It will be a mistake to move it to 25 Jan as whole Pakistan will be watching the second T20 between Pakistan and Bangladesh!!!

Don't know what yardstick was applied to bracket it as, 'Pakistan's most successful drama to date," shared Seja.' To me it was a soap opera promoting adultery. Ending it with a whimper and supposedly giving a message that all is well, and everyone is living happily hereafter. No one bothered about the damage it has made on impressionable youth during the course it ran on the channel,?

It is a disgrace to call this drama the "most successful Pakistani drama of all times". Seriously, what this drama has shown besides adultery? Pakistan Drama industry is full of jewels of shows, this Drama does not even come close!

In the first place this drama has been a lot of hyp and it wasn't that good. Secondly, adultery does happen so learn to accept not adultery but that it does happen. Thirdly, I think The story writer has gotten this drama to a situation where he doesn't know where to go from here, hence the abrupt ending which will be awkward no matter which way it goes. The last few episodes have been essentially useless and superfluous.

@Vijay B. Fully agree, adultery does take place, but do you need to promote it with such pomp and pageantry during prime time. Yes you are right the last few episodes are superfluous.

Simple ending the son will die and the link between the two will be finished forever.

This drama was successful for all the wrong reasons. Normalizing adultery, extra marital affairs, vulgarity showing all damage is reversible. No moral education to be found for any age group, no exemplary characters . If this was the most successful drama of all times, then future of drama industry is very dark.

Wow just like pyare Afzal, last episode was screened in theaters. A great play with wonderful dialogues.

@Chooran Man SORRY it is not a disgrace but a lesson to people to learn to live with what you have and not dream of what is not in your reach . Thank you.

Very good move to revive struggling cinema halls. Pakistan drama are 100 times better than movies

Its amazing to see the stunned reaction to adultery as the average Pakistani viewer is numb to reality. Look around you there are more cases of adultery but you are unaware it exists. We love to live in a sub-reality of pious living and we need our television shows to be hypocritical to cover our sins? this show was not promoting adultery as some claim its making noise as this is a deep dark secret exits look carefully around you where we all are guilty ?

What was good in that drama? Especially the last few episodes were an effort to gather sympathy for an adulterous. It’s absolutely wrong to say men are forgiven on adultery. Yes, they are, as usually women in are our society are helpless. In west, where women are mostly independent they kick out adulterous man out of their lives . This drama has contributed a lot in spreading the wrong message. Producer has earned a good amount of money but his greed has damaged the innocent minds as it was on air during the prime time , when the majority of the viewers are teenagers and young adults.

@Saima Rizvi . Agreed.

Glorification\promotion of extra marital relations\betrayal as accepted norm of society.Portrayal of female as greedy n lusty. Popularity nowhere near Zindagi Gulzar Hi. SOS for our think tanks .

@Khaled could not agree mode

This drama was verry successful for all the right reasons. It never normalized adulteryin any sort of way and if you got that impression then maybe you or someone you knew dipped their feet into the adultery pool or treated themselves o, extra marital affairs, absolute no signs of vulgarity never showing certain damage is reversible. People who say this saw otherwise were pre-occupied by some other trauma in their sad lufe Why are we expecting television to provide us with moral education? Is this not the duty of parents and religious leaders to live with pious intentions? for all age group, no exemplary characters . If this was the most successful drama of all times, and so many people are angry and upset this drama has caused us to examine our hypocritical way of life?

The hysteria is being created around this drama , promoting doubt and tainting image of women is imprudent, obfuscating our values . I do not think its popularity is as high as it deserves to be taken in cinemas. What ridicule this drama is

@Glen D .If a young married woman is living under one roof with another man at his house, the impression implied, if not adultery, what else? Obviously the producer could not have been more explicit . Adultery is prevalent since beginning of times, but nowhere including the most liberal societies it is promoted and glamorized the way it is being depicted in this soap opera in the name of entertainment. No one is asking the TV channels to run moral education programs, the point is that in a country where almost 95% of the population is conservative and orthodox, they would go to any extent when adultery is involved ,even to the extent of honour killing. So to which particular segment of society is this so called entertainment catering to. Even in the most advanced societies such dramas are telecast late, while out here , these are telecast during prime time with children of impressionable age fully glued to the TV , so what sort of a lesson is being imparted to these kids?

So now we have stooped so low that we want to celebrate propagating immorality being a norm.... toxicity of wanting to make big money through any means.

boring

Most successful!? This was the drama with the most wrong and full of misogynist messages. Putting women as a commodity to be owned or bought and discarded if not liked. Things like "do takkay ke aurat" kind of reverberate and stay around... and now just for the sake of money this is being promoted to such levels, to be shown on cinema screens. How shameful and low the media and money makers can stoop?

Everyone seems to be banging on about its portrayal of women and it's alleged promotion of adultery. They seem to be missing the bits where the male adulterer (hania's father) loses everything after cheating on his wife and was regretful to the very end. That was a very powerful segment for me.
