In less than three days we'll finally get to see Bashar Momin! Much has been speculated about this series – big budget, grand scale, great production values, a dapper leading man, and above all it's export to Indian shores and television sets (and believe me we need a good story on Indian TV!).
You must wonder why I'm doing a preview? Well I do this for two reasons. First, as a space for us all to share what we think might happen or what we hope we'll see. Discussions, I find, are always more productive when we can see how much we've evolved talking about certain themes. And if there's one thing we can all agree on dramas certainly make us think. Don't believe me, check out our Radio Show! Second, I just want to give you all a DP Preview. Wondering what that is? Read on.
Now I don't know much about Bashar Momin. The story has been kept strictly under wraps. The cast has been relatively hush-hush about their riles. Even the executives, those all deciding men in suits and ties, have kept a low profile (as much as they hate too). So going in I wonder what I've signed up for.
What's with Sami and the tears? The production values – sets, cosmos, makeup, art design, camera-work – seem to be stellar. I couldn't help but think this might be a Pakistani version of the The Godfather, all dark and brooding but I'm not here to compare and contrast rather I'd like to appreciate Bashar Momin for what it is.
