Mehreen Got a Proof of Being Innocent but at the Cost of Losing her Sanity in Hum Kahan Ke Sache Thy!

Mahira Khan - Now Deserves a Relief

The latest episode of the famous drama serial of the current times named "Hum Kahan Ke Sache Thy" was wonderful as the truth was revealed to Aswad finally. It has crushed him and let him fall in such a great guilt that he is suffering the aftermath. Now, he is recalling all discussions and situations with a new psyche, and understand can now reenact the actual truth by himself. But it too late, he had tortured and dealt so brutally with Mehreen, the role was played by famous and legendry actress Mahira Khan. She being Mehreen has a nervous breakdown and is also facing the Schizophrenia, all due to mental torture that Aswad (Usman Mujhtar) gave him in the drama. 

Mehreen was a very disturbed child who had seen her father's failure from grace, and then his suicide and dead body in her childhood. She had faced the crises of her mother being remarried, and she was forced to live at her maternal uncle, aunt, their daughter Mashal, and the equally annoying and hate mongering grandmother. She was raised in a very negative and hateful environment, and a place where her only freedom was to sketch, paint, write her diaries and to participate in extra-curricular activities at her school, college and then university. For which the Kubra Khan, a known actress who played the role of Mashal was always jealous. There was a clear fault of her parents to keep on comparing her with the talents of Mehreen. 

Mehreen faced the consequences of being always a bully of circumstances. The taunts of the deeds of her father that she as a child knew nothing about. Mashal in her hate and revenged of being engaged with Aswad, tried to kill Mehreen as the final truth was revealed by the maid of the house named Shabbo. What a tragedy, Mehreen faced her whole life as a neglected child, a miserable life of intolerance, degradation, embarrassment, neglected, and hated by everyone except her aunt Saleha, who is a mother of Aswad. But her turmoil didn't end after marriage with Aswad, as he proved to be the biggest monster of her life. One, who has taken her to the corridors of insanity, madness, schizophrenia and gave her such torture for the crimes that she had never committed. 

Alas! No use as she has already lost her nerves and trust of life and people. It is really going to be all that great in a way. What's the use of being in guilt when he as a sane and mature man had so much of chances to talk to investigate the truth long before the breakdown of Mehreen. But, somehow it is a reality of life that we always try to put pressure on those whom we feel weak in front of us. The readers of the novel are quite disappointed by the audio-visual presentation of an otherwise very intellectual and beautiful story that was written years back by Umera Ahmad. But somehow the drama is moving towards end, and the tale is unwinding and folding in a better way now. Let's see as if the director follows the end of the actual story or make a change as a part of cinematic license...!! 

Even Mahira Khan with a Powerful Performance Couldn't Save Hum Kahan ke Sahce Thy from a Flop..!!

Hum Kahan Ke Sahe Thy - An Honest Review

Mahira Khan has impressed me for the very first time with her acting in the currently running drama serial on Hum Television network named "Hum Kahan ke Sache Thy". This means, we were not truthful as the world. It is a metaphorical use of a quotation that leads us to know our very own flaws and in-depth lies that make us successful in the outer world. But it is like a termite that swallows our souls from inside. The paly is produced on the famous short novel by great fiction writer of current times in Urdu Literature named "Umera Ahmad". She is renowned for her literary contibutions like  Meri Zaat Zara e Be Nishan, Man o Slawa, Peer e Kaamil, Aab e Hayat, Shehr e Zaat, Alif, Hum Kahan k Sahe Thy, Daam, SInf e Ahan and lots more to her credit. 

Interestingly, all these writeups are adapted and famous drama serials have already been made. But the " Hum Kahan ke Sache Thy" is a bit different as is an insight into human behaviors and psychology, and a lesson to let people know as to how their behaviors and tongue can affect the entire life and personality of a kid in his or her growing years. The drama serial is currently on air every Sunday, at a prime time of 8 pm in Hum TV Entertainment, and the roles of "Mehreen" are very well-played by Mahira Khan, an international name of fame from Pakistan. The role of "Mashal", a very twisted one is also greatly done by Kubra Khan, a comparatively new sensation who has mesmerized the television and film audience with her beauty and performance. Another major character of the story is "Aswad", and it is plainly done by "Usman Mukhtar". 

Overall the credit to actors in lead and character roles must be given as everyone is doing justice to what is expected. But there are strong directorial flaws in the drama. Firstly, the story as in the novel is short and the drama is lingered on unnecessarily. There is too much emphasis on melodrama and the background score. By the way, it is a great soundtrack but there is no need to keep on playing it so loud in the whole drama. Then the flashbacks and the mismatched presentation of various characters have destroyed the impact that the novel readers carried in their minds. 

How adults behave and talk with putting self-censorship to their thoughts and tongues. Actually, it is spoiling and destroys the growth of young kids. Filling them with unnecessary venom against their own family members. How comparisons, jealousy, and hatred make people full of flaws as adults and responsible citizens. Despite the great acting by Mahira Khan, the drama has lost its initial boost as the audience is too disappointed by the much lingered on presentation, and there are many episodes where simply nothing new happens at all. 

The dialogues are not that powerful like Khali ur Rehman Qamar plays, even if he has a simple story to tell to the readers and audiences. The character of Mashal was not properly visualized, as to how and why she was so much in hatred towards Mehreen by the continuous comparisons. How Mehreen is deprived of every good thing is not presented properly, just because her father died and mother had a second marriage. She was dependent on her grandmother, uncle, and aunt for being brought up. It is interesting to point out, as her aunt Selaha always felt so much sympathy for Mehreen. Why she hadn't taken the girl to her home when her only son even lived in the United States. 

It could be a blockbuster and an intellectual asset of Hum TV, if the storyline was properly perceived and executed by the director "Farooq Rind" and his producer. Parizaad is also an adaptation of a novel but see how it is ruling the hearts, minds of not just the public but of critics from Pakistan and abroad. Proper execution can make a masterpiece like Money Heist, and a spoiler like Hum Kahan ke Sache Thy. That's sad as how a writer can compromise her beautiful words presentation in literature for the sake of just money...!!
