Fans were eagerly anticipating the release of the Mere Humsafar film, and many have expressed their admiration.
However, some viewers have also requested a second season of the drama.
A user demanded: “What about season two? We need to know what happens after.”
Others have expressed reservations about the suitability of ‘Saas-Bahu’ storylines for film adaptations, citing a lack of interest in such content.
One user noted: “Dramas and films are very different. This will be a below-average movie even if it was an above-average drama.”
Another said: “A film where Saas and Bahu are having problems? Not interested.”
One wrote: “I wish they would have worked on the sequel instead of giving us a film.”
However, many netizens are singing praises of the film, claiming it was a very good adaptation.
A user wrote: “I and my whole family were eagerly awaiting the opportunity to relive our favourite moments from the drama in a new and innovative way.”
Another added:
“I watched the drama but it was so much different to watch it like a movie.”
One said: “Thanks for refreshing the memories. You have given us one more chance to see our Farhan Saeed.”
Another commented: “Hania is the perfect ying to Farhan’s yang onscreen!! Please somebody cast them together again! They are magic!”
