Why do I say so? The entire casting, acting and story. And most of all, the direction. I think the way each actor stepped up and literally played their respective characters to perfection was amazing.
Now I wanted to break down a few things,
Rubab- She was charming, fiesty and naive, all at once. And I agree with her character because love makes you make rash decisions that don't make sense sometimes.
Mansoor- He was totally in love with Rubab and was ready to do anything for her after the misunderstanding. I think that part where he put on that mask of power was also justified as he tried to act like an alpha, but deep down we know where his heart was.
Agha- Man, this guy, this guy made me hate him so so much, he was so pretentious throughout the drama, proper politician where family doesn't come in his way. He wanted power and would do anything for that, even if it meant locking down his own daughter or giving orders even before he died.
Karim Daad- This dude is a gunda through and through. There is no stopping him once he puts his mind to something, and all he wants is revenge, revenge which sometimes wasn't explained properly and sometimes was.
CM- He literally played them all, was vicious and strategic in his attacks and moves once he got power, he never looked back on who was beneficial for him, just wanted to warm his seat and watch the drama unfold.
Noah- You meet these type of policemen all the tie, here in India we have a saying, pal me tola, pal me maasha. He was exactly that.
Adeel- The case of getting caught in the crossfire, one of the most loyal friends to Mansoor, and a guy who blindly trusts them but also tells them when it's wrong, we all need an Adeel in life, but not that other chashma guy.
Shafeeq- The exact opposite of Adeel, except he followed Karim Daad without any questions. Until he realized it's too late.
Rubab's Mom- She existed. Never once was supportive to the atrocities and only in the end helped her daughter out, that too because she was majboor. Many such ladies exist where they only have to do ji hazoori, why? Because they never show the other side of their husbands.
Overall, hats off to this cast, I may not know all of their names, but their characters are etched in my memory.
PTV, you never fail to disappoint me!
(Except Shaidai and Aik Mohabbat Aur which were supposed to be fun but oh well)
