Yes, they dont have much time, even RM with 0.8 is shutting down and RSHD's future also doesn't look good.

The channel is banking on its new shows to do well, if they end up like that Ulka Gupta show, then our show may be safe, if not, then KMTMG will be forced off air as well.

'Ikk Kudi' also had a known face Avinash Rekhi as male lead that too in same Punjabi sardarji getup which made him popular in Colors successful Choti Sardarni serial.

First pre-launch promo was eye catching, but from promo release to actual launch guess there was almost two months gap, and Zee combined it to launch along with KMTMG late Nov 2023. By that time buzz was lost in media and then Sriti's come back Kaise took up all attention of SM & media. So felt it was kind a drawback for Ikk Kudi plus 7pm early slot. Added pre-launch promo to first two weeks episodes itself there was mismatch in expectations. (btw I came to know later that RM serial writer Akshdeep was story writer of Ikk Kudi too, can guess it was messed up new heroine centric crime story all over place.)

Was the 'Kudi Punjab Di' show, which launched around the time Kaise launched similar - no big faces etc. That didn't go well.

If they are to wrap it up, they can do it in a week too. Waise bhi nearly 100 eps se drag hi kar rahe hai (and bina matlab ka... Babs ko chahiye to mele me hi expose kar sakte the... but nope. hume show ki band bajani hai.)

exposing her and the consequences of it would've been a much better way to go.

Yes of course. It never had a great moving story to begin with. Can see why MD had to persuade Sriti so much.. but looking at shows being taken off air.. only the 3 Bhagyas remain. It mostly depends on new shows doing well, if they don't, then KMTMG has more time, if they do, then latter will join its predecessors sooner than later

The male lead was Choti sardani wala Male lead it was quite hit on colors. Female no idea

Ek time tah zee ka serial was shot in london.

Yeah, SP shows were shot in London and Switzerland. But now with OTT producers aren't willing to invest a lot in TV.

Oh yeah, he had a hit show on Colors as well.

Agreed he told Amu leave for his own emotions & failure on promises. Would be kind to say only 30% of reason for Amu to leave was for her protection... just tried to shorten that post.

Is he self centered?

Let me start by asking does he ever think/ explain why he a good choice for Amu... NO ITS ALL ABOUT VIRAT! Fact is he needs all around servant for Ahujas. 1 that takes care of family, cooks , loyal & provides him entertainment by their clever non harmful bickering. HE SCARED TO LOSE THIS

Am I saying he doesn't care for Amu. No! BUT WHEN WILL WE SEE A DISCUSSION WHY VIRAT IS SUITABLE FOR AMU? ... Read something on X in his note. Priyanka helped virat realise Amu worth. THAT'S NOT CHARMING - ITS DISGUSTING! If it took him time for priyanka to come back & realise this ... means he learnt nothing from divorce & low priyanka he married. He finally realises Amu worth - makes it ok he didnt see Amu better when they met but further took all his marriage with priyanka drama on Amu? Eg. Gold digger insult.

YES people makes mistakes I'm not perfect. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES- VIRAT who doesn't illustrates virat as low character but all fans are falling for this fool. Why?

That's certainly not an unpopular opinion - at least here in IF.

'Too late' is what I felt too while watching todays scene... and also the reason i mentioned the past 2 eps seems to be written for Ammu to slip into love for him.

Yup... he will do it again - and that was the main reason why they shouldn't have done the mela thing. I dont know how Ammu can trust him even a bit. The character and VA relationship died there for me.

"Only positive on date night is he split from Amu this time thinking about her protection & not only himself."

The 'not only himself' part... hmm.. arguably right. But the conclusion he came to was he doesn't want to feel guilty that he is unable to protect her. So how much of it is about 'her safety' and how much is about himself is debatable.

[I do think they should've shown him thinking even in the staircase, after that convo with ex. Think that would've set things right for the date scene. The same scene should've been reversed - first convo with ex, then him thinking, if nothing else 'what if Ammu for once is unable to protect herself / win?' ]

Add to it, today he mentioned I asked you not to sign it until we figure out the I and U thing... Then why give it? (the first time)... that was so very odd. Reveals the writers intent... and (think I can safely say) she messed it up. But... what happened in the past couple of eps, does reveal more and more that he is self-centered. [Need to think on this part a bit more.]

Cant say why fans love the character. Beats me too. The writers haven't made the effort to make him likeable - for me only the phase during Jayesh-Ishika wedding was good... but they made him too good to be true.. only to mess him up later. His background doesn't help either - house full of the Ahujas right now (with a positive Nimmi and Anjali) looks better than how it was in the earlier days. How things are right now should've been how it was from the start (some positive characters in that house and a good relationship.) That didn't help Virat's likeability too.

Abhi (kkb) as an individual was kind of similar to Virat... but they added two good relationships (with Purab and esp Dadi) to balance him out. While watching it I had hope for Abhi and his relationship with Pragya because of his relationship with Dadi. So even if he was 'bad' initially, he was a likeable character. Dildaar could've played a similar role here - if not with Virat but there were multiple places where he could've been shown having much better relationship with Ammu - esp when she was jailed. But that relationship was never explored and kept only for good sounding dialogues about 'dad daughter like relationship', since they were preoccupied with their plot.

[I do need to watch the scene again before I can comment on 'ex made me realise' thing. It wasn't as bad as it sounded... but I've to watch it again. fwi remember he did add a line something like 'ajeeb baat hai' (not likely the exact words) So to me it depends on how 'good' that next line was... ]

With all his flaws, he seems to be good at heart. There were a few times he genuinely helped her. I can say, as a human being, he would do the same if it were someone else. He even said this to her after helping Amu find Bhavani. But eventually, he found a good friend in her, someone with whom he could share his innermost feelings. He made back-to-back promises that he would never misunderstand her, but he broke those promises repeatedly.

It’s always been about him from the beginning....his pain, his broken heart, his family. Even now, he never truly considers Amu as his own, but he wanted her for his selfish reasons....to fight with X first, and then during Nimmi’s fiasco, as his support system, his pillar. He wants her, and he’s heartbroken now that he realizes she wants to leave him. But what does he have to offer her?

Now, apparently, Amu is in love with him. Can he give her the love she deserves? He asked her out on a date, but it felt more like a joke. In his words, it was a "boyfriend-girlfriend type of date." What does that even mean? He hasn’t even wondered if there’s real love between them, not once. It’s the same "I and you" nonsense till today. In my opinion, I don’t think he loves, trusts, or respects her the way a life partner should.... And now, sadly, Amu is hopelessly and unconditionally in love with this selfish, arrogant idiot, which is truly disappointing....I am being rude to him but he hasn't change much...lets see in the upcoming episodes....

watched letter reading part...srijit were so so amazing

I'm confused & didn’t realise it till today. When we saw & heard about wedding... we said we dont want it & how it happened? We asked what characters are affected?

Question- WHY IS BABITA VILLIANS DOING WEDDING? YES- they hope this wedding will send Amu away forever. Did they realise virat will tell Amu he was drugged & cant remember?... Amu will beleive him. Did Babita think Virat will be more determined for divorce with priyanka than past weeks & get into his anger mood not listen to anyone?

Virat will definitely remember Babita drugged him. It doesnt matter if VP wedding successful or not. Babita will probably admit to drugging demand from Priyanka. Babita will finding story she was blackmailed. Virat will say its his guilt fault and Babita gets away. Babita will go further to say virat only worried about Amu while priyanka did stuff to Babita...maybe even prove Amu & priyanka worked together. Priyanka will agree.

Everyone is going crazy on X and explaining according to their fantasy- NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPT! So I had to see parts of episode. I am really really damn angry at the writers!😡... let me explain.

Virat wrote letter in the morning and writes hes not angry at Amu decision & its hers... but in Virats Hallucination he says he didnt rip the papers because he was angry at Amu... WHAT !! Just cos he read letter after Hallucination doesn't it WAS WRITTEN IN THE MORNING before Hallucination contradicting the letter. So is he angry or not? THE LETTER IS A LIE!

Is this mistake on purpose or non actor roles on show really this stupid? Writers prove my point - The letter is manipulating to all viewers & this child Virat angry Amu signed but he did 1st & was rude. Can I ask is most high on chemistry? So high that the writers producers & editors JUST DONT CARE.

Am I going crazy or watching different show to everyone else?
