Ehd-e-wafa is one of those serials whuch due to their high production quality take the audience by storm anf after it develops everyone's interest, it loses the point but as everyone watched it with great interest now it becomes infeasible to leave the series at that point.... so ratings stay afloat till the end.
The series didn't start off with a bang rather it took its time to develop (more on that later) all the arcs and then went from strength to strength due to its entertainment values but then it starts limping because the story was not developed properly rather it seemed like they were developing the story with each episode..
The writing of the play is good enough just because the series is a relief from wacky and saas bahu plots the audience is used to seeing in the past few years. However it is the main aspect of the story which lacks complete development, i-e friendship. The series never explores the characters' friendship in depth rather it handles it on a superfacial manner and the conflict arrives too soon but you get past it since it is being asserted that their friendship was something next level but it wasn't, and the serial remains thoroughly entertaining. The second flaw was despite having a fine screenplay, it was the story which didn't know where it was headed.. However on the whole the screenplay was commendable not just because it was a relief but also it expands its hofizons past army and focuses into all the lives at the centre.. Had the story been treated with some attention to detail, it would have been the script of the year..
The direction was brilliant.. Saif e hassan is surely a brilliant director and created a name for himself after Sang e marmar, Sammi and now ehd e wafa.
The acting was spot on and Zara Noor Abbas as Raani stole the show despite her track contributing less than its screentime to the story... However Osman Khalid's portrayal leaves alot to be desired.. Rather than playing the character with nuance and insight, it came off as a caricature and extremely vile and black.. what should have been a grey character...
Watch it for the relief and some amazing performances and tight direction. Despite the flaws you will not regret.
