Before reading these perspectives from my side there are disclaimers for all the fans who are in love with these drama serials. You can either agree or add up some thoughts which would be provoked in your mind glancing at these reviews. Our society needs some positivity as we are already enduring through the toxicity. I remember at once I jotted down a story in the inkwell community about the social injustice and abuse happening on the name of marriage in Pakistan. I was laboriously criticized as this community only concentrates on the fictional story. They have thought that readers want to escape from reality so fantasy would enable them to boost the energy level of living. I have been surviving through the tough time where truths are biting me each day. After graduating I tasted the practical life perks and believe me they are much sweeter to engulf. To save my energy from endo endo-phagocytosis I started watching Pakistani Tv serials. From the three famous TV channels in Pakistan today I am going to give a review of Mujhe pyar hua tha from ARY digital.
Having Hania Amir and Wahaj as lead characters this drama serial story revolves around the love triangle transpiring between the Maheer ( Hania Amir) Saad (wahaj) and the rich man Areeb ( Zavier) . The story was fine until the marriage of Maher and Areeb. In the background Maher and Saad cousin friendships twisted into one sided love that occurred from Saad side. Money changed the psyche of the Maheer family and they consented to the marriage of their middle class Cinderella with Prince Charles. A misunderstanding gave rise to an accident and the girl got Nikahfied with her cousin. Everything was smooth within these 4 episodes. But the writer changed the plot and prolonged the love triangle so long that nothing special is happening within this story from the last 4 months except the deaths of parents.
The innocent Maheer;
She has been portrayed as immature who doesn't even talk with anyone about her own issue. Neither does she have the capacity to shut others' mouths. She knows nothing except mourning and speaking in such a low tone that even I have to turn on full volume in order to listen to her third class dialogue mainly saying I have done nothing. Like lady for God sake come in front to support either your so-called husband or go and fulfill your promises with your ex boyfriend. Why are you doing all these dramas? Her innocence took the life of her father in law, paralyzed her father, broke her sister in law engagement and man she is still innocent.
The compassionate husband Saad;
There is a term used by the audience which means undignified man. And Saad is so sympathetic to her wife that he doesn't even restrict her not to meet her ex boyfriend. He stays silent on each of her actions and instead says what is her fault? Like wow your so called love and understanding is allowing you remain such powerless. Neither he provokes love or sympathy in the heart of her wife nor does he have energy to let her go.
The villain Areeb ;
Till he had an accident of father's death which became the reason for his cancellation of marriage he was a good carp but now he is not leaving Maheer to live his own life. He tries to restrict his mother who plays the antagonist role. But at the same time he is dumb to win the heart of his girlfriend.
The strong sister ;
Now the only person who must be appreciated here is the sister of Saad. She doesn't remain silent on all the stuff which happens, you can call her straightforward. But at least it's reasonable to communicate with facts.
Hype for the cast and OST;
The drama came in the time when the song Mujhe pyar hua tha by Khalil Kaifi was making waves and the fans were crazy to watch the drama. But it proved to be a flop idea of promoting baseless story by casting high rated actors along with the most liked OST. I was the person who went for the drama because of the song and see I have wasted my time and interest.
My questions;
After the strong bonding of marriage how can be so powerless? I am not stressing on marital abuse but a husband must do anything to make his wife happy. So that might not remember her past or might not look to someone else.
What lesson are you teaching to the generation that keep looking for money and luxuries even after you are married? Are you motivating others to evolve a gold digger?
Where is that family understanding vanishes when someone doesn't talk about the issues? Why does everyone have to remain silent? Are they all playing fox characters? Instead of promoting the introvert characters you must give raise to open ended talks. Issues can be sorted when they will be discussed.
Things are not the same which are being shown up. Joint families are not so weak where the truth would be concealed. They know very well how to remain honest and caring in strengthening the relations. Money matters but good character should be promoted while selecting someone for marriage.
The girl being portrayed in the drama is senseless who is much confused to carry one the dealings of her life. Just a question where such dumb babes take birth, in my opinion wolf's are going to finish them. I can agree no more with opinion.
Conclusive thoughts ;
No matter from which calss you belong dramas influence your life alot. They are not only the source of entertainment but also brings some life lessons to the society so just wanted to pin a messgae about avoiding toxicity. Such poor stories will not provoke any good stuff. Again an apology if you are loving this drama. But these are my critucal thoughts you can share your thoughts in the comment scetuon too.
