Pyaare Afzal: Daily Discussion Thread - Page 82

Short reviews of episode 8 to 12 because these four episode are most dragging episode of pyare afzal


When a drama makes you smile from start to finish of an episode, you can't help but appreciate the creators for a job well done. Pyare Afzal has been a treat to watch. It falls perfectly in the romantic comedy genre and the best part is how everything is contained without going over-the-top.

The scheming sisters, Farah and Lubna have been busy planning every single move but somehow, luck seems to be favouring Afzal at the moment. Sheikh Sahab and his wife are certain that there can be no better suitor for Farah. Farah was relieved with her parent's approval and decided it was time to chuck Afzal by planning his betrayal. Lubna cautioned her saying it would seem too unbelievable and she needs to take it slow. With Mehtaab's return to the scene, Farah panicked and gave Afzal the go-ahead to meet their father at his work. Afzal is playing along since deep-down he knows this is the closest he can get to Farah.

Mehtaab's suicide attempt faltered, just like everything else but his exit was one that made everyone take notice- the scene where the servant comes running and informs them of Farah's jhoola (swing) being on fire. I get the feeling that we haven't seen the last of Mehtaab and his action was a warning of what is yet to come.

Afzal was on cloud nine when Farah told him to let his parents come and ask for her hand. Lubna seems to function more as Farah's think-tank than her sister. I like the contrast between the two sisters- Farah is very impulsive and can't think beyond the moment. Lubna is more poised and thinks for long-term goals.

Afzal's admission to Molvi Saheb was brilliant- It's refreshing to see a Molvi who, despite his high morals, understands that he can't control the lives of his family but at the same time, he's always there to remind them of right vs wrong. Arifa carelessly blurted Lubna's name which made Afzal furious. Despite everything, Afzal is a man who honours women and would never even think of defaming them. That is his one redeeming quality and certainly one which can seem all her other qualities seem irrelevant.

I'm anxiously waiting to see how Afzal's parents ask for Farah's hand in marriage and how Farah will try to weasel out of that! The use of colors, the soothing soundtrack and the crisp dialogues have made this one of the surprise packages of the season. Kudos to the team for their vision and narrative and for the cast for their commendable performance.

At the end of last week, Afzal declared his desire to get married. His parents mocked him initially but upon hearing that the girl of his dreams was the daughter of none other than Sheikh Saheb, they were at a loss for words. Arifa was unconvinced with Afzal's story and confronted him yet again. The identity of the girl who writes letters remains a mystery and if I were to go out on a limb, I'd say Afzal writes those letters to himself. He is in awe of Farah but he knows she's a distant dream. Love makes us do crazy things and writing letters to oneself is the least of them!



The perky duo of Farah and Lubna walked in to find their mother making lavish dinner arrangements. As is their nature, they were curious to know who were the guests of honour. Having realized that Afzal's respectable' family were on their way, Farah resorted to praying Nafils! I loved Lubna's matter-of-fact retort that she was up against a man of great virtue- a highly-regarded Molvi! Lubna triedtopacify her mother by hinting that Farah is no longer interested in Afzal and her mother replied with a slap across her face! Realizing her mother's flaring temper, Lubna rushed to caution Farah of the impending doom that lay ahead.Afzal's parents were making preparations of their own. His mother, though elated about her son's prospective marriage proposal was a nervous wreck. His father was still in disbelief but was looking forward to the meeting with the Sheikhs. After some deliberation, the SubhanAllah family made their way to ask for Farah's hand in marriage. Molvi Saheb's enthusiasm was evident with the way he asked for permission to allow the engagement ceremony to take place after dinner.



Despite Lubna's admonishment, Farah boldly blurted out in the presence of both families that she thought very little of Afzal and had struck a financial deal worth 8 lakh rupees for him to play the role of her love interest just so her parents would call off her engagement with Mehtaab! Afzal's parents were humiliated and hurt and left in a hurry.Farah's haughtiness was at its peak today but it really comes as no surprise since she was shown as being extremely self-absorbed from the beginning. Lubna, as always, was the wise owl but this time around, Farah wasn't open to any advice. Today's episode (unlucky 13) was very engaging and fast-paced and I'm actually glad that Farah didn't play along with the engagement else that would've slowed things considerably. The Sheikh's home is just beautiful and leaves me spell-bound every single time! Afzal's conversation with his friends towards the end melted my heart. Hamza Ali Abbasi is proving to be a very competent actor. Ayeza Khan looks refreshing in this role. Both her and Lubna's wardrobe is refreshing and compliments them. Overall, Pyaare Afzal is a visual delight with a calming feel. Looking forward to next week when Afzal faces his parents.

I always care about the heroine

A show only icks when both the hero and heroine are good

I don't think pyaare afzal wud hv been what it is if some other random lower league actresses played Farah lubna and yasmeen

Ayeza sohai sana javed added as much value to the. Show as hamza

Heroines always matter

Now that hamza is so costly I m really afraid they may cast a low budget actress with him to balance out the cost

But I really hope it's a good low budget actress

Not some x y z who will ruin the show for general viwers who watch a drama as a whole

I agree with u heroin also a reason behind success...
But I don't think hamza is very costly...because in his interview he said I don't care about money I prefer always a good scripts... And I think they don't ruin their show with bad heroin ...they also choose perfect match for him.

No matter how difficult it may be, love your children anyway! Molvi SubhanAllah is the epitome of a loving father. Last week, Molvi Saheb offered his wife a sleeping pill to cope with their hurt after being insulted at Farah's house. Late at night, when Afzal returned, both Molvi Saheb and his wife decided they would deal with him in the morning. Little did they know that Afzal had made up his mind to leave the city and move to Karachi. His mother couldn't stop herself from slapping him, trying to mask her pain. Afzal is not only heart-broken, he is also very embarrassed. Yet, in not so many words, he managed to convey his feelings of unrequited love to his father. With great compassion, Molvi Saheb tried to explain to him that loving someone may not be in his control but he should ensure never to tarnish a girl's reputation. I think it shows great character that Afzal respects women despite his other flaws. The way he asked his father to instruct his sister to leave the room, showed his deep-rooted values.

Arifa's curiosity got the better of her and she finally unlocked the mystery behind the letters- or did she? The letters were signed by Farah but we've already established that Afzal always thought of Farah as the woman of his dreams. Did Farah actually write those letters or was it Afzal who wrote those letters to himself?

Sheikh Ibrahim was deeply upset- he confided in his wife that his gut instinct tells him that Afzal was sincere and he can't face him anymore. He decided to hide out in his home. Farah, who seemed a little perturbed initially, bounced right back and hopped on to college with Lubna once Lubna validated her actions. Farah's dependency on Lubna is very evident and it almost seems like Farah needs Lubna to stand by her and guide her through things. As different as both may be, they seem to be inseparable.

Afzal was disappointed with the recent happenings and just wants to get rich quick! He thinks that money is the key to respect and ultimate happiness. His friend laughed it off saying that such things don't happen overnight and he should remain realistic. Will his desire to make money corrupt him again? The preview from next weeks episode shows Afzal placing a huge bet on a cricket match!

Farah's arrogance soared to new heights when she spotted Afzal on the street. She seems to think that Afzal is deplorable and doesn't shy away from voicing her contempt. Lubna warned her not to over-react but when their driver abruptly stopped the car to avoid a collision with Afzal, she got out and gave him a mouthful. She accused him of trying to cash in on the situation and thinking he could make his way into her life. Next week we will see a showdown between Farah and Arifa. Cat-fight, anyone?

I feel the drama is losing it's pace and for that reason, I wasn't as excited about this episode as the previous ones. Let's just hope this doesn't go downhill from here on

Instant gratification! That's how I felt after watching today's episode. After last week's sleep-inducer, this week got my heart racing. Poor Afzal, this guy just can't seem to catch a break. He has walked through the various stages of unrequited love- admiration, beginning of desire, hope, inception, doubt and finally heartache. And what does he do to mend his broken heart? He resorts to his bad boy ways again. His conversation with his friend Babloo made me wonder, is he trying to convince himself that he's still the same or is he trying to make it easier on his parents to let him go?

Afzal has made up his mind that he wants to leave for Karachi but he knows his mother wouldn't hear of it. His dilemma was evident from his conversation with Saajid:
Afzal: Mera Zameer mujhe keh raha hai ke chala jaa..
Saajid: Toh phir maa se kyun pooch rahay ho, chalay jao.
Afzal: Chala jaoun ga Saajid, bus mujhe koi ye bata dai k maa bari hai ya zameer bara hai..

Lubna called Arifa to give her a heads up about the incident that transpired between Farah and Afzal. Arifa lost her cool and made a dash to Farah's home. She defended her brother and accused Farah of being a lying, deceitful woman. Before Farah could react, Arifa threw the letters at her and left just as quickly as she had arrived. Hearing the accusations, Farah collapsed- ah gain! Does it not worry her parents in the least that their seemingly healthy daughter faints at the drop of a hat? Hmm, time for a medical exam maybe...

Moments after waking up from her temporary loss of consciousness, Farah jumped in the car with Lubna and headed for Afzal's home to set the record straight. I found it rather noble of Afzal's mother to welcome Farah and Lubna with utmost courtesy. Moreover, she believed Farah when she confessed that she had hired Afzal but never written a single letter to him or anyone else for that matter. Afzal, having won the match he gambled on, walked home to find Farah and Lubna and before he knew it, his mother smacked him across the face.

Molvi Subhanallah walked in and tried to calm his wife who blurted, " Phir say chori karte huwey pakrah gaya hai ka*****, pehle sirf chaynn churaya karta tha, abb toh jaan hi nikaal di!" Molvi Saheb has been one of my favorites; he is a role models for parents in general and fathers in particular. He knows Afzal isn't perfect, but he never tries to force him to change. Instead, he gives him space so he can evolve into the son he dreams he will be one day.

Molvi Saheb extended the same courtesy towards Farah and Lubna as his wife and insisted upon gifting Farah before she left. A part of him sees Farah as his future daughter-in-law but even though that seems highly unlikely, he still adores her nonetheless. It was very refreshing to see that both Molvi Saheb and his wife didn't exhibit any malevolence. SubhanAllah for Molvi SubhanAllah and his wisdom.

The last scene showed Afzal packing his bags. Will Afzal finally leave for Karachi? Will Farah have a change of heart? Has Lubna developed feelings for Afzal?

Now this episode totally ruined it for me. After last week's fast-paced, mercury riser, my expectations were impossibly high but I guess they just couldn't top that! Either the writer dozed off and lost track of the storyline or just lost interest altogether, I couldn't make sense of today's episode.Bear with me as I try to recollect. Apparently, upon her return journey from Molvi Saheb's home, Farah has instantaneously developed the power of premonitions! Suddenly, she knows' everything to do with Afzal. What he's thinking, how he's feeling, and when he's leaving. Umm, yes, so she also knew the exact time of his departure from Hyderabad! Farah was on the verge of tears after last week's showdown at Molvi Saheb's home but within moments she shifted her focus to the jhoola? ADHD alert?

Arifa is beginning to get on my nerves now. Does that girl have nothing better than to be her brother's shadow? They really haven't shown her do anything else besides harass Afzal over his day-to-day activities. Kahan se arahe ho? Kya chupa rahe ho? Khao meri kasam! Who khat kis ke hain? Kya karogay? Let him breathe, woman! It seems that Arifa's obsession has passed on to the deadly duo of Farah and Lubna. All they seem to do is discuss Afzal.Molvi Saheb was his usual charming self. I adore his efforts to make his wife smile- true love indeed! If only Afzal had learned a thing or two from his father, he may have had a better shot at love! Upon finding out that Afzal had left, he made contingency plans and arranged for a doctor to accompany him after Fajr when his wife would wake up.

Afzal had already made up his mind he was not going to stay in the city anymore and go to Karachi to achieve his dreams of becoming a bara aadmi. That was why he took the plunge into gambling one last time so he could make enough money for his trip to the city of dreams- okay, so Karachi isn't exactly a city of dreams but Afzal seems to think so. He assured Babloo that he has no intentions of returning and he would drown himself if need be-Sharam samandar se ziada bari hoti hai! Finally, Afzal caught the train to Karachi. Yipee. With a broken heart he remembered his various encounters with Farah. His reverie was interrupted by a mother/ daughter pair and I get the feeling we will be seeing much more of them. New love interest, maybe? Who knows?

I hope they don't drag this drama beyond 20 episodes. There's only so much melodrama that I can handle.
