I completely agree with you! But if you have seen Baber Javed’s other work (which sadly I have) comparing him to his own work, this was more “normal” and “hatke” from him (lol) Thankfully he had good actors on his side.
I do agree that Mehreen should so some coaching sessions for wannabe directors. It would help us, the viewers, out immensely 
Unfortunately none of the wannabe directors would accept the fact that they really can’t direct.
