"Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum"- some lesson to learn

After my graduation, I started watching drama series. At the beginning, I watched C-dramas, then K-dramas. I still prefer both C-dramas and K-dramas, and I have a long list of those to watch. I don’t watch Pakistani dramas normally, but sometimes some clips of Pakistani dramas catch my attention easily, and in recent days I have watched a few Pakistani dramas. Although I watch many dramas, I only write or share about those dramas that seem interesting to me. Recently, I have finished watching a Pakistani drama named “Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.”

I am not going to give any spoilers of the drama, and so I don’t need to worry because I am just going to share what I realized from the drama. It can be said to be a drama review from one perspective.

Mustafa, the lead character, used to be a chill-minded person who only knew how to enjoy life, whereas his elder brother is good to him in various aspects, especially from the perspective of education and responsibility. As the elder brother of Mustafa was a responsible person, his parents were proud of him. In this drama it was clearly shown that the elder brother of Mustafa received more privileges compared to him. Parents had high hopes for the elder son, but they somehow understood the potential of the little one and ignored his capabilities, and used to taunt him for being incapable. The drama showed how parents create differences between their own children. It is partiality, and such a thing can also be seen in real life.

The elder brother of Mustafa was indeed a talented and responsible one, but at the same time, he was also greedy. He even goes for extra length for his greediness, and even for that he cancelled his marriage with the lead actress without considering the consequences and the reputation of both families, as it was cancelled just a few days ago before the marriage date fixed. For money he married another woman. It cost him a price, and the prize was his freedom. Not only that, but he also lost his dignity and respect, and I felt like he was just like a dog who obeys the orders of his owner even if he was intelligent and arrogant. The ending of his was not good, and it’s natural in my opinion.

Mustafa’s family was homeless to him and never trusted him to do something big. They used to think Mustafa was useless and nothing could happen to him, but Mustafa’s wife realized that he was not useless, and he had the talent to do something. She encouraged Mustafa to do something to earn at least for her reputation, and Mustafa tried for his wife. This is something that should be received from his family, which he didn’t receive. If his parents encouraged him to do better rather than calling him a loser and comparing him with his elder brother, he might do better from the early stage. His wife’s support showed that little encouragement or little support can make one person capable and responsible. Such kinds of people need little support to move forward in life.

After hitting rock bottom, Mustafa became desperate about how to make money because he realized that money is everything. He figured out that without money nobody respects him nor his wife. His wife mistreated him because he was not capable enough and even dared to kick him out from home and do so many other things. If he had money, nothing like that would happen. So, his desperation was somehow logical, but he became a different person to make it happen. He lost himself, and he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and as a father of an upcoming baby. Maybe because of its consequences or maybe because of fate, he lost his upcoming baby. On the way to making money, he forgot why he was desperate to make money. He forgot the true purpose of it, which was his wife and his upcoming baby. Maybe his desperation to chase money made him mad, and he realized he was paying a heavy price.
