The unavoidable comparisons were with IPKKND...only some vague reminders of QH, as of now.
1. Arzoo's entry- Reminded me of KKGSR- yet, very soon she got down to business and started preaching about merits of small town vs. Big Bad City...reminded me of some other shoiw I can't remember.
2. Felt Shivya needs to work a bit on voice modulation...but she seemed to have picked up by the end of the episode...looks like she has already slipped into the character.
3. Sahir: How is anyone supposed to fall in love with this man? ASR had a soft side he carefully hid...this guy is ruthless- the way he treated those poor labourers- don't remember any of Gul's heroes being so shockingly inconsiderate to helpless old people...
4. Supporting Cast: Not sure if I should keep a count...since very soon we will be seeing only one or two around.
Ammi: Aaliya's(Beintehaan) Mom Part 2. - Lookswise. Characterwise- Kashaf's ammi.
Sister 1: Easy on the eye and ears.
Sister 2: Nuzat Part 2. (Who said I didn't remember QH?)
Dadi: Unfortunate reminder of all the dadis of QH...but since the plot is contemporary', I hope she will not be subjected to various potions and powders...(Thank God there is no Tanveer! Looks like there is no scope for her here...)
Parrot: Lakshmiji reincarnated...Thank God again, there is no Billi around!
Misc Friends: ??
5. Did I hear Aman' and see a face? Sorry, didn't catch the exact name...
Overall feel: Slow start...but the foundation seems to be laid pretty OK ish...🤓
6. Bulldozer scene: Arzoo was paralysed by fear as she realised she was doomed-- the stunt had gone out of hand...loved the extra effect of the girl running in the bg with the court order...👏
Wondered how it was humanly possible to scoop out someone just like that from the jaws of ...bulldozer and carry them so effortlessly...but then, this is fiction and I am watching a superhero🤔 ...again, loved the way the driver jumped off the vehicle...some things are just perfect.😉
Moment of the day: The heroine being carried away, with the duppatta veiling her face ...and getting unceremoniously dropped ...all my questions about the qabiliyat of the hero answered there...😉😆
And another irrelevant question too early on in the show, crops up...If this show is competing with YHM...shouldn't Gul brush up on her parallel tracks? So far, I have not seen a single parallel track work in any of her previous shows!😕
All the best, humsafars...as we embark on another journey to answer Iss Pyar ko kya naam doon and try to say Qubool Hai...😳
Allah Knows! 🤔There! That sounds so much more better already!😉
PS: I think most of us are here because of Gul- Love her, hate her...U can't ignore her!😃 Actually quite surprised at the turn out in this forum...🤗
...And who else wanted to shake the onlookers gathered around to watch the drama...people get murdered..raped..run over...and no one lifts a finger!😲 Such people deserve the 'Sharks' they themselves create in nonchalance!(Did I just start justifying the hero???😕)
😆
