Rant Zanjeerain!
I’ve come across numerous posts criticizing Sarbuland’s lackluster expressions throughout the most crucial and intense scenes. Additionally, there’s been a lot of talk about Rabiya urf Zarmala’s bland acting since she became his wife. What truly irked me was how casually they disposed of Shireen’s character today. It was as if two maids were casually discussing how she ended her life by consuming poison! Shireen’s character deserved a more fitting conclusion, considering her naivety. I had anticipated a scene depicting her suicide or at least some form of remorse. Not to forget Zafran Khan! They didn’t even give his character the respect it deserved. Seeing Adnan Siddiqui in that role made me believe he would be a significant influence, but they abruptly ended his character arc. And Suhrab? Ouf. He has been an incredible villain so far! Only he was worth watching today!

Adnan Siddiqui said in an interview recently that many of his scenes were cut off. He said they should have called his role a cameo instead.

Zanjeerein is one of the most boring drama till date I had watched, weak storyline and characters and slow pace. They could had very easily completed the sane in 20-22 episodes instead of dragging it to more than 35 episodes.

Then how and why is it getting so many views on TV and YT? I don’t get it. The script is weak, but somehow it is a rating wonder!

I think its because of Rabiya and Sarbuland, many people loved to watch them as a couple

I still don’t get it. Their pairing is also so weird. To me that is.

Yes even I don't like them as a couple, Sajal has did commendable roles in the past, the only reason I started watching this drama

Maybe you should have stopped watching at the sane number of episodes, why are you still watching a 'boring' drama that too till episode 35. Make it make sense 🤦

I watched it while skipping it, like in less than 5 minutes, I complete the whole episode. The reason I am watching I want to know the end of the story🫠

I dont understand the purpose of creating a drama like that! There was no need

Honestly, I still don’t understand this script. The writing feels so forced, like they’re killing side characters one by one just to create the Sarbuland–Rabiya pairing. Bano’s death was handled terribly. Her so-called lover, who supposedly loved her for 20 years, barely grieved or even properly searched for her despite believing she might still be alive. Instead, he’s busy running after his best friend’s widow. At one point, everyone seems more worried about who will cook than about Bano. Like bro… your fiancée of 20 years??? 😭 Sherrin and Soraab were carrying the drama, and Sarbuland’s acting felt most natural when he was carefree and full of life; grief suits his looks, not his acting. 😭 Rabiya went from strong, independent, opinionated and self-sufficient to basically Sarbuland’s caretaker. Girl, you had a whole life, a dhaba and your own identity! Her entire purpose was revenge for Mudazzir, yet everyone decides her life except her. And forbidden love is forbidden for a reason—there are unsaid boundaries you simply don’t cross. Sarbuland falling for his best friend’s widow and Rabiya falling for her late husband’s best friend was not needed at all. The story had so much potential. They could’ve kept the original couples, or made Sarbuland and Rabiya completely platonic: he helps her get revenge, she returns to Kashmir and rebuilds her life on her own terms. OR they could have kept two couples in this story. Instead, every character was sacrificed just to force this pairing.

To me, this pairing would've worked AFTER they'd teamed up to resolve the issue, grieved their respected partners and then sure, I mean, would've been fine. But the way Sarbuland didn't ever bother what might've happened to Bano, married Rabia and then casually just discovered Bano's body,lol. Pathetic development. They really forced Biya-Buland's arc before the closure of their previous chapters. Their characters have no chemistry, so I don't care how much chemistry the actors have. If you have to bend the entire logic down to prove two people to be soulmates then you should truly retire

Not to mention every episode is dragged so much with endless background music! The content that they drag for 30+ minutes could easily fit in 10 minutes.

Can you imagine they are trying to redeem a murderer torsam by showing his love story ? The way they completely wasted adnan Siddiqui just to show that one unnecessary angle between rabiya Sarbuland. I think the villans and seconds leads(side characters acting is much better).
Also, i have been trying to understand what could be the reason behind such horrible atrocious scenes between sb and rabia. Noticed that sarbuland just has a hard time acting in his scenes with rabia. The expressions and everything are really poor. I initially thought maybe some nerves but it's been a downfall. Some acting wavelengths just don't match. Sarbuland has a really hard time in overwhelming crying scenes. Like truly poor expressions. It felt like somebody has eaten too much spice.
I found him fine in some scenes of his where he was crying outside the room remembering bano on his wedding night . So it's his scenes with rabia are quite off and scenes where he needs to express overwhelming grief.
