16th Sept 2013 Arshad Khan - director of IPK1 for Danny-Kumari?
We received this news about Arshad Khan directing SC. With the current DV and other crazy tracks in progress, are the makers trying to add Danny-Kumari track ? Do they think it will buffer some of the negative reactions they have been receiving? An effort to save the crazy show.
If yes, then we have this couple competing for SaMud screen space, in addition to Pramad and Kalika.
Be prepared for Arshad Khan directed Danny-Kumari romance. These love birds will have 2 dushman's, Dukhba and Guman. Apart from helping Kumud, Saras will now have to help Danny-Kumari.
I rule out the romance between Saras-Kumud at this stage because Kumud is now a married woman.TRP aunties will never like that.
In my opinion- Kusum- Saras lack chemistry, based on the recent onscreen interactions between them. Kusum is a newcomer and has to improve her acting skills.
15th Sept 2013. Arshad Khan IPKKND1 director for Saraswatichandra 👏
We had discussed some time back reg. direction issues with this show Saraswatichandra. I have recently ( 2 weeks ago) started watching IPK1 and only wished we had Arshad Khan IPK1 director on board. I am keeping in mind only the positive aspects of the director.

Please find below certain sections of the link
"Arshad Khan. From Shh... Koi Hai to Saraswati Chandra, the journey comprises of series that perhaps puts him in the legion directors who create fabulous romantic moments on screen. Be it in Dil Mil Gaye, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, Qubool Hai, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon Ek Baar Phir or now you will see that happening in Saraswati Chandra.
We asked him one of the best sequences he has directed in Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon and he said, the Diwali sequence with diyas and the one near the pool, "the almost kiss", even though he has enjoyed shooting for the show in its entirety"
26th Aug 2013. Fix camera angle
Today's episode was such a drag, or I am beginning to have less interest in this show. The sasuma and dear daughter-in-law conversations, I did not hear, just fast forwarded. Can't put up with all the sugary dialogues, especially, when DIL is hiding info.
I continue to focus on my lead Saras.
Firstly, I just hate that they have the camera angle that makes Saras look really short compared to Pramad. At times, Pramad looks really tall compared to Saras and Kumud, and at times he does not look that tall. The makers have some explaining to do. The director is really stupid to not fix the camera angle. Why would they do this to the lead of our show? Pramad with his height and constant anger is really dominating my lead, who is in a terrible state and bound by lots of stupid "kasam's". I want the makers to get back the original Saras sooner. Today, the fab emotions of Saras were masked by his inability to really give back, unlike Pramad who is free to say whatever he wants. After ruining Kumud's character, are the writers after Saras now.
So far, Saras was being put down by words, however, today Saras being hit was really too much for me. I really want him to get out of the hideout, get over that stupid "Kasam " and really hit Pramad. I have had enough of this nonsense. I get it, Pramad is Malik and Saras is Naukar.
The character of Pramad is gaining predominance, and I refuse to put up with it. Are Kalika and Pramad best buddies with the writer and director?They seem to wear really good clothes, get lots of screen space, and are taking over the leads of my show Saras and Kumud.
The show is revolving at the same location and same characters ie. BD family and Mansion. I am feeling claustrophobic, and really need some fresh air outside the BD mansion. Saras needs the same. I hope the makers get my point.
21st Aug 2013- Please spare character "Saras"
Makers,
You have done this to Saraswatichandra before, however, today it appeared a bit weird. You showed Saras evesdropping and interrupting the conversation between BD and his wife, that they were having in their bedroom. You showed him evesdropping again, when the women of the family were having a conversation in the kitchen. All this appears a bit weird and does not suit the character of Saraswatichandra, who is a pretty sensible educated guy. You had earlier shown Guman in a similar manner, and it was Ok for her character. However, do not start showing Saraswatichandra popping up at all places and evesdropping.
Also, today his orange outfit was a bit odd, not at all suitable for the occasion. It appeared he was dressed to show off his physique to impress Kumud or Kusum, and this party was his opportunity to do so. May be some of you liked it, but for me it was not appropriate.
In addition, please pay more attention to Saras outfits. It was Ok to not show him well dressed earlier, since he was beaten up and was recovering from a heart break. However, now he is kind of Ok ( he wore that orange outfit). Pls continue showing him well dressed, he is the political advisor of BD party and now they treat him like his own son. Even, the housemaid Kalika is so well dressed compared to Saras.
23rd July 2013. Makers consider changes to SC ( to read discussions pls visit link below)

1. Can we reduce the crying of Kumud. It is getting painful to watch her cry so much for the past 2-3 weeks. Based on the precap- she will be crying again,tomorrow. Is there some other way to show her pain. Too much of crying can be a turnoff to some viewers.
2. Please pay more attention to her get up and sarees. Guman wore some really beautiful sarees, Kumud is married into a rich family and she can definately afford them. Make sure Kalika does not outshine Kumud when both are in a same shot. Yesterday, Kalika made her presence felt in that yellow-magenta outfit, compared to Kumud in that dark blue saree. We have to remember that Kalika is the housemaid and Kumud is the boss.
3. Kumuds's sasural looks too grand from outside. However, certain scenes are shot in such claustrophobic rooms. It is hard to believe that house has that kitchen, BD's office. Eg. The LNV house external and internal shots matched to some extent. Similarly, VC haveli internal and external shots match.
4. Saras dress, will also need some improvement.These days he is sick and kind of jobless, so his look is Ok. Later on, once he is the political advisor in full swing, please show him in some good suits occasionally and smartly dressed. Occasionally driving in some good sunglasses, won't hurt. Please get back our smart well dressed Saras sooner.
