Brilliant direction,Khalid ahmed has translated the characters perfectly as written by Bee Gul. :k:
Re: Pehchan on A-Plus
I'm impressed that this drama has been reviewed by every single pakistani drama review site! So it's hard to miss and I watched the first 2 episodes, thoroughly enjoyed them! Loved the direction, it's got that old school charm to it. I'll watch the rest and leave my feedback here. Also marasim on a-plus got rave reviews! This channel is so underrated and they producing really good quality dramas.
Re: Pehchan on A-Plus
Pechaan has been a beautiful journey for the characters and viewers alike. I am thoroughly enjoying each frame of this masterpiece. Laila's character is super impressive. I hope she is able to provide hope and inspiration to other women stuck in similar situations.
Re: Pehchan on A-Plus
I’M A FAN! 
What a drama seriously. I cannot praise it enough! It’s too romani for words.
P.s. How terrific and genuine is Alishba Yousuf in it. Great acting.
P.s.2. And yes that’s French as Laila says it in episode 4. I keep repeating scenes because I don’t want to finish it too soon.
Can someone please suggest a name for that bachi?
I want a cafe like laila's.It's cozy,romantic,with hardly any customers and you get profit out of it.
Laila needs to have a friendly relationship with her mother like she did with her father.
Direction is praise worthy even little things like a broken wind chime when cuckoo broke the news of her relationship with mansoor to khurram and the shattered look on his face had an impact and enhanced the beauty of the scene.

^ I knnnnnnow. I love that cafe. Reminds me of cafe de hunza in karimabad, hunza. We used to hang out there past mid night. It was a bookstore and cafe. Most of us friends used to sit on the carpeted floor. Sometimes one of the kids who could play the guitar used to jam there. Gosh I miss hunza
Re: Pehchan on A-Plus
Dooree you’ve lived in Hunza? Man I envy you!!! 
That’s like my dream. :sigh:

Re: Pehchan on A-Plus
The writer of pehchan beegul commented on SZs review of the last episode. Thought I'd share:
Dear SZ and my darling viewers ..thank you..thank you..thank you…
Pehchan , Talkhiyan and many other such scripts are based on the close observation of behaviour. They are not mechanical constructions of infinitesimal thrills. They depend on intelligence and empathy to be appreciated. They also require acting of a precision not necessary in many mass entertainments. They require a director with a clear idea of complex purposes .They require subtleties of lighting and sound that create a self contained world. Most of all, they require sympathy. The director’s care for the characters and viewers to see them as individuals not genre emblems. They require to see them as individual viewers not “audience members”..that can be an intimate experience…My scripts are often called “adult scripts “ ,if that term hadn’t been devalued by the porn industry I had said yes they are adult scripts, they require an insight of an adult, adult enough to appreciate such work.;)

Re: Pehchan on A-Plus
Khalid Ahmed's (Director) comment on SZs review
Thank you SZ, and all the viewers, followers, commentators for your constant support, encouragement, appreciation and critique of Pehchan. Thank you for being with us all the way for without you it would have been a very lonesome journey——- lonesome and uphill and impossibly difficult.
I confess once again that when Bee Gul had sent me the first one or two episodes I had discouraged her from writing this serial. I had felt that, given the mood of the channels, a script of this nature was bound to crash on us. Not because it wasn’t good enough but because it was too good for our television industry, the way it stands today. And had it not been for the unflinching support of all of you and many other individuals from within and outside the industry whose opinions I value a million times more than the rating seekers who rule the channels, my prediction may have come ominously true.
I am happy that it happened. Happy despite the fact that it was not a commercial success and its airing was seriously resented by the marketing heads and channel owners. So much so that it has left a blot and a question mark upon mine and Bee Gul’s capability to deliver as far as tv drama is concerned. We are continuously made to stand in the dock for venturing upon something that in the channel lingo is derided as ‘arty’ and ‘experimental’(interestingly, in any other environment these would been considered terms of praise).
I deeply thank Nurul Huda Shah for her support and her bravado in owning Pehchan against all opposition. She made it possible. Let me once again thank Razi and Seema for their reckless decision to embark upon such a production. Let me thank all the cast, each one of you, for such brilliant work. Thank you Naved Malik and forgive my occasional impatience with your fastidiousness with lighting. You bring brilliant results. Thank you Zeeshan, my assistant. You took a lot upon your young shoulders.
Bee Gul you are the Best! Wish you were somewhere else and wrote under conditions that were more conducive to the caliber and style of your writing. I do not see our television industry extending its arms towards you for a long time to come. But I have faith in your pathaniat and therefore feel that you will somehow, in some form, continue to write the kind of stuff that is worthy of your sensitivity and creative powers.
Sadly I feel that the space for serials like Talkhiyan and Pehchan has now dwindled almost to being non-existent and in the coming years we are not going to see works of this style and nature on television any more . The trend is in the opposite direction. The ‘digest’ has won a resounding victory. Labbaik Ya Digest!
So true especially last lines DIGEST HAS WON!
