I'm sorry but I'll NEVER get over the fact that... - Page 3

ROFL! Your last paragraph literally in the real literal sense cracked me up. I LOLed at that! Because I always so wish Zoya was real so she could be my bestest friend and we could do all those things together. 😆 😳 I adore her as much as you expressed you do and my heart breaks into pieces even when she is remotely sad.

However I don't entirely agree with you. Asad fighting would've been inappropriate. Especially cuz he was at multiple gun points and sword points. The guy is a very practical and calculated man. He would never leave if he knew he had even the slightest chance of saving her without leaving. I do believe he was processing and assessing the situation as they were escorting him away.
Like you though I wished they had shown a bit of a struggle... pleading, bargaining, a physical refusal to walk, mentally searching for an escape plan from the car, etc. It would've added more realism to the situation. It would've shown that he wasn't contemplating on whether to save her or not but on how to save her, which is much more Asad-like. He's too honorable to not try at first chance. But, I know where you're coming from. It just depends on one's perspective. Personally I'm content with what was shown. Him being forced to leave showed his helplessness which caused a greater emotional impact on us viewers as he went bonkers looking for her. It was a smart literary n cinematic trick.

My poor poor Zoya... Asad you better repent!

But I don't completely agree. I'm glad they did show him fighting 15 people with swords, guns and shovels and their own man-power. I hate it when they show Asad fighting off 50 times the number of goons. And especially when he punches them and they go flying. What the hell is that?

This was more realistic. I don't think it took him that long to get that "Oh shit, I was wrong." He realized it a lot sooner but obviously with pointy things and crazy people around you, the smarter option would have been to walk away at that point.

If he had done something about it, they would have both died and although it seems like the brave thing to do, at least this way both of them would have a chance to survive.

At the end of the day, don't worry too much. The hero always saves the chick. And they'll start fighting and Zoya will start "Allah Miya"-ing pretty soon. In fact, that's probably what her first words will be when she's conscious!

I'm not saying he should have fought. In fact, it would have been stupid of him to fight.

I don't think he was formulating a plan. Like someone mentioned in one post, it was an 'aha, now I will run back' moment a minute after getting off the bus instead of the 'Im running back as soon as I get of the bus' moment as soon as he stepped off the bus. On this account, the PH has failed to clearly depict his thoughts if he was indeed formulating a plan. They might show it as a flashback tomorrow but as of now, that's how I feel.

Remember that in anger or in spur-of-the-moment situations this guy is not at all, in any way, calm and calculated. He is short tempered and very impulsive when angry. When he is angry, he shoves Zoya, tells her to get the hell out of his house, he repeatedly tells Firoz that Ayaan is his brother while beating him to death without thinking of consequences.

For me the scene would be more than good enough if he had pleaded. No physical force, no resistance, just verbal pleas and requests would have been perfect along with an immediate running back to the site after making sure the gundas are out of sight.

He was silent because he contemplated leaving her there. Just for a second.

To me that made it all the more real.

Asad doesn't feel anything romantically (or so he thinks) for Zoya. He has a family at home he needs to get back to.

When people have guns to your head you think about yourself not someone you think is unwanted in your life.

But he came back. That's the message here. He came back. That says something about his character. And where this story is going.

The characters are flawed. Asad was wrong in leaving Zoya. But that's what made it that much more believable.

Well to me at least.

I am okay with this point of view of yours. I'm ok with accepting that he was being realistic. I'm okay in admitting that he was flawed and selfish and human and non-heroic in that moment. I'm ok with calling a spade a spade. Definitely agree with that.

What I'm expressing dissent on is the idea that he was formulating a plan from the moment he walked away from Zoya. That to me is rationalization by the viewers because of an interest in holding Asad above the blame of being too practical. That to me is apology.

^I don't think he would have come back.

And he wan't really struggling either! Looking back with a confused+helpless expression, yes, but NOT STRUGGLING. Even if they'd shown him struggling a little, that would have been SO MUCH BETTER!

I know some people have said that he couldn't take on so many gunday, it wouldn't be realistic, but HELLO, this is a show! Since when do we look for so much realism?! TV serials for m are a form of escapism. They've shown one-hero-gagillion-gunday scenes several times before. Heck, even Asad has had a scene where he took on so many gunday!

Realism is good. It's all good. But in real life I would NEVER leave my unconscious house-guest (or any innocent person for that matter) alone in the jungle with KAMEENAY GUNDAY WHO POSSESS GUNS AND WHATNOT OH AND DID I MENTION SHOVELS, AND THEN LEAVE SAID INNOCENT PERSON, ARRIVE AT THE HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY REALIZE, "OH, actually, no, I don't want her dead" AND THEN DECIDE TO GO LOOK FOR HER, KNOWING SHE'S PROBABLY BEEN BURIED ALIVE ALREADY.
