What I meant is apart from both leads chemistry they don't see anything else. No comments on individual tracks

I have mixed feelings towards this drama because the concept had tremendous potential but the execution couldn't live up to it.

It sought to be a twist on Romeo and Juliet with a dash of Godfather but the plot could neither build the momentum nor ride on it. I would have enjoyed it better if both Nauroz and Nawab had either been killed off or put out of commission for good towards the end of the first act with Ana and Shahmir completely taking over from them and carrying on the enmity while grappling with their feelings for each other. Their romance and subsequent angst also needed some time to marinate and be explored properly. Keeping the fathers alive until the last moment and dragging their arcs stunted the development of the kids' characters.

Also, Nimra's whole suffering feels gratuitous because there hasn't been any proper closure to it. Honestly, I was rather expecting her to stay on at Nawab's place, turn him and his wife into her bitches and take over along with Ana. Later, she and Ana could have become a formidable team against Nauroz after Nawab's 'accidental' death.

@bold - They forgot Nimra is still married to Nawab. We don't see new development from the last 2-3 episodes

U know once I got a reply to my YT comment on the episode that what Nauroz did with Nimra "vo to gairat ki baat thi" 😣 It made me so sick. Nimra is his daughter and he did that. Also hasn't it been established that he was fully aware of Nayab being manipulated by Aurangzeb who also planned the market attack that led to the turn of events that got him kill? So he's responsible for that too - despite KNOWING that Aurangzeb will get him killed. He cared more about the game than his son. That's the kind of father Nauroz Adam is. And people are like Shahmir is stupid that he can't see his father's love over a ladki. What love!? And it has also been established that he hits his wife who btw is the nicest woman "Agar jawan beta kamre me nhi hota, to mera haath uth jata" . What he did to Furqan and Shamsher, playing the Qasais- vo kisi ka saga nhi hai. How can people not see it?

Some members of the audience have selective vision. They’re desperate to find a hero in this show since Nawab is clearly evil, Shahmir refuses to do anything wrong no matter what and Ana is a woman.

Bus aik Nauroz hi bachta hai en idiots ke liye

But the editing and direction have impacted their scenes as well. The white dress walk scene was so abruptly placed in the middle and even cut - there were close up shots of them laughing in the OST which were not shown. Some unnecessary drone shots replaced close up shots.

And the burqa scene- when Shahmir says "aisi saza di hai ki hume zindagi bhar sath guzarni padegi" , the camera focused on his backside from a distance instead of showing his face when it was supposed to be a suggestive scene.

Also in the first episode when Khushhal specifically did the jump on his own- such a risky stunt, after the stab , the camera zoomed out and his face was blurred.

Hmm these haven’t bothered me as such? I was a bit surprised that the close shot of their walk wasn’t included since even the precap included it but otherwise the other ones didn’t register. I mean I loved the scene where she comes back and apologises - that whole scene was quite wholesome. Then his mom coming to see her. I liked it overall.

Agree about episode 1 wala. The close up was needed there before he fell and more focus on their faces. It felt rushed.

But idk considering everything else I feel Ana Shahmir scenes get better attention. I’ve loved so many of them. Probably 90% have been absolutely dreamy Shayad direction kum aur K and R ka zyada kamaal hai but whatever it is I enjoyed the end results

I don't want them to get the satisfaction of winning either. They should be killed by someone who is insignificant in their eyes.

My options for Nawab's killer- New wife, Nimra, Ana (not insignificant but his blood ending him)

Nauroz- Mir Hasan, or random policeman/ goon

Mir Hasan is getting kidnapped by Nauroz tomorrow so maybe he will be the one to kill Nauroz in the end. His comeback

As long as he saves Ana Shahmir somehow I am ready for anything and everything I mean these idiots Nauroz and Nawab are escaping poison and bullets left right and center and I’m supposed to just accept a couple of bullets would kill Ana Shahmir? No way

Most people who criticize Ana sound like they are projecting their breakup on her. Even I have issues but those are logical- she falling for Nawab's lies when there are obvious gaps in the story (she's smart we know that). I also have an issue with Shahmir being told everything that is going on by Nauroz when those things were easy to figure out. These things make them more of the pawns in the game (which was always true) than the player and their evil dads are game changers hence the crowd favorite bcz this genre is about the game - Duniyapur getting saved is the end note and these dads can v obviously not be a part of it. Ana has also been a game changer and I had full hopes on her out smarting Nawab. Still hope she surprises us again.

Shahmir is the one person who always chooses the right path no matter what others do- and I love him for that. He's my absolute favourite ML and I love that he stays true to his principles. But he can't forever be the pawn. I understand that he sees the best in people but that doesn't mean distributing trust like it's on wholesale. I don't want him to change but he can see these things without being told about them by Nauroz and bring treated like a nasamajh bacha constantly. Him knowing everything on his own and still choosing the right path and his own way of survival and safety would perfectly reinforce that Duniyapur doesn't need a fake messiah like Nauroz.

Ana and Shahmir are people who actually care about others. But the poor people and Qasais have a bad image of Ana (credit: Nawab). It's unfair. Ana giving that gun to the new bride gave me so much relief today- I wish she could help her better but now she's also being used by her dad (she's both his source of power and a tool to him at this point and he can't be controlled unlike our previous assumption) Ana has done so many past actions, just out of a hope for reestablishing peace, with no gain to herself & that alone is enough to establish her as a hero. Now she has chosen revenge ending in sacrifice of her own life. I understand that but I hope that she also plans to actually not let Nawab get his way afterwards like he did with this girl and not leave him with power bcz Nawab is responsible for ruining her image and life

Shahmir's love is unexpecting and I love it but I also wish we could see some semblance of concern for him from Ana's side. She acts like she doesn't care. I get that her priorities are different but what I want is a scene where we get to see her just caring about giving him up- being emotional remembering him even if alone bcz she is his absolute priority.

I feel like they’re being used as pawns now BECAUSE they’ll surprise us at the end. One can hope. The way this world is set up, literally anything can happen. So fingers crossed

A sad ending doesn't make sense in Duniyapur bcz it has been sad throughout. The conclusion should be satisfactory after all this.

If they give me a happy ending this show is gonna become timeless for me Otherwise I’m gonna hate this writer forever lol

Kuch tou hope de do. Sick of Nauroz and Nawab winning all the time.

It’s fine other reviewers discuss the plots in detail. SH is just one
