Last two months have been pretty taxing on us with insipid tracks, butchering of lead characters and heavy OTT scenes with absolutely no comic relief. Inspired by the new genre of the Humsafars, I decided to do my own investigation to find out who murdered the main love story. š
Yesterday I watched a few episodes of HS again, the initial ones, to see what was so different way back then. I realized i watched everything with a smile on my face. I saw the episode in which Arzoo throws her Jhumroo at Sahir..lol..š It was super hilarious, she had so much of spunk and despite Zaki's drunk act, the affection between the two brothers was just so evident. The scenes between SAAz were very natural and well executed. Arzoo's family troubles ran parallel but they didn't eat up the leads screen space, in fact everything was integrated so beautifully. Sahir's anger and OCD was fun to watch too, I remember all the posts that were created on his door opening scenesš
Even Anam and KA's scheming, though vampish, gave way to the amazing Jungle and hospital hug scenes. Lalit Mohan shot many of the episodes, no wonder we got such eye candy ones.
I checked the writers name, the first 53-54 episodes were written by a writer named Sufi and Rahil Qazi wrote the screen play. The Cvs changed the writer just around the Arzoo preggy track and brought in Harneet Singh and a new screen play writer. After that the whole scenario changed, The humor is all but gone and there are too many loose ends along with inconsistent characters. Zaki's obsessive OTT proposal and the subsequent Nikaah scene were the worst of them all.
No offence to the new writer or the new creative team but the I guess the inception team was way better because they had created the characters and knew what they thought and how they reacted. Maybe Harneet was told to write the characters with a different perspective, I can only give her a benefit of doubt, but the soul of the story is lost. I really miss the funny one liners of Arzoo, where she booed charas of everybody, and threatened to do ulti.
Maybe its time the Cvs added back the original writer to the creative team to help humsafar's get back on its promised love track instead of experimenting with new genres.
