Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? – Season 2 , subtitled Ek Baar Phir (Once Again), is an Indian Hindi-language romantic drama television series that aired on StarPlus from November 2013 to September 2014. Produced by Gul Khan under the banner 4 Lions Films, the season attempted to capture the success of its predecessor (Season 1, 2011-2012) by introducing a new storyline, lead pair, and setting. While it received a positive initial response due to its high production values, fresh chemistry, and intriguing plot, it ultimately faced challenges in sustaining ratings and concluded earlier than expected. The season is notable for its bold (for its time) portrayal of an age-gap marriage and mature romantic themes.
★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) – Commendable for its attempt, but flawed in execution and longevity. Note: This report is based on available broadcast data, fan archives, and critical reviews of the show as of its original run. iss pyaar ko kya naam season 2
The show was originally meant to run for a year but ended prematurely after 94 episodes. The final track involving the replacement lead failed to revive interest. The series concluded with Avni and the new Shlok reuniting, but viewers largely felt the magic was lost after Avinesh Rekhi’s departure. Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon
