I am usually not a big fan of unrealistic endings but I have to say that I am relieved that this play did not have a realistic ending. Every character in Kadurat suffered so much in the past episodes that by the end of the play I wanted their problems to end. It is highly unlikely that someone with issues as complicated as Mina’s can completely change but it is also true that good communication, understanding and love can change a great deal. Sometimes people need a wake up call and Shaheen gave Mina just that. The way in which Doctor Zohaib’s character bridged the communication gap between Mina and her father in particular was actually quite good because I wouldn’t have liked it if the doctor didn’t have a substantial role to play in the story. Tonight’s episode like all others belonged to Sanam Saeed, she completely stole the show by making the viewers feel for her character and giving them a reason to forgive her. Sanam Saeed’s performance was outstanding throughout the serial, she owned this character right from the get-go.

This was a very fairytale ending in which practically everyone got what they wanted and they truly lived happily ever after. Mahmood finally realized that no matter what kind of a person Mina was the fact was that she is her daughter and he cannot run away from that responsibility. Mahmood’s first mistake was to bring a second wife with children to Mina’s life without ever asking her how she felt about it. I thought I would never hear Mahmood accepting all his mistakes but he did just that. Everyone realized where they had gone wrong and most often such realization is good enough to set things straight.

I watched this last episode with a smile on my face and it was a little emotional too. Atiqa stayed level headed right till the end. There were times when I thought her attitude was annoying but mostly I really liked her character. Her confidence was actually very inspiring.
Deepak Perwani has a very unique style of acting and I have always liked it. He was perfect for the role he played in Mere Pass Pass and he was also ideal for playing the role of Mahmood. I have to admit though that Mahmood’s lack of understanding for many things was somewhat unbelievable sometimes. There were times when I thought he lacked commonsense even.

Imran Aslam is a superb actor, there is o denying that but I must confess that I liked him much more in Sanjha and Nikhar Gaye Gulab Saare. Nida Khan’s acting needs a lot of improvement but that doesn’t stop the producers from casting her in leading roles! I know only too well that most of the people here are not big fans of Momal Sheikh’s acting but I liked her in this one. She played the role of the insecure/scared girl nicely.
Overall, this was a very decent ending and one that I enjoyed watching. The drama ended rather early compared to the rest of the serials which must complete 20 episodes or so no matter what. Did you watch this last episode? Do share your views about it.

Ohkay so it’s official (not that it wasn’t before) that this serial is an epitome of imperfection. I think when the logic ended this drama came into materialization. Whoever the writer & the director are, they deserve a standing ovation for pulling this piece of crap & actually succeeding in annoying us. Spare me for I’m furious about the time of mine that has been wasted, phew!

The pattern of each of the episodes is similar where Arham is happy at one moment & the very next he wants to die & go to hell ASAP (which I wish he would). Areeba pulls off this constipated face every time & succeeds in irritating us to limits. Samina Begum knows Narmeen’s ill-mannered but everytime she becomes a saas & wants to pass a statement to correct Narmeen & later she regrets speaking to her. Sarah’s just a filler to fill the not-so-happy family picture. Shahiq is a pain…pain to watch, pain to listen to & a pain to tolerate. Shakeel sahab runs this high-end business but in my opinion lacks basic knowledge or a know-how of how an elder should be. He is as unreasonable as one CAN’T be!

I just don’t understand the sequence of this drama & why was this even perceived or why didn’t the actors who are so-called so much experienced in this industry pointed out to the director that he was committing such huge & petty mistakes. I just don’t get why was the drama even made? It’s such a huge disappointment or we can say that it’s like a black mark on their careers. Arham’s fits are just out of control & for this reason I believe he needs to visit a shrink ASAP, because his predicament is now getting funnier & unreasonable, as he seems pretty fine being a stay-at-home man so why does he want to move out of his parents’ house?

I thought Narmeen was never coming back after getting slapped because she ran with a speed of light but the very next moment she was seen sitting on a bed bickering with Shahiq as usual. I just don’t get why every dialogue of Narmeen has to begin with ‘tum mujh pe taunt maar rahay ho?‘ I mean obviously everyone IS targeting you so why do you confirm every time? Just understand it, deal with it like you do animally & shut it Narmeen. Narmeen clearly wore some beige churridaar when she was in her saas sasur’s room but the very next moment when she came back to her room she had a change of bottoms in black trousers. I wonder her walk-in closet was in between the rooms of her sasur & her own. I just hate when she yells unnecessarily to make a mount of a molehill.

Of all the people I thought only Shakeel was impaired from re-calling the past but this time he burst my bubble pretty well by remembering something old which never made any sense. Shahiq hit Narmeen but in response to that Shakeel uncle went to fetch a petty detail from the past. Everyone knows she’s an evil of a kind still they don’t want to do anything about it. & oh at a mention of evil, I would want to thank the director for not showing Narmeen’s mother in this particular episode. She’s another evil on the loose.

I have never ever seen such a hideous drama where nothing makes sense. Accha, all this while when the drama began we never saw any lady of the house working ever but lately they want to show us k baray ghar ki auntiyaan bhi kaam karti hain so that’s why each one of them is chamach-phairing in a pan to show how mehanti they are. I hope any person in-charge from Hum Tv reads the review & the comments of every viewer & quit this show ASAP because it’s nothing but a waste of prime-time slot on every Tuesday. This show must END.

Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

The dialogue “firaq ki dhoop buhat tez hai Yumna, mera sabar pighalne laga hai” may have sounded filmy but I loved it. Ranjish Hi Sahi has been very sweet and simple right from the first episode. The play is not overemotional or heavy duty in any way but it is definitely the sort of play that appeals to you because of its simple yet engaging narrative. The highlight of tonight’s episode had to be Yumna’s decision to tie the knot with Kamal. I really liked the way in which the viewers were shown the transition in Yumna’s attitude towards Kamal. Kamal Hassan’s honesty regarding what is between him and Yumna has been very pleasing. Even when Yumna tells him that she needs him in his life, he knows only too well that Yumna’s decision is based on practicality and not just love, whereas he is still madly in love with her. When he gets confused and worried because of the chance meeting with his brother in law, he is very straightforward about the reason why he was disturbed all of a sudden. Kamal Hassan’s character is very likeable and Faisal Rehman fits perfectly in this role.

Yumna has not been able to muster up the courage to talk to Hiba about her decision and rightly so too because Hiba is very possessive about her mother. I am waiting for the time when Yumna will break the news to her and I am dreading the thought that she may find out in a way which may not be ideal. The relationship between Hiba and Tooba has been shown very nicely; they maybe poles apart but they have a very strong bond.

Am I the only one who cannot figure out who Arsal is really attracted to? I think the confusion is intentional and I find it very interesting. Arsal calls to talk to Tooba but if the expression “opposites attract” is true then Arsal and Hiba are meant to be together. Mohammad Ali and Maya Ali have great on screen chemistry and I am definitely rooting for Hiba and Arsal as long as Tooba does not have feelings for Arsal. The way Tooba feels about having boyfriends and having ties with boys in general is very cute. I like both the tracks in the story; it is a story of young and old romance and I am thoroughly enjoying both.

From everything that we have heard about Kamal’s wife till now we can safely conclude that she is a very domineering person. The episode ended at a very exciting note with Kamal’s wife introducing herself to Yumna. There is probably going to be a confrontation between the two and the fact that Yumna’s daughters will be listening to it is not going to be very comforting for her. Yumna is not the kind of person who can handle such a situation but Kamal Hassan seems to be confident enough to deal with it all. The title of the drama however indicates that Kamal and Yumna may not have a happy life together. Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa, aa phir se mujhe chor ke janay ke liye aa, does not sound very promising.

The pace of the drama has been very steady and the direction has been quite impressive. The story may not be something out of the ordinary but the play has been written nicely. Mohammad Ali’s acting was quite convincing in this episode, now only if our male actors will stop overdoing the pink lipstick and he needs to stop grinning. Maya Ali needs to pay a little more attention to her looks, I like that she is confident enough to wear very little make up but her hair did look very shabby in this episode. Overall, Ranjish Hi Sahi continues to be very promising with a feel of its own. It is definitely a good play to watch on a weekday.

Since my last review I had decided to do a self court martial this time round. So ladies and gentlemen let’s start.

I kid a lot/bohat bongiyan marta hoon mein

Oxford Dictionary does not provide a definition of bongi or bongiyan so you’d have to rely on my definition (Ok I am not exactly an Englishman but no harm in trying) a bongi is something containing nonsense which annoys people and has no real meaning or substance. Phew! So much English in one go, let me breath! Sorry, bongi once again. You know I cannot do away with these bongis (bolay baghair raha na jaye!) But on a serious note, I just try to spice up the goings by adding a little humour only to make my readers smile and enjoy my review. It’s also part of my efforts to make people see the lighter side of things what with so much seriousness already being showcased on our TV Screens. And it might be new for you people but nowhere did I read that a review has to be dead-serious only. We joke and laugh about plays we love as well.

My reviews are superficial/lack depth (kitnay meters yeh kisi ne naheen bataya!)

It could very well be true. I admit I am a thick headed person aur dimagh pe zor deney ke liye sir pe weights bhee naheen rakhta mein,to kiya karoon! I present to you my analysis as an ordinary viewer. There could be viewers who understand or analyze the play more than me, I excuse myself from them. Just consider me a less mortal than you. But I can make a humble effort on character analysis which I am presenting here.

Ali: A person who has a rough exterior but a soft side inside, this we saw today when he punished his son first then went on to say sorry when the kid was sleeping and didn’t want to mention it to Sania. He’s also one who cannot take pressure. When under pressure, he starts blaming others around him including his wife. He is totally devoted to his mother, maybe she raised him single handedly or it’s due to other reasons but as of now we don’t know the real reason.

Sania: Sania is a lively fun loving person but life doesn’t give her enough opportunities to enjoy or show her capabilities. Is this Sania’s nature to be docile or maybe it’s her background. As of know we don’t even know the circumstances which made her marry Ali after her engagement with Ehtesham was called off. Maybe her mother-in-law knows this and might use it at some later time but we do not know. She is also caring for the feelings of others and can stand up for her son.

Sania’s mother-in-law: She is an attention seeker and cannot bear to have attention drawn from her on any instance. Whenever she sees even the remotest chance of this happening, she creates a scene and mostly she uses her son without knowing that. Maybe she is not happy so she cannot see others happy either and in the process she doesn’t even spare her grandson.

Sehrish: Sehrish is a sweet person, she gets attached to others easily and can go to any length for them. She can behave like a child at times and is a bahu and wife anyone would wish for. She is also possessive about her husband and keeps track of him, that showed when she got up immediately when she saw Ehtesham going out of the room to call someone. It could come to play once she starts suspecting him later in the play.

Ehtesham: He is totally devoted towards his wife Sehrish, he loves her more than she loves him and can fight with the world for her. He is also a simpleton and cannot see through people.

Hope it satisfies you people,ub bhee naheen hue ap satisfy to paisay wapis kar deta hoon J This is my humble character analysis which could very well be wrong. Again, the characters keep on evolving so too much character analysis or guessing is not good (again my opinion).

I don’t love the play/find faults with it

Lagta hai ap logon kee amee ne ap ko kabhee naheen kaha ‘yeh shirt change karo, achee naheen lag rahee’ or ‘Jaa k bal katwao ta k insan lago’. It doesn’t mean your mother doesn’t love you, on the contrary we want our loved ones to be flawless. That’s why we keep on pointing their flaws to them, same is the case with me. I love this drama that’s why I took up reviewing it. I like it, find it realistic and relatable and cute on so many levels. Ub mein electricity pole pe charh k to prove karnay se raha that I love this play and the minor glitches I point out stem out of my love and attention for this play. Phir bhee kisi ko shakk hai to koi bat naheen, dramay ka nam bhee shakk hee hai. Let’s follow the spirit of the play J

Ok, enough court martial. We can now discuss today’s episode a bit along with my quite less of my characteristic bongiyan that you people are fed up with.

Today’s episode was again fast paced like Fast & Furious. It showed that Ehtesham’s sister Zara wants her mother to come back and take care of her special child. Although Ehtesham and more than Ehtesham, Sehrish does not want her to go, she still decides to go but not without lecturing Ehtesham about taking good care of Sehrish during her pregnancy. Here we also get a clue about a future event when Sehrish says what if something happens to her in the absence of her mother-in-law and she admonishes her on saying such things. Ali is also settling in, he is having a meeting with some place regarding set up of his business at his house (of all the places!) and in the middle his mother throws a tantrum that she’s not been fed her fruits, Ali calls up Sania to give fruits to his mother, she goes and during this time, Roomi messes up Ali’s papers (pakka nishana hai bachchay ka). Ali punishes him by making him stand outside the door, Roomi runs to his favourite spot, Sehrish’s house. Sehrish and Ehtesham are away to drop Ehtesham’s mother to airport so Roomi forces his way inside. His parents are worried and in his worry and tense state Ali is even on the verge of picking up a fight with Roomi. Later on, Roomi is found dancing in Sehrish’s bedroom and is taken away. Ali says sorry to Roomi while he is sleeping and even tries to talk to Ehtesham on which the episode ends.

The good thing about this episode was that we didn’t get to see the most irritating couple on earth Maham & Atif. Looks like Allah Mian listened to us and enslaved them in a cave on top of Mount Everest (just hope us cave ka darwaza koi na khol de warna merey sir mein jitney bal reh gaye hain who khenchnay se gaye!). The kid’s dancing scene was also cute (aww as the girls say!). The only glitch was that it was very easy to get into Sehrish’s house. This house must be a heaven for thieves! Let’s see where do we go from here. Do comment on the review, is se rating achee atee hai (as the TV channels people say!) And don’t worry I will make up for less bongiyan in this week’s review in next week’s one. Aj mein zara senti ho gaya tha!

Haseeb

Numm finally seems to be getting better, this latest installment was engaging enough. The performances by some of the actors still remain unimpressive and the drama does not qualify as extraordinary but tonight’s episode along with the past two were far better than the previous few episodes. Everything that transpired in the past three episodes should have been shown after the 5th episode, that way the viewers would’ve had less to complaint about.

Bare Sahab clearly spelled out the way he wants to see Wali as a person. Haqeeqat pasandi in his eyes is a virtue, which in other words would mean having no mercy for anyone who stands in the way of your vested interests. Wali in Bare Sahab’s opinion has a long way to go since he is incapable of putting his own self above everyone else. Bare Sahab knows that he and those after him can only keep on exercising unlimited powers if the system continues to function the way it has been functioning for centuries. His thinking reflects the typical thinking of a feudal.

Wali apparently knows about Qasim but is clearly very disturbed when Mahjabeen tells him that she wants to talk about Qasim for obvious reasons. Neelam and Mahjabeen’s conversation was actually quite amusing! Mahjabeen tries to convince Neelam that she has suffered enough and Neelam tried her best to find out who that “boy” was….the “boy” bit made me laugh, it definitely sounded strange. Neelam looked like a little girl who had just discovered someone’s dirty secret and was out to make the most of it. I have to say though that the way Neelam thought things through before talking to Wali about Qasim was not in line with her character at all.

Wali and Neelam’s coversation in the hospital about whether he knew what Neelam was about to tell him or not was hilarious, I felt like I was watching a comic scene from Bulbulay where the confusion was meant to make people laugh. Fawad Khan looked bored and disinterested. In fact there was nothing impressive about his acting in this episode. Maybe because, he wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. He did seem confused more than anything else.

Mahjabeen did not budge an inch after Bare Sahab ordered her to leave for Bakht house immediately. Her conversation with Bare Sahab had to be the only meaningful conversation in this episode. Mahjabeen and Qasim’s meetings in the house are getting more frequent and the preview of the next episode seemed alarming.

One of the primary reasons why Numm has failed to hit a home run with me is that the characters have not impressed me at all. How can you possibly enjoy a play without falling in love with the characters. I have not been able to relate to the trials and tribulations of Mahjabeen. There are times when I feel for Neelam but that is only because she comes across as a child who is stuck in a very complicated situation. There are times when I find myself so busy trying to figure out where Kanza Wyne is going wrong with her acting that I cannot concentrate on anything else. There isn’t anything that one can possibly like about Wali’s character. The play could have been better if the scenes were much shorter.

Did you watch this latest installment or have you given up on Numm? Do share your views.

I think this drama was better off when they were in the past because at least they had some material to be covered, be it in a hideous way but still they managed to show us something, but ever since we’ve come to know about Arham’s so-called gunnah, we’re left with nothing & have come to a point where they are using Narmeen’s breakfast as a weapon against her to prove how EVIL she is.

Accha, Shahiq has this ‘umang’ in his heart that Narmeen must pay some attention to him like Areeba pays to Arham. Sad that Arham still has those fits of distress even after he has found a good wife. Nothing in this drama is making sense at this point. It’s ohkay to be stagnant but when there’s nothing, literally nothing to be shown, then they come up with such meaningless episodes. Last episode ended at a note where Narmeen misbehaves about her FIL (father-in-law) in front of Shahiq & Samina & it was made to shown that Shahiq won’t take that & will slap Narmeen about what she said but how this episode started was enough to show the unsystematic approach of the director.

It was good that at least Sarah could speak in front of Narmeen but what was the NASHTA fiasco all about? Matlab Narmeen’s breakfast was just so important that it had to be mentioned or covered again & again in almost 3 scenes. At least before they kept on hovering around the Gunnah but right now they’re taking it to the household chores. Nashta, late uthna, namaz, bahu se kaam na karwana? Seriously!?!?!?! & yes whenever they sight the mood, they take us to already-seen-present-flashbacks, applaud for such an amazing insight of the director & the editor.

Accha, I just don’t understand the pattern of Arham’s pagal-pan. At one moment he is walking hands in hands with Areeba who is counseling him regularly, on the other he is having a breakfast with everyone peacefully, he is also seen asking Shahiq about his problems & went for Namaz with him to usay daura kahan se parh jata hai? No one loves me, no one understands me, no one has forgiven me? I think everyone has walked out of that phase in life but it is Arham who needs to snap out of it.

They never once showed how Arham connected the puzzle of Narmeen’s game? Narmeen never ever told anyone except her mother that she liked Shahiq for which she has left Arham? But from the last 2 – 3 episodes Arham on his own is speaking about Narmeen’s marriage to Shahiq because she found him more attractive than Arham? If it was someone wise, he must’ve established some grounds for Arham to be finding out the ultimate secret but right now he is just so sure without any knowledge of Narmeen’s game-plan. Plus all he knew was that Shahiq was forced into marrying Narmeen because of her izzat to be protected but this particular detail should’ve been used as a shocker & something to be exposed in front of everyone or else if Arham has connected the dots, why ain’t he speaking of it in front of his family?

Lost interest in the drama & praying that it ends ASAP!

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Surprisingly, I never get a chance to get bored while watching this show. Each scene contains a new twist that keeps me hooked. The prediction of Maira breaking the old tradition that has been running in the family for generations came true in this episode.

The episode progressed at a steady pace; we saw Maira and Shahab enjoying their last few hours together. After his outburst, Shahab tried to make it up to Maira by taking her to the café, and we saw a very playful interaction between them. All was good, till Bilal suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shocked Maira. She has still not forgotten what a huge mess his simple phone call had created, and now he was standing right in front of her and she did not know how to deal with this situation.

She was extremely uncomfortable and tried to keep the conversation to a minimum. She got even more scared when Shahab came and teased Bilal ‘Tum Meri Biwi Ka Peecha Ker Rahe Ho’. For a minute there, I thought Shahab will get furious, but fortunately, Shahab is a person who learns from his mistake and does not believe in repeating them. He casually teased him and dismissed the issue. Thank God!

Shahab’s good mood only lasted for a while, and then he was back to his brooding. He was dreading his impending marriage to Fatima, and my heart went out for Maira when he cruelly made her aware of what is going to happen next. He even smashed the tiny hope inside her that they might still be able to meet secretly.

Peer Jalal’s character may have a lot of flaws, but I simply love his personality. He has this certain aura, charisma that I am in complete awe of. The way he calmly responded to the demand made by Sikander through Badi Sarkar was pretty impressive. If this man has learned something in his life, then it is self-control. He dealt with Sikander in a very clear-cut manner. His warning was given in a very normal tone, but everybody could feel the underlying threat in the warning. Peer Jalal has been ignoring Sikander and his demands for quite some time now, but finally decided to speak up to bring him to his senses. This scene made me want to clap for both the actors for their outstanding performances.

Sikander’s attitude with Badi Sarkar might be stern and authoritative, but when it comes to Peer Jalal his whole attitude changes. The lion suddenly becomes a mere cat in the presence of Peer Jalal. The scene where he is taunting Badi Sarkar for Shahab’s absence and the sudden change in him when Peer Jalal comes made me laugh out loud! Sikander is a two faced man who is using his own sister for his personal gain. Badi Sarkar might not be able to understand that she is being used, but Peer Jalal is wise enough to understand Sikander’s every motive.

The main twist was in the latter part of the episode. Just when it felt like the fate has been sealed, a ray of hope emerged. When Shahab rushed Maira to the hospital, he was not expecting his whole life to take a 360 turn. He was on top of the world when the doctor announced that Maira was expecting; it was like the rest of the world did not exist for him. But he was brought back to reality by Badi Sarkar’s phone call.

I was expecting a better reaction from Maira when Shahab announced the news to her. Ainie Jafferi was completely expressionless in this scene. I was expecting her to be either shocked, surprised or show disbelief, but all we got was an expressionless face. Her expression or the lack of it ruined the scene for me!

I would like to make a special mention of Amna Bibi for this episode. She was bang on in all her scenes! Her senseless rants are truly very entertaining. The way she answered back to Fatima and Badi Sarkar was definitely worth an applause!

So, now the question is what will happen next? Will Shahab marry Fatima now? And why is he so adamant on hiding this news? I am really curious to know what will happen next!

Do share your opinion about the episode!

Till Next Week

Itna buland na jao ke upur se tumhei zindagi ki khushkiyan, us ki musartein haqeer nazar ayen…pachtao gi aik din

This latest installment of Ranjish Hi Sahi fit the bill in every possible way; it was engaging, fast paced, excellently directed and acted out and the dialogues have been written beautifully. Generally people complaint that most dramas with depth lack the entertainment factor needed to make a play more engrossing. For people who think so, Ranjish Hi Sahi is a must watch. It is not depressing or dark either, so that is another plus.

Kamal Hassan like a desperate man would not let Yumna slip away from his life once again. He is like a man who has found something very precious which he had lost years back , his desperation was completely relatable. Yumna’s situation is such that she cannot even think about doing anything that will change the way things are with her and her daughters. She has given her daughters enough love to fill all voids in their lives and has been a strong pillar of support for them. That is the reason why Tooba and Hiba do not feel the need for a father figure in their lives. Kamal confided in Tooba and as a result Tooba even with all her insecurities was willing to support her mother’s decision. It is plain to see that Hiba will not be understanding at all because she cannot share her mother’s love and affection with anyone else except her sister. Maya Ali maybe playing a role similar to the one she has played in many other dramas but I like her in it nevertheless, perhaps because I haven’t followed any of her dramas very religiously. Hiba has met her match and for once the side track romance actually seems appealing. Mohammad Ali (Arsal) has been doing well till now, there are times when his body language is too stiff and his dialogue delivery too flat but he is definitely much better than many other newcomers.

I found the grey shade in Yumna’s hair much more real than what we usually get to see on screen; a thick layer of grey on a few strands as opposed to a the grey shade spread over the entire hair. The scene in the garden was beautifully shot; the vibrant colors along with the combination of green and white were very striking. The only thing that did not quite fit in were Faisal Rehman’s mismatched clothes.

The relationship between Yumna and her daughters has been portrayed very well; the credit for that goes to the writer, director and the actors. I really like the quality of Urdu that we are getting to hear in the play. Faisal Rehman and Samiya Mumtaz’s excellent dialogue delivery just adds to the beauty of the well written dialogues. Sana Javed was a very good choice for playing the role of Tooba, she is very delicate and pleasant looking even though her acting can be a little unconvincing at time but that can be easily overlooked.

Till now this drama does not appear to be anything like the usual A & B productions play. There is no excessive rona dhona or over exaggeration of the becharapan of the main protagonist. No doubt, I feel for Yumna because she must be very tired and in need of a break and some kind of an emotional support, love. But she is not your usual heroine who is lost without her man and cannot look out for herself. The way Hiba holds Yumna accountable went to show that even after raising two children all on her own Yumna does not have the right to take her own decisions. Something which is very true, every mother puts her children’s happiness before her own needs. Even though Yumna keeps on telling Hiba that she expects too much from her but Hiba still feels (like any pampered child) that the only way of showing her affection to her mother is to keep things the way they always have been. The show very aptly shows how difficult it is for a woman to find some happiness for her own self when she has grown up children.

The picture quality of the play has been superb throughout. Overall, the play is a good mix of emotions which are not overly intense but touching nevertheless. I am definitely looking forward to more.
