Firstly, This is not a bashing post. It is just me writing down my expectations from IPK!

Edit: Being the sweetest friend that she is and a closet writer (apparently!), sayali_d23, wrote an OS based on my expectation of the date (Translation: to shut my rant). Please read and review and tell her that she should write even more!!!

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/iss-pyaar-ko-kya-naam-doon/3168602/the-date-that-could-have-been-our-take

Edit : Just for you information, there is another 4lions show called Suvreen Guggal being directed by Lalit Mohan. Ironically, the couple there is also on their first date and it was shown for 3 episodes. This includes before the date, girl getting ready for the date. Dressing, thinking what to talk, should she be ready for a kiss...etc etc., During the date: ride to the place, going to a carnival, some fun moments, wishing fountain, taking pics, the girl keeps anticipating a kiss! and After the date: Both of them are reliving the date! The entire episodes were shot around them.
Same production house...different takes ?

It is nice that so many people enjoyed yesterday's Episode. My question is : If the story had the following changes, would you have not preferred it ?

They could have shown it so much better and LONGER.
One of the things I had liked about the show, was the attention to details. May it be the dress, the surroundings, the dialogues, the mannerisms, everything. It used to be thoughtful and realistic. Logic is an essential part of any story, that I read or watch. I can't seem to find much of it in IPK these days. I have been to Italian restaurants, both outside India and in Mumbai. They are nothing like the shoddy establishment we got to see yesterday ! I have never once seen Kaalakhatta in the menu of any Italian eatery in India.

The HOTEL was so DRAB! Because the interior was purple, the black was looking even more dull. The hotel should have been at least off-white/silver/cream for their dresses to stand out! With a little bit of red thrown around for colour. Candles??? Wouldn't this make them both look good ?


Khushi's hairstyle: Like really ??? Instead of the Anarkali, how abt a Sexy black Saree with sleeveless blouse and open hair on one side. Are you telling me that it wouldn't have been better?



Would it have killed them to show Khushi asking ASR to take the lead and help her in understanding this new environment? Ask him what he would recommend for the main course instead of asking for kebabs? Would we not have loved it if she had said something like "I am really happy to see you being a part of my life and I would like to do the same. Become some one who you could be proud of. Will you help me?" Wouldn't ASR be more touched by her sincerity than her funny antics. They could have shown a mature discussion about alcohol. How something which is a sin in one culture is a part and parcel of another, but they still co-exist, just like the 2 of them?

After dinner, they could have shown them going on a drive.
Even trying to get comfy in the car. A sweet romantic song playing in the background during the drive?

Stopping to eat something silly-road side ice cream, or channe, since Khushi was not going to like the italian food, anyway! Him sending her off home. Parking the car at a cliff. Sitting on the hood of the car and looking at their parents. Discussing how happy they would have been ! SOMETHING ???



The entire wedding scenario would have been handled with more panacea! It is the wedding of the main leads dammit!!! Why is it not getting the main focus of the show. Why is it being treated as a side story to be wrapped up asap!

I loved the story up until the kidnapping tract. I had NO complaints about the story...AT ALL! It started going downhill for me after ASR returns. If they could stretch the story and romance during the pre-kidnapping tract, why not now ? During their actual wedding ? Why are the fast forwarding it ?


In the last couple of episodes, why are they not completing the scenes? Abruptly the scenes are ending. The continuation the next day is erratic to say the least! I don't even feel like watching new episodes anymore! Re-watching old episodes makes it worse! Because there is such a huge difference in the quality of the product. Then, even though they hated each other, their chemistry was sizzling. Now that they are in LOVE with each other...what pakaogiri they are showing !

I am really wrong in expecting the same quality from IPK that I have been used too ?

All I want to say is :

I am actually amazed that anyone who has seen the chemistry , the attention to detail in the first 6 months of the show...could actually LIKE yesterday's episode. I think a lot of the viewers here, including me ( ppl, PLEASE don't take this personally and start bashing me) are so used to watching arshi, it's more of an additction to like them...even now, when the magic is actually waning due to shoddy direction and story. How long can the leads keep this up on their own...honestly, they cant. I actually felt that Barun looked bored and half interested in yesterday's episode, and I don't blame him at all. What a waste of a good set up CVs .
