Nauroz finally shows social media being used for positive and constructive things as well, but was that enough and was it executed the right way? Rishtina wants to influence people through her storytelling. Can the drama justify making Rustom a hero?
Social Media Positives
While we appreciate the drama showing the positive side of social media as well, it does become a bit preachy at many points. Also, it feels that more than representing all influencers, this positive initiative is coming mainly from Rishtina alone in isolation and not representative of other influencers.
This positive attempt is further compromised by the fact that her friend Hira is not at all influenced or changed by Rishtina’s positivity. While Rishtina is trying to change things, she is eating something or drinking a milkshake, and not really invested or influenced by the positive energy stemming from Rishtina. A noticeable growth (even if a slight one), or journey in her character arc would make this story more interesting and Hira’s character more relatable.
Does Rustom Deserve Our Sympathy
Rustom saves Rishtina by murdering his boss. Do people like Rustom deserve a second chance when they consciously try to make amends or change? But then maybe, the entire conversation towards the end could have been skipped, since it seems to give a reasoning or justification for Rustom being who he is right now?
Nauroz shows the negative impact social media has on actors and their mental health as well as the pressures they face. Shayan represents that part of the industry that refuses to bow down to compromised content and finds his own way of doing things. Will Rishtina’s dada reach her now?
