THAT'S ME!
Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on my site 😎

SHAH RUKH KHAN IN JAWAN (RELEASING SEPTEMBER 2023)
Tere Bin in 45 mins (Part 2)
6. Mere saath hi lagalo dil (The voice and eyes - biggest draw for me in any actor)
7. His solo realisation scene is where I was dead sure this guy is one hell of an actor and I was crushing hard, leading me to check out most of his dramagraphy.
8. Jab sukun se bore ho jau, bata de na, aa jaonga
9. A predictable but pivotal point comes in their relationship where they get into a car accident (his doing), but he puts himself in danger to save her. His confession to her after a series of misunderstandings was far more powerful than a ‘I love you’
10. The quintessential move the hair from the cheek scene 😄
Where the show hits rock bottom and stops making sense:
This is where the writer should have started showing Meerab softening towards him, maybe some more angst where she fights her mind with her heart, but after this, the show went downhill in an illogical sequence after sequence - which I can no longer waste my time on! If you catch just their scenes post E20 you will be left wondering what is going on 😂
Anyways - one bonus scene post E20 where we get Murtasim saying a cheesy line. I have no idea why I love this scene so much 😂 Maybe cause it reminded me of ZGH tea scene. No comparison though, ZGH one was epic. In that scene Fawad does magic with his eyes and in this one Wahaj with his deep, husky voice.
Where I stand with the show:
Murtasim had the makings of a Darcy, purely cause of how Wahaj has portrayed this role - he has just the right amount of swag and panache. Wahaj is extremely versatile without a doubt, but his biggest plus point is how well he emotes the feeling of being in love. Obviously, the writer did not have the Darcy vision, so the writing of Murtasim was a bit toxic in the initial episodes and some red flags emerged on and off in later episodes which were inconsistent given his character’s growth.
Yumna and Wahaj have undeniably great chemistry, but as the scenes progress you realise Meerab being cold to Murtasim’s growing feelings becomes kill joy after a point. The writer and director have missed the opportunity to tap the potential of these two actors, especially Wahaj who could romance a stone and still melt our hearts! Yumna (from her other drama I am watching with Wahaj) is very comfortable and good in soft & emotional scenes (as evident in the post accident scene). I would have loved to see Meerab softening towards Murtasim’s genuine efforts, her heart and mind battling towards her growing feelings for him, confession and then them settling into marital bliss. But the writer has pushed the audience into an abyss of illogical sub-plots and conniving,obsessive cousin that make no sense. The writer has done so much harm to Meerab’s character to the point that her redemption arc will take some doing.
So in summary , if you haven’t yet started the show but are wondering what the fuss is about, I would suggest don’t waste your time watching the entire show. Just read these two posts and scenes that are probably worth spending your 45 mins on this show just to watch the excellent Wahaj Ali as Murtasim and his fine chemistry with Yumna Zaidi as Meerab.
P.S: Thank me later 😉

here’s a gif of taylor lautner back flipping down the stage
the TB that I ABSOLUTELY fell IN LOVE with, and the dargah scene with arziyaan at the back truly won me over and made me continue watching.
shit went downhill over the episodes but THIS WAS THE TB that so many ppl fell in love with.
the ✨️POTENTIAL✨️ this show had was insane, with very rarely seen chemistry these days between ML and FL but it was so badly written mid-show/last 20-ish episodes. WE WERE ROBBED SO BAD.
so many plotholes and potential storylines that could have made the story so MUCH better. crying at the wasted opportunity. but hey, we got Meesam and Meerasim reunion which lasted like 10 minutes 🤡😶🙃 which could have been a whole other plot line by itself with so many unsaid conversations and apologies left. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
but hey, yeh loh S2 of TB. satyanaash, hope we don't get NM as the writer again.
watching a period drama is not enough I need the lingering shots of hands, costumes and background score shot into my veins
