Maha Sangaram for me was a let down - Page 3

Thank you for understanding. Let us say I was very impressed with the past four days and was really stunned that today's episode just seemed very thrown together and rushed. I just felt it was too choppy and didn't make much sense. I felt dialogue was missing, story transition. What this needed was more time for Zoya and Asad.

I also felt like you that the last scene was way too much Aarti and Yash. I liked the few moments of her hand getting cut and Asad ignoring it and then him adjusting her dupatta. However, I feel so many viewers have read so much into it when I see this as two people sitting there awkwardly hoping this will be over soon. Not two people hiding their love from each other. I give credit to the actors for conveying these emotions as THIS is what I would have done if I was writing and/or directing that scene.

The jail scene was rushed; Asad putting Zoya behind him...didn't do it for me there...all of a sudden he cares for her after tearing her down? He rescued her because? There were so many missing elements - where was the uncle etc. I feel there was much more needed dialogue to add to that scene and the chase to the dabba. Let us say, there was need for more in those scenes - it was "here's a bit" and "here's a bit" and "there you are" and was like "that is all you have for us?" Come on. I am a cheated viewer.

Was really looking forward to the QH Mahasangaram episode and what a major let down with the Azad and Zoya scenes. They were choppy, short and very rushed. The Ayaan-Humaira storyline was far better executed and the highlight of the show was the scene between Raizya (what a brilliant actress) and Humaira. I was expecting more from the excellent delivery of the past 4 days; instead I saw a bare bones attempt at delivering what could have been some very witty and fun scenes. A lot of confusion as to who was chasing them. The boy's family? Asad's uncle? Both? Where was Asad's uncle? DId the girl escape to Bhopal to DIlshaad's house? Why doesn't Zoya tell Asad the truth about what she did...the girl was raped; surely Asad would be against this type of marriage? The few Asad Zoya scenes were frantically offered to the public and the last scene with the song dragged. And please, someone tell me how do these two plan on using the restroom? Do they have supersonic bladders? Had this been Hollywood or western tv, they'd have at least addressed this and made a humorous scene. Here's hoping for more QH on Monday and less PV. (Sad face).

Having watched a number of Hollywood films where two individuals of opposite personalities are caught up in mess and handcuffed together, I was expecting more. Even more after having seen some excellent writing and directing in the past several days.

This was a big disappointment...just seemed thrown together. It did have some good highlights like the scene where people mistake them for a married couple. The last scene where they watched Yash and Aarti dance showed them exhausted and stressed. I didn't read anything else into it and I don't think there needs to be. Image how awkward the two must be feeling handcuffed together - that's what I saw.

Love is going to be a long time coming for these two.

Very well put...my thoughts exactly...the Asad /Zoya scenes were very scratchy!

Love your comments and you totally understand where I am coming from. It was not what was shown that was a problem but how it was done and how there could have been more. I totally agree with Number 3. The whole Asad Zoya storyline could have been executed far better and it was hardly there. They could have done so much more with it and they didn't - that's where I feel disappointed.

We hardly got any Asad Zoya - especially the chase, the arrest. A few lines here, a few lines there.

And let us not forget about the fact where are these two going to go to the restroom.

Plus there were scenes when I expected them to run and they were just walking and taking a stroll. Plus the motorbike scenes - realize they have no money but come on... it looked so unreal.

And the fact she does not tell Asad that the girl was raped hence the reason she helped her escape? I hope this comes out - that was so pivotal.

I hope Monday is better and redeems itself from today.

Here I have to confess something, which I guess is the reason I found the episode more appealing.

I watched only about 20mins worth of content skipping all of PV parts and even Ayaan bits because really the guy can't act.

SJ has improved a great deal and KSG was at his best as always. Case in point during the random dancing I didn't even notice the other pair. Maybe it me reading too much into things but for me the episode showed that Asad trusted Zoya even if he didn't agree with her executions. To me that's character development.

In any case I'm sure things will be back to normal when the mahasangam ends. I don't like being forced to watch another show either.

i felt exactly the same way!

Disagree... I loved mahasangam episode..it was more of asad and zoya.. Totally loved mahasangam episode and waiting for mondays mahasangam episode

Totally agree with each and every point you made & same as you I was VERY disappointed with the Maha epi espesh cuz of the promo which had me thinking it would be an Asad-Zo filled ep. But no they concentrated more on the Ayaan-Humera nonsense instead which BTW I hated espesh cuz what Razia did is just DISGRACEFUL & secondly cuz the guy that plays Ayaan is a terrible actor!!! I also loathed the fact that as a non viewer of PV I had to endure a combined QH-PV epi!!! Why couldn't they have just done them both separately???!!! All in all I felt the Asad-Zo scenes were too rushed and thrown together with no proper continuity & going off of that I am not holding out any hopes that the next epi will be any better!!!
