PLOT

The film starts by introducing Saba Shafiq (Mahira Khan) and Irtaza’s (Humayun Saeed) relationship, who are cousins. Saba is hopelessly in love with Irtaza, but he treats her like his best friend, not a love interest. Irtaza then leaves for the US for two years, where he meets Saman Shafiq (Armeena Khan), who is his cousin and falls in love with her. Saman is Saba’s elder sister, and she was given to her uncle and aunt as a child. Saman’s foster parents die in a plane crash which was headed to Germany, and Irtaza brings her back to Pakistan. Upon learning that she has an elder sister, Saba is at first overjoyed, but her happiness quickly turns to disdain when she finds out that Irtaza and Saman are in love and are to be married.

Later, Irtaza and Saman come to Karachi with their son Maaz. On Maaz's birthday, Saman plans to get a birthday cake and some flowers for her mother. However, tragedy occurs as Saman is hit by a car in front of Saba (who once prayed to God that Saman should die, because she wanted to marry her cousin, Irtaza and hated the fact that her sister is getting married to him). Irtaza calls the ambulance, and they take her to the hospital, however, Saman dies in the ambulance. Before dying, she whispers in Saba's ears that both Irtaza and Maaz are now hers. Meanwhile, as Maaz is a child in need of a mother's love, Saba's grandmother suggests to her parents that she should marry her cousin, Irtaza. Saba doesn't agree, and says yes to marrying someone else. On her wedding day Irtaza finds out that Saba's family is unaware that the man she's marrying is already married and has a son. Irtaza gets very angry and confronts Saba, who cries and tells him that it's too late to stop the wedding now since they are actually at the wedding. However, Irtaza drags her to their family and tells them the truth. Their family is shocked and they decide Saba should not marry that guy. Then, to the surprise of everyone present, Irtaza announces that he will marry his cousin, Saba. Saba has a difficult time accepting her marriage and was in trauma that she might be the cause of Saman's death, but after a dramatic turn of events finally Irtaza came to know the whole story and recognized the love of Saba, and declares his love for her. The movie ends with Irtaza and Saba finally together, and finally happy.

CONCLUSION

I love the serial. The serial is short and beautifully portayed. More than the story, I love the acting of Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed and Azra Mansoor. The expressions of Mahira Khan as Saba Shafiq are excellent. She has done excellent job in the serial. On the other hand, the acting of Azra Mansoor as Dadi is awesome. She is another reason to watch the serial. She is simply the best in her role.

More than this, I found the serial similar with the Hindi film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Like in Kuch Kuch Hita Hai, Kajol loves Kuch Kuch Hota Hai but Sharukh loves Rani. In the film, Rani dies after the birth of the child. Later, Shahrukh marries Kajol when she was supposed to marry Salman Khan. In the serial too, Mahira loves Humayun but Humayun loves Armeena. She dies in the accident. Mahira Khan marries another guy but later she gets divorcee with him and Humayun Saeed married Mahira Khan and lives happily.

Although, the serial has similarities with Kuch Kuch Hot Hai, the serial is worth to watch and the acting of all actors are nice to watch. So, I refer people to watch the serial.
