seriously...we need to just sum up everything that has gone wrong with this show!

this is my first 4 lions show and i had a lot of expectations from it...but i am seriously disappointed!

first things first...gul khan not being a part of this show is definitely not working in favour of this show! She has to be at the helm of humsafars

her absence is stamped on each scene...each shot...each track... i had to watch her earlier shows on yt...and could make out the differences. why is gul not working on this show? is it that she's simply not interested? if yes...then y create a show for god's sake!

the editing team! it needs to be changed! period!

the editing team sucks...there is not smooth flow of scenes...and as ppl r pointing out...the shots seems to abrupt badly wen leads feature...and then...wherever there is kitchen politics...it just goes on and on!

u need to priortise

sahir...his absence...no establishing of his character...

seeing the epis...it just seems that scenes are not even being written for him...his presence is a mere eye candy kind of thing for the show...the basic idea being...keep showing a glimpse of him here n there...and ppl will watch it!

no...ppl r giving up on it

i have no idea why the cvs r doing this...they need to write out proper scenes where they establish his character...scenes where u throw an insight into him...he's the HERO of your show damnit! respect that atleast!

SaAz...No scenes between them

there has been zero effort on the part of creatives to establish SaAz as a couple...to develop their romantic chemistry

wen was the last time we saw a shot where um? dargah shot? and before that that chand scene...

u got to be kidding...esp wen u show is called "humsafars" and what is show is totally opposite of it...there is a dearth of scenes between the lead pair...

OTT melodrama

aarzoo's family is just😳

they keep repeating the same dialogues...frankly nobody is interested in the seekh's which dadi and nausheen give!

first they were shifted to mumbai too soon in the show...and if u guys r planning to make them permanent part of mumbai...cut down their scenes...one scene a week..is enough..esp wen none of them r part of the actual storyline of the show"a story of 2 imperfect ppl..coming together"

melodrama simply has no place in this storyline!

KUrti-Anam-Nausheen-Alvira-Zara

do u even realise how much nonsense u have in this show?

ek story toh properly dikha nahi sakte...u added zara proving herself to anam in this circus?😳

like really?

who exactly is writing the story? does the person even know what the actual planned storyline of this show ws? the show was marketted as "a passionate romantic saga" and all we get is "pessimist aapa with rondu nausheen and anam's nonsensical saga"

and...mellow down ur OTT villains...

the female playing anam can't act ...please don't kill ur screen time with her😳

priorities r things which are missing here!

a love triangle will not work..nor appeal the audience...ifatall the makers r aiming towards it...u first need to focus on the actual leads first...the triangle comes in later!

this is what i felt...incase u guys have anything more to add...plzzz comment! coz i'm sure each one of us has lots to add!

The screenplay is really pathetic, the situations are so contrived and there is no chemistry between the leads.

They have made a kichhidi of their earlier 3 successful shows (Geet, IPK and Qubool Hai) to serve a stale dish. At least in her other 3 shows, the chem between the leads was palpable from their very first scene together. Here the female lead, though pretty, really needs to improve a lot in the acting dept.

You covered all the issues pretty well!

I think the main issue is lack of screen space for Sahir...and little interaction between Sahir and Arzoo...that's the death knell for a show promoted as a love story! And in this scenario airing promos where Sahir suddenly questions his feelings and even better...suddenly asks himself if he is in love...just don't cut it..they just confuse the viewers more!

Monday episodes need to be more like what we had last week...atleast the leads were seen...the editing was better...yesterday's episode would likely put off people from watching the show...!

Too too many side characters...side according to the definition of the show,...but they are taking up most of the episode time! And none of them make any sense...

Anam...she hates Arzoo and wants her out as Alvira brought her...but the credit she gives herself is too much...and the acting is bad! However she probably is the only villain I understand as a villain for now... besides Alvira who may or may not be totally bad!

Besides these I don't see why there are so many characters..

Kurti is the worst... bad acting.. Doesn't make sense.. Repetitive... All negative.. Unnecessary melodrama! They haven't established why alvira tolerates her so it's really difficult to watch her!

Zara... why bring in her angle so soon... If at all then it should have been wrt zaki... not an am...too much time wasted!

I don't like Nausheen... especially as she is also repetitive.. Character not explained... Why is she this way.. Why lie about the rent... Why meet sarfaraz... why why

Sarfaraz and his wife... Looks like they will also get more screen time and that's not something to look forward to!

Over all Arzoos character falls flat for me... I don't feel any sympathy or empathy for her.. Because her actions are contrary to her great claims! If there is an attempt to make her look good by butchering sahir there will be even less empathy!

Mainly they need to start focusing on the leads! Get a start to the story... Decide if you are going to show love... Work towards it...

This is really choppy right now!

u r lucky!

my biggest problem is as long as hc's name is associated with this show...i can't give up...the actor in him forces me to bear all the crap just tto watch his magic on screen...which sadly lasts for only 2 minutes or maybe less!

i beg to differ...but chemistry is definitely there...it has not been exploited properly!

@ bold

seriously!

they are failing to create an interest for the viewers...the title of the show is not "kurti aapa ko anam ne laat kyu maari"

its humsafars...pppl want to see the leads!

side characters need to be used as side characters...their screen time should never exceed more than 4-5 minutes of a 22 min epi!

u know its like being called for an exclusive biryani party...and u r stuffed with raita and salad and achar...with a sprinkling of biryani on ur plate...just to re-instate the fact that yes...u did eat"biryani" at the biryani party!

Vandy I updated my post with further rants😆

And did you see tbe on location video of Arzoo selling clothes...again it's Arzoo and her sisters and then sarfaraz and his wife there ...icing on the cake...that track also is dedicated to everyone other than Sahir and arzoo😕

Maybe we will have Sahir for 2 minutes there too!
