Kafeel Episode 33 Written Update and Review

When I watched episode 32, I had no intention of watching the next one. I had a random thought, that maybe, someday, long after the drama is over, I’ll binge all episodes and see what Umera Ahmed has done with this topic. Today, when I opened YouTube to watch Sirf Shabana episode 10, the first one in the list was Kafeel 2nd last episode. And… I couldn’t resist the temptation. Sahil se jab ki reh gaye do chaar hath hum, why not take a swim?

 

Subuk brings the grocery bags to Jamal, the ones that got accidentally left at Subuk’s house.

 

Jamal was like: why did you bring back these?

Subuk: hum khuddaar log hain

 

That’s another one of my gripe with this drama. These people keep on announcing we’re khuddar, like a genius getting on the hilltop and announcing he’s a genius. If you’re a genius, leave it for people to find out; they will. Inka self-promotion bahot chal raha hai.

 

Anywho, I know nothing about interior decoration etc and couldn’t help but think: yeh steel ke bade se bartan mein kis chiz ka murabba hai?

And then, out of blue, subuk asks: you like my mother?

 

Because he read Jamal’s message on Zeba’s phone. Second of all, boundaries. And first of all, seriously, boundaries? Privacy? Amma hai woh teri.

 

And then Jamal opens up. This is the third problem I have with the drama. Jamal talking about such senstive topic openly with Zeba’s mother, brother and now her son. Her son? Very on point like Umera, her characters have no shame but this one felt a bit much. Main hi uncomfortable feel karne lagi thhi. Anywho, Subuk does promise to take Jamal’s side on the matter.

 

Scene switches to a chashmish girl, cribbing to her father about Nasir, his wife and their son. Father tries to explain his situation but she’s like: fo ahead and worry for your son. Me and my kid are not important to you.

 

Don’t her name, or who she is (the perils of watching a drama randomly towards the end) but I don’t wike her.

Seems whiny.

 

Subuk talks to Zeba about Jamal. Melodramatic in my opinion. The scene changes to Zeba’s mother (don’t know her name yet) who agrees that Zeba should marry Jamal.

 

Zeba meets Samaira and learns that Subuk has spoken about finding a life partner for Zeba. Zeba can’t believe that her innocent-looking son would do that. When walking back home, Zeba stops under a tree to calm herself down. And it reminded me of Kashf, so intensely, I almost wanted to abandon the episode and to watch Zindagi Gulzar Hai, once again.

Chashmish girl again. her mother leaves her home and goes out with Nasir. There’s nothing for her to eat. It makes her recall her time with her husband and mother-in-law. They were so loving and supportive. Hence proved my point, she’s whiny and inconsiderate. I suppose her story will also reach HEA.

 

Usman comes to talk to Zeba about Jamal, she says she deserves the right to take her life’s decision, something she couldn’t do the first time around. Very raw emotions. Usman leaves. Zeba then sits down Subuk. And kinds goes from zero to hundred by saying: i won’t be a burden on you. I’ve always taken care of myself.

 

Facepalm, bahot zor se. Did he say that you’re a burden on him? Why be so dramatic, then? Typical Umera dramatics.

 

A very emotional scene follows, Subuk does good in presenting his side of the arguments. Will Zeba say yes? Last episode abhi baqi hai mere dost.
