i said this in previous post too but after ammar yells at sadaf, her reaction where she is breathing heavily goes on for 35 seconds (with no dialogue or camera pan to intercut it).if that reaction shot was 5 seconds long, no one would have that may was overacting but when the scene of maya doing extra promax heavy breathing goes on for 35 seconds, it looks like overacting. by stretching actors ke reaction shots for so long, it's is making their acting look bad. extreme emotions ko itna lamba nahi khenchte. when you prolong it for minutes, it looks awful.
the second is tonal inconsistency. this is a drama which is very contrived, artificial and melodramtic. then in the fight scene between ammar and sadaf, you ask the actors to go raw and animalistic and all grunt-y, that acting doesn't fit the tone of the show. because the tone of your show is not gritty and raw and earthy. in a different show which is gritty and raw and earthy, this acting of a couple fighting would work, but in a show like this, it seems out of place and overacting.
The show just deals with complexities of human emotions but too much of overphilosophized dialogues,unnecessary reactions by the actors have dragged this show to another level..viewers ka frustrated hone jayaz hai..today's episode ka youtube comments were still positive..they were saying the story is finally moving forward.
