Naushi is saved by the way. And another melodrama ensues between mother and daughter. Shahana wants Nadeem to marry Naushi while Nadeem is busy with his new colleague. He promotes Tashi to director’s post, just like that. Nadeem refuses to marry Naushi, Naushi and Nadra overhear the conversation and we know more drama will follow….

This episode exemplifies break-neck speed. Let’s do a bullet list review of the events, shall we? Nadeem arrives home Parvez upsets him by mentioning Javed Naushi doesn’t cancel her shoot She meets a tharki man at the party and the next moment, he’s shot dead Police arrives at the venue in thirty seconds and instead…

The episode begins as hyper-emotional Nadeem tells Shahana to marry Pervez. Next, Pervez, Shahana and Nadeem ponder about their decision. Nadeem has given his permission but he isn’t happy about it. Shahana and Pervez return after nikaah, and Nadeem immediately announces that he’s leaving for London for a job. Ummm, what about Naushaba? Javed and…

The episode begins with the same scene where it had ended. Javed is truly upset with Fakhra and Tashi’s greed. Shabeer Jan has nailed the scene. I feel that he is the protagonist of the story. I mean Zara and Asad are sidelined. And so far Javed’s characters has seen the most variations, tribulations, peaks…

Javed learns that Shahana had visited Fakhra. He comes home, yells at Shahana, Parvez and Nadeem for no fault of theirs. When Shahana has had enough, she asks Javed to leave. Before leaving, he tries to brainwash Nadeem. Nadeem chooses Shahana over Javed. On the other hand, Javed threatens Pervez: stay away from my wife….

So, Nadra relaxes a bit upon learning that Shahana doesn’t mind Nadeem and Naushi together. Javed has forgotten the file of new case – the case for which he is accepting a bribe of 2 crore rupees. I don’t understand why his assistant is so “open” and “free”. But, he cannot go home because he…

Wasif is worried about police and Qasim is worried his supposed fiancé Naushi. The conversation between Salma and wasif highlights Wasif’s evil nature. Salma is the best role and best performer of this drama. Don’t you think? Javed repeats his plans to marry Tashi to Nadeem. Nadeem, in turn, has begun to flirt with Naushi….

So, the hamming police officer arrests Nadra and Naushaba. A big actress such as Shahana and a successful lawyer like Javed cannot even go with them or try for their bail. What the… Javed refuses to fight Nadra’s case resulting in melodrama. On the positive side, Nadeem suddenly finds a soft corner for Nadra and…

I think this drama’s sole purpose is to give a chance to overact their bums. Each actor seem to follow one mantra: Go hamming way. So, Javed proposes Munshi’s widow. Javed is old but quite the romantic.  Javed and Parvez both recognize Nadra and her past as a courtesan dancer. Nadra in turn gets upset…

This drama is boring. The Showbiz Side Parvez cannot stop flirting with Shahana. Bushra’s makeup is so nicely done. She’s the contrast of her look in Deewar-e-Shab. Javed is drinking to forget about his pain but his prospect client talks about Shahana and Javed loses his mind. He has one track mind. Javed ruins Shahana’s…

  This episode is primarily about exposition, most of which I have summarized in my previous post Zebaish | Cast & Characters. The Showbiz Side Javed loses five lakh rupees in horse race, yet again. He still wouldn’t give up until he recovers his lost money. Shahana transfers money to his account but it enrages him…

1 The Credits Zebaish looks like a home production: aunt Bushra Ansari wrote the story, acted too. Took younger sister Asma Abbas, Asma’s daughter Zara Noor Abbas, Zara’s husband Asad Siddiqui… Don’t get me wrong. I am a big fan of all these names individually. I just think seeing them all together will constantly remind…

Alright, let’s get started. After ages, I have something to review on Friday. This episode is primarily about exposition, most of which I have summarized in my previous post Zebaish | Cast & Characters. The Showbiz Side Drunk Javed Ahmed comes home with a bottle and is devastated when it falls and breaks. He watches his…
