It’s clear that Amar Khan knows how to translate emotions on screen, an aspect that plays out on various occasions in the show. The dialogues are very witty and sharp and also hilarious as required. Not just that her writing is progressive and addresses societal issues as well.
Strong Supporting Backup
The supporting actors leave a mark in their respective parts. Mehmood Aslam is so good, it’s great to see him in a dual avatar. Maria Wasti is electrifying. With her commanding presence, authoritative attitude, and hunger to learn music, this is a stand-out act that’s sure to be talked about by avid drama viewers. Behroze Sabzwari and Ayesha Gul are fantastic and deliver a controlled performance without going overboard in any sequence. Special mention for the OST, it’s very catchy, hilarious, and well-shot.
