For some reason, this episode didn’t leave me wanting more. I didn’t quite enjoy this episode as much as I did the previous ones, mostly because I thought that some scenes were prolonged and stretched out to the degree where it could definitely have been shortened. So again, not much to talk about, but it could have been a better episode.
To start with, Iftikhar has just about had it with Shazmeen and Erum, mostly because as much as he tries to cover them up, they remain ungrateful in his opinion. I feel like he’s just going to leave them both by the next episode. Shahzaman has taken himself out of Malik Yawar’s grasp, and is now doing everything of his own accord. This was one of the scenes that I think could have definitely been made shorter. It just felt like it continued on and on. However, that slap was much needed, even though he deserved much more.
Meanwhile, Naina’s whole family has Naina convinced that it was Shazmeen that killed Anum and Faraz, not Shahzaman. And honestly, at this point, I’m just thinking how anyone can be so naive. Honestly woman, why would she want to kill her own daughter? Use your brains for once and stop being so easy to manipulate! Her character just irritates me. She falls into the hands of anyone and believes anything s/he tells her. As sad as that is, there are people that exist like that everywhere.
Moving on, we got another one of those glimpses of Wajahat when Shahzaman threatened Inayah that he wants a boy at any cost. It was actually quite interesting to see how he slowly is starting to show characteristics of Malik Wajahat through the little things. But, is he going to go too far and marry four women like his father did to achieve his goal? According to the front picture, it definitely seems so! And finally, Erum meets her old friend Soha, who seems very interested in Anum’s murder – a bit too interested if you ask me. Something about her seems really fishy, or maybe it’s just me.
Overall, not a great episode and it could’ve been better. Don’t know what happened, but let’s hope this drama doesn’t start to get weak and go into a downfall. I guess you could call it a filler, or a continuation of the previous one but in the same episode. Personally, I thought that much more could have been added. But again, the cast is doing a wonderful job and they have so much chemistry between all the characters that regardless of the slowness, it saved the episode. Will continue watching though!
