I wish Mahi’s character was explored a bit more, some monologues, some thoughts that ran through her mind – usually it was always Mahi giving replies to Sahiba and being in denial of her love for Farhad. Iqra Aziz has never looked this stunning in any of her dramas before. Great Performancesįeroze Khan definitely acted well as Farhad and it won’t be wrong to say that he definitely fit the character seamlessly. Also, because it was shown in such a simpler manner, the essence of the story and the soulfulness of the characters was far more visible than Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3. The production value was definitely visible in every single frame but I feel stories like these need to be told in a simplified manner – exactly how Khuda Aur Mohabbat 1 was executed. The director definitely deserves credit for making Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 larger than life visually and creating that ambiance. His love for her never really turned into the love of God or anything like that. He was still very much in love with Mahi and she was still very much the center of his attention. Some conversations that he had with the Dervish seemed more like lectures with Dervish just giving him an insight into what the spiritual journey is but Farhad on his own never truly walked on that path.
Even now when the drama has ended I am wondering what was it that made Farhad’s journey spiritual? It was absolutely not explored. There should’ve been some depth in the characters and some layers to them, but sadly that didn’t turn out to be the case. Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 was a pretty straightforward story. They have always left a window open for what-ifs & why nots! They have been winging it and not thinking much about how things should be made convincing or at least logical. Why wasn’t Dilawar or Sikandar doing anything to take him to the hospital and just letting him suffer and succumb to the wounds? Once again, the way things turned out was a bit unconvincing but then this is exactly how most of the situations in this drama have been. Well, Mahi and Farhad finally met and all this while, I was wondering why wasn’t Dilawar doing anything – like calling Farhad’s family because he had actually met Farhad’s brother in the past. Well, I also feel a part of him knew that Mahi will be fine because she had Jageerdarni’s support but I am glad he took his decision on his own and didn’t allow his son to influence any of it. So, Kazim Shah let Mahi go but on his own terms where he wanted to cut ties with her. They should’ve definitely worded this conversation a bit better for sure! Those dialogues were distasteful and although they just wanted to show the kind of mindset men belonging to such social setting may have in general, these dialogues sounded more like a reinforcement. Although they didn’t turn it into the honor killing, which I am glad about, all the things that Nazim said about Mahi & women, in general, suggested just that. However, I am glad that in the end, he wasn’t the one who shot Mahi because of the way he left silently, I thought Mahi would die after getting shot by her brother. Nazim Shah did not leave any stone unturned to show how cruel he was. There is no denying that Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 definitely got a lot of viewership but it fails to be the kind of story like how Khuda Aur Mohabbat 1 was, which is still remembered to this day! The Tragic End This is exactly what took away from Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 and despite being such a big-budgeted, technically well-directed drama, it didn’t turn out to be an unforgettable one. This clearly shows that the pace was kept slow and a lot of dragging had to be resorted to in order to fulfill the desired number. It is unfair towards the writer that when he pens down a 22 episode script, the channel and the producers decide to turn it into a 39 episode drama. I do understand the perspective of the writer Hashim Nadeem but it is unfortunate that while being elaborated by Syed Wajahat Hussain, the essence of the story, as well as the soul of the characters, got lost. Now that this drama has ended, I still feel the unnecessary dragging was what made this drama quite taxing to watch. Ohkay so, finally Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 came to an end with a very predictable ending.
