So Habs is not just about Basit and Ayesha’s story, it is also the story of a complicated relationship a son has with a mother who had left him. Habs is winning us with beautifully played emotions, a brilliantly executed script and the web of relationships its building.
Huge round of applause for Feroze Khan for a realistic yet immensely impactful portrayal of Basit’s emotions. What a refreshing and heart-winning change from his recent performances.
Our Thoughts
Is it Basit’s selfishness or his fear/hesitation about how to approach Ayesha and the new relationship? His refusal to stay for dinner, reluctance to go in the room… is he doing this because Ayesha is not rich? Because with Soha, he seemed to think the girl will be his responsibility…
Ayesha is confused and scared. We are curious to know what her expectation is from this marriage…
The mother has no limits to being selfish. Sadly, Basit also chose to hide the house’s payment from Ayesha. Complicated relationships for sure!
Positive Elements Amidst All The Drama
The drama is keeping us engaged by balancing toxicity with some positivity within the drama. The fact that Basit honestly tells Ayesha his reason for marriage. Basit’s friend telling him not to become what he despises his mother for, that it is “Khudgarz.” There is someone to remind him of right and wrong.
Bano and Ayesha honestly sharing their guilts and so endearingly supporting each other.
Zoya’s character is complex but is also borderline nuisance. Her harsh comments about Ayesha and Bano pinch you even as a viewer. Maybe she is the reflection of the society we live in.
Lastly, what a beautiful placement of the OST. The nikah scene became so much more emotional and heart-winning, thanks to the way the director Musaddiq Malik has shot it.
Appreciation
Appreciation for Musaddiq Malik and writer Aliya Makhdoom for very subtly incorporating so many emotions that Basit is going through right now and balancing the extreme negativity of some characters with some uplifting moments.
