SummaryInspired by the folk tale of the legend of Mirza – Sahiban, Mirzya is a timeless story of star-crossed lovers played out in two parallel worlds: one real, one fantastical.
The life-and-death stakes are there, but the people involved — while uniformly ravishing to gaze upon — are too wanly sketched for this melodrama to pump much blood.
Even those who know Mirza Sahiba may have a hard time reconciling the way this decorous present-tense melodrama is juxtaposed with pompous period flashbacks to that story.
