and what about sifaat (shahood alvi) ? uss ka koi zikar hi nahi kay uss key saath kia hua!! he was my fav character in the play, brilliant acting by shahood alvi.
from what i can make of the ending...its about life coming full circle, the play started with rehan's father on his deathbed remembering his 'adhoori muhabbat' i.e madhu mossi and it ended with rehan in his father's position and his adhoori muhabbat (nirmalta) in madhu mossi's place...maybe thats one angle of life.
Completely agree with you. I was watching the clock going - surely they'll make it into an hour long last epi because they have not mentioned Sifaat at all! And yes Wonderful Acting by Shahood Alvi.
Like others said Humayun had the same expression throughout. Lagta tha acting bhool gaya hai shayad.
The full circle thought came to my mind when Nirmal accepted Islam and became Madhu. Even though I found it hilarious that she was constantly in full make up and talking about being 'close to God' when her actions were completely against the will of God like taking a divorce from a husband who has been nothing but kind toward her. And then at the end showing her as Mother Theresa really took the cake for me!
I've noticed that w/ Noor ul-huda Shah she always has the Sufi-istic approach to Islam where a guy/gal falls deeply/madly in love, doesn't get his love, and turns towards Allah completley leaving the world behind. When Nabeel and Mishi Khan did the play ages ago and it had a similar ending, that made sense.
But this time around, Shah's view holds less credibility because Madhu had other choices in life after accepting Islam. Her constant repetition of "duniya taang ho jati hai" did not make any sense whatsoever.
