Mann Mayal Episode 01 Hum TV Drama 25 Jan 2016
Written by: Samira Fazal
Directed by: Haseeb Hassan
Produced by: Momina Duraid, Sana Shanawaz, Samina Humayun & Tariq Shah
Channel and Timings: HUM – Monday – 8pm
This first episode of Mann Mayal was thoroughly entertaining and fast paced. It was like watching a number of episodes in one go because so much happened only in these 40 plus minutes. The one thing that stood out about this first episode more than any other were the way the characters were introduced; I am sure there are many other viewers like me who had absolutely no problem connecting to the characters instantly. The credit for that partially also goes to the way this show was promoted but sometimes when there is so much hype surrounding a play the expectations attached to it are enormous therefore one can easily be disappointed as well. That was most certainly not the case here. The comic element in the script made it extremely interesting and I must say that this episode belonged to Mannu (Maya Ali) right from the get-go. This is not the first time that Maya Ali is playing the role of a girl who believes “meri zindagi mei wohi hota hai jo mei chahti hu” and one who does not want to get married but even then I was not reminded of any of the other characters she played in the past while watching the show because Mannu has a personality all of her own and Maya Ali was the perfect actor to play this role.
This first episode showed how different Mannu and Salahuddin (Hamza Ali Abbasi) are and that is exactly why they are attracted to each other. They are however quite unaware of their feelings for each other until they get a chance to interact with each other directly. Bia (Aiman Khan) who is Mannu’s cousin and best friend, however is well aware of the fact that Mannu and Salahuddin have a soft corner for each other. I must say that I absolutely loved the way the relationship between all these characters was translated on screen. Mannu’s scenes with Bia and all the other characters were very interesting. Mannu’s father is a very cool-headed person and her relationship with both of her parents and chachis is very friendly too – something that is most often the trademark of all of Samira Fazal’s scripts. She most often shows us parents who are anything but stereotypical. Saba Hameed plays Mannu’s mother who knows her daughter very well therefore she does not think telling Mannu that this proposal was for her would be a good idea.
