Balaa Episode 5 & 6 Story Review – Good Progress

Opening Thoughts:

Ohkay so, this episode of Balaa was well executed & quite interesting. I am glad that the story moved forward & there were a lot of developments to this episode’s credit. So far Balaa does have a story that has been seen before but the kind of execution that has been given to it as well as the characters makes it interesting enough to tune to every single week.

Developments:

Zafar & Nigar knew that if they will directly tell Junaid to divorce Zeba, he will never do that out of his love for her, that is why they started with their evil mind games only to further their agenda. Nigar wants Zeba out of Junaid’s life because after that Zafar will be able to push Shama to get Taimoor married to Nigar & Batool to Junaid. Even though Zafar & Nigar spent quite a lot of money as well as energy to malign Junaid’s heart against Zeba, it was unfortunate that it did not take a minute for Junaid to believe everything that was being presented in front of him.

CYMERA_20180918_151149

At times Junaid did try to reason with Zafar & he also defended Zeba but he couldn’t stay firm because Zafar was adamant & was making sure that he kept on brain feeding his son against his wife constantly. Junaid might be the victim here but then I will label him as a weak individual who could not stand by his decision of protecting his wife & most importantly trusting her.

I guessed it right, Nigar & Zafar hired Mateen, Saba’s boyfriend, for this task. Nigar obviously saw him with Saba & knew that he would do anything to get her so I am sure she gave him 10 lacs to do this job which was a decent amount for him to get his life started with Saba on his own. Mateen did what he was asked to without thinking about the consequences that he will have to face later but for now, things turned out to be exactly how Zafar & Nigar wanted. Junaid will never be able to unsee walking onto Zeba & Mateen in the same room. I so wish they show Nigar & Zafar paying a huge price for ruining someone’s life like that.

CYMERA_20180918_151013

On the other hand, Saba tried to talk to her mother once again but Rashida continued to praise her luck of scoring a damaad like Taimoor. I agree, anyone would want a damaad like Taimoor but it can not & should not be ignored if the girl who is being forced to marry someone is mentally ready for it or not? Saba did say rightly so that Taimoor might be nice but not necessarily meant to be an ideal for her but Rashida chose to overlook Saba’s wishes because she liked Taimoor more than Saba did. Whatever happened later was basically a result of Saba’s choices not being respected. If Rashida had allowed her daughter to be with the one she loved, this wouldn’t have happened!

Nigaar was lurking around only to showcase how nice & kind-hearted she is. Zafar didn’t want to be a part of Shama’s happiness but Nigar scored some brownie points by going against her father in front of Shama. Nigar is quite manipulative & it is sad that she is building up her relationship after destroying a couple of other relationships. Let’s see what price she will pay.

I feel Zeba should bounce back & show it to Junaid that she is better off without him. It was sad seeing her defeated & dejected already by saying again & again that she was nothing without him or his support. I am sure after their divorce the character of Zeba will make an exit from the story but I hope they keep her as a side track & do show her progress & how she works to become an independent strong woman only for Junaid to realize later that he was wrong about her. Let’s see if this happens.

Closing Thoughts:

Overall, this episode covered a lot of scenarios & details. I also like the filler scenes that Balaa has, it keeps things flowing nicely & help changing the scenario as well – like Taimoor & Saleha’s argument over different topics & Taimoor & Shama’s conversations, all of that makes it quite interesting. All of the actors are performing brilliantly but Sajid Hassan is fun to watch, Zafar’s mannerism is hilarious & the way he speaks, Sajid Hassan has really nailed this character. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Balaa.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Hina Altaf’s Mother’s Disease Schizophrenia And How It Affects People

Hina Altaf recently started sharing why she did not have the kind of relationship with her mother which girls take for granted. Her mother had acute Schizophrenia because of which she could never play the motherly role in Hina’s life. A mother is a child’s security blanket, someone who is always there for them but Hina Altaf had no such mother figure in her life for the longest time. hina1 Schizophrenia is a serious ailment which directly affects the way a person perceives the outside world. The patients suffering from this disease most often lose their touch with reality. Unlike many other mental disorders which can be controlled through medicine, Schizophrenia is difficult to treat. People suffering from this disease have a difficult time leading a normal life. Hallucinations and Delusions are one of the most common symptoms of the disease. Schizophrenia makes it very difficult for the patient to do those things which are often very basic. They are perpetually depressed and have a difficult time beginning and sustaining activities. In severe cases, the cognitive abilities are also affected greatly because of this disease. hinaa-1 Hina Altaf shared how her mother never taught her anything because obviously she could not do so because of this disease. She also said that her mother even called her a prostitute which basically shows that just like any other patient, she believed in things which were not true. There are many treatments and therapies for this disease but unfortunately Hina Altaf’s mother’s disease has gone to an extent where it cannot even be treated or controlled.

The Tragic And Shocking Incident Of Child Kidnapping

0

Children are unfortunately kidnapped every day in our country but some of these kidnapping incidents are so bizarre that it is difficult to comprehend how the parents of these children must cope. Nida Yasir conducted a special show in which different parents came to the show to tell how their children were kidnapped. Callers were also given an opportunity to narrate similar experiences. This show raised awareness about how children were being kidnapped and the steps parents should take in order to protect their children. Experts were also present on the show to tell who the parents should contact if their child is kidnapped.

1-20

One of the callers narrated an incident in which her daughter barely escaped kidnapping in a hospital. The guests at the show were shocked to know the whole story because hospitals are considered safe by everyone.

3-12

Nowadays a picture of an adorable 8 month old baby has been circulating social media and the web. Father of this beautiful baby girl also came to the show. He told how his daughter was snatched from in front of their apartment from his wife’s arms. The helpless father could not stop crying and pleaded to everyone to find his daughter. The officials are doing whatever they can and we really hope that this baby girl is recovered soon and the kidnappers are brought to justice.

Sarah Khan Will Leave Acting Very Soon

Sarah Khan is the most loved actress of our drama industry who has been doing a lot of work on television lately. She has also been making appearances in talk shows so that her fans can know everything about how she entered showbiz and what her future plans are.

42058853_336707156903953_4783821624681955328_n

Sarah Khan’s fans will be shocked and perhaps disappointed to know that she will not be seen on screen for too long. The good news however is that she plans to make her own dramas and films too as a producer. Sarah Khan shared on Farah’s show that she will only work as an actress for 2 or maybe 3 years and after that she is planning to start her own production house. Many other successful actors in Pakistani drama industry also started their own production house but there are very few who had such definitely plans for doing so.

41931806_314086109145654_5057871595075272704_n

Sarah Khan is very sure about what she wants to do in her future and we love that about her. She is young but very focused. We also predict that she will most probably open this production house after she gets married with co-star Agha Ali.

Sarah refused a few times but he did not leave her alone. As a consequence, she slapped him. She slapped him once to stop him from pressurizing her and when they left the place, she also slapped him in front of everyone else so that everyone around gets the message that she will not allow such behaviour!

Ayeza Khan was always talented, beautiful and confident but with the help of the best stylists, make-up artists and photographers, Ayeza Khans looks better than ever now. There was a time when Ayeza Khan had restricted her image to the girl-next-door but right now she is more willing to experiment than ever. Ayeza Khan made an impressive comeback after she got married. In her recent pictures from various photo shoots, Ayeza Khan sets up new style goals.

Ayeza Khan sports completely different looks in all these shoots and is slaying all of them. In one of the shoots her look is funky, in the other one it is graceful and in the third one it is totally different from others. Same is true for all the roles she has done on television after she got married.

Hina Altaf Left her parents but she supports them

Hina Altaf is not one of those celebrities who work only because it is their hobby but this is her proper profession through which she supports not only herself but also her family. Hina Altaf left her house because she knew that she needed to focus on her career. 3-9 While talking to Samina Peerzada she shared that even though she has not shown her parents her house yet and perhaps does not stay in touch much often too but she still supports them financially. Hina Altaf also said that it was not possible for her brother alone to run the house so he needed her support too. 4-7 Hina started supporting her parents financially when she was very young so showbiz was never fun and games for her. This is also the reason why she left her house because she needed to focus on earning for her family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=695elLqBSh8&feature=youtu.be&t=935

Hina Altaf’s Father Threatened Her When She Decided To Move Out

Right now, everyone wants to find out more about Hina Altaf and she is very willing to share every little detail about her life. Hina Altaf moved out of her parents’ house when her guru and mentor Dr.Alam told her that she needed to step away from that house in order to get better. Hina said that for her this decision was not difficult to make since she too could feel that her condition will only get worse if she continued living with her parents. In Pakistan, when a girl decides to move out of her parents’ house, this decision is never welcomed because the society does not accept it. hinaa Hina shared that when she moved out of the house, her brother supported her but her father was not at all happy. She shared that her father threatened to call the police. Her father tried to pressurize her in every way possible but Hina did what she needed to do. When Hina left the house she got a lot of support from Dr. Alam which is why her journey was smooth. Hina said that even when her father was threatening her of dire consequences, she did not fight with him and quietly moved out.   hinaaa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=695elLqBSh8&feature=youtu.be&t=962

Tattoo on Hina Altaf’s Arm. Who Is That Someone Special?

0

Hina Altaf literally spoke her heart out when she sat down to talk to Samina Peerza on her show. She did not hold back which is why her interview got an amazing response from the audience. This year on Mother’s day when all the celebrities were paying tribute to their mothers, Hina Altaf got someone’s name tattooed on her arm and said that this was the man who stood by her in the darkest of hours. Hina Altaf also turned the comments off for this post because clearly she did not want to discuss who she was referring to and what this man meant to him. When this picture and Hina’s post was shared on other pages, most people starting speculating that Hina had found her soul mate. Hina did not start talking about him until recently. She talked about him when she was a guest at Sanam Baloch’s show and also when she shared everything about her life at Samina Peerzada’s show. 41991394_316659982430034_7186922609240440832_n 41889099_374527956420234_2480656037951045632_n Hina shared that this man was not her romantic interest or a soul mate but he was a doctor. Dr. Alam, is someone who helped Hina come out of a very dark phase of her life. While narrating how she met him and how he impacted her life, Hina said that her friend’s mother used to work for Dr. Alam, that is how she met him. In the beginning Hina was only in contact with him via emails but later on he asked to meet her and that is when Hina’s journey towards a better life started. Hina shared that she was 20 when she met this man and within a few years, he turned her life around. 41849008_1929472913776809_3060475549169221632_n Hina shared that sometimes all you need in your life is a mentor – someone who can guide you in the right direction and give you hope. Hina talked about how Dr. Alam helped her heal by helping her forgive everyone who had hurt her. She said that Dr. Alam had helped a lot of girls like her but he kept his work discreet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=695elLqBSh8&feature=youtu.be&t=1341

Ishq Tamasha Last Episode Story Review-Convenient!

Ishq Tamasha was such a great drama but I couldn’t have hoped for more pathetic ending. The second last episode was so utterly boring and dragging that it became impossible to even take out anything out of it. The ending of Ishq Tamasha was just a convenient closure. They had to end it so they wrapped up everything in a mere eye blink, leaving nearly everything unanswered.

Rushna was suffering from severe headaches since many episodes, she also had dizzy spells. But they did not even tell what was her main problem. She died at last due to an apparent overdose and nothing major was diagnosed. Mehrab’s behaviour with Rushna was never very friendly and she was okay with it. So she should have had some medical issue for all the problems she was having rather than Mehrab. Kinza Hashmi played her character the most perfect among all the actors in this drama. The shortcoming was on the writer’s behalf who ruined her character in the end, not even giving it its due importance. She should have been given a more detailed closure than just a simple overdosage. All of a sudden Arham cam back and took her with him. A total expression of convenience since the writer was not able to end what he had started.

2018-09-17_04.19.31

Aqeela’s drive for seeking forgiveness from everyone was simply awful. She was herself throwing away Palwasha ka Rishta when her elder daughter has just died. Palwasha was also all made up, ready for the Rishta talks since who cares that your sister has died. That scene was simply disgusting. And Khala amma calling that Aik Kaam To Acha Hua gave me chills. This family didn’t even care about Rushna, so their behaviour with Mirha was justified.

Mirha’ sudden nightmares and all the missing drama for Rushna was extremely annoying. Why was she having those premonitions when Rushna never even apologized to her? Her whole conversation with Mehrab also struck a cord and he realized that how bad a person he was. And he rectified everything by taking an overdosed Rushna to the hospital. Such a cool guy!

They didn’t tell Rushna’s illness, forgot about phupho and her daughter. Wahaj was also just thrown out of the mix easily and nobody even named Arham in more than half of the drama. But we got a flowery proposal in the end and according to team Ishq Tamasha, that is all that matters!

What do you think about such a convenient wrap up of the mess? Share in comments!

Lashkara Episode 20 & 21 Story Review – Well Executed!

Opening Thoughts:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Lashkara were intense & done well. Even though unexpectedly the story of Lashkara has turned out to be grim & based on a social issue, the makers have never once over-dramatized or sensationalized the subject which is a plus point & makes it not too heavy to watch.

Developments in The Episodes:

Just when Feeka & Bubbly were now starting afresh & dreaming for a humble yet happy life together, life threw a curve ball at them. Feeka’s love for Bubbly is getting challenged again & again & even though Feeka has bounced back & vowed to not repeat the same mistake of leaving Bubbly & he is standing by his word though, I feel Sunny is always one step ahead in loving Bubbly & proving it to or for her.

CYMERA_20180917_030253

Bubbly thought life won’t get unfair to her again as she has had her fair shares of troubles & hardships but little did she know that a bigger test was awaiting her. Even though if we take a general look on the story of Lashkara, it shows a typical household jealousy but the way it has been executed makes it far more different to what we usually get to see.

Nikki is evil. She is jealous & most importantly, she needs help. Nikki may have the right to hate Bubbly but she so didn’t have the right to do this to her. It is unforgivable & pure evil. I so wish in Lashkara, they show that despite being a female or a daughter of an affluent business woman, Nikki pays the price for even initiating this idea of harming Bubbly to this extent. Usually, in our dramas a man involved in unrequited love does this to the girl & gets punished so I want them to show that even a girl can go to jail for even plotting a crime as heinous as this against someone. Even though Nikki & Akram’s conversation made it obvious that it was Akram who either did it directly or got it done but it can not be denied that he did all of that only to please his wife – what a loser with zero personality & brains who is even ready to become a criminal only to get that validation from a psychotic like Nikki who he calls his wife. Nikki made it obvious to him that when the time will come, she might not protect him but whatever the case may be, I want them both to rot in jail!!!

CYMERA_20180917_030356

This recent episode of Lashkara didn’t cover the mental trauma a victim of an acid attack goes through, rather it showed how it takes a toll on the family members of those victims. It showed everything in detail which made it easier to feel their pain. The way they showed how media plays a role in sensationalizing such cases was spot on too. Saima once again took the front seat & set everyone straight. I wish Nasreen stands by her words & fulfils her promise that she made to her son regarding Nikki being the culprit. I think Nasreen still thinks Nikki is not capable of doing something like this but I hope her bubble bursts & she happens to be the one devising punishment for her mentally unstable daughter!

Closing Thoughts:

Overall, these two episodes were heavy but the treatment that the director has given to this subject & story makes it easier to watch. This episode again was laden with some amazing & heart wrenching performances & all of the actors have given their 100% to these roles. My favourite in this drama is Imran Ashraf for sure. I can bet no one could have played the role of Sunny the way he has. Just perfect. Mohsin Abbas Haider performed phenomenally as well, he showcased the disturbed mindset of Feeka to perfection too & Ushna Shah outdid herself in the scene where acid gets thrown on Bubbly’s face, her screams depicted the pain that one goes through, simply awesome. They all are such amazing actors, wow! Please share your thoughts about this episode of Lashkara.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Baandi Episode 1 Story Review-A Strong Start!

Writer: Asma Nabeel

Director: Syed Ahmed Kamran

Cast: Aiman Khan, Muneeb Butt, Yasir Hussain, Hajra Yameen, Kamran Jilani, Noman Masood and                  Hina Dilpazeer.

Baandi is written by Asma Nabeel of Khaani fame, has come up with another story. This time she has penned down a tory focusing on the ordeals of Haaris at the hands of feudal lords. The story is set up in Sindh where people are enslaved for generations on petty debts.

The story shows us two settings. One is rural where there is a feudal lord Tahawaar played by Yasir Hussain. He has inherited everything from his equally cruel father. He and his people do not care about the lives of people working under them. Meeru (Aiman Khan) is the daughter of a Haari who has been enslaved in front of these feudals since his father’s time. Tahawaar takes a look at Meeru and wants her for himself. His wingman tried to do the same to Meeru’s friend Bakhtu who ultimately had to run away to save herself. He has already started plotting to snatch Meeru from her family. Tahawaar’s father had cut Meeru’s father’s tongue which shows the mentality of Tahawaar and his forefathers.

2018-09-16_14.04.23

On the other hand, we have Wali Khan (Muneeb Butt), his mother Faiza Begum (Hina Dilpazeer) is a spiritual leader while his father Ali Faizan (Noman Masood) is a businessman. The family which looks so sophisticated from the front has dark secrets. They married off their 16-year-old daughter Rameen (Hajra Yameen) to Aadil (Kamran Jillani) for a business arrangement. Rameen’s husband is abusive to that extent that she lost her unborn child to his violence. The perfect looking Faiza and Ali did not utter a word for their daughter and instead asked her to be more patient. Wali who is preparing for CSS is not okay with his sister’s condition and tries to ask questions from his brother in law but get snubbed by him and then his own parents.

2018-09-16_14.02.36

The introductory episode was strong as all the characters were revealed with their shades. The editing was done perfectly and each scene seemed necessary and engaging. The one person who looks like will make Baandi a must watch is Yasir Hussain, he has taken up the role of Tahawaar with perfection. Hina Dilpazeer also looks like the snobby and materialistic speaker, who doesn’t do what she asks her followers to do.

It will be interesting to watch Meeru and Wali’s worlds collide as well as more of Tahwaar. Stay tuned!

Visaal Episode 24 & 25 Story Review – Amazing!

Opening Thoughts:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Visaal were quite interesting & intense. I am glad that the end of the story is coming together & things are being wrapped up incredibly. I must say it is commendable that despite the overall slow pace of this drama, as a viewer I never once lost interest in Visaal & that is mostly because of Akram’s character which for me is the best thing about this drama!

Developments in The Episodes:

Pari spoke to Munna & chose him as her safety net. Pari showed a lot of maturity & far-sightedness when it came to making a decision about her future as she had one thing on her mind & that was to get rid of Akram. Munna ended up being the only option for Pari & even all those who are associated with her because Munna actually proved that if there was one thing that he could give to her undoubtedly, it was security which Pari was in dire need of.

CYMERA_20180916_031017

Pari knew that Munna was burdened with the favors that Akram did for him that is why she put forth her conditions in front of him one of which was basically to ensure that Munna has nothing to do with Akram after their marriage. Everything aside I will say that the decision Pari took was rational but then as far as her decision of not forgiving Akram is concerned, I find it too harsh & unjustified. Pari forgot how she lost everything because of Naheed & chose to forgive her but when it comes to Akram, she is holding him responsible for what? For falling in love with her & relying on Naheed to get to her? Akram was always clear about it, he fell in love with Pari & wanted to get married to her so why & how does it make him the ultimate culprit? What Naheed did to Pari was far more evil, cruel & also happened even before Akram came into the picture so? Pari forgives Naheed & hates Akram for loving her? Yes, Akram’s approach was wrong but his intention was not & that is why he didn’t even lie to Naheed & only used her secret to get what he wanted!

Pari ended up convincing Munna too & showed him the real picture. Even though Munna is simple minded, he still wasn’t totally buying what he heard from Akram about Pari because he formed an opinion about her after spending some time with her. Munna couldn’t find logic behind everything that Akram said because even he could feel something was not right. Pari told everything to Munna & he decided that he was going to proceed with the wedding, even if it meant upsetting Akram – that is courageous & sweet at the same time!

CYMERA_20180916_031121

Akram couldn’t even imagine Pari being with Munna, hence the reaction & again he continued maligning her image to make sure Munna backs out. I feel the writer has kept Akram’s character quite real & that is why he has not changed his personality or thought process at all. Akram chose the wrong path in the beginning & he is blinded by his love for her so much that he is continuing to go the wrong way again to get Pari. Akram got a lot of time in the prison to think things through, I wish he had thought about some other way to get his feelings recognized by Pari but no, he thinks by isolating her, he will get her. Even though I can foresee the ending the writer will choose for Akram & I do agree with it, but I still feel that Akram is now being turned into the ultimate villain whereas in reality, it isn’t him, it is Naheed but her suicide has turned her into a victim? I don’t buy that. I still want things to even if not work for Akram but a chance for him to be understood & a chance where he can explain what actually happened & how things kept on getting out of hand. He deserves that at least, this is what I feel.

Closing Thoughts:

Overall, these 2 episodes or Visaal were amazing & I had a great time watching them. Hats off to Zahid Ahmed for all of those scenes which included Akram’s outbursts, he really made Akram’s emotions come through & I as a viewer could feel the intensity in his acting. It is commendable that Zahid Ahmed did not hold back & it is too obvious that he has loved portraying this character that is why he has not only owned it but done complete justice to it too. Zahid Ahmed was The Right Choice for this character so well done to the casting director for choosing him & well done to Zahid Ahmed for a phenomenal performance. I will say the actor playing the role of Munna is a very fine character actor too, he makes Munna realistically & likeably bechara & masoom – too good. The director should take a bow for extracting these performances from all the actors – amazing. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Visaal.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Former first lady of Pakistan Begum Kulsoom Nawaz passed away earlier this week due to her cancer. Her funeral was held in London before she was brought to Pakistan where she had another funeral and was buried in Lahore yesterday. Amidst all this a news report from Geo TV has caused a lot of online rage. While people mourned the death of Kulsoom Nawaz Geo reporter Ayaz Syed thought it was okay to discuss the length and width and height of Kulsoom Nawaz’s grave. This lead to social media’s backlash. Many people were furious and stated that the report was disrespectful and unnecessary.

One user called the media shameless.

Another user asked the journalist to go get a life.

One user wrote RIP journalism implying that journalism is dead.

Baba Jani Episode 2 Story Review – Egos In Action!

0

Baba Jani Episode 2 Story Review – This second episode of Baba Jani was for the most part predictable but there were also certain aspects which were penned down and executed in a way which was refreshing. Baba Jani’s Episode 2 was yet again visually pleasing and the productions values have also been impressive, so far. Sadia and Nimra were completely missing from this episode. Faiza Iftikhar’s scripts do not take off immediately but there is always something new about them. In this episode, the way Asfand dealt with the situation in the last few scenes, gave this story a certain level of freshness.

Najeeba And Naila In Action

This episode opened with Asfand asking Najeeba to go to khala’s house so that she could formally propose to Mehwish. Asfand was honest about the reasons why he felt he should get settled down now. Najeeba is a clever woman who knew it was better to create a misunderstanding between Mehwish and Asfand instead of talking him out of this marriage. Najeeba and Naila’s conversations once again showed their insecurities and their plans. When Najeeba and Naila shared their reservations with khala, she did not hold back either. It seemed like khala too was not too eager to get her daughter married in this family, for obvious reasons. I must say that the dialogues and this whole situation was penned down in such a manner that they were easy to relate to. Najeeba refusing to eat anything because according to her she ate only homemade food was extremely relatable! Later on when Saqib wanted to eat lunch, Najeeba refused to cook and asked Asfand to get the food delivered! It is a common way of “judging” how sughar the girl or her mother is when people go looking for proposals! Najeeba and Naila pushed all the right buttons and Khala too was not very eager to compromise. It was a classic case of egos and vested interests in action.

The Way Asfand Handled The Situation Was Refreshing

The first part of this episode was predictable, although the performances and the overall treatment given to this part was superb but everyone could clearly see where this track was headed. The second part however was penned down brilliantly. This was not shown as one of those misunderstandings which are created immediately and turn everything around. The way Asfand handled the situation was definitely new. He insisted that Mehwish should meet him and they should talk about what happened. When he asked Mehwish to apologize to his sister, there was no ego involved. For him, it was the obvious thing to do since Najeeba Aapa was older than Mehwish. This scene showed an interesting side of Asfand’s personality – he is not foolish (like so many men we see in our dramas all the time) but he has certain principles and he expects Mehwish to understand them. Even when Mehwish refused to apologize, the main factor which triggered him was when she said that she regretted waiting for him all these years. Asfand is a middle-aged man and Mehwish is much younger than him therefore you do understand why he’d think she would much rather marry someone else. This misunderstanding made perfect sense and was shown brilliantly.

The Performances

The performances and the makeovers just like last week were right on point. Faysal Qureshi has translated his character gracefully on screen. The character itself is quite interesting and Faysal Qureshi has made it even more so by giving it the right treatment. Saba Hameed is exceptional no matter which role she plays, it is always a treat watching her perform. Faryal Mehmood looks great in this drama but I feel she could have underplayed this character a little. Faysal Qureshi is definitely more convincing as someone who is madly in love. All the supporting actors performed well in this episode.

The Preview Of The Next Episode

The most interesting part of the preview of the next episode was Asfand and Sadia’s meeting. Looks like the story will move forward rapidly next week. I missed watching Sadia and Nimra in this episode therefore definitely looking forward to watching more of them.

Best Part!

The best part of this drama so far is the male lead Asfand and the overall feel of this play. Every scene has been directed beautifully which makes watching this drama a pleasant experience and a visual treat.
