Anjali we had seen there.. who made understand Arnav that all this mattered to him because it was "Khushi" that was the Anjali i had loved..adored and wished that every brother should get a sister like her. one smile on Anjali's face was the reflection of the pure and golden heart of her. even Anjali had some flaws in her character.. her blind love and trust on her husband was her flaw.. she was naive and innocent.. i felt pity for her cause till now i could connect with her and understand the fact that the past which had caused Arnav so much harm has caused her lot more than that. fair enough! her flaws not flaws or weakness.. it was her nature which i loved. and above all which wife wont trust her husband?

but now what i see i clearly dont understand.. do i see the same character which i had seen in the starting of the show. i dont feel it at all.. its not because she is meeting Shyam or anything.. its because the sister is cheating on her brother and is lying like anything.. she doesnt even feel a bit of guilt that she is hiding this thing from her brother.. the brother was looking at her in Roka Ceremony feeling and understanding his sister's pain.. caring for her every moment.! and this same sister now behaves as if she is not the Anjali. the innocence is now looking like dumbness. i was supposed to feel for her. i always thought that more than Arnav or Khushi, Anjali is the biggest sufferer in all this..cause at the end of all when Arnav and Khushi will get each others support she will loose the biggest support. but now i feel that what she got or is getting is deserved by her.. it was NOT supposed to be like this.. so if i say that the character has been ruined will I be wrong?

now comes the second thing i am fed up with.. something is missing in the show.. i tried to find out a lot that what is that "something" and finally i guess i got to know! .. the biggest thing that is missing with the show is a "tight script" despite of having everything there is nothing.. you cant make tea only by having all the things needed.. you must "know" how to make tea.. I feel the writers don't know know to make that tea.. from the past feb things have gone to drain.

They got the leads.. the most hot and passionate lead married.. a hate marriage…TRP 4.8 why? Audience expected things to be intense and passionate..what they got.. Swami!! the utter change in the attitude of the female lead.. like a child.. she hardly behaved like a married woman.. it was a big disrespect for the lead character. audience disappointed. again it should be like a marriage where the love would have been showed packed in hate packet.. the truth coming out.. Shyam's revelation.. Arnav repenting.. redemption..wooing..remarriage and then the past.. thats how things should be. what i noticed that that the PH in trying to make things unique makes things so complex that its getting hard to connect.

no promotion. are you kidding me? the leads are getting married.. this whole re-marriage things is bought so that they can get the TRP otherwise i didnt see any kind logical way to bring thing sudden re-marriage. so why now they are not promoting the marriage.. they should learn from the rival show..!!

i really dont know what they are actually planning with so many tracks! the main problem is not script NOW.. the main problem is BAD EXECUTION!! lack of gripping promotion.. lack of understanding between the story teller and listener!

i agree with everything you said! they STILL have time.. they need to understand and use the viewers because this show has got the most loyal fan base because of the actors Barun and Sanaya.. and i guess they shoul now stop taking audience for granted! they day they understand that audience are not fool they can do a lot!!

👏wonderful post dear...
u just said everything well...
u know once there was continuous dropping in trps...i think it just bcoz of the inconsistency in storyline...
u know...RM people dont even care about ASR's kidnapping...shyam did? how? where? how much khushi suffered? how they escaped?its so sad tat anjali is forgetting all those & blindly believing in shyam..so does tat mean arhi is wrong...
about dadi...the one who stayed away from RM 4 years...came back 4 shyam...not trusting grandson & not even trying 2 find the actual truth...wat man..??...
i mean i just agree with ur points specially the points which u said under the heading " wat we r missing"..&" wat r the looseends in the show"...coz tats all we want but atts wat disappearing when new tracks r coming...i really wish tat cvs'll complete & do justice 2 each track b4 starting new tracks...
awesome post dear...thnx 4 the pm😳

p.s: by the way ..i loved ur name "Nisha"...coz my name is "Tisha"😉
