DIARY of a QHian: The Crossover...
March 22:
Dear diary,
... Speechless ...by Alkaji's performance finally!👏 Every time I picked something from the show and people mentioned Alkaji...I felt- yeah she has always been good.😃 Never went beyond that.😳 Yesterday...I saw the star performer she is👏...Alkaji is one in a million.👏 She has made Raziya Siddiqui unparalleled in the world of Indian vamps👏...So subtle...so balanced...so vampish...so stylish...such a stellar performance in stark contrast to the garden variety of screechy, twitchy vamps on our screen👏...and if the Award Committes are blind to this...let me call them bats!🥱
WOW⭐️! Really!!!!😳
Alkaji's performance, along with some well written dialogues made Raziya's transformation such a delight to watch!😊 Gone are the days when she tried to contain the devil within..made up excuses to satisfy and keep one man...today she decides to live life her way😲...give in to the blood thirsty desires needed for survival😲...the crossover to the animal in her! Nothing can pull her back...the only emotion that remains in her probably is that towards Humeira...which is still only an animal instinct to protect its young one at any cost...😲 Maybe, Humeira's rejection will be what can jerk her back into a human existence...if that is ever possible for her again! Billo vamp may have been thrilled to see Raziya dance to her tunes..I am simply excited to see this ugly, mindless beast that was always dormant in Raziya!🥳
Billo: Like she said very clearly in monologue...her plans are going to surprise even Raziya😉...she is nothing but a pawn in her hands...they might be plotting to murder Gafur, but clearly he is not the fifth card...he is simply another pawn.😳
The fifth card: The one who has been hidden away for so long, but gets mentioned so oft off late?😳 Everyone tells us Rashid is getting better...Asad has a vaguely sweet smile at the mention of his father...there are so many lost father- son moments to make up for...?😳
The Daughter: I love the creative team for the way Zoya discovers her father👏..Tanveer does plan to reveal it to her benefit...but Muqaddar has other plans...destiny throws clues parallel to the fake ones Tanveer taunts her with, and Zoya is led step by step to her father...👏the whole parallel thing itself was such a treat to the QH pervaded mind!
The Other Daughter: I am loving Humeira Siddiqui!🤗 Here is a girl who loved to tag along a childhood friend...yearned for his love...learned to sacrifice her love for his freedom...lost herself in her mad desires for him...firmly rejected the hints of being a second choice...accepted him back in love...only to learn finally that the impressions of her childhood were simple false..when it came to a friend and lover..and a father...shattered idols...
...That threw her into the arms of a stranger...who felt closer than anything she had known till then...until she was threatened again with the feeling of being a second choice...first by Zoya, and now Ria...fought back with all her might for what indeed was her right...only to have her dreams shattered again...to the point that she realised there was nothing left to fight for...
Humeira...the child who was forced to grow up...and face the reality that her dreams were too childish...that her existence was going to be the monotonous constant of dredgery...forever...
Forever...since she believes in forever, like her sister...If Zoya swears by her love...there can only be one...Humeira swears by her love and marriage...she will stop looking further...if this was her fate, SO BE IT!!!
Wonderful progression in Humeira's story...👏
Haider: Ria was only the bait to trap Humeira... he wanted that confrontation at all costs... the uglier the better! Now he had the rules laid down...with the perfect explanation to his disinterest and hatred...How long until Haider realises that he is irrevocably in love with the girl he swears to ruin?😳 Mmm...Juicyyy...
Nikhat and Dadi: Khushboo teases out the confident girl in Nikhat..encourages her to grow step by step...and Nikhat blooms. Finally Dadi gets a track that does not bring out a yawn!😉
AsYa: Sidelined in all this paraphernalia? No way...
Asad seems to have work piled on him with the year ending...but he is eager to be with Zoya too...
Zoya...A woman is always insecure. She needs daily reassurance from her husband...of her looks...of his love...of her importance to him...something Tanveer knows about Zoya's psychology. She plants a seed of doubt in Zoya's mind...does her Mr. Khan really love her that much??? Beyond being a protector and companion and an eager lover...how far would he go for her? How important was she to him? After all, this was the man who deserted her once before, and he came back for his mother...Zoya could love enough for both of them..beyond demands of some silly romantic fluff, does Zoya dare to ask for more???
The Montage:👏
1. Zoya looks fearful. The truth has been revealed to her. The promise was of a declaration on the walima...which may not have happened..but she knows who her Abbu is...
2. Asad looks at Zoya accusingly? Did she betray him in some small way? If he was asked to choose between everything he has held precious from his childhood and Zoya, whom would he choose? ULTIMATELY...
Tanveer professes to know a man's fickle heart...she really believes love is a silly fairytale stupid girls like Zoya make up...what part would a man have to play in it?
Would Asad not prove her wrong and Zoya right? ULTIMATELY...
3. Raziya looks at Zoya. She must have been partially successful. She must have stopped the walima with Tanveer's help...but what of her plan to kill Gafur? And in spite of all her efforts...that worm of a girl KNOWS???! What would Zoya's next step be?
4. Tanveer fixates her gaze on Raziya. The Bee has fallen in her trap. Little does she know that Tanveer would not give up her Gafur Pawn so easily. Each pawn has to play a part...in her grand scheme...in this world, where she was the queen...would Raziya turn around and attack her own queen? And upset all her plans?
5. Haider: Looks searchingly at the audience...was he justified? Would justice be served by the means he took? Or would it make him a greater criminal to have robbed a young girl of her honour, her dreams, her everything? Could he be forgiven?
As of now, everyone is poised to fight for or against their destiny...except for Humeira...who has meekly laid down her will...her life does not even interest her anymore to say those two words...qubool ...hai...😳
Whatay story!😳😆
