The recent Pakistani drama “Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum” has captivated audiences with its intriguing storyline and standout performances. Starring Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir, the show has showcased exceptional acting, but falls short in certain aspects.
Hania Aamir shines in her role, delivering a nuanced and convincing performance. Her portrayal of a young woman navigating panic attacks, family pressures, and sacrifices is commendable. However, her styling often seems incongruous with her character’s personality and situation.
On the other hand, Fahad Mustafa’s character, Mustafa, comes across as immature and disconnected from reality. His portrayal of a carefree, video game-obsessed young man feels unconvincing, given his real-life age. This age disparity makes it challenging for audiences to relate to his character.
The supporting cast delivers mixed performances. Javed Sheikh, as usual, impresses with his convincing acting, while Bushra Ansari’s character feels forced into an unnecessary SAAS-Bahu conflict. This trope has become a tired cliché in Pakistani dramas, and her character’s animosity towards Hania Aamir’s character feels unjustified. The true villain, Adeel (played by Emmad Irfani), is the one who deserves blame.
A notable exception is Maya Khan, who delivers a compelling and believable performance. Her return to the screen is a treat to watch, and her character adds depth to the story.
Despite its flaws, “Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum” has me hooked. I eagerly await the unfolding of the characters and storyline, hoping for more convincing character development and a departure from tired drama tropes.
