Dushman-e-Jaan

There is a reason why it is said that you should not make any hasty decisions when you are angry because what follows are serious consequences which you will end up regretting for the rest of your life.

This is exactly what happened with Hatim (Mohib Mirza) who, due to a misunderstanding, he decides to take extreme action towards his colleague, Ramsha, which led him to immense guilt and remorse towards himself.

Hatim, known to be hot headed, comes from a dysfunctional family and does not get along with his parents due to them neglecting him when he was a child due to their business. Due to this, his attitude is always negative which leads to him being disliked by Ramsha and always ends up with them clashing and having arguments in the office. However, eventually, they both end up having a change of heart.

Everything is going smoothly between the two and a lovely friendship is formed. Hatim also becomes cool-headed and more caring, however, due to Hatim overhearing a conversation between Ramsha and his mother, anger starts boiling inside of him which leads him to take a hasty decision and ends up changing his life and Ramsha's family's life forever.

This drama has got to be my most favourite Pakistani drama of 2020 so far. Although it has been mentioned by Mohib Mirza in an interview, that this drama was actually shot in 2018 but for some reason, they decided to show it on TV this year, however, for me it is still a 2020 drama and one of the best so far.

Mohib Mirza has always been one of my favourite actors in dramas but he doesn't come in a lot of dramas. His acting is always on point and for me, Hatim's character could not have been portrayed by anyone else. He has got to be my most favourite character that Mohib has played out of all the dramas I've seen of his.

Tooba Siddiqui, although was only in there for a couple of episodes, really left a mark for herself in this drama. I loved how she was shown to be a middle class girl but at the same time very independent, strong headed and the head of the house in a way as she was taking responsibility to look after her elderly disabled father an ill younger brother and her sister Rubab (Madiha Imam).

I loved Hatim's mother's character here. You don't really see a lot of mothers like this in Pakistani dramas who are business women, independent and strong minded who can support her children without making things worse. Saba Hameed was perfect for this character and the way she was shown to be extremely supportive towards her son's problems as well as supportive towards her daughter in law was heartwarming to see.

I personally found it quite cool to see how the mother in law was a strong independent working woman and the daughter in law was a homemaker who enjoyed doing the house work. The comparison and mixture of the two women was quite interesting to see on screen.

Apart from the main plot, there were also subplots included aswell which were quite interesting to see and had different lessons taught to viewers in all of them.

Overall the performance of everyone was amazing, especially Mohib Mirza's and his mother and I really hope Mohib starts coming in more dramas in the near future.
