Abdullahpur Ka Devdas

If you're expecting a gripping love story or emotional depth from Abdullahpur Ka Devdas, prepare to be disappointed. This drama is a masterclass in how to take a classic inspiration and completely drain it of life, logic, and relatability.

The pacing is painfully slow, the characters are underdeveloped, and the dialogue often feels like it's trying too hard to sound poetic-without actually saying anything meaningful. Bilal Abbas Khan's talent feels wasted on a script that meanders between melodrama and self-indulgent monologues. Sarah Khan and Raza Talish, despite their efforts, are lost in a sea of forced symbolism and dull storytelling.

What's worse is the show's obsession with appearing "deep" instead of telling a story that resonates. It confuses ambiguity with brilliance and ends up being neither.

Visually, it's nice-but no amount of aesthetic shots can save a drama that forgets the basics: character growth, emotional connection, and a compelling narrative.

Abdullahpur Ka Devdas might have aimed for art, but it lands as an exhausting, pretentious ride with little reward.

Great to see this kind of series. Very interesting to see all cast performing in the series. Sarah Khan and Bilal Abbas Khan were spot on. Specially the acting of other casts were absolutely brilliant. One thing that i missed is the production quality. It should have been better. Anyhow nice.

The whole story starts in a very promising way until it loses its way. The character of Kashif is very poorly played. He looks like a comic character until for some reason the director makes him the most important character around which the story is revolving. They made the real Devdas as a gun wielding gangster and gave him 50cr + bungalow and car out of nowhere. Things starts to happen randomly and the makers wants us to accept things without any logical reasoning. I was just waiting it to finish as the only thing I was wanting to see was the ending which was the only good thing after episode 7. If there is a season 2, the makers should at least work on a good storyline.

The story didnt make any sense to me. Theres just this one girl and literally everyone wants her. Filled with confusions and unrealistic coincidences. I wanted to watch it because of that OST but tbh kinda hated it. The last 10 minutes of the drama was the only time i enjoyed a bit. The actors were good, acting was good but the story and the execution was just POOR. Some of the videography was really good specially in the forst couple of episodes but overall i would recommend anyone watching this for the plot. I didnt get the point that they met each other like 2 times. But har dafa she couldn't see his face and because of this confusion u have to watch 10 useless episodes. And the bahana they got for this is that RAAT thi and i couldnt see his face like wtf?? Raat ko nazar nahi aata kia?

It seemed to be a good promising story to begin with with the market chase to establish relationship between the two male leads. Burad promising to purchase chaiwali property. Entry of the girl their cravings to meet, sending letters. It all felt good till that while haveli guy was killed. After that it was all downhill. There were so many plot holes and pointless things in writings and direction. Even though it only has 13 episodes still it felt dragged and pointless in the middle. Ending part felt good from the point onwards when Gulbano receives message from SIM card about Kashifs location.
