THE WEEK THAT WAS
Koi Chand Rakh | ARY, Thursdays 8.00pm
Despite Rabail’s (Ayeza Khan) young cousin Umair’s (Muneeb Butt) sudden return from his hostel and an attempt to set his room on fire because of his obsessive crush on her, Rabail gets married to Zain (Imran Abbas). Emotionally distraught, Umair tries to come to terms with the situation. Meanwhile, heavy innuendo continues between Umair’s sister Nishal (Areeba Habib) and her flirty brother-in-law Zain (Imran Abbas), who only has eyes for her.
When she rants to him about not being happy after his decision to marry Rabail instead of her, Zain’s father (Tanveer Jamal) overhears her and is now clued in to the entire circus of saali-behnoi love-hate shenanigans behind the whole facade of a big fat wedding. Why he chooses to remain mum about it is as perplexing as Zain foolishly marrying Rabail to spite his sister-in-law Nishal and to keep up appearances. The wedding night begins with an annoyed Zain telling off Rabail for the lack of chemistry between them as newlyweds. Predictable turns and unconvincing situations mean only Rahat Fateh Ali’s OST leaves a mark.
