The fact that Danish gave Mehwish divorce papers, means that he'd had them prepared before he had the meeting with Shehwar, right? Because I got the impression that he came straight home after that meeting. So does that mean that everything Danish has done in the last two episodes has been calculated?
And I'm going to preface this by saying again that I think Mehwish is an absolutely horrible person and in no way should Danish wrap his cheating wife in cotton through this whole thing. But I found his behaviour quite frightening.
This may be a problem I have with Khalil's writing though. I've only watched Zara Yaad Kar of his other stuff. But I find the way his male characters suddenly shift from complete devotion to this weird cold, almost dehumanising way kind of disturbing. When they're in love, to ghalat ko bhi sach keh rahey hotey hain aur bichey bichey chalte hain. And then when it breaks, it's like she never existed and isn't even a human.
Him divorcing and even the passive aggressive way he did it, I understand. But I dunno. When Afzal divorced Neelum, I thought Shukr hai, finally. But I'm a little unsettled by this. I think I don't like the mind games the heroes play and Khalil's elaborate revenge fantasies.
The actors are doing a good job, and the direction is spot on. And that's probably why I'm watching, even though I'm always complaining and ruining it for everyone else, lol.
