A Beautiful last episode! Poetry in motion. Aisi tishna koi cheez chord jaya.... I will miss Grey very much. We waited too long for it and it is so rare that a thing that is keenly anticipated doesn't disappoint. This piece of outstanding art will stand up to any comparisons made to content from the US or UK and dare I say, exceeds anything made in both those countries recently. This last episode brings together all the threads of this complex tapestry of causes and effects. We see how actions thoughtful and thoughtless reverberate through the lives of others for good and evil. If Emaan doesn't accuse Salaar maybe Mona and Haider keep doing their pitiful shows and maintain their pretty rivalries. If Salaar doesn't have strings of affairs he doesn't leave himself open to accusations and no one has to face the reality and complexity of harassment in our societies. If Emaan doesn't fall in love with Salaar and seek revenge for his lack of feelings for her then maybe she stands up for her maid and makes that her cause so poor Fouzia doesn't get married into prostitution. For me, the Fouzia storyline is the most devastating.... Sabeena Ji is terrific... her face through the car window, the horror of it finally dawns on her. This is such brave storytelling by the writer and director. There is a real risk of backlash from audiences who have been mainlining boy meets girl romances and Saas/Bahu melodramas for so long that they are unable to process a story that speaks of the truly dark and hidden world of abuse and horror that lies just beneath the surface. The writing stays true to their mission right till the bitter end. Salaar is left to ponder all his infidelities as his wife turns and leaves because as good a person as he may be, we are reminded what a nightmare of a husband he would be to be married to. All his recent suffering has not made him reflect at all on his own behaviour- he is straight into the arms of another woman. Yes, Salaar didn't harass anyone but does that mean he has nothing to answer for? I wager Mona will be standing in exactly the same position as Emaan (the woman scorned) or Zoya (the woman wronged) in not too distant a future. Salaar and Emaan are who they are and the narrative doesn't try and redeem them at all in the final episode which is brave and smart writing. Sami Ji has breathed life into Salaar and the sheer force of his artistry has created a mature and complex character we both love and lament. We hope to see him be challenged by ever more complex roles in the future. Every actor has worked so hard and has shone in this drama and the direction and production levels have been consistently of a high caliber. I am so proud that this kind of content is being made in Pakistan. Be proud, all who have been with involved with this masterpiece. Thank you to you all for your hard work. We see and appreciate it. Jazzak Allah Kher Green Entertainment!
