Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is a drama that is running on 8 p.m. slot on ARY Digital and it is the current obsession for Pakistani drama watchers. The show is getting high ratings on television and its YouTube views are also massive. Moreover, a drama that reaches the recesses of TikTok and Instagram reels is a sure short hit with the audience. Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is hitting a nerve with the audience and they are hooked to it every week.
Here are 7 factors that are making Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum a must watch for Pakistani drama fans:
A Strong Lead Couple
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum marks the comeback of Fahad Mustafa on the television screens. The star was exclusively doing films and a game show for the past few years and his fans were dying to see him in a full scale drama. It finally happened and Fahad chose Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum to come back on the screens. He is convincing and endearing as Mustafa and he is doing full justice to his character. Hania Aamir is also playing a strong Sharjeena, a girl who is independent and she can make her own decisions. She is practical and women can relate to her struggle. The lead couple’s chemistry and performance is lifting up Kabhi main Kabhi Tum’s viewership and fans are loving to watch the beloved Mustafa & Sharjeena duo on their television screens.
Pointing Out Partiality Done By Parents
This is a taboo that is not openly discussed in society. Parents favour certain children and they will support their favourite kids over the others all their lives. Pointing this out is considered insolent behaviour in society but Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is talking about this in a very open manner. The parents played by Bushra Ansari and Javed Sheikh are shown favouring one son over the other while they discourage the son who has separate interests from their own wishes.
Money Makes The World Go
Money is unfortunately the main factor that drives love, respect and relationships in our society. The fact has been portrayed beautifully through Rubab, Adeel and Adeel’s mother who only cares and respects people with money. Adeel can take any decision, impose his will and can come and go in and out of the house because he earns better than Mustafa. All his shortcomings are forgiven due to his financial status. The daughter in law with a better financial situation is also preferred even if she is evil.
Positive Supporting Characters
Unlike most Pakistani dramas, Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has a plethora of supporting characters that have positivity and they are morally upright. Sharjeena’s parents for instance are very supportive of their daughters. They are not crying for not having a son of their own and they like to be involved with their daughters’ lives even after they send them off to their in-laws.
Mustafa’s sister and his brother-in-law are also two characters who will spread positivity. They will not partake in the mother’s negativity and they tried to make the young couple as comfortable as they can which should be shown as a normal occurence rather than conniving sister-in-laws which we see on Pakistani television.
Villains You Want To See More Of
Pakistani dramas generally have a specific type of loud villains but Adeel and Rubab are different. They are your cool and suave couple who you would like to be good but they are not. The way Emad Irfani and Naeema Butt are showcasing the narcissism is spot on and make their characters enjoyable. Adding to that, the duo also has a character arc where things are happening in their personal lives as well and they are not just sitting at home conspiring against Sharjeena and Mustafa.
Fast Paced Story & Decent Direction
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’s story is fast-paced. Two episodes air every week and the story moves forward which is keeping the audience hooked. Each episode we get a good cliffhanger and instead of dragging out, it resolves the next week. Badar Mehmood has done a great job as the director and he is finally compensating for making a show like Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha. Despite having a huge cast and big numbers on rating charts, Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is fast paced and it is making the audience fall in love with it.
Men Loving The Show Equally As Women
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is one of those rare shows that talks about problems faced by men in society as well. How Mustafa is being treated when he is not the topper of his class, when he earns less than his brother and how society treats men who do not reach the standards they have set is accurately portrayed through Mustafa. This has brought a huge chunk of male audience to the drama who normally would not tune in to the show.
Perfect Work On Casting
The team of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has really worked on casting. Mustafa, Adeel, Sidra and their parents actually look like family. Even they have managed the fitness level of older actors i.e. Fahad Mustafa and Emad Irfani to match the younger actress Hania Aamir and they do not look out of place at all, something that we have seen with Humayun and Yumna who do not look much like a compatible couple. All the actors fit like a piece of the same puzzle and this is making this show a must-watch.
Clean & Believable Chemistry
Sharjeena and Mustafa fell in love in a beautiful way. They took appropriate time and the chemistry is both sweet and believable. There are no swimming pool falling scenes or girls tripping on boys. The romance is old school and mostly in the eyes which makes the whole family comfortable while watching it. A big lesson for all those sensationalizing romance these days.
Relatable Middle Class Household
From Mustafa picking up a whole pot of biryani from the fridge after the wedding to the clothes they wear and eating at road side dhabbas, there is a lot shown in the drama that a normal middle class person can relate to. These little nuances have brought the story closer to everyone’s hearts and they are rooting for Sharjeena and Mustafa even more.
All these factors combined are making Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum a must-watch for the audience. What brought you to the show? Share in comments!
