Kafeel Rant, Analysis, And More

I have a lot to say about this drama based on the three episodes I watched and several short clips. I have not watched the whole thing yet so I’ll keep this one short and specific to what I’ve seen so far. Some of the things I write here, I might have written in other posts as well, so bear with me. I’m just one me, I can feel the same thing twice, have the same opinion twice.

Why Did I Not Watch Kafeel From Start?

Main cast is fine, but some side characters like Warda’s mother and Jamal’s mother-in-law Habiba etc were hamming throughout their screentime, a lot. A LOT. Warda’s mother moved her hands too much and and Habiba… What was wrong with her? Why was her voice quivering? Bimar toh nahin thhi woh? Bahot zor is overacting lagi unki.

The last scene (Subuk’s proposal for Daneen) was no surprise at all. It was kinda overdoing it. I had a problem with showing such young girls being so disturbingly in love. In one episode, Daneen had teddy bear with her in the bed while her mother talks about “kuch log tumhare rishte ke liye aane waley hain”. I don’t know why I found it cringe. I mean, I have read stories and watched dramas with young, very young people in love and even marriage. Khwaab Saraye, the novel (I just realized I have NOT posted that review yet, it was drafted 6 years ago) being a prime example, and recently there was that Mayi Ri, didn’t watch but it was like kids getting married and having kids of their own) but somehow this left a bad taste in my mouth.

Areeka Haq had way too much makeup for her age.

Zeba’s daughters were appropriately made up. Javeria in her bridal avatar was “Ma Sha Allah” level beautiful.

Sanam’s wardrobe made me envious a little bit. Her salwar suits were so sober and she carried it so well. For some reason, Sanam Saeed looks prettier now. Just wow yaar!!!
