He came back.
I just want to talk about this one scene.
He came back.
The maturity behind the scene, the implications behind it. Gul Khan you have impressed me.
The episode in itself has left mixed feelings in me. I loved it at the same it felt a bit off as well. The episode was to highlight the horror that surrounds us.
People do walk away and turn a blind eye to these things just like Asad almost did today. Here Asad' s character is so well drawn out. A hero need not be a mahan who instantly battles the bad guys to save to damsel in distress. There was contemplation, there was realisation, there was regret. To see these emotions filter across KSG' s face. Take a bow KSG. Take a bow.
This isn't a love story - the message is clear. It's more than that. People might think he doesn't love her and that he needed to know of her intentions to save her. But that's not the point. That's not the big picture. The point is, he came back. Would he have done so if it was not Zoya but some other girl? Puts a damper on the typical God complex hero. The fact that he returned proves that he feels something for Zoya.
Is it love? It doesn't seem like it, does it?
Not yet at least.
The great thing about the scene is that it has me thinking. As a story teller Gul has made her mark.
Now coming to the bits that left me a little uncomfortable.
Was it necessary to show Zoya buried alive, Humera' s suicide attempt and not mention the bride who wanted to burn herself all in such a short span?
The morbidity of it all was a bit of a put off.
So yes a bit of a blow hot blow cold episode for me. But the important thing is it has me feeling something. That's always important.

PS- I really hope the editing team will do a better job now since the mahasangam is over. It was positively horrible today.
