Comparing IPKKND to Madhubala

Here are a few possibilities. Read on and let us know if you agree:

#1. The daily soap has a very run of the mill story, with no originality. Looks like the writers are suffering a mental block. First they get Madhu engaged, and then make RK sabotage her relationship, post which Madhu asks RK for money, for which she has to marry him. OMG! Are the makers now following Ekta Kapoor's tried and tested patterns like in Kasauti Zindagi Kay and a few other soaps?

#2. A serious lack of romance between the lead pair is a huge issue. It seems the makers have truly lost track of their original story plan, no?

#3. The serial faces stiff competition from other prime time shows like Zee TV's Hitler Didi, Sony's newLove Marriage VS Arranged Marriage, Star Plus' popular Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai and Life OK's Amrit Manthan.

All said and done, we believe that if the makers don't pull up their socks right now, Madhubala will indeed meet an untimely end… don't you agree?

I never paid heed to the rumors about IPK ending because I was confident about its popularity. However, it now seems to me that I might have been a bit too overconfident. Perhaps it's high time that the writers of IPK sit together and do some serious brainstorming. The show has certainly lost its originality for me. Everything has become so predictable. In fact, I even read a post just the other day about how a forum member was able to predict every detail of an upcoming episode before it even aired. I don't think that's a very good sign. So comparing IPK's situation to Madhubala's plight means that the two could share the same fate.
