Namal (Episode 24)- Review by Shoby

Whenever I read There, I Still Will Be, poem from the award winning poetess Mirtha Michelle, it always reminds me of Mohabbat Ki Adhoori Nazm by Amjad Islam Amjad sb. Although written in different languages, the eccentric essence & flow of both these poems (i.e. There, I Still Will Be & Mohabbat Ki Adhoori Nazm) is almost identical. Check how these two have that amazing indistinguishable harmony when it comes to the symphony part of these poetic pieces:

Mirtha Michelle writes:

I gave you the sun 

But you wanted the moon.

When I gave you the moon, 

You wanted the stars.

So I reached blindly, 

for the most infinite stars, 

And wrapped myself 

Around each one of them, 

Just for you.

The stars, 

the moon and the sun combined, 

Weren't enough for your fickle heart.

So I took my tears, 

And made you a sea, 

So you can sail the earth 

And find the impossible treasure... (There, I Still Will Be)

And Amjad sb says:

Agar sitaroo’n mein, Aus khatroo’n mein, khushboo’n mein na pao mujh ko,

To apney khadmoo’n mey dekh lena,

Main gard hoti musafatoo’n mey tumhey miloo’n ga... (Mohabbat ki Adhuri Nazm)

Let me tell you one thing about There, I Still Will Be... This poem is all about going an extra mile for your loved one. The level of sacrifice and the state of being a complete giver depicted here is simply superb. It tells us how one should always be ready to present almost everything for someone we love from the heart. And one more thing, its not about give or take, when it comes to love. Rather, its about giving without any expectation... Without any anticipation... and perhaps this was the reason why Nemrah Ahmed started this episode of Namal from this poem.

Tootey Taarey ka Dil takes the first frame from my favourite place. Yes you guessed it right #FoodlyEverAfter Faris is away (most probably for Aabdar) leaving the sleeping beauty (Zumer) behind. Ahmer has successfully gained Hashim's confidence and Hashim has successfully gathered almost all the evidences to prove Sadi a terrorist. Question remains who is willing to help Hashim in this regard and most importantly WHY???

Drop-scene of Aabdar's suicide episode is here. Faris thinks its a cheap luring gimmick as she was just faking her suicidal attempt, however he was wrong. But one thing highlighted by Aabi here is quite an interesting challenge for Faris, Woh (Zumer) tumharey liye Faris Ghazi, Aisa kabhi nahi karey gi.

At Morchaal, I humbly request the beauty (Haseena) not to practically implement what she was hinking to do (Zehar waley Parathey for Sadi). Nevertheless we have come across a safe & sound Sadi after whole lot adventure & drama :p

Sadi wants to leave the home & Zumer stops him doing so. Much valid arguments presented by Zumer. Kisi ko tumhari zarurat nahi Sadi magar mohabbat ke tehet... And an honest attempt by Zumer succeeds as Sadi says, Main kahi nahi ja raha. Mujhey kahin nahi jana.

Kahan gaey they is a typical Non- Zumerish style of question, considering she was questioning Faris whereas Teesri bivi ke paas is a typical Faris style of response :p ha ha ha

Due to the video controversy, apparently a small rift is visibly growing up & converting into a bigger issue between Haroon Ubaid & Jawahiraat. At times I feel I am watching a high voltage melodrama where every character is blackmailing every other character (either with some good or bad motive). This time its Hanna blackmailing Ahmer and asking him to cease the phone tapping, as she knows the reality behind Sultan Bangash.

As things are moving ahead, somewhere heart is getting broken (Sadi), on the other side broken hearts are getting healed (Faris). A very true description of how this world operates. At one place, celebrations are on & people are happy, whereas somewhere someone is mourning.

So my Shobywood is getting popular day by day, assuming that Faris has already read the movie review (may be at my blog) :p ;-)

I believe Hanna has done the right thing by disclosing her alleged affair with Hashim in front of Faris but she has delayed the confession... May be a little bit delay but still its good.

Breaking News- Nosherwaan Kardaar has been arrested by cops on account of an alleged murder & then kidnap of Sadi Yousaf iand the referred scene is witnessed & clicked by many present there, which later on became viral on internet & TV channels. This will provide a serious dent to Kardaar's goodwill & their depreciating stocks are showing the same. 

Can you believe it. I mean it is ridiculous. Haroon Ubaid has proposed Zumer that he can persuade Hashim to let the hearing be conducted in a smooth way and as a favour, he wants Zumer to leave Faris. Jo mera hai, woh mera hi rahey ga... Perfect response from an almost perfect loving wife. Thumbs up.

Once again a scene featuring court of justice is showcased in Namal but Thanks GOD this time culprit is different- The Nosherwan Kardaar. Hashim wants to counter Sheru's arrest by enhancing some social activities. However Sheru is sent to jail. Sadi asks Sara to be a witness in the case and Hashim asks Col Khawar to assist him & work for him again. Although Sadi has already asked him to repent by helping him but who cares...

So it is revealed here that Col Khawar was not called by Hashim. In fact, he received a planted call by Ahmer Shafi and Ahmer is not doing it only for Kardaars. He is taking a revenge. Ahmer is Sultan Bangash son of the Brig. who was murdered along with his family by Col Khawar. And after revealing some more unheard sins committed by Kardaars, Ahmer puts an end to the story of Col. Khawar.

Nemrah uses such a discreet yet relatable example of wall paint to create a warm & emotional scene of a typical siblings reunion. Sadi, Hanna and Sam are one-game now.

Just imagine Jawahiraat without make-over and that too after 24-hours... What an idea by Hanna... Ha ha ha :-)

Case hearing has started and Sheru gets bail citing the reason that he was attacked in the jail premises.

At times I feel the world of Namal is like a tale of Alif-Laila where characters are magicians and they all can get the most difficult of the stuff done by mere a simiple charm or a magical trick. Faris presents journalist Jilani a bag full of CDs, where recordings of his misdeeds are saved. What else is required to persuade him to interview Sadi. (Alif-Laila ha ha ha).

Food for thought this time: Or phir kon hai jo insano ko andheron se nikaal sakta hai, rasta bata sakta hai... Siwaey ALLAH ke. Yes, the only SAVIOR the true SOVEREIGN is only HE- ALLAH.

Well the scene featuring Zumer & Faris is stunning. Zumer has chosen being herself. She will lead the way as she used to deal with other matters. And we all know, Zumer is capable of doing so.

Dr. Aeman, whose hospital was burnt by Faris Ghazi, was the one who was trying to assist Hashim. Revenge has a new shape now.

I am afraid this episode was somewhat mediocre as compared to a few earlier episodes. The overall impact of this one was not so grand as per norms of Namal and it lacked the power & thrill that was the hallmark of other episodes of Namal. However ew pros of the episodes like advancement in the story in terms of Sheru's arrest & rift between Jawahiraat & Haroon have made it easy to make the things work.
