And curiosity killed the cat- no sorry in Afzal’s case usay muhabbat ho gai!
The grotesque and elaborate plan that Lubna and Farah describe to Afzal not only makes him sweat like a pig and then in most theatrical fashion faint. I mean the level of people pretending to faint in this drama is too damn high! The sister’s plan was nothing short of comical although to them, Afzal was solution to all their current problems. They will give Afzal 2 lac in turn of him agreeing to pretend and act out “muhabbat ka drama” with Farah. The “job offer” also comes with hazards and potential dangers as in watching out for abaa’s thappars and Bandooq ka nishana and jaan ka khatra. Afzal is comforted little by the fact that Aba ka nishan buhat baykar hai! The conversation between Lubna and Farah was hilarious after meeting with Afzal. These dialogues summed it up for me
Lubna: “Yeh aik shareef ghar ki larki apnay baap ko neecha dekhanay kay liye kiya kiya kar rahi hai”
Farah: “Aray chaloo, abhi chaar din howain hain us ko musalman howay!”
Lubna: “Jab koi naya naya muslaman hota hai na to buhat ziyada musalman ho jata hai”
The solution to all the sisters problems. 100 rakat namaze nafal. Pray to find Afzal’s replacement since his job acceptance is still pending!
Poor Afzal is suffering from love malaria and can’t stop thinking about Farah. Maybe she is the girl he dreamed about. On the other hand the Chawala household is in full mad swing prepping for the wedding. 50 biscuits, pardon me, bricks of gold and every choori with diamond’s embedded in it + Ferrari for mua dekhai. Mehtab’s affections know no limit when it comes to Farah, par abba ka faisla abhi baqi hai!
All in all, Lubna’s and Afzal’s conversation lays out whats coming up. The plan is basically to create a drama around mad ishq and deewangi for each other in front of parents. To end this drama, the final nail in the coffin will end with dramatic revelation that Afzal has been bewafa to Farah all along. I am assuming that moving forward Afzal will fall in love with Farah and he will genuinely love her but to the sisters it will all be a drama. Do share you predictions!
Next week Afzal comes to visit Ammi and Abba! Let the drama unfold!
I am very happy with the way Pyare Afzal is opening itself. The story although predictable is told in such a heartfelt manner and all the actors have done fantastic job in portraying the characters. And no one is probably happier then me knowing that Mehtab Chawla is not easily going to be swatted away – not yet. After all Farah ko muan dekhai main Ferrari bhi to milni hai :P Lets see who finally wins Farah’s pyar! – The Ferrari or Afzal?
