Drama review

Parsa(hum tv)

Parsa is the Pakistani drama directed by siraj-ul-haque and produced by momina duraid. The drama is based on the novel “parsa” written by bushra rehman. The drama is about interfaith marriages and cultural issues. Drama revolves around a girl parsa who falls in love with a Christian (david) , who is also her family friend and her neighbor.

Parsa is a muslim girl. She has a good family friend next door, tina, joseph and their son david, they are Christians.parsa and david used to hangout with each other as they were good friends. Parsa’s parents wants her to get engaged to her cousin salman, who is quiet opposite to her as parsa is loud and rambunctious. Parsa only accepts as a choice of her parents otherwise she has no interest in him, but she realizes that salman needs her after the death of his mother. Meanwhile david tells parsa that he is in love with her and parsa starts loving him too. Parsa rejects him as there were cultural and religious differences but david for her converts himself to muslim. So they get married going against their parents. The ultimate story begins as parsa and david struggles to get their parents forgiveness and attempts to make their life for themselves despite of religious differences.

The overall acting was excellent, the characters were playing their role perfectly. Parsa did an excellent job as she was a tomboy first. Dressing was glamorous and decent and the overall representation of the characters were positive.

The set was huge, it was a house and the lightings were perfect at every shot/scene. Makeup was really nice according to the characters personality. Everyone looked elegant.

People found this drama really interesting and its demand was high.the drama was excellent but the thing that was bad in it was that david asked parsa not to bring her religion in every matter but why he said so if her was converted to islam. Otherwise the drama was really good, hats off to the actors. This drama is the true lesson for our generation that why should we obey our parents, they choose the right for us. They have portrayed this fact wonderfully.
