When the going gets TOUGH….the TOUGH gets going….

Recently faced the first professional politics of my life….and for a person like me who enjoys living in her fairytale life,it was very difficult to handle….or should I say,unbearable to some extent.

But now I feel lucky to have experienced it….atleast I will beaware of it all my life due to this experience.

Just want to say,if someone is trying to let you down, don’t give up……the biggest defeat of those people will be to see you SHINE inspite of soooo much of hardwork put up by them. It’s a tried & tested formula…….even if that plotter manages to lessen your scope, prove that person wrong in that little scope itself. Don’t let your ego play the card.

Talent can never be hidden….if you have it in you,it is bound to come out no matter what & no matter how short is the span you are performing for.

And those people who find happiness in letting down others , they have already lost to that person….because a person is insecure of someone only when that person is better than himself\herself.

So,just be proud of yourself whenever someone tries to let you down.

Just believe in yourself……Don’t let anyone steal your peace of mind…..don’t let anyone manipulate you or the people around you against you…..don’t let that person accomplish those wrong intentions….and most important of all,don’t be impulsive at that moment….cool down,and only then,  go for a decision.

Remember, nobody can defeat you until you yourself decide to give up……and the regret of giving up is very haunting…much worse than even getting defeated. So, better, root for yourself & fight like that soldier who knows his defeat is inevitable but fights till the last breath……till there is that last breath, There is life, Till there is life, 

Till there is courage, there is hope

And till there is hope, How can someone loose

Keep trying until you compel all your hurdles to bow down and perish.

Who knows,that last try from which you are Backing off may be the winning try

Keep up your self confidence….and success will surely kiss your feet someday or the other

Most importantly…….just keep in mind that these hurdles may be painful at the moment…but when you will look back at them in the future, they will be like the Badges on your shoulders. Just enjoy these hurdles…..just think how boring life would have been if it turned out to be predictable & behaved just the way we want it to. Just embrace your hurdles & struggles happily because these hurdle stories & not the “Perfect” stories will be the centre of attraction when you will sit on the rocking chair & tell your life story to your grand children. And trust me, your personal adventures will be MUCHHHH more intresting than all those adventures across the pages of their  favourite Adventure Story books because they will be yours….they will be knitted with your emotions & weaved with your feelings.

So when the situations are adverse, when the way out is difficult…….just gather all your strength , face the situation & conquer it. Just Prove Yourself& show the world Your Worth.

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH…THE TOUGH GETS GOING

HaqSe Episode 11 Review : The Intensification

This episode intensifies everything.... Be it emotions, courage, jealousy, care, determination or just the feelings of belonging. 

Jannat-Raghu's proximity disturbs Mirza-Azi relationship & strengthens Baano-Taabish relation. The Love rectangle transformations into a Pentagon with Amal emerging as the fifth angle. And I think, this Pentagon is surely going to be very unstable & explosive.

Aaliya acts as the binding force to Meher-Naushaad. A new shade of Naushaad... Which is quite non definable is witnessed. He has started harbouring a secret desire to be someone special & important to Meher,a fact that he himself doesn't want to accept but his soft corner for Meher is very distinctly visible.

AND I MUST ADMIT, I HAVE BECOME A FAN OF THE LITTLE ANGEL😍😍😍

The terrorist interaction is the highlight of the episode. Superbly visilualised, directed, written & performed.  Kudos to the whole team. 

Now, WAITING EAGERLY FOR THE NEXT SET OF EPISODES.  

MY ADVICE TO THE VIEWERS, IF YOU ARE MISSING OUT THIS SERIES, I ASSURE YOU....YOU WILL SURELY REGRET IT. 

HaqSe Episode 10 Review : The Transformations

This is the episode which is all about major changes taking place in everyone's life. Everyone is experiencing their "NOT SO USAUAL" emotions.

We see the love rectangle becoming more prominent. Somewhere there is budding love, somewhere trust,  somewhere Care & compassion and off course,  a new emotion jealousy takes it's form. The previous cute triangle starts turning into a Vigorous one through it's transformation.

Raghu emerges to be the game changer in such a short span of time. Jannat & him are quite interesting. It's so natural to fall for someone you have been admiring for so long. And our Friendzone Victim Taabish's jealous & frustrated side was inevitable.

Aaliya-Naushaad scenes are always show stealers irrespective of how short or long they are....just can't have enough of them😍

The stations of tension & desire to live a free life is kept intact.

And by the end of the episode,  the rectangle tends to take the form of a Pentagon too😉

Overall, I can say, this episode works as the buildup for some bigger events which are yet to come in the upcoming episodes. 

HaqSe Episode 9 Review: New Hope (My Favourite)

This episode is dedicated to emantiate a new hope in Every Character’s life!!!
And indeed, it is my PERSONAL FAVOURITE!!!

We discover the most lovable shade of Dr.Rizvi…..the shade which is bound to steal your heart away *Only if you were  among those 0.000000000000000001% of Viewers whose Hearts were still safe from our Doctor’s charm in the last 8 episodes*😜
 A Vulnerable Father!! Even after being one of the Finest Pediatrition….when the patient turned out to be his daughter ….he just couldn’t handle himself! A professional doctor turns to be an absolutely unprofessional one!

And I must say, Mr. Ravishingly Perfect Khandelwal steals the show single handedly!
The love expressed by @RK1610isme connects to you so magically!!!!😍 You can literally feel his pain….his  insecurity….his fear…his devastation!!! HATS OFF to you for these particular sequences! I’m just short of words to explain how I felt as a viewer.

And Surveen Chawla too proves herself yet again with her beautiful subtle display of such strong emotions.
And their chemistry is of course drool-worthy.

And also, on the other side, the love triangle transforms into a Rectangle....Raghu as the fourth angle transforms the till then Serene Love Triangle into An Explosive Love Rectangle.

Overall..... I just love EVERYTHING about this episode. Spell Bound! Kudos to the whole team👏👏👏

Haq Se Episode 8 Review : Pure Perfection

One of the most effective episodes which compels you TO THINK! 

Here,we find a positive side of politics too in the form of Gulam Sahab who despite being from the elder generation, finds it perfectly fine to let the girls live their dreams. 

AND the character of Taabish becomes more & more lovable.... He stands as the backbone to the sisters, No matter what!

We witness one more lovable aspect of Our Doctor Sahab😍  

Nothing is more important to him than his daughter.

 Rajeev Khandelwal does a tremendously perfect job when he portrays Vulnerability in his eyes & angst on his face....Simultaneously with his anger on Meher and an effortlessly beautiful transition , his voice & behaviour instantly melting down, sweeter than nectar when Aaliya is around!

And…and….and…..we see the first glimpse of jealous Dr.Rizvi too!!!

We also witness how broken is he in love that he has stopped believing in this most beautiful emotion of the world.

Baano's innocent love towards a clueless Tabish & Tabish's sweetness & open-mindedness towards Jashn steals my heart. Loving the way This love story is shaping up. 

We also find a glimpse of yet another shade of Dr.Rizvi …..a protective father…..a father who is even ready to defame himself in front of his daughter who is his life,just to protect her from being felt unwanted. A person undergoing so much of turnmoil emotionally.

But even then, he still has a beautiful heart beating inside him, which peeps out of the abstract curtains he has installed around himself . A person who has lost faith in love….whose wounds have made him loose a lot of human emotions & get robotified .

And Meher,she is that mirror which shows him who he really is! And unknowingly , she tries to drag him back to embrace the real him!

And I must say,Amal’s character is over-exaggerated here too!! Circumstances like the ones the mirza family was going through makes even the stupidest of people smart but she continues her dumbness. I just couldn’t understand the writer’s perspective of keeping her character stagnant even in such serious situations.

And then,the Highlight of the episode is Jannat yet again!! BRILLIANTLY PERFORMED! The way she fearlessly raises her voice is incredible. It is absolutely a fresh air of hope!!! An inspiration for the people to stand up for their rights & not to have the fear of consequences of  telling the truth.

By saying,  "Mai KASHMIR hu" ,she embraced all the problems of Whole Kashmir as her own..... And this is indeed something which if we all do, even in case of the simplest of problems.....the society is sure to experience a new beautiful dawn. 

A big applause to the dialogue writer & the director 👏👏👏

HaqSe Episode 7 : The Eye Opener

It shows the helplessness of the innocent people

A girl so innocent has to go through so much of emotional & social breakthrough just because she decided to take the flight of her dreams, Which is very illegal according to the norms of the chauvinistic society she’s living in! Much relavant to Kashmir but quite relavant to our whole society as a whole too.

The first high point of the story line!! But being such an important sequence, I think all the chaos could have been a little bit more elaborated visually as well as in terms of time duration.....A bit of more detailing would have definitely given the feel of the conflicting scenario KASHMIR faces almost everyday. 

And yet,another shade of our Dear Doctor……someone who believes & supports the rights of everyone to live their lives according to their own wishes.

And we see an ugly side of politics or maybe of those, who make our politics ugly! The Character of Salman efficiently represents those politicians who are just taking the advantage of the helplessness of his people. 

Khala represents a character torn between her real relationships & those who she tries or wishes to have. A great representation of how love makes & breaks a person!

Jannat as an idealistic journalist shines again! Just loving her fearlessness & the way Taabish stands by her no matter what! 

And then, a scenario depicting all those suppressors who can't stand a girl living a good life. 

An eye opener for all the people to stop giving up & stand up for themselves

Haq Se episode 6 review

Here….we witness a fun side of the character of Dr.Rizvi……it is so adorable to watch him tease his intern in such a fun way! 

A great way to make Meher realize her mistakes indeed, as it is rightly said, “You can’t feel anybody else’s problem, unless you yourself experience it!”

“Log dekhte bohot kuch hai,jaante bohot kum hai & samajhte kuch bhi nai!!” this sentence conveys one of the biggest problems people face,in every age group & in every part of the world!

Loved his way of accepting his own mistakes too!

And the Jashn of Jashn continues! 

Fearlessness & determinations is encouraged! If you want to live your dreams, you will have to fight off the so called “IDEALISTIC” society!!! Otherwise,living a life of compromise is always easy.

The Chemistry of Meher & Dr.Rizvi betters & in fact, becomes visible!

And we see yet another shade of Dr. Rizvi….a supporter  of modernization…someone who believes that there is nothing at all wrong in living some prohibited dreams.

The magic of love works again & the love triangle grows & grows!

A special mention to the character of Taabish…he’s quite sweet! 

Overall.....a very refreshing episode.

Haq Se episode 5 Review : The pouring emotions

Meher’s subconsciousness pours out all her emotions……kudos to Surveen for the drunk scene!!!

And we witness yet another new shade of Dr.Rizvi……the empathetic one!! 

Who cares about other people’s problems more than his ego or arrogance. He cares for others but just refrains from showing them.
The episode is dedicated to express the true emotions of most of the characters!

Some are acknowledged & some not! Meher’s emotions stroke a right chord in front of Dr. Rizvi where’s those of Tabish & Baano remains unacknowledged.

The views & popularity of Jashn has been a bit exaggerated! 100k views in just few hours is a bit unnatural!

And we see the entry of the cutest character……AALIYA & TRUST ME,you just can’t help falling for her.

And yet another version of Dr. Rizvi ….being a caring & loving father…..and we start witnessing a cute version of our Dr.Sahab ….the version bound to melt hearts.

Bano’s character is pure innocence….loved the way the writer’s treated her 1^st success phase.

Loved the suble approach of the writer & director to gravest or the lightest of situations.....this keeps the originatily intact!

HaqSe episode 4 review

Here we get a glimpse of unspoken love….a love scared to be expressed….or maybe,scared to be rejected.

The  circumstances of medical profession,where you have to keep all your personal fears aside to save a life is portrayed very well!!!

Love the way every small detail is taken care of by the director in the all the scenes….irrespective of how important they are in the story line.

Loveeeed the dialogues!!! Dr.rizvi’s sarcasm is always perfect to the tee! He knows everything what people think of him & absolutely fine with it!

The  game of judgement & preassumptions continues!!!

And we sense a beautiful  love triangle shaping up…..subtle….not at all exaggerated just as it happens in real life.

Love Baano’s innocence….and off course,I’m liking Tabish’s character.

Amal’s dumbness & slyness at the same time is quite contrasting!! If there is one character weakly written , it has to be amal’s but kudos to the actress. Maintaining such a weird accent throughout isn’t as easy  as it seems.

We witness how stressful meher’s life has become….being the eldest daughter

A Doctor resides in her brain even when she is not in her senses & the last scene is perfectly performed.

The highlight of the episode is the connectivity it establishes with the circumstances of our everyday life, not only that of the people of Kashmir....but of the people all around. 

HAQ SE Episode 3 review

In this episode, The complications in the lives intensifies….everyone is fighting against with their own set of problems….according to their own set of beliefs.

The tale of hurt, humiliations ,judgement,rejections & dejections intensifies

Dr Rizvi appears to be very professional…..someone who even after being always with the cute children refuses to live his life governed by his heart…..he considers his brain superior to his heart or perhaps…wants to illusion himself to believe so!

His character is so complex….his jokes  & teasing techniques are so wise & witty! 

Fully Decoding his character perhaps is the puzzle every viewer will utterly enjoy.

Nobody else can carry this kind of grave & serious role with such charm!

Surveen chawla perfects the role of a less speaking but stong individual.

And then, we find a glimpse of dreams which are considered wrong in terms of social norms.

The characters of Amal & Baano represent innocence in a beautiful way…Amal’s stupidities are just a lighter way of representing those dreams which are prohibited by the society. 

The best part about the show till now according to me is it's perfect pace & perfect blend of emotions.

Haq Se episode 2 Review

The 2^nd episode of HaqSe takes us to a give a deeper insight to the lives of people.

On one hand,there are incidences compelling the characters to loose hope…and on the other hand, they show a strong determination to fight it off. Their lives are not governed by the norms of the society in the gravest of situations.  Inspite of so much of hardships, all are ready to live an absolutely normal & fun life. They present a new hope for all those who think only their lives are problematic.

And we meet a SUPER-JUDGEMENTAL Dr.Rizvi….who believes in the common norms of the society…public facts means more to him rather than trying to figure out the actual truth.But he is flexible enough listen to & understand someone else’s view points  &  to accept his mistakes….not verbally as his ego won’t allow it but atleast through his actions.He is that one character who has so many shades….A Character pen perfect for Rajeev Khandelwal! And off course, he slays!

 One moment you may disagree with him but the other moment,he’ll make you realize that all his actions are justified & he too is bound in all those dilemmas that all of us face in our daily lives

And on the other hand is Meher who is strong enough to give more importance to her self respect rather than her requirement of a job….who is not scared to make someone who did something wrong , realize it.The innocence of the sisters & the family is still a highlight.

And off course,Jannat being the narrator & one of the protagonists shines here too..The courage of standing up even if you know it may cost you a heavy toll is toooo inspiring!

THE AURA OF #HAQSE

Just watched the first episode of the much talked about AltBalaji Series #HaqSe & there was something about it which compelled me to write!

The show has an intense AURA of itself!! I am not saying so because it has a Steller cast & a well known Brand Power which have already been the talk of the town for months….but because the show itself has been written ,designed & executed so intricately that all these Star Powers are just a bonus to it!

The theme & story itself is enough to draw anyone’s attention towards it. Kashmir has never ever been portayed perfectly in any medium…be it TV,Movies or the Web. The lives there have always been exaggerated to be either too grim or too negative. They have always been treated as some different species altogether by most of the storytellers.

But the way #HaqSe is treating Kashmir & it’s lifestyle, it brings a new hope. The way the life of people is portrayed is the the perfect amalgamation of HAPPINESS, JOY, DREAMS, DESIRES, ASPIRATIONS, HOPES, DETERMINATION, STRENGTH & EMOTIONS.

Each & every character is so intricately designed….they all have their unique identities, their unique ideaologies & their unique perception towards life…..AND THEY ALL HAVE A VALID REASON FOR BEING WHAT THEY ARE! Yet when in the moment of crising, they all are together! This easily connects to all the humans as a whole…and not just Kashmir.

Talking of the Performances, each & every actor has embraced his/her character so beautifully that it seems written just for them. And by the way, special applause to the character of Jannat ….it is bound to be incredible! Just found the character of Amal a bit exaggerated….But I think it is a conscious decision on the writer’s part.

Loved the FIRE & ICE combination of Meher & Dr. Rizvi.

The pace with which which the story proceeds is perfect. 

Loved the dialogues!!!!! 

And off course, Great Direction.

The picturesque locations of KASHMIR take your Breath away….The Cinematography is so strong that you can literally experience why Kashmir is called the “Heaven on Earth”.

Overall…..It’s good to have a series which talks of women’s Right not by Victimizing them,but by empowering them & by trying to inspire them to raise their voice.

So, for all those who want to watch good content, HaqSe is a must watch!!!
