Everyone needs to freaking calm down! Read this entire post (warning - long post) these are strictly my opinion and well if you would like to share your just msg! :D
Ok.. so this morning a friend of mine sent me the link to the promo and more than anything I was shocked. Why was I shocked because frankly I hadnt seen this coming... (maybe its just that I had been out of the loop about all of this)
But seeing everyone elses reaction is kinda pissing me off. Why, you ask? well here why :
"It's Gul's fault" - to who ever that says the, did you not learn ANYTHING from last time. She probably has NOTHING to do with this entire thing, she isnt event producing it! And the thing about Gul selling the right to the name.. I am not a law student or anything just this show is not called "Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon" its called "iss pyaar ko kya naam doon... ek baar phir" i dont know if this technically it actually exist but i think if you can copyright it on a different name like that. Or who knows maybe star plus owns the rights! Bottom like is give her a break!
"Star plus is just doing this for money" well it totally takes a genius to figure that out doesnt it (note the sarcasm here). Of course they are doing it for money! Ultimately, at the end of the day, they want to make money and not using the success of ipkknd would be just stupid! They have competition to deal with!
"i am not watching star plus ever again" - first do you watch anything other than ipkknd on star plus and if you do how is it fair to boycott other perfectly awesome shows like Veer ke Ardaaz Veera or Ek Nanad Ki Khushiyon ki Chabi.. Meri bhabi... think rationally here
"IPKKND Season 2" i wont say anything about this, arshiwhatthe said it really well and i agree with everything she said! Read here
"showing the male lead insulting women is not setting a good example" please dont get me started about the shows out there that are not setting a good example! Like are you kidding me? I can just as well say that the Saas-Bahu shows should not be shown because it would encourage mother-in-laws to verbally/physically abuse their daughter-in-law...They would do that whether you they see it or not, its a mentality and I personally would want to see this show more just knowing that they are going to show the male lead evolving and understanding that women CAN run the world if they wanted to. Has no one heard of the show Dil se Di Dua... Saubhagyavati Bhava? search it up! that show was an eye opener and encouraged many many women to step up and voice their issues!
Finally i just want to say that this is a new show. Different actors (who dont seem to be okay actors), different character, different creepy music, different plot and even a different title. THIS IS NOT SEASON 2. Star Plus made it very clear as they didnt mention anywhere, anything about it being a carry forward of the that we left off at. The old people arent coming back, at least probably not in the characters they were in.
Am i going to watch this show? - I am going to give it a try for sure
well thats all for now, i have promised myself this morning when i first saw the promo that i would not post my opinion until i had more of an idea of what it was about after reading some of the posts i HAD to comment. Once again this is my opinion, if you dont agree well then you dont, if you want to tell me why you dont agree - send a ask/msg
