I quickly skimmed through the whole episode which is definitely not a good way of watching a show. I mean I'm watching this show for the 2 guys and I've taken that quite literally. Nevertheless I was happy to see that we've moved forward and they will be getting married...of course expect lots of protests from the daughters and the mom to stop this marriage. Now though they should just be transported to the village asap. I mean their story in England or wherever else they are in the Western world, is quite done with. We know how Sanam is now. No surprise there.

I loved how Imran is shown to be this great lover of Urdu because he is quite like that in real life, and after watching the first episode I knew he'd be the only good Urdu speaker. Missed Fawad today and while I expect more from him, up till now I think Imran's role is my favorite character. They really do need to move all the characters to Pakistan because we see very little of the two guys. I mean come on we've been seeing more of that Indian storekeeper than of Akbar and Asghar!

Overall not much of a fan of this show...as Binu said in the previous thread, if it were not for the actors I wouldn't be watching this show. Nevertheless I do still have some hopes since I know this is just the start. I'll be watching more thoroughly once the main protagonists start interacting with each other.

And oh Humaima should tone down on the makeup. Bright red lipstick seems a bit too much. In terms of the story, I think she's beginning to suspect something's up with her virtuous sister...and if not then she ought to.

I had a feeling this one will be a disappointment too..🤔 Haven't seen it yet but I dont even want to now..🥱🤔

^Aliza just watch the Imran Abbas scene if you wish. But ya otherwise nothing major happened except for the whole marriage thing.

Overall it was an okay funny episode for me..im not complaining yet for not showing the 4 main leads much, bc i understand this is just the intro..the highlight of the episode was the guys mom..suprisingly she was really funny..and also i LAUGHED so hard when Imran was saying Ah Ah Ah 😆, and im not a huge Imran fan, but i reallyyy like his role in this..

I was surprised Fawad wasnt in the episode..and did you guys catch in Imran's interview how Fawad and him had the least scenes with him? n had more time spent with Sanam? =/ thats confusing..Noor asked her who was the most fun working with n he only mention the two girls name n another guy..i have a feeling Fawad might not be in this much..or his scenes were shot at another time..WHAT do u guys think?????

@sert 😆 i tottally agree with u, at the night scene she had too much make up 😆..but i loved her line when she said she is interested in LIFE 😆

Sanam is really annoying me..i dislike ppl who r like her, n get away with everything..n r just fake..but im glad they actually shown a character like her..so the adults can SEE that this happens..

Boring. Why are they wasting soo much time on Kim? I mean, we get it ... how she is, how she doesn't like her in-laws... move on. And am I the only one finding every scene sorta ... random ... like Asghari-Raj scene, there's like no flow in the storytelling. Things pop up from nowhere. Next episode looks quite skip worthy as well ... I'm just gonna wait until these girls go back to Pak and the actual story starts.

Raju really you liked the 'life' scene? I thought it was a bit cliched and whatever the case, as Binu said, we already know how the characters are. They should really get moving and if they need to stall then maybe tell us a bit more about Akbar and Asghar? I mean up till now we've only have 1 scene of Asghar aka Fawad Khan and so we know he's just a flirt, while his brother is a studious, principled and very religious teacher.

Going by the preview, I still don't think they're gonna arrive in Pakistan anytime soon. It's just sad though since Haissam did a very good job with Dastaan. I mean by episode 7 or so, they had fallen in love, gotten engaged, shown the differences in ideologies between family members, and separated the two lovers.

Well despite some X-factor sort of thing missing in the episode, I still enjoyed it. And I am still looking forward for the next one. Some of the scenes and dialogues were entertaining like when Shaheen's husband Luqmaan himself watches dances and songs and then starts cursing the media as soon as Shaheen comes in...
And I liked the way they are showing the actual life style and its associated problems of people who live in foreign instead of just showing large mansions and luxurious lives.
