Once the show started, however, after about 3 episodes, I lost interest in a huge way. "Just your regular rich vs poor, stuck up vs down to earth love story, complete with nagging, evil in laws."
I was wrong. As the show progressed, the beauty of Yasir Nawaz's direction grabbed hold of me. The simplicity of Ramish's (Imran Abbas) love won me over in his desire for nothing but to see Elma happy. Elma's (Ayeza) heart yearning to speak to Ramish and confide in him by having in-depth imaginary conversations with him brought me to tears.
This show is melodramatic, sure, but it also paints some harsh realities that girls go through. While the feminist in me says "Screw this, Elma, leave your stupid husband and go to Ramish," the reality of the situation is not that simple or easy. I appreciate Elma's growth as a woman and how she's slowly finding the backbone to defend herself against her terrible in-laws.
On the other end, it's nice to see a character like Ramish - that Prince Charming in real life, at least for Elma. While he may not be perfect regarding his fiancée, he still tries to do right. But his love for Elma makes him downright angelic and his love and respect for her family even more so. I'm sure girls everywhere are swooning for a man like this in their lives.
The story is simple, so there's not much to write about technically. A rich guy falls in love with his poor cousin - families oppose it. Girl marries into the worst family, complete with initially-sincere-but-now-cheating-husband who is a total mamas boy (said mama being pure evil). Girl's dad dies. In-laws are awful, only Ramish repeatedly comes to her rescue. And now Ramish has taken in her younger sister, Neha, because Elma's crazy in laws didn't want Neha in the house.
It's exasperating but the direction and dialogues really make you feel vested in theatre of these characters.
I only need it to be a happy ending! Let's hope! This one was short and sweet. BOne more to go in this series and then I have a huge spate of new shows to write about. Happy watching!
Very well written....I also follow this serial from time to time......I really like Ramish's character. Its nice to see such an endearing character in today's time where most male leads in dramas are shown to torture their rives or/and to get hitched again. I had begun to wonder if that is what women like to see now-a-days....a brute of a husband doing unimaginable things to their wives and yet being forgiven....Its such a breath of fresh air to watch Ramish silently loving Ilma from a distance, while also being completely honest towards his fiance. Imran Abbas and Aiza make such a beautiful pair! :)
