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???😕)

The comparisons are inevitable , all that is required is to watch one show from the PH😉 Having said that, going by the posts Gul is one of the main reasons online IF viewers have are sampling the show.

Satyanash is guaranteed down the line and you need to know when to step out before you get sucked in... but her name has more outreach than either of the leading actors of this show combined and that is saying something😃

This is where it begins...how it begins...The Director is the King! 😉

Down the line, I wonder when the focus will shift to the stars, and we forget how it all began!

But like U agreed, the most curious thing about this forum is how the turnout has been for Gul! Looks like she succeeded in making herself into a brand!😆

Jaani isse kehte hain Mohabbat e Gul.
The episode was a 3.5 for me.
A first episode at 3.5 is pretty awesome.
SAC has darkness inside him. Why is he so ruthless.
Once the mystery will unravel we will get a better idea.
But fikr not... Arzoo ki Roshni hai na SAC ki andheri zindagi ko Gulzar karne ke liye...

GK ... not again... please Mukammil anjaam tak pahunch ana is baar is kahani ko...

Hey Chick...so good to see so many new faces here. I am here only for the old friends and to start a show from scratch so that there is a "home forum" for me.
I found Arzoo and her acting Okayish. Maybe it was her first day and hence...she may still grow on me.

The parallels with ZGH are there and they are marked. Also the fact that it became so popular in India that it has already been aired twice is working against Humsafars. People will catch the parallels

Agree with you about the non existent parallel track. but too soon to say.

Coming to the ML, Sahir, I am not sure what he is but he is definitely not dishy like other Gul heros barring KVB. Yeh KVB has his own charm. I have seen HC before and liked him so I know things will get better in the looks department.

His non-chalance towards the elders and poor...that could be his background story. Hopefully we move away parents in extra marital affairs being the heros undoing. Or maybe it will still have that angle.

Overall the first episode was okay for me...

I see a lot of Qh forum members 😆
We have not learned our lesson.
But the first episode was pretty good, even though my expectations were quite low.
Sahir chaudhry! He's very intriguing. Much more than other Gul heroes. So I'm quite interested in his back story! HC is pretty good!

Soup😳
I got your post I am sooo happy🤗

Yeah! The first day is good. I'll not say mindblowing but it was pretty good.
Shivya is pretty and very good as a newbie, she'll improve😛
I actually liked Harshad. It's my first Harshad show and I liked him. His voice is very nice😳 quite fit into 4lions hero category😆
The moment of the day as you said above is my Fav moment of the 1st episode also.
I liked the camera angle the execution of the scene and that last look from Sahir as well😳

So we r here to enjoy the show with some old friends, I am liking this😳

Going for a holiday tomorrow will be back on Monday. Till then take care.
Love you🤗

impressive start by Gul

some scenes will be repeated from its past show when more than one show is produced from same PH with same set of CVs. they consider those repeated scenes are the strength of their show.

with new set of actors and actress it always gives a fresh looks for viewers. but for fans it is little irritating because fans linked that scene with that particular couple.

all Gul's leads always have their own charm in their own style. I wanted to see HC in this rough avatar for long. so I'm okay with his attitude. but I want him to keep this rough nature till the end even after falling in love. I don't want to see him to take 360degree turn to romance.

Shivya is confident and doing her job well. female lead family has bunch of females and Sahir has full family with bhabi and all.

Nowadays more attention given to leads. others disappears after sometime. This show has very talented bunch of actors/actress. Instead of focusing too much on the leads, If each and every character in the show is given importance then we can see some new atmosphere in this show. hope Gul considers this.

Yes it's difficult to ignore Gul, evn tho the outcome is known to us before hand 😆
Tbh the epi was ALL clichs for me...(I was murmuring to the screen Gul plz show something new!)...till we gt to the Moment of the Day in yr post. ... that was the moment it picked up fr me, got me interested. ...

The Female Lead & her sister's need to improve, the second one is okay, or their scenes loose impact.

Apart from HC none of the cast members have impressed me as of yet, so I'm hoping SAC family will consist of good actors.

Despite all this im still in for the journey of thesw two Humsafars. 😳
