Maat - A lost cause

Friday, November 4, 2011 1:40 AM Posted by Black Scorpion
Hum TV has played a big role in the revival of TV dramas. It has been showing high entertainment value dramas which are well written, acted and directed.

Now a days, TV Drama serial MAAT is being aired. It has been directed by Amna Nawaz Khan and written by Umera Ahmed. It is an extremely well directed play and all the actors have been utilized to their full potential. the story is great and has a good twists. However, one of the crucial mistake that has been made is that the title track's video gives away the whole story. It is also aired at the beginning of every episode. One of the main ingredients for the success of any play/movie etc is the element of suspense or surprise for the viewers. That keeps them hooked to the television and keep em asking for more. That element of surprise is lost by the title track's video. The idea of the promo is to generate the interest of the viewer by providing enough information without giving away the story. The promo here fails to do that. For example, the wedding night scene is shown between the two main characters of the play. That is the main twist of the story which is given away from the very first episode because of the title track's video.

I would still recommend the stakeholders to edit that video to save the rest of the episodes which still remain to be aired.
