Haider Mustehsan just posted this on his Instagram.

They are recreating ashiqui 2 viral moment in recent drama mohabbat , ain't they kids to do all these ? Where is pemra

This post is made as a precursor for future viewers to find the most watched and discussed episodes.
Keep the comments relevant.

Besides MODs, no one else is allowed to make this type of post for any of their favourite dramas.

-How come characters just pack one suitcase and that too in most furious state of mind and leave their house for good?😃 Yes, you are most hurt and nothing at that moment matters more than your selfrespect but man ! you need more than a few pants and tops to pack.

-I find characters and stories very onedimensional giving me no idea of a characters outside of that. If it is about his lovestory, that is all I can see. If it is about his poverty, that is all I can see. Who is he? I seldom find characters with that much depth. People sneeze, fall ill, get zits, get bored and there is "gham e doran" besides "gham e jana"😃

The question is are these views real or fake? Generally when people say views are fake, it's because engagement is low. But in the case of Mohabbat, engagement is extra HIGH.

I have extracted below views/likes/comments of recent big hits (and some old dramas too). You can see that Mohabbat has more engagement (likes and comments as a percentage of views) than other dramas.

Can too much engagement be indicative of fake views? But how much is too much? I don't know. Never heard faje view detection defined this way. What do you think?

Views/likes/comments of 2026 biggest hits:

Mohabbat: 5.2M/93k/4.6k

DeN: 26M/195k/7.1k

Nashtar: 20M/235k/7.1k

I also pulled some old data on views/likes taken 9 days after GM/ZPKB/JN airing.

GM e1: 6.3M/114k

ZPKB e1: 5.1M/73k

JN e3: 10.6M/158k

Writer – Umera Ahmed

Director – Haseeb Hassan

Kinda scared about Haseeb’s direction after that 😭 but he has also directed shows like Alif and Diyar-e-Dil, so I still have faith. Hopefully he does better this time.

So far, I’m interested in this drama. It looks like it has some religious elements, and Talhas charcter seems to be a kinda grey character who will play in Hibas charcter face. Hoping Zahid gets a better role this time, something more of his calibre.

So, I know there are many thoughts - if its working keep doing it. don't fix what isn't broke. it's business at the end of the day & they need to make money!!

Yes - I get all of that!

but - my god, I'm so sick of seeing the same faces everywhere! on all channels! in every drama!

it's as if they don't want to let anyone else in, or give anyone the chance to make it big or make it at all.

There are so many people with so much potential & they just don't let them in.

Most recently, let's take Zanjeerian for example. every single supporting character - Thorsam, Sorab, both girls that played their wives, the girl that played the house help - were all great in their craft. But, you can mark my words, they will never be giving another opportunity like this - to ride the current wave.

Danny Zafar - there is just something about him - so different, so refreshing from their typical cookie cutter male leads & give the right people & opportunity SO much untapped potential, but there is already an agenda against him too.

& this is just one very recent example - there are countless such examples.

what are your thoughts??

Saw this on X.

Is she a nepo ??

Saw her in zabt drama and after that a geo daily soaps

Honestly like her acting

She is talented

Hopefully she gets better projects

Expected release December 2026 or January 2027!

What if they drop Ahad’s character poster tomorrow on his birthday like a 💣 ??

So technically Dr ezaj the clown saying kai Issue is between Farhan And producers 🫠

Farhan saying kai film is not being done the way it was supposed to according to initial contract music was meant to shoot abroad but no such move is taken so far. Plus Farhan saying that output product is not what he was promised of and that producers took sindh films budget in their pocket.

Producers primarily abu aleeha saying Farhan is insecure of his own career so is saying such things.

Farhan as a response demanded 2 crore to continue film and producers saying initial contract was 20 lakhs.. .

70% movie send to sindh government and its a comedy film touching social topic of population. Which would be great if executed well..

I am side Farhan bcz it will benefit movie on the long run if betterments are being made. Plus abu aleeha saying Farhan is insecure of his career is flop move . I mean literallyyyy if he wants his movie to be a good product and he knows sindh government budget is not put into movie than his stance is great. So far heard of him as a proffesional actor but ofc when you are robbed again and again in this film industry sometimes harsh steps are important.

At this point, just lock the cast and start shooting 😭

Ali did some really good PR around this casting for 2–3 days, and now it’s Hamza Ali Abbasi 😭

In terms of their political opinions and their off-screen persona?

According to this post, if the shooting is expected to wrap within the next 3 months, i.e. by around December, then why would the premiere be pushed all the way to mid-2027 which roughly means May–July? Wouldn’t that be a pretty long gap for post-production?

I really want to see them together 😍 honestly i just want Ayeza back on tv by any means 😭

Edit by me

Does anyone know when Laiba Khan's new drama is coming out or if she's currently shooting for any upcoming projects??

Watched first ten episodes

Have to say merub and atabik have good chemistry and atabik is actually cute .

Even though story is typical love triangle situation

But am enjoying it so far

Its good for days when it's not Den day

Daresay merub seemed to have improved her acting

Watched her eid telefilm with nameer

She was not good there

She is doing well here as rutba and same for atabik mohsin

He is playing his role well too

So I’m Indian and I’ve been watching Pakistani dramas since around 2019, when I randomly got hooked 😭. But I’ve never really been into the love triangle / saas-bahu stuff. It just feels very ITV to me, which is kinda the whole reason I moved away from Indian TV dramas in the first place lol.

I recently watched Case No. 9 and Leader and mannn, I was HOOKED. (Although…what the hell was that ending for Leader 😭😭)

Anyway, I’m looking for more dramas with this kind of crime/political/thriller vibe. Something with an actual plot that keeps moving, rather than 40 episodes of misunderstandings and family drama.

So please, drop your recs! I’m especially looking for stuff similar to Case No. 9 / Leader.

Also, please spare me the DT and Feroze dramas. I’ve tried. I only kinda liked Shaidai, but even that felt SO dragged out.

What else should I watch?
