LAAPATA Episode 5

Story Review

This episode started with a bang. Shams went for a job interview in the end of last episode, but he didn’t returned till the evening, his phone was also not responding. A man knocked and inform that there is a dead body in the hospital with the name Shams. Falak, Hameed and Khursheed went to identify the body. But he was someone else. whole family become really worried about Shams. Everyone was restless and praying for his return.

Geeti regrets her actions of going to peer baba. She cried alot and prayed for the well being and safety return of Shams.

When Shams was going for the interview, he got caught by the inspector who was involved on gambling. He illegally kept him in jail. And beats him vigorously. His friend Logic left the city immediately with the family. Hameed and Khursheed went to police station for the lost complain but the inspector misguided them and fooled them around.

The Hakeem started packing his stuff to vacant his place as soon as possible so that inspector could not get him. But his assistant suggested that inspector will find them where ever they go, so they must do something with him before leaving the city. So Hakeem met inspector and give him poison in the drink.

Falak suddenly recall that she heard name Hakeem. So she informed Hameed chacha but when he visited Hakeem’s place, it was already empty.

My Take

This drama has some very good directorial edits. But as far as this episode is concerned it was a little heavy to watch.

  • Falak, Hameed and Khursheed reached to the hospital’s cold storage the sound of Falak reciting “Innalillahe wa Inna ilehe rajioon ” from the back ground was giving goosebumps.
  • When the inspector was talking on the phone, the screams of Shams from the background were very painful as well.

These small details creates great impact.
