A prime example of how you can love someone but just don't like them anymore. Not everyone you love is likeable. Taking momentary pain to break free over a lifetime of painful attachment with short bursts of happiness is a better deal. Notice how they cry a little but end up smiling. Pretty impactful I'd say.

@saamirali9338 Год назад

@@sheikhokasiyaapa2752 u are just making assumptions that he did girl's signature. And sign means divorce. If I make assumption, I would assume that she felt so good to be free after seeing the divorce papers.

The smile at the end proves that even though it was extremely painful and hard for her to do, it was just as necessary. Score was beautiful. The whole vibe was melancholic and humorous. Was very funny in some places. Jokes hit. That is the kind of humor that coveys humanity and reality, exactly what Pakistani visual industry needs to adopt. Script shows perfectly that these characters have history, without being expositional and a sort of rewind. Five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

@fatimazahra2414 2 года назад

Watched this 8 times now! What's REALLY nice is that this is the FIRST time I have seen a Pakistani work where the characters are intelligent. When you watched Hollywood movies or Tv shows you can tell how smart their character are and we always miss that we imitate indians who are dramaybaaz and everything is hyped and even though our shows are more sensible than Indian ones we still are shallow or we try to be a bit oversmart but not this here the characters are so deep and smart and even the actors were perfect for this the actors fit the character so well.. the music is also so beautiful fits so well with everything.. I just love this.. very proud we can do all of this too

@hammadakbar3771 2 года назад

I had been waiting for this for a long time. Very short and sweet. Usman has the potential to change Lollywood for the better, with Hollywood-level films. This and the other video he directed for Ameer Gilani's song, both had brilliant cinematography. Rubya Chaudhry was amazing. She said so much without even speaking much. And that ending, while left for the audience to assume, I believe he didn't sign the papers. Otherwise, Eman wouldn't be smiling like that. I hope Usman considers directing full fledged films or dramas, but not the traditional ones.

@fatimazahra2414 2 года назад

This was just great. The dialogues were piercing! Jab Hasan nay keha " Mujhe ye nehi pata tha kay jab tak tum batao gi boht deyr ho chuki hogi"- it floored me!! Sublime writing. The acting of Usman and especially Rubya was so authentic as well. 10/10 We need more of this!

@mah-e-kana373 2 года назад

The only phrase which fits perfectly here is "TWO RIGHT PEOPLE BUT WRONG TIMING" ... Maybe thats how it works. Maybe that's how it's meant to be. Maybe the love they had for each other was keeping them captives. At the end, bench remained there, from witnessing their passionate love for each other to hearing their unsaid words. I dont know why she smiled at the end, was it because she was free from all the burden she was carrying, or because he didn't actually divorced her. Nonetheless, a very bittersweet yet very beautiful 12 minutes and 08 seconds.

Beautiful. I was so much trapped in this that I fall my tea on me... But I just placed the cup aside and kept watching. The end is so obvious, she loved her husband and somewhere from heart depth she doesn't want the divorce. The way tears fell from her eyes shows clearly that she is now sad after the divorce. But in the cab when she saw the paper she smiled. And this smile was a hundred million dollars smile, showing that paper was unsigned or just written 'I love you my dear wife's 💞
