Poorly directed it just drags and draaaaags. Some of the scenes reminded me of famous Hollywood movies and I was not expecting plagiarism from Mehreen. I have seen that shot in a Hollywood movie when Ramchand puts a bug in the matchbox. Also that sex scene in beginning was totally unnecessary ( Also have http://www.pakpositive.com/opinion/2008/11/ramchand-pakistani-disappointing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (pakpositive)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9869837.post-4123078395877481969Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:37:00 +00002008-11-13T05:40:57.324+05:00As an avid watcher of Pakistani dramas in the past all I can say now about dramas being shown on channels these days: they are crap!
