Not just Iqtidar but also MSM getting more views than SMD E27

Also I really thought MSM would do even better since that writer just had a huge hit, Ahad returned and even that actress has a lot of SM fan following. It seems like it’s picking up. I think KMKT had a slower start. Maybe this writer takes a bit of time to get into the story. Not as long as KRQ of course 😂

Something is telling me this going Tere Bin way, the pace the drama is going, maybe it will end up with 50 episodes. We are moving snails speed at the moment, it's like the story takes 1 step forward and 10 backward in each episode.

This is going jaan nisar way. Tb had fast paced episodes till 30 episodes. There was absolutely no dragging or filler scenes till that point of time. It was after 30 episodes, they started dragging it with flashbacks and stretched the separation.

Previously geo, would start dragging after half the episodes were over but now they are dragging it since the beginning to increase the epi count and get billion views. The dragging benefitted in case of jn because daniba pair comeback and danish popularity.

But in case of smd, it went downhill because of readymade hate for Mahaj, bad script, cringe scenes and acting, no scenes of the lead guy on who's name the show was marketed and horrible direction.

I have been saying since beginning SMD is more like KRQ's drama Mann Jali.

In Mann Jali, Mehwish Hayat is a middle-class, headstrong, impulsive dabang girl. Faris Shafi is her cousin who is a nice honest gentle guy who loves her madly and selflessly. Mikaal is the son of a rich man who is ayyash. He drinks and has marasim with women.

Faris tells Mehwish he loves her but woh usse attitude dikhati hai. one time she goads him to eat broken glass to prove his love and he does. She has feelings for him but khul ke nahi bolti. At her friend's wedding, Mehwish runs into Mikaal when he is drunk. He does badtameezi with her and she answers back. Mikaal Mehwish ko neecha dikhana chahta hai. He manipulates Mehwish's father with money that I want to marry your daughter. He also manipulates his friend who is married to Mehwish's friend, and Mehwish's friend then tries to manipulate Mehwish upon her husband's insistence to marry Mikaal. Mikaal even buys the call center where Mehwish works.

Mehwish and her mother do not want Mehwish to be forced into marrying Mikaal. Mehwish Mikaal se bachne ke liye Faris se kehti hai mujh se court marriage karlo jaldi. Faris gets beaten up by Mikaal's hired goons on his way and Mehwish thinks Faris abandoned her, and gets married to Mikaal. Faris returns from hospital at Mehwish's rukhsati and sees her leaving.

On suhaag raat, Mikaal is drunk and taunts Mehwish about Faris. He is very insecure about Faris. I think he even says the chura kar laa hoon line that Ammar said. After shaadi, Mikaal continues to have marasim with women. He has one gf but is also hitting on another girl in her dad's office, He is not a good husband but Mehwish gets along very well with Mikaal's parents who are very nice. Meanwhile, Faris has met a woman. She listens to him, helps him with job and it seems they will marry. Faris goes abroad.

Mikaal's dad fires the girl Mikaal is trying to pataofy. Mikaal takesthat girl to a beach house where his other gf shows up, and he accidentally kills her. Mikaal goes to jail. Mehwish gets divorced. Last episode, after time jump, Faris returns from abroad. She thinks he is married and it upsets her. Then Faris tells her he never got married and he still loves her and they get together.

In this, Mehwish is main lead. Mikaal is villain but is main lead with Mehwish because before wedding he does a lot of manipulations to get Mehwish. After shaadi, he also has his marasim with women and we see his scenes with them, plus his scenes with his wife and their tension. Faris who is the pure selfless lover and the one Mehwish ends up with in the end has less screentime than others because he rarely drives the action.

By adding all those filler scenes of Wahaj (where he is brooding and looking sad) and repeat scenes of last episodes, the have tried to pad Wahaj's screentime but based on writing alone, Bilal = Faris in Mann Jali (with a bit more screentime) whereas Sadaf = Mehwish and Ammar - Mikaal. The role of Wahaj was not intended to have been played by someone of his calibre but someone of less stature than Maya but same stature as Usama.

And JSA was also very good with script acting direction and wrapped under thirty episodes.

More than direction it's production house fault. This one is going to be Haseeb longest running show with more than 35 episodes. Channel does forced to drag the episode.

Production house took it lightly that they had wahaj and will get good ratings and all.

Haseeb always delivered if the script is good here story is so dragged with unnecessary content.

Sorry but haseeb is really a very incompetent director for a show like smd. You can see the actors are doing such horrible job at acting. Everybody is over acting, wahaj too.

I have watched alif in ff mode and it was a very boring show. Manmayal, I watched couple of episodes and dropped it because it was very boring. Jsa was written by umera but even that too tanked in terms of ratings because of slow direction of haseeb. Sanam, which was osmaya's show after the bb ded also flopped because of Haseeb's poor direction.

And smd disaster credit goes to first haseeb, then geo for dragging it and then to krq for writing sucha shitty script.

Interesting story. Why did the writer even consider Wahaj the lead? He didn’t even mention Usama. I feel instead of adding in scenes of Wahaj just walking and thinking, they could have just not stretched out the other scenes. Honestly if that was done right, then maybe he would only be missing in one episode and be light in about 2…maybe 3. The stretching out of the other scenes is what is making his scenes feel even more sparse.

Jn was quite entertaining the first 20+ episodes. There was more focus on Hiba first. Even I watched it. It started to get boring and Daniba screentime got less after 20-25 episodes. When Daniba met, thet had many romantic moments. Tbh their story after getting married was just staring at each other's eyes romancing drinking tea and eating food. So JN got views because first 20+ episodes were entertaining and people got hooked. The disappointment started later when people were already hooked. SMD lacked any entertainment factor from the start and no effort to do any build up of relationship. Even JN, it was clear that it was love at first sight and what was the reason. SMD main yeh bhi clear nahi tha.

I still think BA is better than Zaid but at least we saw more of him. Truthfully though, he was just there most of the time hanging around in the background. Bilal Abdullah was an interesting character and everything pre wedding felt interesting to me. He’s just not on screen anymore. There’s nothing to like or dislike because he just isn’t there.

BA definitely was promising but they haven't utilised him. He is not even a sidekick, he's just a prop atp. Atleast Saad had something to do other being a good husband to maheer and supporting her. He was a son, a brother and had to look after his family. Zaid also had other relationships.

But here, bilal has nobody, no dynamics with anybody, he just wants to lutao his paisa on sadaf, sulk like a naakaam ashiq and walk like zombie in his huge mansion. His servants are also fed up of his sulking and zombie walk.

Dunno about the writer but when Haseeb used to post about SMD , he always used to mention Usama and Hira along with Wahaj and Maya. Not just 2 of them.

technically hero heroine maya wahaj hain coz they end up together, like in mann jali it was mehwish and faris who were hero heroine. but in terms of screentime narrative importance who drives the plt, it was the male antagonist who was more important. like in darr, sunny and juhi were hero heroine but zyada screentime or importance srk ki thi.

Because krq can't write shows. Mpth blew up because the woman was cheating. Otherwise all his shows are borefest (I haven't watched any, nor do I intend to watch) he is just so overrated.

Only because of humayun he is getting work otherwise no channel cared about him, neither hum nor geo.
