Zanjeerain Episode 20 Written Update and Review
Half of the episode was spent in Sar Buland going through Bano’s stuff and having frequent flashbacks. Everything that he sees, reminds him of Bano. When he picked up Faiz Ahmad Faiz book, I focused on the bookshelf behind. Eversince I’ve gotten the bookshelf I wanted (and 7 books orders, 62 books total), I find myself noticing the bookshelves even more.
As for this scene with flashbacks, I found it…you guessed it… underwhelming. That said, Sahar Hashmi did a fine job as Bano: soft, calm, controlled.
Another thing tha struck me as odd was how Rabiya and Sar Buland freely talk to each other now after their “lets-walk-20k-steps” challenge. Woh jo dono nazar ko jhuka kar rakhte thhe, was that only during iddat? Yeh baat hazam nahin huyi.
Sohrab is openly threatening Sar Buland now, not as in “I hate you, I want to be Sardar”, just as in “Bano died because of you, I will not hesitate from standing against you.” Some audacity this man has. Also, Sar Buland’s stance comes as arrogant, that he refuses to accept Bano’s death. Us, viewers know that Bano died, so his unacceptance is a bit unacceptable.
Right now, Shirin is the most dangerous person, sewing doubts in everyone’s mind. I’m waiting for the time that Noor finds out about Shirin and Sohrab.
And that’s all I have to say about this episode. Like I said, underwhelming.
Salaam!
