Hello Friends,
I am new to watching daily soaps. The only other I watched was MEIEJ and I left that one voluntarily. I had never heard of Harshad Chopra before. I was blissfully ignorant about everything so my experience about what works for a daily serial is pretty much limited.
I want to applaud HS Team's attempt to tackle this subject first of all. The fact that they were not able to give it the treatment that it deserved is what caused an abrupt end I feel.
I loved the background music. Quite melodious and mood building.
Harshad Chopra- Phenomenal actor who brought SAC to life and carried him till the very end with grace, style and intensity SAC demanded off of him. A ruthless businessman who is a poet at heart is an irresistible and rare combination.
Shivya - Definitely a very long way to go but she could not have asked for a better dbut against someone like HC. A great learning experience methinks.
Shehban -Again, never heard of him before. His character was too choppy for me and I couldn't really connect to him. Maybe because of his penchant for copying SRK which grated on my nerves. Nothing against the actor.
Of course Parveen Shakir's poetry which IMO was not used as liberally as it should have. This show probably was not meant to have any comic relief given the storyline though KA's antics kind of fulfilled that category.
For me, all SaAz scenes are special. Each one has its own magic which SP and HC were able to bring out and keep me engaged.
I sincerely feel that even if this serial ended with about 100 or so episodes, I will still take it over 1000 episodes of mind numbing droning, leaps and what not. Only the good die young as Billy Joel says..
Of course your sushpectives, Shweta's amazing collages, Jyoti's posts, Perly's poems and all other writers povs is what kept me glued in here.
It was a short ride for sure but I enjoyed it. Not all experiments work but if PH can learn from it and not shy away from tackling it in the future, I would say, Humsafars probably served its purpose then.
My best wishes to the entire HS Team.
