Initial thoughts: decent episode but nothing new:



 Oh well, this episode of Jo Tu Chahay was decent. I think he has spent a lot of time on family politics, the equation, and the dynamics that the Appa Jee clan shares with each other. So far, they have successfully established the fact that Mashal is oppressed and is mistreated at the hands of his aunts, so I feel that they should advance the story and focus more on the development of Mashal's character. Let's see when that will happen.

Mashal's dismay seems unconvincing:

Appa Jee took care of her and proposed Armaan's marriage to Areesha. He did not make clear what his reasons were and that it was Armaan who decided to marry Areesha instead of Mashal now. Appa Jee knew that if she continued to discuss the essentials, she would call undue attention on Mashal and that way, everyone would hold her responsible for this chaos. That's why, according to her wisdom and maturity, Appa Jee made it seem like she came up with this idea. Even Armaan made it seem like it was Appa Jee's idea and he was just complacent, but he knows that Appa Jee and Mashal are very aware of the truth. Armaan got rid of this and did not take ownership of his decision in front of his mother, but when it came to Appa Jee, he clearly let him know that he only married Areesha because she and Mashal loved him. to.

 Shama and Faseeha were obviously not happy, but Areesha got what she wanted. Armaan is very happy that everything happened so perfectly and most of the family members were on his side, supporting this decision. Appa Jee feels that he has done the right thing by making Areesha's dream come true and that is how he feels, he can keep both families connected, but he has no idea what is brewing in the minds of Shama and Faseesha. Again, it seems to me a beautiful black and white image that has been painted by the writer here, where all the men are positive and the ladies of the house are negative.

 Mashal has just become a spectator with a bucket full of grudges, complaints and tears under his belt. I still don't see the reason behind Mashal's disappointment and his dismay at the idea of ​​Armaan marrying another person and not her. I feel that if they had shown that she had immense respect for Armaan even before he entered the drama, her feelings would have seemed a bit justified, but I'm not sure why she looks a sad face when she herself has admitted that she didn't Did he love Armaan? Some background that I think would have made these feelings and emotions seem a bit convincing, but right now, it just seems unexpected and makes Mashal look a little desperate, a little less than Areesha but definitely desperate. Yes, Mashal has always yearned for love and attention, but why did he think that his marriage to Armaan would provide all of that, given that he immediately thought about the fact that Shama and Bisma had always been mean to her? For any other girl, she would have been a little overwhelmed by the fact that she will have to deal with people like Shama and Bisma after her marriage to Armaan, but wow, Mashal ne a ye baat dil se hi laga li hai!


I know that this story is about a girl who is discovering herself and her confidence in Allah, but I wish that now they change the story about their growth because I feel that a lot of time has been invested in the secondary characters and their lives. I also want to see that the focus changes on Hashir's character because at this moment he also looks like a secondary character, not sure if he is the protagonist or what? To be honest, as much as I enjoy watching this drama, I feel it is not a review material because the situations are very clear and there is nothing detailed or complex about it. I would also love to see Mashal find a purpose and not waste time thinking about "why" nobody loves her? I mean I should have been immune to this already, but no, it's stuck in a routine I feel. Undoubtedly, all the things Appa Jee tells Mashal are insightful and have a lot of meaning, but not seeing mental or emotional growth in Mashal makes it a bit frustrating because it seems that everything Appa Jee says will be wasted!

 I mentioned this before these surrounding circumstances are used to define the type of mentality that Mashal has and what it goes through, but I feel that due to so much focus on these secondary characters, the purpose of Mashal's journey is being lost somewhere . I will still say that this drama is worth watching, but yes, when it comes to discussing it, there is nothing special in any episode to be honest, which I hope will change.

 Final thoughts: hoping to surprise me:

Overall, this episode of Jo Tu Chahay was average and there was nothing special that surprised me. However, I enjoyed Nargis Rasheed's performance as I always do. All situations and scenarios are realistically portrayed, but I feel that everything has been seen there, that kind of feeling that has stopped attracting me, which I hope will change. I also noticed the new trend, which rightly censor the unwanted physical contact between the characters / actors, I saw what happened in this week's Surkh Chandni episode and even in this episode they edited the hug between Armaan and Areesha, so when they know They can't show those things, so isn't it better not to shoot them? Obviously it is not desired and does not help the situation at all. Anyway, share your thoughts on this episode of Jo Tu Chahay.
