Episode 1

Story Review

The episode started on the death of Hidayat Ullah. Mehrunisa is in shock state, her children are crying. Durdana phopho arrives from USA to take a last look of her brother.

Mahir enters his step father’s room and took some amount from his wallet while he was in the washroom. And then goes out in the lawn just to give impression that he haven’t enters the house yet. He met his mother, but stepfather scolded him for wasting his time and not finding any job. He left. He receives a call from his girlfriend, he gives her a lavish birthday dinner. He lives with his father, where he gets insulted often by his step mother.

Mehrunisa is having flashbacks of her marriage. she is remembering how she has sacrificed her young age and she has become a mature woman. She molded herself according to her husband’s choices who was much older than her.

My Take

I want to comment on the exceptionally good direction. The introduction of the characters was enough to understand them and their backgrounds.
