Overall, the premise of the drama was actually good. However, it failed to make the impact it should have made because the execution was flawed.
I feel the blame goes to the director. Khizar Idrees is/was originally a cinematographer/DOP. He does this job brilliantly without any doubt. One can not ignore the aesthetical value of various shots even in Badshah Begum. However, as a sole director, as yet, he is not capable of handling a big project. He can do short films and music videos, but clearly, he can't deal with a drama serial with a big cast at this point. I felt this in Lapata and I'm feeling this in Badshah Begum. I feel he should work as an assistant director under the supervision of some expert director like Kashif Nisar for a few years to learn the craft and then venture into a standalone project as a director. I do believe if Badshah Begum was directed by Kashif Nisar and Khizar Idrees had only worked as a DOP then it would be a masterpiece.
