Done with Humsafar. 😊
I have mixed feelings for the show.
Things I didn't like-The story was way too cliched.It was like watching a better version of some of Ekta's K love soaps of the last decade.I don't say it was completely bad but when a show is as much popular as this you expect something great and extraordinary.With no intention of offending anyone I didn't find the chemistry something out of the world,it was good.(I think that the popularity of the show sometimes work as a disadvantage because somehow the expectations automatically are higher).
Having said that, the performances didn't disappoint me.What surprised me in this show was that every action,every scene had a meaning,had some relevance with storyline which gets revealed when you watch it along.Like Neerja said I too liked it more after the leap and the scenes I enjoyed the most were of the small family of Asher, Khirad and Hareem.
I liked the post leap scenes majorly,the scenes b/w Hareem-Asher-Khirad.The heart sugery sequence had to be the best one and there the Asher-Khirad scenes for me were the best.How Asher comforted Khirad throughout the pain and gradually he could see through her innocent self and finally realizing getting attracted to her,her love despite everything that happened was brilliant.This shows that their love was pure and true.
Pre-leap,apart from their other scenes I liked their marriage scene also,they had a spark (of chemistry)in them because of the awkwardness from both sides.(Asher was brilliant there)I liked their scenes with Baseerat also and then they had to eliminate him for the drama.
What I also liked that they had Batul Khala and Afsheen by Khirad's side and its not like they help and later disappear,they remain till the very end which they deserved because they were Khirad's pillar of strength in the hard times.
Overall,I would say I liked the show because it had great execution(the director 👏) and some scenes were just mind blowing and heart touching.Some of them I have mentioned (the hospital scenes) and also Asher meeting his daughter after years.
The OST deserves a special mention as it is the best part of the show for me.It is so haunting
and I could say one of the main attraction for me.
I love the Ost even though i had someone translate the lyrics as i could not understand , still it haunts you . while going somewhere this OST goes on playing in the car and one thing i found that guys are loving FK also . Humsafar is a story where ZGH is more real in real world . I liked Mihira Khan as Khirad even in the starting when she was quite and spoke very les . it were her eyes only . And post sepration somany scenes which makes you touched . Khirad just rubbing herself and Asking Betule Khala dirt to be removed from her clothes . Mahira just went in to her act as Khirad after that . Her calling to Asher when she was in hospital . So many small moments .
Ekta used to kill the show stretching them into years . Have not scene any of her shows as they put me off . Yes just saw little bit of KZK as somene told me . Both leads had good chemistry but as she must be following Bold & Beautiful American soap opera , went on marriage round like merry go round . So i think its not right to compare this Humsafar anyway with K factor shows . Here MIL is not some facing making person . She did for what she had reason .
!5 th episode when she comes to his office and is not buckle down under his penetrated looks with hatred . She calmly says for what she came and leaves . Asher having her daughter,s picture and crying and controling himself . His that time acting is done so well . After sepration , there were lots of scenes . Khidar Crying while doing her prayers and Asher comes and sits besides her and her asking in childlike voice that Hareem will be alright . Asher looking at her . Very beautifully done emotional scenes . Mahira as Khirad did excellent job where she kept quite and spoke less, just throwing a look at him . People are really excited about Humsafar . FK as Asher has lived the character as perfect son , perfect father , perfect friend but his trust factor was not that strong . As was discussing with someone , she just said how could he distrust his own mother when he heard ans saw whatever was enacted before him . And his mother nailed the last stroke when he wanted to talk to Khirad and her mother told him quietly that she went away with Khizar . So can not Blame Asher also he was also the victim who was also tormented soul as Khirad was .
Humsafar is more on to motions .As you said i liked post separation part and them acting like family . FK has excelled himself as Asher as he has more emotionally charged scenes .
