meant to respond back earlier. so this drama is a bit confusing for me. I am not sure if shamsher is supposed to be negative or someone grey. so far all his actions are really negative and I don't see any redeeming qualities. even if they showed it later, it would feel a bit of a letdown like they are trying to whitewash this character. so I am not sure what to expect really.
if this was purely some fictional type story set in dramaland, we can sort of ignore the problematic behaviours. however, given the serious tone of the drama, it really does not sit well with me especially as I watch a lot of true crime docs. that kind of abusive control where the guy does not even listen to the girl and is constantly threatening her and her family is very uncomfortable to watch -- danish is doing a great job of creeping me out.
it also distresses me to think that shamsher might get some sort of happy ending with mehek and it feels like stockholm syndrome in the works possibly. if this is based on reality and true events, then it would be good for the audience to see a show where characters like shamsher and his family are taught a lesson, whether it is by other characters or just by divine hand. otherwise, it would be really tragic and seem that we just have to accept the abuse of the rich and influential.....
Shamsher has been called the villain multiple times in the show, but personally I feel his father is downright evil. Baba Sahab is the main villain.
As of now, Shamsher has no redeeming qualities. I guess the writer has even toned down the character from the original real life Shamsher. But since its based on real people...they are showing it the way it is. We think they picked up the basic premise and added a few subplots but that's about it.
We don't know if he's gonna get a Happy Ending. The makers haven't released any material from the second half of the show, but from what we have observed (lots of BTS content), there's more to come.
