ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Fans angry at Industry Veterans for criticising ‘Ishq Murshid’
Despite its immense popularity and loyal fanbase, Ishq Murshid has recently faced criticism from industry veterans.
Some have raised concerns about its fantasy genre storyline, citing an abundance of bright lights that seemingly overshadow the leads.
They claim that it contributes to what they perceive as “overacting”.
For instance, esteemed actor Waseem Abbas expressed his reservations about Bilal Abbas Khan’s portrayal.
He suggested that there was an excess of theatricality in his performance.
Shamoon Abbasi, another prominent figure in the industry, echoed similar sentiments regarding the technical aspects of the show.
He pointed out flaws in the lighting techniques, remarking that the illumination on the actors’ faces appears outdated and overly intense. He said that it looked like they were using torchlights.
Stars like Marina Khan, Nadia Khan and Sadia Imam have also weighed in on Ishq Murshid, offering lukewarm reviews of the drama.
While acknowledging its popularity, they expressed disappointment with certain aspects of the storyline and execution.
Additionally, they notably praised Bilal Abbas Khan’s performance in a recent comparison with Hamza Ali Abbasi’s Jaan e Jahan.
However, amidst the criticism, fans of Ishq Murshid and Bilal Abbas Khan have been vocal in their support.
They defend the show and its lead actor against detractors. Social media platforms have been abuzz with discussions and debates.
Audiences are passionately expressing their opinions on the drama’s merits and flaws.
A user wrote: “There is a diversity of tastes within people.
“Some people may find fault with certain aspects of the show, others might continue to find joy and entertainment in its narrative and performances.
“They can’t just call the whole show bad because it wasn’t their cup of tea.”
Another said: “Bilal Abbas has always been the best actor. I see no flaws in the drama or his acting.”
One fan commented: “These veterans are sitting with no work while Bilal and Durefishan are making hits.”
Another asked: “Shamoon didn’t even watch the drama, he said so himself. So how can he even review it?”
One pointed out:
“This drama is being liked and appreciated worldwide and here our senior actors are criticising it.”
Ishq Murshid has undeniably captured the imagination of viewers, emerging as a phenomenon in the realm of Pakistani dramas.
The show revolves around the character of Shahmeer Skiandar/Fazal Bakhsh, portrayed by the talented Bilal Abbas Khan.
The chemistry between Shahmeer and Shibra, played by Durefishan Saleem, has garnered widespread admiration, adding to the allure of the series.
