The initial teasers and promos of HUM TV’s ‘Khushboo Mein Basay Khat’ grabbed eyeballs for a couple of reasons. Firstly it marks the return of actor Adnan Siddique after three years. Secondly, a project starring Nadia Jamil will surely have something substantial. Thirdly the plot wherein a surgeon and poet struggling to find peace in life. So did ‘Khushboo Mein Basay Khat’ meet expectations? Let’s Analyze.
What ‘Khushboo Mein Basay Khat’ Is About?
‘Khushboo Mein Basay Khat’ is the story of Ahmed Zaryab (Adnan Siddique) a self-obsessed, good-looking poet constantly trying to woo young girls and women. His wife Adeela (Nadia Jamil) is a surgeon who manages her career and family very well. Zaryab isn’t happy with Adeela and he constantly looks for an argument with his wife. Zaryab along with his two friends played by Saleem Mairaj and Rashid Farooqui mostly gather at a café. They are joined by Penny (Sidra Niazi) a poetess struggling to get rid from her troubled marriage. Penny is mesmerized by Zaryab’s charming personality and is ready to start a new chapter of life with him. Husna Hussain (Kinza Hashmi) is a college girl who meets Zaryab to give him an invitation to her college mushaira. Later on, she also gets highly inspired by the flirtatious Zaryab and starts meeting her secretly.
What We Liked
Saqib Khan (director) creates a unique and believable world that instantly connects with the viewers. In no time, one gets sulked into the proceedings. The dilemmas of Adeela are well depicted. Some scenes that stand out are when she asks Zaryab to attend the parent-teacher meeting and the dispute over a water bottle is superbly executed. He peppers the enterprise with ample drama and humor quotient that one doesn’t get bored at all. Three episodes down, Kinza Hashmi’s track stands out the most as she gets the maximum number of scenes. The story by Amna Mufti is simple but packs a lot. The several interesting subplots and the out-of-the-box dialogues are entertaining.
High On Performances
Adnan Siddique doesn’t give a reason to complain. He gets into his character that works big time. His body language and poetic accent are perfect. All the leading ladies put their best foot forward. Starting from seniority, Nadia Jamil is in good form. Although her scenes have been limited as of now she emotes well whenever she comes on screen. Sidra Niazi looks ravishing and acts well. Kinza Hashmi springs a big surprise. We have seen her playing the typical heroine many times. But here she sheds her inhibitions and delivers a class act. She proves that she is capable of doing much more than what’s expected of her. Saleem Mairaj and Rashid Farooqui are highly effective and contribute to raising the laughs on various occasions.
Verdict So Far
On the whole, ‘Khushboo Mein Basay Khat’ works big time due to a great script, fascinating characters and interesting subplots. With minor blemishes so far, the crisp and on-point proceedings make it a great watch.
