@Sush,
Message about Humsafars :
I hav already written a lot about the serial so I am at my wits end now that the serial is finally approaching closure. I feel sad for the technicians/assistants who may be out of work or may not get their dues (Godrej sponsor in between - was there lack of funds with the PH??). About the ace actors in this show, am sure they will find their next venture very soon! Touch wood!
I thought it best to ask few questions and then find answers :
- Why did I watch the show Humsafars?
I liked the arrogant and bearded look of the lead protagonist. Deep set eyes, hairstyle, brooding look, very different from the usual clean shaven heroes that you see on the big screen. The tagline was also interesting - two opposites - love story - muslim backdrop -fashion world, all looked very intriguing. "Thoda hatke!!" 😃 So I watched and was fascinated. The female protagonist looked simple and sweet. So I waited to see how the opposites attract. 😃😃
2. The most loved scene (s). Which was it?
a) I hav been surrounded by arrogant men in the corporate world. As the years go by, you learn to deal with it and also end up making great friends with the same people. I believe its your positive outlook and nature and intelligence that can change things around you. So my best scene was when Saahir tells Aarzoo," ...Kal se yeh tent pehenke mat aana. Salah nahin order hain" and her classic, unflinching retort,"...Humein apna libaas badalne ki zaroorat nahin hain. Aapko apni soch badalne ki zaroorat hain. Order nahin, salah hain!!" Saahir's shock at hearing this (how dare she? type look) it was clap worthy. 👏👏👏
b) The door opening scene where Saahir calls Aarzoo and she thinks its for some discussion, but after she opens the door, he just struts off arrogantly w/out a backward glance leaving her high and dry.
c) When Saahir goes to meet a sleeping Aarzoo after the molestation incident. It was touching.
d) When Saahir pleads with Alvira to make Aarzoo stay back at Niyamat House. I felt sad.
I hav lost count...
3. Which dialogue did you love the most?
There were many. The airplane meeting, (I didn't know that ignoring someone is such a big crime!) 😃, the monologues by both the leads, the "Chand" dialogues /shayaris, Dialogues with Asharfi, Saahir's threat, His jealously and dialogues with Zaks /Rehmaan, all are noteworthy.
4. Did you like the pairing? Would you like to see them again on screen someday?
The pairing is the PH/ Creatives or Directors choice. Here the chemistry was good. Shivya was lucky to hav kicked off her maiden venture with an experienced actor. Hmm...I don't know. Now the trend is to hav "anokha" pairings - the latest is Deepika and Irrfan Khan. I always like something different. 😊
5. How would you like the story to end?
Saahir can give up Saiyyara and Niyamat House to their rightful owners and walk away with Aarzoo in hand to a new sunrise. With his contacts, hard work, business acumen and Aarzoo's designerbaaz confidence, they can start afresh. All the ghosts of the past can be left behind as they begin a new life as "Humsafars".
6. Will you watch "Humsafars" again if there is repeat telecast on some other Channel?
Nope. As a viewer, for me, the story ends next week and I don't know how it will end. There were too many faults in this show - be it storyline, continuity, consistency, editing, direction. The viewers forgave the PH and I hope Gul Khan is learning from her mistakes.
My takeaways :
Background score : Brilliant. It was refreshing and soothing. Raju Singh deserves a thundering applause. 👏👏👏👏

The Forum and Forumites : Delightful, addictive, insightful and true-blue fans of Harshad Chopda. I was truly amazed at the fandom here. For someone like me, who is an avid movie goer and can talk about cinema for days together, but doesn't bother to take an autograph or follow any celebrities on Twitter /FB, this forum was an eye-opener. I was stumped at the humour unleashed here, the frankness, honesty and ranting at every episode. I realized that Harshad Chopda is something BIG, so didn't dare to criticize him. 😃😃 For the unassuming, selfless, loving and praiseworthy fans of Harshad Chopda in this forum - Take a bow.
That's it from me.
Lets all look forward to a classic ending. 👍🏼
