Netizens React To First Episode of ‘Badshah Begum’

Badshah Begum

So how many of you had been anxiously awaiting for Badshah Begum to hit screens? Now how many of you feel the drama serial lived up to the hype?

The drama serial brings together mystery, politics, and suspense. Yet, is that all Netizens needs to dub this a winner?

Many Twitteratti are loving Farhaan Saeed’s ‘Pir Shahzeb’. The fact that this character is all grey rather than black or white is the biggest part of it’s appeal.

“Pir Shahzaib is a character that grows on you without warning even when their actions are sometimes questionable & eventually makes you cry for them. Its evident from today’s episode that he has a heart he wants to guard.”

 

One user believes this drama should be on Netflix. Truth is this storyline was supposed to developed into a web series. However, Hum TV turned it into a television drama.

 

Especially with the plotlines we see.

 

Not to mention the heavy dialogues.

Not everyone felt that this was an original work or art though. Some felt, it was a Western knock-off.

At least it’s still a break from the usual saas-bahu dramas we’re accustomed to seeing. Or is it just another knock-off.

 

Many felt, the drama serial doesn’t live up to the hype.
