So after the success of my first discussion post, I have decided to make this a new section of my blog.
Many of you here are already away of IPKKND3 and today we got the first episode. I have just finished watching it and I have many opinions. I have read the written update (just to make sure I understood everything that we learnt in the episode) and I have also read number of reviews, just to feel out other people’s views. So here’s my short review of the epsiode.
1. Barun freakin Sobti! He’s back with a bang. The moment the show opened with him, everything was gone from my head. If my calculations are correct, I believe it’s been about 4 years and 6ish months since IPKKND ended and it felt SO GOOD to see Barun on tv. I know he has had other projects in between, but they hadn’t really come to my attention. But to see him again, after so long with his ASR vibe felt so good. His entry, what we initially saw of him, the little bit of his story, all that really captivated me. I’m not sure if that was the Barun affect or the affect of the story, but at that point, I was hooked.
Also, his scene at the end, him pulling the rope, the point where his vain was popping out of his neck? That’s acting, that’s a real actor. He made that look real, look believable, the magic was there.
2. The lead girl… I didn’t like her entrance and I didn’t like her beginning. However, her interaction with her father got me. She’s a good actress, she made me feel her pain in that moment, so I have high hopes for her acting. But I must admit, that was the only point where she had my undivided attention. When she was telling her story to the other guy, I lost interest to Ben completely honest.
3. The aunts in front of the temple, I didn’t like. At this point I really, really lost interest and honestly, I have no idea what they were on about. I got bored as hell and I was ready to turn away at that point. They seemed very basic, the basic kind of characters you get in all of these shows. They didn’t bring anything to the table like buaji or Mamiji did in the original IPKKND.
So really, if Braun wasn’t in the show, this is that type of show which I would have had one look at and would never have looked at again. I don’t think any other actor could have captivated me at the beginning. (or at all) I feel like the story has potential, but personally for me, it didn’t call out to me and if not for Barun I’m sure I wouldn’t be tuning in again.
I also feel like I lot of people tuned in today because of Barun only. I strongly believe that if Barun wasn’t in the show, or if it didn’t carry the IPKKND name, a lot more people wouldn’t have given the show a second look.
I understand many people will not agree with me, and that’s fine. We are here to discuss, to share our opinions. All in all, I got bored and at one point I didn’t know what was going on at all, hence why I had to go and look at the written update. I will carry on watching for the rest of the week, but if by Friday I’m still bored, then I’m afraid, Barun or no Barun, they will lose a regular viewer in me.
Please let let me know what what you guys thought of the episode and leave your comments. Discuss with each other, and have fun guys!
I’d also like to take this moment to promote my work 😂 I’ve had a HUGE increase in views and stuff since the last discussion post. So if you are someone new, please do check out my stories and let me know what you think! Leave a like and a comment, it would mean a lot to me!
