Every once in a while, a
drama comes along that is so subtle that it can be seen as “slow.” What we fail to realize is how powerful the
performances are and how powerful of a message that drama is presenting us
with. That Is the case with
“Shab-E-Arzoo Ka Aalam.” This show left
such a powerful impact on me without me even realizing it. The characters weren’t falsely idealistic or
overly “vamp”-like. These characters
were human with human emotions and desires.
Episode 23 was the perfect “wrap up” episode, putting together all those
loose threads efficiently without giving the feeling of being rushed. Some relationships are so deep that when you
see that person, you forget all your problems – that was the relationship
between Dawood and Kiran, so it was nice to see that connection when they
reunited. Mohib Mirza and Armeena Khan
did a great job portraying their characters, because I really did fall in love
with Dawood and Kiran. The supporting
cast was great as well. To say that I’m
going to miss Shab-E-Arzoo Ka Alam would be an understatement: I feel like these characters slowly, week after
week, became a part of me.
I’d recommend this drama
whole-heartedly. Subtle, yet beautiful.
I liked that the generally the whole series was subtle and beautiful. No over the top drama and typical 'serial-esque' moments. All the characters handled everything very maturely which was relate-able. Thought I must say as lovely as Kiran and Dawood way, series lack of acting skills for newcomer Armeena which just got more evident as her character became more complex. Apart from that I really enjoyed the whole show.
ReplyDeleteArmeena was a poor choice for Kiran, because she really can't act. But I warmed up to her as the drama went on. I guess I just got used to her. =) She's coming in "Bin Roye Aansoo" with Hamayun Saeed and Mahira Khan now. It'll be interesting to see how she holds her own against these two!
