He made sana Javed act and azekha gave good performances in both cheekh and dunk. Ushna gave really good performance in balaa as well. Even emaad irfani gave a decent performances in cheekh. none of them look like actors who can do it without the director pushing them. Saba and Bilal with act well no matter who the director is but bilal did balaa and cheekh as a relative newcomer and he wasn't as polished as he is now. So badar definitely have a hand in bilal's performance in balaa and cheekh, dunk maybe not be that much. Some of the scenes esp the ones that required good performances were shot really well and pretty hauntingly in both balaa and cheekh. Bilal's breakdown and his confrontation with Usha while she is being chained in balaa and wahji confessing to saba, the entire sequence with led wahji to kill nayab were all well executed scenes.
I think badar's fortee is dark dramas and he just cannot execute normal melodramas or love stories and romantic scenes. Mpth is a typical melodrama. Mein is not as bad as people are making it to be. It has grey content and he is good at showing twisted female characters. Balaa, dunk and mein have strong female protagonists with grey or negative shades and all the actors who playes these roles did really well.
