Dania is the only cktr that made sense. She had a motive. She had goals. She made a plan. She executed it. She achieved her goals. She didn't linger and left.
I saw what Dania doing as revenge (based on the writing that is and not the execution). That is, she came explicitly back to Pakistan to exact revenge on her bffs (both Sadaf and Ammar) who used her and then betrayed her. Her actions were designed to instigate Ammar and make him eff up. She plied him with alcohol. She lured him with flimsy nighties. She emotionally manipulated him with fake suicides. She played on Ammar's insecurities about Sadaf. She gave him that validation and ego boost his insecure ass wanted. She played Ammar like a master puppeteer. I don't think Dania was in love anymore. She was in love with him before but not anymore. She was a woman scorned and betrayed by her bffs. The moment she achieved her purpose which was the break up of Sadaf and Ammar marriage, her attitude changed. She was no longer babying Ammar and was curt with him.
The ronlwm was that the execution was cringe, performances were ott, and there were so many stretched scenes. But in a different director's hand and a crisper edit, the whole Dania revenge track could have been much more interesting. They were so worried about foreshadowing and giving away the reveal that Dania will dump Ammar, they played the whole thing like Dania was obsessively in love with Ammar, when the real motive, if you examine the writing, was revenge. If this was played like a revenge track by a clever vengeful Dania setting up dumb asses Ammar and Sadaf, this would have been much more watchable. I think execution and Haseeb forcefully trying to make this a suspense was more at fault here. Like I said, when I look.at the writing of the whole track, it seemed like it was supposed to be Dania's revenge.
