Hello All :),

So I thought I'd write a little something regarding the whole 'copying' accusation.

Hindi serials are like hindi movies. There are certain formulas that writers (creaters) use. The whole boss-worker thing, and the his brother marries her sister thing. The whole love-hate thing. It doesn't mean that anyone is copying the other. Its a standard equation that is brought into the mix in all modern-day serials.

The boss-worker thing was brought into the mix wayyy before KMH, in a little (award-winning, and multi-star cast) show called Kahiin To Hoga. It had such ppl as Rajeev Khandelwal, Aamna Shariff, Shabir Ahluwalia, Surveen Chawla, Eijaz Khan, and many many more. It was reallly good 😆

But yeah, Kashish worked for Sujal, and thats how they fell in love. Their relationship was always the love-hate type. This was the show that started this formula, not KMH. Just a little correction.

I just have to get his all out lol. The 'copying' nonsense is really annoying me.

Also, Kushi is hardly a copy of Geet. Other than the small-town girl thing (which EVERY show does b/c it is yet another standard formula), they have nothing in common. Kushi is loud in every way. When Geet started, the girl was afraid of her own shadow. And the only person she ever fought with was Maan. Kushi on the other hand...very outspoken. Both are little accident prone, but arent we all?? lol
Have you all, as intelligent women ever done or said anything completely off the wall? I'm guessing yes. Thats life. It doesn't mean you don't have a brain. Both are intelligent young girls---and yes, mistakes do happen. Thats how you learn. Atleast it is a little believable this way. I remember in earlier shows (like KTH) where a girl would get hired into executive positions right out of college...whattt??? lol

So yes, thats my rant. Please comment😃

And thank you for this! Seriously, the "copying" accusations were getting lame.

i understand that fans of other shows get angry when they think their show is being copied..its natural. but they have to understand that their show i.e. geet,etc) is "copied" off somewhere else too..

it happened to me too when i thought the vampire diaries was being copied by the CVs of PKYEK..but this time i think i was justified 😆 ..the CVs of PKYEK were copying entire, original storylines, because they thought no one watched TVD..they were wrong obviously (i love TVD). unlike this though, whatever is 'copied' in IPKKND is tried and tested various times before, in various other shows!

..and anyways in the end, every show has its own unique way of portraying the same storyline, and that's what's interesting 😃

(ps, sorry for going off topic..i REALLY love TVD 😆)

One small correction - KTH was a big Balaji show which proved that even 11 pm slot can give very high TRPs and the office romance got more focus in Jassi Jaisi Koi nahin hai.

KTH was not the first either, there were couple more before that. One with kunwaljeet , cant remember the name and antoher one 'kashish' with sudesh berry and malavika. it is all done that been there formulas being used in tv shows, and ultimately it is the trps that decide the fate of any show. Expecting that every scene should be unique will be little too much in this entertainment world. I watch so many Sitcoms , they all have so many similar scenes, lol.

lol I know...sorry i mistyped that. I meant to say "little". I was being sarcastic...or atleast trying to lol
And I agree, KTH kicked ass!! No show has been able to touch it. Rajeev and Aamna were brilliant 👏

I just realized how abrupt my post was ...😆. What can I say? Frustration gets the best of me. I never watched JJKNH, so I guess that missed me. To tell you all the truth--I love office romances. And I absolutely adore the love-hate angle--I never saw it done better than KTH. Sometimes you couldn't tell if it was the love keeping them together or the hate...it was all soo twisted up.

I know I digress :D, but I hope that 4 Lions portrays this love-hate relationship differently than Balaji did. Balaji always went off into obscurity and pursued really inconsistent story-lines. There are more ways to create drama than multiple marriages...
4 Lions seems to have ALOT more written integrity in their work. I have full faith that this story (despite its use of standard formulas :D), will be unique and very well written.

Oh yes, that's a guarantee of 4lions.. They make the leads separate, but with the right reasons. Maan and Geet separated in Geet for a short time, because she was a pregnant. Seems to be the right reason for a little separation, or they separate due to a logical reasoning.

also, they make sure that no matter what, leads will never marry other people. there is no multiple marriages, one marriage only and only of the leads..

they are very creative..👍🏼
