ISPR’s drama series on true stories of brave Pakistanis from Friday

This series is amazing and will surely win International awards for ISPR
 
. . .
Saw It. A very moving story full of courage and sacrifice. The end was was the most moving when the Shaheed's son joins Pakistan Army.

But as feared, very low production values and weak script. Too much time was given to the setup to the story.

And the the advert breaks!!!!! PTV and ISPR should find a way around this for this series -- it just breaks the momentum of the build up.

But this story must be told -- a good start can be made even better.

One of the producers is an uncouth character.. came off as a fraud to me.. the kind you "feel" is messed up.
Is rich..or behaves rich through fraud.. house lined with mercs..
E250, C300 and a S-500....
has guns starting from the glock to the barret .50 cal.
and smokes havanas.. and is tall..
he is the guy that I pointed out in the clip..(wants to act too)..

You can tell when a guy in Pakistan goes off on his phone :
"thats great hon.. I am soo proud of you sweetheart.. honey ill be home soon"..

Also.. now that filming is done..and my father is asking for some monetary reimbursement for his work..the guy doesn't answer the phone or return messages..


Did see babur Kiyani.. supposedly related to the chief.. if he is.. my dad told me so..although he looked nothing like an army officer...
