And obsession and fame will be there for famous actor, it’s normal in any industry else this kind of drama will just had been away from discussion long back.
If Aamir gives a disaster like TOH, if Prabhas gives a disaster like Adipurush, people will talk.
This show was a train wreck on another level. This was an A tier show. A tier shows may have 2 3 really bad things going for it but they also have 2 3 really good things too. People hated Animal for the misogyny but from direction, music, acting perspective, it was still very good. SMD just failed in every single department from writing to direction to editing to pacing to acting to marketing to lighting to music to sound design to camera work. Most importantly it was slow, boring and lacked entertainment.
I have been watching ptv for decades and I have not seen an A tier show that was this poorly made. If it was only toxic and misogynistic, but was otherwise highly entertaining and gripping with dynamic cktrs and storyline, it would have still won over people. What viewers cannot abide is boring.
As a Krq show, I expected misogyny so that's not even MY problem with the show. I was expecting some level of dysfunctional people and toxic relationships anyways. MY problem with smd is everything else which I was NOT expecting - the awful and creatively bankrupt direction and complete lack of vision, the overacting, the slomo dialogue delivery and long pauses, the awful editing, the slow stretched pacing, the snoozeworthy ost and horror/suspense/noir bgm, the false marketing, the weak dialogues, the ridiculous english, lack of character development and poor script ki bunai, the overdose of sadaf/ammar/dania/humsha, lack of ss and one-dimensionality to bilal abdullah, glum lighting and filters, the unflattering camera angles, the weird tonality, the overall lack of entertainment and hook.
Other than a few scenes which I liked and felt they had emotional resonance, that Baig house was shot somewhat differently, and a few styling choices here and there, nothing was commendable about this show for me. Show me another A tier project that was so bad on so many fronts.
