Nashtar is the latest Pakistani drama series airing on Geo TV. It comes from the makers of hits like Deewangi and Tere Bin and is directed by Siraj-ul-Haq and written by Maha Malik, with Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi serving as producers. The plot revolves around Dawood, a wealthy and hot-tempered businessman who seeks revenge against a young woman, Bareera, after she publicly humiliates him at an event. The drama is garnering 6 million plus views in a day.
So far, Geo TV has aired three episodes of the series. In the initial episodes, the female lead, Bareera (played by Anmol Baloch), publicly insulted Dawood (played by Danish Taimoor)—a scene that garnered significant viewership and attention. In Episode 3, which aired last night, Danish Taimoor stepped into his signature revengeful role, inviting Bareera over only to humiliate her and take revenge. Watch the viral scene from Nashtar:
Drama viewers are enraged at Danish Taimoor for once again signing up for a similar revengeful plot, portraying a love-hate relationship between the main leads. One viewer wrote, “They are glorifying the typical illiteracy in dramas, where men overreact in front of women.” Another commented, “Repetitive and monotonous script, acting, and drama.” Another asked, “Why are Pakistani drama writers so obsessed with copying dark romance and fantasy books?” One viewer wrote, “That’s why I don’t like Danish. He’s the same arrogant character with his female co-stars in every show.” Another commented, “This is in no way romantic; it’s abusive.” Read the comments here:
