Fawad Khan, Sanam Baloch, Samira Fazal and Haissam Hussain are all back together to give us another super hit drama. There was so much hype regarding KPKPBT. Fawad and Sanam’s hit jodi, Samira Fazal’s amazing writing style and Haissam Hussain’s mature direction are all so highly regarded that this serial had high expectations before a promo was even aired. And I’m happy to say that the first episode has met these expectations with flying colors!
But the best part of this episode would have to be the dialogues. I don’t know what twists and turns this story has in place for us, but I can confidently say that Samira Fazal’s script won’t leave us disappointed.
Here’s the scenario that you get to see in most dramas nowadays; poor girl, sick of her lifestyle, lusting after money and going after the first rich guy she finds. But the difference between those dramas and KPKPBT is that here, the guy himself is running after money.
Oh wait, money wasn’t the only qualification. I believe the characteristics that Fawad’s character Mujtaba was looking for in a girl were:
- Has to have money
- Has to be a banker
- Has to live in Defence – Not only Defence, but from Phase 5, nothing less!
- Has to beautiful
- Has to have a foreign nationality
Only a girl with these 5 qualities is good enough for a “hero banda” like Mujtaba. I mean, the guy is best friends with Humayun Saeed for God’s sake! Bus awein toh ladkiyan khudkushi nahin karteen uss ke khatir! :P
Mujtaba is a dreamer. When he isn’t show maaring in front of his friends about his rich uncle in America, he’s busy dreaming about going there himself, and preferably marrying his rich, beautiful, foreign nationality holding cousin. But it’s still unclear about whether she is a banker or not. :P
And around the end of the episode, phase 1 of Mujtaba’s dream comes true. He gets his Visa, along with a ticket to America. And next episode the true story will begin as he begins his adventures there.
But wait. Sanam, Mikaal Zulfiqar and Ayesha Khan haven’t made their entry yet. In fact, Fawad is the only character from the main cast who has been shown in the first episode. But the 3 other main characters weren’t sorely missed. How could they be, when Fawad was there with his brilliant acting?
Personally, I’m waiting for Sanam and Ayesha’s entry. Two more amazing talents in this star-studded serial. Just one problem though. Why is Mikaal a main character? I probably shouldn’t be too hard yet as he hasn’t even made his entry. Let’s hope that some of the talent from all the other cast and crew will rub off on him!
There’s not much you can say about a serial in its first episode, but one thing can be said for sure. KPKPBT is sure to be a hit!
