Is Chupke Chupke This Year's Best Ramazan Drama? | Dunk | Raqeeb Se | Qayamat | Tanaa Banaa

[@sadiakhan2168]

I must say that "Ishq Jalebi", down the line, will become the part of COVID-19 pandemic times memories for us, and once this pandemic will be over (inshallah), whenever we watch this serial it will make us nostalgic of this time . Kudoos to Saima Akram, who did a marvellous job in incorporating the current situation in the script flawlessly.

Completely agree. Even her tuti fruity outfit was perfect for the character. Meenus immaturity comes out here as well as when she overdresses to go shopping in the blue outfit/ the cinderella dress for the resteraunt. When she's at home she's just being herself but on these three occasions she's trying to project an image and goes ott - it's endearing. Even her nikkah dress (giving Glinda the good witch of the North vibes) was adorable. I appreciate the effort ayeza put into this character much like she's done in her other projects too.

Wese I connected slowly with Ishq jalebi but now I'm picking up n really enjoying the story. I absolutely agree with Aamna's views on zoya's character n dressing sense. It's really not up to the mark. I mean look at meenu.. How well has ayeza portrayed meenu! Impressive!

[@aliyabawany2444]

Not up to the mark? Pfft. It is so classist and superficial to compare clothing so everything is according to your taste and standard. Something Haute sounds absolutely elitist sometimes approaching model cum actors for interviews because they dress tastefully. Wardrobe selection is of prime importance to them in a character sketch whereas it matters the least. I had a feeling when Amna called Zoya annoying from the first episode before the character even got the chance to boss her husband, that there was an issue with the actor's overall appeal and her unwilling attitude to grooming herself for marriage and homemaking. With Amna ka fashion se gehra taaluq, I accept Alizeh has made some fashion blunders with her formal and bridal selections in the past especially in one Fashion Pakistan Week where she wore this peacock black and gold dress and the fact that she was the cover girl for Kashi's Bridals in the past. But she is growing as an actor. She started out very young. Anything less than the adornments of Amna's favorite fashion icons on the screen and the character becomes a sore thumb. If you are your usual selves around what you perceive as poorly dressed people in real life, how do you behave? Zoya is an ordinary middle-class girl. Life is more meaningful than the fabric on your body but you use it to judge people. Somehow, with how miser Meenu's father is, how she accesses his piggy bank to get some money and has no stream of personal income she shouldn't exhibit such amazing variety in her outfits. But because she wanted a designer outfit for her Nikkah, we can assume that Meenu's funky taste is hers and hers alone, and she put together her wardrobe. It does not add up in her character but at least she looks like a package. It is exactly because Kiran Haq from Fitoor knows "pehne orhne ka dhung" that despite being utterly unlikable, spoilt, and entitled from day one, she doesn't get half as much of the criticism that her character deserves.

[@SadiaAbbas0511]

@@aliyabawany2444 a couple of times I did come to think that perhaps Zoya is from middle class perhaps she can't afford designer lawn and outfits. But I'm not sure as I'm not watching the show regularly. Apart from the clothes I think Alizay is doing fine. Even her performance isn't bad at all

[@aliyabawany2444]

Who says designer lawn and outfits make you look photogenic? Who even made that a thing? Now "suitable" costume is no longer a requirement for a character, everyone just has to use their budget to look superb all the time. I like physically appealing qualities on screen but I know better than to put one actress down next to the other because the former wasn't raised/groomed/managed to be a show stopper. I won't argue that Zoya's engagement outfit was very cool and trendy and her baraat outfit was very attractive when I first saw it on Alizeh's Instagram because that is nothing to her credit. Recently critics have excessively shifted their focus towards showing an effort to arrange a good wardrobe. First, the reviewers could not put their finger on what was wrong with Zoya in the first episode, calling her annoying and deliberately ignoring her strong points, just because the girl sported a shoulder-length haircut challenging norms of feminity and made clear her "unnecessary" demands delaying marriage. Then in the middle, she was an ungrateful wife who did not in the goodness of her heart cave into pressure and kind behavior, as if the couple had been married for forty years. Now, we have finally figured out the fact that her poor dressing is very distracting and the worst thing for a fashion critic. Maybe this will force Zoya to step down her high horse and practice compassion. I think the label of best dressed is more last season than a rich bride wearing a cheap-looking kangan that flashes mirrors, or a small paper chit carrying a palace inhabitant's number, which is "an absolute deal-breaker and takes away from the enjoyment of viewership". I couldn't believe how fast Ramsha's character in Shehnai was elevated in their eyes because upon looking closer, the girl finally looked rich enough for her part, with her winged eyeliner, something she could not manage to with her attire an episode before.

[@user-fk8md4jn3i]

How can u like ayeza as meenu?? She is so cringy

[@aliyabawany2444]

@@user-fk8md4jn3i The point we're trying to make is, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, especially on people's attributes that you can live and let others live around. If some of us like Meenu, let us enjoy. If others like Zoya, let them enjoy. If someone likes wearing a midnight blue ball gown on a camping trip, let them.

For raqeeb se, to answer amna's question, sakina was rafeeq ali's mang(fiance) since childhood. Atiqa bhabhi mentioned it in a scene k "mang rafeeq ali ki thi ar chithiaan maqsood ko likhti thi". in that rural background, mang (fiance) hna is matter of respect and ghairat.

I am watching all 3 shows and find Ishq Jalebi indisputably the Best and I must say it hurts to see it not getting its deserved attention. Tana Bana is actually getting annoying, there is just no substantial plot. Only Daniyal made it bearable which isnt anymore sufficient to hook me to it, so I just might stop watching it. Chupke Chupke is good, but appears caricatured and loud at times. Ishq Jalebi has all my heart. Its realistic, relatable and gets emotional, sweet and funny all in one episode. The performances are natural and effortless. Wahaj and Madiha have a phenomenal chemistry. They are actually the cutest pair I have seen in recent times. The love that they have is what I would call true love and not the toxicity being glorified in khuda aur mohabbat. A love which has companionship, concern, when you know the person inside out with all the flaws but still long for each other. Ishq Jalebi is criminally underrated.

Last but by no means the least, Wahaj Ali and Madiha Imam are FANTASTIC as the leads.....Madiha Imam nails her role like always....her roles in Mera Rab Waris and Ek Jhooti Love Story were so different.....she is so underrated.......her treatment of Bela is heartfelt despite having typical vibes.......to exhibit innoncence in a grown adult is not easy (either it is an overdose or it is lamely done) yet Madiha excels once again.....her chemistry with Hina Bayat and Qavi Khan is beautiful but it is her pairing with Wahaj Ali that stands out the most......as for the male lead, this is the first drama of Wahaj in which he hasn't disappeared after the 11th or 12th episode and I can't help but admire him for his top-notch portrayal of Basim....the layers of his character are brought out by Wahaj in the most convincing manner be that his jealousy at seeing Vicky with Bela or the way he is so frustrated at being treated unfairly or how he bluntly brings forth his stance before his father and grandfather or his soft, protective side for his mother and Bela.....all these aspects make Basim human....that is how real humans are.....with multiple shades and dimensions.....and Wahaj scores like a champion each single time........the actor playing Rocket is wonderful as well!

The main female lead is annoying. That's why its bothering alot. But the mother in law is fantastic... the only person who says logical things.

[@MiraasbyMariyamDawood]

The problem is whenever they have to show a female character Taking a stand for education or career they turn that character into an annoying unreasonable person without any emotions. Jiya in Suno Chanda also had fairly right arguments in season 2 yet they turned her into a battamiz ladki, zaroon's mother in ZGH was tied into the same trope. I see Zoya being made into the bad guy whereas all her demands are so right. They could have said it better.

Unpopular opinion: I felt extremely sorry for insha and rafeeq ali in this episode. Not to absolve the domestic violence but when he cries and sings on the charpai I was in tears. Also I don't know what is it but I get those chills whn ameera comes on screen. Like God jise kehte haina kisi insaan ki jare katna she's doing that though she has a backstory aswell but rightly said by beegul k she's the reflection of rafeeq ali. Felt sorry for sakina.

[@mahnoorqureshi3281]

Couldn’t watch Wednesday’s haute bites on time. Now that I have , I am feeling so disappointed by Amna’s character analysis of Farhad. I didn’t expect Amna to: ___ fail to draw a line between a protagonist and a hero, in his case. ___ absolve Feedi of everything calling him a ‘silly boy’. ___ restrict harassment to sexual, only. ___ glorify a toxic character by calling him a hero. No one said that Farhad was a habitual harasser or stalker, but following Mahi to live at her residential premises, mentally disturbing the girl through repeated emotional blackmail, staring at her, cursing her for not reciprocating his love, to the extent of making her visibly worried and depressed, is clear harassment and borderline criminal. All this for exchanging pleasantries, extending a hand of friendship, ( not holding his hand). Amna having a soft corner for him, amounts to the general victim blaming mentality. Amna’s Gupshup with ZQ was a Gem, though. 😊

[@sidrakafeel9160]

Farhaad is such an immature and self obsessed character ...he claimed to be rhoo ka ashiq and now cursing Mahi for just being practical.. And hasan was right feroze heroic personality overshadowed farhaad and people has sympathies with him also writer and director tries to prove him innocent because every other characters in the story develops feeling for him...KAM3 is just a copy of 90s typical Bollywood movies to attack international viewers

[@mahnoorqureshi3281]

@@sidrakafeel9160 Yes, but wasn't expecting Amna to go to this extent to defend him. Total baseless, points raised by Amna. Feroze khan has mostly done similar roles and his personality, specially arrogance reflects in all of his characters. Feedi too despite being a useless loser, has this delusion that even a princess cannot say no to him. One can see this "akar' in him the way he treated Naheed even. I seriously want to slap him contrary to Amna who has a soft corner for him.😄 Instead of feeling sympathy, I find Feedi irritating and obnoxious. He is like a nagging, whining, brat throwing tantrums to get his toy. 🙄

[@MiraasbyMariyamDawood]

The worst is Amna justifying it by saying I am old school. Being old school is about liking olden things and not about supporting old staunch values and norms. If that is the case then in Dil Na Ummid the cricketer girl's father can also say thag I am old school so I will not let my girls play. Being old school is no justification for being narrow minded

Rafeeq Ali was in love with Sakeena, as we have told she was very beautiful and attractive. And the discussion between Sakina and Rafeeq Ali in one of the early episodes about how he trued his best to make her fall in love with him but she was never into him shows that he was genuinely in love with her, but with time Sakina's attitude annoyed and angered him causing him to be abusive towards her

[@theonewithbrains192]

Rafiq Ali married a woman out of her will Consummated that marriage ,beaten her to death many times ,doubted her character and then whines that why don't she just love him Moreover he is also sharabi and zaani and also a bad father Still u people think that he is a nice guy and sakina ruined his life plz stop finding excuses for toxic men Ap kisi se zabardasti shadi karo romance karo aur jawab mai mohabat chaiye Why don't u people consider women humans

@@theonewithbrains192 nae that was not my point, he is a flawed person, an abuser, an alcoholic and a cheater which is definitely unforgivable and I indeed condemn such behaviour. My above comment is not to prove him innocent but an answer for why he married her, and the simple answer is because he loved her and wished to get such love back despite knowing her past and her situation. What he did in the marriage reflects on his flawed character and tells why the marriage failed.

Chupke chupke is like a fresh breeze.. Initially I had the same view (read: the common mentality) that Ayeza is such a misfit for this role. She is not young to behave like such a bubbly university girl, she is overacting, but Oh my God, look at her expressions, the flawless and natural acting which shows how much she has worked for it.. I can't even think she's the same who was in thora sa haq, meherposh, mpth.. And this is her success! She truly has proven me wrong, and I am fan of her now! 💗 not only her, all characters of Chupke chupke are *ek se barh kar ek* ! Miskeen bhai is totally out of the character of salman, and he is really amazing. And Arslan urf Hadi, ufff, he is my crush now ❤❤ bebey, amma, kifayat, mirchi and kaddu.. All are just perfect in their roles. I have no doubt to say this is the best drama currently airing, and comparing it to any other drama will be a disgrace to it..

Because she went to sleep all adorned on her shadi joda so I am assuming nothing happened between them, then why was he so happy when going to sleep and what was even the point of getting married to him when she promptly returned to the haveli the day after and just nothing else came from that entire episode!!
