As per its official facebook page it is another “Mega budget” drama in the direction of Syed Ali Raza Usama. In recent years both Geo Tv and Syed Ali Raza Usama have presented dramas claimed to be “High and mega budgeted” like Bashar Momin, Maryam and Sultanat-e-Dil, but without mentioning the allocated budget amount. A glance at all these mega budgeted dramas is enough to convince anyone that, whatever the allocated budget was, its major part was spent on makeup, dresses, styling and locations while some minor part was reserved for story, script and lighting. Time will tell whether the budget allocation pattern is any different in this serial?
From promos it looks to be another story where two pretty, educated and young (much younger than the hero) ladies are aimlessly fighting for an over-aged and worthless hero (yaaawn!!!!!).
