Behroopia - A New Faysal Quraishi Psychological Thriller? 😮
Dissociative identity disorder (DID), more commonly know as multiple personality disorder, is one of those mental illnesses that have been used a lot in the horror/thriller genre because of obvious reasons. E.g. Split, Shutter Island, Hide and Seek etc. (Mostly Hollywood)
So when I saw the teasers of this show, I was cautiously optimistic BUT now after having watched the first 2 episodes... not so much...
My gripe with this kind of genres being shown on Pakistani TV is the treatment, you have a good premise, good actors, good ‘sets’ but WHY use the same old “larki ki shaadi”, “plotting phupho” tropes?
Let’s fully immerse in the thriller genre! Introduce COMPLEX characters. Not just one main guy as the interesting, complicated one because it falls apart when the surrounding characters are ordinary and soapy.
Stick to one genre, try to leave the soapiness out! Please!
However, I will still watch it to see where it goes because I do see potential in this project (at least this is something different than the countless dramas that are on right now, which are described as “ghar-ghar-ki-kahani”) although someone PLEASE make the phupho character go away!
What did you think of this drama so far? Do you agree or disagree with this short review? Please comment and let us know! 🤗
