I have tried it. No one and I repeat No one can do Arnav Singh Raizada better than Barun. The intensity, the fire uff. the Bengali lead is fat and expressionless. He reminds me of a turtle as his neck is constantly at a 90 degree angle. His color choices are horrible. The near kiss scene in the Bengali version had him sporting a freaking yellow jacket. I nearly had a heart attack watching those two butcher that scene. The only consolation is that both the leads are equally fat, (the dude actually has a paunch and I am not even kidding) which makes them acceptable together. The Bengali girl is cute but no Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. Khushi is an ethereal beauty. Whatever she wears looks gorgeous on her. Her expressions are spot on and her comic timing is superb. IPKKND is the best serial created in the history of television. On the plus side now I know tons of Bengali words.
