Ishq Murshid

I just binge-watched the drama on YouTube. I would say the story was good, and the actors played their parts really well, especially the lead pair. Both acted amazingly, and I must say Bilal is the most handsome actor I have found after Fawad Khan. Bilal needs more recognition and should work with secure writers and directors. Bilal is definitely an asset for Pakistan drama industry.

The OST was a smashing hit, no doubt about it.

The big letdown for me was the writing, editing, and direction. In all 31 episodes, the continuity was missing, and it felt like a bouquet of random scenes.

I am only giving it 4 stars because of the lead pair and the OST. A big letdown for me.

This show is definitely not what the ratings say it is. For me it would be a 5 or 6/10 at best. The stroytelling angle is unique for a Pakistani series, Ill give them that. But it revolves around the prehistoric script of a rich guy falling in love with a middle class girl and all the struggles they go through to be with each other. Its funny that the drama series Jaan-e-jahan, another one with the exact same premise, is airing simultaneously with this one. The acting from the two protagonists is nothing short of appalling and cringe. The dialogues are cheesy, and there are.painfully long segments where the two main characters are just staring at each other with the opening theme is playing in the background, which is perhaps the only exceptional thing about this show. Take my advice and dont waste your time on this, although im pretty sure just like me you have already been deceived by the hype!

Best ever romantic serial with best couples ever. I love the way the duo act in this drama, I wish it could be in real life, because I love the couple Durefishan and Bilal together, as they look so cute together oh my god, May Allah fulfill their dreams whatever they desire and May Allah bless the couple Aameen and May they tie the knot soon In'shaa'Allah. Bilal had worked with many Actresses but no one look so cute with him as he has an innocent face and he is a shy person too, Durefishan and his bond made us realise that they had an amazing chemistry as they share in this drama Ishq Murshid.

Despite its unique narrative approach, Ishq Murshid falters in its execution, earning a rating of 5.5 out of 10. While the drama attempts to explore fresh storytelling avenues, it ultimately succumbs to the tired trope of a wealthy man enamored by a woman from a lower socio-economic background. The performances of the lead actors leave much to be desired, with cringe-worthy moments and lacklustre dialogue further detracting from the viewing experience. Additionally, the excessive use of prolonged, silent stares between characters accompanied by the opening theme adds little value to the narrative. While Ishq Murshid may have garnered attention, it ultimately fails to deliver on its promises, leaving audiences feeling deceived by the hype.

The drama is engaging for the first 19 episodes but loses momentum thereafter. Still, it's an entertaining watch overall.

The chemistry between the two leads is fantastic, and the suspenseful romance keeps you hooked.

The director's skillful direction brings the story to life, with visually stunning scenes and well-executed emotional moments.

The beautiful cinematography and captivating soundtrack further enhance the overall viewing experience.

While the latter part of the series may lose some momentum, the initial strong foundation and endearing characters make it a worthwhile watch. The witty banter, humorous situations, and heartwarming moments provide a delightful escape.

It's a perfect blend of entertainment and emotion, making it a great option for a binge-watching session.
