Revisiting The Attack of Ahsan Khan


Quantity does not equal quality.

This is something that's always said and time and time again, it's proven to be correct.  And it's correct in the case of Ahsan Khan's drama overload as well.

Months ago (in 2013), 4 Ahsan Khan dramas were running side-by-side and making it seem like an Ahsan Khan invasion had come over our TV screens.  My initial thought:  "Wow, Ahsan Khan is finally getting some good, diverse roles as a hero."

I had high expectations.  Clearly, they were not met.

Mujhe Khuda Pe Yakeen Hai and Khoya Khoya Chand have long since ended and were epic failures of gigantuous proportions.



This last week, Meri Zindagi Hai Tu finally came to an end.  Colossal. Fail.  Can someone please explain to me how Nazo and Aman came to terms with Meenu's death and the way they think it happened?  No one can blame Aman for being angry with Nazo - she DID accuse Aman of something without thinking.  HOWEVER, are you seriously telling me that it NEVER came to light that Meeno was the cause of ALL their problems?  This was the worst ending I've seen in a drama in a long time......no.  Wait.  That was Mujhe Khuda Pe Yakeen Hai.  No.....wait.....it was Khoya Khoya Chand.  What's happening here?



And now, out of these four (I'm not counting Qudrat, which is a new addition), Kabhi Kabhi is the only show still running and yet to end.  Which brings me to another question:  Why NOT?  What does this story have left to offer?  Anything?  No?  No thoughts?  No new ideas?  Where on EARTH has this stupid Sunny-Ishaal angle come in?  Why is Ishaal such an EPIC FAILURE of a mother?  Yet she still believes she has the right to raise her son when her husband beats him, treats him poorly, beats her and she's clearly on drugs or something.  We've jumped to 5 years later, yet Soni is still troublemaking, Amma is still blaming Ishaal for her life's problems and there is absolutely no sense to this show!

One has to think:  What does Ahsan Khan look for in a show before signing it?!

On days like these, I'm left wondering:  Why am I still watching this nonsense?  

And as always, happy watching!
