Geo will redeem with Dayan and Mann Mast Malang also hum TV is nowadays going downhill after launching that aina soap BTW they always favor Nepo kids most of the time that's why I never liked any hum drama with a few exceptions recently they ruined msm for entertainment and made it as a Billie ellish type drama and i didn't like it everyone is apriciating farhat like she's an god BTW I found her an overrated writer also favouring ahad's brother will help anything BTW I want 2025 to be an geo year not hum year

Man mast malang looks like a very average typical Danish Taimoor show. Danish is typcasted and become monotonous. And heroin just sucks. I have seen her show Zulm, which was terrible 😳 .

I think HUM has given us classic shows like Zindagi Gulzaar hai, Yakeen Ka Safar, Bakthwar, ZPDD, TMNON , and now QEJ. Geo can never give such shows

I think what Anika meant that the DT show will get Geo out of its flop era that it is stuck now, so getting high TRPs and blockbuster views that Geo's other mega signature shows post-JN (like Ishq Hua and SMD) failed to deliver. Quality wise Hum has the best shows. ARY was ruling quality wise too a few months ago but their new slate is a bit lacklustre.

I'm saying in terms of trp not because of story BTW Agar Tum Saath Ho will be the only hit drama of hum TV as it's a toxic drama and written by radain shah who has Duniyapur and ktk Also That Mehwish Drama Looks unique as it had a revenge storyline

Thanks for clearing up BTW I feel like hum TV will have a 1 hit show which is agar tum saath ho

In my opinion, this whole show could have still worked if they cut out the endless, pointless dragging on supporting cast. I don’t even think Wahaj needed more screen time, just cutting out most of everything else would make his more by comparison. Those other side stories didn’t require the kind of screen time that was given. Of course the show would only be about 10 episodes long but we would be left with only the parts that really mattered.

So I still don’t think Usama was the lead. He just has a lot of screen time that was very repetitive and didn’t really explore his character. We didn’t get his backstory and his character had no closure. He wasn’t important enough for it. All we got was zoomed in prolonged shots of his crying face and him walking from place to place at a super slow pace. We also witnessed him carrying on with his mundane routine. Nothing was of substance and it wasn’t required. All we needed to know is that he is someone who isn’t truthful about who he really is, he has victim mentality and indulged in an affair because of his insecurities. His scenes did nothing to move the story along…it was the same stuff over and over. Like, we get it, move on. It wasn’t done well either. Haseeb should have noticed that his crying act wasn’t working out rather than lingering on it for as long as he did. I think very few people could make this character work and it certainly wasn’t Usama. The director should have brought out his strengths though and not his weaknesses.

I feel just cutting down on all those scenes would still make it appear as Wahaj was the actual lead. I would have loved for them to explore his character more but the main problem for me was the overdose of other characters in scenes that did nothing to propel the story forward. If those were cut out, Wahaj’s scenes would have felt sufficient and not become diluted in all the other nonsense.

The ending focused on the leads, the screen time overall didn’t. It wasn’t balanced well.

There is no point of discussing W's career choices and why SMD didn't do well etc.

The fact that SMD last episode is trending at no 2 in India still now..itself says a lot of thing..how much people loved with whatever good scenes has been shown after a long complicated journey of both characters..!!

Smd last episode couldn't fetch atleast 10 million views in a day despite of trending while msm & iqtidar are far ahead. Even though they gave so many romantic scenes, what is the point if it don't deliver. The climax was rushed and the ppl who are liking it are wahaj and maya fans only. I heard the last episode trp is 2.9. Isnt it the lowest for any ptv drama? I am repeating last episode because the views and trps for final episodes are always better. While in the case of smd, its reverse. That itself shows the drama is a colossal flop

They focused very less on sadaf bilal..and so much on ammar and other characters..I get it that it was a love story where leads take long time to come together..but than the focus on other characters should have been cut down...and so many other problematic stuffs were there in this drama..

And last episodes needed good dialogues between leads but KRQ wasted all his dialogues on the other characters.

Msm and iqtidar already have a specific fanbase ...SMD already lost lot of viewers still the comment section was full of appreciation between the leads..I think that shows that the last 20 mins is enough to compensate whatever happened in the drama

Tbh there is no compensation for whatever that they had shown in the drama until 39 episodes. A 2O minutes visual montage with no striking dialogues that too with characters with no arc or development can't do anything. The silence of the makers is deafening. Wahaj already disowned the project. This drama set an example of how to not make a drama

Overall if you look at it, it’s like they cleared up the toxic elements. People saying Sadaf just needed to compromise and stay with her husband were proven wrong by her carrying on and starting a relationship which appeared much healthier with Bilal. Sadaf clarified that she realized someone wanting to die for you isn’t actually an expression of love. And although she realized Ammar was always faking suicide, she felt pity for him, moving on from the anger and wishing him well. But the problem is that they devoted episodes over episodes on it but the clarification was too subtle. Sadaf’s warped views on love needed a bit more resolution and the subtlety would have been fine had the focus on the toxic elements not been so front and center. If you’re going to be loud with that, be loud with the clarification too.

I think the ending montage was also used to prove all those toxic elements as wrong and it’s one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. I honestly felt like they just both brought out the best in one another. I just felt some more dialogue was needed before all of that. Still I enjoyed the last episode and I think this show could have been something else if we got this sooner. I liked the beginning and I liked the last episode but that whole middle crap had to go.
