To cut a long story short the manipulative devil spawn that is Dilkush has managed to blackmail the slightly slow off the mark Sameer into marriage. How exactly does a 17 year old get the better of Man 12 years her senior? Well she sits outside his house in the pouring rain no less and plays the well-worn “meri Izzat” card. Look I am sorry, Doctorate or whatever in psychology notwithstanding, but Mr. Sameer Malik strikes me as a one sandwich shy of a picnic .A more sensible man would have marched her home and said “see you in two no five years’ time “. Of course he doesn’t because this is a romantic comedy and sense is the first thing thrown at the window.

Dilkush has to be the least likable character I have seen in a long while. She is rude, loud and cares nothing for the hurt she is causing other people. Mehar Bano has not added any charm to her role either and in some scenes I felt she could have underplayed the larakapan a bit. Her confrontation with her head teacher left me mortified and I really can’t see what Sameer sees in her.  If that scene was meant to be funny in anyway it failed miserably. I am still hanging in there because episode 5 showed that these two are about to discover the realities of their situation. Dilkush is just a little girl who has no idea where the money for her lifestyle comes from. It is quite clear that though her heart maybe full of love and understanding for Sameer but she has no idea how to deal with Sameer and her mother’s clash of egos. That old saying about marrying in haste and repenting at leisure seems to sum up the story so far.

The bright spot in all of this has been Gohar Mumtaz whose, Sameer is likable and quelle surprise sings really well. The music has to be a huge plus point for this entire drama. What I am missing is the usual laugh out loud comedy in a Faiza Iftikhar script. Most of the good lines have somehow gone to waste: when Dilkush says her friends are the most kamina people ever. Samir’s neighbors had a few good lines but these things require timing and editing which I am not sure the director took full advantage of. Despite my complaints this serial is high on TRPs and I am guessing Gohar and his fan following may have something to do with that. As I said still hanging in there to see what happens.
