Spoiler Alert - Those who watch the show while it airs on TV please proceed further with caution as I will be discussing points pertaining to today’s episode which is already available for Hotstar premium users.
Through every fantasy/magic based book/show I have read/watched - one concept had stood constant - that magic comes with a price. Any form of wish/power one wants will require payment/price. Take the most popular magical series for example - Dumbledore tells Harry that had Voldemort understood the precise and terrible’ power of Lily’s sacrifice he would never have used Harry’s blood for resurrection.
People in this show summon Jinn’s and make deals them. Wealth is what most people seem to primarily want and that’s plausible too. Humans are inherently greedy for riches and at times go to extreme to make the same. Junaid is a prime example.
While Junaid had to give his first born child and to any loving parent that’s as terrible a price as giving one’s soul what Adaa has promised is literally that - her very own soul. Our soul (if one believes in this concept) is what makes us human . Adaa in her quest for Aman, for love has promised something that once gone will turn her into god knows what.
Love , I think, will extract a more terrible price by its very own nature. For even a Jinn must know it’s power. It’s both emancipation and destruction, absolution and curse. When it turns toxic it can cause wounds that are deeply painful. It’s earned not taken. It should be willingly given and cannot be snatched. It’s speculated that Voldemort cannot love because he was conceived under the effects of a love potion. Merope Gaunt lost her soul after a fashion and had no will to stay alive , once Tom Riddle senior left her.
So what will happen to Adaa? What will she turn into, once she pays her price. Because whether she succeeds or not , the Jinn is coming for her soul
Love is not something that can be made a deal with. Hope the creatives handle this effectively.
Comments, criticisms are all welcome.
