How similarities between two plays can keep audiences hooked







Karadayi and Kaala Paisa Pyar hooked its viewers to their televisons and proved to be the biggest successes of Turkey to date. Karadayi came to Pakistan and left the viewers in tears of joy after its 1st season which aired on Urdu1. The most handsome Mahir and the mesmerizing beauty Feride looted the hearts of many in Pakistan. As fate was still deciding the 2nd season of Karadayi, the producers commenced the 1st season of Kaala Paisa Pyar which is with no doubt similar to the all famous Karadayi.

1.    Same Writers

Do you know that the writers who penned the story of these two dramas are the same? Yes they are, Eylem Canbolat and Sema Ergenekon. Karadayi won all the awards in all nominations whether it is for The Best Direction, The Best Scenario, The Best Period Drama, or any other individual award. The awards winning story of Karadayi led them to inscribe a story quite similar to it. 



2.    The Male Protagonists 

Doesn’t Omer remind you of “The Uncle in Black”? Every time Omer fights a person it seems as if he’s been trained by our super strong Mahir. We see the same aggressiveness in his attitude as well. Mahir could fight anyone who spoke nasty about his father and Omer following Mahir’s footsteps has already had two fights in just 7 episodes. The male protagonists of both the dramas have a strong obsession with the color black. It seems to be compulsory. The Turkish name of Kaala Paisa Pyar is Kara Para Ask. KARAdayi and KARA Para Ask. Similar again? Just before the engagements the fate plays a terrible game with our poor heroes, but always for the good. 



3.    The Villains 

What villainous aspects do the writers feel in the villains being short in height against our female protagonists? No matter how serious Karadayi was, we still chuckle when it reminds us of Turgut’s love for our 6 feet tall Feride. The most trusted person of our sponge hearted heroin turns out to be a villain. Is that even fair to the goddess of beauty? One more similarity that our villains share is their name initials. LOL. Coincidences I tell you. 
The Karadayi story was so life like but one thing it lacked was genetic relatedness in close relations. Usman did not look like Necdet even an inch but Metin from Kaala Paisa Pyar does. Genes don't lie. Baldness is what these two have in common.




4.    İlkin Tüfekçi

How can we talk about the duo without the mention of our lovely Bahar? She played the role of Feride's assistant and later her best friend in Karadayi and now in Kaala Paisa Pyar we see her again on the screen as the only close friend of Omer. Wasn't it Bahar who supported Feride when everyone turned against her? History is repeating itself again. In Episode 6, after the face breaking fight between Omer and Adeel, Pelin seems inclined to support Omer. 
We hope her role doesn't end in Kaala Paisa Pyar as it did in Karadayi.



5.    Finally, The Plot 

In both the duos, the protagonists are brought together to work on a common murder case which involves their loved ones. The scenario of Kaala Paisa Pyar is similar to that of Karadayi in which a career oriented girl loses her dearest. Without knowing she is helping the underworld. Her close relation turns out to be evil. Now if we look at the male protagonist, the man has to prove the innocence of his beloved.



Because of the similarities, Kaala Paisa Pyar stands as good news for the fans of Karadayi for they can now enjoy Kaala Paisa Pyar till Karadayi season 2 is yet to be decided; Every Monday to Friday at 10 pm on Urdu1.
