Throwback to the drama scenes that neeed a revisit this week. Join us as we give you scenes and moments that deserve to be mentioned.
1. SharPasand
When Fida and Sanam navigated this conversation, it felt very natural, like all their conversations do. One felt there was no camera in the room as Sanam refused to go, despite knowing how much it meant to her, and Fida urged her to go, yet telling her he will miss her. The interaction was relatable for many married couples – Sanam’s guilt and Fida’s ability to rise above his need to have her with him. Great husbands goals by the Fida, but can you keep them coming?
This was a signature Fida-Sanam moment where Sanam’s spirited side comes out and the pair of scissors was certainly the MVP of the scene. It headlined her anger, yet added a hint of humour to the interaction. Fida seated on the floor and Sanam raging at him from on top also made the entire scene visually impactful! Well done Hareem Farooq and Affan Waheed.
2. Aik Aur Pakeezah
When Aslam tells Saman all, it was a moving scene on screen. Muhammad Noorulhassan and Amna Ilyas played it all heart. Aslam not able to look Saman in the eye, balancing disappointment, sadness, and embarassment with the sense of shouldering a burden he couldn’t bear anymore, Saman asking him questions gradually, watchful. sensitive, yet firm, keeping in mind his deep pain. From the dialogue delivery to the expressions, these two mastered the scene.
Faraz and Pakeezah lost in their own thoughts mimicked a stage play where both protagonists were speaking out loud, the thoughts that clouded their minds. Faraz wanting everything to become okay, stating that they don’t need to be afraid anymore, as if, uttering it out loud to convince himself and Pakeezah. While Pakeezah, a remnant of her old self returning, puzzled over with whom and why did her brother go to the train station. A very well performed scene from scripting to dialogue delivery and camera frames. It was haunting yet added enough dialogue and movement to the screen to keep audiences engaged with both Pakeezah and Faraz’s ever shifting state of mind.
Throwback to Pakeezah and her mother Aliya’s conversation. Their bond is both affectionate and yet blatantly truthful. Pakeezah reveals her firm stance against men like Yaseen, entitled, forceful and everything she cannot accept in a male, perhaps representing a huge part of society for her. Aliya schooling her on her clothes, a man’s nature, and how they must applaud his apology, again representing society and the popular mindset we witness around us. Both Nadia Afgan and Sehar Khan delivered absolutely fluent and natural performances that aptly stamped their differing perspectives in life.
3. Kafeel
The electricity department, sending workers to disrupt electricity at Zeba’s house was a well enacted and executed scene. From Zeba negotiating with the workers, to referencing files and bills as evidence, then Zeba asking the children for money and calling Usman for the remainder, to Jami arguing with the workers, it all came together relatably – sudden panic, action, tense conversations and the frames themselves, with shots through the corridor and staircase, added a believability to the ordinary interactions we see around us. It is a skill to dramatize an event audiences have witnessed often without biting off too much, hence keeping it real. And director Meesam Naqvi plus all actors involved in the scene pulled it off with flying colours.
4. Muamma
Jeeji seated with an authoritarian air, demanding accountability from Aashiq was a sight to behold. In charge, threatening, fearsome and raging, it is in her calm yet fixed demeanour that Saba Qamar powers up Jeeji to give us the full experience. Aashiq and Asia’s obvious discomfort and helplessness was tangible, and so was Jeeji’s expressions – unforgiving and unyielding. Namra Shahid, Hasan Fareed and Saba Qamar – Well done for delivering an impactful scene.
Jeeji peering at Junaid through the mirror still adds a sense of curiosity and tension in the air, despite the fact that we’ve seen it often enough. This time, with Junaid bouncing the ball off the wall, the crack on the mirror was unexpected and added a sudden climax to the final moments of the episode. Well done team Muamma, for giving us a sharp scene, delivered on point by all the players. Shout out to director Shaqielle Khan for delivering a moment onscreen where the details mattered.
And that’s it from us for Drama Scenes of the Week. Drop us a comment below and tell us which one you liked best or if we missed one.
