The secret is finally out, up until the last episode I was thinking that maybe Attiya paid Noori Gul to lie to Maya but everything that Noori Gul told Maya was right. Maya is after all Pari Gul’s daughter and everyone knows the truth now. Maya continues living in Rashid’s farmhouse, although she does not trust him and would do anything to leave from there! Does that make sense to you? Well it made no sense to me. One minute Maya says that she does not trust Rashid and she feels like she is imprisoned and the other minute they are “friends’ and Maya asks him to look for a job for her. As far as I know Maya was doing her A Levels, who would give anyone with that much qualification a decent job? Sometimes Maya seems like a very naïve girl, who is easy to fool but there are also times when she says things that only a very wise person would say like she tells Rashid about how long one has to wait before they finally decide to hunt someone down.
Frasier once again decides to play the journalist and extracts information out of an old employee in a local hotel. Is it really that easy to interview random people? He just goes to people’s houses and business places, tells them he is a journalist and people cooperate with him. Is he really a journalist? Am I missing something here? Frasier starts the interview saying he wants information about the hotel and very soon the two are talking about Shahzib. All of it seemed very unreal.
Shahzib also finds out that Attiya asked Noori Gul to come to their house to meet Maya (I don’t remember seeing that part, did anyone else see it?) and yet again threatens Attiya and says all those things that he has been saying for the past so many episodes! Shahzib cannot involve the police because he thinks it will be bad publicity for both his girls but at the same time the hotel employee and probably everyone in the area knows that Maya is not Shahzib’s real daughter and they also know that Maya has left the house. Frasier goes and tells Noori Gul too that Maya is missing, so why hide it from the police? It is supposed to be really cold in Murree at the time when all this is happening (the hotel employee mentions that two heaters are not enough to warm the room) but most of the cast goes around in T shirts or half sleeve blouses.
Meri Behan Maya is turning out to be a big disappointed, the plot is weak, the dialogues are misleading, the direction is strictly okay and the entire female cast especially Bindiya and Neelam Munir need to tone down on the fake eyelashes and the overall makeup.
Fatima Awan.
