Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon

If an Indian television show is featured in an Entertainment Weekly's article, then it must be good. If it's featured as the one of the shows that should be recreated for an American network, then obviously it's a must watch! For those of you who have seen the show, you know what I mean by "Hai Devimaiyya" when I see the on screen couple (Arnav & Khushi). The chemistry they share is something a lot of Hindi television shows have been missing. The core of any soap is romance. If there is no romance then the show is a flop and does not attract a wide range of viewers. This is definitely a show that brings the romance back from a long hiatus. I just wish Star Plus did not cancel the show. Barun Sobti need to come back so we can have season 2!

First, Little bit about me. I am currently unemployed for a while now. So sitting at home I watch tv series and movies all day. I have watched lots of great tv shows in my college days from crime dramas like Breaking Bad, Sopranos to comedies like Seinfeld, The Office etc. So you see, I have seen some superbly written stuff on the screen. IPKKYND is not one of them. I am an Indian and I hear a lot about quality of our hindi TV shows . One has to understand that the target audience is very different in case of these soap operas. You can't expect 'Sherlock' to be enjoyed by a audience that consists primarily of Moms, teenage girls who are looking for some entertainment. Secondly it is unfair to compare shows that are tightly written for 80-100 episodes with these tv shows that run for more than 400 episodes. So when I say IPKKND is very good serial ,I say it minding all these limitations. What works for this show is the chemistry between two leads and I have to say that, the director has exploited that a lot. Sometimes it seems Arnab and Khusi make eye contact for too long amidst an shot sequence that seems improbable in real life. A background tune comes every time they meet, (I have to admit that I really started liking it ,by the time show ended ) while camera moves around showing their faces. It amazes me that it never felt overdone (It might have to do with big crush I have on Sanaya) Apart from the two leads, small charecters are woven beautifully into the plot. Mamiji ,Buaji,NK, Nani ji all do justice to their role. My favourite is Buaji with her 'NandKishore', with Mamiji a close second. The show is far from perfect and around sixth season I wanted to quit watching . It seemed like they wanted to overstretch the show with some loose storylines. However I stuck to it as I really felt connected with the characters. All in all a show recommended to viewers who like romance with bits of comedy.

This serial is the most awesome i have seen in years.... from the cast to the producers, directors, writing and everyone!!... A wonderful storyline with all elements of humor, drama, emotion, anger, happiness, craziness, dance, and the most important for me at least ROMANCE... all that you'll wanna enjoy after a tiring day at work. I have been watching this show from day 1... 6th June 2011... its been more than a year now... I haven't missed a single episode since.

AMAZING CHEMISTRY between the leads... Barun Sobti & Sanaya Irani... awesome actors too. Can't take your eyes off when these two are on screen. BARUN SOBTI - " girls beware ... you'll lose your heart to him". This guy is amaziiing.... He makes you fall in love with him every time he appears on screen.

A special mention of the villain I LOVE to HATE..Shyam Manohar Jha (Abhaas Mehta is awesome in the role of Shyam).

Also a mention of NK aka Nandkishore played by Karan Goddwani... love his terrible Hindi! You won't stop laughing the moment this guy opens his mouth.

So guys go ahead and watch this wonderful show. I bet you'll get addicted to it forever.

To be very frank,I have less interest in watching TV serials.But Iss Pyaar Ko Kaya Naam Doon? (season1) is worth watching.Though it is finished in November,2012 ,I am enjoying it again online. After 'Dill Mill Gayye '(season1) I think it is the Best Romantic TV Serials ever made.Actually its the BEST. This story portrays two people from wildly different backgrounds and beliefs.Alongside a series of ideological warfare, LOVE develops between the two. Both are too arrogant and stubborn to reveal their feelings.After a bunch of tensions ,it ended in Sweet Happy Note.It goes beyond the so called LOVE-Affair conception. A must watch for all..of course for all romantic people.<3

"Such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable; always requiring new assurances from the object of its interest." The above lines might summarize the bottom line of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (IPKKND)however words might fall short to describe the beauty and depth of the love story of Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta. Love - hate stories have hit the Indian Film and Television industry but never before have we seen such a response to it.

Arnav Singh Raizada a.k.a ASR is your quintessential M & B anti-hero who comes across as ruthless and shrewd but is blessed with a heart of gold. No one managed to unveil the love in his heart except one woman, Khushi Kumari Gupta. Khushi is a woman with high moral values but likes to enjoy life and never lets the problems in her life get the better of her. They are as different as chalk and cheese but are in every way each other's better half.

IPKKND is the journey of discovery and unveiling's. It is Arnav and Khushi's journey to discovering true love. It is the unveiling of the ugly face of the world to Khushi and also the unveiling of a pure soul like Khushi to Arnav who had lost faith in humanity. It is the journey of a brother to save his sister from the clutches of a spineless villain alongside the unveiling of the high regard the love of his life has for him and his family. It is Arnav's discovery of him having the right to true love after his difficult life and to Khushi, it is the unveiling of the truth of her life.. The man who she reckons a beast is her handsome prince in reality.

IPKKND boasts of one of the most fabulous performance you will see, from the leads as well as the ensemble cast. Each character compliments the other and the end product is a show that will make history. Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani play Arnav and Khushi respectively. The actors have done other shows before but this particular show has taken their career to dizzying heights. Thir chemistry is electrifying and they have raised the bar of performance up several notches. It will be a while till any other actor will gain the love and undying support that these 2 amazing actors have achieved. Their humility and down to earth attitude sets them a class apart.

Watch this show if you want to witness the pain and joy of love. Watch this show if you want the best love story portrayed on celluloid. Watch it if you believe that "True love conquers all."
