As far as costumes n accessories goes makers have made an experiment keeping in mind the regular hindi TV audience which is definitely susceptible to debate.

As far as logic goes cloud seeding is definitely cant be so done so smoothly as shown here but I read somewhere that if cobra bites on the forehead one soon secretes dollop of bloods.

Another thing I want to tell u guys don't make it sound like IPKKND1 had some great logical writing in fact I find IPKKND1 more gravely illogical that ipk3 so far I mean think abt it a girl is hired to inculcate ''values'' or teach daily chores like cooking , making diyas or how to drape sarees to the soon to be bahu????? ohhh come on really?? what non sense is that what was nani ji or anjali was doing in the house???

Or take this a lawyer practicing in the same city goes missing in the name of work and nobody ether buaji's family nor the raizadas raise any suspicion??? as if law is transferable job that requires lawyers to change cities so frequently??

Or take this khushi never found out about shyam being anjali's husband untill the meeting on terrace anjali could hv just shown her his pic coz she was eager khushi to see her husband

but inspite of this idiotic n ilogical premise we fell in love with show coz we loved the characters of arnav and khushi and their scenes together.

So I am just saying its too early to judge ipk3 the way you are judging


Dear Sister,

I'm sorry that I'm a bit late in responding to your interesting comment above.

I agree with much of what you say above---and, I would like to add to your point on the logical vs. illogical argument.

As a student of writing, I have found that viewers/readers will stay with you through illogical plot details WHEN the execution is on point.

There is an acronym in the creative world: IAITE 'It's All In The Execution.' Viewers/Readers will suspend disbelief on many small things, if they are invested in the big thing. In IPK1 they were captivated by the Arnav-Khushi chemistry/relationship that all the production and plot flaws were forgiven.

And contrary to that---when the big thing is not working, the small things take on a heightened importance.
