Humraaz, the highly anticipated drama airing on Geo TV, promised high-stakes suspense and emotional depth. Directed by the acclaimed Farooq Rind—known for his blockbuster drama Ishq Murshid—and produced by the power duo Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi under the 7th Sky Entertainment banner, expectations were sky-high. Add to that a star-studded cast featuring Ayeza Khan, Feroze Khan, Zahid Ahmed, and Amna Ilyas, and you have all the makings of a hit.
However, despite the hype and stellar ensemble, Humraaz Drama is currently under fire for its disappointing storyline and noticeable narrative flaws. As the drama reaches its ninth episode, viewers have taken to social media to express their frustrations.
What’s the Plot of Humraaz Drama So Far?
At the heart of Humraaz Drama is a suspense-laden murder mystery. Ayeza Khan plays Sara, a central character being investigated for the alleged murder of Faraz, portrayed as Saim’s (Feroze Khan) elder brother. The investigation is riddled with inconsistencies, and instead of building suspense, the poorly executed crime angle has confused and irritated many fans.
From courtroom blunders to unconvincing police procedures, the storytelling has raised more questions than answers. The show attempts to weave a complex plot, but lacks the structure and research needed to make it believable.
Why Viewers Are Disappointed With Humraaz Drama
Fans of Pakistani dramas are known for their sharp observation and high standards—and they haven’t held back in criticizing Humraaz Drama. Here are the most common concerns raised:
1. Weak Writing and Logical Inconsistencies
The storyline has been called out for being unrealistic and lazy. One fan bluntly said, “How stupid is the story? Just based on similar names, they’ve created a crime scenario where even the police are shown as clueless.” Many felt the script lacked proper research and understanding of investigative procedures.
2. Poor Execution of the Crime Track
For a murder mystery to be engaging, details matter. However, in Humraaz Drama, even basic crime investigation elements—like visiting the crime scene or the university in question—are missing. This has left fans feeling insulted by the lack of depth and realism.
3. Characters Not Living Up to Their Potential
Despite having big names like Ayeza Khan and Feroze Khan, fans feel their characters are being misused. Ayeza’s portrayal of an “innocent girl” lacks nuance, while Feroze’s overly negative role feels one-dimensional.
Adding to the frustration is the character of Samiya and the confusing angle of Sara 2’s family, which many agree only weakens the plot. One comment read, “They wasted Laiba Khan and added unnecessary characters that add no value to the story.”
Missed Opportunity Despite a Star Cast
Humraaz Drama could have been a masterpiece. With a compelling cast, top-tier production, and a promising director, the pieces were all there. But a strong cast can’t fix a weak script. The drama’s failure to build logical suspense and emotional engagement is costing it dearly in ratings and public opinion.
Many feel betrayed by the lack of substance in the story and believe the drama has wasted the potential of its actors. Another viewer stated, “Even emotional tracks like Saim’s heartbreak lack logic, background, and depth.”
Can Humraaz Drama Still Redeem Itself?
There’s still time for the makers of Humraaz Drama to turn things around. If the writing team focuses on tightening the narrative, trimming unnecessary characters, and adding believable plot developments, the drama might reclaim audience trust.
For now, however, it remains a prime example of how even a high-budget, well-cast drama can fall flat without thoughtful storytelling.
Final Thoughts
Humraaz Drama serves as a reminder that no matter how grand the production, success ultimately depends on good writing. Audiences today demand more than star power—they want logic, depth, and emotional truth. Let’s hope the creators are listening.
