Radd keeps us hooked with interesting twists and surprises. Just when we thought Eman might have really saved Salaar, he is kidnapped by his brother and beaten up badly. The question is, if Zain returns, will Eman leave Salaar?
Hints Of A Love Story
The burger eating scene was cute and well-executed, making us fall for Salaar and Eman’s love story. Not just that, it must have made many girls wish for something similar to happen in their love stories too. That is how dramas give us dreams…
The way Salaar brushed her hair away from her face, made Eman conscious and she changed the topic immediately.
Though Eman had discouraged Salaar and clearly told him that what he is hoping from her, might never happen, she is however, drawing closer to him gradually. Her need to help whoever is being wronged is making her interested in Salaar and hopefully, she will soon find him in her heart.
We like it that the drama has not shown a sudden change in Eman, it is a slow and steady process. She still remembers Zain, but is also trying to make it work out with Salaar, which seems genuine. She is neither rude to him, nor crying over her past, and neither is she suddenly all in love with him.
Sawera’s Journey
Sawera’s journey is also very interesting – from disagreeing with Eman, to now standing up against her husband and mother in-law, is uplifting to watch. Along with her, we are also relieved that she had already removed her jewellery from the house, otherwise she would have lost it by now. She is probably trying to save her marriage by giving her husband money through the sale of her share of the property. Also her father’s condition might also be making her continue to put up with all the abuse.
Action With A Filmy Vibe
The action sequence was well-executed, giving us a filmy vibe. The way it was picturised and performed made an impact and added to the visual experience.
The office scene could have been better executed, or avoided completely. Eman’s boss’s reaction was disappointing as he had known her for so long, so instead of doubting her, he should have supported her.
Jamil and Sawera’s scenes where he hit her repeatedly could have been shown in a manner that did not trigger audiences. Also, it is suggested to have a trigger warning on YouTube for viewers.
Where is Salaar’s step sister…? Can we please not show characters as per convenience?
