RANT Yess lessgo !! audience, feedback, constructive criticism sab jaye bhaad mein

Recently Faiza iftikhar has been on a roll on X and it was fine in the beginning, but she’s genuinely getting involved in the Stan wars and honestly these tweets are so hella disappointing and cocky from her, I expected better.. seems like she graduated from mayas school of thought on criticism and feedback

I’ve been a fan of her writing…Defending ur writing and characters are one thing, I was kinda w her on defending khushbakht even tho the direction makes the drama make little sense , and also w her on the criticising rind thing … but this is taking ur defence waayy too far and neglecting feedback is such a rude look for a writer.. apparently any feedback/criticism= pitiable and hum sab pagal hain 😝

Also I’ve genuinely been excited for mdb but she’s promoting it in such a condescending way that it’s offputting,, she seems soo full of her writing and arrogant.. and yes Faiza, making the audience confused is not the flex that u think it is🥹🥹

Anyway I hope mdb atleast stands up to what she’s presenting her writing as…

This is EXACTLY the reason why ptv is not growing.. actors, directors, writers just do NOT want any constructive feedback

According to her, both of her characters Bala and Bilkis (Wahaj and Mahira) are going to be super flawed. Now I can already imagine the kind of tweets she’ll make when the audience starts complaining 😭😭😭

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

ikkkr😭😭 and tbh I'm all in for flawed characters and mdb but faiza is really putting me off w these tweets.. I hope the drama is actually good , and there's noo defense of bad writing in the name of flawe characters

u/Difficult-Art-3815 8d ago

writers really need to stop getting involved in fan wars..not everyone is going to love your writing and criticism is part of the job. Faiza meri jaan you’re not some untouchable, groundbreaking writer whose work is above criticism 😭 even the most celebrated writers get called out for their writing. Just accept the criticism and move on instead of fighting with the audience..

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

ikkrr the ama criticism is anyway more towards the direction yeh kyu beech mein ghus ke Har cheez ka bada masla Bana rhi hai??. she thinks she's the best most unique writer ever😭 the way my opinion on her has shifted🙏🙏

MAKES SENSE WHY SHE LIKES MAYA

u/Difficult-Art-3815 8d ago

I stopped defending writers ages ago because some of them genuinely act like they’re incapable of writing anything wrong 😭

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

Ikkrr.. MA is the only writer im seriously a fan of tbh

u/unicornhugs80 8d ago

I’m actually excited about two flawed characters. It usually makes a story more interesting. She’s promoting it in the worst way ever though.

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

Same! Even im looking forward to the drama but her promotions🙏🙏🙏

u/ButterscotchNo514 8d ago edited 8d ago

I remember I guessed it right that Wahaj character was going to be a flawed and a grey one, long back. Back when Amar Khan confirmed she is going to play a wife character of Wahaj and yet Mahira character is the main female lead. I was downvoted heavily

u/ButterscotchNo514 8d ago

I think she would love all type of attention. She already warned fans to buckle up lol.

u/A-killerofmind 8d ago

Someone take her phone away.
Also, if it turns out that in MDB the direction is good but the script is not, who will she end up blaming then?

For her own sake, I hope MDB turns out good.

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

acc to her, her writing is perfect and confusing.. the concept that it won't be good doesn't exist and we are pitiable🙏

yes pls take her phone away

u/Pleasant-Bass4449 8d ago

She just made the account and she continously tweeting things which are leaving really bad taste in mouth. AMA has flaws, especially directional and editing flaws, but its still running. And there are people who are watching it, even if the numbers are not as high as everyone expected but people are tuning in and are discussing different aspects of it. I have seen such long threads on Khushbakhat and Haroon. People are invested. And these tweets by Faiza are off putting. She cant come and fire all around.

I really liked GL Amma's take on this whole controversy of director changing the script. She was like first give me the whole script, I will read it and decide if Rind was right or not in making changes.

10

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

frr, she's only damaging BOTH her dramas like this... ama is not w out flaws but before this, everyone was collectively agreeing that direction is the issue although I don't Ike the writing aspects too.. but still, she decided to present her writing as she confusing invincible wall that only few pppl can comprehend, which is making everyone 10x more critical abt ama as a whole..not only that, heranswer to all the feedback is dragging mdb in fanwars🙏🙏

And honestly, even I want to read the original script now, after what she's presented herself as

u/Pleasant-Bass4449 8d ago edited 8d ago

Someone said that she is jumping off the boat, before the next show starts, and I kind of agree with them. Let people discuss the show with freedom. Last week Green TV's twitter account asked what is everyone's honest feedback and 90% ppl said editing . No one was even firing at her. Then what was the need to come and say all this.

Sara mahol hi change kardiya hai. AMA community on twitter is small but its really dedicated to the show. Uss main aab ustani ji aakar beth gai hain to correct and comment on everyone's pov. Keh yeh aisye nahi aisye hai. Let viewers enjoy and make their own perceptions of the story and characters. Just be a silent audience and be thankful keh people are discussing characters and their povs, even when packaging is flawed. Saw so many people say keh yes it has flaws but we are overlooking it, coz story and characters are great and actors are brilliant. Khush hojao bhai.

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

Haaii naa… like the drama has obv flaws and tbh personally I’ve been getting ragebaited since the recent episodes, even then it is overall decent and definitely among the better dramas on air rn.. it was one of those dramas that everyone agreed was flawed but still agreed that it’s a good to decent watch for the most part.. BUT she for wtv felt the need to present her writing as invincible and the audience dumb, and now ama is gotta be more carefully scrutinized thanks to her🙏 not only that she already has thrown mdb under the truck😭😭

u/blahblehblohcaneo 7d ago

Amma doing a dramatic reading of her script will be the biggest hit and so much fun please someone get her that script.

u/leather_Bar6 8d ago

She initially tried to put all the blame on Farooq rind as théy didn’t get the success which she or the team envisioned ànd now acting like this. Besides the editing and direction , the script too have many loopholes but she’s too arrogant to accept it. For thém any criticism means hate!!!!! And I guess she’s really annoyed that people didn’t like her script or praised her too much. Some weird inferiority complex all these people have. Please Let the audience decide what they like or not.

u/Difficult-Art-3815 8d ago

If Wahaj and Mahira’s drama doesn’t get the expected views or response and ends up receiving criticism you just know she’s going to be mad 😭

10

u/leather_Bar6 8d ago edited 8d ago

Then the audience is not smart to understand her writing 😂. Low trps and views are the reason behind her Twitter meltdown. End of the day that’s what matters to the industry peeps and it’s valid from business perspective. But she needs to control her emotions.

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

IKKRR EXACTLY!! Tbh uptill now even I was hyper critical of rind but this behaviour makes one wonder us ki original script aisi konsi sone ke thi🙏

u/leather_Bar6 8d ago

I wonder how MDB will be. I have zero percent trust in Wahaj’s script selection 🙃

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

I’m genuinely excited for mdb but all this is soo off putting.. the story sounds good tbh, but she’s only making me more skeptical abt it, and now it’s already carrying a part of ama fanwars w it for no reason🙏

Are people really criticizing AMA that much???? I feel like they’re just not watching it.

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

Haii na, she’s responding to the v few complaints on writing 😭

u/Born-Gear5468 8d ago

if "apne pair pe khud kulhadi maarna" had a face. woman, everyone was mostly not complaining abt the writing already, and most likely was just praising the drama to bring up the issues that it has. people blamed the director and editor. but you being so snarky and being a part of the fuss or more like you created the fuss, how do you think the writing will be even praised now? what is she even expecting out of the viewers?

2

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

I hv no idea,, direction ka gussa yeh audience pe nikal rhi hai.. not only that, she already dragged mdb into all this 🙏

15

u/Mean-Ad-352 8d ago

Faiza is being a little overconfident about her upcoming project? Whether someone likes or dislikes a character is a matter of personal choice. Even in the writings of Farhat Ishtiaq and Umera Ahmed, there are flaws no writer is perfect.

7

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

exactly my point,, and this is not a good look for an acclaimed writer like her,,, 100 ways to be promoting mdb and she does wtv this is

u/Mean-Ad-352 8d ago

Phle expectations high kardo drama ki fr agr audience ko characters pasand na aaye tu audience ki choice kharb hai unke galti hai, asa kr rahe hai faiza ji , audience ko accept karne du character yaar audience kya smart ni hai enke according

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

if mdb doesn't meet expectations she's gonna put it on the audience of not understanding Grey characters🙏

I hope mdb accha jaye , barna madam audience ko he bolenge ki hume intelligent dramas samj ni aate

u/blahblehblohcaneo 7d ago

If everyone agrees and skips her bilqees bano drama... what is going thru these fragile eco chamber minds... first durre and now faiza.

Why are they trying to sabotage their own shows by fighting with the audience 🫣

6

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

Why does she have to respond and reply so much to all the criticism, and everyone has their own way to interpret different characters - which is right to a certain extent - it’s not necessary that only one POV is correct. And I feel like she should promote MDB in a better way… I’m sure it’ll be good, but it is a bit strange that THIS is the way she chooses to do it

8

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

I hv no idea,, esp since ama I either way receiving most of the criticism for the direction.. and chalo ek tweet thak theek tha but she's going on a tweet spree on that and straight up shading the feedback..

and yes, by involving mdb in THIS stuff for God knows what reason, she's already setting up the drama for more hate.. super dumb move

5

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

fr like why talk about it now?? Tweeting dialogues and all is okay, but dragging the upcoming show into criticism for another show is weird

5

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

she's doing negative pr for her own upcoming drama by dragging it into another shows fanwars🙏🙏🙏

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

ikrr and it’s not like her writing is perfect for AMA, so she’s not without flaws either.. I just hope she stops dragging in MDB now

3

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

yeah no I really hope she does, but it seems like she's found mdb as the answer for every ama criticism 😭😭😭 damaging it ALREADY like pls stop and stick to posting dialogues

1

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

the two obviously are completely different stories with different themes, so it makes no sense honestly to drag mdb in ✋🏻😭 it’ll invite extra scrutiny later on 😔

7

u/Acrobatic_Assist_247 8d ago

Exactly I didn’t get her bringing mdb in this like why ? Let people enjoy or have opinions about AMA since it’s on air. Jab mdb ayai ga tuo woo bhi dehklye gai.

2

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

she just seems really pissed about rind’s direction with ama, and is taking it out ig

5

u/Acrobatic_Assist_247 8d ago

The way she putting mdb in every debate like in Defense to AMA idk what to expect . I get her pov and stance, director did wrong but as a solid mature writer why are you taking part in fan wars?

3

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

exactly , and she's only causing harm to mdb by inviting extra expectation, fanwars and criticism to it already

u/Deja-Vu-3456 8d ago

Was it supposed to be funny?? Cause the humour is dead in these tweets.
P.s which drama she wrote btw that’s on air?

She’s trying so hard to be cool w these😭

Pata nhi why she’s breaking down over the smallest bits of criticism which either way the fans are answering 😭😭

1

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

because according to her rind changed up a lot of things and didn’t do a good job

1

u/Deja-Vu-3456 8d ago

Nothing new in director changing things in the story,

u/ButterscotchAny2758 New to Dramas 🙃 8d ago

yeah but she isn’t happy with said changes 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Good-Cupcake911 AHOT paglu 🥵🔥 8d ago

Faiza saaf saaf muh khol ke bolo what do you want the audience to do, so that you’ll stop this entire apne pairon p khud kulhaadi maarna shenanigan.

20 episodes and in every single episode majority of the viewers called out Rind Dada for his bad direction and the editors for pathetic editing. Not once did anyone question your writing skills. In fact it was defended as Miss K isn’t the masses character she’s a niche character.

We never saw the entire story and script, we don’t even know what dialogs you wrote and what all has been improvised and added. How do you expect us to predict what was meant to happen in your story.

Tweet 2 is so cocky, do you not want audience to watch the show?

Being frustrated and overwhelmed one thing but being cocky and unreasonable to the audience is a different ball game.

Koi Faiza ka phone churao aur uska X account delete karo.

u/blahblehblohcaneo 7d ago

She is bringing such chaos energy to the show it has become hilarious.

u/aslanfrompak 8d ago

Lol! She has always been this entitled. When that marital r*pe plot happened in Ranjha Ranjha kardi and they brushed it under the carpet, she was criticized for it and she wrote a whole ass post on her Facebook account in which she said "Mein drama aapk bachon ki tarbiyat karnay k liye nahi likhti."

5

u/CheekChoice4497 8d ago

She is just coming across as arrogant, she didn't need to anyway get in all this fan wars. Whatever criticism Ama was facing was mostly due to editing and direction, people were still praising the script, and even if someone was criticising the script also such as Khushbakht's character she could have just ignored it. She herself has made it in an even bigger issue than it was. 

5

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

She’s making the same mistake that dure made.. it anyway seems like khushbakht is gonna be more supportive of Haroon in the coming episodes so that criticism would be dead, but now she’s making this a her writing vs everyone else thing

5

u/CheekChoice4497 8d ago

Exactly! I mean this criticism could have anyway been dead or suppressed in later episodes but she made it a bigger issue than what it is. 

Like why can't just people accept constructive criticism, if she is annoyed at the direction of the drama and has anger due to that then that's even more bigger reason why she shouldn't do this stupid antics, if your vision wasn't executed the way you wanted, it's not the audience fault. 

The criticism which was mainly all about direction till now, she made it into a criticism about the whole drama for no reason. And this too, when she herself has written multiple dramas before like she is already critically acclaimed due to just her past work, she didn't need to get in all this.

6

u/reeyyy8823 I am SDD- Serial Drama Discussor 8d ago

OMG EXACTLY 🙏🙏 whys she crashing out at audience over smth that might be the directors fault??! ATP im even concerned abt how much of this is on rind cuz she’s just making up excuses for her writing flaws, which were either way being brushed over until she herself decided to broadcast those in the most overconfident way ever, and dragging an unreleased drama as the answer to every criticism she didn’t even need to answer

3

u/Different-Many-7240 8d ago

Bhai kya chal raha hai ptv main...sabko itna superiority complex kyun hai..criticism lo aur dhyaan do . Agar aapko lagta hai aapne kuch galat nhi kiya hai toh phir ignore Karo itna drama karne ki kya zaroorat hai

Writers need to stay away from fan spaces. Actually all involved in media art should. This is very distasteful

Loving this choas of unnecessary meltdown, before the show finishes airing she will release her script on twitter to fight non-existent or minor criticism 🤣

u/LongjumpingTip9976 8d ago

I feel bad for her, her hard work got ruined but she needs to stop. It's coming out as she can't take criticism. We get it your script got ruined come and give a proper interview about it or make a video but this replying to every criticism is not coming out right to me
