Except female oriented movies, almost all movies are written in male pov or from a general pov.
It's okay to write a story from the male perspective but tere bin is throwing the female lead under the bus in that process. The director and writer themselves are blaming meerab for the slap and the car accident when both of this happened because murtasim cannot keep his anger under check. They aren't holding him accountable for his own actions. His anger management issues are projected as machoism.
Most love stories we grew up watching are from male perspective. Even Kabir Singh which is made completely on the male perspective don't blame Preeti for Kabir's anger management issues and his self destruction mode. He was the sole reason for his own destruction. Dil se is also completely from a male perspective but the writing of the female lead is never compromised in the process, veer-zara movie is narrated by veer, kal ho na ho's story progresses through Aman but in none of this the fl is not unnecessarily sacrificed to elevate the male lead. Ranjaana is a movie entirely from the perspective of khundaan's one sided love for Zoya and a lot of people hated Zoya for what she did to khundan but the movie clearly showed why Zoya hated khundan and why she did what she did even though we never got any pov from zoya's side. Zoya's entire love for abhay's character was shown through a 2-3mins song.
Here, every justification for all of murtu's problematic act ends with blame on meerab's impulsiveness or naiveness or stupidity or brattiness. But murtasim is never held accountable for meerab's actions and reactions. Meerab fired at murtasim before the slap because murtasim tried to forcefully stop her multiple times, meerab ended up speaking at the punchayat because murtasim kept her in the dark, meerab pushed back murtu in the bed because he pulled her closer.
Movies are only 2-3hrs long and by the end they manages to show the perspective of the fl as well. But dramas are 30-40 episodes long and they cannot keep the pov of the fl completely unexplored till the last episode. If they dedicate 5 episodes on the pov of the ml then they should dedicate atleast 10mins on the fls pov when it's a love story. Everything we know about meerab are our own analysis and assumptions and not something shown to us by the makers. The drama finished 22 episodes and we still don't know exactly where meerub stands in the relationship and with her feelings for murtu. In one scene they show meerab wants to leave this marriage, in another she is showing her haq on murtu as his wife infront of haya, she is shown to be cold towards her parents and then she decides to leave with them when murtu wasn't listening to her and when murtu took her back home she went back to being mad at her parents. We don't know where Anwar stands in her life. She runs to him when she needs him and then no scenes at all. We have to even analyse the iv and pov of the writer and the director to conclude why meerab is acting the way she does. Did we understood Raj and simran's actions and love for each other after the writer and director did an elaborated iv on why these characters did this and what is the importance of a particular scene is?
Till now almost all shows mainly focus on FL's monologues struggles as well as FL is always right...
Tell me the show where FL took some step ML accused her and it turns out that he was right she was wrong..
In almost all shows somehow it was turned and teisted in a way where FL knew something which makes her right and ML wrong...
This is exactly happening here...
I was saying this thing particulary...
I was talking about serials also....
That how in many sjows when ML amd FL have conflict at last writing goes in such a way that FL comes out as right person amd ML with flaws which is according to me case here.....
