I am sure the entire country held its breath when Asher said “Bas Mummy Bas” ….” Hareem meri beti HAI, agar iss baat ka koi saboot nahi hai tho saboot iss baat ka bhi nahin hai key main Baseerat Hussain ka beta hoon “ Even then Farida is not willingly to accept any guilt or shame “ tum ,tum mujhe galiy dey rahey ho.?” I have to commend Atiqa Odho for carrying off that entire mental break down scene alone in her room but for me this was not a satisfying conclusion to her track.
I found this the most disturbing part of the finale.įawad, Mahirah and Atiqa had us enthralled. Again he does not confront his mother or blame her till she starts haranguing Khirad at the door. He can barely meet her gaze now knowing how abominably he treated her but manages to cook up an excuse to bring her home. He blames himself, bangs his handsome head on a barrier before jumping into a car to fetch Khirad. So I think they chose the easier option and gave Farida a nervous breakdown rather than allowing her to be abandoned as in the book.Īsher never willingly confronts his mother despite the absolute confirmation of her guilt. One of the main underpinnings of the Humsafar story is that Asher trusted his mother above his wife Khirad. Now I realise this put the producer and director between a rock and a hard place, Farida had to be punished without knocking into that other pillar of our society: honouring your mother.
The subcontinent has little patience for “the randomness” of life explanations and open ended philosophy of the West: we look for finite conclusions to finite situations.
Oneof the strongest and perhaps most prevalent threads in the tapestry that is South Asian culture is the belief divine or karmic retribution. A throwback from the past because #FiveyearsofHumsafar
