Like a good boy, Hum TV has provided yet another winner *cough cough*.
Let's just go ahead and judge this book by its cover, because with this cover you know some awesome-sauce blogging opportunity has presented itself on a silver platter to us. Two names people: Ayesha Khan and Ahsan Khan. Let the (blog) good times begin...
Check out the brooooo-mance. Woot woot! The second I saw these opening scenes, in my mind this started playing *insert the extremely addictive Party All Night (by Yo Yo Honey Singh) chorus and an image of me doing a touch down dance*. I mean, just look at these stills - those red glasses, jogging in designer polo shirts...#BloggerHeaven
Oh Mansha. I had put you on my 'like' list after your awesomeness in Mera Naam Hai Yousuf and then you decided to do this. Really. It's a shame (for you, Mansha) because this drama is obviously going to be a blogfest of screenshots and memes.
Uffffo - overacting ki overacting. RIP any dreams Ayesha Khan might've had of being an actress in Bollywood.
Here are the two happy couples: Aazar married to Rania and Arsal married to Samra. Aazar and Rania have a son Dani and Arsal and Samra have a daughter Neni.
This is Tania, Aazar's sister that looks ten years older than him but calls him bhaiyya, her husband Babar, who hates being treated like second class citizens by his brother-in-law and his wife, and their son, aka Numair, aka spawn of the devil.
Aazar has a birthday 'party' with these two lovely couples. Hum TV must have no faith in the intelligence of its viewers because this whole situation is created where a fight between the kids turns into a show down between the adults. Aazar's sister and family doesn't get along with his wife and hates his best friends. We got it. No need to spell it out.
The scene where it becomes obvious that Rania wears the pants in this relationship.
The scene where you realize Noor Hasan is too young to play a dad. #CastingIssue
...ummmm ok. Aisa lag ra hei poori zindagi yeh drama chalayga for this madam to get her inteqaam. God forbid.
Some concerns raised in Episode 1:
Sharing information with someone who claims, "Mein behnoon jaisi hoon?" Really? How does that seem leggit at all?
Wow. Fire that hired help pronto.
Samra must be the seedhi saadhi one. Rania is obviously the taiz and modern one - the no-dupatta is like the biggest give away. But, if Arsal and Aazar are chuddi buddies and both are pilots...wait. Hold that thought. Maybe Aazar is a pilot and Arsal is cabin crew...?
Subha janay say pehlay tu bari pictures li ja rahi theen is bujhi bujhi shakal ki...
Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me! I know the answer!! It's because her best friend is dying of a unnamed, incurable, terminal disease!! Do I get a Scooby snack?
Honestly - you want to feel for Samra who is about to die of god knows what, but all I could think about was that after women crying incessantly in dramas of susraali zulm, we now have women crying incessantly of terminal illness. And N thinks we have no more originality left. Pffft.
I enjoyed this drama SO much it only took me two weeks to watch the first episode. Ha! My spidey-sense is all tingly and I can tell this will be a complete waste of my time - but I feel Ahsen Khan deficient, so I'll stick to it like a bitter pill. Plus, it's like Hum TV gave me a personal challenge about mocking dramas and their medical inaccuracies. They gave Samra an unnamed disease - which I'm assuming is to give them license to give her whatever symptoms they please.
Challenge accepted, Hum TV. Challenge accepted.
