Media Magick

Drama serial Phaans is one of the best thriller in the running, which is still cleverly carrying the suspense element in the plot. It is cleared that Sahil is the one who has committed that sexual crime but still there is much more to this story. Sahil’s father too seems a very suspicious  why he is going at any length to save Sahil? In this episode the way he looks creepily at the house help say volumes about his lecherous nature.  Well it seems that Sahil has learned or inherited this lecherous instinct from him and being autistic he himself do not understand the importance of  consent. He loves Zeba but he do not realize the importance of consent thus he committed that sexual crime.

Ali Tahir’s performance is flawless but he seems too young to be father of three adults so is Arjumand Rahim too young to be mother of three adults. Coming back to the story there is definitely something Hashim is hiding from everyone. He surely knows something which he is not ready to share or he is too afraid to share.  Well one wonders what is that? Why he married Zeba’s sister so suddenly? These are questions which needs to be addressed. Zeba’s sister’s ugliness finally gets a slapping reality check and its a huge relief!

Public support is getting stronger for Zeba and her interviews are being televised at all big news channels. Sahil’s family is not ready for this. Sahil cannot stand this media pressure, his condition gets serious and he is hospitalized. Hafsa uploads a video reply in response to Zeba, refuting her claims moreover she starts defaming her with Samad which will surely going to make waves in public too. Poor Samad is now dragged into this whole situation publicly. Zeba during an interview goes through this video message well one wonders why anyone checks her phone in front of an open mic and camera and that too a streaming video! Zeba is extremely worried as she will going to face another trial that too in front of public.
