Mora Piya – Episodes 2 and 3
I have to admit I fast forwarded through most of the episodes 2 and 3 of Mora Piya. For many reasons, the drama has not clicked with me at all. I think the major factor in this is the revelation of the key plot details on Geo's website. Although I have many issues with Six Sigma Productions, I find it very commendable that they have not revealed anything crucial about KPKPBT so far. In contrast, Filmwala Productions gave away the one specific detail which has destroyed all the suspense.
Back in the good old days, when I would watch dramas on television and not YouTube, there was this one senseless soap where a wedding went on for at least 10 episodes, if not more. I patiently sat through the entire wedding hoopla simply because I was sure something would happen at the end of it. And sure enough, just before the bride was due to sit in the car after rukhsati, it was blown up. (No one was killed except the driver).
Anyway, my point is, with all the lovey-dovey portraits of Ujala and Faisal, why the heck did Filmwala Productions reveal the reason behind their future 'conflict'? Of course, we know something was going to happen or else the drama would not move forward another episode. But we could have watched every single scene, wondering where the hype of the wedding was leading to. And not only that, they have actually showed the kidnapping scene in the precap, not even letting suspense build up to the wedding itself.
Apart from this, there is another very pertinent point I think the writer did not consider. Reporters/journalists whose lives are in this danger are given some sort of security. Faisal has not exactly been shown to have any modest lifestyle. He could have easily afforded a guard, especially if he was receiving threats.
Also, didn't he realize he would endanger Ujala's life by getting married to her? The story would have been more realistic if he had somehow arranged for Ujala to leave the country and learn to live without him because any form of association with her would spell trouble for both of them. Didn't he take the threats seriously?
For me, the story is problematic and unrealistic on many levels. I do love the way they are spanning out the wedding but they have totally ruined something that could have hooked many viewers easily. On the acting side, I still find Ujala a bit hard to digest. "Tumhein jo karna hai woh tum karo," she tells Faisal and encourages him to confront the mafia. Easy to say, lady, but not so easy to live. Ujala is about to pay a heavy price for Faisal's journalism.

You forwarded most of episode 2 and 3 - no wonder your review sounded incomplete.
I agree though that revealing half the story takes away the suspense element, but how many dramas today have that? Most of them are novel based and those who haven't read the novels hear the whole story from those who have. So that doesnt bother me.
Regarding Faisal not thinking about ujala - episode 3 was mostly him thinking about what ujala's father has said, he did not take the threats seriously in the 1st two episodes but ever since Ali got shot, and his father in law confronted him, he is shaken, hence he goes to ujala asking her if he can do the show.
And i dont think ujala wants to snatch the job he loves, what he feels passionate about away from him. If he wasnt the passionate man that he is, there is no way she would have fallen in love with him.
I saw the point of "dragging" the wedding because, in the course of the past two episodes, the audience needed to see that faisal did feel scared because of ujala, how serious the land mafia threat actually is, and the man that he is, he won't back away.
But yeah, seems like they're about to pay a heavy price. :(

I'm so sad that this is going to happen. For all who don't want to know, DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK!! But, obviously they're going to need more than 5 episodes, so they are going to base a story off of that. I personally think the drama is superb. The Aamina-Adeel relationship doesn't bother me at all. I don't remember Daam at all when I see them together. Maybe it's just me. I would seriously reccomend this drama to everyone. :)

Yaar, the drama is not clicking with me at all, that's the problem. This is typically something I would have enjoyed but very little makes sense. Faisal, in the face of threats, is actually getting married. This is so far-fetched. I remember a movie in which a girl's life is in danger. She manages to leave town while somehow everyone else believes she has died in a fire. The guy who loves her realizes it was not her. But he knows very well the minute he leaves town, he will be followed and the girl will be discovered. So he never leaves at all and dies of a broken heart. It was tragic but more realistic.
BTW, was Faisal doing the show on the day of the wedding? Whatever happened to taking the week off?

For me its pretty realistic and practical; its not as easy to be dramatic and leave everything. It has been clearly suggested that faisal feels passionate about doing something for his countryy.."agar sab ney yeh sochna shuru kar diya key iss mulk ki zimedaari unki nahin, toh iss mulk ka kya baney ga", even ujala realizes that when she told her father, she would never want faisal to quit, later she says, "kabhi kabhi mujhay lagta hai abu theek kehtey hain, tumhain apni job mujh sey zayada pyari hai na"..
the guys quits his job, the girls leaves the town; for me thats not practical or realistic.
in the first 2 episodes, faisal takes ujala's father lightly as he did not think the threats held any weight. him talking to his boss.."unko lagta hai main border pey kaam kar raha hoon"
he did take the week off; but in episode 3, Ali got shot and there was no way he could let something that serious go away; hence he decided to do the show but he did ask ujala if he CAN.
i think he does not think that it will go as serious as the mafia attacking ujala..
the whole ordeal will be the test of his love..how he deals with the EVENT that will take place later, and i am sure he will regret it.

I am definitely not suggesting that Faisal should leave his job. My point simply is: people who get death threats do not easily let their adversaries find out their weak points (read: people whom they love). Remember Spiderman I, when Green Goblin says: when you want to attack a man, you attack his heart. I appreciate the fact that the drama is highlighting the plight of sincere journalists. But honestly, having a high profile wedding in the face of a death threat is simply saying: Aaa bail mujhay maar.

LOL loving the discussion. I guess after all it is a novel written by the same person who wrote K&M I believe? It is going to have some filmy elements to it.
Thanks Hina for the link. It should be interesting to read what happens after the tragedy. And boy does Geo need to hire someone to write their synopsis :-D
