Mohabbat Subh Ka Sitara Hai - Closing Remarks

I know - I haven't been writing lately.  Unfortunately, the current crop of dramas have failed to hold my interest and while I'm still watching 15 + of them, very few inspire me to write.  But I do feel MSKSH deserved some closing remarks after the finale.

This show started off slowly, but progressively got better and better.  The love story between Nabeel & Rumaisa won hearts - at least it won mine.  Nabeel played an ideal husband, Rumaisa his loving wife.  This couple was perfect - unfortunately for Rumaisa AND for the audience, tragedy struck.

What should have been a turning point for the drama instead became the drama's downfall.  I won't claim that this drama was bad.  It wasn't.  It portrayed a very real situation, very real emotions and very real reactions.  What this drama suffered from is very simple:  An uninspiring lead character.  Rumaisa's silence after Nabeel's death, her behavior towards Maham, her behavior towards Zeeshan - instead of inspiring pity, it made Rumaisa highly unlikable.  On the other end, Zeeshan's complete 180 in personality, his behavior twoards Rumaisa (the woman his beloved brother loved so dearly) and his distant behavior towards Nabeel's child was irritating to watch.  Regardless of his feelings towards his situation, I expected to see him act like a human being towards the family of a brother he claimed to cherish so much.

Given, Zeeshan's character progression in the last two episodes was much better, but I did not understand his bad behavior in the episodes leading up to that moment.

I also have to say that the drama dragged needlessly.  For 4-5 episodes, the show had almost zero progression.  This show also boasted of an intense number of villainous characters.

OK, you all must think I hated this show.  Not at all.  I actually really did enjoy it and was sad to see it end.  Unfortunately, it was not a masterpiece and definitely not one of Umera Ahmed's best dramas on air.  But it did tell a beautiful story of love, loss and the re-emergence of happiness.  More than anything, it taught a lesson as to how important communication is!  

The cast did a great job, namely Mekaal and Adeel.  Sanam Jung is such a cute actress and is very talented, but this role was too meek to do her talent justice.  The boys, however, both shone in great roles and shared great chemistry with each other!

One by one, I feel like my favorite shows are ending and are leaving voids, as there are so few new promising shows right now.  But to the team of Mohabbat Subh Ka Sitara Hai - thanks for entertaining us for these last few months!
