Ok I know by now Ive bored many mannny people with the continuous rants and chants and gushing about the drama that aired last season - Jackson Heights⭐️ Cant help it really😳😆 but personally feel like an unofficial PR of this show😃😈 so more the people who watch it, the merrier for discussions and really want this one to get its due❤️
Due credit to payelwa for recommending it..(here's hoping to see you around here payel❤️❤️❤️)
One show which is not about shaadis, dusri biwi, teesrey bacchey, extra marital affairs, misunderstandings and junooni pyaar alone..but real people, real problems, heartfelt conversations, emotional turmoils and yes ofcourse, staying true to its tagline, its about love yes (but not restricted to majnu wala pyaar) but of all kinds and all forms and it does find its way<3
The behind the camera team
As much as the pak industry is blessed with some really talented actors, some of their directors and writers and other technicians are par excellence and are as much the stars!👏
With someone as good as mehreen jabbar helming affairs, who is amazing at what she does, specifically when she is given to deal with scripts dealing with ground realities..she guarantees freshness and bringing out an unmistakable charm and strong individualistic traits and graphs in her characters and seamless situational sifting through within the storyline
Vasay Chaudhary's quirky humour in his writing and probably his very own coming of age drama and trying his hand at a serious and emotional drama, which does wrap in wit and humour in a unique way, was very effective for me atleast..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Probably the strongest aspect of this drama was its terrific ensemble cast, one thing I admire about pak dramas, is that many multistarrer projects that are greenlit there and are performed to the T..i mean here most were big names and respectable actors/ actresses and still all came together for this one..and if one sees the BTS pics, they all seemed to have a gala time😛
for eg - 😆
There are two parallely running stories although all the characters are connected somehow, so divided character introduction into two parts:
+++++++++++++++++
Bhatti-salma-sikandar track
Nauman Eijaz as Bhatti saab is Class! this man can probably do anything!👏 Hai-Haan nai toh!😛😎 his dialect, his style as a desi cabbie, his hinglish😆 He is adorable here!
Aamina Sheikh - as Salma (ok if adeel-aamina are in a project, anyone is most likely to expect them to be the pair😳, but dude sadqay jaawaa for mehreen and vasay, the casting is so perfect here! her opposite nauman!) the complexities she brought out, her turmoil and conflicts! WOW!
Ali kazmi - as Sikandar, guys watch out for this guy, in an intense negative role, he was just outstanding, to hold your own against the talented cast, while being relatively new, is nothing short of amazement and there were many episodes where sikandar's performance outshined others!
PS - DK fans - he is rahat kazmi's son 😛😛
+++++++++++++
Michelle-Jamshed-Rizwan
Marina Khan - as Michelle! I swear it was nostalgia galore for me! I love this woman! our beloved zoya in a brand new avatar, as classy, as elegant as ever! this woman is a natural onscreen and has a bewitching screen presence and a smile and my girl crush forever😳 wont reveal much for this one, coz honestly I can go on and on about michelle track😆 for Malaal fans, there may be some similarity between michelle and zenia and differences galore as well
Adeel Hussain - as Jamshed - Jalebi junction alert!☺️ grey shades, dark character, entertaining as hell and full of swagger! phurrr! mummmy! after fawad's wali, its probably jamshed for me!☺️ he, as a character, can give so many a run for their money in flirting skills🤪 I d love a zaroon junaid vs jalebi jamshed..I swear the two boys would kill it together☺️
Adnan Jaffar - Rizwan! haan toh he is the ideal man, handsome, sophisticated and a dependable friend! again dont want to reveal much..but adeel-adnan chemistry is so strong! the undercurrents in their scenes were just so intense!
++++++++++++++
Along with the principal cast, just like ZGH, there are some lovable supporting characters too..salma's parlour owner aliya, bhatti's wife - cathy, bhatti and jamshed's naani amongst others <3
++++++++++++++++++++++++
and above all, the brilliant OST..sighs!
*Tere naal, tarna,
Tere naal doobna,
Tere naal jeena,
Tere naal marna <3*

Honestly dramas like these come once in a while, and even amidst some random dragging, trust me guys, you wont regret watching this show, because this probably has one of the most impactful and amazing finale episodes, which moves you and makes one feel for all characters, just so good😳! Its really worth it😳
PS - please no tamatars for this post🤣 if anybody has watched this show, request to pen down your thoughts on it - any view - amazing, good, bad, boring, not appealing - anything is welcome😛
