Ohkay so, when this episode ended I had a smile on my face, not because of how sweet or amazing it was, only because of how wrong & nonsensical things were. I mean I feel for the actors, I really do because they were trying so hard to convey the emotions but they weren’t coming through because there’s a thing called substance & that particular thing is missing from the story. Now I know when the Team Noor un Ain came on Good Morning Pakistan, despite Nida Yasir’s continuous attempts, she failed in getting the details from them all because in reality, there is nothing special that they could have talked about. Everyone kept on saying that it is a very simpleee story, veryyy simpleee story whereas now we all know that this story is not only simple, it isn’t original to begin with!

Noor ul Ain & Khizar got Nikkaofied & then few moments later when one of Khizar’s friends joked or rather spoke the truth, Noor couldn’t take it because gugu ko bula lag gaya. I mean did Noor really expect that people will welcome her & Khizar with garlands & shower roses on them after what they have done? Noor’s like ‘mai logon ke sawalon se ghabrati hoon’ hmmmm, so aisa kaam nahi karna tha na boring larki jahan logon ke sawalon ke jawab dene parain. I mean how lifeless is she? I mean she got married to the love of her life, I am talking about that ultimateee love because of whom she didn’t even bother about her parents, the love because of whom she was having sleepless nights & when she got married to him, she didn’t even smile? Seriously? Taking Poker-Face to a whole new level!!!

Well, I am not sure about others but I couldn’t stop giggling when Khizar’s card declined, matlab Nikkah ka khana hi decline ho gaya? LOL! That entire scenario was quite amusing & then the same friend jisay Noor ne Khizar ko batain sunanay ko kaha tha, ended up paying the bill, hahaha!

Well, it was quite weird that Khizar’s mom despite being so rigid didn’t react one bit when she found out that her aik iklota beta got married to Noor, like why was she so cold as if her son bought a wrong sized T-shirt & didn’t get married? Also, Khizar’s protest & baghawat was so masoomana & polite, I mean my 7 month old baby Khizar protests louder than this grown up Khizar. I mean Khizar was talking to his mother about such a do-or-die situation & still there was no finality just nothing in his tone!

So, Noor was feeling guilty & I also couldn’t stop lol’ing at Qasim’s timing because it was all wrong. He decided to tell Noor what a wonderful daughter she is & what an amazing father he has been just when she got married behind his back. Uncle jee ye baatain pehle kar lete to beti shayad unhain bata ke ye gul khilati. I still can not understand why Noor stopped talking to her family just like that? Well Ghazala played another game & told Qasim to invite Sofie’s in laws, as she obviously wants Qasim & Co. to get embarrassed in front of them but then again, I will not blame her because it is Noor who decided to go ahead with this marriage & in this clueless khandaan, it is good to see that at least there is one person who uses her brains. I must say, I feel the need to thank that person who invented Mute button because the moment the episode ended & that singer was about to contaminate my ears with her voice, I muted the TV. All hail mute button! I so wish, all these guys hadn’t signed this project because of each other, like Sajal chose this because of Sarmad, Sarmad went ahead because of Imran Abbas, Imran Abbas decided to do this because of Marina & Sarmad…I wish they all had paid attention to the script to save themselves from such an average drama. Anyways please share your thoughts!

I legit yawned the moment this episode ended & I have also lost count how many times I yawned throughout this boring episode. Copying a story is one thing but executing it is another. I think they should have put more effort into making this drama interesting because we have seen that even if simple stories are executed well, they make a good watch. It is too obvious that they relied heavily on the star power & assumed that people will be jumping with joy despite a boring story but that’s not the case anymore. Noor ul Ain is not only a simple story, the overall drama is quite boring to tune to & doesn’t give you any reason to look forward to it.

I must say, Noor made it sound like her Chachi told her to buy 10 chewing gums whereas her parents had only allowed her 1, so because they were upset, she wanted Chachi to do the explanation, I mean seriously? Please don’t tell me that they wanted us to buy Noor’s bholapan that because she trusted Ghazala so much, she went ahead with this marriage? Even if Ghazala assured Noor that she will take care of everything later, did she really didn’t do any thinking on her part? Never once thought of her parents? Wasn’t that her duty as a daughter to be mindful of her parent’s reaction to this entire scenario? Once again, they tried really hard to make Ghazala a villain but I am not buying that! Mehnat kar ke writer ne khud se 1 hi track add kiya Ghazala ka…wo bhi itna betukka!

Noor’s expressions & tone when she called Khizar to inform that Qasim wants to meet him were so annoying. Noor was like she made a mistake not because of herself like by getting Nikkaofied to Khizar behind her parents’ back, but because she trusted Ghazala? Is she still not taking the blame? Not owning her decision? It was funny that at first she called her marriage a mistake & then the next moment she called her mistake of a husband to inform him that he should come. I think because Sajal over performed in O Rangreza, by the time she started working for Noor ul Ain, she had lost her stamina to act & I think she did the right thing by choosing such a drama because she definitely needed some break from acting & now it can be clearly seen that she is herself bored, tired & unable to act. I think the writer did a huge favor to Sajal by writing a character like Noor who is so expressionless, emotionless & bland & probably so easy for an actress like Sajal to perform!

The entire episode went in Qasim’s murmuring & crying. I must say Noor’s mother bounced back from such a big blow quite well & also started convincing Qasim that he has to accept this marriage now. I am sure she must be lowkey happy & doing bhangra in her heart ke chalo bachi ne bholaypan mai hi sahi, shadi to ameeeeeer larke se hi ki hai na otherwise in such circumstances, it is the mother who slaps, taunts & creates some noise over daughter’s head but Noor’s mother seemed pretty calm after the storm!?!?!?! Hmmmmmm! 

Sofie’s fiancé tried to be the voice of reason but I hope this track is different than the one shown in the movie where Dina’s fiancé succumbs to his parent’s pressures & calls his engagement off with her. I hope Sofie’s sasuralis don’t bother much about Noor but let’s see!

Abba jee ka thappar was quite funny. I mean when he knew that he had to accept this marriage & tell Khizar to bring his mother home, becharay ko awain hi maar diya. Oh, sorry awain hi nahi mara, because Suhani’s father slaps Aadi in Saathiya, how could our copywriter oh I mean writer omit that? LOL! Anways, please share your thoughts & tell me how many times you guys yawned while watching this episode? Oh man, it is going to be a task viewing & reviewing this drama. Such a disappointment!

Ohkay so, I am not sure what made the writer think that the viewers would choose to invest 20+ weeks in a drama when they’d be having an option of watching the same story in a span of a 2 & a half hours, yes I am talking about Saathiya. It is unfortunate that such a dream team came together to give the viewers a good drama but the writer couldn’t create or let’s say be original enough to write something magical which could blow the viewers away!

At least in Saathiya, Suhani’s character got away for being the way she was because in a film, no one cares for the depth but when you are watching a weekly drama, you really want the characters to have a personality. At first I thought that Khizar didn’t have any personality, he was just a rich kid with no direction in life, trying to break free from his mother’s golden cage but as the episodes passed, despite a strong first impression, Noor’s character has fallen flat on its face. Honestly speaking, Noor is not only plain & flat she is downright annoying because of her cluelessness. I remember when the drama began, Noor actually had a personality & we all could see why the drama was based on her character but as the episodes have passed, she has zero personality. I am sure if the stylists had tied 2 high ponytails for Noor, made her wear a frock, had given a lollipop in 1 hand & a teddy bear in another, no one would’ve bat an eyelid because that entire image would’ve gone perfectly with the clueless character that is sporting – a girl who has absolutely no idea what is happening in her life & most importantly why!

To be honest, when this episode began, I decided to catch up with my sisters & best friend on Whatsapp because at the back of my mind, I knew where the story was headed as I have seen Saathiya plenty of times to remember the story. To be honest, I was blown away by writer’s originality when he threw in that scenario where Sofie’s Devar showed his interest in getting married to Noor. How original yaar because Saathiya mai to aisa hua nahi tha!

Well, to be honest, after watching this episode, I could totally see why Ghazala was added in this story as a negative character. Usually in our dramas it is really hard for the writers to make the female leads look negative, therefore they add such characters who can take the blame & justify the wrongdoings of the heroines & this is exactly what the role of Ghazala is but you know what? I don’t find her negative at all, despite such a hard try from the writer, I will not hold her responsible for Noor’s meesna-pan. Noor is responsible for every single decision that she is taking. At least in Saathiya, Suhani owned her decision of going against her parents & getting married to Aadi but here, Noor is shown like that clueless toddler standing in the confectionary aisle unable to make up her mind as to which toffee she should pick but then again, I totally see Noor as the culprit & not Ghazala. Ghazala is just helping her but in reality, this is what Noor herself wants. Noor has decided to get married to Khizar by ignoring her parents’ wishes but the writer just wants Ghazala to take the blame for her. Ghazala might be persuading Noor but this is what she wants too. I found Noor annoying again that she has closed all the doors on her when it comes to communicating with her parents. Ever since Khizar’s mom visited her place, she has cooked khichri with Ghazala but has not even bothered talking to her parents about how she feels. Whatever she is doing especially with her parents is wrong because yes, they trusted her & there she is, shattering it just like that, why? Because she is clueless. It was funny how the writer tried to make her look all naik parveen where she was like ‘mera dil nahi maan raha, Ammi Abbu mere pe trust karte hain’ haan to dheet boring larki, ghar jao aur so jao, Nikkah na karo!

Anyways, I am sure those who will see this drama for what it is won’t have a hard time watching it, but while watching this episode especially, I couldn’t help comparing it to Saathiya, oh I think comparing is not the right word here, I was just reminded of the original story while watching this copy. Anyways, I will try that I don’t see Saathiya in Noor ul Ain next week but I am sure it won’t be easy. To be honest, I am not a fan of Noor’s character at this stage of the drama, hope that might change in the future when she will take charge of her life after getting married to a directionless, lost person like Khizar but right now, sorry not sorry, I ain’t a fan.

Ohkay so, this episode took the story forward but in all honesty, as the episodes are passing by, my interest in the show is deteriorating whereas it should be the opposite in any given case. I remember a few episodes in, quite a lot of people started pointing out that the story of Noor ul Ain was lifted from Bollywood movie Saathiya & seeing this episode & the preview of the next episode further proved that point. It surely is not a bad drama but somehow it isn’t sitting well with me that such a dream team came together for such a mediocre story? (pulpjuiceandsmoothie.com) Even though the acting is spot on & the direction is perfect but the story lacks that charm & since it is so typical & predictable, it doesn’t excite my as a viewer to look forward to it every week!

Well, Ghazala continued to play her mind games. Noor’s mother actually tried to warn her but since she was being too nice, she couldn’t put her concerns through a bit more sternly. Noor’s mother while speaking to Qasim did say that Ghazala till date holds her responsible for whatever happened with Shumaila, which put things into perspective a bit more. Ghazala is taking so much of interest in Noor’s love life & is bent on bringing them together because she wants to somehow take revenge from Noor’s parents, especially her mother.

Noor has fallen in love with Khizar madly & that is why, she is unable to focus on anything around her. This love is taking a toll on Noor & she is clueless as to what she should do. To be honest, even though at first it seemed a bit interesting that Noor just fell for Khizar but now when the story has progressed, it somehow doesn’t seem convincing considering the sort of nature Noor has. Yes, they have tried to show that even a serious, focused & practical girl like Noor can blindly fall in love but since they have so many episodes to cover the story, it wouldn’t have hurt if they had added a little more depth into showing how & why Noor fell in love with Khizar so much!

I thought a wise girl like Noor would deal with this entire matter on her own, but to literally see her following the lead of Ghazala & her friend has taken away the charm from her character. Noor just looks like a child who doesn’t know what to do, like if she decided to be in love with Khizar despite seeing how her parents are opposing it, she should’ve had some sensibility to approach it her way too.

Ghazala continued to play her games & Noor kept on allowing her to do that. I really think Noor should’ve been a little alert after she found out that Ghazala spoke to Khizar posing to be Noor’s mom but then again, she trusts her a bit too much. Ghazala not only contacted Khizar but also tried to talk him into getting married to Noor without his mother’s consent. At least Khizar tried to talk to his mother but she didn’t budge but it seems that Noor has gone into this shell & she is not even considering talking to her parents!

The preview of the next episode suggested that both Noor & Khizar will get married on their own, hmmm Saathiya alert. Let’s see if there’s something else other than Saathiya in store for us. The team however scores full points for perfect acting & direction though. Please share your thoughts.

Ohkay so, this episode covered the predicament of two people in love, who come from very different worlds. It was interesting to see how Noor was getting manipulated just so easily, that too by the person she trusts the most!

Noor might be mature for her age & pretty straight forward, but she doesn’t have the eye to see through someone’s intentions. Just because Noor is clean hearted & innocent, she thinks everyone around her has her best interest at their heart, which unfortunately is not true. Noor sees people how she wants to  that is why despite clear cut agitation & detest of both Sofie & her mother, Noor doesn’t even think for a second that there must be something wrong with Ghazala. It is sad that because Noor trusts Ghazala so much, she is easily getting manipulated & without even thinking for a second, she is following her lead!

Things could’ve been sorted out between Khizar & Noor in a very different manner if Noor hadn’t listened to Ghazala & had done what she asked her to. Noor’s demand of an apology from Khizar’s mother was basically what drifted them apart & this was something that Ghazala knew because after meeting Khizar’s mother, she understood that she was not someone who was going to budge that too after the way she was also insulted at Noor’s place!

Noor at least has found a friend in the form of her colleague who actually feels for her & that is why she speaks sensibly but because what she says contradicts the teachings of Ghazala, Noor finds it hard to go by what her friend tells her. It didn’t take a moment for Noor’s friend to realize that Ghazala was being unreasonable but since Noor is so used to believing Ghazala & trusting her, she didn’t see anything wrong with it even after her friend told her so!

Khizar’s mother obviously said no to meeting Noor’s family once again & it has taken a toll on Khizar because of which he is not in a clear head space. Khizar’s arguement with Mona basically depicted how bitter he was feeling after whatever happened. Noor obviously told Khizar that things couldn’t work out between them & Khizar respected her opinion because even he knows that Noor is not someone who would look for an easy way out & when she has said decided something, she will stick to it!

Ghazala obviously is making sure that Noor stays puzzled that is why she misquoted her in front of her mother & later painted a completely different picture in front of Noor as well. I am not sure if Noor will ever be able to take a decision with her own sensibility & if she will stop letting Ghazala control her.

Overall, this episode was decent but a bit on the slower side. For a change it was good to see Noor’s mother being considerate about Noor’s feelings. This drama doesn’t disappoint but it doesn’t offer something out of the box either. It is a fact that this drama is nothing extraordinary which the viewers expected from such a dream team, but it still is a good enough option to tune to. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Noor ul Ain.

Ohkay so, this episode of Noor ul Ain was somewhat better, no I haven’t warmed up to the characters, nor do I think that Noor’s ordeals were shown convincingly but I felt that the execution of this episode was better plus for the first time in weeks, I didn’t have a hard time watching this episode, or may be because I watched this episode in 3 intervals, I didn’t find it too boring!

Well, like I said, Noman’s sister is going out with this guy who doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to marry her. This entire scenario has only been added to justify whatever Noor did because this way Noman’s mother will get a reality check that all this while she was judging someone else’s daughter, her own was dating this guy & planning to marry him. Noman’s mother is another boring & one-dimensional character, plus now that she knows that no one in the family is paying heed to what she is saying, she should just forget everything & be happy for Noman. I totally see her torturing Sofie in the future, which I feel is going to be another boring scenario of this drama!

Well, I don’t know why those who state the obvious & the truth are shown to be the villains in this drama. Mahrukh is shown to be the negative character where she is maligning Noor’s heart against Khizar but in all honesty, I found her totally right & felt that she was telling Noor the truth. I just don’t really understand why Noor tells everything to Mahrukh when she can’t handle her honesty & her opinions? Noor airs her dirty laundry herself & then disses those who pass judgments on it? This should serve Noor a good lesson that she should then keep her things to herself when she can’t handle the truth. Ghazala who also spoke about Noor was shown as a villain. Bhai is drama mai sabbb hi buray hain siwaye Noor ke!

Khizar is turning out to be a disappointment day after day & Noor is having a hard time with him but he just doesn’t understand. It is funny that the wealth that Khizar left without even thinking about for a second has left him so blinded that he is reminded of his old lifestyle every other day. Fine, Khizar is like that, but then what is Noor doing to motivate him? Yes, I get it, Noor working to provide for herself & Khizar should be enough reason for him to do something on his own but then the way Noor keeps things from him just doesn’t help the situation either. Noor should discuss everything with her husband based on how she says that she trusts him the most plus from what I have seen, Khizar’s immaturity aside, he makes sure to always ask her to tell him everything but Noor just keeps it to herself? Unnecessarily!

Anyways, Noor herself left her family for Khizar so she should stop being so salty about every little thing related to them because she herself announced that she doesn’t have anything to do with them. Plus, if she is missing her family so much, she can always break the ice, take the initiative & go to her home to see them all. Please share your thoughts.

Ohkay so, another week, another boring episode of Noor ul Ain. I think next episode of this drama will be the last that I will review as I haven’t formed any connection with the characters, nor have I warmed upto them. They look like lifeless caricatures performing some characters on my screen that I don’t enjoy watching!

Matlab Sofie ne aisi kya maths ki problem solve karni thi jiss ki tution usay personally hi ja ke leni thi? What was so important that she couldn’t talk to her fiancé on the phone about that she had to meet him personally? Seeing her having a hearty meal looked like a justified reason for which she went to see him because may be ghar ka khana kha kha ke bore ho jati hogi bechari isi liye bahir nikli thi. Then, Sofie ran into Noor, which actually was a set up for their meeting. Besides it being a diasaster, another reason I just can’t continue reviewing this drama anymore is because I get tired of rolling my eyes hard. So, back to my point, I rolled my eyes so hard when I heard Noor complaining that no one in the family contacts her. In stead of knowing how things are at home, she only makes it all about herself. Also, it is amusing that at one hand, Noor tells Khizar that he is the best thing that has happened to him but everytime she sees her family member, she poses to be a bechari who has made a big mistake by getting married!

Noor’s mother has forgiven her & she wants Qasim to forgive her too. Ghazala & Kashi’s scenes are just fillers. The fact has been established that she is a negative character so I don’t feel there’s much left to say about her even though they are pushing the agenda of her negativity more & more.

So, Khizar decided to do something but he ran out of patience real quick. It is funny that the guy who makes such big promises hasn’t even started from anywhere & still has no patience or perserverance. Also, another eye rolling moment of this episode was that without even discussing it with Khizar, Noor decided to resign from her job & this was right after she told him that she trusts him more than anything. Itna trust ke us se baat tak karna zaroori nahi samjha? Also, being someone who has stepped in a professional life already, it was totally bizarre that even before Khizar actually got a job, Noor decided to leave hers because she assumed that his job was a done deal? For someone who has been working & supporting herself & her husband, such a childish decision was hard to digest!

Another eye rolling moment is seeing Sofie’s sis in law’s activities. I am pretty sure she is involved with a guy & going out with him while her mother talks against Noor’s character. I am sure this aspect has been added to prove Noor even more innocent that she is not the only one who fell in love & those who opposed her are going to fall in a pit themselves. Sofie’s MIL will be left with regrets for judging Noor when she will find out that her ladli has been doing the same because the writer wants to justify Noor’s character & her decision. Kashi is also turning out to be a result of bad parenting because the writer is showing this is how Ghazala is going to pay for pushing Noor down the wrong path as well. I am pretty much done with this drama. I laughed out loud when Noor’s friend said ‘itni bari khushi ke baad bhi tumhare muh pe bara bajay hue hain’ which made me think ke uske muh pe bara kab nahi bajay hote.

First we got to see how they do their grocery shopping, then how Khizar brushes his teeth & now how Noor fills up a bucket of water & burns the chai just when Khizar is having a bath? Ridiculous! Anyways, please share your thoughts.

Ohkay so, a poker faced, serious heroine opening the episode with this boring look on her face is not my idea of a weekend entertainment. I was actually put off by seeing Noor’s dud expressions that too in the very first scene. This drama is boring & I don’t really think they are giving me enough reasons to continue watching it!

It is so obvious that the writer is now only adding villains in both Khizar & Noor’s lives to show how they both will stick & fight them together but is it also obvious that writer’s sympathies are with Noor more because Khizar’s past was resurfaced as well about which he himself was a bit concerned.

This drama relies heavily on the filler scenes covered by the supporting cast & they don’t really do much to help the overall story of the drama because the main or as you say, the leading track is not that strong. Ghazala kept on ranting about Noor that she accused Kashi of snatching Khizar’s phone. Sofie’s MIL has got nothing else to talk about that is why she keeps on yapping about how unhappy she is. It is funny that the MIL is concerned about the son who got rejected & is not even considering the happiness of the son who is committed. Forced situations, forced scenes, forced scenarios!

So, Mahrukh & Khizar share a past but again, even in this situation Mahrukh was shown to be negative & Khizar as a low-key victim. On Noor’s front, she has her boss who is flirting with her & Noor who claims that Khizar is her everything, didn’t bother sharing any details with him. For someone who has no one in her life, Noor surely is keeping Khizar distant. I really don’t understand the so-called deep conversations that both Noor & Khizar have because firstly, I didn’t see their relationship developing in such a setting & secondly, I don’t see any substance in their relationship either. How can Noor expect Khizar to understand her when she keeps her feelings or thoughts bottled up. They have just met so how can she expect him to know her in & out?

I found it amusing that Khizar got annoyed when Noor suggested that he should find a job. Also, it is funny that Khizar makes such tall claims where he wants to bring the entire world at Noor’s disposal, yet he is unaware of the basic fact that in order to do that, he needs a thing called money. Marina Khan’s scenes are such a joke, the way she said ‘suit yourself’ when Khizar was about to leave her house & now she talking about petty FB status update, is it a joke or what?

Anyways, the story of this drama is deteriorating & in stead of getting better, it is just going downhill. I think I will give this drama a couple of weeks more & if it fails to interest or entertain me then I will quit reviewing it. I am just not enjoying this drama & despite trying very hard, it is just not happening. Sigh! I was actually excited about Noor ul Ain but it turned out to be such a disappointment.

Ohkay so, as the episodes are passing by, this drama is turning out to be more & more ridiculous. I am sure the team of this drama after watching these episodes themselves must be realizing that they made such a huge mistake by copying Saathiya & choosing to elaborate its story in a weekly drama. The characters lack depth & they are absolutely clueless.

Noor & Khizar’s conversations were so plain & boring. I mean we are watching two love birds who got married without worrying about anything or anyone but it now looks like they both are compromising with each other because they are clearly unhappy & the love has curbed that is why they can’t stop talking about others. Noor’s character is off-putting. It is actually infuriating that Noor is clueless but she still is not owning anything, yes, she half heartedly did say that she admits she made a mistake too but she seems more focused on holding everyone else responsible for this mistake. Noor is acting like a spoiled child who has failed a maths exams but is holding the teacher responsible for checking her paper strictly or setting a difficult test to begin with.

Khizar is clearly disinterested too & because he knows what Noor wants to hear, he keeps on saying that. All of their conversations were just plain boring & didn’t do much. I feel bad for those viewers who expected that things would change for the better after their marriage but oh well, wishful thinking hurts in this case at least!

Noor decided to call Ghazala to let her know about Kashi but as usual Ghazala didn’t believe her. I don’t really know when Noor says that she trusts Khizar so much, why does she feel the need to discuss him or anything related to her marital life with her colleague. The preview of the next episode suggested that may be Khizar was once involved with Noor’s colleague too so I won’t be surprised if they will now turn her into a villain who will be creating misunderstandings & will try to malign Noor’s heart against Khizat because this is what she did in this episode & as usual Noor, the confused soul was left even more confused & low-key suspected Khizar’s intentions too after she heard whatever her friend said about him. They are so going to make Noor the most innocent soul who trusts & believes everyone & anything that they say, in order to show how because of her innocence, her marital life will suffer.

I am shocked that the girl who was introduced as a level headed individual has turned out to be such a confused mess who has no idea how her life is rolling & what she is supposed to do. Now that Noor has gotten married, she still seems unhappy & unsure. I don’t really understand why & how did Noor even think that her parents won’t be mad at her? Like she is mad at the fact that her parents are mad at her? Talk about being a self-proclaimed royalty who doesn’t allow anyone to show any reaction to her wrongdoings!

In the previous episode the way we saw how a newly wedded couple does grocery shopping, this time around we got to see how Imran Abbas brushes his teeth. That entire scene was such a drag & a ridiculous filler that I for once left everything & actually paid attention to it to confirm if they were seriously showing what I was seeing. I really hope they start airing it twice a week or show double episodes to get done with it ASAP as it sure is a very boring & off-putting drama. Please share your thoughts!

Ohkay so, another week, another boring episode of Noor ul Ain. I am not sure what is to be blamed, the writing, the direction, the overall scenario or the half-dead characters. If there’s one word that fits this drama, it is DRY & unfortunately, it keeps on getting drier, even more drier than my freshly done laundry!

Khizar’s be-naam amman jaan came to see both Noor & Khizar & what she said to Noor was spot on. I mean I am sure even she was frustrated at Noor like we all are so she decided to do the honors & ask Noor the obvious question that what did she see in Khizar & most importantly, how did she start trusting him so much that she decided to get married to him after meeting him twice? I guess the writer should have been a little more respectful towards Marina Khan because when an actor of her stature is working in your drama, you should at least give her character a name? What is her name? Does anyone know? This is the second mystery, first one being Noor’s decision of estranging her family to be with Khizar, the guy she just met & got married but can’t even smile while looking at him!?!?!

Sofie was wailing about her phooti kismat but then again, her mother seemed pretty calm. I must say Tanveer Fatima’s calm after the storm has left me scratching my head, she seems in a very comfortable zone after whatever has happened with Noor? So much so that even the bad news from Sofie’s in laws side didn’t shock her enough!

Well, now that Khizar & Noor are married, I will honestly say that I couldn’t see them as a husband & wife, like there is no connection, no spark, no chemistry, absolutely nothing between them to make them look like a couple. I am sure this has to do with Noor’s poker face, I get it, she is a practical, bongi, serious sort of a girl but even then no one is devoid of basic emotions like happiness or satisfaction? Noor’s confessions to Khizar sounded so half hearted as if she was just delivering the dialogues without any emotions or feelings. Also, her confession came as a surprise because she claimed that Khizar had done so much for her emotionally but then where are those emotions? Why can’t we see them? Why?

To me Noor & Khizar seemed like a sibling duo who were now living in a hostel, away from their parents to make a living in the city. I wish Sarmad had directed Sajal to smile a bit because it wouldn’t have harmed anyone & would’ve definitely given me a reason to look at the TV screen for a brief moment & not at the ceiling which I usually stare at when Noor ul Ain is airing. Even though both Imran & Sajal made some contact like side hugs & holding hands but even that didn’t help much to give them an overall vibe of a couple – all thanks to our flat-faced Noor!

As if things weren’t dry enough that they decided to play that weird OST during the 2 minute long scene where Noor & Khizar were doing grocery shopping? I mean I was low-key amused & also cringing that this was the love story we were being made to watch where now we’d have to derive some sweetness out of such a boring scene of seeing a couple doing their groceries? LOL!

Khizar has been making some really tall claims like giving Noor her dream house & doing everything for her but where he should have started doing something straight away, he is arranging loans & depending on his friends for everything? Hmmmm…!

Well, obviously the writer had to bring Noor in front of her parents, so he decided to turn Kashi, a harmless soul into a thief to create that scenario. Really there was absolutely no need for all of this because Noor has left her family & vice versa, so! I wish in stead of wasting energies on side tracks & characters, the writer had put some personality, some depth, some emotions in the main leads because that would’ve done wonders to this drama & had taken it to a whole new level. Anyways, please share your thoughts.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,

Also, a Tip for ARY: Please start airing Noor ul Ain’s Double Episodes so that we can get over with this drama ASAP!
