4 lions...is it that tough to understand?

here's what "good work" would've looked like yesterday

epi starts with sahir asking aarzoo to stay away from him...aarzoo wondering y sahir did that...both spending a sleepless night...under the same tree...cut to morning...getting out of the jungle...coming home...all without a word spoken to each other...ppl at home all worried...but seeing them safe...no further questions asked...

(this full shot could've been done in 3 minutes flat...not a very high price asked considering u spend so much time covering kurti from all possible angles😳

cut to sahir punishing himself in his bedroom...

and nausheen getting an attack minus sarfaraaz drama...if she is ill...she doesn't need an outer source to trigger her so called daura's...plus...nausheen is a kidney patient right? who as per aarzoo is undergoing dialysis...so how come nausheen never went for a dialysis after coming to mumbai? dialysis is generally done thrice a week...how come u guys r not paying attention to details?

then kurti directing aarzoo to bombay hospital...2 min...kurti informing anam...1 minute...and then...anam informing farah...another 1 minute...this whole vamp drama could've been sorted in 5 minutes flat...and u guys wasted one full epi on it😳

this was the first epi in the new time slot...and it was a waste...get ur priorities right...what or shall i say who is your target audience?...

aunties and mummies who r usy making rotis at 8:30 pm...so that they can finish work fast and catch diya aur baati at 9 pm?...if they r ur target audirnce...sorry but u've landed in the wrong time slot...should've aimed for a direct 9 pm...to compete with that drama...

and if u r targetting the youth...this is not the epi u dish out...this kind of epi does not cater to their taste...period!...its gross...its below standard...youth feed on romance and passion...they have brains to connect dots...and if u show such epis which make no sense atall...u r in for a total loss... harshad..or shivya alone cannot save ur show...u have good actors at ur disposal...learn to use them...

is it that tough to maintain continuity...edit the epis properly?

i don't think so!

They just refuse to learn don't they? Lack of flow and consistency coupled with poor scripting is the name of this show ... period!!!

For me the beating scene could have been shown later may be after hospital hug ... because he already took out his anger for jungle one by being axe man didn't he? So what was the point in beating himself again?

Perfect. Even I was expecting that they would find their way back home (possibly lift mangke) stealing glances to each other, and generally showing off their indifference.

Also agree with Soaps Di that the whipping scene should have come after the hug. It makes more sense. Whatever happened in the jungle was pure survival instinct, and it in only today in the hug scene is Sahir going to feel passion towards Arzoo (and surrender himself)

You summed it all up perfectly...high time they did some homework and corrected the continuity issues!

It's like all leads scenes have to be choppy and the camera had to jump to KA and Alviras chess games.

Yesterday Anams conversation with farah took up an unpardonable amount of screen time😡.

That conversation between Nausheen and sarfaraz was totally unnecessary...agreed that she could have fallen sick because of the previous nights convo itself...and btw it doesn't even make sense for sarfaraz to expect she would have spoken to Alvira overnight and call and blast her again!!

A very poorly thought out scene to get Arzoo to hospital at the same time as Sahir! Yes...Nausheen could have simply gone for dialysis to that place...so simple! Much less time would have been needed!

Horrible start to the new time slot...and with Friday episodes slated to come up they need to have more screen space for tbe leads pronto!

The first scene...was disturbing,,.very disturbing more so because it didn't make sense...as did nothing else in tbe epi!

Very well said.. 👏 agreed to everything u say.. They wasted the whole episode on KA and Anam and I seriously can't stand the actress playing Anam she can't act period 🥱

vandy you are very right. there is not continuity in the show when it comes to lead pair. they are just showing crap. i fear that may be channel wil axe the show if they keep doing like this. we all know usually the shows on sony tv won't run very long.

Completely agree with what you have written... and good analysis of what should have done by 4lions..

..this would be the worst episode so far i have seen on Humsafars.. whats up with the rush between the leads... if the story is about them then show the leads the most.. not the vamps... or else change the name of the show and concept...

i was expecting so much from this ep..i. after waiting for 3 days impatiently and they deliver these ep to us.. W*F.. they seriously never learn.. and i think this show shows more of vamps than in the other 4lions shows... if this continues in the future, its got a good reason to need to wrap in 3 months... no body is gonna invest their time, specially the youth to watch this utter crap..

Well said!!

And I didn't get the reason for the self-flagellation either. I get it that the CVs are kinky, only to be expected that creatives must stretch their comfort zones, otherwise how will they be creative. But last night was summink else altogether!!

Clearly the Da Vinci Code has left a mark on their minds - the nude Silas, whipping himself toe-curlingly, back-archingly, hair-raisingly until he drew blood. And hence we must suffer through a lift and paste in Humsafars.

Have to say that Sahir's half-nude take did nothing for me. No I lie. It brought up the bile. But it didn't make Sahir seem any sexier. It didn't turn me on. It didn't make me feel his pain and torment - I was more inclined to say: "stop silly, you're over-reacting! There, there, get a hot, sweet cuppa into you, and it won't seem quite so bad."

And for my patience I was rewarded this one tiny moment when I wondered if his toes curled whenever there was an excess of sensation.😉😃 But the next thwack and splat of saliva killed that train of thought. Ugh!

Please CVs, give us the intense romance you promised, not this forced darkness that does not convince.

Vandy and Tvbug2011...you guys are brilliant! We'll said.

Do the CVs and the PH think we are that dumb? Or maybe they think we are very smart and can connect the dots ourselves. Reminds me of the Fill in the blanks kind of questions in school. Why is it so difficult for them to get this right? Anyone would think that for a reputed PH like 4Lions this should come easy but no...after that cracker of an episode lastThursday, I had such tremendous expectations from Mondays episode...sigh !!

I think the PH would do well to hire Vandy and Tvbug2011 to script the remaining story. You guys are much more capable than them for sure 😃.
