Why Are Drama Fans Hating on Jalan? [Video]

Here we go again.

Jalan

Recently ARY Digital released the teaser for their new drama serial Jalan‘. The Jalan teasers just hit us with a wave of deja vu. For good reason too.

The storyline follows two sisters played by Minal Khan (Nisha) and Areeba Habib (Misha). Based on the teasers, it’s obvious that Nisha is infatuated with Misha’s husband, Hassan (Emmad Irfani). In the name of love, she forgets what is morally right. Who cares about what’s fair anyways.

If you think this sounds like the plot to Khamooshi, you may be right. Maybe Misha might put up more of a fight for her husband. Hassan. Or maybe not.

Soon enough Nisha’s not so subtle tactics give it away, and her sister is heartbroken over this betrayal. Even her family disowns her.

As we see from the teasers, Nisha’s infatuation really started after Misha got married. Prior to that, she was happy with her own fiance ‘Ahmer’.

Initially, it is unclear whether Hassan led Nisha on or this is all her own doing. It’s obvious she’s wooing him and he seems to go along with it.

Eventually, Nisha crosses all lines but Hassan seems comfortable rocking in two boats.

Nisha, on the other hand, is tired of being the other woman and asks Hassan to pick a boat. Will Misha and Hassan reconcile or is this really the end as we saw in Yahan Piyar Nahi Hai?

To say the least ‘Jalan‘ is an example of a rundown storyline that doesn’t offer much. The storyline and theme is clear, the best they can do is blow us away with acting and direction, but it’s the same old tale.
