But yet they show us Ammar is doing the same things over and over again. There’s been little progress for him. It’s very repetitive and dragged out. In that way, maybe it better for Wahaj that his screen time is limited if there’s nothing much for him to do. It makes people crave seeing him on screen. Although I believe the potential was there. He started drinking again…now what? Is he still drinking? Did he stop after seeing Sadaf? How does he feel about her change? Kind of important parts to the story and they wouldn’t just have to feel filler. He’s with Zaviyar now, a couple of conversations between them would add so much.
Honestly I feel the overdose of Ammar basically doing nothing has been a disservice to Usama as well. Maybe if there was some actual progress and things going on, it wouldn’t feel so torturous for most of the audience to watch his scenes. We’ve been seeing his daily routine, him and Dania having almost the same conversations and him looking like a victim in spite of the fact that he is messing up. That’s been on repeat for mumble episodes now.
The repetitive conversations of Dania and Ammar is all KRQ. Haseeb and 7th sky did not change any dialogues, otherwise krq would have said this like he bashed Haissam for GM.
According to Usama they said the lines as is but Haseeb added visual montages which weren't in the script. So all those dragged intros and outros with mundane details, the long pauses and camera zooms the slow halting dialogue delivery - that's all Haseeb.
Wahaj has more fillers than Usama but they are usually separate filler scenes and they've been spread over the entire run, but with Usama, existing scenes are being dragged out which makes it look worse. Also Bilal is not unlikeable like Ammar, so we can happily watch a 3.5 minute silent scene of Wahaj lying on sofa getting up rubbing his face look broody and walk in the corridor in his home or 2 minutes of him just playing the piano smiling, etc. If Usama had same fillers, we would cry blue murder.
