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...š¤
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...š
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 superheroš¤ ...again, loved the way the driver jumped off the vehicle...some things are just perfect.š
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...šš
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!š
All the best, humsafars...as we embark on another journey to answer Iss Pyar ko kya naam doon and try to say Qubool Hai...š³
Allah Knows! š¤There! That sounds so much more better already!š
PS: I think most of us are here because of Gul- Love her, hate her...U can't ignore her!š Actually quite surprised at the turn out in this forum...š¤
...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!š² Such people deserve the 'Sharks' they themselves create in nonchalance!(Did I just start justifying the hero???š)
