Its one of the best drama acted by Fawad Khan. Fawad Khan and Sanam Baloch are an amazing couple and like them better than Fawad with Sanam or Fawad with Mahira.

Sanam Baloch is a fantastic actress.

At times I feel Humsafar and Zindagi G Hai are kind of overrated. Pakistan drama is more than just these new overarated ones. Have been watching Pak serials since last 25 years first in India and now on YT.

Dastaan is a love story set in the Pre Independece struggle in 1947. In my opinion one of the best dramas made in Pak. Watch it with an open mind. And remember it is made / based on the Pakistan point of view. There is no right or wrong its just a viewpoint.

We had a similar Urmila Matondkar movie in India..called Pinjar. Both the plots bear a striking similiarity.

Loved Fawad Khan and Sanam Baloch in this one...

I e been dying for this show to begin. I hear Fawad is brilliant in this. I can't wait for this!!!

I think the only thing which we Indians might not like about the show was the fact that they didn't show how the women in India also suffered in the cross-fire just like Pakistani women.

Fawad Khan, hands down, has the best chemistry with Sanam Baloch.

I think in the end, it cannot be expected to show both sides considering that the Indian film industry always shows only one side of the story when they release movies based on the partition as well. Always keep an open mind. It helps to understand that both countries went through the same turmoils. However, there were times in this show where they showed some positives about Indians and some negatives about Pakistanis. You will know what I mean once you watch it.

^3 shows together,they have to right 😆

Yup, but Dastaan was their first one together and their chemistry in it was still better.

That being said,its from a Pakistani's POV. So,its okay. I've watched Pinjar and yes,I've heard that Dastaan has a similar story,the only difference being the POV,one is from Pakistan and one is from India.

Im going to watch this show with a clear mind,purely as a viewer watching a love story. But yes,if I do encounter some scenes which I may not like(I've heard that there are some dialogues we'd rather not like to hear as Indians),I will gladly skip. But apart from that,I've heard only good things about this show. So,will definitely watch it.

Baloch and Fawad are brilliant. I have seen them in KPKPBT and I loved them. I've been told that its 10 times better in Dastaan.And the love story in Dastaan seems very intense,so it will be worth watching. I do know the ending is sad,but its the journey which matters,right?

Im still confused though, Should I wait for it on Zindagi or watch it online? Is the online print any good?

This is my answer to the one in bold!

I am no one to comment on what and how the people must have been thinking on both sides during those but all that I feel is that no one would have been happy in either side with all the violence that left such a bad scar on the minds which would last for generations.

Its strictly my personal opinion here, and I request not to bash me for this but I think all the violence happening on each side was simple dacoity done by those who just wanted to loot the vulnerable victims on either side and fill their pockets on the pretext and excuse of turmoiled political conditions.

I am an Indian, but I would feel as much for the pain of a Pakistani woman who suffered during partition as I would for an Indian woman. They suffered for no fault of their own and its quite natural for them to blame the other country for their sufferings, they are human after all who can forget all sense of judgement when the pain goes beyond tolerance.

I will definitely give this one a try and would recommend this to all my Indian buddies. Time heals everything and I feel bygones should be bygones and its time we move on. N by doing this I am not being a traitor, just a humanitarian!

P.S. I feel this is more inspired by 1973 B/W film Garm Hava featuring Balraj Sahani which showcased the confusion of a North Indian Muslim family on whether to stay back or move to Pakistan. Just the concept, not storyline!

And TM, if possible, please correct the title of the post. its Fawad Khan here 😉
