These days no dramas have pacing like this. KMKT was very well paced even tho it was not TB or IM. Look at Radd. It had so much content every episode and moved briskly. Even Mann Jogi was well-paced despite being an artsy show.

Even Haseeb's previous dramas like JSA and Alif were slow burn but I did not have the slow pace issues with them that I have with SMD. Yunhi was slow burn too but the pace never felt stretched. In fact, it felt soothing. Scenes got time to breathe but Ehteshamuddin did not use any of these stretching tactics Haseeb is doing.

This kind of dragging we see in SMD is what Geo typically does in second half of their dramas to stretch episode count. Take khaie, the first half was very fast paced but after e15, it all got dragged with slo-mo, pauses and fbs to stretch episode count. But at least we got 14 good episodes that had lots of plot movement and were fast paced, and that hooked audiences who then watched even the post-e15 draggy episodes. The problem with stretching from the beginning is that people don't get the chance to become hooked as you turn them off from the very start.

I liked your sentence writing has meat but also has lot of fat smiley36 we need to remove the fat somehow smiley36 I’m also thinking same that this slow pace is because they want to extend the episodes because krq always writes below 30.

Don't know about the initial 20 episodes but the last 10 episodes would trend in 20s, 30s just like smd. The second last and last epi would directly make an entry at top 3 then move up to 2 and 1 in india.

I think they were expecting mj zaid love story and usse pehle hi khatam hogaya smiley37

Actual the last 2 episodes were wahaj centric, plus people were quite curious to see which girl would end up with zaid in the end, hence it trended on top.

But sab ka popat ho gaya when they showed zaid getting divorced from both his wives smiley39

The writing is overall fine except certain dragged scenes of sadafs family and marhum.

But the direction is miserable. Haseeb sucked out the life of this show with his slow direction and slomos during sadafs family scenes.

7th sky are at fault here mainly specially this geo channel...yeh script hi galat haathon mein chala gaya mujhe lagta hai smiley13

BGM in every scene, even those where they are normally walking is so intense as if someone is about to be murdered

SMD is a case of work from home, where everyone did their job but didn't coordinate with each other

I blame 7Sky too because it was their signature project, they should have gone through multiple scripts of different writers to lock one then pick director suited for the script, editor and music department comes with the director
