The whole love triangle between the two sisters and their fighting is soooooo dull and boring that it's irritating. The show would be ten times better if it focused on the power struggles instead of this forced love triangle with no chemistry from the leads. Heck, the sisters have way more chemistry with Shahzaib, Murad, and Shahmir lol, I'd rather watch their scenes together.
Also wow at Nawaz, he is such a snake trying to play both Shahzaib and his dad. Poor Zulekha, you could tell she was really uncomfortable around Shahzaib. And honestly, Shahzaib's short scene with Zulekha was really well done, not a word was said, but so much tension and meaning.
Poor Gulnar, it really makes you wonder how Jahan Ara failed to see those blaring red alarms with how terrified Gulnar acts around Murad. And then the scene where she praises Murad for not being so bad when he's coming back to the house after raping Gulnar is way too much.
Shahmir is the only sane one compared to his siblings, he knows he can't handle the throne nor does he want to fight Shahzaib for it. He knows clearly how high the stakes are, he knows his own weakness, yet his dad and sister are pushing and forcing and trying to guilt him into it.
This show is so weird, it's jarring to see them handle certain scenes with much subtlety and doing it nicely yet for others it keeps shoving it into your face and nonstop beating a dead horse. Like Tara's scene with his mom talking about not being able to receive photographs of their baby nephew because there's no wifi and how the ruling family keeps Peeran Pur uneducated for their own purposes. These short scenes show why Tara would make the choice he has and is good characterization. I'm just so frustrated because there was potential for this show to be good, but it's falling flat because I see the grand love story that's supposed to be important and riveting as filler.
