the story is typical but the character work is really good. characters are properly developed and etched from the onset. the plot and scenes are knitted well. pace is good too - neither slow nor fast. bohat makkhan ki tarah flow karta hai sab kuch. a simple and easy peezy watch. yes it is predictable but tbh you don't need bang shabang, hooks and mystery boxes to keep interest with this kind of deft writing. I don't think it is an extraordinary show, but it's a pretty decent one.
i really like sharjeena so far. She is not the type to give aurat march speeches or do aurat march morchas but you know she has a very strong resilient core. i like her no nonsense attitude where she called out adeel for his rudeness and wanted to talk to him about it. hania plays her well too.
Mustafa, I am still to warm up to as much, but let's see. Sometimes, I saw one too many Bolly influences in earlier episodes, but I'm willing to wait. These two this week were really Hania's episodes.
some side actors sometimes drop the ball in acting but it's not unbearable yet.
I don't have any big issues with badar directing here. the filters are a bit yellow but nowhere near the ugliness we saw in Mein and MPHT. I don't even feel the yellow filter too much tbh. The camera work is decent. He is letting scenes breathe and fold out organically. I didn't like the loser bgm at all but I don't feel the other ost overplayed so far yet. I think badar is just letting the script do its work without too much badru meddling and badru flourishes.
