This drama never disappoints, it actually gets more interesting and engaging with every passing episode. The phenomenal performances by all the actors involved and the realistic scenes transport you to another world. The beautifully etched-out, deep and layered characters which were introduced convincingly in all the previous episodes are now coming into their own. Noori has slowly turned into the most significant character in the story and you can’t help but fall in love with her over and over again. This level-headed, intelligent and sensible girl is only slightly different from the Noori, the viewers were introduced to initially. The way Noori let Nusrat know that he did not fool her was extremely satisfying. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi is turning out to be Noori’s story more than anything else, she is the one who drives the main plot and her journey right now has my undivided attention. Tonight’s episode was hands down the best episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi since it had few of the most important developments to its credit and all of them were shown in the best possible way.

Sahir Is Back For Good

Watching Sahir give Nusrat all those advices and more importantly the way Nusrat trusted him was somewhat ironic. Nusrat thinks that he has found the perfect match for Komal which makes things more interesting than ever. The way Noori caught Nusrat today and the manner in which she decided to tackle this situation made it quite clear to him that he needed another “ally” in the house. Nusrat’s over-dependence on Sahir was quite apparent from their scenes tonight. He not only turns to Sahir for advice but also trusts him completely. The way Sahir left Noori even after she bailed him out said a great deal about his character. Sahir was always a mysterious character, the viewers only saw one side of his character and then the way he judged Noori made you wonder whether he ever really loved Noori. The scenes covering Sahir’s interactions with Nusrat showed that he was much more polished now and Nusrat was clearly clueless about what he wanted to do.

Meaningful Scenes

Every single scene in this episode was meaningful and all these scenes were executed just as impressively as they were written. Bhola’s growing attachment and dependence on his dulhan was shown right from the beginning. His anger and anxiety increased every time Noori did not give him enough time or attention. The viewers were gradually shown all this and in the end when Bhola hit his chachi, it made perfect sense! This was his way of ‘protecting’ Noori because he felt that Chachi had disturbed her. This scene was directed brilliantly.

Chachi’s conversations with her husband also added something tangible to the story. While she was sharing ‘good news’, her husband felt more insecure and scared. He obviously does not want Bhola to get well. The scene in which Noori read the cheque and all the scenes which covered how Noori dealt with this situation were outstanding. Fehmida’s innocence, Noori’s confidence and intelligence and Nusrat’s shaken confidence was translated on screen impeccably by all the actors involved. The dialogues and these situations were written and directed in the most superb manner possible. Noori made sure that Nusrat knew he was in trouble. Also, when she quickly figured out that her mother-in-law trusted Nusrat blindly she decided to do something practically to keep her from relying on him instead of telling her the truth. This move by Noori once again showed how good she was at problem-solving. Noori has faced many difficult situations so far but every time she comes out stronger and more determined than ever. Her biggest challenge is yet to come, it will be great watching her find her way out of what is coming ahead.

Overall Impression

I don’t have the words to express my love for this drama. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi is a classic which will be remembered for a really long time. Imran Ashraf’s mind-blowing performance has given him a new identity. This drama has given all those real people like Bhola a new identity as well, it changes the opinion of the viewers about every individual who has such challenges. Next time I see a person like Bhola on the streets or anywhere at all, I will understand and empathize with him more than I ever did before. The fact that team Ranjha Ranjha Kardi has managed to change people’s perspective without being preachy is the best part of this drama. Iqra Aziz has breathed life in a really complex role by owning it completely. Her outstanding performance was the highlight of this episode. Asma Abbas makes her role even more likable and Kashif Mehmood’s acting has also been solid throughout. Syed Jibran doesn’t give much away about his character which makes you look forward to knowing more about Sahir.

The Preview

The preview of the next episode was very enticing. Nusrat will bring Sahir home but it seems like he will not see Noori in the next episode. The scene covering chacha’s hospital visit with Bhola caught my attention more than any other. He is definitely playing games and he must have contributed to making Bhola’s condition worse. Noori does not trust Nusrat any more, she will start questioning him now and sooner or later she will figure everything out. The actual story has just started and this drama will only get more interesting now.

Do share your thoughts about this episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi.

Tonight’s episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi highlighted beautifully the challenges faced by both Noori and Bhola. These scenes were powerful and poignant. Even with all her strength and determination there were times when Noori found it difficult to fulfill the promise she made to Ama Janate and herself too. While Bhola is completely incapable of understanding why he cannot live a ‘normal’ life like everyone else around him, Noori understands these complications only too well. Noori’s strengths, unfulfilled dreams, her perspective and the will to go on was shown brilliantly in this episode. Iqra Aziz and Imran Ashraf’s phenomenal performances have definitely made their characters easier to connect to.

The Ups And Downs

This episode opened with a scene which showed that Noori was in complete control of her life but as the story progressed things changed drastically. When Noori and Bhola talked about whether Noori was happy or not, Noori’s dialogues were written so well. These meaningful dialogues gave the viewers an insight into Noori’s mindset. She was focusing on counting her blessings – on being thankful! Just when Noori thought this frame of mind will help her get through her situation, Bhola wanted more! Noori’s outburst and Bhola’s reaction was covered in the most realistic manner. Instead of showing that from here onward, things were going to go perfectly smoothly for Noori, the writer showed that Noori’s test had just started. Noori and Bhola’s relationship, their ups and downs couldn’t have been shown in a more convincing manner.

Meaningful Conversations

Apart from Bhola and Noori’s scenes, this episode also had quite a few meaningful conversations which showed what Bhola’s chacha is planning. He wants to be financially independent and for that he needs a lot of money. When his wife asked him where all this money was going to come from, he had no answer. His insecurities and fears were also reflected through the conversation he had with his wife. He does not want Bhola to have children because he knows Bhola is not a threat but if he has normal children, they will be a big threat to him. The conversation between Sahir and the chacha also suggested that he might do something extreme to get his hands on the money he needs.

Favorite Scenes

The scene covering Noori’s frustration and Bhola’s retaliation after having the conversation about having children was one of the best scenes in this episode. The scene which showed Noori thinking about the time she spent with Sahir which was followed by Bhola reassuring her of his love was also beautifully put together. The opening scene in which Noori and Komal had a heart-to-heart conversation was another well written scene. Noori wanting to teach the neighbour’s children was also the highlight of this episode.

Overall Impression

The stellar performances and a well-chosen cast has definitely added to the beauty of this drama. The background score was used effectively in this episode and the camerawork was impressive. The writer’s approach has been realistic throughout which is the main reason why every scene resonates with you. Sahir is back and it seems like he will be playing an important role in furthering chacha’s business plans. The preview of the next episode showed Noori noticing the ‘mistake’ in the cheque which her mother in law was about to sign. Will the chacha start seeing Noori as big threat too after this? Will her mother in law start trusting and depending on her more? I am also waiting to see how the story unfolds once Sahir and Noori come face to face.

Do share your thoughts about this episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi.

This was the kind of episode you watch with a smile on your face and a tear or two in your eyes. It was emotional as well as enjoyable. Noori has found a purpose in life and since she was always been someone who loved finding solutions to the most difficult problems therefore she will definitely do whatever she can to make things better for Bhola and his mother. This episode belonged to Noori who took Ama Janate’s advice very seriously and decided to accept Bhola for who he was. Noori’s biggest strength has been her determination and this time she is determined to make this relationship work. Faiza Iftikhar’s heroines are always strong women who most often take the lead in a relationship and Noori is the same too. The spell-binding performances made the emotional scenes even more poignant. Asma Abbas translated a mother’s love in the most apt manner possible. She shares such an amazing on screen chemistry with all her co-actors. Iqra Aziz has translated Noori’s character faultlessly on screen. Imran Ashraf’s performance continues to be impressive and Bhola’s character has been etched-out superbly too. Kashif Nisar’s intelligent direction definitely made this episode an absolute delight to watch.

The Power Of Kindness

Noori’s changed attitude towards Bhola turned things around for him. It showed how sensitive Bhola is because he immediately felt the change in Noori’s behavior and was more than willing to return the kindness. Noori and Bhola’s growing relationship was shown very realistically. While Bhola was more than willing to do a few things to please his dulhan, there were also times when he was not too eager to follow whatever Noori asked him to do. Bhola’s ‘love’ for his good for nothing friends is one of the many realistic traits of his personality. Noori is an intelligent girl who knows how to handle Bhola, sometimes with love and at other times by threatening him of dire consequences. It was great watching Noori being her old self, she was driven, enthusiastic and in control. Bhola and Noori’s scenes together were written and acted out so well. Kashif Nisar deserves all the credit for making these scenes pleasing to watch.

Heart-warming Relationships

Noori and Bhola’s relationship with Fehmida is the most heart-warming aspect of this drama. All the scenes covering how happy and satisfied Fehmida was now were the most satisfying scenes in this episode. Asma Abbas translated a mother’s feelings superbly on screen. Although Rizwana kept on telling her how wrong it was for Bhola to share private details of his married life with his mother, she insisted she wanted to know more. This was one of the cutest scenes in this episode. I loved the way Noori asked her that question about Bhola. Fehmida’s answer to that question suggested that Bhola always had learning disabilities but the biggest change in his personality came after a prolonged illness. There is still some mystery surrounding this track and there is definitely more to it. Chacha’s interest in Bhola’s private affairs suggested that he had his eyes on his assets. Although Chachi cannot stand Bhola and she most certainly cannot see Fehmida happy but she is never able to understand what is going on in her husband’s mind. Noori and Bhola’s friends’ encounter was one of the most amusing scenes in this episode.

Sahir Is Back!

The preview of the next episode showed that the chacha has saved enough money to start a business of his own and it seems like Sahir is going to be playing an important role in this new venture. Sahir will eventually make his way to their house as well and that is when he will see Noori there. Fehmida has absolutely no clue about Noori’s actual background therefore it remains to be seen how she will react once she finds out the truth. Fehmida trusted her brother in law with all her money and she trusted Ama Janate too. Once Sahir is back in the picture, the story will move to a different direction.

Overall Impression

With this episode the story moved to the next phase. All the latest developments were covered perfectly. The performances never cease to impress and the script has so much to offer. This episode was well-paced and engaging. Looking forward to the next episode.

Do share your thoughts about this episode.

This was yet another beautiful episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi which was quite contrary to everyone’s expectations. This drama never seizes to surprise its viewers and is always thoroughly entertaining. With this episode Noori decided to follow Ama Janate’s advice which means that from now on she will be interested in finding out more about Bhola and perhaps try to ‘fix’ things too.

Surprising development

The fact that Rizwana was not turned into an evil character was the most refreshing and surprising development. The reasoning she gave made perfect sense and later on the idea to frame Bhola was also her husband’s. She did all this out of jealousy- nothing more and nothing less. She was obviously not thinking straight at that time and if it wasn’t for her husband’s support, she wouldn’t have thought of a way to get out of this situation. The way her husband took advantage of Bhola’s innocence showed yet again what he was capable of doing. Fehmida completely trusts them both and couldn’t even imagine that they could do something like that. Rizwana’s expressions and this entire development was covered perfectly.

Ama Janate & Noori

Ama Janate suspected Noori because she still didn’t have faith in her. I felt for Noori tonight more than any other character. Her relationship with Ama Janate is so beautiful and for the first time she has completely surrendered to Ama Janate’s will. Later on, the remorse Ama Janate felt was also shown superbly. Every single scenario was covered in detail without dragging the scenes. Noori never imagined getting married to anyone other than Sahir therefore watching her think about Sahir on her wedding day was so relatable. Ama Janate’s final advice to Noori turned out to be a turning point.

Noori & Bhola

Bhola’s fascination with Noori is growing even though he knows that Noori is not very fond of him. Bhola was shown constantly touching his nose and mouth which made it easier to understand why someone like Noori wouldn’t let him near her. The wedding scene was meaningful as well as amusing. Bhola’s mother’s struggle to keep him away from his wife and Noori’s body language was the best thing about this scene. In the last scene, Noori touched Bhola’s feet which basically meant that she was going to do whatever it took to accept Bhola for who he was. Bhola and Noori’s scenes were the highlight of this episode. Their track has a great deal to offer. Fehmida’s love for Noori and her wish to see her son happy will drive her to support Noori in every way possible. Komal’s relationship with Bhola and Noori both makes her one of the most likeable characters in this play. Komal is innocent and loving and her love for Bhola is unconditional.

Overall Impression

The writer’s keen observation showed in every single scene tonight. She has especially done tremendously well when it comes to showing the challenges families (in this case a mother) go through when they have a child like Bhola. Although some of Bhola’s scenes in every episode are hilarious but the situations are never insensitive in any way. These scenes make you fall in love with the character even more, you laugh and cry with Bhola as you get to know him more with every passing episode. The emotional impact of these scenes outweighs everything else. Imran Ashraf’s sheer brilliance and dedication as an actor showed in all those beautifully moving scenes tonight which were effortlessly engaging. Iqra Aziz’s performance tonight was equally captivating and effortless. Iqra Aziz has translated Noori’s emotional fragility and her will to go on perfectly. Asma Abbas’ performance throughout has been heartfelt and touching – this has to be one of her best performances. The engrossing and poignant narrative coupled with Kashif Nisar’s impeccable direction makes Ranjha Ranjha Kardi an impressively crafted play.

The preview of the next episode was extremely enticing. Komal’s track it seems is also going to move to another direction in the next episode. Will Sahir make a comeback sooner than we thought? I can’t wait to find out.

Do share your thoughts about this amazing episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi.

Touching, powerful, beautiful and engaging – tonight’s episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was simply flawless. This drama has the most amazing characters and it has so much to offer to its viewers. All the different tracks in the story are somehow interrelated and there is a constant conflict in the life of all these characters. In these 13 weeks, the viewers have witnessed these characters going through so much yet it is impossible to predict how they will behave in a certain situation. The writer, director and all the actors involved have given this drama their 100 percent because of which it is turning out to be one of those few plays which raise the bar really high.

Bhola and Noori – A Complete Mismatch

All the scenes covering Bhola and Noori’s track were written and executed brilliantly. Some of these scenes were really amusing especially because of the way Bhola showed his dislike for his new dulhan and the manner in which he tried to explain to her who his friend was. Bhola and Noori both are such finely drawn characters and the performances by both these actors leave you in awe of their talent. Imran Ashraf particularly is beyond impressive as Bhola and Iqra Aziz has translated Noori’s frustration, anger and helplessness so well on screen. Kashif Nisar’s skillful direction has definitely added to the charm since he never overdramatizes any situation and he also keeps the scenes short. While Bhola had a really difficult time understanding why Noori was so cold, he easily got distracted as well. The scenes which showed how hurt he felt when she pushed him away were extremely poignant. Noori on the other hand has a really difficult time accepting the fact that Ama Janate got her married to someone like Bhola. Noori treats Bhola like an unwanted annoying child. When she needs him to do something for her, she tries to convince him nicely but she certainly has no patience for him. I absolutely loved the scene covering how and why Noori decides to go with Bhola to see his friends. In this scene the viewers got to see the Noori we all fell in love with. The meeting disturbed her a lot and it looked like she was already preparing herself for the worse. Faiza Iftikhar’s heroines are never victims no matter what they go through and it seems like Noori too will be a fighter. She is a wise and practical girl who knows that she has nowhere else to go therefore she is doing whatever she can in order to make her stay in this house more ‘bearable’.

More Trouble For Noori

Noori has already been through so much but what Rizwana did today and the preview of the next episode clearly suggested that she will have to go through much more. It looks like Noori’s past is never going to leave her for good and even Ama Janate will suspect her of stealing the jewelry. Rizwana has been shown as a negative character throughout and until the previous episode, I thought that she was selfish but harmless. Did she steal that necklace because she felt tempted or was it because she wanted Fehmida to start doubting Noori? This was the first time that Rizwana was shown doing something which basically proved that she was capable of stooping really low. It makes me wonder what else she has done in the past to disrupt Fehmida’s peace. She cannot see Bhola or Fehmida happy – it is almost as if she is convinced that they don’t deserve to be happy. Munazzah Arif is such a fine actress, her performances are always effortless.

Ama Janate’s Visit

The warm welcome Ama Janate got and the way Noori met her – all of it was covered so well. Asma Abbas is such a phenomenal actress, she has amazing on-screen chemistry with all her co-stars and her acting is so spontaneous. Ama Janate was seriously concerned about Noori and noticed every little thing. Fehmida is always more conscious and apologetic when she is around.

Overall impression

The dialogues and the conversations tonight were extremely engaging as well as relatable. The writer’s approach is commendable – she is not trying to lecture the viewers in any way but she wants the viewers to enjoy her characters and their journeys. The attention to detail is superb since there are absolutely no loopholes and every single aspect of the drama has been shown in complete clarity. Many words tonight were muted in this episode, I am wondering what these words were since the dialogues have been written so well throughout. Tonight’s episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was another phenomenal episode and it looks like things will only get more interesting from here on. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi has won me over completely and I highly recommend it to all those viewers who like quality entertainment.

Bhola and Noori finally met tonight and this meeting couldn’t have been covered in a more apt manner. Bhola’s ‘love’ for his dulhan, Noori’s feelings for Bhola and most importantly the way Bhola felt rejected repeatedly was the best part of this episode. Bhola’s relationship with his mother and the way she protects him is the most heart-warming aspect of this drama. Their scenes have been written and executed flawlessly. This latest episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi had some of the most phenomenal performances we have seen on television in recent times. This episode also had few of the most beautiful as well as upsetting situations we have seen in this drama so far. Iqra Aziz’s outstanding performance tonight was the highlight of this episode. Imran Ashraf never ceases to impress and every single character in this play leaves an impression on you in some way or the other. Kashif Nisar’s skillful direction shone out in so many scenes tonight. The direction and editing of this drama has been perfect throughout.

Noori’s Practical Approach

Noori could not stand Bhola but she was fascinated by everything in her new house. Noori’s tour of the house, her expressions when she touched all those ‘clean’ beautiful things showed that she definitely liked her surroundings. Bhola’s dialogues clearly indicated that Noori already had a close bond with her mother in law and had decided that she was going to spend most of her time with her. Iqra Aziz’s expressions and body language along with the little details which were covered so well made her scenes a treat to watch. Noori’s love for cleanliness and her disgust towards Bhola showed that she was back to being her normal self. She answered all of Rizwana’s questions wisely without getting herself or Ama Janate into trouble in any way. This is only the start and there is so much more that Noori will have to face in the upcoming episodes. I am eagerly looking forward to watching how her journey unfolds since Noori is not the kind of woman who will give up under any circumstances. Watching Komal talk to Noori about her college made me wonder if Noori too will get a chance to study in the future.

Bhola’s Confusion

Bhola was expecting something completely different from this marriage therefore he had no idea why his dulhan did not smile and was so upset with him all the time. Noori decided to keep a safe distance from Bhola and did whatever she could to make sure that he does not feel comfortable around her. The scene in which Bhola offered her the pan was simply brilliant. The way he got scared and started crying was extremely poignant. This was the kind of scene that stays with you. Imran Ashraf’s riveting performance coupled with the way these scenes were written made these scenes impactful. Bhola decided to show his friends his Dulhan’s pictures and they recognized her instantly. Noori thought she had left her past behind but it seems like her past will come to haunt her very soon.

The Positive Characters

I absolutely love Bhola’s conversations with his mother. The scene in which she tried to lecture him before he went to meet Noori was so meaningful. Asma Abbas translated a mother’s fears and her love beautifully on screen. Her character is so positive and strong at the same time. She has dealt with so much in all these years yet she has nothing but love to give to his son and even to Noori now. The way her eyes lit up when she saw Noori and got mehndi made especially for her showed that she valued her. Komal is another character in this play who always puts a smile on my face. She is also Bhola’s well-wisher who tries to add as much ‘normalcy’ in his life as possible.

Overall Impression

Like every other episode of this drama, this one too was perfectly put together. Every scene added to the story in some way and was meaningful. The dedication and honesty with which this unusual yet appealing story has been told reflects in all the scenes. I felt for all the characters tonight – Noori, Bhola and Bhola’s mother. You can’t help but root for all these wonderful people who deserve better and are trying to make things better for themselves and each other. Right now, I am more interested in knowing how Noori will face everything that comes her way. Her character has so much going for it. Faiza Iftikhar’s script has been meaningful and engaging. Kashif Nisar never disappoints and the leading actors deserve an award for their mind-blowing performances.

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi Episode 11 Story Review – This latest episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi had more of Bhola than any other character. All the scenes covering Bhola showed a different aspect of his life. The helpless and dejected Noori the viewers saw in the previous episode is gradually fading away and by the end of this episode, Noori finally reacted to everything which was happening to her. This episode also had some of the most solid performances to its credit. Imran Ashraf deserves tons of praise for translating an extremely difficult character effortlessly on screen. He has brought Bhola to life in the best way possible. Iqra Aziz acted brilliantly tonight, her expressions and body language especially in the scene at the mazar were superb. The downside of this episode was that Noori and Bhola did not meet, something which everyone was eagerly looking forward to.

Realistic Situations

The best part of this drama is that every single situation has been written down and executed in such a realistic manner. Tonight’s episode opened with an upsetting event. The people Bhola calls his friends are actually bullies who enjoy making fun of Bhola. These were the same men who Noori met when she came looking for Sahir, once they see Noori’s picture they will recognize her. It is really common for people like Bhola to be bullied in the insensitive manner in which Bhola got bullied tonight and the fact that Bhola considered these people his friends definitely resonated with me. Having ‘friends’ is normal and saying that these people are his friends makes Bhola feel like he is like everyone else. This incident also showed that Bhola did not like who he was which is why he did not want his dulhan to be like him. Even though there were a lot of scenes later on which showed a more funny side of Bhola’s character yet I felt for him in every single scene. The chacha giving sleeping pills to get him off his back was a really important scene. Did his mother know that Bhola was being given these pills? Bhola’s chacha is a suspicious character right from day one since he is a little too calculating and he never really shows what is going on in his mind. Bhola’s dialogues about what his chacha said to him when his father died were also meaningful. Bhola is afraid of  losing people ever since then and even though he hasn’t even met his dulhan, he is afraid he might lose her. Bhola’s attempts to do what normal people do and to be like them makes you feel for his character.

Noori’s Growing Confusion and Anger

Noori’s state of mind was shown brilliantly in this episode. When her groom did not turn up on the wedding night, Noori was confused and the toys in the room confused her even more. Although, Komal did say Bhola Bhai in front of her  but Noori it seems did not hear that so even now she has no idea who is her husband. The scene at the mazar was one of my favorite scenes in this episode since it showed a side of her character which has been repeatedly been asserted in all the episodes. Noori’s hatred for everything dirty was the one side of character which stood out more than any other when her character was introduced therefore the fact that the visit to the mazar made her so upset was relatable. Iqra Aziz’s overall look has always been right on point in this drama. Tonight for the first time Noori wore nicely stitched pretty clothes and she looked completely different. Noori however has never been shown as someone who wanted to get married to someone rich so that she could afford better clothes and jewelry. But the overall look went well with this new change in her life. Iqra Aziz’s expressions were spot on in the scene at the mazar and in the last scene of this episode.

Overall Impression

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi is an exceptional play with some amazing performances which leave you spellbound. Imran Ashraf has already proved his mettle as an actor but he has surely outdone himself this time around. This drama however is a game changer for Iqra Aziz who is getting a chance to showcase her true talent for the first time. Noori and Bhola both are deep and layered character, I am waiting to see them both together in the upcoming episodes. All the performances tonight were faultless and like every other episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi all the scenes were short and to the point. Asma Abbas is such a remarkable actress, I especially love her in this role. It is always great watching a drama in which the entire team has put in their best efforts.

How many of you watched this poignant and entertaining episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi? I am eagerly looking forward to the next episode because next week Noori will finally find out that Bhola is her husband – waiting to see her reaction.

Do share your thoughts.

Tonight’s episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was fast paced, exciting and engaging throughout. Bhola and Noori’s union was expected but no one was expecting it to happen this soon. The promos of this play have been put together so intelligently, they are always dodgy and pique your curiosity. This episode was written, acted-out and directed flawlessly. Every character in this play is well defined and interesting. Every conversation and each scene adds something to the story which makes this drama a must-watch.

Unexpected Developments

Noori and Ama Janate’s conversation tonight, revealed a different side of Noori’s character. For the first time Noori was clueless and she did not have a plan. This softer yet equally determined side of Noori’s personality was just as appealing as all of her other character traits. Iqra Aziz translated Noori confusion as well as her curiosity superbly on screen. Everything happened too fast primarily because Ama Janate knew only too well that she did not have enough time. Ama Janate told half-truths to convince Fehmida because she knew that Noori will be safe in this house and there was no other way out. The most interesting aspect of this unexpected development was that neither Noori nor Bhola knew who they were getting married to. Am I the only one who paused to think about Noori and Bhola’s previous meetings. Even though Bhola was dirty, hungry or inappropriate whenever they met but Noori always enjoyed his company in some way or the other. Noori’s obsession with cleanliness has been highlighted over and over again. Similarly, Bhola’s love for dirt and his mother’s constant attempts to keep him clean has also been shown in many scenes. While Noori and Bhola are opposites in this respect, they also have a lot of similarities. The writer has intelligently highlighted these similarities and differences in all these episodes and now that these two are officially together, it remains to be seen if their restless souls will find comfort in one another or it will be the other way around. Their union has made the story even more interesting since these beautiful characters will be seen together now in every episode.

The Reactions

Kashif Nisar and Faiza Iftikhar both pay great attention to detail therefore even though what happened tonight was a total and complete surprise, it was all shown in an extremely convincing manner. The reactions to the nikkah were also shown in a subtle manner. Noori was hesistant for obvious reasons but she knew she had to do this. Ama Janate was relieved when she signed the papers but the chacha was not happy. Bhola’s chacha definitely has a bigger role to play in the picture, I am waiting to see what it is. Komal’s reaction was my favorite. The bond she shares with Bhola is special, she is the only person besides Fehmida who loves Bhola and does not judge him. Bhola’s reaction was the most amusing one. All the dialogues and situations covering his character were written and acted out brilliantly. Imran Ashraf has completely nailed this character. Asma Abbas deserves a lot of appreciation for translating a mother’s struggles flawlessly. Imran Ashraf and Asma Abbas also share amazing on-screen chemistry which makes their scenes even more realistic.

Overall Impression

This was the kind of episode which leaves you with a million questions. How will Noori react when she finds out who her husband is? The performances tonight were outstanding as usual and Faiza Iftikhar’s script continues to impress. Kashif Nisar is such an exceptional director, he always gives every script the right treatment. The preview of the next episode was equally interesting.

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi Episode 1 Story Review – This first episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was captivating and fast-paced. Most viewers were expecting this to be Bhola’s (Imran Ashraf) story more than Noori’s but tonight episode focused entirely on Noori. This was surprising but the character was introduced brilliantly. Kashif Nisar’s direction coupled with Faiza Iftikhar’s screenplay was nothing short of brilliance, not a single scene dragged and the attention to detail was impressive.

Noori – The Headstrong and Determined Protagonist

In this first episode every single trait of Noori’s (Iqra Aziz) character along with her back story was covered superbly. Noori was shown as a misfit in her family and also someone who was lucky enough to meet a mentor who changed the course of her life. Although Noori learned to read and write but her basic mannerism remained somewhat the same. Even though Noori hated the kind of people her parents and siblings were yet she was a lot like them in so many ways even though she was a lot more educated than them. Noori’s “wild” nature was the most obvious trait of her personality. Amma Janate started teaching her basic mannerism right from day one but Noori’s sole concentration was on learning how to excel in her studies and she obviously did not take all the other advice very seriously. Noori and her mentor’s relationship was heart-warming although I do feel that the actress playing Ama Janate’s role did not emote very well. Noori’s back story was shown right from the time when she was a little girl while she sat in the train frightened and worried – it looked like she was running away from somewhere. Noori is a girl who has big dreams but it seems like her dreams will be shattered. Noori’s spirit and most importantly her pride stayed pretty much intact even when she was in the train. Ama Janate’s dialogues about Noori’s pride were meaningful, will Noori learn all these lessons the hard way?

Favorite Scenes

My favorite scenes from this episode were the ones which covered Noori’s time in the haveli. The way she looked around in wonder and awe when she entered the haveli said a great deal about what was going on in her mind. Noori could not believe the fact that she was getting so much respect, she was bring served in clean beautiful dishes and she was even allowed to go to the kitchen! That one scene in particular in which Noori looked at the glass was exceptional. Iqra Aziz’s expressions in this scene and her performance overall tonight definitely fit the bill. Iqra Aziz definitely stepped out of her comfort zone to do justice to this character and translated the different shades of her character realistically on screen.

Overall Impression

This first episode as a whole was impactful. Syed Jibran’s character was introduced in the end and he got very little screen time but his dialogues clearly indicated what his intentions were. Although Noori thinks she is clever but she was naive enough to instantly trust this man and was even attracted by all the things he had in his shop. All the shades of Noori’s personality were quite clear from different scenes. Noori’s journey has my undivided attention after watching this first episode and I am looking forward to watching Bhola in the next episode. The dialogues in this first episode were simple yet meaningful and the screenplay was truly impressive. The camerawork and editing couldn’t have been better. The only disappointing aspect was that Bhola was not introduced in this episode, otherwise it couldn’t have been better.
