Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon Ek Baar | Phir

This paper analyzes Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Ek Baar Phir (2013), the second installment of the IPKKND franchise produced by StarPlus. While the series serves as a spiritual sequel rather than a direct continuation, it retains the core tropes of the original: enemies-to-lovers romance, familial intrigue, and the titular philosophical question of labeling love. This paper argues that the show’s narrative tension derives from a deliberate re-gendering of the original’s power dynamics—replacing the arrogant male protagonist with an arrogant female protagonist (Aastha) and the docile female with a sensitive male (Shlok). Furthermore, it examines how the series navigated the pressures of pre-existing fandom (“Barunians”) and the constraints of the Indian primetime soap opera format. Ultimately, the paper posits that while the series failed to recapture the original’s cultural lightning rod status, it succeeded as a meta-commentary on performative gender roles in modern Indian arranged marriages.

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Ek Baar Phir is best understood as a televised thought experiment. It challenged the patriarchal bedrock of Indian romance by asking: Can a woman be emotionally unavailable and still deserve love? Can a man be vulnerable and still be heroic? The answer, based on its middling ratings and the subsequent return to traditional male-angst narratives in later seasons (IPKKND 3), was a tentative “no” for mainstream audiences. However, as a cult artifact, it remains vital for scholars studying the boundaries of gender performance in Indian popular culture. The show did not succeed in becoming a classic, but it succeeded in proving how rigid the genre’s expectations truly are. Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon Ek Baar Phir
