Mitti De Baway Episode 16 Written Update and Review

Salaamu!

1. The Family

Baala comes home, and learns about the living arrangement of Qamrunnisa and Qadar. Kausar is reluctant and adamant to give Qamrunnisa the place she deserves. Baala justifies Kausar’s behaviour tries to console Qamrunnisa but she’s like “ji…ji…” like the sweet obedient wife she is.

What Baala doesn’t realize is that Qamrunnisa will ask about “Bibi Ji”. Just as she does, Baala changes from “romantic husband” to “toxic husband”.

2. The Subplots

Joji comes to see the dance. Sitara (played by Faryal Mehmood) grooving to a bleh song. Joji successfully gave a very tharki vibe. Later, Joji wants to meet Sitara again, who, as we all know, is “booked” by someone “bada” aka DSP Nawaz.

Speaking of DSP Nawaz, he’s still keeping an eye onBillo and has just learned about Baala coming to the aastana. Things got interesting, right?

3. Another Round of Confession

Baala comes to see Billo. He has rightly expected Billo’s every move. And then we hear the now-famous “”Ishq ya toh aag bana deta hai ya khaak… tujhay kya banna hai, aag ya khaak?” line.

Baala realizes that he was just as wrong as Billo for his losses.

Review

The good storytelling aside, what is this drama showing us? A peerni meeting her ex-lover in private, without her purdah? What she has done to become a peerni? I have many such unanswered questions and I don’t think I’m getting any answer. Not now, not ever.
