22 Qadam – Woohoo! Liza didn’t wait to show her true colours, but Liza dear, weak planning from your side. Did you really think Fari would let you get away with it? Did you think Junaid would not doubt you?

Liza’s Political Conspiracy Backfired?
We thought Liza would wait a bit before revealing her true colors or coming up with a well-hatched scheme, but she didn’t waste any time and was quick to implement her plan. But maybe that was her mistake? She should have waited a bit and struck later into the game? It was very naive of Liza to take a direct panga with Fari. To assume that Fari would back off and let her be the team captain, to assume that Keryana would leave Fari, to assume that Junaid would not question her. Thank God Fari reached the ground on time. We couldn’t wait for her to find out what was afoot behind her back.
An Ode To Pakistan’s Bowling Attack
Fari and Amo practicing bowling with the atta in the kitchen instead of making Roti, was a relatable scene for many girls who would avoid making chapatis or would inject the fun factor to break the monotony in household chores. It was refreshing to hear the mention of cricketing greats like Saqlain and Lala and the girls attempting to mimic their bowling styles. Appreciation for the writer, director and actors for attempting this scene & script. It might not have been perfect, but full marks for giving it a go.
Liza & Junaid Chronicles
Liza is giving a cold shoulder to Junaid now, acting upon her father’s advice. The question is, can she blame Junaid for not feeling the same way about her? Looks like the war to remove the posters and then stick them back on, will go on forever between Fari and her mother.
Fireworks On the Cricket Field
The episode cleverly balanced suspense and a sense of curiosity as the girls assembled at the ground and, in a parallel universe, Fari and Amo, oblivious of the conspiracy afoot, continued the wedding shopping. The juxtaposition of both scenes in one timeline added to the sense of urgency as viewers waited impatiently for Fari to catch news of Liza’s plans, Keryana to call her, Junaid to ask for her and Liza to make a hash of her plan by showing off her own, hot-headed personality.
It was all happening last night and we can’t say we wouldn’t have wanted another episode to continue the intensely charged Liza-Fari showdown!
