Friday November 30th '12
Fitting somehow ... that I will watch IPKKND's last episode at around the same time that I watched almost 395 earlier ones, give or take the few weeks I was travelling. A show I have watched from start to end, not missing a single episode - a first for me.
Am out for dinner ... will watch and post later tonight.
Quick edit ... watched very late ... will edit completely late on Sunday or Monday.
What do I say? An episode that was obviously rushed to meet an unexpected deadline. The disinterest of the PH shows again in the so-called "Finale" of a Mrs. India contest that has as an audience the family of one participant, the two judges who were also the selectors, the trainer and the MC in undetermined roles and no other audience whatsoever. The flashbacks of the Sheesh Mahal only served to underline the grandeur with which the soap started, and the level to which it fell. How the cv's rushed to meet the deadline showed in the way that Khushi was not with the family in any frame, her last few scenes probably all had to be shot separately within a crazy time span as soon as she returned from the UK. Similarly for her scenes with Arnav, which were probably shot before the trip ... except for that one scene, they were not in any frame together ... even in the last scene when she tells him how he is her biggest strength and is always with her. Today I felt her emotions did not come through as well as they usually do ... Barun was very flat almost all through. Probably because they were shooting to a tight deadline and hardly ever together ... both Sanaya and Barun are far better when shooting with each other, especially Barun.
I liked the flashbacks tracing their journey ...
I wonder how the PH would have shown Arnav's accident ... and Khushi's reaction ... this ending was supposed to complete their story, and yet it left me feeling incomplete. Again the channel interfering and not allowing the PH to do things the way they had planned, because of the overwhelming popularity of one actor, and the unreasonable demands of fans. Is that the story of the show?

Thank you God so much !!! for todays good edited blopper free episode and ofcourse a good beautiful ending.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gul and CVS for giving such beautiful pair , but hate you for ending it ...
shit can't believe that the show has come to an end... really going to miss these people both for on screen as well as off screen ...
Aaru,
DeleteI am goign to miss them ya!
And yes thank you to the entire Team IPK.
Dia,
Watching a show till the last shot a first for me though I never started from teh start but staying with it for so long..wou've laughed had someone told me last year!
very true Sandy..if someone had told me i would get addicted to a show..i would have thought they had lost it..
Deletethis team was magical together..they gave us amazing scenes..and i dont only mean Arnav and Khushi..but overall..
Thank you IPK team...for all the lovely memories..those will remain..and will not be replaced...
Who didn't cry?
ReplyDeleteThe perfect ending...sigh...and yet, we all cried.
Hats off to the creatives. They thought this up 2 weeks back andshot Barun's scenes perfectly.
Really, I salute this team!
Su am sure there wouldn't be a single soul who is invested in this show who had wet eyes ...
Deleteyes they had canned these scene well in advance hence was confident of a good ending.. no wonder SP pulled the plug so easily after SPL !!!
Su most of the todays scene was ending Arhi after the accident .. more so I like said saath nahi aayesaaz hai ... exactly what arnav had told khushi .. " I may not be physically with you but will always be there with you, Aranv aur Khushi Hamesha "
So it fit really well today ...
Aaru,
DeleteI loved the way they took us through a journey of IPK through Khushi's answers and then through a journey of Arhi via the fbs...
And the perfect ending- Arhi entering a new threshold with the Raizadas blessing them...how much more perfect can an ending be?
They were so BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
I am really proud of IPK today.
Su,
DeleteI know an ending which actually showed them stepping over a threshold to a new beginning.
Absolutely,
Deletethe way they started the FB ka silsila from the first scene of Sheesh Mahal and ended with the threshold one......
To quote Jerome K Jerome,
Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life
have our dear couple weathered storms or what!!!
Deletei dont think i will enjoy another show as much for a while at least!!
they just it so real for all of us naa!!
anita,
Deletei dont think i will enjoy another show for a while even with the same cast!
i know Krish... i tried watching MB & BV (mom watches them) but could not sit fr more than 5 minutes...
DeleteMB..in that episode had the hero trying to force the girl to drink water..i was like oh god!!
BV..its just too much i feel..no one can be that nice..(though my aunt says the girl in Sasural Simar Ka is much worse!!)...
with the same cast..i dont think that will happen anytime soon..
Every end has a new beginning hidden in it. As Arnav and Khushi step into a new beginning, the current show comes to an end. Wishing them a happily ever after forever and ever.
ReplyDeleteHAYYEEEEE!!!!
That last set of FBs...
Jab jo bura kaha uska koi mtalab nahi
Jab jo bura kiya uska kopi matlab nahi
Is pyaar main sahi aur galat ka koi matlab nahi
Bas is baat ka matlab hai ki maine humeshaa humeshaa tumse...
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
Rabba Ve :)
Sandy, now this is what I am going to miss the most ... you putting my thoughts in words , i just need to think and there it is ...
DeleteI just would have loved the if they had HR FB too but that was into the hate marriage which they both don't want to remember ...
and they ending it with Rabba Ve... just too good ... thank good we had enough ARHI scenes, although they were canned for the accident ending of ASR they so well fitted to ending of ever after , forever ... just tear eyed now ...
I missed diwali (payal) and holi in the fbs.
Deleteholi defn, i thot they wil end with diwali fb too... but thats alrite, i loved the mini fb of khushi's first ramp walk before her final walk... nice touch!
DeleteArrey I shall not gripe today.
DeleteWhat they gave I saw. If they had to fit it all, poora 1 hour episode lag jaata for all the FBS alone :)
Yep Aaru, they edited well - lot of even if I am not there I am always with you. But true for real life too today - they shall no longer be on my screen but they will always be with me.
and it ends... :( :( :(
ReplyDeleteNahi Ani,
DeleteAnd their story begins....again... :)
Ctrl-Alt-Del - Reboot!! Bas we will not see it. There is however an alternate world out there somewhere where she will always land in his arms, and they will keep smiling and laughing.
'an alternate world out there somewhere where she will always land in his arms, and they will keep smiling and laughing.':
DeleteHer SKD under the blanket- a world where only the two of them exist...haaye...
Arhi, you deserve this!
Some verses from a lovely song for their alternate world
Deletesune sune khwaabo mein jab tak tum na aaye the
khushiyaan thi sab auro ki, gham bhi saare paraaye the
apane se bhi chupaai thi dhadkan apane sine ki
hum ko jinaa padtha tha, khwaahish kab thi jine ki
ab jo aake tum ne humein jina sikhaa liyaa hai
chalo duniyaa nayi basaenge,
betaab dil tammanna yehi hain
Oh wow Rekhs,
DeleteThat is so hayyee and apt for ArHi
Rekha, that is beeutiful and perfect..(to ensure that i am not spamming, i'm giving other links in my comments)
Deleteadorable fan update of the SPL
http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3318734
finally it all comes to an end! i still can't believe it ended, dunno what i was expecting... but i have a goofy smile plastered on my face and yet tears welled up in my eyes! is this what you call a bitter sweet moment??
ReplyDeleteKrish,
Delete*hugs*
A bittersweet moment- the most perfect ending to a show which had the most perfect beginning. A perfect 360- a treat!
Tears of joy or sorrow? BOTH!
Krish,
DeleteI too had this wide ear to ear grin on my face. Now thats IPK for you - parting ways but not leaving you teary eyed but with a big wide smile. Khushi!!
The soul of the show.
Su,
When the show began Khushi had tears of sorrow, today she had tears of happiness as she began her life with her own identity - no longer dependent on the crutch of a name - Kumari Gupta or Singh Raizada. Just Khushi who was comfortable with all her surname.
Sandy,
DeleteHUGGGGS...
I meant tears of joy and sorrow in my eyes...you gave it an entirely different meaning. Hats off to you!
sandy, your words have magic in them :)
DeleteJeevan Se Bhari Teri Aankhen
ReplyDeleteMajboor Kare Jeene Ke Liye
Saagar Bhi Taraste Rahte Hain
Tere Roop Ka Ras Peene Ke Liye
Tasveer Banaye Kya Koi
Kya Koi Likhe Tujhpe Kavita
Rango Chhando Mein Samayegi
Kis Tarah Se Itnee Sundarta, Sundarta
Ek Dhadkan Hain Tu Dil Ke Liye
Ek Jaan Hain Tu Jeene Ke Liye
Madhuban Ki Sugandh Hain Saanson Mein
Baahon Mein Kamal Ki Komalta
Kirnon Ka Tej Hai Chehre Pe
Hirnon Ki Hai Tujh Mein Chanchalta, Chanchalta
Aanchal Ka Tere Hain Taar Bahut
Koi Shaakh Jigar Seene Ke Liye
For a story that began to tell us of the ASR who went to love Khushi its only fitting that this song should be a song from Arnav to Khushi.....
Its as much a song for Sanaya too!!The eternal Sunshine girl!!
Rote Hue Aate Hain Sab
DeleteHasta Hua Jo Jaayega
Woh Muqqadar Ka Sikandar
Jaane Man Kehlaayegaa
For all of us:
Is Mod se jaate hain
Kuch sust kadam rakhke
Kuch tez kadam raahein..
Alvida toh unhe karna hi tha
aaj nahi toh phir kabhi
Rukhsati toh unse leni hi thi
aaj nahi toh phir kabhi
Magar jaate jaate bhi woh hume hasaa gaye
Ankhon main nami ki bajaai
hothon par muskuraahat de gaye
beautiful Sandy,
DeletePehli Mohabbat Ka Ehsaas Hai Tu
Bujh Ke Jo Bujh Na Paai, Vo Pyaas Hai Tu
Tu Hi Meri Pehli Khwahish
Tu Hi Aakhri Hai
Tu Meri Zindagi Hai
Tu Meri Har Khushi Hai...
beautiful song rekhs,
DeleteFor a story that began to tell us of the ASR who went to love Khushi its only fitting that this song should be a song from Arnav to Khushi.....
just noticed that it was Arnav who said I love you they ended with Khushi saying it !!! a story staring with hate you ending with Love you !!!
here are song which
Kehte hain:
Khuda ne iss jahaan mein
Sabhi ke liye kisi na kisi ko hai banaaya
Har kisi ke liye
Tera milna hai uss rab ka ishaara
Maano mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye
Kuch toh hai tujh se raabta
Kuch toh hai tujh se raabta
Kaise hum jaane, hume kya pata
Kuch toh hai tujh se raabta
It was fate, the destiny that connected them, it was rab which played its games of hate and love, yet raabat was always was the one to bring them together !!! and that raabat is always there even when wouldn't be there.... hamesh !!!
and its this raabat with Arhi which has brought us together here ,
Yes aaru,
DeleteDia would definitely say....
Hum toh akele hi chale the, yaaron log judte gaye aur karwaan banta gaya..at R&R....
Twine,
DeleteRabbat with ArHi bringing us together - True!
continuing that song...
Faili thi siyaan raatein
Aaya tu subah leke
Bewajah si zindagi mein
Jeene ki wajah leke
Khoya tha samandaron mein
Tanha safina mera
Sahilon pe aaya hai tu
Jaane kis tarah leke
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kaise hum jaane humein kya pata
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Ab kya hai kehna
Humko hai rehna
Jannatein bhulaa ke
Teri baahon mein panaah leke
Meherbaani jaate jaate
Mujhpe kar gaya
Guzarata sa lamha ek
Daaman bhar gaya
Tera nazaara mila,
Roshan sitaara mila
Takdeer ka Jaise
koi Ishaara mila
Ruthi hui khwahishon se
Thodi si sulah leke
Aaya tu khamoshiyon mein
Baaton ki jirah leke
Khoya tha samandaron mein
Tanha safina mera
Sahilon pe aaya hai tu
Jaane kis tarah leke
DeleteWell, i have quoted male version earlier too but the geeta version is for Khusi...she was the shining bright star today with Arnav looking on proudly...
When i saw her relax after feeling Arnav's presence around her, this song just struck me....
Na Ye Chaand Hoga, Na Taare Rahenge
Magar Ham Hamesha, Tumhaare Rahenge
Na Ye Chaand Hoga...............
Nazar Dhoondhati Thi, Jise Pa Liya Hai
Ummeedon Ke Phoolon Se Daaman Bhara Hai
Ye Din Ham Ko, Sab Din Se Pyaare Rahenge
Na Ye Chaand Hoga...............
Kahun Kya Mere Dil Ka, Armaan Kya Hai
Tumhen Har Ghadi, Choomana Chaahata Hai
Kahaan Tak Bhala, Ji Ko Maare Rahenge
Na Ye Chaand Hoga...............
Sahaara Mile Jo, Tumhaari Hansi Ka
Bhula Denge Ham, Saara Gham Zindagi Ka
Tumhaare Liye Hain, Tumhaare Rahenge
Na Ye Chaand Hoga...............
Am going crazy today ...
DeleteIts been ages I have qouted some qoutes which lets me describe the essense of the story .. and Nicholas Sparks being my favourite come it comes to love stories ... here are few
“I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.” - Dear John , so well for todays episode ..
“Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song
“My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook - thats for Arnav Singh Raizada ...
“They didn’t agree on much. In fact, they didn’t agree on anything. They fought all the time and challenged each other ever day. But despite their differences, they had one important thing in common. They were crazy about each other.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
The real essense of ARHI
AND A FINAL ONE for me to make peace with the end !!!
“This is not a good-bye, my darling, this is a thank-you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.”
― Nicholas Sparks
oh my god!!!! aarthi i could hug you NOW!!!
Deleteyou quoted all my favorite books and that last one is from message in a bottle right???
i dint know you were a sparks fan, me too!! and each one of those quote are damn beautiful :)
DeleteMere humsafar mere humsafar
mere paas aa mere paas aa
Humein saath chalna hai umr bhar
mere paas aa mere paas aa
Humein saath chalna hai umr bhar
mere paas aa mere paas aa
Mere paas aa.......
Some of my fav quotes, ignore spelling mistakes, i'm typing from my notebook
Delete“All of a sudden this shooting star went by, and all I could think was that they were listening to us somehow.”
“Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.”
― Nicholas Sparks, At First Sight
“You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook (For BS)
“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
“We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook (ArHI, though and through)
“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever”
“You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook (Arnav, even if he neve believed in god)
“Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John ( i cant blv IPKKND couldn't go on forever)
“People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Rescue (I'm hoping to do this some day soon :))
Krish yes that one is from Message in a bottle. i am a crazy fan of sparks .. Now i have one more company.. During the MJHT Days me Dia and other friends in our group - we used to quote qoutes while analysing or writing our views about a scene or about the dailogues and its indepth meanings .. since then I have collection of these qoutes from various ppl and my all time favorite from sparks is
Delete“You always have a choice. It's just that some people make the wrong one.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Guardian
oh and another one although it fits today every well for us ..
“People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Rescue
and this last one for theIPK team !!
Delete“In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I'll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
i quoted The Rescue too... i dont read romance much... m more of a crime thriller and fantasy reader... sparks has a way of bringing romance minus all the fluff! i love all his books :)
Delete“Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song (my fav book and quote)
Krish / Aaru,
DeleteLagey raho!! I liked what I read of Sparks too - just 2 or 3 of his works.
Rekha,
DeleteRaat Ke Humsafar
Thak Ke Ghar Ko Chale
Jhoomti Gaa Rahi
Hai Subah Pyaar Ki
Pata nahi why but even this song seems relevant today
Naam gum jaayegaa
Chehraa yeh badal jaayega
Meri aawaaz hi pehchaan hai
Gar yaad rahe
SOMH,
DeleteI was just going to type the naam gum jayega.....
its Gulzar....
actually i always pay my homage to love with my all time No 1 song in my list....it can never ever be replaced for me..and so surprisingly it had to be answer to my best loved serial's question :
Pyar ko pyar hi rehno koi naam na do.....
Aaru and Krish...thanks for the quotes...Sparks is good :)
DeleteIn fact sandy the antaras of Naam gum jayega are just perfect becos it is an loop they talk about in the song.....
DeleteNaam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
Meri aawaaj hi pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe
Wakt ke sitam kam hasin nahi, aaj hain yahaa kal kahi nahi
Wakt ke pare agar mil gaye kahi, meri aawaaj hi.. ..
Jo gujar gayi, kal ki baat thi, umar to nahin yek raat thi
Raat kaa siraa agar fir mile kahi, meri aawaaj hi.. ..
Din dhale jahaa raat paas ho, Zindagi ki lau unchi kar chalo
Yaad aaye gar kabhi ji udaas ho, meri aawaaj hi.. ..
Its so beautiful....Gulzar's romanticism just shines thru in this song....and the tune makes it even more special
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM7Aob7-FQ4
Rekha,
DeleteWhen I was trolling the forum, saw a post from sunshine99 where she tried to anser the Qn and I quoted that song
I like the spin the foll lines give
Haath Se Chooke Ise Rishton Ka Ilzaam Na Do
Sirf Ehsaas Hai Ye Ruh Se Mehsoon Karo
Pyaar Ko Pyaar Hi Rehne Do Koi Naam Na Do
Naam gun jaayesga well..its like promises to meet again ...
Sandy,
DeleteHumne dekhi hain is sorta my life-blood......will u think i am crazy....i listen to that song every other day of my life....its a song i can't do without...i can never tire of listening to it....there is some ruhaniyat in that song....
Aaj DCH ke mood mein ek dialogue IPK/ARHI ke naam
ReplyDelete"Perfection ko improve karna mushkil hota hain"
ARHI perfect ending!!
Rekha,
Delete:D :D
Bole toh - jhakaas!
so much hidden meanings in today's dialogue!
ReplyDelete"main hamesha rahoonga tumhare sath...mehsoos kar sakte hain"
"aap ka agar ye last day hota toh aap kya karti?"
the answer summed up apni fiery klutzy pagal sweet khushi so well... :')
and of course... the many milestones of the one n half year journey of Arnav-Khushi shown in one final Rabba Vey...
Misha,
DeleteHidden meanings, nuances, subtlety - hallmarks of the IPK we all fell in love with. That is why wheneevr it showed signs of getting in our faces, we rebelled.
This onscreen couple was such that they could have kept on showing us their story and we may have kept on following them for a long time to come. All they had to do was throw in thodi si takraar, dher saara pyaar, some KMH from the family and one Rabba Vey :)
This show was in Rekha's words Destiny's Child. Everything came together just right.

Krish,
DeleteNice!
"Betaab Dil Hai Dhadkanon ki kasam
Na reh sakenge ab judaa hoke hum
Waada karo tum jaane se pehle
Waada karo tum jaane se pehle
Phir Milenge Sanam!"
Na Kaho Alvida, Kaho Phir Milenge :)
sandy, why fear when you tube is here :)
Deletei cant blv it, of all days, today had to be the day when my net connection is down. for the first time i lost a big post :(
i have..ahem..downloaded most of the episodes *sheepish grin*
DeleteAni,
DeleteI am thinking if I should do the same too ;)
Sandy i totally recommend it..very useful when withdrawal symptoms strike or you just want some Arnav and Khushi... :)
DeleteSandy..took a deep breath..and rebooted!!!
ReplyDeletethe episode had me smiling through my tears..oohh those flashbacks...
i loved loved loved Khushi telling ASR that he is her strength..they are hamesha...
am very glad to have been through this journey...the memories will always be there with me...
the last freeze...could not have been better!!!
Ani
Deleteexactly, why worry about what could have been when there the what has been is such a beautiful memory.
It was a beautiful end..honestly I was not expecting such flawless editing. SI and the family absolutely nailed it. Somewhere I felt bad for BS that if he ever was attached to the show he will feel really bad... for not giving the last shot...talk about karma!
ReplyDeleteAll in all a beautiful end. I have been a silent reader mostly, but have enjoyed all the discussions.
Praying for SI to get a powerful role soon..she is a bundle of talent!
Finally, Thanks Dia for this forum
Sukhi
Sukhi,
DeleteKeep dropping by and maybe we all will again find that one story that will bind us all again :)
"Innocence" by avril lavigne
ReplyDeleteWaking up I see that everything is OK
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
[Chorus]
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
[Chorus]
It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliant
Makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliance
Please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJiECh6UwhQ
the perfect ending. finally khushi found her place!! and its so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry :)
i'm on a song spree today... do tell me if its too boring... i'll try to find some hindi songs, but i'm no good with it.. may be i'll try some tamil ones!
Music has no language barriers.....bring it on baby!!krish....
DeleteKrish,
DeleteTamil will be fun tho youtube links will help the ones who dont understand the language :)
But yeah whatever the language music is music.
AND THE SONGS BEGIN!! YYYAAAAYYYY....
ReplyDeletesorry for the caps..am just happy to see so many songs being dedicated...
Awww... :D:D:D
ReplyDeleteSu - i did not cry- i was grining!!! even though i was all ready to cry - i cried at the sbs and the sbb and teh umeetc etc but today i was all smiles!!
DeleteSandy - exactly - me too - cont+alt+del = rewind to episode 1 - will rewatch teh entire serial again!
Krish - mentally i added the first saree (calendar shoot), diwali, nanitaal, shots, bangles by the poolside, Teri meri!, holi, HR, the i love you, the i am sorry, the run to him hug, the 'tumhari naak laal...' to it
i also added the fights - GH, the resignation, the finding out about the engagement, the 'tip samajh kay', the first wedding, the throwing her out and pacing the room like a wounded animal, the airport - but those i then deleted -coz it had to be a happy ending - if these guys had been given a proper ME, am sure we would have seen the best episode with all FBs in place

ReplyDeleteSong dedication to IPK:
ReplyDelete1.
From Raizadas to Khushi.
ek dusre se karte hain pyar hum
ek dusre ke liye bekarar hum
ek dusre ke vaaste marna pade to
hain taiyar hum hain taiyar hum
ek dusre se karte hain pyar hum
ek dusre ke liye bekarar hum
ek dusre ke vaaste marna pade to

hum sab hain taale tu sabki chaabi
hum sab hain taale tu sabki chaabi
humse na rutho maan jao
maan jao o bhabhi
2. For Arhi- one of my old favourites.
Tu jo mere sur mein -2
Sur mila le, sang gaa le
To zindagi ho jaaye safal
Tu jo mere man ka -2
Ghar bana le, man laga le
To bandagi ho jaaye safal
Tu jo mere sur mein…
Chaandni raato mein, haath liye haatho mein
Chaandni raato mein, haath liye haatho mein
Doobe rahe ek doosre ki, ras bhari baato mein
Tu jo mere sang men -2
Muskura le, gunguna le
To zindagi ho jaaye safal
Tu jo mere man ka...
Tu jo mere sur mein...
Kyu ham bahaaro se, khushiya udhaar le
kyu ham bahaaro se, khushiya udhaar le
Kyu na milke ham khud hi apna jeewan sudhaar le
Tu jo mere path mein -2
Deep jalaale ho ujaale
To bandagi ho jaaye safal
Tu jo mere sur men -2
Sur mila le, sang gaa le
To zindagi ho jaaye safal

3. Song 2 brought me this gem: from Arnav to Khushi: (only in his most romantic mushy mood, when he will forget he is an atheist!)

Do listen to 2 and 3.
Su,
DeleteThe yesudas songs are so beautiful.....
as far as the tumhe dekhkar jag wale...i had forgotten te tune...so i had hear it again.....even with his southie accent, his purity of his voice just means so much and lifts the song to a diff level
Thank you for the songs...listening to them now...
DeleteRekh,
DeleteI know. Yesudas has won the maximum no: of national awards for best singer with 5 silvere lotuses.
SP comes close with 6.
I love them both.
I heard someone said this about Yesudas. Sometime in future they will invent these gadgets which can catch sound waves from the beginning of time. (Apparently these sound waves never die or something according to NASA) So 200 years from now, they will hear Yesudas' voice and will be amazed that there existed a golden voice like this! (LOL. I bet there are lots of singers who fit that category, just a cute quote I remember.)
And these songs are dedicated to you since I managed to irk the SRK fan in you.
LOL. I have successfully irritated one Aamir fan and one SRK fan in two days.
Any Sallu fans out there, other than Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada?
Ani,
I hope you enjoyed the songs. *hugs*
Oops, KJ won 7 lotuses.
DeleteSu
Deleteyou are the eternal sunshine girl on the blog I feel :)
Thank u for the yesudas nos. His voice is something indeed!
P.S: You are an IPK di-wani samjhi tum ;)
Su,
DeleteDid u call me a SRK fan?.just for the record i can't call myself a fan of SRK ...atleast for his work in the movies .Yes, I loved his DDLJ, Badshaah, Kabhie Haan Kabhi Na, Swades, Chak De....but thats abot it.......never cared for any of his other movies but that does not stop me from accepting he has that something that keeps the scores and scores of people in thrall for such a long time....also he has a sharp mind and a wicked sense of humour....
for all the yesudoss fans, listen tot this. this is my fav yesudoss song!!

Flower, red flower, your fragrance emanates
In front of my house, in your flower garden
Your voice is like a flute
You are an inflorescent missive

You are the one who walks, I am your shadow
Your relationship continues, an unwavering bond.
Even the sea and the sky change colour
But a heartfelt affection can never falter
I live my life for you
You are the honey that pours into my heart all day.
Music always brings joy;
Your voice is like a flute
You are an inflorescent missive

Just like you, I am a child too
I am the baby bird that the bees love
You are the woman who wears flowers in her hair everyday
You are the puppet in the hands of fate
The sins I have committed die with me
If I can watch you live a full life, that will be enough for me
Everyday, always, will be joyous
Your voice is like a flute
You are an inflorescent missive
Aiyyyooo Krish!!!

Suits Arnav's feelings for Khushi thruout their journey nai?

Delete"nizhal poala naanum nadai poada neeyum

i'll be your shadow for as long as you walk. you and me share a bond that will go on to stay for ever. the sky and seas may change their colour, but the our love for each other will never change its colour.
"naan seydha paavam ennoadu poagum

let the sins of my life be done with me, all i want to see is you living happily.

Krish,
DeleteLooking at the verse again, the sentiments sounds so similar to Pyaar hua ikraar nahi
"Kaho humaare pyaar ka geet na badlegaa kabhi
Tum bhi kaho is raah ka meet na badlegaa kabhi"
"Raatein dason dishaaon kahengi apni kahaaniyaan
Geet humaare pyaar ki dohraayengi jawaaniyaan
Main na rahoongi
Tum na rahoge
Phir bhi rahengi nishaaniyaan.."
Ever since biraj quoted this song its on loop in my head.
And poove sempoove krish - it was picturized on Radha Ravi - I loved to hate that man ;)
Krish,
Delete"i'll be your shadow for as long as you walk. you and me share a bond that will go on to stay for ever. the sky and seas may change their colour, but the our love for each other will never change its colour."
beautiful
Humeshaa...
would you believe me if i said i have never watched the visuals of this song... i saw the video only before i quoted this song. i dint even know it was on radha ravi or the context of this song in the movie... i had imagined a story behind the song and never sought to find out the real story...
Deletethis is my all time fav which i listen to almost every week at least once...
Krish,
DeleteI could. There are lots of songs I have seen only much later after I fell in love with them.

In the furrows of my eyes,your memories play hide and seek
In the very air I breathe, your memories are mingled
Memories like the rain, memories like the umbrella against the rain
Memories that light the passion, memories that cool like calming love
This song is from unnidathil Ennai Koduthen sung by Hariharan. I brought the VCD because I wanted the song and could not find the CD :S
Poove sempoove and this one have actor kaarthik in common :P
Oh Krish,
Deleteeven i love the poove sempove song and have never bothered to see the visuals of that song......
I also like Vagai Karai Katrai song....never cared about the picturisation ever....
Another song i listen to very regularly is Koi gaata main so jata from the movie Alaap again a Yesudas number....in fact it my fav Yesu Hindi number
Rekha,
Delete2 of my all time fav Yesudas nos are from malayalam movies
1. Ramakatha gaanalayam - Bharatham
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2U_HdZDdY0
2. Devasabaathalam - His Highness Abdullah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a7PI6jXD74
Music lovers both have a terrific climax
P.S: Su you really get the bak bak going babe :)
Sandy,
DeleteThe prelude to this song Devasabaathalam is just out of the world......and the entire duel....beautiful.....mohanlal in that role was just outstanding!!when u think of an actor who does effortless acting...really don't to think before bringing up his name.....
Su.....I listen to Yesudas classial songs often....his kacheri songs....so glad to meet so many yesudas fans here..thank u for bringing that up....
Rekha,
DeleteAll thanks to my buddy who hooked me up to these and life was never teh same.
Devasabaathalam - yes bcos the entire song is an unfolding of teh sapt sur and beautifully showcased with diff ragas with the end stating it all
Anandam Anthaanandam Jaagadaanadam Sangeetham!
If you liked these check out the songs from Aaran Thamburan (6th zamindar) esp harimuraliravam. Picturization is not so great but the song is soulful.
In the Bharatham song is poignant bcos the character who is singing has just coem to know his older bro is dead but he has to pretend all is well so that teh sister's wedding goes off well for it had already broken once before and she may not have been able to take another. Only him and his fiance know.
Aaran Thampuran, love it just for the music...esp harimraliravam the movie, i did not care for much except the manju warrier and mohanlal parts..
Deleteok one more loop closed today - if the story had continued - ASR would have died - they had shot all this before - all these "Agar aap nahi hotay.." type dialogues!
ReplyDeleteAm so glad they edited out the 'hand flying to cheek' gesture - seems so fake and done to death by all winners! - but how could they not edit it out - this is IPK - its different!! :D (please note i refuse to use the word 'was' - that's the beauty of the net - Arhi will live on forever!)
Only grudge - the team could have shown the rest of the people in the crowning frame - just to add on to the feeling of an audience and in a way say Goodbye from the team!
Monu,
DeleteI shall admit ever since they got married, I was waiting for destiny to separate them on some context - nothing flippant but yes a judaai till they met again. The female RV.
But when I heard death that too before Khushi's eyes, my first thot was DM would not be so cruel to her. But wait would she also not stop breathing the instant she saw him go away from her or would he be in a coma and hope remained and the day the hope died, she would stop breathing?
Perhaps a supposed crash, some personal effects and a Khushi who sensed him through it all.
He eventually came back / revived and the story ended.
But a cold fear gripped me too thinking what if they did not bring him back. My heart rebelled that Khushi should again have to bear the brunt of separation while she held her hopes high.
So today I was happy for I saw Khushi who set out to prove herself and in the process once aagin realized how much she was loved, how central she was to this family, how integral she was to Arnav's life and how much he loved her. She voiced her love and professed it was what gave her courage and accepted that he and his love had always been her strength.
One night she had asked him aakhir kis cheez ka matlab hai and today she told him what mattered to her the most, always had - their love.
It was in that hallway that they said to each other Khushi, main aur tum - hume pata hai humeshaa na, Always!
Oh and Monu,
DeleteI realized that I got my shiddat that when this post wedding phase of the story evolves there will be a time when Khushi will relaize that her journey with her laad governor was one of love always from the start and he will have a true love story to tell - that last scene of them and the FBs that is what it was wasn't it?
on day one, all she knew was hate but today she finally realised the hate was all but a mask. a mask which she had to uncover. and when she did uncover the mask, all she found was pure, unadulterated love. she is finally at peace, found her place in the arms of the one who she loves and who loves her back too! they have a truly amazing love story to tel their grand children.... SKD much??!!!
DeleteKrish,
Deleteuncovering the mask to find unadulterated love - hayyee!!
I dont know of them but I sure have one more fairy tale for my kids ..Once upon a time there live a boy and girl named Arnav and Khushi...and they lived happily ever after
My very own Desi Disney prince and princess.
My very own Desi Disney prince and princess. yeah!!
Deleteand you have videos to show that it was all real once upon a time!!!

Deletekilling me softly....
and when khushi said, "Aap humare zindagi ki ek ahem hissa ho"
Deletei mentally added arnav's reply "Aur tum khushi, tum meri zindagi ho"

DeleteHey here Sanaya's interview with Telly buzz on the last day ..
ReplyDeleteNow I love this girl even more ... Sobti , if u ever ever need a PR heir Sanaya, and mean it ... u are too softie in that department..
hi5 Aaru,
DeleteI said the same thing yesterday!
San should be his PR.
Or better still, he should just stick around her and become her raakhi bro (and do more shows with her).
Acc to Aamir Khan's nayee soch ki TALAASH, brothers should tie raakhi on their sisters and demand that they should be protected too.
Or Barun can easily get it done by San for free in exchange for all the stale food she made him eat! Oh, I am going to miss this pair. But I am glad it ended like this.

DeleteWhen it comes to Tamil songs and love there is one which has a special place in my heart. Powerful vocals, simple chords in the bg, and a rising tempo that reaches a crescendo much like the waves that crash against the fortress wall used while filming the song.
That too was a diffiicult love that was tested and tried yet it triumphed :)

This song though speaks of separation for the sake of the lover, speaks of eternal hope that the lover shall return and love shall triumph. That the choice of an ending or a beginning is in the lovers' hands
this is an evergreen song, the lyrics, the music and add to it the beautifully nuanced singing of hariharan and chitra... what a soulful song! thnaks for reminding this one sandy :)
Deletejust watched the first episode of QH - am trying yo figure out - who talks like that - everyone's accent is so affected - its like everyone is a mami here - every has an exaggerated speech - like makeupya ka touchapya!
ReplyDeleteso this PH has to have a song in the first episode?
does someone see this? - please tell me if i should even bother - don't like the actors - and why the hell does teh girl run around with a tikka (posed as a jhumar!) even though she has a huge bag to keep her Jewellry safe!
Deletei was not impressed with it Monu so stopped...guess Opti can convince you :)
DeleteIt is me and J, I think we are the only ones enjoying QH.
DeleteThe first few epis were rubbish, don't watch them.
I remembered you, Mona while I watched QH 2 days back.
I thought Mona should so not watch it ...they had a song picturised on Zindagee ki yahi reet hai...even I didn't like that song there and wondered if Gul has really gone bonkers!
Apart from that...you should try it and see for yourself.
Try this for the characters:

and this for written updates.
http://www.desitvbox.com/qubool-hai-29th-november-2012-written-update/
Yesterday's episode of QH was one of the worse ever. The trip and fall of the leads was such a dampner and the monologues by them on their beds was even worse. Even KSG was so off colour. Actually the screen play had a lot of potential but they messed up in all other departments - the location (so artificial), the dialogues, the acting and the direction. what should have been a magical moment between the leads was just meh...
DeleteI agree with Mona. The show has a more theatrical feel (with exaggerated dialogue delivery and expressions) it just fails to tug at one's heart strings. I read Gul is directing this one. She should stick to production and work on her flaws there rather than do direction. She clearly falls short.
Oh sorry Su..thought that was Opti..so u recommend the show??
Deletejust caught up with the episodes
DeleteMy take on QH...
I have finally figured out what is wrong with Gul Khan – she cant ADD!!!! – so the hero’s (Asad) parents got married 31 years ago – have been separated for 17 therefore were together for 14! He being the eldest, am assuming the hero is 30. His brother has completed college –assuming they are only referring to BA – he should be around 20/21 years. Therefore Asad’s Dad (AD) had both wives for a while – either he kept it hidden for a few years or both were ok with it – then why did he leave wife no 1? If both wives weren’t together, then how did the younger brother grow up holding on to elder brother? – unless there is some other background – GK is def not doing very good math!!
What I could not stand:
- Allah Miyan!!! What is wrong with this girl – she does not talk she shrieks!! And she is rude and careless and not at all respecting of the fact that someone has kept her as a guest – she throws food on the floor and is downright rude. You don’t have to fight with everyone to get your point across. Sorry Su – did not think she was intelligent - she is roaming around a city with an old burnt photo – does not have the brains to get the pic restored, enlarged and copied so that it tells her more – Does not have the brains to ask the right people, her hosts, the police, museums (she could come up with any excuse) but asks random people on the streets. She was sweet to notice dilshad was sad and baked a cake for her but left the kitchen in a mess for Dilshad to clean – that I found inexcusable!! (and I don’t compare her to KKG simply coz she is a bad actress and no way comparable to the SI. KKG would also stand up for others but never without finding out what the person had done wrong – here the heroine is helping the dad without even asking him why his wife is angry with him!)
- Don’t know why the father has been portrayed as a ‘bechar’ who is suffering and missing his family – he lives fairly happily for 17 years – was busy producing more kids and Now he is he is all “oh I made a mistake” and I have suffered for so long – apparently he did not even ask for his kids, provide for tehm for 17 years and now has the audacity to cheat wife no 2 – (and he is being assisted by the heroine) – the spineless two timing creep!!!
- And an uncle out of the movies – he enters – coughs and all women become erect and fidget with their dupattas!!
Positive:
- The scene about going to the lounge “Good to go to a new place but come back before 8:00” – have heard stuff like this before :D
- Very good characterization of the male leads – Elder brother – Loved his relationship with his mom – the way he talks to her their conversations, liked that despite his anger he let her decide if she wanted to meet her ex, says sorry only for her – also Love that the guy is a neatness freak !! yippee – might actually have some ‘clean sets’ till the end! – his flaw is that he is too stuck up on jeans (really?? Everyone wears jeans – short tight revealing tops, shorts are a problem – not jeans for sure!) - And i think he is becoming rudder by teh day to make the heroine look good!
Younger brother – very caring of the family, sisters but a bad bad actor! (how I wish Akash had such a clear cut role!)
- Grand sets (but am so jealous – why do they get this and IPK does not!)
- The mothers – one silly, sweet, simple and very attached to her kids the other – the perfect strong woman – don’t know the actor but wife no 2 (if she really is not that dumb) is doing a very good job – she and the hero are the only two bearable actors
- Diction better than I expected – no where near perfect – but better than I expected!
Monu, J, Su, Opti and all u guys watching QH
DeleteKeep your eyes peeled for all the blog shiddats and scenes turning up ok.
Bromance seems to be in the air already. Shwethu would have been thrilled to see it happen in IPK.
Monu,
ReplyDeleteI was seeing some of the earlier scenes recently and trust me even though I know what happens, I can sit and happily fall in love all over again.
And yeah agree with you - had they had to fit all the FBs a whole ME could have been delivered on just that :)
I watched the show again..heart is still heavy but there is also a sense of peace settling in...
ReplyDeletei was thinking there was no show before on TV that had so many people hooked..even through the bad times...
this show has given me amazing on-screen moments and equally amazing off-screen ones..every time i watched the gang have fun..i had fun along with them..
and i also found so many like minded people, made new friends...some of whom i have met..some i may not meet but will still stay in touch (as long as this blog is there!!).. just like they did while giving us good scenes...
isn't it amazing that a TV show has actually brought people closer..and both in the real world!!!
Thank You IPK for the memories..both reel and real...
ditto anita.. i watched it again too. and this time i had only smiles :) a big wide goofy smile.
Deletei would like to take this moment to say thank you to all of you here. IPK was no doubt a phenomenal show, but it wouldn't have been the same without you all.
everytime khushi goes OTT, i can feel Dia having a major head desk moment.
everytime i see a radhe krishna idol or painting, i can feel su dying to discuss it to no ends. trust me, if not for su, i wouldnt have even noticed those paintings.
everytime shyam abused khushi, i knew opti will be there to raise the issue.
everytime the stained carpet made an entry, i know mona would complain.
if their was a wardrobe malfunction, gargi would never fail to point it out
and whenever akash gets a dialogue i would do a mental fist pump for shwetha! on the other hand whenever BS failed to have his hair cut (almost always, towards the end) i used to thing, man thu to aaj gaya.
and if by any chance i catch a blooper, i would wonder Jaya must be going mad with all the bloopers.
eveytime i dont understand the significance of some scene, i'll always find sandy with a beautiful version of how it all connects.
and uj was there always to bring out the symbolism in seemingly random scenes
everytime i felt the cvs didnt deliver, mads would have beat me in ranting about the same.
and everytime something amazing was delivered, rekha would have made it even more magical with all of her song dedications.
add to all of this various povs of anita, geetanjali, aarthi, ayesha, aki.... the list goes on. i remember the days we had almost 60 comments even before dia made her quick edit. i cant believe i made so many friends, half of whom i dont even know the names. but i'm glad i found you all. before i came here, life seemed like a speeding train, it looked like before i could grasp at something, it flew past me. but when ever i came to R&R i felt grounded. life stil is going at a break-neck speed, but i know i can always come here for some sort of comfort. thanks for that! i would forever be grateful for this virtual cafe and all the friends i made here :)
Krish,
DeleteYou summed us up neatly.
BTW, thanks for not calling me 'di-wani'- that was one thing I dreaded through the Anji track. LOL.
*hugs* I nominate you for the best post of the day.
I agree

Su,
U r not "di-wani" becos of Anji .but u r IPK diwani as Sandy called u!!
God, how we must have troubled all the others on R&R during the Di puran....with our constant to and fro....when i look back, i was thoroughly confused on what i began the discussion with and what i ended up with....total trauma...well all for nothing,at the end of it...LOL...just a burnt carpet and even that was not replaced
aawww Krish you got it!! after R & R..i would watch an episode and think how Dia would edit it and how the ladies would react :)

oh and su, spl double hugs for the nomination!
DeleteHello ladies.
ReplyDeleteThe episode hasn't aired yet but I have read your post above and even before I watch I feel really sad that this is the end. Still can't seem to get this into my head.
Dia, I have loved all of your edits. You would always make whatever came on screen a little richer for me. Thank you for that.
Everyone here brings a little something to this virtual cafe whether it be noticing the blooper, or commenting on Khushie's awful dresses. I am so pleased I have been part of this experience and look forward to more discussions. on other topics.
I will not be around next week, I have to fly out to the UK tomorrow, but when I return I will read all your posts.
I would like say that my favourite moment is when Khushi and Payal arrive at the temple after Khushi faints and she is persuaded to stay and Arnav and Khushi can't help but keep glancing at each other. Blossoming romance. Loved it. That is what got be hooked.
Hope to see you all soon

Look out for the Writer's Note!
Dia,
ReplyDeleteWill wait for the full edit later. There is a hangover of gloom due to the incidents of the recent past but watch it without any of it running through your mind. Yes they were not together for the most bit but in that last scene, that one last memory, it is their 2 smiling faces and they were indeed together when it was taken, infact they were all together then.
Their story will always feel incomplete because there were so many shades that were yet to be discovered. They were individually good but together they were a powerhouse (as you have said too..) what would have been and how it would have been I have wondered too but again I ask you don't think of all that happened outside, just focus on their ajeeb duniya - blooper ridden, poorly "production valued", massively monitored all inclusive yet it is their duniya. One we have loved, fought and cried over.
It has been a memorable journey and perhaps the destination leaves us empty because there is more travel in store for Arnav and Khushi - yahaan na sahi kisi aur duniya main.

O but what a journey it has been!
"It has been a memorable journey and perhaps the destination leaves us empty because there is more travel in store for Arnav and Khushi - yahaan na sahi kisi aur duniya main." super like!!
DeleteThank you Sandy, Rekha
ReplyDeleteIPK has ended but special friendships go on forever.
To all the wonderful people who come visit, let's meet again soon.
Lin
:( Sad that it came to this - Watched this week's episodes after learning that it was stopping..
ReplyDeleteHowever, they did a good job ending the story on a high note and a decent final episode thanks to some great FBs and creative editing :)
Wished they could have ended with Khushi doing her victory walk and falling into ASR's arms like the first time..but hey atleast they ended with the scene after "itni bhi chot nahi lagi ki apni biwi ko utha na saku" - I think it was Dia who said that would have been a perfect end of the show shot :)
Thank you IPK for giving some great times for a year and half - before you lost your way and lost me - but this was the first show I got addicted to at that level -All thanks to Sanaya - and watching Sanaya's interview yesterday, I was mad - PH , Channel whaever jhamela they had - there is no excuse for treating their team that way and pulling the rug at such short notice- do they not have any contract limitations of minimum notice period ? Lots of lessons for the channel, Production house and actors to learn.. And it was deplorable they made BS the scapegoat for their incompetence. If BS wanted to leave and he had given them ample notice, how can they put out a banner saying he is leaving so we are stopping ...I am sure you girls have already ranted on this to death...
Thank you Sanaya and Barun, and the whole cast and crew - wishing you all the very best and hope to see you all soon on screen in different show :)
Sanaya - next time pick a production house that actually promotes/lobbies for you at the awards - it is is atrocious that you did not win an award for this role- you deserve better girl :)
Rekha,
Jeevan se bhari - Khushi ke liye perfect that - she was the soulful siren, she was the magnet that drew me in :)
Dia and girls,
Thank you for making the IPK experience even more special for the time I was regular:)
Khushi ki tarah muskurate rahen, Devi Maiyya sab ki raksha karengi :)
Srisri,
DeleteHuggs - good to see you here as we wish our ArHi a happily ever after!
When that epi aired from which that last shot was taken today I had quoted from Ever After - Desire.Defy.Escape!
And that is eactly what Arnav and Khushi seem to have done throughout this journey.
As for happily ever after for us, it is more important that they lived and we all lived it with them I think :)
Hugs back Sandy :)
DeleteYeah I remember your Desire, Defy, Escape quote - sums it up nicely ..
Glad they stuck with the happy ending - so that the SKD remains intact for us who got so attached to the characters ..:)
It was shot of romanticism at the end of the work day, an escape from AD for all of us ..and a beautiful escape while it lasted...:)
Srisri,
ReplyDeleteYou took the words out of my mouth....
All I can think of is Grace Under Pressure and how Sanaya has emerged through this whole phase as the one who is full of this ability to hold it together ...Like Khushi herself, she held it together right till the very end and did it so beautifully.....I pray for this girl...she deserves to grow from strength to strength....she is truly DM's child!
Integrity - I admire Barun's honesty...he wanted to pursue other opportunities and he behaved like a professional. He turned in his notice and has moved on. I wish him luck in whatever he chooses to do. Both BS and SI have been class acts in the way they performed their roles, what they delivered as Arnav and Khushi in spite of the poor story line and shoddy production values. It is due to them that I stayed riveted to this show.
The PH has shown a lack of Integrity in their handling of the story, the cast and the events surrounding Barun's departure. Having created this amazing story, the PH lacked the honesty to be true to the characters and the story. Had they been honest, the leads would not have had to carry the entire burden, there would have been viable parallel tracks, the other actors would not have been idle, this would have allowed the leads to take some reasonable time off. Or it was an inability to sell their vision to the network. Either way, they have a lot of soul-searching and growing up to do. A way to differentiate themselves from the Ekta-style of serials, would be to come up with tight story-lines and wrap up the narrative within 18 months. Actors leaving serials are so common-place...that is Life. This situation was different due to the amazing popularity of the leads, but again the PH and the channel seem to have underestimated the popularity of its lead actors; which brings me to the lack on integrity on the part of the network in managing this whole situation. After having said that the character is larger than the actor, they used BS and SI to sell tickets for their event in Birmingham and then decide to pull the plug on the show. The ticker message saying that Barun was leaving to pursue films was a cheap trick and in plain bad taste.
This is why I say that SI and BS have conducted themselves admirably....Devi Maiyya, inka raksha karna!
Love you all....Dia...IPK was made more special by this blog...this is what made it memorable for me...I still go back and watch episodes and read your posts! I have already started watching from the beginning again! Need to see ODC on a regular basis!
Harini,
DeleteA decent aritcle seeing the recent frenzy rising ones echoing our thoughts on the 'mismanagement' - http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Television/Indian-television-discovers-the-crazy-power-of-fandom/Article1-966636.aspx
Harini,
DeleteAbsolutely :) The leads have been exemplary in their behavior...
I am just hoping all this controversy and mudslinging does not mess up Sanaya and Barun's AD and they get good roles...
My SKD for Sanaya - some PH should cash in on the the opportunity - snap her and some of the supporting cast up right now and announce a new show and capitalise on all this publicity :) Strike while the iron is hot:)
Sri,
DeleteI would love for teh snapping up bit but given this storm is yet to settle perhaps a new show a bit later (by early mid next year) makes sense else the recently ended characters are too fresh and comparisons and unwanted disappointments would be inevitable.
Sandy,
DeleteActually would like to see a new show start with Sanaya and Viraf - just to see how the fans deal with it :)
okay, i had missed the final episode, and am seeing it now..
ReplyDeleteone question
natasha's dialogues.. were they gul's explanation? from the way she was uncomfortable in traditional garb, to the way she walked out in modern attire and declared that 'this is what i am" and thinking back, she made a dress of rose flowers.. and was declared out of time by the judges..
and she was so confident about winning at the beginning, yet she lost at the end... was her husband SP or Fans?? she
Deletefor gul it was always about ASR, but towards the end she credited Khushi...
Jaya/Krish,
DeleteNice interpretation - if she understands that she ran out of time because she lost her grip on the flowers(story) - which is why she ran out of time - not that the judges were unfair...
And I hope she understood - the mainstay of the show was Khushi's character and that in trying to glamorize ASR and butchering Khushi's character was counterproductive
J,
Deletenice thot......
Sri....the issue i don't think is about the glomorisation of ASR...ASR was not glamorised or glorified....it was a character through whom this story was to be unveiled to viewers largely...ASR was the premise of Gul's story....and so its only fair she stayed true to it for a large part...Coming to Khushi's character who was to be centre of ASR every thot, became a middle of the road one, almost unrecognisable as time went by....
my inkling is makers's and medium's sensibilities never matched on how ASR was to perceive Khushi or how Khushi was to behave after a certain point in the story...Natasha's outburst is probably symptomatic of it....i agree with J on this...
Its purely to San's credit that K remained lovable to us and we all found it easy to accept that ASR loved her any which way...
I was reading Sush's thread on IF..where she made a lovely point of the diversity of audience that IPK had..
Frankly, I think the medium never really understood the diversity of its audience..or maybe they understood it too wel.that there were people who saw it for ARHI, people who saw it for ASR, people for Khushi, people who saw it for Barun, people who saw it for Sanaya, people who saw it for a diff story, people saw it for a the promise of their story, and so on .....yes..its tuf to formulate a strategy that makes everyone happy..maybe they need to go to the drawing board to check what went wrong or should i say, do they already know what went right for them in all this? In showbiz, the show must go on!! A show ending does not signal that...so i presume the ending of the show was necessary for the continuity of their bus plans....
Rekha,
DeleteI understand Gul's idea that it was ASR's story - but she faltered in executing it that way...Khushi was supposed to be the catalyst - the change-agent for a strong character - it was even more critical to keep Khushi's character strong and crystal clear...else it destroys credibility for both characters...
If she had done it right, it would have been easier for her to phase out either Barun or Sanaya if needed - the problem was that the characters became weak / ambiguous..only held together by the fabulous actors..we made adjustments to our interpretations to make sense of the shifts in characters till we lost track of what we started with - confuse if not convince seemed to be the motto...
Lots of lessons for them to learn - I was putting my proj.mgmt hat on and looking at this mess and wrote up something - will post it in a bit :)
From my post elsewhere looking at this as a case study - my take on what went wrong -not from the creative aspect but from the management aspect:)
DeleteThe problem was the mismanagement of the social media PR...and how badly they underestimated the power of the fan following and the hysteria...
This serial was an internet phenomenon for Indian TV - In a bid to sustain interest in the show they started feeding tidbits of story lines into the social media..
Did they miscalculate or what!!! The minute a leak came out the fandom would whip up into a frenzy and make their opinion felt ..
The team would then scramble to alter their story line, reshoot, re-edit , rework their story to suit fan sentiment - it was a circus for the last 5 months or so:-)Sound familiar ?
It is the ultimate project management and design nightmare - serving a million sponsors who change their mind about the product to build by the minute..
Classic case of losing the conceptual integrity of what you started to build because of all the forces pulling in different directions.If you do not manage communication and stakeholder expectations right - you are bound to fall short
Exit of actors is a known, highly probable risk in this industry - not planning an exit strategy and setting expections with the stakeholders(fandom) is what did them in
Sri / Rekha,
DeleteI like teh thoughts penned.
I agree the channel perhaps never really understood how diverse and audience their story had - across continents and cultures and all ages. Like Rekha sadi so many different reasons but the one thing in common being the Arnav and Khushi story.
Sri you mentioned 5 months, good I was gonna bring it up when you said project management. When exactly did Khushi really start to waffle as a character I would say around that time. She was ok even through Gupta house and kidnapping. In fact she was very strong during kidnapping so her sudden waffling soon after was sorely felt. 5 months ago was when I recall the rumours began in earnest - arshad khan leaving, LM not coming back, DB wanting out and so on. Whether the project managers intended the waffling or were too lazy to make an effort I can only guess.
Social Media - an unknown to channel in terms of scale for this show who has jsut woken up to it but a known to the PH whose earlier show is also said to have had an international reach and they have contact points for all their shows. People call it a bid for transperancy I would say choice to be in the public eye. They knew a leak whips up fenzy. If you pause and think, the spoilers gained momentum after the hate marriage especially after BS movie break was announced. Till then it was tolerable and teh story kept us going laregly with the spoiler pics.
Yes mismanagement for sure bcos they stopped posting pics and that meant shooting was happening last minute.
I would love to think it was bcos of me/audience but if tehy created it then they were the ones changing it as and when too. Audience could only give them a pulse btu they also sat and watched things they did not want as long as it made story sense.
Like u said Sri - they lost integrity in something they started to build and instead made teh actors bigger than the characters in the last 5 months aiding the process of making it difficult to see the actor and character apart with ease.
good point sandy.. and once the actors were biggeer than the characters, (given the fact that even comedy did not fall flat... from the angsty beginnings, i think the creatives thought that they would lose viewers if they showed comedy.. but sanaya and barun and even daljeet and karan were so good at comedy that IPK became a comedy serial, and yet the audience did not quit.. the cinematographer, the director.. no change affected the online audience..
Deletein fact, most of the online audience drop-off happened in the dadi phase.. even though arshi were in love, the dadi-saas and her atyachaar gave indigestion to the viewers. add to it the anji-snake(DDR) lovestory, garima's perma-shock face and clueless arnav, the story stepped into realms of incoherence. (IMHO) only barun and sanaya managed to keep the show afloat.. and then they got wed. what is there left to show after the leads got married?
like sandy said, thoda sa takraar, dher saara pyaar.. did they know how to weave a story around that? did they want to? of course, we hear that the head of the CT did not. and the rest of the CT were offended. who knows the truth? why should i spend my time worrying about it?
right now, SP has ended the show on a point where a season 2 is indeed possible. at the end of the story, finally, khushi has won the MrsIndia title, she knows that she is capable.. she has grown into the role of Mrs Arnav Raizada.
so now, what can we see in a story where the lead pair is rich, happily married and equally capable?
one scene from the present.. and a blast from the past.. http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320873
ReplyDeletescrool down to my comment there.. then you will understand.
Sanaya gave an interview on Zoom...her stance on the whole shutting the show thing is very clear...but has managed to annoy a lot of people.. should they all just keep quiet and lie low for a bit?? the phangirls are already going crazy...hhmmmm...

Ani,
DeleteCan I please ROFL at the voiceover - now salary tidbit too - gosh is it at all about the show to any of them.
I liked how Mami said - it could have been run and if it was not there would be a reason.
I also like SI saying dont want to give importance to people who have led to this decision for the decision is done.
And yes it is sudden for the crew and humaari bhi duaa hai ki tehy all find work soon - after all impressive show on their resumes should boost chances.
Honestly I think media should now give it a rest. Channel and fans are not interested. It was good when it lasted and it saddened people when it ended. Bas!
Ab yeh baal ki khaal nikaalke what is one trying to prove?

Sandy...see something like this has not happened before so the media is making the most of it..par fans bhi aise hi hai naa re..bhadak jaatein hain at the slighest provocation...everyone should let it go and watch the show from the beginning!!
Deletestar should telecast the show again!! now that will be fun...
Oh Ani,
DeleteI get it with the media - I also meant the fans. I mean after the show has ended why bother ki kyun band hua. Plus people need to read, pause, absorb and then respond not react.
As for fans, they should all go see Rann and Peepli Live. Where a spoken word or a picture can be twisted beyond context in this age of digitization, when the MMS of a rape is move avidly watched than debating justice for a girl, when 26/11 blasts coverage is more imp than nto blowing the strategy of the troops, people are asking me to believe in the might of the pen.
Even the print media once in haste to scoop printed Dewey defeats Truman becoming an example for all the wrong reasons.
Sandy,
DeleteMy exam went well today I next on tuesday so some break..
Ya planning to make VM but after my exams say in Jan... and the theme is Arhi promises !!! from hate to love forever- Humaesha". so it will start with ASR promising Khushi to make her life hell to yesterday's Love you arnavji !!
So girls any suggestion on songs ???
I always love to make VMs after the show ends , mainly because it helps be pick up my best clips and allows me to rewatch the episodes from a different point of view when I know the end.. the nauances and angles and the depth which are discussed helps me to understand why....
I hope I can make something worth to watch !!
sandy, putting in my two cents.. i think sobti will forever be branded by the bad-luck stamp. because that is the image the media is projecting.. he ran a year, jumped ship when better offers came.. he's gonna be in a tight situation once he returns from the honeymoon media blackout.
DeleteSandy..
Deletei totally get what you mean about the fans...as someone who works in the media world..i do not hesitate to say the fault lies on both ends..readers, viewers, fans do not want to understand..they don't find the need to pause and think..they would rather react..and the media thrives on this reaction..
both parties do not really care what the "truth" is..aaj ka kaam hogaya bas...
J,
DeletePerhaps it looks like that to us now for that is what we are supposed to see? Like Ani says for the media and others aaj ka kaam hogaya bas.
Forget BS ab toh SI is again being painted as being insensitive -trying to alienate people who loved her?
The people within the industry who understand these moves and decisions are seeing the whole issue their way and not how the media is showing it. Media is just for us paagal audience who would like to feel God in real life especially after the recent movie OMG and Paresh Rawal's role.
BS being loyal or committment phobic we shall not know for sure and can only guess but there are many who would know and vouch in favoour or against. So it is them that will count for his future career. As for us, now poori duniya knows that BS has an audience chunk that shall follow his blindly - much like Sanaya's captive audience who followed her from MJHT. That makes him a good asset to have in the bigger scheme.
Interestingly on the forum many say they started watching the show bcos they were SI fans and gradually started to like ASR and therefore BS and then the jodi.

ReplyDeleteYou know what I am enjoying since morning.
A spoof or parody called 'Gane wala song'.
It s hilarious. Google it. I am not able to copy paste the link :-(
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIs8A-gmtC4
Enjoy :-)
DeleteRekha,
I am sorry I could not join you all here but shaadi has started and have to go and show my head everywhere. Caught the Friday episode at 11pm and really enjoyed it.
I thought they had done a good job considering that the actors were not there.
But cannot accept that the PH was serious to continue with the serial.
Saw the ad for another serial that I end up catching up on, yeh rishta kya kehlata hai and that is synonymous of serial makers actually serious about continuing with a serial. New people continuously getting ntroduced, new tracks, new stories starting ending, lead going for his shaadi and honeymoon taking a long break shown as being in an accident and coma and a news article at the right time saying they will go fr a leap with the heroine taking over. That shows a PH serious abut continuing.
Two months back an actor gives his notice and they could not respect their own character ASR and give him proper closure.
When a child cries for something, we distract the child by showing something more interesting, not hold press conferences to the entire family saying why we are denying the child something and why we are good parents after all by denying the child something.
And I just can't believe that they were serious about their product. I Would have loved to hold BS responsible for quitting etcetEra If I had thought they were serious in continuing.
I personally loved ASR AND would not have minded even Viraf replacing as ASR.
Anyway I loved the ending and I blame star plus totally for giving a four day notice knowing fully well that the actor was not in town and if known the Ph could easily have shot a proper last episode instead of wasting time shooting a death scene which was not needed. Cutting your nose to spite your face.
Loved all the posts and have Gone through all the posts the whole Of yesterday. Came to know of this place quite late and hope to keep coming here.
Agree with Usha here. The producers here were not keen on taking forward the show. Had they been little considerate they could have taken this story to high point and at least could have closed it on a high note.
DeleteYes in Yeh rishta the lead actor is out of action for couple of weeks following his marriage and honeymoon. The producers are taking the story ahead with a leap and with growth in the characters. And here the producers had 2 months and they couldn't think of one decent track to get BS out of the show and take the story ahead. This shows they give a damn about their own story and show. And now they can blame whatever on the fans and the audience, the truth is the show shut down because the producers themselves wanted to dump the show.
Usha,
DeleteI am neither excited about the end of the serial or its continuity...For me IPK ending with ARHI meant a putting an end to something that was just getting worse every day (even tho it had very bright moments that lives on in our memory)and as far as its continuity is concerned I had mentioned earlier...it was a case of the medium working to get my attention back....(however, immodest that sounds)
Since u brought up the YRKKH comparison....i feel compelled to write....becos i see a point in it.A GEC has to consider many things...one among that keeping a working thing in running condition.....why fix it if it ain't broke?
YRKKH kind of serials can go on and on until GEC tires of it or the makers tire of it...they will have a steady following, each group of that fan base watching it for diff reasons, ranging from relieving oneself from boredom to watching it for combating day to day problems etc.....
IPK was, imo, not meant by makers to be that....they had an end in mind as also a definitive path..but channels kept continuity of plans in mind esp ones that look to be working in perfect condition in their assessment. (which is where the channel and maker clashed, imo)
So, a medium would probably think why don't they look to continue something that has worked so well for them, in addition to adding a new target aud......they looked to chip and chop keeping those things in mind as also their standpoint of what the channel perhaps stands for....female characters to the fore....
so far so gud for the channel except that they may have miscalculated that IPK was probably one serial that made their male character very popular among its audience(largely the overseas ones)....and added to that their trump card was not playing ball....now further add the tadka of the fan base creating some nuisance value..
To my mind the fan hysteria has no real impact except bring home to the medium a very important point that not all serials can be seen in the YRKKH light.....
So, if they wish to continue to project what they really want to... that is a long running serial they had to make a clean break.....give the serial an end....to cut the umbilical cord it had with the male character...The reason many serials on SP project female characters is with a purpose.....they have a largely female audience, who watch with avid interest how women take positions in their reel lives(however convoluted they be) and manage their lives in hostile, or regimented environments....thats their USP...having a strong male character doesn't do much for them, only helps get in largely the teeny bopper gen in for some time but they are a fickle audience...they are drooling on BS/ASR now, they can move to the next just as easily...yeh umr ka takaza hain!! I agree IPK did have a section of the aud who connected to the story in a big way but the fact remains that such a story comes with a shelf life....(the convergence of viewpoints of fans and channel, maker may not happen at the same time)
On a emotional standpoint for the people working with the serial, it must have come as a shock that they were being told that they cannot continue on a project becos the powers-that-be did not think it was possible to continue becos of one member no longer being in the cast...well how much of it is a complaint one can have from a faceless cyberspace audience is another matter....fandom is like that only...they attach and detach on a whimsical basis...to me its seems more reasonable to ask real people the accountability questions, if there are really any in this matter...
This is not to mean that GEC doesn't see value in the BS wave...on the contrary, they would see a lot of value in it only that the shape of tat role may change in future not necessarily the kind we have seen so far....it could be something as simple as getting them the buy-in in other market segments...
Deletein business and politics there are no permanent friends or foes....
DeleteRekha, I so agree with each and every word you said. I never ever thought ipkknd was the type of serial that could go on and on. It is definitely not a YRKKH. I see yrkkh and then dont see it, same with balika vadhu. I see it and then i dont see it. Whereas i did not miss one episode f ipkknd.
That is why I am surprised why not one real person is held accountable for this pink slip and it so easy to blame a faceless cyber audience. I like the way you have explained it. So turning on the 200 odd fans who must have phoned spending their money is so unfair.
I remember during Geet, the whole online audience without exception was waiting for Geet to get justice but then suddenly they showed a track wherein the main villain who was responsible for the whole mess was pardoned off by Geet and the makers said you fans only told us that dev had to be pardoned. We were all shocked. And then the story went downhill and nothing could be salvaged. People left the show and never came back. We stayed and stayed and hit our heads at the incongruous tracks because we were addicted and stayed till the channel closed. The equivalent here would be a Shyam getting pardoned because he was anjali's husband. Thankfully here they continued to keep him as the villian.
You have written very well what I wanted to write but cld not.
Actually now with the IPK wave, I think the channels and the audience have woken up to the M&B kind of serials - one which has definite characteristics written for the leads. No one wants to watch the same old bahu trying to be the ideal bahu, saas torturing the new girl in house and kitchen politics. And I think IMO people are also fed up with Ekta kind of twists wherein the leads separate/marry others and separate and come together again. The intelligent audience now wants characters which they can relate to.
Delete4Lions did come up with good characteristics but they lost their interest midway. And the strange thing is that people who have watched the show had better understanding of the leads than the creatives themselves and suddenly the creatives were lost. They didn't know what they wanted to show. This is the same thing that happened in Geet too. Geet fights with all and sundry to keep her unborn baby but then they showed the miscarriage of Geet and from there on it was downhill for the show. And eventually the villian was pardoned and not only that he was married to Geet's cousin sister. I was completely put off with the stupid turns that serial was taking. In that sense I am thankful that IPK closed with ArHi rather than becoming one of the stupid serials on air.
The only thing I would be happy is if other PHs wake up and seeing the wave of IPK cash in on SARUN and get a good M&B show albeit with a fixed shelf time but good costumes, good storyline and taut direction. That would be icing on the cake.
Sarada,
DeleteI tried seeing honge juda na hum on Sony and could not see more than two episodes despite loving the actor whom I saw in maryada and watched that serial at the completely odd time that it was telecast spoiling my whole sleep pattern and my schedule for the next day. So even the actor being cast in a love story could make me see the serial. So it has to be the right combination finally.
Rekha / Usha / Sarada,
DeleteGood points. I like what Rekha said - umr ka takaaza is the name of the game - no permanent friends or foes in most cases. Who knows 3 years later head honchos at Star change and they may even do a show with the PH again.
Rekha, more than female viewing audience what Star will gradually begin to realize is the audience these days - even TV audience is tuning in for the story. The TRP topper says it. There the male and female leads both have a role in teh story and it balances the give and take between them. M&B is another genre as can be seen from other channels too. Singling bonds. The name of the game now seems to be rishtey rather than naari. And more so from the men's point of view. That is perhaps why the saas bahu type stry with ek doosre se wrapped up in such short time.
The actor's recall value will ensure initial eyeballs but to keep the show stable the content being shown will need to measure up.Looks like the mindless neevr ending days of soaps will gradually ease out and seasons of soaps may be run into Indian telly.
Its an interesting world out there...
I am rewatching rewatching and rewatching! Ever since the show ended, I cant seem to detox. Although I have been missing episodes left right and centre before. In fact I would give the CVs credit, they did their best considering the main lead wanted to leave. The patchy screenplay all of a sudden doesnt look that bad to me..have become such a softie!!
ReplyDeleteBas ek he shikaayat..I hope BS also says once that he is sad that the show ended..where-ever he is hiding, I just want him to say this once..jhoot he sahi..kaleje wich thand pad jaaye mere!
Otherwise, I will feel betrayed and will label him thankless.
Sukhi
sukhi, I, for one, feel pity for the guy.. he gave 2 months notice, he gave his death scene, he was confident that the show would go on without him.. and wherever he is , he is supposed to be on vacation.. would totally NOT be a vacation once he knows the hoopla.
Deleteand obviously, Star put the blame squarely on his shoulders.. "we tried to get him to change his mind, he did not, so we are discontinuing the show" and gave the support staff barely 4 days to wrap up the show..
Agree with Jaya here.Bechara BS even shot for the death scene. He was supposed to exit the show via the death track but then the channel went ahead and closed off the show and then claimed that because BS was quitting we are closing the show. That was too cheap in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteFully agree with the TM. So many unclosed loop holes and glaring character inconsistencies marred the show. Arnav who hated noise was supposed to have been a star drummer (the noisiest of instruments) in college. Khushi who preached against the use of crackers to La, was enthusiastic about bursting them to cheer Aarav. Khushi who was so concerned about Aarav not having his father, does not hang around to play Aarav's mum once Sheetal leaves and was too busy trying to be Mrs. India instead, all to prove a point to Arnav. The beauty pagent itself was such a joke. I was wondering about why hey chose this track till I cuaght one of the ads between the breaks for Femina Miss India. So IPK was used to promote one of the sponsers of the show or what?
DeleteAnyway, since I kenw what to expect from the PH, I wasn't too disappointed. I still cherish all the intense and memorable scenes they gave us. After all our minds can weave the tracks we wanted to see but did not get to see due to the PH's and CV's laziness in completing what they started, even when they had the opportunities to do so.
opti, what you just said underlined my theory that IPK 1.0 ended at the rewedding, episode 353.. (somehow the CT emphasized that point when they showed that griha pravesh scene as the climax. i was looking behind my back, if big brother/devimaiiya was watching..) everything after the rewedding was one big joke. not the CCTVs, not the drama for Di's anniv, please let me never remember shyam's finale, the the rakshabandhan was a caricature, the disaster of a birthday, the whole shital track, then Mrs. India.. (i dont know how they managed to make some magical arhi moments in between, but they did, solely thanks to sarun) anyway, the last 40 episodes were what lost all the loyal fans, as we here at R&R can prove, seeing the number of comments on each episode.
Deleteand opti, the CVs laziness/inability to complete tracks does not look like it will be a problem in QH, there the tracks are haphazard already!
Tried to put into words what I think about IPK and R&R – failed miserably – so if you can, bear with my ramblings
ReplyDeleteDia and gang – am not going to thank you all for R&R – not right now – not as a goodbye – coz me is going nowhere!! IPK may end but R&R is definitely not! – so will keep pestering you all as usual and will thank you some other day!!
IPK –
About its end – I for one do not think that the actors or the audience are to blame – have said this time and again – BS wanted out, gave in his papers, served his time = free to go. Audience for all the crazy few thousand who wrote and called – they were not the only ones that killed the show – there had to be other reasons for its closure – the fact is, the story was being neglected – near perfect build ups would fizzle out with wet crackers (phooooosssss!!!) – and no follow up on so many things , so many loose ends – all kept IPK at ‘almost’ top position – but never at the top – leading to people losing interest and TRPS – The one thing that did keep the show on top was two damned fine actors who could ignite the screen with their eyes alone! So in my head, the show would have died a long time back had it not been for the ARhi magic! And to give credit where it is due –the CT, for coming up with bits that were so beautifully done that they become the trend setters instead of being one of the many clichés.
Characters: Every character was slaughtered by virtue of never being allowed to develop – the onus and the focus of the show remained on the two leads and them alone!! (with the exception of TF! – he did get a fairly well established character)
While I agree that KKG was at times reduced to being silly – I never felt her character was slaughtered – she always remained true to herself (despite being ott at times) meaning she was always within her character boundaries with a few hitches at times. If fact to the extent that she learnt nothing till the end – she was perfect (as a human being) and remained so – she changed people but never changed herself.
ASR however was the one slaughtered always – Now we have to understand that coz he WAS the negative character, his growth had to the most significant – his journey from Ruthless ASR to caring Arnav had to be the most visible – Even though he started off being a very clear character but there were phases where he simply did nothing – forget character growth, there was no movement, not even what old ASR would have done like holi, post marriage, kidnapping – the CT simply butchered his character at very such step! The only reason the story did not lose viewers like us (not only the fangirls) was coz of Sarun – no doubts there!
All other characters – very well etched out in the beginning but none got a chance to grow – no one changed, developed or showed any movement and herein lies the PHs biggest flaw – their inability to concentrate on the others in such a way that the others ADD to and BUILD the story of the leads!
Anyways – IPK was great fun to watch and I guess the best part was coming here and discussing the characters and the story with more fervor than I think the CT ever put in to build it in the first place!
Monu,
DeleteTum theek ho?
Tum they ya sapnon ka tha saawan
Tum they ke khushiyon ki ghata chaayi thi
Tum they ya roshni raahon main thi
Tum they ya geet goonje phizaaon main the
Tum they ke that koi phool khila
Tum thy ya milaa tha muje nayaa jahaan
A sapnon ki duniya that brought us mad hatters together. Music that made us remember tunes we had forgotten. Words / Dialogues that will stay for ever with us like some of the BW epics, eccentric catch phrases and an entire compilation of acronyms that R&R came up with, DM and Godjee, shiddats and dandaas, ishaaras for stalking, legal analyses, debates on societal issues, mythology, decoding and ulta decodes, and so much more.
Many were the companions that travleed the road with us
Made the journey funfilled and enjoyable
Some hopped off already while new people hopped on
Some have stayed till the bends made way for the end
Like life, the journey to this destination has been a good one
A toast to more such journeys and memories!!

My heartfelt thanks to dia and her wonderful group who made IPKKND more beautiful and meaningful with their sweet analysis.
ReplyDeleteIt was really a new experiences going through the analysis of each episode. And u people made it more interesting with ur lovely songs and weekend shiddats.
I was really happy to know and tell my family that there are more sankadevis in this world other than me....;-)
I wanted to be a part of ur analysis team, but due to time constraints i couldnt. But enjoyed ur blog a lot.
Loved each and every one of u in this group.
