Sunn Mere Dil

Writing this review after utter frustration of watching the first 10 episodes. Never expected this cringe fest from Khalil. Extremely slow screenplay, cringe dialogues, very slow dialogue delivery, loud background music which is making hard to hear the dialogues, pathetic acting and expressions from Maya who is with over makeup. Imagine the female lead takes 5 seconds to say hello after picking call, this is the pace of the show. After watching the extremely well written KHKT and Fahad who gave a masterclass in natural acting , this drama disappointed me no end.. especially my fav Wahaj also shows he is only a directors actor and cannot fine tune the expressions on his own. His star power and fangirls are the ones who are giving these positive comments under the episodes on YT. Else it's a cringe fest and with those dialogues it cannot be watched with Family.

If you're expecting to be glued to your screen watching this big show with the big cast, well then I have some bad news for you. The screenplay is extremely slow and unnecessarily stretched out. Very dragging scenes with constant music & repetition that doesn't evoke any emotion in the audience. The main characters lack depth & some have no significance to the story. Very disappointed. The actors are speaking very slow in very outdated & cringe dialogues. This show, script and screenplay is very outdated, used up & uninteresting. Unfortunately, even a star cast like this one can't save a badly written script and screenplay.

Drama mainly revolves around the emotional, kind of poetic character Bilal who falls in love with sadaf. Wahaj as BA is excellent. Actors are doing great but script is average. Bilal has been associated with bad habits of alcohol and having relations with women due to his painful past but he changes as he falls in love with sadaf. It's all fantasy, poetic kind of love. Screen play looks good. If the drama wasn't that slow paced, It would have been more better. Also drama doesn't have extra scenes of sole elderly characters preaching and all, saas bah relations etc. But it wold not be everyones cup of tea as its slow paced and its not realistic but poetic and is a fantasy.

Most of the characters of this play are projected as thankless. Starting with Mother, daughter, brother, friends and Sadaf's husband-Omar. If Bilal had done so much for Sadaf family , nobody even thanked him properly and ignored him on every count. Probably some sort of consideration should have been given to characters who deserve thanks. From acting perspective, all the main actors have really given their best performance to this play.

There are so many twists and turns in the play which keep viewers glued to the screen. But we still feel script writers should not show middle class families as thankless.

Such an old fashioned, slow paced drama, pathetic screenplay, every character speaks so very slow, as if everyone of them is sick. Even the dialogues are pretty okay, doesn't show any 'Khalil ur Rehman prowess'. Khalil sahab has this propensity of showing tragic, more often sudden, deaths in his stories, which is indeed an irksome repetition.

The drama has the vibes of 90's bollywood movies where almost after every dialogue a sound of flute kicks in to intensify the scene unnecessarily. Acting is nice, wardrobe is good, cast looks good but this is what happens when the director and writer aren't up to the mark. Good actors can't run and win this race on their own. Not recommended at all.
