I haven't managed to read everyone's comments but am so glad to see that I am not in a minority! Before seeing the episode I saw the comments on the forum and was wondering whether its just me, but what I read, didn't sound in the least bit appealing...
...and after I saw the episode, I was wondring why did I even bother? The antics were worth a laugh as a standalone but not as IPKKND!
I started watching the show in early Jan and was hooked, downloaded and watched episodes ad nauseum, and, while it wasn't the best in class as far as production values, editing etc went, it was outstanding due to the characterisations of the two leads esp Arnav - the anti hero!
Now he's been reduced to a helpless, bumbling, at-a-loss-for-words, dumbfounded, perenially on the backfoot romantic hero. Where is the Arnav who didn't think twice about releasing her video, or dropping her from his office? Who wouldn't look her in the eyes for fear of what she would see in his and what he might be forced to acknowledge? Who was cutting, nasty and short with her, even as he regretted everything he said? All that regret still didn't stop him from being obnoxious.
Strange that for a telly hero, where one would hope that the progression would be from a beast to a Prince Charming, I am wishing that the beast would be back! Anything would be better than this!
As for Khushi, I loved her quiet rectitude, her sense of dignity and calm in the face of Arnav's worst behaviour and suddenly she is this screeching, completely unheeding, OTT and unmindful comic character!
Of course the backgrounds of the characters have been chopped, altered, messed with as convinient so much so that the earlier FBs, backgrounds may well have been in another serial and of other characters!
As for the show, it has rapidly moved from being compelling to being depressing, lol!
I started watching EHMMBH courtesy a friend, and I must say even with IPL on, they haven't faltered or decided to show insane fillers to bide time till IPL gets over! The story continues on the track that they have obviously thought through. Whether the story is good, bad, intense, watchable or not is a different issue, but they aren't butchering their characters and story for an IPL!
The even bigger targedy? I am still around and watching! Sigh, that says a lot about me, lol! But mercifully I can rave and rant while I wait for the CVs to get back their act together!
Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.
