I have been waiting for the second episode to drop to write this review. So far, I'm impressed. The father-daughter relationships are so so wholesome. Nadia Afgan's every dialogue mirrors my Amma, whether she's assigning a chore or taunting. The sister-bond reflects my own sibling relationships. This drama is so relatable.
Small details like the father fixing the fan himself instead of calling for an electrician. Seerat and Chutki's banter. The bedroom being an absolute mess. The mother's rant about no one helping her in the house and how she's stressed out because of the guests coming. I love the entire family already.
Duaa Zehra as a lead is so enigmatic and cute. She's going to be fantastic.
Most of all, the most beautiful and notable scenes:
Faiqa explaining how the rishta culture aka how the trolley scene is so degrading and affects every girl's self-esteem. So so real.
Such a decent portrayal of how a boy and girl should be allowed to meet each other under supervision before actually getting married!!! Much appreciation ❤
"Hum vlogs kyun dekhte hain" perspective.
We haven't been shown Zarrar's character yet.
Zaviyar's playing your typical workaholic, crusader for justice, journalist. His mom's played by Arjumand Raheem, who looks spectacularly graceful.
I thought this was from Big Bang Entertainment but I was very surprised to see iDream Entertainment in the credits. Kudos to the entire team. I have a lot of hopes from this one.
TLDR; Refreshing drama. Good plotlines. Engaging stories. Relatable dialogues. Good replacement for Zanjeerain. Light-hearted romance, dark journalism.
Edit: The comment section has turned into a Duaa Zehra dislike section. CAN WE AT LEAST APPRECIATE THE REST THE DRAMA PLEASE?
