I'm glad people are noticing and speaking about this.

I feel like this is the first 4lions drama people didn't go all gaga over and noticed that the script is lacking.

The concept of this show is amazing and it has an amazing cast to support it but the storyline is whack.

There is no realism and no reality to this show.

They bring out interviews and promos with a direction and when the show starts it lacks what was originally shown to us in the beginning.

Indian dramas from day one always have been more fictional then any other cultural shows.

Immature fights, acting silly and over the top action is not really a recipe for success.

I loved Zoya's character because she seemed like such a strong character but as the show is progressing there making her personailty as Khushi and Geet characters where they both were immature and did silly pranks.

It needs better direction. I need a story.

It was ULTRA OTT...*Sigh*The things we have to put up with for the sake of entertainment hehehlol


The sad thing is its obvious they put down good money for the effects and extras, but it fell short. What they needed was some sort of action sequence choreographer worth their dime. And did it need to be so very long?

You know what I fail to understand is that it really works for them...I mean the indian audience ( I am not Indian By theway)really loves this silliness, long Eyelocks, heavy breathing, winds blowing..etc...no show gains Trps without these ingridients...It is like the audience is asking for these stuf...

And to be honest I dont mind Eyelocks and stuff..it is what makes Indian shows Indian...but the other things are just too stretched to be given a blind eye...Exactly Zoya is becoming more and more like Khushi and Geet..but at least those were uneducated...but she an engineer for God's sake...she should have some maturity and some brains...I love her cuteness and SHe is fun..but sometimes she give me the impression that she is 10 years old

Yes it needed to be that long...we had to live every second of Asad kicking the life out of those poor goons..we had to see them flying in slow motion one by one ...

Plus, Khushi was supposed to be 18 in the beginning, so still growing. But, Zoya's character was mature enough to run from her wedding and stay back in India of her own will. So what happened now? Asad holds her by the throat and she gets excited about 007 Khan?

Something is awry on the sets, direction and storyline. Maybe the TRPs sent them scrambling.

Exactly ^^ Indian audience only accepts this kinda shiz and without all this shows aren't a success with a low trp and I've seen shows with a unique concept go off air in just a few months for sole cause of not having all the eye locks and hawa blowing out of nowhere! It just doesn't go down with the general audience which is crazy, so if the audience themselves can't accept anything different then I can't really blame the directors of being unrealistic and cliched!

@Racha:

LOL that makes me laugh quite honestly. I can never take Indian dramas seriously.

I'm not Indian either and I'm a total sucker for show with two amazing looking people falling for each other. I also watch Pakistani drama such a huge difference it's all reality and realism in those shows BUT there not so chill like Indian dramas. Indian dramas lack reality and realism but they're good for a little laugh.

The audience loves the whole flying dupatta and eye locks thats why we have it till this day.

I don't mind the whole eye lock stuff too BUT I mind over the top and unnecessary things.

Even if the storyline sucks at least the characters could have been strong.

I was surprised by Zoya's Reaction...he grabed her by the throat and she just stood there day dreaming about him ??? What is going on here people?...the only explanation is that the injection Akram gave her affected her brain..hopefully not permanently

You know sometimes I wonder where did the ideas come from the whole flying dupatta and falling into his arms. The most that irritated me was when two main leads passed by each other and don't notice each other and then they feel each others presence which is inhumanly. LOL makes no damn sense.

I've noticed that too shows that actually stick to the storyline and are send messages don't stick for long. Ditto in the last part the PH do what the audience wants. 4lions is doing what has worked for them. From Geet to IPKKND now to QH there going to do the same thing. Man handling guy and a girl that goes around doing pranks.

I have watched all kind of dramas...Hindi, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Pakistani, Thai, American...and every one of them has something lacking...I wish all of them collaborate and give us the ultimate PERFECT drama...For example: Direction from Turkey, Script from Pakistan, Dance sequences and romantic scenes from India, Comic Relief from Korea
