Not undestimating Hanias popularity but her last work MPHT too had good teasers only be very underwhelming in the end. And I just don't want to make any assumption without watching few episodes. Have been proved wrong many times.
The initial episodes will indeed get good views but ultimately it will all depend on execution and writing. The major difference though from MPHT is that its from a good writer. I actually don't mind badar. I enjoy Mein despite its faults.
MPHT was written by JALAN ki writer. KMKT is written by FARHAT ISHTIQAQ who gave us Humsafar, DeD, YKS, Udaari. Even bad FI is better than some writer's bests. If there is anything I can be assured about KMKT is that the script will not suck. My only concern is that it doesn't turn out to be a Saathiya or an urban contemporary love story that maybe new for PTV but those who watch OTT content will find this done to death before. In any case, the writing will be good.
Hania's popularity will pull in int'l viewers but Fahad is not some unknown random. He is up there with the likes of Humayun and Fawad. This isFahad's comeback after 10 years. When Fahad does Jeet Pakistan every year in ramadan, he EATS other shows in terms of ratings. So at least, in Pakistan, he is very popular. That alone should get KMKT a lot of eyeballs. There are akso not too many useless side cktrs so focus will be on leads + FI writes romance very well - all these are pluses for today's audiences. Plus they have been promoting it a lot so audience awareness is there.
These factors mean the hit potential for KMKT is very high and these should give them high opening #s, What happens later will depend on content and whether neutral audiences get hooked. THe combo of FI and Fahad gives me hope that this is going to be gr8.
