Episode 30 reviews
The ramblings of our perennially befuddled Farah Ibraheem continue. Today's focus was on her mangni ki anghooti- she rejected the one sent by Sabtain and promised her mom she won't cause a commotion on the day of her engagement if she gets to choose her own ring. Tham ke raho warna zindagi bhar key samhaley huey thappar abhi tumharey moun par de maroun gein- if only Farah's mom had used those thappars on an as-needed basis. And where else would she find the perfect engagement ring except at Afzal's? Afzal ki Maa ki Mother Teresa confidently went to meet Aunty Ruqaiyyah and put forth her humble request but was shot down by Arifa- zidd mein chohri hui cheez aaj zidd karkey maang rahi ho!

Lubna, the nagin, taunted Farah's plight- pasand ka maamla nahin hai, aqeedat ka maamla hai!Apney honay waley shohar ki ghairat ka imtehaan mat lo! Sabtain finally proved his mettle and put his foot down- Aaj apko puraani anghooti yaad agayi; kal ko apko puraana ashik yaad ajayega! He walked away calling off the engagement - mere profession mein badtameezi hoti hai, beghairti nahin! But Farah felt ashamed of the image Sabtain had of her and asked Lubna to convince him to reconsider. She didn't want to disappoint her father again either!

Yasmeen was hurt when Afzal said this is the last she will see of him- Jaan leney ke naye naye tareekay seekh liye hein tumney. But I admire her restraint. Unlike other drama stereotypes where girls are shown to be desperate behind a guy, Yasmeen didn't jump at Afzal's sudden proposal. Instead, she rejected him when she heard that Afzal ko zidd hogayi hai, mohabbat nahin! Larkiyan bari sensitive hoti hein Afzal, tum jaison ke khel mein dil har deti hein... There's no doubt that she loves him, but she knows her self-worth and that's essential for maintaining a balanced relationship. She figured Afzal's sudden change of heart wasn't out of the blue- there was a motivating factor and that happened to be the news of Farah's engagement. A weaker woman would have seized the opportunity but not Yasmeen- Afzal was acting on an impulse but she knew better.

I love how we have been given an opportunity to understand each character's traits in such detail. The interpersonal relationships have been the highlight of this drama. The dialogues as always are precious and I usually end up with pages of notes. We've been told that we're nearing the end but I feel there's still more to come. What did you think of today's episode? Kya yeh ending bhi mashkook hochuki hai?

Episode 31 review


Round and round in circles we go, clutching at successes we never grasp, endlessly tripping over the same old failures. Truly, life is the misery we endure between disappointments... yet another episode that managed to throw me off track. Afzal's promise (Zabaan deta houn- mangni karoun ga tumse toh shaadi bhi tum hi se karoun ga) coupled with Farah's inquisitiveness led Yasmeen to reconsider the proposal. Why, you ask? Your guess is as good as mine! After last week's rejection, I was glad the writer had taken the route to show a self-assured and confident woman who wouldn't settle as someone's backup option but all that changed in a jiffy with a simple "Yes". It makes you wonder- where are we going with all this?

As if that wasn't disappointing enough, Sabtain, who showed some hints of ghairat last week went back to being beghairat- bloody psychiatrist! So suddenly, he has realized that Farah should wear the anghoti jo usney mangaitar samaid wapas kardi thi... Kal Molvi SubhanAllah aapko anghoti pehnayein gei... If any of you are still confused, shoes are the new expression of love! No matter what size they come in! Is it a mere coincidence that Sabtain happens to bring along shoes that fit Lubna instead of Farah? Tum mera chora hua kya kya pehno gi? I'm most surprized at Lubna- this girl refuses to flinch despite the constant flow of venom targeted at her. Woh jo moun se laga tha, lahu nahin tha, kalak thi...

Molvi Sahab made his way to Arifa's room- adab ki jaga as he puts it. This man never ceases to amaze me- jo aap per meherbaani na karein unki saza yeh hi hai ke aap unpe meherbaani karein... Arifa refuses to give up the anghoti jo usney nishaani ke taur pe rakhi hai... As Farah has rightly guessed, ussey waqfay waqfay se badley lene ke daurey parte hein... What better revenge than watching Farah suffer in silence? Just as everything else she does without thinking of the consequences, Farah decides to call Arifa and enlighten her about Afzal's mangni- a decision she thinks he took to counter-attack her. The handsome bacha has managed to get her pretty worked up.

Jo rula sakta hai who impress bhi karsakta hai! Could there be a more precise description of our nishaaney-baaz Afzal? Farah uses the analogy of target killing to disclose the news of Afzal's engagement to the chichori kal ki laundi Yasmeen since bohat sarey khwab margaye! Farah's anxiety is at it's peak- she cusses to her heart's content and entices Lubna to do the same. Clearly the trauma of her experiences have rendered her insane- Afzal has leveled the playing field even if he has had to pay a steep price for it. While Farah tries to gather herself, Arifa announces with much fervor that Afzal too is getting engaged today! Farah's parents are in a state of shock but not more than our beloved Molvi Sahab and Ruqaiyyah Begum. Despite her disappointment, Ruqaiyyah is eager to speak with her future bahu and deduces from her voice that she must be shouk, chanchal, chehekti hui chiriya ki tarhan.

Both the ceremonies are taking place simultaneously- after Isha prayers. Farah's engagement is a lavish affair whilst Yasmeen is having a low-key event at her home. I really liked Farah's make-up and dress but then again, Aiza Khan can look good in just about anything! Yasmeen's dress was nice but I didn't like her make-up at all! She is naturally very pretty and it would've been nice to see her made up to enhance her beauty instead of bringing it down with that hideous foundation!

The past few episodes didn't highlight Afzal's "work" but we were given a forceful reminder of Afzal's rise from rags to riches. He was summoned by the higher-ups and asked to take down a target- one MP by the name of Zain Ahmed. Although it took up quite a chunk of the episode, this showdown was essential since the interaction stirred up emotions of democracy and sachaii in Afzal and this will probably be the turning point we've all been waiting for. There has to be a situation that will lead Afzal back to his hometown and this new-found hope could be it.

The engagements haven't taken place as yet so anything is possible from here on.

Jo tumharey liye tarpey, tum toh ussey tarpa hi detey ho! Afzal can't help it; he has that kind of effect on people- everyone around him inadvertently falls in love with him. His parents adore him; his sister is proud of him; Yasmeen was swept off her feet when she first saw him and Farah? Well, we know he has been on her mind for quite sometime now. It was time for the engagement ceremonies to take place- Yasmeen was quick to slip a ring on Afzal's finger and though Afzal seemed a bit hesitant, he was true to his word and like the gentleman that he is, he completed the rituals. I liked the contrast between both the ceremonies and the back-and-forth from one to another. Molvi Sahab & Co. arrived to bless Farah and Molvi Sahab brought along the ring that Farah had asked for. These people have heartaches of their own but they love Farah like a daughter and wanted to be part of her big day- Aunty Ruqaiyyah referred to her as sabse pyari, sabse Afzal! In a short span of time, they've grown to love Farah like a daughter. Sabtain's father insisted that Molvi Sahab will be the one to place the ring on Farah's finger but he's not as strong as he pretends to be and his heart failed him.

Luckily, he was rushed to the hospital on time and was on the road to recovery. From here on, my eyes were filled with tears. If any of you want to see what true love feels like, look no further than Molvi Sahab and his wife. Betey ka attack heart attack se ziada barahota hai- tab kuch nahin hua ab bhi kuch nahin hoga! 28 saalon mein kabhi mujhse dagha nahin kiya... Dua mangkar bhi dartey raho toh lagey ga tumhe qubool karney waley pe bilkul aetebaar nahin! Such is her faith not just in Allah but in her husband too. Though Molvi Sahab has given fatwa after fatwa against his son, the only person he called upon while he was delirious was his na khalf son, Afzal. In keeping with the spirit of today's fast-paced episode, Afzal made a dash for Hyderabad but not without Yasmeen and his gang of friends.

The last few minutes were epic- from Afzal holding Yasmeen's hand as he raced up the stairs to Farah seeing the two of them together (paying special attention to the close proximity and the ring on her finger) and finally Afzal comforting Arifa and going down on his knees in front of his mother! What a powerful scene that was! Yasmeen looked gorgeous and even more confident than ever before! I have to say, this was another memorable episode for me- I was completely moved to tears. I just hope my tears of joy don't turn into tears of pain! I'm getting a sinking feeling ever since Afzal stood up to those who were funding his operations. We saw another scene that suggested Afzal has made more enemies than he can manage. Now that they are engaged, I'm torn between who I'm rooting for- as much as I would like Afzal to end up with the woman of his dreams, I really wouldn't want to see a broken-hearted Yasmeen!Did this episode strike a chord with you? Aren't you glad Afzal's back

From start to end, this episode was flawless. The dialogues, the execution, the sparing use of background music, the actors par excellence, could this possibly be the greatest drama bar none? We are nothing without our relationships and Pyarey Afzal has brought our attention back to the very foundation of our existence- our family. Ruqaiyyah Begum's naraazgi lasted only a few seconds- Kaun ho tum? Dekh kya rehey ho? Abba ka sunkar agaye ho aur Abba ki sunay baghair chaley gaye? Bara admi banney gaya tha k****** aya toh itna chota hai apna beta dhoondna parrahaa hai! Yasmeen's presence softened her further and she wasted no time welcoming her into her heart.



Molvi Sahab was equally pleased with Yasmeen- coconut ke biscuit churaney ayi ho tum? How adorable are these "Allah waley log"? Yeh hamarey paas rehney aye hai toh bas phir reh jao hamarey paas. Not the slightest pretense, they love without any prejudices. They wouldn't be wrong if they were to hold a grudge against Yasmeen but instead, Ruqaiyyah was surprized that her Afzal found himself a girl- ek number ka gunda hai yeh- tumhe bhi murder kar dega! Molvi Sahab was still upset with Afzal- jaisa bhi hai, tarap toh raha hoga! Woh 7 mahiney baad roraha hai, hum 7 mahiney se roh ro rahey hein. Uska maatha chumu, ussey pyaar karo, duaaein dekar rukhsath kardo! Kambakht saamney agaya toh phir yaad aney lagey gi.

Afzal's interaction with Farah's yektarfa mangaitar was awkward but amusing nonetheless. Waise toh mei doctor houn lekin yakeen ki jiye iss waqt mera haal marizon se bhi ziada bura hai! He was curious to know about the mystery khat likhne wali and Afzal admitted woh kisi aur ko milgayi. Hamza Ali Abbasi has proved his brilliance time and again with every facial twitch and has mastered the look of the lovelorn hero.


Farah was unable to control her inner green-eyed monster and this time around, other than cussing, she decided to take matters in her own hand- ab dekhte hein kismey kitna hai dum! Tabiyat theek hai meri, Iraadey theek nahin and she dropped the bomb on Sabtain- Sunday ko baraat na ayi na toh phir tum apney ghar pe behtna ya phir apney sarey huey clinic pe. What's so special about Sunday? Besides the fact that it happens to be my birthday (true story), it was the date of their engagement. However, fueled by anger and resentment, Farah now wants to see if Afzal would go all the way and marry Yasmeen on the date she has decided to get married. Dum hai to muqabla karkey dikhai. Farah still sees this as a competition- little does she know, she's fighting to keep her sanity intact! She has managed to cause herself more harm than she realizes. Sabtain's session with his patient was hilarious- this is probably a glimpse of his own future methinks. His narrative about the haathi and the possibility of him riding it on the baraat was nothing short of epic.



Molvi Sahab's return home was not without further drama. With Afzal at the door, Sheikh Sahab tried to play the devil's advocate- Ek baar bulakey pochiye, uskey moun se suniye ke woh haqq mein hai ya batil par. Ruqaiyyah's blackmailing always gets the work done- Mat bhuliye Molvi Saheb, baap aur molvi ki larai mein molvi ko shikast-e-faash hochuki hai. Ek bechari maa ka dam nikal jayega. And finally, Afzal was back to his roots with strong instructions to remain away from his father. But Yasmeen managed to get him to come around- iss mohabbat ki siyasat se dil bhar gaya hai. Bula lo uss maa ke Afzal ko! Let's see how Afzal utilizes his stipulated 2 minutes with his Abba. Farah felt the sudden urge to go over and congratulate Yasmeen on her recent engagement since thori bohut dosti hai and also return Molvi uncle wali anghooti! Farah is on a suicide mission and it will be exciting to see her come face-to-face with Afzal!
