The great escape is carried out by Shahmir and Ana. Nawab being Nawab is presumably the constant in the DuniyaPur world, and Nauroz’s cruelty makes us wonder why the peasants adore him so much.
However, first…How could Shahmir’s grandma be so cold-hearted?
Can a mother or grandmother be so callous that she will stop at nothing to exact her retribution, even if it means losing her sons and grandchildren? Is it possible for Nauroz Adam, the father, to wed his daughter to the guy who sexually assaulted his mother? Have the creators overlooked these subtler but more sensible issues, or is this the height of the new era of displaying senseless brutality?
Can a grandma who has been raped and knows that her granddaughter must have been raped by the same person also advise her to return to him?
Nauroz Adam’s Savagery Beyond Rational
We understand that Nauroz Adam was taking revenge from Nawab, but this continued savagery in the name of revenge fails to make sense. Nauroz has already lost three sons, (and hunting down a fourth), and he has DuniyaPur now, but to continue this in the name of revenge or survival at the cost of his children’s lives does not hold any ground.
Absence of Romance
Ramsha Khan and Khushhal Khan’s characters Ana and Shahmir have the ability to burn the screen. However, we don’t see the filmmakers capitalize on this amazing on-screen chemistry to provide us with a love story that lives up to the potential of these two gifted performers. This is why there were too many yawns in the dull drawing room scenario. Given how well the two appear together on screen, why couldn’t we be treated to more captivating interactions between them?
There is still time, and we hope that these two will bring a light to the DuniyaPur screen and lead us on a romantic journey that transcends their surroundings’ irrational and barbaric desire for vengeance.
Despite these misses, the episode was entertaining to watch, and given his history of misses, we were a little worried about whether Mir Hassan would be able to assist Ana and Shahmir in escaping. On a more positive note, however, we were glad that the script at last gave Mir Hassan something constructive to do.
