Iqtidar

Wish we could see more of mehshah, that's my only complain with the story, I wish the story didn't seem sidelined to the main characters of the show themselves, there's too much focus on the side characters and in return it feels like the episodes are shorter because there are barely any scenes of the main characters, hope the director sees the reviews and give more importance to the main leads instead of illogical and unnecessary side characters scenes, Ali and Anmol have unique chemistry with lots of potential that could do justice to their characters, hope that chemistry is not wasted and used properly.

Best drama I've ever seen the chemistry is awesome Meher un nisa and Shahnawaz shah are the best...every character is upto date perfect I want this drama to never end I want daily episodes of it There enemy to lover phase is awesome I love their romantic angle how to beautifully they've played there character Ali Raza has become my crush now and Anmol Baloch she is very beautiful I love this drama...the way Meher un nisa said to Amal that call me bhabhi he's your brother that scene was fire...and the way saman shah is taking care of you I like it I just want a happy ending nothing else you guys nailed it.

When I started watching it, it felt very mid; the story wasn't really interesting, unique, or new. I didn't feel like watching it continuously, but after I watched two or three episodes, the chemistry between Ali Raza and Anmol Baloch really grabbed my attention. Now I'm hooked! Their chemistry is something else, and they look so good together. Today, the 27th episode came out, and tomorrow the 28th will be released, and I cannot wait for it! This is the kind of grip they've created on me. Their chemistry keeps you wanting more. Despite not having a very strong script and a typical storyline, Ali and Anmol truly shine. I love seeing them together and can't wait to see more of them!

UPDATE ON THE REVIEW- taking back my ratings because the amount of screen time, the main couple, due to whom this drama is hit in the first place is 3 minutes out of 70 minutes in 2 episodes and it's absolutely laughable. No focus on main leads and the entire show is only being focal towards the side characters, this is my current rating of the show. As the show seems to be made for side characters with no plot and screen time for the main couple.

Review before- Anmol and Ali are truly an amazing example of chemistry gone right, writing could have a billion times better though, I understand what way they're going with the plot but I wish it was one where the hero knew what he was doing, I feel like his character could have explored the complexity of his emotions in so many other ways instead of giving his time to the fiancé he never cared for before, the Shahnawaz shah who wanted to focus on his career so much before suddenly being disinterested goes against everything he stood for and the core of his character in return has been lost.

And mehrunnisa, my girl is everything a girl could dream to be, stood for everything she believed in, had self respect be the core of her character, never let men lead and always formed her own way in her life even though she was discouraged for it all her life, her suddenly dedicating her life to fix a mama's boy wasn't what her character stood for. It was too out of character for her. I hope she goes back to work again and gain back the spine mehru had that we all adored. I still don't understand what they're trying to show between the couple because their scenes and emotions are all over the place. It's scene after scene instead of processing their respective interaction first, I truly hope it goes in a right way and the story is not rushed because then it will look too incompetent to everything we hope from this show and specially what we expect from a chemistry like the leads have.

Iqtidar started with a total different story with different background what I mean is Political Background. The characters are strong and the actors played well with these characters as directed.

I just love the way they made the main female lead a strong character otherwise mostly female leads are innocent whatever. Mehru played by Anmol Baloch is displayed beautifully and Shahnawaz played by Ali Raza was also represented as it should have been. The story started with great plot and Zain Shah as villain played well, I loved the way they didn't make villian nice too at the end instead they kept him the same as he was, neither the girl could change him nor the crime he did.

However, now the episodes seem boring with zero plot, and it's just all about Mehru and Shahnawaz and their LOVE.

The trope is not bad, but that doesn't happen in real life, if we look from that perspective. It has become all so cheesy.

So, it's 8/10 from me.
