This has to be the funniest episode so far! The fortnight long wait for the clash of titans was so worth it! Saima Chaudhry has finally met someone who makes her looks so understated that it has to be seen to be believed. The absolutely OTT Faree-D, the D a short for her last name Dharala, complete with her strange combo of a desi/British/Punjabi accent, the over teased hair, and the skintight pants and boots, is a sight to behold. Saima Chaudhry’s stupefied expression, as she watched Faree-D rap with her son Bobby-D, conveyed my thoughts perfectly: Is this woman for real?? Hina Dilpazir, welcome to Annie ki Aayegi Baraat – you fit in just perfectly!!
Apart from the excitement stirred by Faree and Bobby’s arrival, this episode also delved in to the stresses that Sila’s job has introduced into Azar and Sila’s marital life. It will be interesting to see how this young couple manages to ride out this difficult phase in their relationship. I hope that Azar gets this job that he has applied for. Clearly sitting at home is not helping him get over his feeling of unworthiness. Adding more fuel to the fire are Laila’s silly comments. Honestly, can she be a bit less chichori? First she cannot decide whether she likes Adeel enough to marry him, then the minutes she meets the rich and suave Yousuf, an old class-mate of theirs, she is immediately smitten. Girl, you need to grow up – asap!
As for the other two ladies, who are yet to commit to serious relationships, Naani has decided that she is going to London. Needless to say this sudden desire to meet the Queen has the whole family in a tizzy – what is Naani thinking of? On the other hand, there are definitely sparks between the charming superstar and the business like assistant director. Now that Mikaal is moving in with them, I wonder how long will it take for Annie to succumb to his charm, and can Mikaal stop flirting long enough to commit to a serious relationship?
Fabulous as she was today, I sincerely hope that Hina Dilpazir is able to continue maintaining the delicate balance between acting and over acting. At times today, she seemed to be testing the limits, but I am keeping my faith in Hina, Marina and Nadeem’s ability to keep Faree-D from turning into a caricature. Vasay Chaudhry was great as Bobby-D. Among the older gang, everybody else was their usual meticulous self. I really do wish though that Navin Waqar had gone out and bought a new wardrobe.
All in all another great episode; after a whole fortnight of watching weeping and sobbing women, Annie is such a breath of fresh air – great job once again by the entire team!
