Ishq Jalebi

A serial with a powerful message - importance of family - jalebicoated with delicate humour. First things first, all the characters including Gullu's which was a shorter one, made their presence felt. Apart from brilliant portrayal of love affair of Bela and Basim, the friendship chemistry between Basim and Rocket set the stage on fire. Add to it the tarrka of dialogues especially of Sajjo, Iffi, and Ashiq Hussain ADVOCATE, what a delight! Bau Ji's role could never have been this good if it was played by any other actor than the most charming Qavi Khan sahb. Finally, kudos to the writer Saima Akram Chaudhry, who did a fantabulous job. From the romantic dialogues of B&B to the powerful emotional, and comic dialogues of Bau ji, everything she wrote was epic. Touch of corona was a cherry on top. Finale was also so well crafted. The only thing this drama lacked in was it's social media marketing and promotion which made it look criminally underrated. All in all, this serial is a treat to watch; a stress-buster in these tough times.
