Totally understandable. For me her countenance, her body language, the nuances that are showing how miserable she feels are more honest than her actual words. Something even Burhan has brought up. She’s lying but her eyes say something else. Her words are just a cover to appease her mother and herself of this decision. And that’s all.
If you’re taking the lines on face value, yes. But Yumna + direction is just selling it to me that Nashwa is neither currently at peace nor will be with this decision.
Also I’m generally not looking at her through the lens of a heroine. She’s not your typical heroine. It’s a story of a very toxic house which reflects many houses in our society and generational trauma. It’s a criminal household and Nashwa is far from normal. Its not about lessons but her full journey for me. How can I take lessons from Nashwa or expect her to bestow wisdom on me, the audience, when she herself accepts her weaknesses and humanity so openly through the writing? “Main darr gayi thi…” “Main aakhir insaan hoon” and all that. She’s so deeply flawed so of course her decisions will be too.
Right now we are at the rock bottom phase for her. Which is fine, because she will not be rewarded for her bad decision in the story. She will suffer. For me this was necessary - I want to see her in Bisma’s shoes and later fight and escape this house. Otherwise the pay for me with her closure wouldn’t be that interesting. The main hook point IS that will she or won’t she turn out to another Bisma? (She won’t).
Abhi dukh ho raha hai tou baad main mazaa aaye ga. And honestly even this dukh is part and parcel of this kind of story. I’m totally hooked either way
