Abdullahpur Ka Devdas

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?

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.

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.

How can someone waste so many good actors? The best answer to this question is this series. Great cast (except a few), good plot, exceptional OST but the execution, writing, direction and editing is so pathetic that watching this series is a torture to brain even after presence of a wonderful actor like Bilal Abaas.

There are so many flaws in the story. Thing just happened without any logic. You can say that this is a fiction drama but still there need to be some basic common sense in the drama. Randomly some characters are introduced and dropped about without any effort to build any continuity of story or character.

In short - Don't waste your time.

Gulbano might be the prettiest maiden of the land, making all the men die in her name, but at the end of the day, it is the love between Kashif and Fakhar that steals your heart.

The mystery surrounding the infamous Gul Bano amongst the people of Abdullahpur is so adequately written. The way Fakhar pleads for Gul Bano' s love over Gul Bano herself is a testament to his unrequited love. The supporting characters and how their story evolves on the way, not a single moment in these 12 episodes are dull or wasted away in any sense.

Perfect casting with Sarah Khan, Bilal Abbas, and Raza Talish. Anoushay Abbasi as Jameela was an instant hit. Especially Naumaan Ijaz as Shehenshah will leave you yearning more for his story.

The story gives you a nostalgic air with the setting it has captured around Abdullahpur and Lahore but, as the story progresses we realize that it is the perfect combination of an old classic and a modern-era romance.

Overall, a must-watch drama, with the spellbinding OST to ease your aching heart and the writing is so heartbreakingly beautiful.
