“Jub dil ka darwaza khul jaye tu chahney wale wapas aa hi jate hei” This episode of Dil Lagi focused on the aftermath of what transpired between Mohid and Anmol but this time around the viewers got to see the reaction from Anmol’s mother after she found out about the lies Anmol had been telling Mohid. Interestingly enough this episode was like a rerun of the discussion under the Dil Lagi review last week. Anmol voiced the opinion of those who sided with her, Anmol’s mother said everything which viewers who thought there was no reason to feel for Anmol said and Mohid did not plead his case at all but he once again pleaded Anmol’s case by saying that perhaps the way he asked her the question wasn’t appropriate. This proves the fact yet again that all the viewers understand these characters and always find it easy to connect to them from some perspective or the other.

Anmol once again is trying harder than ever to follow her mind and not her heart. This time around doing so is even more tough because she has fallen in love with Mohid. Anmol’s meeting with Mohid when she was on her way to see the lawyer was one of the best scenes of tonight’s episode. The dialogues and the way this scene was directed reminded me of the times when Mohid fell in love with Anmol and was trying to win her over. The big difference now is that Mohid is convinced that Anmol loves her, he can see it in her eyes but he doesn’t want her to feel defeated. Also, when Anmol calls him back after he turns to go away went to show that she did not want Mohid to give up on her, on this relationship! In the previous episode Zulekha was shown supporting Anmol and in this episode Anmol’s mother supported Mohid.

“un ka dil aap ki wakalat krta hai”…this dialogue was spot on! We have seen Mohid justifying Anmol’s unreasonable behaviour more than once. Even in this episode he was looking at things from Anmol’s perspective and justifying her actions. Just when I thought Mishal and Dastagir were not playing their roles as the “supporting characters” they did just that by doing whatever they could to once again convince Anmol how wrong she was about Mohid. Mishal stepped in and said something which was clearly shocking for Anmol when her mother was shouting at her for giving her husband a reason to doubt her. Mishal knows Mohid better than anyone else because she heard his response more than once when she proposed that he should deal with Anmol differently.

“Adhay rastay se wapas lot aye. Mera apne faislo pe se etmad khatam hota ja raha hai.” Anmol has a big ego, she will always expect more from Mohid because it isn’t easy for someone like her to submit to her feelings therefore she will always need Mohid to keep on assuring her that he is worth it. Anmol is also extremely afraid of getting hurt which is why she is more angry with herself right now than with anyone else. Will she ever change? Even though she loves Mohid but she still continues to judge him at every step. She wants him to suffer and try harder to prove that he deserves her love, that she can trust him. Anmol’s character is complicated but perfectly etched-out. Everything she does has Anmol written all over it. Mehwish Hayat is absolutely flawless as Anmol even though it is not an easy character to translate on screen.

“Apne ghur ke darwazay kabhi band nahi hotey” was another dialogue which went to show what a big heart Mohid had. Mohid’s character is that of an intelligent man who puts his relationships above everything else; Hamayun Saeed has definitely nailed this character. It is also good to see mothers for a change who can look at things neutrally and at the end of the day all they want is their children’s happiness. Zulekha for example was not very keen on bringing Anmol back because of her “kari shart” in the beginning of this episode but later on when Mohid was going to see Anmol, she was happy. Saba Hameed’s acting and dress sense both are remarkable in this drama.

“Beghairat aur bezameer insan ko kabhi underestimate nahi krna chahyeh.” Mohid’s meeting with Kafayat Ali once again hinted that he was capable of doing anything to get what he wanted done. How many of you think that killing Mohid in the end would be a good ending? I definitely want this drama to end on a happy note because we have seen Mohid and Anmol suffering for too long. Mohid deserves a happy ending and this would be the only way for Anmol to start a new life which might give her a reason to trust people more and judge them less!

Do share your thoughts about tonight’s episode and don’t forget to share what kind of an ending would you like to see. Looking forward to your feedback.

“Aur janti hei yeh akhri hud kya hoti hai? Yeh akhri hud hi tu khudgurzi hoti hai. Wo aulad ko sukh bhi apni murzi ka dena chahti hei. Us ke dil ka sochti hi nahi!!” Dil Lagi has amazing dialogues, power-packed performances, beautiful direction and intriguing characters to its credit. The unpredictable twists and turns in this drama have always kept my interest alive. The conversations between Sabiha and Anmol had to be my favorite part of tonight’s episode. Anmol saw Sabiha crying in her weakest moment therefore it didn’t take her too long to say what was in her heart. Sabiha was clearly surprised to see that even someone like her strong and fearless bhabi had a reason to cry. For Sabiha this conversation was like a new introduction of Anmol. Just like Sabiha, Anmol feels that her mother is not supporting her the way she should and that is because both these ladies and their mothers don’t see eye to eye for obvious reasons. Although Sabiha and Anmol’s situations are completely different yet there is a good reason why these two connected in this episode. “Zarurat se ziada unche aur mehfooz qillay, qillay nahi rehte qaid khane bun jate hei.” Sabiha thinks that having a husband like Mohid makes a woman secure since such a man will never let go of his wife no matter unlike her husband who is too scared of her brother. Anmol on the other hand never wanted a dominating man in her life therefore when she had to take this desperate step only because of a man who won’t let her live her life she felt like a prisoner and not a happy bride with a strong husband who will make her feel protected.

Anmol’s mother avoids confrontations but she has raised not one but two daughters who are very gutsy. On the other hand Sabiha is a submissive woman who will do anything to make her marriage work but her mother believes that a woman does not need a man in her life and even if she does it can be any man at all – her theory is that there are plenty of fish in the sea therefore Sabiha does not need to cry for a man who does not deserve her. Anmol’s mother makes it clear in this episode that she was not going to welcome her in her house if she does not work on her marriage. Anmol’s reaction to what her mother did to her went to show that she genuinely thought she was justified in doing all this and she wanted her mother to understand that.

Although I don’t agree with the way Anmol is fighting this battle but it is definitely refreshing to see a woman who does not take a U-turn on the night of her wedding (remember Mannu!). At least she is sticking to her initial plan and her priorities did not change the second Mohid became her husband. Anmol is not desperate and she is not swayed away from this man’s money or charm. She has so much hatred in her heart that it will take a lot of time for her to feel anything other than hatred for the man she married. Anmol wants Mohid to hate her because it was his love for her which changed her life forever and made her feel like she wasn’t in control of her life. Anmol can easily make this marriage work because Mohid will do anything to make her happy but the way she feels about this man will never allow her to do that until those feelings change.

Mohid’s mother’s character continues to be an interesting character. The dialogue about the maids taking too long while saying their Zuhr prayers was hilarious – I am sure many women could relate to that. She made it very clear in tonight’s episode that she was not going to let Sabiha go back to her husband. While Anmol’s mother is justified in not supporting her daughter, Mohid’s mother is just being unfair to her daughter. Sabiha does not want something outlandish like Anmol but she just wants to live with her husband. Her mother and brother are strong enough to make sure that her husband never hurts her physically again therefore Sabiha’s mother can ensure she is safe even when she is living with her husband but now it looks like this isn’t about Sabiha’s safety and she is not looking out for her but she is only satisfying her own ego and wants to prove a point. Also, there was mention of a promise as well.

Anmol’s plan to use Fareed to make Mohid jealous has taken a very interesting turn! This latest development was the most unpredictable and exciting part of this episode which made me look forward to where this part of the story will go from here. Mohid promised Anmol that he will get her married with the love of her life, which is something that will create new problems for Anmol but give rise to some very interesting situations. The “asman se gir kr khajoor mei atak jau gi” reference was spot on! Mehwish Hayat yet again was brilliant in this episode. I have never liked her this much in any other drama. Hamayun Saeed makes me feel for his character – I definitely want Mohid to win this battle!! Asma Abbas, Saba Hameed, Uzma Hassan and the actress playing Anmol’s sister’s role are all doing complete justice to their characters. Asma Abbas and Saba Hameed are fast becoming my most favorite actors since they take up different kinds of roles and always manage to excel in them.

The dialogues in this drama are extremely powerful and brand new. I haven’t even heard some of the words which were used in this episode especially by Sabiha’s mother when she tells her she will get her a divorce and find someone else for her. The direction of this play has been top-notch right from the beginning. The make-up artist has also done a commendable job. Dil Lagi is a very different take on the usual one-sided love stories which make it an interesting play.

Just like all the previous episodes of Dil Lagi, this one too made me sympathize with almost all the characters in some way or the other. The way all these characters plead their cases (the conversation between Mohid and Anmol on their valima night) and the manner in which different aspects of their characters have been translated on screen makes it very easy for the viewers to understand why these characters are the way they are. Also, there are no villains or good guys in this play, that is what makes it even more interesting. You’re not sure how you would feel about a character after watching a certain episode. Although Mohid and Anmol are in what can be easily termed as a state of war but this war isn’t like any other war since it is difficult to decide who’s side you want to be on. While watching all the other plays which revolve around dysfunctional marriages it is usually easier to put the blame on one party but that is most certainly not the case here. Mohid truly did back out and he realized it was not possible to win people by using force long before Anmol decided to take this extreme step to teach him a lesson. Anmol is justified in making his life hell because she believes that he did not keep his word. Sabiha loves her husband and is willing to forgive him therefore although she is the only weak woman in this play but one does feel for her because she is not free to live her life the way she wants. Zulekha’s stance was right because she did not want her daughter to live with a man who did not give her the respect she deserved but now it seems like she is just being stubborn. It is ironic that someone like Zulekha who is all for women who do not let men rule over their lives has a bahu like Anmol!! Even with all the lectures she gives to women about their rights, she cannot seem to overcome the typical thinking which governs these relationships when it comes to dealing with her own bahu.

This episode opened with Anmol asking the housekeeper to finish her story, while she was enjoying listening to the interesting and never ending twists and turns, she had no idea that the maid had written Mohid’s name on her palm! This scene was shot flawlessly. Mehwish Hayat’s acting in this whole episode and this scene in particular was amazing – loved the timing of her reaction and the way she desperately tried to erase that name off  of her hand. It also indicated that it won’t be that easy for Anmol to get rid of Mohid now that he was a permanent part of his life.

The scene between Dastagir and Mishaal was one of my most favorite scenes in tonight’s episode. It is good to see a character like that of Dastagir on screen which is both comic and very witty! Loved the answer he gave to Mishaal, it left her speechless. Imran Ashraf should definitely do more such roles.

The conversation between Mohid and Anmol on the night of their valima was very well written like always but it was too long and slightly repetitive. Anmol and Mohid both have said these things to each other over and over again. This particular conversation would have had more of an impact if it was short. The last few lines were definitely very touching and deep but the first few dialogues were the same as those which we heard in the previous two episodes as well. The timing of the OST was perfect in this particular scene which helped the viewers understand what Mohid was going through. It seemed like Anmol was a little scared too while this conversation was taking place and later on when they were sleeping. Mehwish Hayat looked stunning in the valima scene. The stylist and the make-up artists deserves due credit for giving her some very different and appealing makeovers.

Saba Hameed was exceptional as usual although some of her scenes were very typical. Everything she said to Anmol’s mother every time she saw her was very typical and it made it seem like she was desperately trying to put her down. When Sabiha entered the room and Anmol’s mother started questions about her, the mood of the conversation and Zulekha’s attitude changed altogether. That is what makes this drama different, in any other drama this scene wouldn’t have ended like this!

Anmol devised yet another plan to make Mohid miserable. She seemed somewhat disappointed when he did not mention what he had heard and didn’t seem effected by it either. The preview of the next episode suggested that Mohid will deal with this new situation in the same cool-headed manner in which he has been dealing with everything else. Hamayun Saeed is definitely very convincing as Mohid, the fact that his dialogues have been written so beautifully helps too. He manages to get his message through loud and clear in only one line!! Dialogues like “unhe khushi dene se mei choti nahi pr jata” “dil jeetna koi khel nahi hota Anmol Ji, jung hoti hai….” and many more make you feel for and like his character.

The director has done everything he could to make this drama a visual treat. The make-up artist and the stylist also deserve a lot of credit for making the leads in particular look their best. Faiza Iftikhar has written dialogues which are very deep and extremely touching, they stay with you long after you hear them! Mohid’s dialogues had to be my favorite in this episode. I love the way Saba Hameed’s colorful and grand outfits go with the overall outlook of the haveli, I wonder if this was intentional or just a coincidence.

The preview of the next episode promises a lot of drama and I am definitely looking forward to it. How many of you watched this episode? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it and if you missed it, watch it on http://www.dramasonline.com

It did not take Anmol long to make Mohid miserable! Mohid however remained patient and knew that the only way to win Anmol’s heart was to give in completely! This episode opened with Mohid’s mother trying to cover up for her bahu’s latest adventure. Later on while Mohid’s mother gave Anmol a lecture on sharm o haya, the news of Sabiha’s disappearance came as a rude shock. Anmol obviously has no attachment with anyone in that house and she is there to make these people miserable therefore whatever she did tonight was in line with her character but it was sad to see a strong woman like Anmol who till now had used her strength for all the right purposes waste her time doing something that will not help anyone in any way.

Anmol was a working woman who was a pillar of strength for her family in every way possible but now she is just another sazishi aurat who is trying to bring people down to get back at them. Yes! Mohid made her life hell but Anmol is not doing herself a favor by wasting her talent and investing all her energy into making someone regret what they did to her. Anmol despised Mohid because he was a ghunda, which went to show that she did not have a high opinion of people who used unlawful means to get what they wanted. All of Anmol’s principles went out of the window the second she took this decision. Anmol is no longer the woman who knew the difference between right and wrong. Although she disputed the notion that everything was fair in love and war in one of the previous episodes but in this episode she proved that indeed everything was fair in love and war!!! This is Anmol’s war, she got married to someone only to make him suffer – is that really fair? Everything Anmol did tonight and even in the previous episode went to show that Mohid and Anmol really are not that different. They are both equally stubborn and they will do anything to achieve their objectives. Anmol blamed Mohid for pushing her to the point where she was left with no other choice. Right now she is seen justifying her actions because she thinks Mohid was responsible for that accident, I am wondering how she will feel when she finds out that Mohid had nothing to do with Fareed’s accident.

Fazal and Sabiha’s track got a lot of screen time in tonight’s episode and the viewers found out why Sabiha’s mother did not let her go back to her husband. We don’t know yet what exactly happened with Fazal after he was threatened of dire consequences but it was definitely something so terrifying that even today he is not willing to take his wife back. Sabiha does not blame Fazal for not taking a stand for her but she only blames her mother. The actor playing Fazal had wooden expressions and his dialogue delivery wasn’t very impressive either. Mohid did not have to try very hard to take Sabiha back home. Mohid’s conversation with his sister in the car went to show that he was only following orders and didn’t really want to do all this.

Dastagir’s scenes and his presence like always proved to be a good distraction from all the anger and hurt which seems to have taken over everyone’s life ever since Anmol decided to take this bold step. Imran Ashraf has been very impressive in this role right from the first episode. It is very difficult to make people laugh and it is even more difficult to make the viewers fall in love with a character like the one he is playing but he does it effortlessly.

Mehwish Hayat’s performance and her make-up was faultless in tonight’s episode. There wasn’t anything appealing about the fact that Anmol kept on judging Mohid and his mother while what she was doing wasn’t very right either but Mehwish Hayat nailed every single scene in tonight’s episode. Hamayun Saeed was very convincing as someone who had admitted his defeat without any reservations and was willing to surrender everything for the person he loved. Uzma Hassan is a very talented actresses but her character isn’t very interesting so far. I am however waiting to see how Sabiha’s mother ‘welcomes’ her when she goes back home.

The preview of the next episode showed that Anmol has met her match – Mohid’s mother made sure put Mehndi on her hands even if she was not willing to change her dress! It also showed that Anmol will meet Fareed in the next episode – will this meeting clear the ‘misunderstanding’ due to which Anmol got married to Mohid? Mohid’s miserable condition however suggested that things will not get better between these two even in the next episode.

Anmol and Mohid are finally husband and wife but this most certainly is not the beginning of a happy married life. This was another episode in which the story was driven by Anmol’s impulsive decisions. Anmol in a way has surrendered so that she can be in a position to fight a new battle. She is very certain that Mohid will not spare anyone who ‘attempts’ to marry her therefore she decided to be Mohid’s wife hence in a way Mohid won but she intends to make things very difficult for him. Anmol made it very clear that there was no place for Mohid in her heart but now she had the license to live in his house. Anmol has been shown as a very head strong girl who will not spare anyone who tries to mess her life in any way therefore her decision was driven by this instinct rather than the pressure from her mother. Her mother and sister’s future wasn’t the primary reason why she took this step but making sure that Mohid pays for his mistakes was the main motivation behind her actions. This recent development reminded me of Rana’s decision to get married to Adeel and the reason behind it. The huge difference between these two dramas however is that firstly Anmol is very different from Rana, when she says she will make someone pay for something they did, she will make sure it gets done! Secondly, although Mohid did everything in his power to force Anmol to be his life partner but once he realized he could not make someone love him, he backed out completely and most importantly he did not force Anmol to marry him on gunpoint.

So far we have seen Mohid’s mother being extremely flexible with her son but in tonight’s episode the viewers saw her losing her cool and for the first time she judged Anmol for her actions. She thinks that this nikkah took place solely because Anmol pressurized Mohid into it and fails to see everything that Mohid has done in the past. We also saw her trying to ensure that no one ever found out how this nikkah took place. Saba Hameed completely stole the show today with her brilliant performance. Watching her give a long lecture on ‘sadgi’ and then talking about a grand valima actually made me feel for her!! I felt for both the mothers while watching tonight’s episode more than any other character.

Sabeeha was already unhappy with her situation and now that all this has happened she thinks she has the right to do things her way too. Although the man she is involved with does not sound like the kind of man who will be able to accept her if his family is unwilling to do so but she is still willing to take this big step. Sabeeha is clearly sick and tired of living a life according to her mother’s wishes therefore she also plans to run away. The question is will Anmol help her do that? When Anmol’s friend gave her the black duppata she was covering herself with, she said it was not hers. Was it Sabeeha’s duppata?

This episode was very filmy; too many impulsive decisions and a heroine who went ahead and did things which most women would never even dare to do. Although Anmol’s character is very head strong and at times unreasonable but she has her vulnerabilities. She had to go ahead and get married to a man she does not love and will never love only because her actions are governed by her ego. Anmol’s derives pleasure out of getting back at people who mess with her but how happy can something like this make a person and most importantly for how long?? Mehwish Hayat once again gave a superb performance although all the decisions which Anmol took in tonight’s episode were just plain outrageous. Hamayun Saeed has managed to bring out the best in his character by showing a very soft and sensitive side of Mohid.

The preview of the next episode showed Mohid’s mother trying her best to make Anmol follow rules of her haveli but Anmol wants to set some new rules of her own.

PS: Udaari review will be posted on Monday. Thanks.

This was another happening episode of Dil Lagi which surely gave me a lot of reasons to look forward to more action! I watched this entire episode waiting for that one scene in which Anmol is seen entering Mohib’s house and it came at the very end!! Not fair!! I must say I loved loved loved Mehwish Hayat as Anmol tonight because in this episode apart from her jah-o-jalal we saw another side of her character. Anmol was scared of getting married to someone like Fareed and clearly fascinated by Mohid although she is too stubborn and practical to admit that just yet! In her attempt to run away from Mohid, Anmol ended up on his door step but we still don’t know if this marriage will take place or not!! Anmol did not go to Mohid’s house because she is in love with him but because she thinks he is the one responsible for Fareed’s accident and she does not want anyone to get hurt because of her any more. Anmol has made a lot of impulsive decisions in these 5 episodes and this was yet another move which was a result of anger and frustration. I must say that Hamayun Saeed (Mohid) was the star of the show tonight because I felt for him and wanted to see him happy more than any other character in tonight’s episode. All his scenes were written, directed and acted out flawlessly.

“Qabza sirf cheezo per kiya jata hai, malkiyat ka dawa jaidad per kiya jata hai magar dil sirf jeete jate hei.” Mohid’s conversation with Dastagir in his office showed that he had finally realized for the first time that he could not make a living and breathing person do things according to his own will. Anmol has taught him a lesson about life and people which he never got the opportunity to learn before. He is however still very sure that one day Anmol will realize just how much he loves her.

Anmol’s attitude towards Fareed clearly showed she could not stand to be near him and she decided to marry him based on the same thinking that was behind Mishaal’s engagement with Anas. She wants someone who she can intimidate, keep at bay and live her life the way she wants. Is that because this is the only way to live her life according to her own terms and conditions? Even with all these ‘rules’ she has set for herself and her sister she finds it really hard to be around Fareed and the thought of spending the rest of her life with him makes her depressed! Mishaal understands how Anmol feels because she has been engaged to one such man. Mishaal’s dialogues in this entire conversation were spot on! The way Mehwish Hayat showed Anmol’s disgust for Fareed was beyond brilliant. Her acting was top-notch in tonight’s episode and her make-up artist deserves due credit for making sure she looked fabulous on the wedding day and all through the scenes in which she wore her mayu dress. Mohid’s sister’s scenes in tonight’s episode, except the last one, showed only one side of her personality. She feels ignored and she also rightly thinks that her mother has completely different standards for Mohid. So far her character is the least appealing character in the play.

Mohid’s mother’s character has to be the second most appealing female character in this play after Anmol. Her double standards show her love for her son and even though you know she is being unjust you can’t help liking her character. She will do the impossible to make sure that Mohid gets what he wants. She has a very friendly relationship with him and so far she is anything but the typical mother of our heroes in every other drama. Saba Hameed always makes all her characters stand out and she has managed to dojust that in this drama too. Dastagir’s role in the play also has been a breath of fresh air unlike Bia in Mann Mayal whose over enthusiasm starts getting to you after a while! Imran Ashraf has been faultless in every single scene of all the episodes that have gone air till now.

This episode was filmy to the core; dialogues like “us jesi aik bhi mil jai na ama, mujhe bataye ka zarur” and so many more coupled with the way these scenes were directed gave it a very filmy feel. The comic dialogues and situations in the play are definitely an important part of  Dil Lagi which keep things from getting too serious.

I found the preview of the next episode slightly frustrating and my first reaction was what now???? Why does Anmol say no to maulvi sahab and why is Mohid not willing to marry Anmol instantly? Why does she have to argue with him, threaten him to make him go ahead with this nikkah? Waiting to find out the answers to all these questions.

“Mujhe mohabbat samaj nahi aati, mujhe sirf izzat samaj ati hai. Mohabbat na miley tu sirf dil tootta hai, agr izzat chali jaye tu asman tootta hai.” Anmol really is one-of-a-kind, she is not only strong-headed but also extremely unpredictable. All through tonight’s episode Anmol kept the viewers guessing, I am certain many other viewers out there just like me were wondering what her next move will be. Even now I am quite uncertain whether this last meeting with Mohid really was a last meeting or the final test after which Anmol was going to decide if Mohid deserved her or not. After a long time we are getting to see a heroine in our dramas who believes in finding solutions to her problems. Anmol’s confidence in herself and her values have been highlighted as an integral part of her overall personality right from the first episode.

Anmol however has very different standards when it comes to her sister. Mishaal’s stance that she would much rather not marry someone who does not trust her and did not have the guts to take a stand for her was absolutely right but even then Anmol did not agree with her. Does the motherly instinct take over when Anmol makes decisions for her sister? It really does look like that is the case because Anmol is quite ‘reckless’ when it comes to dealing with her own problems. She doesn’t think much about the consequences and does what she wants to do therefore in that way Mohid and Anmol are quite similar. This particular scene in which Mohid comes to Anmol’s house and later on suggests that Dastagir will marry Mishaal was one of the most entertaining scenes of the entire episode. The chemistry between all these actors and a very powerful script make every scene stand out. Dastagir’s immediate reaction to this proposal and the effect it had on him later on was hilarious! I have said this before but I feel the need to say this again that Imran Ashraf is beyond remarkable as Dastagir. He owns his role and does not falter for a second. His acting in this play is poles apart from his disappointing performance in Gul-e-Rana, which basically goes to show what a big difference an intelligent script and a good director can make. I was expecting a confrontation between Mohid and Dastagir after Mohid found out what he had done was the result of a misunderstanding communicated through Dastagir but the way this bromance has been handled in this drama is amazing! These two are inseparable and the chemistry between them makes this relationship even more relatable.

It took me some time to warm up to the main leads but in this episode Mehwish Hayat and Hamayun Saeed both stole the show. I felt for Mohid and was in awe of Anmol’s character. Mohid’s relationship with his mother has been shown very beautifully too. Saba Hameed’s character and the way she has translated this character on screen makes it extremely likeable. Mohid’s sister’s reaction to everything that was going on in the house went to show that her proposals or proposal was probably rejected because the boy was not part of the family or clan. Although she tries her best to make her mother realize that she has double standards but the fact is that Mohid really is maa ka ladla and she will do anything to make her son happy. So far she has not been shown as an insecure mother who thinks that her son’s wife will steal her son from her.

All the confrontations between Anmol and Mohid were beyond brilliant. Anmol hasn’t hit Mohid so far like she hit every other man who was after her but she has said plenty to him which clearly shows that she does not even have an ounce of respect for him. Unlike many other dramas nowadays these two episodes of Dil Lagi in particular were completely free of filler scenes. Every single scene and each dialogue in this episode deserved to be cherished. The only thing which made me uncomfortable was the way Mohid ‘manhandled’ Anmol. How could someone like Anmol allow him to do that? It was something that could easily have been avoided since if someone like Anmol can keep herself from hitting Mohid then the same rule should apply to Mohid as well. Overall, It was a power-packed episode and the preview of the next episode suggests there will be even more action in the upcoming episode!

“Mohabbat mei agr insan ki mut na mari jaye tu samjho use mohabbat nahi weham huva hai.” This episode was less filmy but it definitely had tons of substance. For the first time the characters stood out more than the actors and some of the conversations and dialogues were so impactful that they stayed with me even after I was done watching this episode. It has been a long time since I heard such powerful dialogues in a drama therefore for me this episode of Dil Lagi was a complete winner. Mohid is not going to give up on Anmol, he will do everything it takes to convince her that no one will ever love her as much as he does. He wants Anmol to fall in love with him even if it requires some effort. Anmol believes “mohabbat hone aur mohabbat krne mei buhat fark hai” but Mohid sees things differently.

The fact that Anmol is a very strong individual was reinforced yet again in tonight’s episode in a much more realistic manner. Anmol believes in moving on, finding solutions to problems and not dwelling in the past therefore we did not see Anmol giving what had happened a second thought. She also told her mother to consider it a “maslihat” and move on but at the same time she tried to fix the problem by meeting Mohid. However, Mohid’s meeting with Dastagir after he met Anmol went to show that nothing she said had an effect on him. He was under the effect of meeting the woman of his dreams in person and did not believe a word of what she said until Dastagir gave him the news that she was engaged to someone else. Anas is clearly darpok and nazuk therefore his reaction to his encounter with Mohid was very believable. The logic Anmol gave to Mishaal for getting her engaged to someone like him was rather ironic since Anmol herself is such a brave person but at the same time it went to show how practical Anmol was. She is brave but she also knows that how vulnerable they are because of the fact that there is no man who can support them.

There were many conversations in this episode which were meaningful and very well written. I loved the conversation between Mohid and his mother in which she asks him questions about Anmol. It clearly went to show that Mohid did not fall in love with Anmol’s looks but with her bold personality. Anmol’s dialogue “dur mere liye gali hai aur mujh se gali bardasht nahi hoti”  was totally in line with her character and this is exactly what Mohid loves about her. Deep down Anmol also knows that Mohid is much more than just a ‘barsati mendak’ but she keeps on telling herself that because if she thinks on the same lines as her mother she might be afraid of what this person can do to have her in his life.

The way Mohid’s mother summed up everything she had observed about Anmol’s family was hilarious. I absolutely love Mohid’s mother’s character and the way Saba Hameed has brought this character to life on screen is commendable. I am watching her play a very different role in drama serial Guzarish and she is equally convincing in that drama as well.

“aao mujhe daryaft karo acha laga tu fatah kur lena” … I found the references of this kind in tonight’s episode quite interesting. These witty dialogues made otherwise cheesy scenes more meaningful and added some depth to Mohid’s character as well. I have been complaining about the leads till now but I must say that in tonight’s episode there was definitely more of Anmol and Mohid – two equally interesting characters – than just Mehwish Hayat and Hamayun Saeed. Imran Ashraf was once again brilliant as Dastagir, he nailed every single scene! I can’t believe that this is the same actor who is playing Asher in Gul-e-Rana.

The preview of the next episode suggested that Mohid will send his mother to Anmol’s house once again. I am really looking forward to the next installment and hope that it will be just as enthralling as this one.

Aurat ki kam-akli aur jazbat ko tamancha maar ke qaboo krne wala mard hi nahi hota … Superb!!! This episode was everything I wanted to see and more! I have to admit that I was very disappointed at the way the previous episode ended since in my opinion that thappar was unjustified (it always is, no matter what) but this episode put things in perspective. Everything that Zulekha said to Mohid was on point, couldn’t agree with her more! I have always liked her character but in this episode she completely won me over. The powerful dialogues and the manner in which Saba Hameed delivered them made all her scenes a must watch. We need to see more mothers like Zulekha in our dramas who are not perfect but they have some very strong positive personality traits. She was shown as one of those mothers right from the first episode who took pride in having the perfect son but even then she did not defend Mohid’s actions in this episode which basically proved that a man can never be justified in hitting a woman.

For once I don’t see much of a reason to support Mohid although I understand that his heart was in the right place. The way he asked Anmol about her visit to the gynecologist did suggest that he was convinced what the nurse was saying was true although that was not the case but Anmol was justified in overreacting. Mohid’s side of the story however was narrated convincingly in this episode. Mohid has finally given up, too bad the fact that he hit Anmol has dinted this love story. It does prove that Mohid too is human but it would have been nice to see this love story progressing without showing Mohid lose his self control like that. It looks like something tragic might happen to Mohid and that is how this love story will come to an end – which I hope would be happy. Anmol is in love with Mohid but she will not forgive him easily therefore right now only a tragedy can bring them together – I would hate to see Mohid die!

Gilla beti se nahi hai, gilla us se hai jis ne beta bunane ka dawa kiya tha … loved this dialogue and the entire conversation between Anmol and her mother. Anmol is no longer the person she once was, she is more willing to admit her mistakes and it is good to see a sensitive side of her character. I am glad Anmol’s mother had faith in her daughter although she knows that Anmol is not perfect but she also knows when she is hurt and needs her support.  jub baat kirdar tuk aa jaye tu baat khatam ho jati hai was another dialogue which hit home, for once I find it very easy to connect to Anmol’s character and everything she is going through. Although Mishal has always been the voice of reason in Anmol’s life but tonight she was just as confused as Mohid was because she has been very close to Mohid therefore she could not come into terms with what had happened. The scene between Dastagir and the new character went to show that this particular track will play an important role in taking the story forward most probably from the next episode.

This episode was on point; there wasn’t a single scene which was out of place but the ending was rather abrupt and sudden, I was expecting to see a little more at the end.  Zulekha was the star of the show tonight. The best thing about the latest developments was that the misunderstanding was cleared sooner than most of us expected it to end. The timeline in tonight’s episode was slightly confusing. When Mohid was sitting next to the bridge it seemed like it was evening but there was daylight outside when Zulekha was talking to Anmol in the next scene. The opening scene and the conversation between Zulekha and Anmol at her house when she was about to leave were my favorite parts of this episode – they were written, directed and acted out beautifully. Saba Hameed and Mehwish Hayat gave brilliant performances in this episode. The fact that their scenes and dialogues were very powerful added more substance to their scenes.

“Mein wadaa krti bhi nahi. Waada tum jaise log kr sakte hein Mohid jo nibhana jante hun. Mujh jaise log jo apne ghusse ke agay bebas hu, unhe waday nahi krne chahyeh. Ghussa waday bhula deta hai!!” For the first time tonight I truly felt for Anmol, not because Mohid hit her but because he thought she was capable of doing something like this to hurt him. And also because this happened when Anmol was willing to make a new start after admitting to herself that she let her anger control her. Anmol of course hasn’t given Mohid much of a reason to have faith in her but until now he had the patience of a saint and now all of a sudden he does not know who and what he should believe. Anmol’s reaction was completely justified and was shown brilliantly. Everything she wrote in her letter went to prove that she had more faith in Mohid than she had in herself. She knows that she might break promises and go against her own word because when she gets upset, she has no control over herself but Mohid would never do that. At the same time Mohid’s state of mind was shown really well too. He kept on thinking about what the nurse said all day and all the things which Anmol had said to him before she married him therefore at the end of the day all he needed was a logical explanation for all that he had heard from Anmol. Anmol could not do that because she was bound by a promise, one she wanted to keep no matter what. I must say that I am dead against men hitting women in dramas no matter what therefore although Anmol left Mohid with very little choice but even then it would have been better if he threatened to hit her and Zulekha stopped them.

The episode opened with scenes which showed Anmol truly was in love, she was willing to do much more than before for Mohid in order to show her love for him. Zulekha picked up the change in her behaviour instantly and Anmol hoped that Mohid will also read her mind. Unfortunately for her Mohid came home with a completely different frame of mind. Anmol has fallen in love with Mohid but she is still the same person she was before, she never believed in giving people explanations and she still does not. She could have persuaded Mohid without telling him the truth but she chose not to. Mehwish Hayat and Hamayun Saeed once again nailed every single scene in tonight’s episode and they were exceptional in the last scene. The last scene was also directed brilliantly except for the hitting bit of course!

“Dil sawalo ke jawab dhundne aur pahelian boojhne mei bara nikama hota hai.” This dialogue summed up Mohid’s state of mind. Sadly, Anmol is not the kind of person who believes in explaining herself to anyone therefore the situation went from bad to worse. Not only this, the way she reacted was completely in line with her character. Once again she let her anger control her which will actually give rise to an interesting situation. Will Sabiha and Zulekha do what needs to be done?? Or will the letter which Anmol wrote make Mohid question his judgment? Most importantly will Anmol forgive Mohid for the thappar??

Zulekha in her own way pleaded Anmol’s case when Mohid came home! I am waiting to see how she will react to the latest developments. Once again all the actors gave superb performances in this episode too. Saba Hameed has an undeniable screen presence which makes all her scenes count. Anmol’s letter to Mohid was beautifully written – it covered every little aspect of her personality and was very honest! It went to show that Anmol did not develop a new personality overnight but was more willing to accept her faults and her feelings for Mohid. Zulekha and Anmol’s scene in the kitchen was the most ‘happy’ scene of this episode. The last scene was extremely powerful and it made up for the slow pace in the first half of this episode. The thappar however was uncalled for.

This episode laid the foundations for what is coming ahead. Since ARY does not show preview of the upcoming episode therefore we can only guess what is going to happen next. Zulekha did say that Sabiha was coming tomorrow therefore I am expecting Sabiha to play an important role in clearing up the misunderstanding. (xanax) We will also know how much damage this misunderstanding has done in the upcoming episode and whether it is repairable or not!!

Mohid is another one of those bad guys we see in our drama serials often enough who will do anything to get the girl he loves. I was really hoping that this character will be more dignified but unfortunately Mohid is also one of those men who think that a woman’s feelings don’t matter and that it is alright to force someone to spend the rest of their life with you. In tonight’s episode Mohid focused all his energy towards ‘pursuing’ Anmol in every way possible. I must say that tonight’s episode did remind of drama serial Bhai yet again and Bashar Momin too. Mohid is judged by Anmol and her family based on his actions just like Bhai and Bashar Momin’s characters. He is a ‘ghunda’, he does not deserve any respect no matter what he does to prove that he is not such a bad person after all, he will always end up doing something which will not be ‘sharif’ enough! I enjoyed the scene in which Mohid ‘gatecrashed’ Anmol’s engagement ceremony. It was filmy but it was also funny and Hamayun Saeed’s acting was spot on in that particular scene. Anmol’s expressions suggested that she wasn’t very happy with this engagement but at the same time she wouldn’t have wanted everything to end like this. Mohid has fallen head over heels in love with Anmol overnight, something we have seen in our dramas often enough therefore I am not complaining! He will do anything to make sure that Anmol does not get married to anyone else and he will continue following her too!

Anas was mentioned in tonight’s episode over and over again but I guess the viewers will only see him in the next episode. Unlike the last episode this episode did not focus on Anmol alone but Mohid and his family got a lot of screen time too. Anmol is used to fighting her own battles and she is not waiting for a man to save her. We saw Anmol’s slightly compromising side in this episode and I was surprised that she didn’t hit Mohid after what he did!! I couldn’t help but wonder though that why wasn’t a wise and street smart girl like her able to tell why Mohid was following her? Why didn’t she tell him off when she saw him staring at her? And most importantly why didn’t she realize that Mohid’s mother must have come with the proposal when her mentioned that someone came to their house for the said purpose on the same day Mohid told her that his mother will be coming to her house?? And why is Anmol so stunned and incapable of giving a fitting reply every time Mohid makes a pass at her? The ‘relationship’ between Mohid and Anmol is not working for me so far because Anmol is giving this man ‘special treatment’ even though she does not like him.

Saba Hameed yet again made her presence felt in tonight’s episode. I find her character very interesting and I absolutely love the way she has translated it on screen. One can see why a woman like her would not marry her only daughter! She probably cannot find a man who is good enough for her daughter or she thinks that her daughter cannot handle marriage/a husband just yet. She is however more than willing to marry her son off as quickly as possible and she knows her son very well too. The relationship between Mohid and his mother and the one between Imran Ashraf’s character and Mohid is right now keeping my interest alive in this drama. The chemistry between Imran Ashraf and Hamayun Saeed makes their scenes a treat to watch. Imran Ashraf completely owns his character in this drama unlike his character in Gul-e-Rana. Mohid’s character had the potential of being charming but I guess that is highly unlikely now since he comes across as an older version of Adeel. All through tonight’s episode and the previous episode as well I felt like there was more of Mehwish Hayat in this drama than Anmol.

Some of the dialogues in tonight’s episode were very witty and I enjoyed the comic bits too. The best thing about this episode was that it was free of clichés. Mohid’s mother did not complain about the class difference, in fact she did not even mention it. There are some very strong women in this play; Anmol, Mishal and Mohid’s mother are strong women who believe in speaking their mind. Out of all these three however my favorite so far is Mohid’s mother although she is far from perfect. She does tell married women to get an equal status but at the same time her own son enjoys a status far superior than that of her daughter. Dil Lagi hasn’t completely won me over yet, I was definitely expecting more from this drama. The preview of the next episode showed Mohid’s first encounter with Anas after Anmol made him believe that she was in love with this man.

Wow!! wow!! wow!!! This was the kind of episode which completely blows you away. Thank you team Dil Lagi for an amazing episode which I will be watching over and over again!! This episode was extremely emotional, entertaining and like every other episode of Dil Lagi it had some amazing dialogues to its credit. Waiting another week to see what is going to happen next is going to be torturous.

Anmol is finally in love with Mohid and for a change this change of heart wasn’t something that happened abruptly at the last minute as is the case with many other dramas. Anmol took her time and when she realized her feelings for Mohid were changing she was seen questioning her own self – this was my most favorite part. Tonight for the first time it seemed like Anmol was judging herself for a change – questioning whether she really deserved all this love or respect because she always criticized Mohid and even Zulekha. She never expected both of them to be fair with her but tonight she was proven wrong. Not only was she convinced that Mohid wasn’t the person she thought he was but when Zulekha accepted that she really was ‘anmol’ , she was taken aback and the look on her face showed that she had realized just how wrong she was.

At the beginning of this episode Anmol was her old self, the person who was bent on doubting Mohid’s intentions and judging his action every step of the way. The change of heart started when Mohid did things big and small to show how much he loved and respected her mother. What Anmol’s mother said to her would have fallen on deaf ears yet again had she not found out what Mohid had done for Sabiha. While Anmol had a difficult time giving Mohid the credit he rightly deserved, Mohid just like always was very generous while appreciating Anmol’s efforts. Anmol can finally see Mohid for who he is but the discovery Mohid made at the end of the episode is going to create a big misunderstanding which might not be easy to resolve but even then there is still room for a lot of emotional scenarios in which ama can prove that she too can do something extraordinary for Anmol. Hamayun Saeed and Mehwish Hayat nailed every single scene in tonight’s episode. Their on screen chemistry coupled with the brilliant direction and those amazing dialogues made every scene a treat to watch. It isn’t very often that actors look as good as Hamayun Saeed and Mehwish Hayat look in those close-ups. The credit for this goes to the director for the perfect camera work and the make-up artist for the perfect makeovers.

The scene in which Fazal asked Zulekha for forgiveness was the most emotional scene of this episode. The credit for this clearly goes to the director and the writer for making this scene work. Saba Hameed is always spot on therefore she contributed in making this scene a success but the fact is that the actor playing Fazal cannot act to save his life. Even with his flat expressions the situation, dialogues and the way this scene was shot was so remarkable that the flat expressions went almost unnoticed. This was the perfect ending for Sabiha and Fazal. Even someone like me who could never really connect to Sabiha’s character felt so emotional while watching this scene. This was the kind of scene which makes you teary eyed even when you are not entirely involved in a particular track. This scene started with Fazal being very hesitant and Sabiha playing the role of a mediator between Fazal and her mother but when Mohid came Fazal had the confidence to ask Zulekha for forgiveness and was even willing to do what she had asked her to do so many years back. Had Fazal taken Sabiha without having this conversation with Zulekha, this situation wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was.

The scene between Mishal and Anmol was very filmy but quite apt! Only Mishal could have helped Anmol figure out how she actually felt otherwise she would have been remained confused. Dastagir and Mishal are headed towards their happy ending as well. There was a time when it was impossible to picture Dastagir studying and taking these exams but Mishal has proved that behind every ‘educated’ man there is a woman too! Mishal and Dastagir compliment each other. Imran Ashraf has been brilliant as Dastagir throughout the play, I never thought he had it in him! A quality script and a gifted director can bring out the best in any actor who is talented.

Although this episode was full of dhuwandaar dialogues but these two were my favorite,

“Nai ji utha tha.” (those of you who watched this episode will understand why I loved this dialogue!!)

 “Kabhi tum ghalt fehmiyo mei rehti ho, kabhi uljhan mei rehti ho. Itni jaga di hui hai tumhei is dil mei, wahan kyu nahi rehti?” (yes sounds super cheesy but trust me you will fall in love with it too when you watch Mohid delivering these dialogues with utmost certainty!)

I would give this episode 10 out of 10, I loved every bit of it. Dil Lagi proves that a love story can be very appealing if it is free of clichés! Faiza Iftikhar has in her own way questioned a lot of dialogues and phrases which are used in love stories all the time. In this episode in a very subtle yet apt manner she questioned the whole concept of ‘mur mitna’! The leading characters of this story and the scenarios are always very different from what we usually see in our dramas which make them interesting. Nadeem Baig is a very creative director who knows exactly how to translate all the emotions on screen without making the scenes over dramatic. Also, the OST is always used when it is needed and the way the close-ups are taken is very daring but when the director knows what he is doing then the final product is as superb as this play and this episode in particular.

This episode transported me to another world and I am still waiting to land one earth;) How many of you loved this episode just as much as I did? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it.

One thing that has remained constant throughout this play is the positivity in Mohid’s character. I think Mohid is one of his kind because he is intelligent enough to know exactly what is going on yet he chooses to have a big heart and he stays positive. I can’t remember another hero in our dramas who changed so much and redefined his philosophy of life only because he fell in love. Falling in love with Anmol has changed Mohid in a good way. Although Anmol is a very bitter and rigid person who chooses to judge Mohid based on his first impression but Mohid very generously overlooks all her flaws and pays heed to every good advice that she gives him. Another characteristic of Mohid’s character that makes him stand out is that he is not at all judgmental. When he saw Anmol talking to that man on the street and later on when he overheard what she is saying on the phone, he did not for a second think that Anmol might be doing something wrong but he thought she probably needed his help and was not asking for it. It was only after Anmol made Mohid realize that he needed to take a stand for Sabiha that he decided he needed to do something for his sister. Mohid loves Anmol, he respects her but he is not blind to her flaws, he accepts and loves her for who she is which is something truly daring for a hero of a Pakistani drama!!! So yes!! after giving us so many strong female leads and supporting characters, Faiza Iftikhar has set a new precedent by giving us a hero who loves his wife unconditionally and is a very strong man who accepts a woman for who she is even though Anmol isn’t the perfect package. For once, the man in the relationship is doing more than the woman which is truly refreshing. Hamayun Saeed has translated this character flawlessly on screen and none of the other actors from the younger lot would have been able to add the kind of X-factor which he has added to this character. His manly aura definitely fits this character.

Anmol proved in tonight’s episode that she was quite capable of going out of her way to help someone by having that conversation with the doctor and making sure that Sabiha gets to keep her baby. The way everything worked in favor of Sabiha and Fazal was very convincing. It was also good to see Mohid’s mother worrying about what her son might think if he ever found out what she was about to do. She is the kind of person who does not like letting people down especially those who expect a lot from her down whether it is her son or those women who come to her to seek advice.

Anmol’s conversation with the maid in the beginning of the episode suggested that she was eager to know more about Mohid, it looked like she didn’t mind changing her opinion of him but the second the maid said things which would have given her a reason to change her mind, she decided to end the conversation. What is Anmol afraid of?? Is she afraid of being proven wrong? Is she scared of finding out that Mohid isn’t such a bad person after all? Later on her conversation with her sister suggested something completely different. Somehow Anmol wants to hold on to the first impression she had of Mohid. Anmol’s conversation with the nurse and Dastagir’s curiosity to find out what was going on might lead to another big misunderstanding between Mohid and Anmol. Although Mohid told Dastagir that he didn’t want him to follow Anmol but Dastagir is so eager to solve Mohid’s problems that he will continue investigating and he might end up with the wrong kind of information.

Anmol keeps you guessing – one minute it looks like she might soften up but the next minute she is seen planning an escape! Right now Mohid just wants to see Anmol happy, he is not focusing on winning her over. Anmol’s character is also very interesting, she is very rigid but she proved yet again that sometimes she uses this strength to help people too. Had Anmol not found Fazal and talked to the doctor, things would have been very different. Mehwish Hayat owns her character, I love her confidence and the fact that she knows exactly what is expected from her. Saba Hameed is another actress who adds something new to every role she plays, she is a natural and a very powerful performer.

This was a beautiful episode, beautifully written, beautifully shot and brilliantly acted out. The productions values and direction of this drama has been top-notch. Every episode of Dil Lagi is a visual treat filled with meaningful conversations and powerful performances. Another aspect of this play which makes it very enticing is the fact that the story is very unpredictable.

I have always enjoyed the dialogues and the conversations in this play especially the ones between Anmol and Mohid, this episode had plenty of those meaningful conversations therefore it was a complete winner for me. Mohid deserves to be loved and cherished – something that is becoming more apparent with every passing episode. It is refreshing to watch a drama in which the viewers get to side with the hero for a change without any reservations. Anmol and Zulekha’s conversation about her double standards was also on point; it was written and shot flawlessly. For a second it seemed like Zulekha might hit Anmol but I am so glad that it didn’t go that way. In fact it seemed like Zulekha did pay heed to what Anmol said to her but Sabiha’s frame of mind at that given moment was completely different therefore she didn’t have a reason to doubt what she was planning to do. This episode was jam packed with scenes which you want to watch over and over again because every scene was picture perfect; beautifully written, directed perfectly and the chemistry between all these actors is simply mind blowing. My favorite scene from tonight’s episode had to be the one in which Mohid walks in the jewelry shop when Anmol is selling her jewelry. It was very well written and it was directed so well that it did not look like a scene from a drama at all but a real moment captured on lens. It was one of those very few scenes between Mohid and Anmol which every woman who has a difficulty asking her husband for money would have been able to relate to especially because in the end Anmol decided to take money from Mohid.

In this episode as well Anmol was too busy hating Mohid to see his good points but there were at least three instances when she did look surprised with what she had discovered about her husband. She seemed to ‘like’ Mohid for a few seconds maybe when he gave her the ATM card without asking any questions and also when Sabiha told her what he had promised and how he felt about his mother, Anmol seemed to be slightly surprised. Also, I loved the way the confrontation between Anmol and Zulekha ended – indeed Zulekha might have tons of flaws but she has most certainly brought up a son who will never hit a woman. There was a good reason why Anmol had to end the argument here. When the driver however told her that Mohid paid the dues of his children’s schools, she did not give it a second thought.

Mohid once again is convinced that he is fighting a lost battle. He has given up therefore it is easier for him to come into terms with what he thinks is true. Once again Mohid is willing to leave Anmol for Fareed, he also tried to tell her that in hidden words but in the next episode he will ask her directly. The issues between Mohid and Anmol remain the same. Also, like all the previous episode their roles did not change either but watching them interact and those meaningful discussions is always a treat. The chemistry between Hamayun Saeed and Mehwish Hayat and the way these scenes have been shot make them extra special. I was however not too happy about the fact that Mohid’s ‘haram ki kamai’ misunderstanding was not cleared in this episode. There was a perfect opportunity for Mohid to tell Anmol what exactly he did but he didn’t say much. Anmol is desperate to get Fareed out of her life –  I am waiting to see how this particular track unravels. Will it create even more misunderstandings between Mohid and Anmol? Dastagir and Mishal’s tracks is sweet, they got slightly less screen time in tonight’s episode but it was good to see Dastagir doing something practical to please Mishal. It was also interesting to watch Mishal pretend like she didn’t care when she really does want him in her life.

Sabiha and Fazal’s track finally moved forward in this episode. Afzal has been unable to muster up the courage to approach Zulekha or Mohid but he is trying and Sabiha knows it. I love how Zulekha’s dialogues have been written and the way Saba Hameed has brought this character to life on screen. The preview of the next episode suggested that there might be some major developments in this track in the next episode.

Tonight’s episode was the kind of episode you can watch over and over again. Mehwish Hayat and Hamayun Saeed’s chemistry, the beautiful dialogues written by Faiza Iftikhar, Nadeem Baig’s direction and the great production values make Dil Lagi a must watch play. The beautiful colors in the background and attention to the tiniest details make every scene very well-crafted.

After watching so many episodes which were filled with scenes in which Mohid and Anmol got a chance to ‘discover’ each other, this episode seemed incomplete without those interactions and conversations. Tonight’s episode did cover Mohid and Anmol’s relationship but there was hardly any interaction between the two. Anmol’s sole mission in life right now is to make sure that Sabiha and Fazal can somehow sort things out and live a ‘normal’ life. Therefore she had very little time to play games which quite rightly seemed odd to Mohid. At the same time Dastagir’s information regarding Fareed gave him even more of a reason to question the whole situation. Mohid once again turned to Mishal for consolation but Mishal’s ‘interpretation’ of Anmol’s feelings for Mohid made him doubt what she had said earlier about Anmol’s feelings for Fareed. This particular misunderstanding was covered flawlessly. Anmol is distracted, she is not being her old self with Mohid and for once she did not use a perfect opportunity to make Mohid jealous. Mohid has no idea what is going on, all the ‘clues’ are pointing towards something he was not expecting therefore yet again he is feeling insecure. All this time when Anmol was trying so hard to make Mohid jealous, he took everything very lightly and now that she isn’t even trying, he thinks she might be planning something which will effect their relationship in a bad way.

Although Dastagir and Mishal joined hands to bring Anmol and Mohid together but there is very little that they have managed to achieve so far. Dastagir’s proposal was definitely surprising and Mishal’s reply was even more so. Mishal knew all along that Dastagir liked her but I wasn’t expecting her to take this proposal so seriously. At some point Mishal must have started liking Dastagir too but till the last episode it felt like he was nothing more than a ‘Fareed’ to her who she was only associating with because she wanted to bring Mohid and Anmol together. Mishal’s reply might have been rather unexpected but it has given an interesting twist to this track. Will Dastagir actually try to do something to fulfill Mishal’s demands? Dastagir’s dialogues as usual and the acting by Imran Ashraf was the best part of this episode.

Saba Hameed was scary tonight as the ama with a very bruised ego who did not like it when she was not in control! The scenes with her and Sabiha in them were seriously upsetting. She thinks she is doing what is best for her daughter but this time around she crossed the line. Unfortunately, she has very little respect for what her daughter wants. She made Sabiha leave her husband because he did not respect her but now she is the one who is proving through her actions that she has absolutely no respect for her daughter’s feeling. She can easily find Fazal if she asks Mohid to help her but she intends to stick to her unreasonable decision no matter what. Also, the fact that she hid Sabiha’s phone goes to show that she does not want Fazal to get in touch with her either. Sabiha’s crying started getting to me after a while, although it was justified in her situation but even then in a drama with so many strong women Sabiha’s character is sticking out like a sore thumb! Fazal’s character is equally weak and the acting isn’t very impressive either.

Just like every other episode of Dil Lagi, this one too was visually pleasing. The attention to detail and the use of beautiful colors makes every scene a treat to watch. Anmol’s character for once was very likeable in this episode and definitely more refreshing too since her positive and helpful attitude made this episode less depressing. Otherwise Ama’s unreasonable attitude, Sabiha’s helplessness and Mohid’s depression would have made this episode very sad. Mehwish Hayat has proved in this serial that she is incredibly talented, she is very well suited for this role. Her acting is always effortless and natural. Hamayun Saeed once again made it very easy for me to connect to his character. I felt for Mohid every step of the way. There are very few male leads which make you feel that way; the credit for this goes to the writer as well for etching out a character which is so likeable. Mohid’s dialogues are always heart touching. “Mohabbat insan ko buhat kamzor, wehmi aur buzdil bana deti hai” had to be my favorite dialogue from this episode because it summed up the change in Mohib’s character brilliantly.

“Jub koi acha lagta hai tu us ka bura bhi acha hi lagta hai. Mohabbat andhi nahi faragh dil hoti hai, aaib dekhti hai magar nazar andaz kar deti hai!” After watching this episode of Dil Lagi I don’t have the words to praise Nadeem Baig’s direction in particular and Faiza Iftikhar’s script which deserved to be directed with such dedication. This play is a visual treat; the sets, the clothes which the actors wear, the camera work and the picture quality especially in this episode was simply flawless! All the beautiful colors in the background, on the rooftops, those which the actors wear are definitely a deliberate attempt to make this drama visually pleasing and the director has definitely succeeded in doing so. Having said that I must add that the direction and camerawork alone cannot save the day if the script lacks depth and meaning. Like many other scripts written by Faiza Iftikhar, this one too has plenty of situations and surprises in store which are not over-dramatic but truly impactful! It is good to know that there are directors and writers out there who realize that we expect more from them than a stellar cast and beautiful locations. This episode had a few scenes which could qualify as somewhat clichéd but the bits which were anything but clichéd like always managed to stand out more than the dialogues uttered by Anmol’s mother in this episode especially because the context is completely different from what we see normally in dramas.

Mohid’s character is turning out to be very balanced and likeable. Unlike Anmol he believes in soul-searching. He knows that Anmol lied about her love affair with Fareed even then he does not judge her primarily because he loves her. When Anmol questions him about his priorities he pauses to think about what she said and in the morning he also pleads Sabiha’s case in front of his mother. Also, although he has been brought up by a mother who holds him very dear but he does not have an inflated ego. There was a time when Mohid thought it was alright to do whatever he needed to do in order to get what he wanted but Anmol has taught him many things which he would not have learned otherwise. Anmol, of course does not believe in practicing what she preaches. The character development has been convincing and has made this character more appealing. Hamayun Saeed is very convincing in this role, he has made Mohid’s conviction in his love for Anmol very relatable.

Although Anmol is still as stubborn as she was in the first episode but there are times when she has to be slightly flexible. My most favorite part of this episode was when Anmol decided to free Mohid’s pigeons! I could totally see that coming when Mohid’s mother mentioned how dear these pigeons were to him even then I was left wondering if Anmol would have the guts to take such a step. Now the question is whether these pigeons really want to be free?? Or do they love Mohid so much that they will return!! I am looking forward to Anmol’s reaction and the conversation between Mohid and Anmol in the next episode already! This was one of the many scenes in tonight’s episode which was beautifully shot. The expressions on Anmol’s face said more than any words could!

Tonight both the mothers in the drama decided to take charge at the same time! After Anmol’s mother made her promise that she will not brainwash Sabiha to go against her mother’s wishes, Mohid’s mother made sure that her bahu took care of her son. Anmol felt helpless and decided to do something that would make Mohid upset. The conversation between Mohid’s mother and Dastagir in tonight’s episode went to show that Mohid wasn’t really the rough and tough person he appears to be. It also showed that Mohid was taking payments from people who had rented properties owned by them and wasn’t doing anything unlawful.

“Mohabbat nahi ho sakti koshish karne se aur na karwaye ja sakti hai.  Yeh tu wahi ki tarah hoti hai, Aasman se utrti hai kub kis se kahan kese ho jaye, yeh koi nahi janta.” Mishaal and Dastagir’s brief scene together made this episode complete. It is truly refreshing to watch a drama in which all the characters get the screen time they deserve and their stories are being taken forward gradually. Mariam Ansari is doing complete justice to her role and Imran Ashraf is adorable as Dastagir. The conversation between Mohid and Dastagir was also beautifully written, it was definitely one of those scenes that deserve to be watched over and over again! There was a major development in Sabiha’s track in this episode too. It remains to be seen how her mother reacts to this latest development.

I must say that Dil Lagi is much more entertaining now that Anmol is not getting her way! Loved the expressions on her face when she ran to the rooftop to see how Mohid would react when he doesn’t find his pigeons there! Can’t wait to see what happens next. Like every other episode of Dil Lagi this one too had some remarkable dialogues and beautiful conversations to its credit which stay with you long after you’re done watching the show. The director Nadeem Baig has turned this drama into a masterpiece by details which we rarely get to see in dramas. The person in charge of editing has also done his job really well. Anmol and Mohid’s story is getting more interesting with every episode. At this point Mohid is way ahead of the game because he is not focusing on scoring points!

This episode focused on Sabiha’s track just as much as it did on Mohid and Anmol’s. It seems like there is finally going to be some development in Sabiha’s track. The most important aspect of tonight’s episode was that Anmol revealed her true intentions behind ‘helping’ Sabiha. Anmol’s selfish reasons for asking Sabiha to take a stand for herself and do something against her mother and brother’s wishes were obvious in the previous episode as well but in this episode she made it quite clear that she did not want Sabiha to be happy, she only wanted to see Mohid and his mother suffering. It is ironic that Mohid has been able to convince everyone else in Anmol’s house that he only wants to make his marriage work and does not want to play games but Anmol is the only one who remains unconvinced. Mohid did not succeed in making Anmol confess that she was lying all along but it was definitely good to see her feeling annoyed and frustrated.

Anmol’s mother’s character has to be one of my most favorite characters in the play. She always makes sure that she tells Anmol why she is wrong with logic and reason. The viewers find it easy to connect to her because she is one of those very few on-screen mothers who do not want their daughters to make their marriages work because they are scared of people or what they will say. She knows that her daughter is at fault and that is the reason why she wants to make her realize that things are not the way she sees them.

The ‘supporting characters’ in this play have definitely been playing a very important role right from the start and except for Sabiha all of them are very interesting. Mohid’s mother has taken a backseat after realizing that Anmol will never listen to her – thankfully this track isn’t one of those typical saas-bahu tracks in which the saas feels that it is her mission in life is to make her bahu’s life hell!! I cannot praise Dastagir and Imran Ashraf enough; his love and sincerity for Mohid coupled with his amazing sense of humor makes his character one-of-a-kind. He is the sort of friend /brother/partner everyone wishes for and he comes with a very pleasant personality. Imran Ashraf’s acting has been top-notch right from the start. If he had gone overboard, this character wouldn’t have been as likeable as it is now. For the first time tonight, the viewers got to see Mishal and Dastagir having a ‘normal’ conversation and I must say that these two have made-for-each-other written all over them!!

Anmol continued to justify her actions based on everything that had happened in the past. While Mishal and her mother have forgiven, forgotten and moved on, Anmol finds it impossible to do so. The reality checks from her mother make her feel like a victim – she cannot tell why her mother cannot see that Mohid deserves to be miserable. These scenes in which Anmol’s mother tries to make her understand how wrong she is and Anmol reacts by crying or justifying her actions have been written beautifully and directed superbly. Mehwish Hayat is always very convincing in these scenes because of which I never have a problem relating to how Anmol feels, her expressions say it all! Anmol hasn’t questioned her actions ever even once therefore  she finds it impossible to believe that her mother finds everything about her actions so wrong.

“Tumhare dil ki murad mei aise kisi sahare ke beghair puri kr du ga.” The scene in which Mohid gets up to get water and every other scene in which Anmol feels frustrated and scared was hilarious! I am sure I am not the only one who loves Mohid’s new found confidence. Hamayun Saeed makes you feel for his character and the fact that this character is so well written helps too! The opening scene at the shrine was beautifully shot yet again, the director Nadeem Baig made the most of this location. “Maaei tu sub ki sanjhi hoti hei” scene yet again proved that a good director and a good script can bring out the best in an actor! The actor we all found highly unimpressive as Asher in Gul-e-Rana manages to steal the show every time in this play! For the first time we saw a man being ‘accused’ of not being able to give his wife children – now that was something brand new which could only have come from someone like Sabiha’s mother! Saba Hameed continues to be faultless in every scene. Asma Abbas manages to fit into every role like it was written for her, she is very versatile and immensely talented.

This episode of Dil Lagi was entertaining; this drama has it all, the right kind of emotions and it makes you laugh! It isn’t easy writing or directing a play which is dead serious and funny at the same time. The emotions of the people in this drama are not a joke but the situations can be so funny most of the times. Mohid is fighting a real battle and he needs to win it, Anmol takes her ‘struggles’ very very seriously yet their scenes together are always funny in some way. Thank you team Dil Lagi for another remarkable episode.

P.S: Readers who want to discuss religious matters in particular are requested to find an appropriate forum online and discuss such matters there. This thread is only for drama serial Dil Lagi – just in case there is any confusion – and there is absolutely no need to drag religion into Mohid/Anmol’s relationship or anything else!!! I managed to discuss the whole episode without bringing Islam into the discussion, I am sure we can all do that.

This was a beautifully shot episode with so many wondrous moments. I am sure some viewers will be very tempted to talk about how right or wrong it is to go to shrines, I personally feel that there was much more to this episode than just that therefore I would appreciate it if we discuss the developments in the story, acting and direction instead of sticking to that one topic!!

This episode opened with Mishaal refusing to accept Dastagir’s offer to drop her back home. The dialogue about the smirk on Dastagir’s face was very true and funny! Later on his conversation with Mohid also showed how fascinated he was with Mishaal. Dastagir is cute, witty and very funny. Mishaal is simple but at the same time she knows how to refuse an offer she is not comfortable with and she definitely believes in speaking her mind! Love both these actors in their respective roles and I find Dastagir’s fascination with Mishaal really cute!

The information Mishaal gave Mohid breathed new life into him and gave him yet another reason to try harder to make Anmol realize that his love for her was far stronger than the hatred Anmol felt for him. The way Mohid kept on dragging Fareed into their conversations was hilarious! He now knows that Anmol does not love this man but she despises him and she wouldn’t want to talk about him therefore he kept on talking about him to annoy her! As far as the scenes between Mohid and Anmol are concerned this had to be my most favorite episode because Mohid was a clear winner in this one. Also, for a change we did not hear the same dialogues from Anmol which were gradually becoming a part of every episode. There were also plenty of light moments between these two. Hamayun Saeed is very convincing in this role; he makes you like Mohid more than any other actor could have. Mohid is genuine – that is one thing about his character which is admirable. He has never lied to get what he wanted. He is also very intelligent and believes in speaking his mind just like his wife but he does not hurt people with his words, especially people who care for him and who he respects. There is an undeniable chemistry between Mehwish Hayat and Hamayun Saeed which makes their scenes complete.

This episode was full of meaningful conversations which were very touching. Mohid’s brief conversation with Mishaal and the one he had with Anmol’s mother showed that although he had not been able to win his wife’s heart but he has definitely succeeded in convincing Mishaal and her mother that he is a good person. Mohid does not need to show the kind of love and respect he shows to Anmol’s family but he does that because he thinks of them as family. Unlike Anmol he is not ‘using’ them for his short term goals. Anmol tried to convince Sabiha to run away because that would have worked in Anmol’s favor. Sabiha on the other hand proved that she was not as selfish as Anmol was! Mohid and Sabiha both have one thing in common – there are times when they put other people’s happiness before their own. Tonight for the first time we saw Anmol actually listening to her mother because she did not want to upset her again. There was definitely a change in Anmol’s character in tonight’s episode, she seems to be softening up or maybe she cannot find a way out yet! Anmol’s desperate phone calls to Fareed and his reaction was also an interesting addition. The scenes at the shrine were beautifully shot, they were meaningful and visually pleasing. The only problem was that it was supposed to be really hot but Mohid and Anmol were wearing very warm shawls and it was quite apparent that it was actually quite cold since Mohid was wearing a jacket before they left also!

Another scene which I thoroughly enjoyed was Mohid’s mother’s brief conversation with the woman who was sharing her problems with her. That woman’s remark was spot on!!! Mohid’s mother was always seen siding with the woman never the in laws before but now she knows better! All these ironic yet funny scenes were the highlight of tonight’s episode. Saba Hameed’s wardrobe just like her acting in this serial is superb. I love all these colors on her and the grace with which she carries these outfits. I especially liked Mehwish Hayat’s acting in those scenes in which she was clueless!

What makes Dil Lagi different from many other plays which showed similar scenarios in the past too are the intriguing characters, the subtle yet impactful gestures by these characters which define the relationship they have with each other and most importantly the fact that every single dialogue and every scene is beautifully written and directed. Tonight’s episode had to be one of my most favorite episodes of Dil Lagi because all the scenes were very meaningful and I love the turn the story has taken. Watching Mohid start afresh with no doubts in his mind was definitely better than watching Anmol play games with him. I am waiting to find out what exactly does Mohid have in mind. He is not the kind of person who will do anything which Anmol will find insulting in any way therefore it is impossible to guess what his next move will be.

I am eagerly looking forward to what turn the story and Anmol and Mohid’s relationship will take in the next episode. How many of you watched this latest installment? Please share your thoughts about it.

Although our heroine blames halaat very often for all the twisted decisions she made which changed the course of her life forever but actually Anmol’s overactive imagination and an obsession with assuming things is what landed her in the position she is in today. All through tonight’s episode Anmol kept on judging Mohid and while she did that she did not of course give him even a little benefit of the doubt. Even if Mohid does something good, Anmol manages to think of at least one solid reason which will convince her and everyone around her that he is not a good person. Anmol’s character has always been bold right from the start but until she made the decision to get married to Mohid, she used this strength for the right reasons, now all Anmol does is find ways to convince herself and even Mohid that he is the most despicable person on earth!!!

This episode opened with Sabiha telling Anmol details of her married life. There was nothing new about this conversation except for the part about the ‘kasm’. Anmol is someone Sabiha can confide in and it was rather ironic to see Anmol who is anything but happy telling someone else ways to be happy!! Anmol’s ego might have been satisfied the day she decided to take revenge from Mohid by getting married to him and investing all her energy into making his life a living hell but is she really happy? Anmol also tried to prove to Sabiha that sometimes you have to be selfish to win your happiness. Anmol is stubborn, egoistic and yes at times very unreasonable but somehow I don’t see her as a selfish person.

The references to all those Indian films which Anmol mentioned made me laugh because she said exactly what might be going on in the mind of some of the viewers but she made it very clear that this story was not going to end the way these films ended. Anmol and Mohid continued to argue about everything and anything in tonight’s episode. Although Anmol is no longer my favorite character in the play but Mehwish Hayat has certainly done what was expected from her character. Every time Anmol is around Mohid, she has disgusted expressions, which pretty much sum up how she feels about Mohid. She will do anything to hurt this man with her words and actions and there isn’t anything which Mohid can do to prove that he isn’t that bad after all! Anmol is so full of hatred for this man that she fails to see anything he does in a positive light.

It is so good to see a drama for a change in which the girl’s family in particular has not disappeared completely after she got married. All the characters in the play are given enough screen time in every episode which is something that should certainly be appreciated since nowadays there is a new trend of introducing the characters in the first few episodes and then completely relegating them to the background until they are needed to take the story forward. Anmol’s mother and her sister are a very important part of the story and even when they do not add to the story in any way they are given ample screen time. You are not left wondering where they went!!!! In this episode Anmol’s mother gave the same advice to her daughter which she gave in the last episode but this time she had a different tone. The reason Anmol’s mother gave for coming to meet her was touching! Good to know that there are still mothers in our dramas who we can relate to unlike Mannu’s parents who have decided to play numb all of a sudden!

The twist at the end of the episode was the most interesting part of this entire episode. Mishaal finally told Mohib the truth and the most amusing bit was that she had no idea what she had done!! The music in the background every time Mishaal and Dastagir meet and their nok jhok is always spot on! Dastagir’s character and Imran Ashraf’s acting is simply brilliant. There was a time when I thought that Dastagir was not the right match for Mishaal because she is a completely different person than him – much more groomed and educated – but now I think they look really cute together. And honestly speaking I would like to see Dastagir getting his happy ending.

I have not been able to connect to Sabiha’s character right from the beginning. Her track is repetitive and I find it really hard to feel for her. Mohid and Dastagir have to be the most interesting and likeable characters in this serial. Hamayun Saeed has managed to bring out the best in his character. I always find myself rooting for them. I am waiting to find out what Mohid will do now that he knows that Anmol had been playing games with him. Saba Hameed’s wardrobe and acting is always flawless but there are times when it is very difficult to like her character. She has a lot in common with her bahu.

Channel and Timings: ARY Digital – Saturday – 8pm

This episode just like any other 1st episode focused on introducing the viewers with all the primary characters involved in the story. The story revolves around two households which are completely different from one another. Surraya Khatoon (Asma Abbas) is a widow who worked very hard to raise her two daughters after her husband passed away and she was shown struggling even in tonight’s episode. Mohid’s household on the other hand is quite affluent and his mother (Saba Hameed) is very different from Surraya Khatoon. Anmol (Mehwish Hayat) got more screen time than any other character in tonight’s episode. Anmol’s character is definitely very “unusual”! She takes boldness and courage to a whole new level. This episode opened with showing how far Anmol will go to teach someone who wronged her a lesson and all through this episode the viewers saw Anmol doing just that! Whether it was the lawyer or the people who come to take over the house Anmol did not spare anyone including Mohid (Hamayun Saeed). Anmol is not just bold but she is also very practical. She works to earn a living for her family and when her family is faced with a problem, she goes out looking for solutions.

Mohid is the aklota beta we see in dramas all the time. He belongs to a very affluent family, he is maa ka ladla and he had absolutely no plans of tying the knot until he laid his eyes on Anmol! The first time Mohid saw Anmol, she was beating the man who snatched her purse and the second time he saw her she was beating up the men who came to throw their furniture out therefore one can safely assume that Mohid liked Anmol’s bold nature. Mohid’s dialogue “jhoote insan ke baad mujhe sub se ziada nafrat buzdil insan se hei” pretty much summed up why he would fall for someone like Anmol.

Mohid’s mother is another unconventional character in the play. She is someone who does not have a high opinion of men in general and her advices to the women who came to her for guidance clearly showed that she believed in a marriage in which both partners had equal rights. Not much was revealed about Mohid’s sister (Uzma Hassan) but I couldn’t help but wonder why she wasn’t married. She made a phone call which did appear to be “suspicious”.

To be honest I found Anmol’s character too Over The Top. There was a lot of screaming, running and hitting in this episode – just watching it on screen made me tired!! I found this episode more chaotic than anything else. Hamayun Saeed appeared on television screen after such a long time but he failed to make his presence felt. I always find his make-up extremely distracting and there was nothing special about his character as well. It is obviously too early to judge the characters therefore I am looking forward to finding out more about all these characters. I found Uzma Hassan’s character intriguing and I am hoping that there will be a ‘human’ side to Anmol as well. It is always good to see an unconventional leading lady who is bold but somehow I had a difficult time connecting to Anmol’s character in this episode. Both Mehwish Hayat and Hamayun Saeed failed to blow me away in tonight’s episode but I am very willing to be pleasantly surprised in the upcoming episodes. Saba Hameed made her presence felt just the way she always does. I liked the way the actors playing the leading roles in the drama were introduced in the beginning of the episode.

Overall, this episode was strictly okay. There was absolutely nothing about the story or the characters that instantly wins you over. The preview of the next episode showed Mohid asking his mother to go to Anmol’s house to ask for her hand in marriage. Will that lead to even more ‘chaos’? The interactions between Anmol and Mohid in the preview did suggest that they will have “rocky relationship”!
