But this crap is still much better than other crap they're releasing as prime time dramas Dil e Nadaan, Bayhadd & Shiddat etc

Whatever at least their directors are not in dillusion and spreading fake narrative to save their reputations

I'm not sure why there is shade for any of these. I watch for story and sometimes a flop only describes lack of views or trp and not the quality of the work or it's ability to engage viewers. There are a few express dramas I watched that have no trp or views. I could careless.

I enjoyed the experience of barzakh. The cinematography was incredibly and the first episode was out of the world. Yes, it has issues. I completely understand. The story was not tied up that way it could have been among some other things. And I don't know if one can say it was a hit or a flop. Maybe a flop? There is still quality viewing experience.

Zard and MJ may not have had a big budget but they were not bad. Sajal Bilal are incredible actors. Bilal is one actor who has been as strong in his performance as in his first drama. Sultana mentioned that she was making three short series on social topics. It was consistent. I watched Nadaan. It was something different.

I thought it is a really good thing that Bilal, Sajal and Yumna did these projects. There are some issues and I'm sure Qej will also have things where we'll be like what's going on or what was that! But I don't have SMD level of issues with any of these projects. It is very understandable that even social projects are of a variety and will differ by set, story length and cast.

From what I saw on this thread there was shade towards QeJ being commercial compared to SMD and I personally thought that's just such an odd thing to state. I understand the comparison to the other ones but not QeJ to SMD.

Actually, I don't have issues with SMD itself. I mean there are way way worse things out there. I do understand people are being hard. But people are fed-up as the team is forcing it down people's throat as a very passionate convincing story that everyone is loving. It is not. They did not hope but believed it would be bigger than TB commercially in terms of success due to Wahaj or whatever reason. They advertised those Wahaj Maya shoots in a false way. They also think everyone is after them but no it's because of how they're receiving the feedback and labeling everyone as haters and jealous beings. Haseeb shading trp is just ridiculous. Wahaj's back is breaking from carrying this whole thing. The script, the color schemes, the dialogues and Sadaf and logic! Nothing flows.

Nothing flowing is the problem.

For example, Ishq murshid and Pyaar ke sadkeey both had elements of fantasy. No one was asking questioned as to why certain unrealistic things were happening? The drama itself explains it. Like how good actors express with their eyes. SMD does not have that. SMD does not have a fantasy element yet it brings in illogical situations which are just not fitting of the drama's set-up. There are some serious flaws in the writing, execution and that Sadaf character makes no sense.

I agree with what you said.

KRQ should just stop writing dramas. His thoughts are outdated. He tainted the credibility of directors like Haissam & Haseeb. Even actors were not used properly, not a single stand out moment for these good actors in his shows.

I didn't say it don't pay but the fraction of money they get won't be enough to recover the cost. An influencer making a video and a full fledged drama or a movie cost can't be compared. If yt paid well enough then producers won't be making deals with Netflix and other ott platforms. Even channels like tvf which started as yt channels ended up producing for other ott platforms.

PTV shows are not primarily made for YouTube. Their target audience is TV audience. YouTube earnings are just bonus lately.

Actually any drama getting 3+ TRP is not a flop. Flop means a project loses its money. Sometimes even 2+ TRP is enough to recover the budget. People here call a project a flop based on expectation. Since Sajal Aly is a big star with 10 million+ Insta followers, people expect her dramas to get high TRPs & views, & if that doesn't happen, they call it a flop.

I get your point. ZPKB crossed 10+ TRP may be 2/3 times. And views-wise it was just good, not extraordinary. But I don't think it is a high budget drama. Apart from Sajal and budding star Hamza S, there was no big star. The premise was not at all lavish. So I don't think we can call it a flop.

Contradictory to what fans believe yt don't pay you that much. If it did why do you think every other country except Pakistan, either have their own streaming platforms or give rights to international platforms like Netflix and prime? Nowadays even bwood don't hype up just the yt views for their trailers or songs. It's always combined views from other platforms and at times insta reels have more views than yt.

Exactly! I was thinking the same. Last time I saw an Indian PH bragging about YT views was a full page ad in T2 (The Telegraph) about swag se swagat song crossing some milestone.

But in PTV, it seems a major decider of a flop or hit show. If YT views are that much important then SMD is also getting a lot of views, so it's a blockbuster. But I can see how members of this forum and SM thrash it everyday.

Zard is not a flop in any way. People here were calling out those who questioned Zard’s views back then & are now celebrating QeJ with lesser views. Zard even topped TRPs charts once & was in top 5 consistently even if we consider the standard metrics. It was a joint production of Kashf foundation & MD production that’s why Hum didn’t claim it in its annual report.

We don't know Sajal Aly's paycheck. It would be very high I guess. But I agree it's not a flop but Hum tv don't consider it a big success otherwise they would've named it in their annual report.
