Opening Thoughts – Interesting & Happening:

Ohkay so, it was yet another interesting & happening episode of Meer Abru. I like watching this drama for the fact that there are quite a lot of characters & at this stage things have started to get a little complicated for most of the characters which actually is a nice build up for what is yet to come. I like how the director has made sure to give a proper coverage to the emotions of all the characters, even though the writers have added a lot of detailing but it is a director’s job to bring all that to life on-screen & the director of Meer Abru surely has succeeded in doing that, so well done!

Abru – The All-Rounder:

So, Sana & Haya continued to get trapped by the lies that were told by Waleed. Haya, who already liked Waleed didn’t take much time in believing that whatever Waleed was telling her was the truth. Sana being a little emotional & mature was making it hard for Waleed to convince her because she kept on doubting him every now & then but because Waleed has thoughts things through, he kept on saying all those things that he knew would eventually convince Sana that he loved her. With Haya, Waleed has taken the easier route where he has told her to keep their relationship a secret & she obviously is obliging while Sana is definitely making it harder for Waleed unfortunately, but while still resisting, she is getting entrapped too.

This fake love triangle may seem interesting at this stage of the drama with one thinking what will eventually happen but while watching this episode, I kind of had a bad feeling. Haya is immature but Sana is quite emotional so I really hope they don’t show one of the sisters (most likely Sana) committing suicide because of the betrayal & then Waleed ending up marrying Haya out of guilt in order to rectify the situation. To be honest, this is the easiest way out that our writers resort to in situations like these so I am hoping Meer Abru turns out to be different. In fact, I hope to see that after Waleed gets exposed, Haya & Sana turn into a formidable duo, form a team & teach Waleed a lifelong lesson, I guess that would be a good change than seeing a girl losing her life over a guy who is not even sincere to her.

I must say, even though the situation that Waleed has created is messy but I really liked the reactions that followed where Abru was trying to get to the bottom of the situation but both Sana & Haya were keeping it from her. I liked the way all these actresses performed during those scenes like the entire vibe was very real & casual like it usually is in real life too. I like how Abru is not just an elder sister who bosses around her younger sisters, in fact she is concerned about them & realizes the responsibility she as an eldest daughter has. It is unfortunate that both Sana & Haya have started to feel irritated by Abru’s questioning but I hope they do realize later that she is doing it to keep them safe. I actually enjoyed minute details like Abru being upset & angry at Haya for not telling her the truth & misbehaving, but then getting concerned that her younger sister might skip a meal – these kind of situations actually add another dimension to the story & complete the drama.

Meer has actually started thinking about Abru & he actually felt like he could ease out around her. It all started off gradually but then Meer found himself talking to Abru on the phone other than discussing work-related details. Saira’s call did force Abru to be concerned about Meer too & she was unsure why was it happening. So far, Meer has not given Abru any reason to see him differently & even he knows that he has not left a good impression on her. I found it interesting that on his own Meer has developed feelings for Abru but is not even thinking about changing her perspective of him. Meer has quite a subtle & different approach towards it because in stead of saying what is in his heart, he was actually questioning Abru to know if she was concerned about him & why?

Saim is serious about Abru & he has even decided to involve his entire family into it. Zebi didn’t have time for her son but then Saira was there to hear all that he wanted to say. Saira did inform him how everyone especially Zebi reacted at the thought of his marriage to Abru but then Saim has made up his mind & he won’t back out. Zebi is kind of selfish & it is ironic that she wants the best for her sons but when it comes to being present for them or giving them time, she doesn’t believe in making compromises. She wants Jamal to set up a business for Waleed before his graduation but when it comes to hearing something important that Saim might have to say, she’s got no time. Also, Zebi spending time with Meer was purely based on the ulterior motive that she has because she feels threatened seeing Meer’s hold & position in the family business.

Meer showed his vulnerable self to Abru because he felt he couldn’t take it anymore but then after seeing Abru’s input, he immediately took it away from her where she might end up feeling that she was his friend, like taking away the power to feel that she had a say in their personal equation. Even though Meer hates the way his father is & how he treats his mother but unconsciously he takes after some of Ghazanfar’s traits too where he belittled Abru & made her feel she was not important to him even if he shared his secrets & feelings with her. I must say, I like how dignified Abru is, she has understood that Meer has some issues & even though she was moved by all that she heard from him, she immediately composed herself & didn’t let him see that she was moved or even affected by his vulnerability or his rigidness.

After seeing Sana with Waleed, Abru intelligently decided to dig deeper into this situation & she was right, Waleed did tell her everything but then again, he wasn’t too scared as he knew that he had the tact of fooling Sana & making her believe him up his sleeve. Even though Abru did warn Sana but she finds herself falling for all the things that Waleed says as she has started to feel for him. Sana definitely believes that Waleed is misunderstood that is why she keeps on giving him one chance after another.

Closing Thoughts – Well Directed & Acted Drama:

Overall, these episodes of Meer Abru were executed brilliantly. The scenes were to the point & the episodes were happening. It is good to see that all the characters are contributing to the story & they all have an important part to play. All the actors especially from the younger lot are making Meer Abru worthwhile. I like how effortlessly everyone has acted & the credit goes to the director for keeping it so casual & real. The girls are beautiful & lovely while the guys are graceful & charming. Loving it so far. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Quality Entertainment:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru were brilliant as usual. While watching these episodes, I could totally feel that they were now wrapping the story up & getting us ready for the final episodes. This drama has been such an amazing journey & I was wondering how much they have showed us in these episodes that it just doesn’t feel like we have watched this drama for so long. Meer Abru is a quality entertainment & I am sure once it will end, I will watch its rerun!

The Luck Is On Abru’s Side:

Abru had everything working in her favor. Even though Abru tried to backtrack from quite a lot of things that were being dished out to her, because she wanted to prove things to Zaibi, Haya & even Waleed, she had no idea that Jamal & Meer were adamant to give her the status & position she deserved. Abru has been through so much but she has picked herself up. However, she still is emotional & gets overwhelmed thinking about Saim. Abru finally came back to Saim’s home & she remembered that everything was just the same but it still wasn’t because Saim was not there anymore. I liked how Jamal & Abru had a conversation but then Jamal knew exactly what Abru was going through mentally & emotionally. Abru has to prove herself & her innocence to everyone in the family who doubts her intentions & this is why Jamal just wanted to do everything properly to put a message across that Abru was not going anywhere.

Jamal found out about Waleed & before confronting him or Zaibi, he decided to do things right. Jamal has now gotten totally involved in the business because he can not see it getting ruined because of his wife’s selfish reasons. Jamal & Meer are on the same page & it was nice to see that Jamal had confidence in Meer that he won’t do anything wrong from now on. Meer has done everything to redeem himself & that is something that even Jamal acknowledges but when it comes to terrible trio as well as Abru, they are still not too convinced about Meer & his changed attitude.

One of the most interesting things that happened in this episode was the change in Waleed’s behavior. He started putting two & two together only to find out that his mother was lying to him as well as Haya. Haya thought she was securing her place in this home by going against Abru but little did she know that Zaibi was against her too. Haya insulted Abru yet again but then, it turned out to be another favorable situation for Abru because then Waleed & Haya got to see the real picture & understood that Zaibi had been lying to them all along.

Maha’s reentry was another blessing for Abru because she told Waleed & Haya everything that they wanted to know about Zaibi. Maha actually exposed Zaibi in front of Waleed & Haya but they didn’t confront her just yet. Zaibi has totally lost the sense of right & wrong, that is why she couldn’t stand the fact that Waleed was now trying to lead a normal & happy life with Haya. I am not too keen on Waleed because he was shown to be like this, he was emotional & someone who didn’t really think much or analyze things but when it comes to Haya, I am not going to ever like her character ever again. Now Haya will make sure to seek forgiveness from Abru but then, I don’t think she deserves to be forgiven because she had seen how Abru was always a mother figure to both Sana & her, so for Haya to actually go against Abru & judge her, based on a little bit of brain feeding makes her a bizarre character!

Sana’s involvement in this entire equation was very interesting. I really love how she always makes sure to uplift Abru when she is feeling down & always lends emotional support to her. Sana had started to feel that Meer loved Abru & she wanted to know more about it but then Abru silenced her. Sana had a chance to speak to Meer directly. It was nice to see Meer coming to rescue Sana, it was now Meer was being a brother figure to Abru’s sisters just like Saim used to be. Meer helped Sana but then yet again, Abru misconstrued & Meer didn’t tell her what the truth was until Sana did. Abru had slowly & steadily started to see the difference there was in Meer’s attitude. How he had changed & how he was going out of the way to do things right. Abru will slowly realize that her feelings for Meer had never died & they will resurface yet again & I can’t wait to see that happen.

Closing Thoughts – Complete Drama:

Meer Abru is such a complete & perfect drama. It has so many flavors & that is what has made this journey so interesting to watch. I have absolutely loved Abru’s character & it is a treat to see such a dignified female lead like Abru in a Pakistani drama. The actors have done a brilliant job in elevating the level of this drama, just everything about Meer ABru is absolutely perfect. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Brilliant:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru were again beyond brilliant. I loved how they showed that Abru’s life was shaping back to normalcy and despite not wanting to, she was being pulled towards things that were good for her. I am so happy that I am getting to see a drama like Meer Abru which is not only wholesome but totally complete. Every single situation & aspect has been taken care of in Meer Abru, that is why it makes it such an amazing drama to tune to.

Abru Decided To Move On:

Meer & Abru finally got a chance to have a conversation with each other. Meer got to explain everything & not only that, he gave her reasons why he was adamant to part ways with Saim. Meer has behaved selfishly & he admits, but now he is full of regrets & the good thing is, he doesn’t shy away from admitting all the mistakes that he has committed in the past. When I heard everyone blaming Meer for Saim’s death, I thought they lacked the basic common sense but going by the conversations that took place in this episode, it was made clear that people doubted that because of business dispute, Meer made that accident happen. Luckily, Abru was with Saim so she knows that it was purely an accident but yes, her notion that Saim ran into an accident because of the stress Meer gave to Saim made a lot more sense than everyone else’s baseless accusations.

The Terrible Trio of Zaibi, Waleed & Haya has gone crazy. They are doing everything to push their agendas. Zaibi is using Waleed for professional gains & Haya for personal gains & either way, her target is Abru & then Meer. Zaibi is using Haya against Abru & she was using Waleed against Meer but after Abru’s rejoining, she will use Waleed against Abru too. Zaibi & Waleed thought that they played their game wisely, they also fooled Meer time & again but then they had no idea that Jamal was keeping tabs on Waleed. I guess Jamal still must not have figured that Waleed did all of that because Zaibi told him to but the fact that he has finally come to know that Meer is not responsible for the current situation at the office was something beneficial for Meer.

Abru was trying hard to get back on her feet but every time she was reminded of the fact that her relation & link with Murad Group wasn’t forgotten. Every time Abru went for the interview, she was asked these personal questions that she didn’t want to answer. It was unfortunate & heartbreaking to see that despite trying so hard to move on, Abru was being constantly reminded of Saim & the tragedy that she experienced in her life. Meer once again came to Abru’s rescue but this time, she didn’t know about it. It was Meer who convinced Jamal to speak to Abru & convince her to join Murad Group again. Abru has taken some decisions on her own but then, her father continued to guide her every step of the way.

I have always loved the relationship that Abru shares with her father & also her sister Sana. Sana has been such a perfect support system for Abru in a time like this where her own younger sister Haya turned against her. Sana is not only mature & wise, she also feels for Abru as she has seen how things have been hard for her. Similarly, her father is sad that Abru was mistreated by Haya like that but then he has no idea that Zaibi humiliated her as well.

Abru decided that she didn’t want to go back to Murad house but it was so heart-wrenching seeing Abru in the office, it was like she was now once again reminded of Saim & all those moments that she spent there with him. This office was the launchpad of their short-lived but beautiful relationship & the way Abru broke down in front of Sana after her first day at work was the most real & natural emotion that they showed. Everything else in Meer Abru has always been a perfect portrayal of reality but this one was heart-breaking & I found myself tearing up for Abru.

The terrible trio thought they were going on the right track & they were slowly succeeding in their plans but they had no idea that luck was on Abru side, mainly because she has never caused harm to anyone, that is why she has an upper hand on them. I can’t wait to see the moment when this terrible trio will seek Abru’s forgiveness, but I wish before that happens, they are insulted & humiliated by the entire family that too in front of Abru. Haya, I can’t stand her & I so wish something bad happens to her, not her baby but her!

Closing Thoughts – Love It:

Overall, these two episodes of Meer Abru had a lot of heart touching moments. I loved the way they showed how Abru continued to pick up the pieces even after being emotionally shattered. Abru was now living for her father & wanted to give him comfort, that is why she was putting on a brave face. Abru has quite a lot of people against her, her younger sister being one of them but even that didn’t deter her from continuing to move on. I have loved all the conversations Sana & Abru had. I am glad Meer got a chance to explain & he has slowly & steadily started doing everything right. Meer spent a long long time being bitter but now, he is trying to undo all of that & is trying hard to be a better person. All the actors get full points for brilliant performances. Absolutely love this drama. Please share your thoughts about Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Emotions Done Right:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru were like a roller-coaster ride of emotions, there was good, the bad & then the ugly. Every single emotion was portrayed to perfection & all of it was so heart-breaking. I hate seeing my favorite character of Abru being treated this way but I am sure she will rise & shine. This drama has to be the best of 2019 for me, the pace has been consistent & every set of episode brings something new & a change of scenario with it. I can not emphasize enough on how good Meer Abru is & what a perfect drama this is. I must also add that one of the best aspects of Meer Abru also is that they show personal as well as professional life & the rivalry in it as well, it is like it immediately shifts the mood & makes you wonder what is happening on the family business front too.

Terrible Trio of Zaibi, Haya & Waleed Have An Upperhand At The Moment:

Abru wanted to take care of Haya & make her feel special that is why she was keen that Haya comes to her father’s house & allow all of them to give her some mental peace & relaxation that she was in need of but Abru had no idea what was going on in Haya’s mind. Haya has proved to be a dimwit & even though I did feel for her when she was being mistreated by Waleed but not anymore, in fact now I want her to fall flat on her face so bad that she realizes how stupid & evil she has been. Zaibi has succeeded in planting the seed of hatred in Haya as well as Waleed’s heart against both Abru & Meer. Zaibi’s agenda has been clear, she wants this family as well as the business to split that is why she is now using Waleed as a pawn to make that happen.

It was unfortunate to see how Zaibi kept on using Saim’s death to rile Waleed up. Waleed is emotional & he is doing everything irrationally without putting much thought into it. He thinks this was he will avenge Saim’s death & teach Meer a lesson but he has no idea that he is making a fool of himself by following what his mother is telling him to. Waleed has been doing everything that will tarnish Meer’s reputation & then in front of Jamal he is making it seem as if he is working alongside Meer to flourish the business further but that is not what the reality is. Meer has obviously understood but his hands are tied. It is like Meer can totally see what Waleed is upto but because he feels guilty & also feels a lot for Waleed for the fact that he has lost his brother, Meer has taken a backseat & is not saying much to Waleed. Meer also knows that no matter what he’ll say, Waleed will never ever understand, so he is not even taking any measures.

So, Haya created a mayhem at her father’s house & she let Abru & everyone know what she feels for her eldest sister. Haya was immature but I actually underestimated how pathetically stupid she was. I actually felt my blood boil when she misbehaved with her entire family but then I low-key giggled too as I could see that she was making a fool of herself, because later when she will realize that Zaibi was just using her, she will be ashamed of herself. I must say, both Haya & Waleed make a perfect couple, they both are equally dumb-headed & foolish, so Mr. & Mrs. Foolish are a match made in heaven. Abru was broken but she was still trying to keep her family intact as she knows that this is something Zaibi wants so bad but she didn’t want her to win. Unfortunately, Abru was once again humiliated right in front of Zaibi & Haya was playing along the lines. At that moment, even Waleed seemed shocked, may be he couldn’t believe that his wife turned out to be a bigger fool than him, may be he felt a burden being lifted off his shoulders that there was someone more foolish than him in this World. I can’t wait to see how Zaibi will continue to torture Waleed & Haya. Haya thinks she has won Waleed over by having his baby, Waleed may want to change but they both will now understand the scrutiny of family politics.

Meer & Abru have hit the rock bottom, they both are shattered, they both are feeling dejected & they both know that everyone around them is misjudging them & their intentions. Meer & Abru are in the same boat & may be this will bring them both back together, because both of them will be able to relate to each other & feel their pain on a personal level as they are going through the same phase in their lives. I can’t wait to see how all of that will happen & how both Meer & Abru will end up supporting each other through this dark phase. Meer is full of regrets, he has no idea how to deal with all of this because he blames himself for putting Saim through so much during his last days, let’s see what he will do to come out of this guilt!

Closing Thoughts – My Favorite:

Overall, these episodes of Meer Abru were action-packed. I don’t think I have said this enough so I will say that again, I absolutely love watching Meer Abru & it is hands down my favorite drama of 2019. One complain that I have with the dialogues is that everyone is blaming someone else for someone’s death. Zaibi blames Abru for Saim’s death & Abru blames Meer for Saim’s death too. I mean, don’t they really have any idea that no one can be responsible for anyone’s death, Saim couldn’t live a day longer than his pre-destined lifespan, but I guess they really are being dramatic about it! Sanam Chauhdry, Noor Hassan, Saad Qureshi, Rabya Kulsoom & Srha Asghar, all of them have been acting brilliantly in Meer Abru. I have also started finding Jia Ali tolerable but I am not ruling out her bad & overdone makeup yet. I love the character of Saira too, it is nice to see a calm & composed person like her who is analytical but also knows how to mind her own business. Saira feels for Abru so much but she knows that Zaibi is after her so she won’t allow anyone to interfere in her personal affair. I hope Meer comes to Abru’s rescue & protects her from whatever this terrible trio of Zaibi, Haya & Waleed is brewing against her. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Full Points:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru took the story forward & while showing how everyone was dealing with the absence of Saim in their lives, they all were still trying to move on. When it comes to pace & the change of scenario, Meer Abru scores full points for it. This drama has remained consistently good & I feel other drama-makers should take notes from Team Meer Abru.

Meer Is Trying To Redeem Himself:

Abru was sent to her father’s place & even before she left, she was humiliated. Neither Saira nor Meer could do anything otherwise Abru would’ve never faced what Zaibi put her through. Meer has finally realized that he was wrong all along & that he doubted Saim for no good reason. Where it was good to see that a stubborn person like Meer was now reflecting upon his mistakes & trying his best to make amends, Zaibi as well as Waleed once again took the wrong direction & continued with their agendas. It is unfortunate that even after losing her son, Zaibi has still not learnt her lesson.

I liked the conversation between Jamal & Meer where he apologized but then Jamal told him he could have all that he ever wanted. Jamal realized that nothing was worth more than his own son & that all of the wealth that he has can never bring Saim back, his aloofness was so realistic but it is sad that Zaibi is not even thinking straight & Saim’s death has not altered her perspective!

Meer was trying his best to let everyone know that he has changed & that he will now do everything to bring them all together. It was bittersweet how Meer was learning every step of the way about all the things that Saim used to do, all the roles that he played & how he acted like a binding force to keep the entire family together. Meer learnt it the hard way that he had Saim’s shoes to fill but then this was his path of redemption where he had already started walking on it!

Abru was shattered & just the thought of having Meer around her made her bitter but then Meer finally had a conversation with her & made her understand that this was something that Saim had wanted for her & Meer was just making that happen on his behalf. I love the fact that even though Meer & Abru are so distant but still every time they are around each other, they still have that connection. Their past is not forgotten & even though Abru has moved on, Meer’s heart still beats for her.

Zaibi & Waleed are upto no good & this time around yet again, they are using Haya as a stooge for their ulterior motives. To be honest, now when something wrong will happen with Haya, I don’t think I will feel anything for her. She’d actually deserve all that Zaibi & Waleed will put her through because of her own stupidity & also for doubting her own sister.

Closing Thoughts – So Far So Good:

Overall, these episodes of Meer Abru were really good. I am loving this drama so far & I am totally impressed with how everything has been unfolding without any delays or dragging. It is truly amazing that even after so many episodes have passed, I have only good things to say about Meer Abru. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Tragic:

Ohkay so, this episode of Meer Abru was tragic. Even though it is a known fact that in the end Meer & Abru will end up together but to see Abru losing such a loving husband was heart breaking. The pace, the direction & everything about this drama is spot on & I am glad we’re getting to see such a drama that has so much to offer in terms of emotions & the ups & downs that the characters go through.

Saim & Abru’s Dream Is Over:

Abru had accepted Saim as her life partner long time ago but slowly she fell in love with him. Saim was a perfect husband to Abru because he not only accepted or loved her, he trusted her. The kind of relationship Abru & Saim shared showed what a faith & trust put by a husband can do for the wife. Abru did love Meer but she got to see how his mistrust in her left her shattered but then came Saim who made her realize that she was trustworthy & worth his love. Abru loved Saim & she was finally at a happy place. Saim & Abru were now going to be together because their relationship underwent another trial but they came out of it stronger but unfortunately, fate had something else in store for them.

Saim could not survive the accident & as tragic as it was, I kind of liked seeing the flashbacks of Abru & Saim because even though Meer was putting Saim through a lot, Abru made Saim feel loved. It was nice to see that before Saim left, Abru got to share all of her feelings & emotions with him where she told him repeatedly that she loved him & that he meant so much to her.

Meer was broken & shattered but more than that, he was guilt-stricken because he knew exactly what he had said to Saim & how hurtful it was. At least Saim’s departure made Meer admit & acknowledge in front of Waleed that he was responsible for what the entire family was going through. Waleed was furious & he let his hatred for Abru cloud his judgement & hold her responsible for all that Saim was going through but Meer’s confession also left him confused.

Saim passed away & even though Saira & the rest of them were trying hard to help Abru in this difficult time, Zaibi took it as a golden opportunity to throw Abru out of her house. It was unfortunate that in this day & age, Abru was being labelled as the reason behind Saim’s death but then, no matter what Abru will say or do, Waleed & Zaibi will not let go of their ill feelings towards her. I am liking the change in Saira’s attitude where she doesn’t stay silent anymore & always is the voice of reason. Saira is not just a spectator anymore, she knows how to take a stand & put forth her opinion, both nicely & sternly. I liked how she gave it back to Zaibi but then, Zaibi was bent on sending Abru to her father’s house!

Saim’s character will be missed for sure. It was refreshing to see such a positive character on screen especially of such kind of a husband who was so supportive of his wife & loved her against all odds. Meer will have to do a lot to redeem himself but I am glad this guilt will weigh heavy on his heart that he hurt Saim the most when he was alive & he caused him so much distress in the last days of his life. Not liking Meer’s character at the moment. He needs to sort his mental mess now!

Closing Thoughts – Brilliant Acting:

Overall, these episodes of Meer Abru were very emotional & heart-breaking. I know this has been the trend that our drama makers are following for quite a while now but I find it funny that everyone finds that perfect white suit in our dramas to wear while mourning the loss of their loved ones, so unnecessary I must say. I hope after that scene Mirza Zain Baig wasn’t left with a strained neck because Noor Hassan kept on shaking him so bad during Saim’s death scene. All the actors portrayed their emotions brilliantly. The direction of this drama & the acting has been one of the best we have seen in recent times. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Awesome:

Ohkay so, this set of episodes of Meer Abru covered another hardship that Saim & Abru had to overcome as a couple. I can not emphasize enough about how much the pace of this drama has impressed me. I love watching Meer Abru & what I like the most about it the sense of relief I feel knowing that whatever is being shown will be dealt with within these couple of episodes. I think the strategy of airing double episodes has also played a huge role in the impact that this drama is making but still hats off to the entire team for keeping the pace so consistent & story moving forward so seamlessly.

Maha & Zaibi Threw Meer Under The Bus:

Saim found out immediately that Maha was doing everything because she was being told to do all of that & for Saim, what mattered the most was conveying that to Abru so that she stops misunderstanding him. Saim tried to win Maha over to have her confess everything. In the meanwhile Meer tried to play his cards carefully as well because he saw this as a golden opportunity to drift Saim & Abru further apart, but Meer never in his wildest dreams would’ve imagined that Maha will throw him under the bus.

Maha did confess everything when she saw she was exposed but Maha also didn’t want to shock Saim by letting him know that it was his own mother who was trying to create misunderstandings between him & Abru, that is why to save Zaibi’s name, she turned Meer into a culprit & held him responsible for what he never told Maha to do. Obviously for Saim & Abru, it was very easy to believe that Meer was the mastermind of this plan but then this time around, he actually was not guilty. Yes, Meer has played his part too as he can not accept the fact that Saim & Abru are happily married & pretty much in love but then, he didn’t bring Maha in the picture.

After everything was exposed & Saim & Abru were back to normal, Zaibi tried to push her agenda further. In this episode, it was nice to see Ghazanfar immediately realizing that Meer hadn’t done any of what Zaibi was accusing him of. Meer getting this support & assurance from Ghazanfar took him by surprise but it also showed how even this much of faith from his father was overwhelming for Meer. Even though Ghazanfar advocated Meer, it still was a win win situation for Zaibi because either way, she had planted the seed of hatred in everyone’s heart & despite Meer not being guilty, she got to use it to drift everyone apart.

In this episode, another brilliant change was in Haya’s behaviour. I loved seeing her fighting for her rights & letting Waleed know clearly that she was not going to tolerate his mistreatment. I loved seeing Waleed being helpless because he exactly knows that Jamal will never allow him to send Haya away from this house. That entire scenario was very realistic where Haya after facing Waleed sternly felt weak when she came out of the room, she knew it was going to be hard but then she mustered up the courage do to so. I also loved seeing Abru being considerate towards Haya & checking up on her. Abru never stopped being Haya’s elder sister but yes, she did distance herself to make Haya realize about the gravity of her situation.

I love Meer Abru for the fact that it offers so much, all sorts of emotions coming from all thr characters. They all get to contribute towards the story & where there are sweet moments, there are heart-wrenching ones too. I love how they have shown certain relationships like that of Abru & her father, Jamal with everyone in the house, similarly Saira’s love towards her family, Abru’s consideration for her sisters. Everything about Meer Abru just ticks all the boxes & that is why this drama is so so so special!

Closing Thoughts – Heartbreaking Precap:

These episodes of Meer Abru were just as interesting as the previous episodes have been but the preview of next episode left me heart broken because I so didn’t want to see anything happening to Saim’s character. Yes, we know that Meer & Abru are meant to be together but it is unfortunate how everyone will have to bear such a huge loss to come back together. It seems Saim’s death will put things into perspective for everyone & make them realize that they are one family & they are stronger together. So not looking forward to a death of such a beautiful character, it’s already breaking my heart. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Phenomenal:

Ohkay so, first just let me ask Team Meer Abru straight away that how did they make such a good drama, I am beyond impressed. This drama just keeps on getting better & better, which is just amazing. The direction, execution, twists & turns, story-telling, acting, all the different scenarios; everything about Meer Abru is beyond impressive & what acts like an icing on the cake is the perfect & fast pace of this drama. Every set of episodes has something new to offer which changes the dynamics of the story.

We Need More Characters Like Abru:

These two episodes focused on how Maha was bent on ruining Saim & Abru’s relationship, but what’s sad was the fact that Meer knew exactly what she was doing & he was kind of hoping for that to happen too. Maha continued to make Abru awkward by making it obvious to her that she knew Saim more & he was more attached to Maha than his own wife. Abru immediately realized that something was not right but Saim didn’t feel such a thing as he assumed that Maha was just being herself. Saim had no idea that Maha was trying to create a rift between Saim & Abru plus he also didn’t really know that Maha was making Abru uncomfortable with her chumminess with him!

Abru has fallen in love with Saim, even though she developed feelings for him over the time, she somehow felt it was the right time to let him know. May be seeing Maha in the picture made Abru realize that Saim meant so much more to her that she had realized before. Abru confessed her feelings & that was the sweetest part, Saim really couldn’t believe that Abru was so observant & that she noticed even the smallest of gestures that he did for her or anyone else. Abru felt happy that she had finally let Saim know what was in her heart but they both had no idea that their relationship & love for each other was going to be tested.

On Haya’s end, she was being mentally tortured by Waleed, but what else could she expect from a shallow & selfish guy like him. Walled thought this was the best way he could get back at Haya for ruining his life. The highlight of this entire episode of Meer Abru for me was the way Abru motivated Haya & told her to not settle for Waleed’s atrocities just like that. For a second, I couldn’t believe that this was exactly what I was hearing because who in our drama ever tells a girl to take a stand? This is the reason why I like this drama even more that we have a girl like Abru who is so self-sufficient & emotionally sorted & now she was the one telling her sister to buck up & fight for her rights. Abru’s heart finally melted for Haya & it was nice to see that Haya now had Abru to guide her through.

So, Maha created this misunderstanding between Abru & Saim. Saim knew that Abru loved Meer when they got married, so it was like everything was just transparent in front of him but now Abru was made to believe that Saim has been hiding his feelings about Maha from Abru all along. Abru left but that basically sealed the deal about the fact that more & more misunderstandings were going to be created because suddenly there was no communication between Abru & Saim plus Abru was not even giving him a chance to explain. I did feel that Abru was being stern in her approach & she was only believing what she wanted to believe, something exactly that Meer did to her as well.

Saim tried his best to make it all right but he had no idea that Maha is playing her cards well, she kept on putting Saim in one difficulty after another but Saim just didn’t know how to come out of it as Abru was not by his side. I felt kind of relieved that Saim heard Maha discussing her plan with someone on the phone, like it is not a secret anymore. Even though the preview did suggest that Saim was talking on those lines with Maha but I feel it might be his way of having her confess everything, we’ll find out. Meer has been the mastermind all along but he is playing it subtly, he lets Abru know openly that he still loves her but when it comes to Saim, he keeps it subliminal & doesn’t really show it to him so much. Meer already knew about what Maha has done that is why very subtly he planted a seed of doubt in Saim’s heart against Abru which forced Saim to be worried about the fact that Abru was in contact with Meer. Misunderstanding after misunderstanding, doubts & suspicion are going to ruin Saim & Abru’s relationship, but somehow I am relived that Saim did not cheat on Abru, they both are just being the victims of planning & plotting that is being done against them. Let’s see what happens!

Closing Thoughts – Brilliant:

Overall, these two episodes like all the previous episodes of Meer Abru were beyond brilliant. Sanam Chaudhry is the star of this drama & so are Mirza Zain Baig & Noor Hassan. They all have elevated the level of this drama with their phenomenal performances. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Change of Dynamics:

Ohkay so, these episodes of Meer Abru once again took the story forward & focused on the changing dynamics of the entire Murad family on both personal & professional levels. Where some of the family members did their best to do the right thing, others were adamant on doing everything that is wrong. This is what I love about Meer Abru that this drama is like a complete package which covers all the aspects of the characters’ lives, that too in such a brilliant manner!

Meer Has Made His Decision:

Jamal & Ghazanfar made sure to bring Haya into their home because they wanted to rectify the mistake that Waleed committed. Waleed obviously still fails to see his wrongdoing & continues to argue that he has nothing to do with Haya even after he knows that she is expecting their baby. Zebi tried really hard to talk Jamal out of his decision but I liked how Jamal slapped her with a bitter reality of how she has failed as a mother. Zebi really can not take the credit for being an ideal mother to both Saim & Waleed because like Jamal said, she was always a bit too pre-occupied with her social life. Even though what Zebi wants is something evil but luckily for her, Meer is onto achieving exactly that without even worrying about the consequences or the fact that he is hurting his own family by doing all of this. Zebi will never openly admit that this is what she wants but deep inside she is quite happy that Meer is working in the favor of her agenda as well.

Haya might have come to Waleed’s house but she exactly knows that she is just being imposed on him. Even though it is unfortunate that Haya is facing all of this but then she has also realized that this is not anybody else’s mistake but her own. At least Haya’s bubble has burst therefore she won’t be too affected after witnessing more atrocities that Waleed will commit because this is something that he is not even hiding or sugar-coating in front of Abru as well as Haya. Jamal, Ghazanfar, Saira & even Meer have showed support to Haya but then she is completely aware of the circumstances in which she has been brought to this house so it is still very hard for Haya to act normal & come to terms with everything.

Meer has now openly declared that he is going to part his ways with Saim & that he can not continue to work with him. This has obviously not only forced Jamal & Ghazanfar to think about Meer’s reasons but has also forced Saira to speak up. Jamal & Ghazanfar are still in the dark about the fact that Meer loved Abru & he is doing it all on the basis of a misunderstanding but Saira tried to make everyone realize that Meer must be having a strong reason behind it. Both Saim & even Meer do not want to put Abru in an awkward position in front of Jamal & Ghazanfar but they will eventually find out as this has now started affecting their family business as well as their reputation so they both are not going to take it lightly. Also, one of the best scenes this week was Saira’s response to Ghazanfar’s same old accusation of her failing as a mother. Everything that Saira said actually did force Ghazanfar to think for a second about all that she has done her entire life. Saira should give it back to Ghazanfar more often, I’d love to see that happen again & again.

Well, just when I was super happy with the fact that there are no annoying characters in this drama & that everyone has something special to contribute towards the story, we got Maha. Maha happens to be Meer’s cousin but she is best of friends with Saim & she seemed a bit dumb headed to not really acknowledge the fact that Saim was now married & that she was making Abru totally awkward with her immaturity.

Closing Thoughts – Super Interesting:

Overall, these two episodes of Meer Abru were perfect just like all the previous episodes & now it seems another chapter is going to be unfolded with Maha in the picture because we all can predict what she is here for. Meer was once again seeking pleasure with the fact that Maha’s chumminess with Saim was making Abru a bit uncomfortable, it was like he could see that Abru will now understand what Meer goes through seeing her with Saim as his wife. Meer’s character has to be the most interesting aspect of this drama because it is the same Meer who handled Haya Waleed’s case with so much of maturity but when it comes to Abru & Saim, he is not giving them a benefit of doubt. Super interesting so far. Can not wait to see the remaining episodes. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Fast Paced:

Ohkay so, this episode of Meer Abru was intense & beyond brilliant. Let me take a second to digest the fact that we are getting to see a Pakistani drama which is so fast paced because usually when some big secret is revealed, the next 20 episodes are dedicated to incessant crying of all the characters, side characters, gardeners, servants, drivers, neighbours & relatives but I am pleasantly & ecstatically surprised that in Meer Abru, the story is progressing so efficiently. Props to the entire team of Meer Abru for giving us such a brilliant & well-executed drama.

Meer Saved The Day:

This episode covered one of the most important & defining curves of the story & the director made sure to make it intense & packed with emotions. Firstly, Ahmad finally found out the reason behind Haya’s suicide attempt. I felt bad for Ahmad because he did everything to raise his daughters with right values & standards but Haya defied everything that Ahmad had taught her. Ahmad was already perplexed because he had absolutely no idea about the reason behind Haya’s irrational behaviour but once he found out, he couldn’t help resort to an extreme measure where he wanted her out of his home. Abru has to be the best thing that had happened to Haya & she should be thankful to Abru for guarding her & doing everything to keep her protected.

Saim not only believed Abru & Haya but he also tried to come to a conclusion because he wanted Waleed to take responsibility for everything. Saim did the best he could but he obviously was finding it hard to convince everyone because he had no solid evidence to prove that the Nikkah took place. Saim’s decision of bringing Ahmad to his place was a smart move, even though no one at that point believed Ahmad but they were forced to think about it for a while. The way Saim goes out of the way for Abru has to be the best thing about their relationship, it is like he leaves Abru speechless that there is a man in her life who happens to be so selfless & compassionate.

Meer came along & saved the day. Meer is a man of his words, he promised Waleed that he’ll save him if he will never get involved in something shady but now when he found out the truth, he made sure to do right by Haya, Abru & everyone because Waleed was at mistake. Waleed was winging it till now because he believed no matter what happens, Meer will continue to support him, this thing kind of put Zaibi’s heart to ease too because so far she was making the most of the rage that Meer had towards Abru, but not anymore. Even though in front of everyone Zaibi made sure to support Waleed & brush what he did under the carpet but it was actually good to see her questioning Waleed in private & feeling disgusted at how low he stooped. Just like everyone else, even Zaibi could not believe that Waleed could do something like this but then she had a bigger problem with the fact that Waleed was coming under the radar because of a girl who happens to be Abru’s sister. After seeing how everyone was now coming to stand by Haya & protect her, it was obvious to Zaibi that her position weakened whereas Abru’s strengthened.

Abru & Meer’s conversation was about Waleed & Haya but the underlying feelings were about something else. Abru once again spoke about how Meer should have trusted her before but then, they weren’t meant to be together, at least for now. Meer is suffering the most but he found it in his heart to do the right thing, even if it meant that he had to do something that was in Abru’s favour. Meer is madly in love with Abru & it makes me feel for him. I liked that Saim took this opportunity also to make Abru understand that she could trust him & that he had no issues with her & Meer’s interactions because he has come to terms with the fact that they both live under the same roof so they are bound to have some conversations.

Closing Thoughts – Beyond Brilliant:

Overall, this episode was superb. I love the way the story is unfolding at such a perfect pace. I must say, I liked Noor Hassan’s acting before in Abroo & now in Meer Abru, he has outdone himself, so I guess he really should appear in all those dramas that have the word Abru in the title because he is on top of his game in Meer Abru. Noor Hassan especially was phenomenal in this episode followed by all the actors especially Saad Qureshi. Srha Asghar has also succeeded in putting across Haya’s heart break convincingly. I love the equation Abru, Sana & Haya share with each other. I guess I’ve got nothing else to say but just that I absolutely love watching Meer Abru & it is my favorite drama. I am gutted that we got single episode this week, hope after Ramadan they go back to the usual air time Please share your thoughts about this episode of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Fast Paced:

Ohkay so, these episodes of Meer Abru were intense & well-executed. I must say, what I am loving about this drama the most is the pace. I am super happy that they are not only taking the story forward but are unfolding one scenario after another which is keeping it all very gripping. To be honest, for a Pakistani drama that too of recent times, the pace is unbelievable (in a good sense) because the drama buffs have gotten used to slow paced dramas that this one is such a breath of fresh air. Just when I was rejoicing on the note at which these episodes ended, I was pleasantly surprised by the preview of the next episodes too, so much so that before even discussing these episodes I am so excited to be mentioning the precap already!

Saim & Abru’s Life Is Not Going To Be Easy:

Abru & Saim started off their marital journey & they both were getting to know each other. Abru was learning more about Saim & as the days passed, she found out what a thorough gentleman he was to be making sure to take care of each & everything related to Abru. Abru was now becoming comfortable with Saim but the fact that she is under the same roof as Meer does weigh her down emotionally. Even though Saim was happy that Abru was by his side, he did somehow at the back of his mind have some inhibitions because he is well aware of the fact that Abru was once in love with Meer whereas she just respected Saim immensely.

Saim & Abru will have to stand by each other’s side through thick & thin, which they would considering how they both are mature but the sad truth is that their journey is not going to be easy since so many people around them have their personal vendettas against them – be it Meer, Zaibi or even Waleed. As much as Saim & Abru are trying to find their happiness in each other, Meer is making sure that neither of them forget the equation once Meer & Abru shared. Meer went out of the way to let Saim know about the conversations Abru had with him on a personal level like discussing her likes & dislikes, the only reason behind bringing them up now was to make Saim feel that he didn’t know Abru as much as Meer did. I loved the way Abru put Saim’s heart to ease & assured him that all that she said was done & dusted & now she was only focused on keeping him happy & prioritizing her relationship with him!

Abru did have a conversation with Meer but it was kind of her final reminder to him to leave her alone as she knew what he was trying to prove to the entire family. Meer is in denial & not only that, he is bent on proving it to Abru too that she can not backtrack from the feelings they had shared even if she is married now. Meer is letting Abru know that he still desires her, he needs her which obviously is emotionally draining for Abru!

Just when Saim & Abru started their relationship after going through so much, they were faced with another hardship where their relationship & their sincerity towards each other was tested. Abru had told Saim the truth but for Saim is it going to become very difficult as he will be torn between his family & Abru. Haya fell pregnant & Waleed ditched her. I kind of laughed at myself when I recalled mentioning in one of the previous reviews that Waleed was quite shareef, well not so much. Waleed did what he promised in order to get back at Abru but in the course of his action, he ended up ruining Haya’s life. Haya turned out to be quite stupid to be honest but yes, she is equally responsible for the mess she has created. Yes, she was naive but then she ignored Abru’s warnings continuously.

Everything became a lot more complicated when Haya attempted suicide. Waleed stayed unaffected but then everyone else was shaken. It was nice to see how Saim despite not being fully convinced still questioned Waleed after hearing Abru’s side of the story. Saim just didn’t rule the fact out that Waleed was not capable of doing something like this. Saim’s confusion was translated brilliantly where he was still not sure but still had to ask as he saw what Haya did to herself, so he wasn’t left with an option to not believe that Haya must be telling the truth.

Waleed got Meer on his side as he has already understood that Meer is pretty much against Abru, so Waleed knew that Meer will buy whatever he will tell him & it did work. Meer, without even thinking things through went straight to let Saim know that Waleed had his back, it was more like a declaration in front of Abru that now no matter what the situation will be, she will always find Meer opposing her & standing on the other end of the spectrum. Meer has literally made it his mission to fight Saim & Abru be it in his personal or professional life. I so want to root for Meer & Abru but right now, Meer is obviously making it very hard to like him, but I still do!

I must say, I am super impressed that they let the secret out & didn’t just drag everything. Abru found out about Haya’s pregnancy & then she shared the truth with Sana too. I was shocked (read surprised) that Ahmad found out about it too. I am glad they are not just dragging things for the sake of it & are taking the story forward to keep it interesting & engaging.

Closing Thoughts – Breath of Fresh Air:

Overall, these two episodes of Meer Abru were superb. This drama has every single flavor & what I love the most about it is that every single week, they give us so much to discuss & talk about. Just when things were going smooth, they gave us another twist in the story & this one is going to affect everyone’s life. All the actors are performing brilliantly & once again, like I have said it before I will say it again, I love how casual & candid reactions of all the characters are added which make everything seem so realistic & relatable. Waleed’s expressions especially are so real & he makes me laugh every time because of his meanness. Sanam Chaudhry has taken Abru’s character to another level, she is honest, fierce & strong while still being bound by her relationships which she respects & do not want to get hurt. Abru’s character is such a breath of fresh air & so is Saim’s. Meer is twisted but he can get away with it because he has a solid reason to be this way but then I hope he stops hurting Saim & Abru because they both gave him a chance to reflect & rectify but he didn’t. Loving Meer Abru so far. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Complete Package:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru finally revolved around Abru’s state of mind & the actual reason why she finally felt Saim was the right person to get married to. I love Meer Abru for the fact that the emotions & everything that the characters go through have been conveyed so perfectly that it helps you understand their struggles & actually makes you feel for them a lot. I also love the fact how the scenes have been generally executed with so much happening in the background that it somehow completes the entire picture.

Abru Finally Made The Decision:

Saim convinced Abru to think things through before making her final decision. It is actually so nice to see that Saim not only understands Abru’s confused state of mind but he also wanted to let her know that he is going to support her no matter what. Saim decided that he should try for the last time to see if either Abru or Meer want to be with each other then he will do what it takes to make it happen but Abru had her reasons & Meer had his.

Meer & Abru weren’t meant to be, that is why Meer decided not to budge or give Abru a benefit of doubt & ever since Abru saw how Saim was putting his trust in her, she kept on getting convinced further that he was the right choice & he won’t let her down ever. Abru did give everything a second thought that too because Saim told her to but then as things unfolded, she realized that Saim was not only going to complete her, he will become a son to her father & a brother to her sisters, which was super sweet.

I love the relationship that Ahmed shares with Abru especially, since she is the eldest, Ahmed has a very strong bond with her because he knows that she understands his emotional struggles too. Saim decided to lessen the burden of Ahmed by extending full financial support but then he actually expected that Ahmed will keep it a secret from Abru which obviously was hard for him to do. Ahmed was getting separated from his daughter & he was emotional, therefore he couldn’t keep it from his beloved daughter that she was marrying a thorough gentleman who was winning their hearts right from the beginning. I feel because Ahmed also knew that Abru was still in a bit of a fix & was unsettled, he let her know how nice Saim was to put her heart to ease. The scene where Abru wholeheartedly accepted Saim & told him that she had no doubts about him was super sweet. In that scene I actually felt that they both immediately shared a strong chemistry because Abru had no inhibitions left & Saim was now at peace too knowing that Abru was finally free from everything & she was ready to spend her life with him. It was executed brilliantly.

Meer continued to suffer but he made it very obvious to the entire family that he was not thrilled about Saim & Abru’s marriage. Ghazanfar & Jamal were still in the dark & didn’t really know why Meer was behaving this way but apart from them, everyone very well knew the reason behind Meer’s unusual behavior. Saira felt for her son so much but she had to put on a brave face for Saim because he is like her son too. Where Saira was trying hard to happy for Saim, she was constantly feeling the pain as she knew that her son Meer was not happy. Sometimes I feel Ghazanfar & Zaibi would’ve made such a nice couple because they both seem totally compatible with each other but then oh well. Every time I see Ghazanfar being angry & screaming, I chuckle because I feel it will take a toll on his health. Poor soul!

Waleed has started ignoring Haya but then this was his plan all along. For Waleed Haya is just his trump card that he will use in order to bring Abru down. Haya is unable to understand the reason behind Waleed’s changed behavior but then she will keep on guessing because she can never even imagine that Waleed was never sincere with her to begin with. Sana is still concerned but then Haya is not going to give away any details to her however, it was nice to see both of them coming together & enjoying Abru’s wedding. Their dance sequence was done so nicely too like effortless & still coordinated. Abru’s expressions where she saw her sisters being happy left me teary eyed, I just love Abru’s character. Also, another moment I noticed & loved was when Haya fixed Sana’s dupatta during Abru’s Nikkah, it’s moments like these that actually make everything very real & relatable.

Finally, Saim & Abru got married. The way Abru immediately stopped making an eye contact with Meer after she got Nikkahofied with Saim went to show that she was now going to maintain that safe distance from Meer & it was like she was consciously reminding herself that she now belonged to Saim. Meer was heart broken & Saim was relieved, it was like even right till the moment Abru said Qabool Hai, Saim was unsure of what she will do but when she said it, his heart was put to ease. Their first interaction as husband & wife was really sweet too!

Closing Thoughts – Loving It So Far:

Overall, these episodes of Meer Abru were superb. This drama just keeps on getting better. Sanam Chaudhry is the star of this drama & she surely has carried it on her shoulders like a champ. Noor Hassan is another star & so is Mirza Zain Baig. All the actors are doing complete justice to their characters & they all have owned & nailed their characters. I wish Jia Ali hadn’t tried so hard to speak in English, because it does look like she is struggling & she sounds super fake. Not even going to even say anything about her make up & styling because it’s a well-established fact by now. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the drama. Execution brilliant, direction brilliant, acting brilliant, story & dialogues brilliant, overall feel brilliant. Loving it so far. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Opening Thoughts – Intense & Gripping:

Ohkay so, these episodes of Meer Abru were intense & had so many gripping moments. What I like the most about this drama is that all the tracks have been handled with a lot of finesse & attention. There is so much going on but nothing feels like an afterthought. All the developments unfold appropriately & does not leave anything for viewer’s imagination. The credit definitely goes to the director for handling this script in such a way & doing justice to it completely.

The Dynamics Are Changing:

Haya turned out to be more stupid that I thought. Even though she knew that Abru had an issue with Waleed & she constantly took Sana’s name in the mix but still she was so blinded by the love she had for Waleed that she didn’t even think about the consequences. At this point I feel Abru should have involved Sana & they both should have had a conversation with Haya about the game that Waleed was playing because Abru clearly understood what he was upto. When Abru especially found out that Waleed had proposed to Haya, that is when she should have told Sana to tell Haya everything. I am not sure what Abru was waiting for, or may be she thought that Haya wasn’t this stupid, Waleed had just proposed & they weren’t going to do something serious!

Waleed & Haya got married & that’s when Haya’s attitude changed. I seriously don’t blame Haya because people often take such steps in the name of love but they don’t really realize what the other person is actually like. When I saw the promo last week I thought Waleed will harm Haya but ye to kafi sharif type hi nikla, lol. He married her & then dropped her home tameez se. Which was unexpected but nice. May be Waleed will slowly start torturing Haya which obviously is his plan but for now, he is behaving which is good. Haya’s attitude made me chuckle, it was like after finding a wealthy & smart guy she started behaving all high & mighty in front of her sisters – so typical & real because this is what actually happens when immature people fall in love while having a wrong idea!

Abru’s character is just so so nice, she is well-rounded person who not only understands everyone around her but strives to be there for her loved ones always. I love the way she is so authoritative with her sisters while still being frank with them. Every time Abru says ‘ye tum kiss tarhaan baat kar rahi ho’ always seems so genuine as if she really is hurt because she can see where her sisters are going wrong & are not allowing Abru to help them. Abru is someone who only expects her sisters to respect her & when they don’t, that is what hurts her the most!

Meer continued to be unreasonable with everyone around him, be it Abru or Saim or even Waleed, where he supported Waleed & overruled all the concerns Saim had about his involvement with Abru’s sisters. Meer loves Abru madly & he is proving it by taking one irrational decision after another. Meer is unable to put his mind to the fact that he is causing pain to everyone around him just because he himself is hurt. Ah! That scene where he calls Abru to the office for a few minutes, only to see her. Our hero here is so misunderstood but sad is, he is not doing anything to fix his image either.

Saim continued to show support to Abru because he genuinely understood her struggles especially in the matters concerning Meer. It is like Saim loves Abru but he also feels guilty for what he is putting her through as no matter what, Saim is well-aware of the fact that even Abru had feelings for Meer & she loves him, even if she denies it. The scene where Abru is dressed as bride with Meer walking upto her & they both have their eyes locked on each other was beyond brilliant. In that moment, no words were spoken yet so much was said, Abru still melts every time she sees Meer & Meer doesn’t hide his feelings either but unfortunately, they both can’t be together. Saim saw everything which made him uncomfortable to the point where he even decided to ask Abru if she still wanted to be with Meer. If Saim had known that it is only Meer who is involved in a one-sided love with Abru, Saim wouldn’t have been this conscious but now he is because he knows that Abru loves him too & what he saw confirmed it as well. Abru still denies as she firstly can not trust Meer & secondly she can not hurt Saim because he has been nothing but nice to her. Even though Saim is totally supportive right now but it does look like he will run out of patience & might find himself suffocated in this relationship later especially with Meer being around them all the time. Even now Meer makes sure to not leave Saim & Abru alone or allows them to have a moment to themselves. Unfortunately, Meer is just emotional, he is not too conniving to read between the lines & understand Zaibi’s hidden agendas. Zaibi makes sure to keep Meer informed about Saim & Abru, as she can totally see her dream becoming materialized because of Meer’s irrational behaviour.

Meer has started doing exactly what Zaibi wants him to do because she knows this way both the families will drift apart. It has come to this point where both Ghazanfar & Jamal are actually concerned because they feel whatever is happening is not beneficial to their families in the long run. I will say, Meer has made it his mission to outbid Saim in whatever he does & he is trying to crush him emotionally, that is why Meer didn’t even let Saim question Waleed. However, it was nice to see that Meer didn’t just let Waleed off the hook completely & he actually left after warning him. All such moments add a lot more depth & complexity to the story which makes it all super interesting to watch!

Closing Thoughts – My Favorite:

The team of Meer Abru has created magic on screen. I love how they have kept the chemistry between Meer & Abru so strong but when Abru is with Saim, there is not really a chemistry but just good vibes that two good people share. Also, even though Waleed & Haya’s relation is going to hit the rock bottom but they both look good together too. I love the relationship that all these sisters & brothers share with each other. It was so realistic that after Haya misbehaved with Abru & Sana, she was feeling bad. I wish Sana also has an important role to play in the future because for now her character doesn’t have much going for her. The styling of everyone is on-point except Jia Ali’s. I must say her botoxed hair are the funniest thing about her character, I say botoxed because I am certain that no amount of hairspray or gel or any normal product can’t stop your hair from moving, so may be she got her hair botoxed to keep them stuck like a cardboard. Everything else about this drama is on-point. I am enjoying watching all the equations & how the dynamics are changing. All these characters are complex & dynamic which makes Meer Abru another favorite of mine. In simple words; story, acting, direction, editing – everything on-fleek.

Introductory Details:

Ohkay so, the writing of Fareesa Afzal & Wasiq Ali, direction of Furqan Adam & production of Moomal & Momina Duraid Productions; Meer Abru is a recent Hum TV drama that has been airing since last 4 weeks. I tuned to it because it showed up in my YouTube recommendation plus I wanted to watch something new & I actually ended up liking the way this drama was directed & how the story was unfolding. Meer Abru is in the initial stages but still, the first 4 episodes gave me enough reasons to continue watching it & also review it. There are a lot of characters in this drama & a lot of tracks which kind of make things quite happening & interesting.

Cast & Characters:

So, there’s the Murad family, which owns Murad Group of Industries & the sons of two brothers Jamal & Ghazanfar are now taking care of the family business. Jamal is married to Seemi (Jia Ali) & has two sons Saim Murad (Mirza Zain Baig) & Waleed Murad (Saad Qureshi). Ghazanfar is married to Saira & they have a son Meer Murad. (Noor Hassan).

Ghazanfar & Saira have always had a troubled marriage because Ghazanfar could not accept Saira as his wife mentally & that has taken a toll on Meer because he grew up seeing his father being distant, aloof & angry & his mother being mistreated. Jamal is family oriented & believes in maintaining the family ties whereas Seemi constantly tries to convince her husband that he should part ways with his brother & get a new house for his family. Jamal pays no heed to his wife because he knows she is overly ambitious & not for any good reason. They all live together & all the cousins; Meer, Saim & Waleed are just like brothers.

On the other side we have a family of Professor Ahmed who has three daughters; Abru (Sanam Chauhdry), Sana (Rabya Kulsoom) & Haya (Srha Asghar). Abru is the eldest therefore she is the most responsible & focused one whereas the younger two are still pursuing their education in the same university where their father is a professor & are care-free & happy-go-lucky.

Story So Far:

Abru & Meer have a very first interaction where they both end up leaving quite an impression on each other. Abru finds Meer rude & conceited whereas Meer develops interest in Abru but doesn’t really show it. Abru goes to Murad Industries to apply for the job only to find out that Meer is going to interview her. She goes back disappointed but Meer hires her as a marketing manager. Abru gets to interact with Saim but assumes that he is just an employee there but she later finds out that Saim is the part-owner of Murad Industries too.

Abru & Meer always have a personality clash because of which Abru keeps on believing that her first impression of him was right but then even though Meer doesn’t really do much to change her opinion about him, he continues to stay reserved & distant. Meer develops feelings for Abru but doesn’t say much as he continues to see the budding friendship between Saim & Abru, which further pushes him away & does not allow him go change Abru’s perspective.

Abru goes to Meer’s place to hand him some files & that’s when Waleed & his friend misbehave with Abru. Meer makes sure Waleed apologizes but then Abru thinks he staged it all to insult her. That’s also where she finds out that Saim is not just an employee but is a cousin of Meer. Abru gets a chance to interact with Saim’s family but that’s when Saim’s mother grows uncomfortable at the thought of seeing Saim being too friendly with a mere employee. Meer & Abru once again have a misunderstanding where Meer misbehaves with her. Abru thinks of resigning but seeing how she has a responsibility of her father & sisters, she drops that idea.

Waleed, being a young spoiled brat has now taken it as a challenge to get back at Abru & that’s when he finds out that both Haya & Sana are Abru’s sisters. Quite carefully Waleed traps them both & makes them believe that he is in love with them while planting a seed of doubt in both Haya & Sana’s heart against each other. Waleed is taken to be as the heart-throb of the university so Haya already likes him but Sana also starts believing him that he must be serious about whatever he is saying.

Meer Abru drama has a lot of characters & each one of them have gotten a proper introduction & coverage which also keeps the episodes engaging by offering quite a lot. Meer has really developed some insecurities & because of his father’s disrespectful attitude towards his mother, Meer also finds it hard to respect any female & continues to insult every other girl that he interacts with but later regrets what he has done. It is like he is having a constant battle within himself because he wants to rise above all of this but can not due to his personal life issues.

Meer’s mother Saira has accepted all of this as her fate but then despite what Ghazanfar puts her through, she has found peace in the love & attention she gets from the rest of the family, especially all the boys. Saira is like a mother figure to all the boys & that is why they respect her a lot. Seemi on the other hand is quite social, so much so that she often compromises on important family event & prefers her social activities. Seemi is just as absent as Saira is present for her family, that is why even Seemi’s sons seem more emotionally attached to Saira as compared to their own mother.

Saim & Meer share that kind of bond where they both can sacrifice anything for one another, this was something that was established in the initial episodes & that might be the reason why Meer has not told Saim that he has some feelings for Abru. Saim was trying to make up his mind but he & Abru have grown so comfortable with each other that he couldn’t help falling in love with her. For Saim it was a very smooth journey because he being a thorough gentleman treated Abru with respect & also because he was her friend, he was always there to help her. Considering how stern Meer was with Abru, she kind of relied a lot more on Saim because of that reason too as she felt easy & relaxed around him. This love triangle is definitely interesting & I want to see what the life has in store for them. Plus the equation that Waleed, Haya & Sana are sharing is going to get intense too & I am keen to see how Abru will deal with all of this once she will find out & will be forced to protect & save her sisters from the heartbreak.

Closing Thoughts – Highly Recommended:

Meer Abru has offered quite a lot so far & overall it definitely is such a drama that is worth a watch. The characters have been written with a lot of detailing, I guess it shows the teamwork of the writers her. Despite the drama having a lot of characters, each & everyone gets a proper screen time & none of them seems to be a filler. Everyone has one thing or the other happening in their lives & it is all quite interesting to see. I like quite a lot characters which is one of the biggest reasons for me to continue watching this drama. I like how the vibe & feel immediately changes when both the households are shown – the vibe in Meer’s house is very formal, though loving & friendly but still very composed & on the other hand, Abru’s household is full of zest & energy because it’s filled with girls who are young & carefree. I like how Abru has a strong hold on her younger sisters & how they also obey her. Abru has earned this respect & she really is their support system. Abru’s character in general is beautifully written where she has her inhibitions & reservations but she tries to overcome them as she knows that she has two sisters who look upto her & that she has some responsibilities too. Overall styling & outlook of all the characters is really nice & I love Abru’s professional wardrobe, they have kept it very simple, effortless yet stylish enough. All the actors are looking amazing & the sisters of Abru are perfectly styled as university students. My main reason to tune to Meer Abru was Sanam Chaudhry because I enjoy her acting & she surely has not disappointed. It is good to see Noor Hassan in a drama too after quite a while. Zain Baig, Saad Qureshi, Rabya Kulsoom & Srha Asghar, all of them have done a commendable job & I believe the credit also goes to the director for keeping things so effortless & amazing – especially the acting of all the actors. Definitely looking forward to what more Meer Abru has in store for us. Please share your thoughts if you have watched this drama & if you’re someone who’s on the fence about it, I highly recommend Meer Abru.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
