THE WEEK THAT WAS
Darr Khuda Se | Geo TV, Tuesdays 8.00pm
Despite her sister Afreen’s (Sana Javed) warnings that ex-boss Shahwaiz (Imran Abbas) is a total weirdo, the shallow and greedy Tamkeen (Kiran Haq) still goes ahead and marries Shahwaiz for his money. Only to realise soon enough what a terrible mess she has landed herself into in the form of Shahwaiz, who is unscrupulous, psychotic and violent. Initially, Tamkeen tries to hide the physical and verbal abuse from her family but, when she tries to show Shahwaiz her real arrogant self, it backfires and Shahwaiz sends her marching back to her parents’ house.
Sana Javed is deadpan but perhaps that’s what her role of a dull, traditional girl demands. Imran Abbas remains unimpressive in his negative role. Mariam Mirza as Shahwaiz’s bed-ridden first wife Gul seems to be the only one having fun lying in bed grunting, pulling faces and spitting on her caregivers.
