Hello All! 😃So the first episode of Naamkaran was an absolute beauty! What i loved about the episode was that it wasnt lavish, on some great outdoor location or grand, i agree they have thier own beauty but the simplicity of the episode stole my heart. The cinematography was on point. The aura of lonliness and depression was conveyed across the screen brilliantly! 👏 👏
Next the actors. Barkha, Reema jee, Vraf, and Avni - what a bunch of talented people! They were effortless on screen .. so smoothly comfortable in their complex characters.
Now the story dynamics, so Barkha and Varf have given an impression that they are married when in reality they are in love and have an illegitimate child, who questions why they arent a normal family. I havent seen Zakhm, but i can see the similarities as i have seen the songs and have an idea about the plot. So barkha is muslim, that is why they mentioned Kashmir too and Vraf's mother is against thier marriage.
My only concern is that is the story about 10 years late for audiences because today's audiences may not relate to such a relationship, the taboos were more significant about a decade earlier as compared to now, but wishing this show all the best because it has the capability of ruling the charts if it keeps the pace.
Barkha and Vraf are two coward people who fell in love and instead of taking a stand for themselves, they played along the time until thier daughter has started to stand up and question. Is it right for two people to carry on a relationship hidden like this and raise a child just because you people couldnt move on?
I would love to see Avni grow up and question her parents, esp her mother, that why was she so afriad to demand her right? Because avni is not afraid and she is demanding everything she deserves.
Brilliant episode!
