Unless they all come free😆

Actually seeing the SBB..SBS etc he seems to be shooting alright...are they deliberately showing less of him then😕

yea...coz we get a segment almost everyday so basically he is shooting everyday

so what can be the reason of this deliberate attempt?

Doesn't make any sense whatsoever..

And the challenge is totally against whatever we have seen of Sahir so far... He didn't do anything even when she hit him.. Why would he bother about her words now... No justification for why he would mind her words now.. Are they trying to say her opinion matters so he is reacting?
Why?


did u see the sbs?
apparently sahir is seated in the mall to😳

i beyond my understanding!

Well at least they are spoiling it from the beginning 🤣 instead of creating magic then trying to remain consistent with the created magic and instead spoling it 😆

Yes..I saw SBS..
I understood it as...from what HC explained...that Arzoo is unable to sell the clothes and then Sahir comes there and seeing him the crowd gathers! Or he tells her some marketing gimmicks or something...definitely the brand charm works! That's why Sahir is there!

But I am sure it will be for like 45 seconds...before that we have sarfaraz nonsense😕

I think most of the pts have been raised butjust reiterating a few bits ...

1)Editing - Can we pls have the flow and continuity in Saaz scenes please ,I mean they are yr leads and not Anam ,KA etc

2)Less Focus on the leads :Humsafars are essentially Arzoo and Saahir and not the extra baggage baraat of villians.

3)Less Focus on Saahir - he is the deal clincher for them and they dont seem to realise whats the pt of promoting him on fb etc when u dont want to show him where it matters.

4) The lack of chemistry which is a hall mark of 4L and the chars here have that potential which is going waste.

5)..whats the aim and pt really of this show ..its all very vague at the moment ...whats the usp ? I dont know ,do they makers know ?


Two strong confused leads someone ask CV's to watch Zindagi gulzar hai and lift of some ideas please ...bec they r making a hotch potch here & give these two leads and this show to SP and they will show you how to make a brand out of them and make them a hit 😆😆

Being an ardent HCian, I am unable to give up on watching this show but believe me it has been a nightmare... I had a lot of expectations from this show and none seems to be fulfilled. To me the following should be fixed - story & screenplay:
1. The focus should be on the leads and their journey. All the other side tracks somehow should weave into the main track which is the leads being potential Humsafars... As of now what we see is the opposite, the side characters are getting more prominence and not one of them is good other than Zaki...

2. Too many side characters - SAC has a family full of people and then they had to get a nanny as well... That Kurti Appa is 😡 I wonder what kind of hold she has on the family that despite being asked to stay in the servant room, she wields command as if she is the head of the house. ANK family also has too many members including the tota... Then there is Nausheen's estranged husband + the people @ Saiyyara. Instead of trying to create a khichdi of all these characters, they could have kept a small ensemble cast and used them effectively

3. Cheap side tracks - almost all the tracks leading to MU between the leads are petty and unimaginative... the terrorist thing at airport, the odd jobs that ANK is asked to do as if she was hired as a office-boy oops office-girl, chori of designs, getting caught in a rave party etc etc... Creatives (?????) - where is the creativity

4. Unrealistic setup at office and work. The office does not look like an office and home is not a home

5. Inconsistent characterization - the less said about it the better .. unable to create chemistry between actors.

6. All negative tracks 😡

I think the makers of this show have forgotten that Harshad Chopda is the main lead of their show and not the lead actor in SBS/SBB etc... He seems to get more screen space there than in the show.

Pooja - do not ask them to look at ZGH please... 😆 They already have and taken all the inspiration they wanted! 😛
Honestly, I am disappointed!

too much focus on bugs bunny witch and anam...negative issues
less scenes of sahir...he seems like a guest...a veteran actor like harshad doesn't deserve such treatment
chemistry is not propery develop b/w Saaz as they have less scenes together
the focus is on each and every people in the show except for the main leads Saaz...especially Sahir...the show title is Humsafars...the show and title have no link with each other

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!


They are trying to run all negative tracks in parallel and this is a bad concoction. They could have focused on max 2 negative tracks at a time... too much negativity and kitchen politics

As I have said they could have shown Arzoo do some good things as well... atleast 1 right for 2 wrongs for Sahir to give her a chance... as of now the story lacka logic and imagiatoon

Enuff rant for today

HC... SAC ❤️
