Episodic Review - 2nd November
So far every episode of Qubool Hai has had something new to say and a lot of stories to be revealed. So far some episodes were either disclosing a truth, or revealing the reality of the characters and relations. But yesterday's episode was a step towards the story after the introduction to the base of the story and characters has been done with
It was lovely to see a light moment between the family, between Asad, Dilshad and Najma, after they had a hard time the last day, facing their past and pain. Najma's innocent yet sweet and adorable character was introduced in a nice way. And obviously through her interactions with Asad it was visible how much he adores her and how much she respects him and his every word. You can relate to Asad making Najma eat that calorific food and breaking her diet 😆 that's what our elders to as well. So much a scene from my house.
High light was when Asad reprimanded her for wanting to wear western clothes and going out. Obviously as most of us wouldn't agree with what he said, from his point of view he was not only wanting to abide by her tradition but was also protecting her.
On the contrary at the same time when he is explaining his sister the value of their 'tehzeeb' and how a person's thoughts make them modern and not their clothes, we see a Zoya wearing the same clothes he wouldn't prefer, dancing and playing around in her house. Once again showing the difference between the thoughts of both these leads. It will be amazing to see how these differences are going to be dealt with in the future, when they interact or eventually when they even fall in love.
The scene with Zoya and her Aapi was adorable, and further intrigues us about what Zoya's past is? One thing that I can't forget is how her Aapi says she will not leave her here to stay alone in the Hotels. Which means they'll be returning back to U.S soon, and when Zoya would want to stay back, she won't be left alone, she will probably be forced to get married and settle down if she wants to stay here.
The talk between Ayan and Rashid was another very important moment, because you feel a different feeling apart from anger and disgust for Rashid. At the same time Ayan's respect and admiration for his brother is so touching. He is trying so keenly to bridge the gaps between these families, more for the sake of his elder brother, whom he has seen broken and struggling without a father's hand in their life.
Its hilarious the way every time Ayan and Zoya have been at crossroads Ayan has gotten into some sort of trouble every time.And its great direction the way all three, Asad Zoya and Ayan keep crossing each other and affecting the others lives.
The highlight of the entire episode, or the last 2 of them is the relation that Asad and his Ammi Dilshad share. It is rare to see a man in this day and who is so obedient and respectful to his mother. The scenes yesterday said a lot about the respect and love Asad has for his mother. He was hurt, shaken and absolutely reluctant to meet Rashid but even then he came back to tell her he would do what she says. He has seen her struggle all life, in pain and despair, and he remembers that at every point not wanting to trouble or pain her anymore. The insight Najma gave about their life all these years again enforces the same and was touching.
The precap looks extremely interesting, so far the two interactions of Asad and Zoya have been wonderful to see, and this one borders on a light moment, can't wait.
