I watched the 1st ep of Zanjeerien. It was boring as you said. That's the problem with many other multi starrers. For a start chemistry between all the couples didn't work for me upon watching the teasers. Now after watching the 1st ep I am sure none of them is going to work .
Shaidai has all the elements of a mass drama. We had fights, and fun moments. Also we know the back story. Mehmood is doing the brother role of an actress who is half his age. He is the killer of Ali's parents, his sister wants to marry Ali who rejected her and unknowingly fell for his cousin. All of it seems like a recycled drama from many old shows and Indian movies. Yet this drama works for me because of the chem between Feroze and Sahar.
regarding shaidai, i think it was revealed in an episode that some of the employees still don't know ali's real identity and he seems like the bill gates or warren buffet of his company and shocked to find out about the hiring process..Lol, i remember the duo from habil & qabil show where mehmood was playing his sister's onscreen FIL role

zanjeerain story is too much all over the place and pacing is too slow..i did like the actor who played negative role where he comes to biya's restaurant despite being banned multiple times to stalk her as ive seen him with hiba bukhari in jhok sarkar and the fire he had with hiba in one of the scenes, it was completely bland from sajal's side like too mild..i did check the 2nd episode of zanjeerain, it is bit better than the first episode, i guess i changed my mind and will give it a little shot..
