Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon - Episode Analysis and Symbolism



Show: Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon
Episode: 2nd April 2012

Hello Hi......and No Bye Bye!!!......

Hey Guys I am back after a long hiatus......Kisi ne mujhe miss kiya??? Well I missed all of you, missed writing for you wonderful readers, missed reading the encouraging comments, all in all i missed TT and every activity related to it.....But  i am back, to add my bit of Tadka to TellyTadka-Your Camera to the TV world.....
First things First, i just caught up with the Star Parivaar Awards and i am sure i wouldn't get a better platform to Congratulate the winners of IPKKND....

"Congratulations to all the Winners!!!!".....

 Kudos to the CV's/the makers of IPKKND, for creating the characters of Arnav-Khushi, who in such a short span of time have won the hearts of millions both in Des and Pardes!!!

Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam doon in terms of a Shows seems to be in an oscillating mode, sometimes it does remarkably well, and sometimes it turns out to be a total disappointment.....Well i guess that happens with every Soap on Indian Television.....The entire Arnav Voiceless Sequence was something different, something fresh....Not only it added to the Comic Value of the Show.....but it also showcased how well Khushi read Arnav, which in the long run will help the bond of ASR-KKGSR......And i am not just talking about the Lip-reading Sequences, but one of the most beautifully executed scene in the entire sequence was the one where Khushi walks ahead of Arnav and cannot see him, yet realizes that Arnav has called out to her (When he mouths her Name).....
It wouldn't be wrong to say that the story/script/Logic is gone out of the window for now, and its just moments being created, which does nothing in terms of moving the story forward......Today's episode is an Example for the same........
Episode starts with ASR'S huge Ego, which is not ready to give Credit to Khushi for the Return of his Voice......I wonder how ASR would have managed had it not been for Khushi ??? I mean unless he utters the Phrase "What The".....a 100 times his day would be incomplete right???? So basically she helped him with his "What The..." then (When his Voice was OFF) and now (With his Voice Back).....But its not in Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada's dictionary to give up that easily is it???

Scene Shifts to a Function, where Manorama, Payal, Khushi and Nani are going to perform, but then today, more than the FANCY DRESS COMPETITION it was an arena for promoting "Jo Jeeta Wahi Superstar -2" I understand the promotion of the new Star Plus show on IPKKND, what i don't understand is this FANCY DRESS COMPETITION, that has come out of nowhere.....With the Wrong Costume Fiasco, and Nani not able to wear the costume that was delivered, chances are that Nani Raizada will convince Arnav to take up the role of Ranjha.....But the question is will Arnav take up this role and help his wife, his better half???

The Trip, Fall and catch in today's episode would have been been there done that kinda situation had it not been for the Head Hitting Sequence prior to it, The way Khushi Bangs her head against Arnav's on purpose, for the fear of Horns shows the child inside her......and somewhere down the lane its this same Childish Innocence, bold and truthful nature, with the right amount of attitude that makes Arnav fall for Khushi again and again......

The expressions that Barun Gives as ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA are priceless......Be it the ones while looking at Khuhsi in Awe, or when he sees the Raizada Woman cheer and Dance to Chikni Chameli (Today's Episode), or the ones when Nani asks Arnav to play Ranjha.......Barun gives some of the most fabulous expressions ever........

All in all the only Scene which kept the audience Intrigued would be the one where Shyam's Holy Dhaaga gets tangled and caught upon ASR's cupboard. But then the million dollar question is how long before the truth comes out......???

The episode was a filler, with nothing to offer in terms of story or acting, It was simply an amalgamation of Moments, which would have looked more beautiful and logical had it been interspersed with a Proper story which seems to have taken a set back in the show......Lets hope that tomorrow,  Is Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon, would have something better to offer......And the new age Heer (Khushi) and Ranjha (Arnav) would write a new Epic Love story of their own......
