Mixed Reactions as “Ishq Murshid” Finale Leaves Fans Divided

The highly-anticipated finale of the hit drama serial “Ishq Murshid” aired its last episode on Sunday, May 5th, 2024, eliciting both delight and disappointment among viewers due to the programming strategy employed.

The episode, scheduled for a 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm slot, began with an hour-long recap of previous episodes, a decision that drew criticism from many loyal fans eagerly awaiting the culmination of the gripping storyline.

Produced by Moomal Productions and MD Productions, directed by Farooq Rind, and scripted by Abdul Khaliq Khan, “Ishq Murshid” had captivated audiences with its stellar performances and compelling narrative, featuring Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem in leading roles.

While the final episode received praise for its conclusion and the actors’ remarkable performances, fans took to social media platforms to express their discontent with the prolonged recap session.

“It feels like a betrayal to have to sit through an hour of recap just to watch the finale,” lamented one fan on Twitter, echoing the sentiments of many others who shared similar frustrations.

Some viewers drew comparisons to other popular dramas, accusing “Ishq Murshid” of mimicking successful formulas without achieving the same impact. “They followed in the footsteps of ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho,’ but that drama was on a different level,” remarked a disgruntled viewer.

The decision to delay the climax of “Ishq Murshid” with an extended recap left fans feeling deceived and agitated, with many expressing their disappointment at what they perceived as a missed opportunity to deliver a seamless viewing experience.
