I watched Bashar Momin and I hated Bashar Momin for multiple reasons. This is my opinion, but Sami's character of Bulund was truly not much different than his regular characters.

Sami acts well; he simply doesn't choose good scripts or different ranges.

What I want at this point is for Mohsin to find out the truth about Maaz--how that happens, don't really care. Right when Mohsin is about to blow up at Aina, or perhaps he really does blow up at Aina, I want Imran to return after finding out about Maaz too. I want Imran to offer Aina to come with him so that they can live as a family with Maaz--and either Aina accepts the offer this time (because Mohsin is furious with her and she believes he'll never forgive her) or Aina is seriously considering the offer and Mohsin finds out and becomes fearful about losing Aina. That'swhen I want some big, convincing gesture to come from Mohsin that he cannot lose her and he needs to beg Aina for forgiveness. Aina should tell Mohsin to prove it, and he willneed to prove it. Imran will realize that even if they have a son together, Aina needs Mohsin and Mohsin needs Aina and Imran cannot come between them.

Although the Maaz situation is tricky. I mean Aina needs to apologize to Mohsin, too, for this secret. He'll be mad, but I think justifiably so. Knowing Mohsin, though, he'll say something to her that's so cruel she'll be compelled to leave, or perhaps he'll make her leave himself. That's when Faraz should literally punch some sense into Mohsin about throwing away the best thing that's ever happened to him, and maybe then Mohsin will finally realize the severity of his words and actions to Aina *again, since this happened before the leap, too, but I guess we have to pretend like it didn't*.

I don't know how the logistics of what I just typed out will work, but this is the best I can come up with for how to redeem Mohsin and reconcile the Imran/Maaz stories.

Me too. I liked bits and piece of Basher Momin, and definitely Ushna and Basher's dynamic, but I could never really understand his motivations (until he spelled them out in the penultimate episode or so), and the marital rape and physical violence was a complete no-no for me. No romantic hero in a romantic story can be made to do that, in my opinion, for me to watch that show. I mean Mohsin is an asshole quite a few times, but he has never been physically violent or raped or tortured anyone. He is just cruel in a believable and acceptable way, as good but flawed people can be. Also, I could not forgive Basher's sister, and did not think that Buland, for all his flaws, deserved a partner like her. I think people can raise kids in this day and age (esp. in America, where there is virtually no social opprobrium in the sort of social sphere Buland would inhabit) without being forced to stay married. And all the back-bending Rudaba had to do to make Basher believe her love for him was unwarranted. Ruddaba simply deserved someone better, kinda like in the show Mere Meherbaan where Aiza Khan gets a brand-new, shiny and deserving prince at the end and her awful cousin-cum-former-fiance is made to regret and live the consequences of his decisions. That is how BM should have turned, in my opinion, to be satisfying.

As for Ushna Shah, I did like her opposite FQ. But otherwise, I am no longer interested in either Ushna or FQ. I am into Naveen and Emmad for now like everyone in this thread :-) [/quote]

The marital rape scene and the scene where Bashar killed his own kid and watched it happen were disgusting. This is where Pakistan really needs to look to Hollywood and even Bollywood since there is a plethora of amazing, gangster and mob shows that have flawed leads, but nothing as despicable as Bashar was.

[quote]As for same type of acting that Sami is accused of, I find this charge would hold against someone like FQ as well (although I know he is nearly worshiped by his audience). He has a stat number of characters and ways of playing them, and after having watched them all, I feel like he's going through the motions and these days merely resting on past laurels. Sorry for the harsh words to FQ fans! But hey, regardless of my other preferences, at least I am on the same page as everyone else on this thread wrt Emmad-Navin :-) How's that for an olive branch :D

Absolutely loved your character pieces! I especially loved the Imran one. In so many of these dramas, characters like Imran and their love for the "poor girl" seem very shallow, but the writers fleshed out Imran very well. You could tell he loved Aina and yes he left her, but there was a giant scheme orchestrated for him to do so. That's why I'm not opposed to an ImNa ending--though MoNa is the OTP of OTPs-- because you could tell he always cared for her, and going by his last conversation with Aina, he always will.
