So, Hum TV, one of my favourite local channels, brings to its audience yet another venture “Choti si Ghalat Fehmi”. The serial is based on a simple yet menacing habit of suspecting on and not communicating properly with the your loved ones. It is said to highlight how a small misunderstanding and lack of trust between spouses can lead to great disasters. Such an atrocious habit does not only have devastating effects on the people involved, but also on their children as the tension, whether unspoken or in the form of abuse and fights, disturbs the little ones far more and before than anyone else. 

The happy couple, Abrar and Afroze with their 10 year old

The viewers are let into the lives of a happily married couple Abrar and Afroze, living peacefully with their 10-year-old daughter until Afroze’s friend Sahila, comes into the picture, someone who I personally feel is a bored, little minded and fond of gossiping woman. She believes that all men are treacherous and Abrar is no exception and places a bet with her friend to lure her husband towards her. Afroze, who has blind faith on her husband's love and loyalty accepts the bet. Sahila tricks Abrar into believing that she has brain tumor to get his sympathy. As he has no idea of her bet, starts taking take of her needs, resulting in Afroze to suspect all sorts of things and doubting her husband's character.

The pretext of the serial feels like the one we have watched over a hundred times. But that has never stopped good work to shine through. A good, collective team effort goes into making something worth remembering out of something too ordinary. For the same to happen here, the dialogues, scene distribution and performances of the cast will make all the difference. Since we all know pretty much everything that is going to happen, the cast needs to bring its A game to make us want to watch it still and a good scene distribution and direction will over shadow the predictable nature of the story.

We will also see some definite good work and twists, thanks to minor characters played by Hisbani and Nimra Khan. Though the story is at risk of getting monotonous, but there are some good actors appearing in the serial. If the team, including the writer and director, plays it right, the serial might still come out better than expected. Here's wishing the team of CSG best of luck and a good viewership! xx
