i am also an avid umera's fan, and except for haider's character i am pretty satisfied with everyones work. they are doing their level best to do the justice to Umera's magnum opus.
i totally agree. the characters so far have the same intensity and sensitivity as in the novel, its handled very well. and omg faisal qureishi is acting brilliantly here, i see him so clearly as arfeen from the novel, his scenes always make me bawl my eyes out!
