Seems like episode 1 and 2 were introductions to the present time and past time. Hope the story shapes up in the next episode.
I loved episode 1 with all the suspense and especially the dialogues, the acting was always very well done by all of them.
Though the second episode disappointed me a little bit about all the foxy talk. Everyone loves an old vintage car but the way Gulraiz talked and felt about it was a little too dramatic and the fact the other characters built upon all the foxy drama was a little too much. It was like "trying to be funny" and as other said it, it all looked a little forced.
One thing is for sure: they used to be one big happy family and an incident changed them all and left them in sorrow. A sorrow created by Waqar out of majboori that lead to (most probably) Gulraiz dead and Maheen's forever singularity (a widow or an unmarried).
Waqar and Mushi Alam's relation said everything about the situation and how "bad" it is. In the first episode, Munshi Alam didnt hug Waqar at the airport and his dialogues were also very sharp at him. In the second episode, he was welcoming Waqar with a hug and a smile and he talked to him with respect. In the present time episode 2, Munshi Alam also put a caring hand on Maheen's head. This behaviour of his tells how much the characters changed and how they blame Waqar for all the bad. In the same day where Munshi Alam blamed Waqar, on the same day he showed caring towards Maheen. Waqar did something that even the house-taker turned his back on him.
So Waqar meets with everyone after many, many years. He didnt even recognize Maheen. I actually dont like that fact; that the abroad living family member doesnt know anyone - people do visit and if not then at least they do have some information about each other. Dont know, I just feel this concept of "not-knowing-each-other-for-years is a little bit too much used.
The relations are clear now:
- Kaneez Begum is the mother of Dastur Ahmed and Suraiya.
- Dastur is married to Mehrunnisa and they have a son, Ali. (Ali called Kaneez Begum for dado.)
- Suraiya has two daughters, Maheen and Fajjar. (Guess the big guy shown in promos is her husband, she isnt a widow since she still grooms herself as a married woman, she seemed like one tho.)
- Neelum is Gulraiz big sister (her behaviour points at it).
- Neelum and Gulraiz are grandchildren of Kaneez Begum, her other daughter's children. (Neelum called Kaneez Begum for nano, Dastur for mama, and Suraiya for khala.)
- Wali and Neelum are newly wed.
- Waqar is another grandson of Kaneez Begum. There is no sign of his parents. (The big guy could be his father though).
