Dorr Gets Trolled for Cringe Casting and Content | Six Screens

The Express Entertainment drama Dorr recently became the centre of online criticism. The show airs on TV and has a large audience. However, a particular scene caused strong reactions on social media. Fans called it cringe and poorly cast content.

The serial is typical of the ‘saas‑bahu’ and family politics genre. Dorr stars experienced actors, including Usman Pirzada, Seemi Pasha, Farah Hussain, Haroon Shahid, Zain Afzal, Aliya Ali, Fahima Awan, and Mohsin Ejaz. Despite its strong cast and long run, one recent scene made many viewers question its quality. Six Screens will cover all the details in this blog.

The Scene That Sparked Backlash

The episode shows an elderly man named Kirmani trying to forcefully fix his wedding date with a young woman named Feroza, played by Aliya Ali. In the scene, Kirmani also calls another character, Farah Sadia, “Ammaa”, which means “mother”. However, viewers pointed out that he looks much older than her character’s mother.

As a result, many viewers reacted with mockery. They said the Dorr casting felt unrealistic and mismatched. They also said the content reminded them of Indian soap‑style scenes that often stretch believability.

Social Media Reacts Strongly

Soon after the scene aired, reactions poured in on platforms like Instagram and X. Many people criticised the way the characters looked and behaved. One comment said the actor playing Kirmani should call the other woman “Behen ji” (sister) instead of “Ammaa ji” (mother). Others bluntly called the drama “pathetic”.

Several fans also questioned why established actors agreed to be part of such scenes. They said the cast could do much better work. One viewer wrote that the drama offered “highly unethical content” and felt like Pakistani dramas were copying Indian culture.

What This Means for the Show

Although Dorr has a loyal audience and strong viewership, this backlash shows how sensitive fans are to content and casting. Online users now openly discuss mismatched roles and unrealistic story choices. Many feel that when a popular show includes scenes that feel out of place, viewers react loudly and quickly.

In recent years, this kind of reaction has become more common. Fans now speak up immediately when they see something they don’t like or find cringey. They compare scenes to international standards and sometimes even to other Pakistani shows that handle sensitive topics more realistically.

Quality and Expectations of the Audience

The Pakistani audience now requires improved narration and acting. They appreciate realism in characters and real-life scenarios. When the characters are misplaced or a scene is forced into a show, the viewers know that something is wrong. The drama viewers want to watch realistic scenes and rational casting, and they feel disappointed when their expectations are not followed.

Social media intensifies responses. Clips, comments, and memes go viral, which puts even more pressure on drama producers to be of high quality. Actors and directors are now getting direct feedback.

A Chance to Improve 

Although the criticism of Dorr might seem cruel, it can lead the industry to become better. Powerful dramas can use the feedback of the viewers to make better casting decisions. They can refine scenes that feel unrealistic or awkward. When writers and directors listen to audiences, the overall quality of work can rise.

Pakistani audiences want dramas to regain their lost pace of storytelling. They want plots that feel organic and characters that feel real. When drama creators deliver this, audiences will respond positively. Today, fans no longer stay silent. They voice what they think matters.

Final Thoughts

The backlash against Dorr highlights how much viewers care about good content. When audiences see scenes that feel out of place, they speak up quickly. They want dramas that respect their intelligence and cultural values. In the end, this trend may encourage better casting decisions and stronger scripts. Pakistani television can only benefit when creators and fans engage in honest conversations about quality.
