Show is getting its well deserved attention, praise n numbers.
The only problem I have and unable to connect is the fact that the whole family, society including the FL are so cool about the ra*e as if it's a small mistake. They all are so casual with the culprit ,and his father even brings that up to threaten his son to get him married to the girl they pick. How are everyone so casual about it n why no one is freaking out!!
So the Maheen case is a built up journey in the show which we will obviously come back to, #1. Then the other important thing to remember is that this is NOT Ammar’s first rodeo. He’s had multiple FIRs registered against him. This isn’t just your regular toxic household, this is a CRIMINAL family. Ammar isn’t the only one either. Behzad is implied to have been the same. Then Bakhtiyar and Barkat Bibi are small time criminals themselves with how they cheated the villagers out of their land, Asim out of his own property and that whole construction site fiasco. So the criminal shades are very much in place in the entire household.
The only people who would bat an eye when it comes to Ammar are Sidra - who has lashed out about Ammar deserving to be in jail but nobody was willing to listen to her. Then the other two are Nashwa and Bisma who have zero agency in that house. If you don’t have agency and are dependents on the likes of Bakhtiyar and Barkat then you just make do. The little outbursts that Nashwa has with Ammar is the most threatening she can afford to be in that place.
I like the realistic take on this. Criminals are always safe in such households. There’s either denial protecting them, or enablers or people who know they’re wrong but have no agency to do anything about it.
There’s also a deliberate way this has been written. Where you start off with the rape case and now it’ll get reopened once Ammar gets married. We will come back to it once it’s even more complicated for Nashwa than before.
