*** Daily Review 10/29 ***
Jo chahat hai, usko paane ki taakat dena
Jo Kismat hai, use Qubool karne ki himmat dena
These divine lines echoing in the background at the beginning
of the episode conveyed the deeper meaning of what the show and its name are
about. Life is about having the strength to achieve what you desire and is
about Acceptance, accepting your fate
as it comes and to be strong to cope with it, because what we get will not
always be what we want.
The montage, and the voiceover puts
across Qubool Hai being the story of three people, Zoya, Ayan and Asad, and as
the episode goes on, and finally towards the end, it beautifully shows how their
relation and their stories are interweaved.
Zoya ' The episode opened with her, her
prayer conveying her plight, confusions and motives clearly well. Her own words,
put across what a marriage means to her, a commitment for life time, which she
would accept and fulfill all her life. She comes across as a strong woman, for
whom her own feelings, her own wishes and desires go hand in hand with the
institution and the tradition she follows. A marriage is not a joke for her,
but a relation that needs to be stood by all life. Again her simple act of
surrendering herself to Allah bought us back to first two lines said in the
beginning of the episode.
Apki jo bhi
raza hogi, woh mujhe Qubool Hai, Qubool Hai, Qubool Hai
The scene where the Qazi questions her if she agrees with the
Nikah was a moment that stood out for me, not only showcasing her character's
strength but also very well showing how a woman has the will to take her own
decisions, and to judge what is good for her own self and her life.
"Islam use apni zindagi ka faisla khud lena ka hak
deta hai"
Those words said by the Qazi threw light on the rights and
freedom given to the women according to Islam and how like every institution it
highlights the empowerment of women. These lines are extremely impactful and
stay back in your mind. And have to credit the creatives for putting forth one
of their main motives of this show, right in the first episode.
Surbhi Jyoti, one of the leads of the show, a new face on television
but indeed not a new actor, leaves me really impressed with her acting, her
dialogue delivery and her simple yet impactful performance all through the
episode. The episode left me wanting to know more about Zoya, and Surbhi's portrayal
of the character definitely touched me.
?"Khamoshi apke saare raaz kholti hai,
khamoshi apke saare raaz kholti hai..suniye...
Ab khud toh talkative hai hi, apki jhooti bhi
bolti hai"
The entry of the flamboyant, flirtatious, charming and fun
loving Ayan was like a whiff of fresh air, almost like the way he zoomed in on
his bicycle. His mannerisms oozing the traits a fan of Salman Khan would have.
His shayari, not something unusual for someone as flirtatious as him, is very
unique because of the words he chooses, which make you laugh and adopt a liking
for him immediately. In fact the minute his voice echoed in the background, he
managed to impress. The dancing, flirting, and his child like jumpy attitude
make him likeable at once.
Rishabh is definitely a new actor but doesnt seem like one.
His performance shows no reluctance and seems like being Ayan comes naturally
to him, and you instantly know why he was chosen for the role.
His character is yet to be revealed and understood further,
and waiting to see his interaction with both Asad and further with Zoya.
No lines to describe the man who gets introduced next, because his silent actions is what described him.
Coming to Asad Ahmed Khan, the man who made us wait for his
presence right till the end, makes his entry eventually. His entry is much
awaited because of Karan Singh Grover, the expectations are more from the
actor, because he is known to ace in performing character he takes up and you
know exactly why, because when the character Asad comes on screen, you do not
see Karan perform you see Asad. The scene, when his warm hands touch
the vulnerable ones, guiding them to feel what they cannot see, Asad instantly makes a place in your heart.
It was an endearing moment to see him hold the hands of all
the visually weak people , leading them ..showing the
man he is, without any dialogue or description that followed about him.
The sequence, when he sings a song to them leaves you
back overwhelmed.
There
are no two things when it comes to Karan and his talent in emoting the
character he plays, and the ease with which he has played Asad is
visible. His sheer presence on the screen and it being after a wait of 2
years is enough to send hearts racing. I am sure him as Asad would win
us over like he always has.
At that same moment the shots of both Zoya and Ayan marking
their presence there, leaves you intrigued to see how they would meet, and how
their story supposed to be interwoven would be shown.
The first episode answered so much about the characters, also
at the same time leaving back a lot of questions. They have been
successful in leaving us wanting for more and going back to watch the episodes.
-
The other characters
shown, whether Zoya's sister and Jijaji, or Ayan's family, are definitely a
worthy choice for the roles, a lot of of them known faces and great actors,
waiting to know more about each of them..
-
The sets impressed me
mighty well, grand and totally befitting the concept.
-
The background score for
each character great till now.
All in all a brilliant first episode, with everything blended
well and apart from the actors characters and concept, it was visually
beautiful and serene.
I hope you all enjoy the discussions here and we all can
enjoy the entire journey of Qubool Hai with a mature perspective.
