Shehr-e-Zaat

I have read and loved the novels written by the great Pakistani writer Umera Ahmed. When Shehr-e-Zaat was announced, I was deeply skeptical about the faithfulness of TV screen artists to the beautiful characters I had in my mind of the meaningful story of this novel. Anyhow, I couldn't manage to watch it for a long time but do heard praise and appreciation of the whole drama team. The other day I was you-tubing when I saw it's first episode in the list. To see how those characters were introduced, I clicked on the episode and now just in one night, I am done with 10 episodes of this beautifully created drama. One thing that really is appreciable here is that Umera has taken the same story of this short novel to a whole new level with the same central theme. After the writer, Sarmad Khosat as a director has totally done the job very well. Mahira and Sameena Peerzada have done remarkable performances. The dialogues of the dramas are thoughtful and often I had to pause the video and go into the thinking mode. If you are thinking to watch this drama and came on it's IMDb page for checking the ratings and reviews, You need to stop worrying. No, you won't waste your time. It's a different yet even beautiful adoption of the novel. Watch it !! It's a Gem for sure!!!
