First of all, I want to apologize for the period I've gone without writing, which has been nearly 3 weeks. Eid mubarak to everyone and hope everyone had a great Eid with their families. I flew down to my parents house to spend Eid with my family (3 week vacation) and have been busy with them since, hence my absence. But now that things have quieted down, let's get back to discussing dramas! =)
While "Digest Writer" didn't bring forth as many expectations, as Saba Qamar's dramas of late have been slightly disappointing, "Sadqay Tumhare" held colossal expectations from my end. So how did these two dramas fare entertainment wise?
Perfectly.
Digest Writer tells the story of Farida, alias Rashk-e-Hina, a girl who writes stories as a passion and her stories earn her recognition (albeit anonymously) once published in a digest.
To add to the story, we have one unsupportive, jealous sister (Maheen Rizvi), one supportive sister and brother and unsupportive parents. Of course, we also can't forget Farida's admirer and cousin, played by Gohar Rasheed.
Moving on to Sadqay Tumhare:
Everything from the OST to the poster suggest a good, old-fashioned love story. What you expect is what you get here - the love story seems to be set in the 70s and tells an incredibly cute tale of an engaged couple, Shano (Mahira Khan) and Khalil (Adnan), who have never actually met. While Shano is blindly in love with her fiance without meeting him, Khalil is a little more hesitant in his thoughts towards Shano. Not only that, but we also see that Khalil has a world of "nakhray," packaged with an attitude bigger than the entire village!
Mahira Khan and Adnan Malik share a world of chemistry despite not even sharing a single scene together yet! Rather, it's the build-up, the writing and the treatment of this story that makes the audience want to see these two characters interact and move the story forward. This show is not only written beautifully, the visuals transport you into Khalil and Shano's world.
What I sense for the future story, looking at Shano's mother's hesitation and demeanor, is that there's a secret between the two families - one that won't allow Shano's family to agree to the marriage. What is confusing, however, is the enthusiasm with which Khalil's mother and father anticipate Khalil and Shano's impending marriage.
All will be revealed in due time, I'm sure! Until then, let's enjoy the beauty and simplicity of this love story. After a long time, I feel emotionally invested in two characters and their outcome.
Happy watching!

It's these supporting characters that add to the quality of the story. At present, we've seen that Zhalay Sarhadi and Farhan Ali Agha's characters are that of a married couple in the drama industry who show an interest in signing Farida as the writer for their forthcoming drama. What will Farida's parents say, namely her father? Your guess is as good as mine, but my hunch is that the lure of money will entice Farida's father eventually!
As of now, this show is definitely one that I wait for each week!
