Bismil, a popular drama on ARY Digital, is earning widespread praise for its compelling storyline and talented cast. Written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Aehsun Talish, the show is produced by Idream Entertainment.
The story revolves around Tauqeer Taseer, who falls in love with and marries a greedy girl.
The cast includes big names like Nauman Ijaz, Savera Nadeem, Hareem Farooq, Saad Qureshi, Behroze Sabzwari, Shaheen Khan, and Adnan Jillani.
Yesterday, the highly anticipated 30th episode aired, depicting Moosa’s tragic suicide after being rejected by his fiancée Momal. The heartbreaking scene where Moosa shot himself in his room left fans in tears. The show’s creators could have shown a suicide attempt without Moosa dying, many fans opined.
I believe Tauqeer is partly responsible for Moosa’s suicide because he kept distancing himself from his son, despite Moosa’s efforts to connect. After Momal’s rejection, Moosa lost all hope.
Men who marry at an older age should realize the emotional and mental stress their children might face due to their actions. Momal’s parents and Masooma also made things worse for Moosa. I cried during all the scenes with Reham, beautifully portrayed by Savera Nadeem. The performances of Saad Qureshi, Savera Nadeem, and Nauman Ijaz in the emotional sequences were outstanding.
Additionally, viewers were particularly captivated by the pairing of Hareem Farooq and Nauman Ijaz, despite the storyline not being exceptionally unique. The drama kept everyone’s attention because of the anticipation about Tauqeer’s decisions and their impact on his family. It is worth noting that Tauqeer’s family was a happy one, and there seemed to be no need for him to marry again, especially knowing how sensitive his son was. Moosa had even warned that he would shoot himself if such a thing happened.
Masooma’s character, portrayed as a gold digger, added to the drama’s complexity, as she did not truly love Tauqeer. The depiction of suicide without a trigger warning was another point of concern for the viewers, considering the drama airs at 8 PM when many viewers are watching. The scene where Moosa shot himself and the subsequent display of blood were particularly sensitive.
Reflecting on Moosa’s fiancée, I noted that her father made the right decision by not marrying her to Moosa, as his sensitivity would have made a life together challenging. The most sympathy was expressed for Reham, who lost both her son and husband due to Tauqeer’s poor decision-making.
I also noticed some editing inconsistencies, particularly during the scene when Masooma arrives at Moosa’s funeral. She appeared overly dressed and made-up initially, but shortly after, her dupatta appeared and her makeup vanished.
Additionally, she was shown to be highly traumatized, even though she had previously stated that if there was one death in their family, there would be another on the other side as well. This seemed to be an attempt by the writers to show her as empathetic, which didn’t quite fit her character.
In conclusion, while Bismil captured the audience with its strong performances and emotional depth, it also sparked discussions about sensitive issues and the consequences of impulsive decisions.
