Mere Paas Tum Ho – Synopsis
Mere Paas Tum Ho is a highly popular drama series starring Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan, and Adnan Siddiqui in lead roles. It went on air in August 2019 and since then it has been in the limelight due to its impressive star cast and promos. Director Nadeem Baig and Writer Khalil ur Rehman have made their best efforts in unconventionally portraying a conventional story. However, it miserably fails in convincing people at some stages.
The storyline and the plot are old but showcased with the newness of strong dialogues and brilliant performances by the lead actors including the very cute child actor Shees Sajji Gul.
Mere Paas Tum Ho – Plot

Rating and Verdict
I will rate Mere Paas Tum Ho 8.5 out of 10 for power-packed performances, brilliant execution of the characters, high voltage drama, and great music. However, the Pakistani dramas are stereotyped and follow the male-dominant plots. The climax could have been much better and positive. It leaves the audience with a feeling of disappointment and dissatisfaction. Yet, it succeeds in keeping the audience glued till the end and creates a sense of excitement and emotional storm within.
