Drama Review | Sang-e-Maah | Episode 5

 

 
Hilmand is celebrating his victory. He is so crazy in his thirst for revenge against Marjaan. So is Zargoona. Both have forgotten the difference between fair in and unfair for revenge. The best scene of this episode is the confrontation between two brothers Hikmat and Hilmand. Hilmand doesn’t trust Hikmat but he does get suspicious about it. 
 
 
“Jitne munh, utne jhoot,” Baadam Gul says.
 
What a line! Badam is the funniest character in this series. 
 
Sheherzade doesn’t go back home despite Marjaan’s best attempts. She tries to talk to Gul Meena and Zargoona but they are reluctant to utter a single word. Marjaan then talks to Sheherzade. These two scenes tell us so much about pashtoon people, their traditions, and their culture from such close quarters. I have never seen a drama with pashtoon background before and that adds to the charm of this beautifully shot and brilliantly written drama.
 
Sheherzade is then invited to live with Haji. She talks to Zarsanga, and learns about the animosity between Hilmand and Marjaan. Talking to future bahu, ahem!
 
Mastan Singh recalls his promises to Gul Meena. It’s time for revenge. He takes his knife and heads to confront Hilmand.
 
I stand corrected. The best scene is Sabz Ali’s conversation with another guy
 So so funny comment about tableegh.
 
“Accha, to Hikmat Gul Meena se milne jata hai?” Sabz Ali asks.
“Nahin, tableegh ke liye. Duniya ki baatein to hoti rahengi.” His friend says.
 
Long story short, now Sabz Ali knows that Hikmat’s love for Gul Meena. Would he tell Hilmand? Would Hilmand change his stance?
