Am going with Hgg's YT links... It worked alright last night... :-) My earlier problem seems to have been caused by local network issues like i'd suspected

Note - The other link I posted is good quality, but seems to have be an abridged version. Total length - 10 hrs 40 mins. I noticed after watching for 30-odd mins that I was at Episode 3!

MZZB is much more sophisticated than anything I've ever seen on Indian TV. And the sophistication is evident not in any fancy tricks but speaks through the conceptualisation, script, and cinematic techniques used. For example the depiction of Saba's character and story through different other members of her family but not her own daughter - wonderfully done. Cutting between the FB's and the present day, building the curiosity about Saba and her connection with Afreen, the script is indeed classy and tight as Smrth had said... The story appears to be really coherent, (among other factors, because no one has obviously tampered with it for TRP reasons!)

I dont think this is a product in anyway comparable to our TV version of SC. For one thing the TV version of SC has a limited scope - it does not cover two generations at least not in any significant way! The narration is mostly linear, and the script, well, my lips are sealed...🤬

The cast is amazing... I especially like the actresses who play Saba and Sara - they make a very viable mother-daughter pair!

Thanks to Smrth for the recco...😃

Edit - even our discussion about the title just goes to prove that there are nuances here, you can take different meanings at once and be right both ways! Stuff of cryptic crosswords - love it.

Woh bolne ka lehza, woh mithas woh nazakat,

Kaanon main ras gholti hai yeh zubaan

Ek soz hai ek lachak hai ek andaaz hai

Dil ko choo leti hai yeh zubaan

So, doston, apni Hindi ko improve karlo

Kyon ki angrezi main baat nahi hogi mujhse

Episode 1 :

Ek kissa aisa jiska

Aagaz hua anjaam se

Ek rishta jiska ka janam hua

Kisi ke inteqal se

Kuan thi woh jise sab bhool chuke the

Par sab ke zehen main kante ki tarah chubh rahi thi Jo

Kyon door kar diya apnon ne usko

Jis ki Maut ka dukh itna rula gaya unhain

Sawaal kayee, jawaab abhi aaye nahi

Paheli ki tarah uljha gaya Saba ka vajood !

So the MZZB journey begins.

We met the key characters

And also met the ghost of Saba

What stood out - the absence of any colors

The black and white clothes

That they were all wearing

Half of them in white

And others in black

Bleak, serious, mournful

Like the tone of the episode

Of course, it was just the first episode

I still have to still get to know Arfeen, haider, Sara and Saba better

But loved the first episode

Heylo, 😳 have not been able to watch any episode yet... hopefully next week when life gets a little calmer.

I am guessing we can not talk about the other show here😳 I am still reeling from what I watched it today and let them have my feedback😆
