Will Zarnab’s love win over Faris’ ambition and Mifra’s subtle yet impactful blackmailing? Rehmati or Munna, who will impress Zarnab in the show? Munna’s cuteness, his reactions and excitement post Zarnab’s call made us smile.
The Highs
Gentleman is growing on us. With every passing episode, we are becoming increasingly invested in the characters. Smiling with them when they are happy, and getting angry when Faris is not fair with Zarnab.
The call that made Munna’s heart beat faster, which made him dance with excitement, also made us smile and have a great moment watching the story unfold on screen. The scene was well-executed and brilliantly performed. Munna making it relatable for many people in love who would be ecstatic to get a call from their crush.
Munna made an impression on Zarnab in the very first phone call, as she says, after ending the call, that he doesn’t sound like a gangster from the way he talks on the phone.
The Lows
This episode cleared the confusion that Faris is actually interested in Zarnab and Mifra is the price he has to pay for his transfer and career. It is interesting to see that Faris is not your perfect guy, and neither is he an all-out villain, he is a grey character who sometime fails to give his fiancé the respect and trust she deserves and might end up choosing career over everything else.
Zarnab is intelligent and perceptive; she can tell something is wrong in the interaction between Faris and Mifra. She deals with the situation calmly, telling Faris that she will go with him if he goes for dinner with Mifra but sadly, Faris is playing both Mifra and Zarnab. We hope it is Zarnab ending this relationship and not Faris…
Gangster Talk show
Getting all the gangsters together and discussing how to eradicate their mafia is not really something they would be very interested in discussing. Who would want to give up power and control? But let’s see what the discussion will lead to and what the show will be about in the drama.
Munna’s Fears
Munna deep down is impacted by all that Dilbar warned him about, being careful and scared of Rehmati’s reaction. His validation comes from his chotta, who shows full trust in him. Like all of us, Munna needs one person to give him that trust vote and push him to take the plunge and not back off…
Rehmati himself has not acted violently, but all the characters around him are employed to establish his brutality and power. The police also first informed him about the raid and let him go after he paid them money. Let’s see if Faris’ plan to arrest all the gangsters works out or will it also be a futile effort. He hasn’t told Zarnab about it, we wonder why…
