She said like this kind of script was never meant to be in the form of drama..and on the top of it the producers have made everything OTT and over sensationalized it. It should have been a mystical type of art movie or something.
I agree with her. We have said same here that this is wrirten as a commentary on different philosophies of love that we experience through its impact on Sadaf's life, and not a love story or romance or melodrama. There is not a lot of action or external stimuli in the story. Its a lot of internal pov, emotions, opinions, psychological issues/ dysfunctions. I have said this myself here that this type of story that the script was telling needed a fresh contemporary creative treatment, contemplative tone, restrained performances and authenticity of emotions, and not this ott seationalistic contrived approach haseeb took. Atiqa thought Humsha could have been the central cktr. While I do not agree with that, I do think Humsha could have been executed as a Lady Macbeth or Loki type of cktr, or as an omniscient narrator. I liked that Atiqa made me think of the different creative ways in which this script could have been executed.
Overall, I agree with Atiqa that the team did not understand the story they had on paper or were not simply interested in telling that story. Forcing a script that is meant to be something else into a love story and high drama with many filler scenes was a very insincere and wrongheaded way of storytelling.
