The emotional roller coaster,Β Khaie, concluded this Wednesday night. With the factors of revenge, hate, jealousy, and a lot of bloodshed, the story ends on a positive and hopeful note. Let’s have a look at the last episode:
Khaie ends the way it should be ended:
Chanar Khan and his father, Durrab Khan, were killed in the end as they were the killers of many people and they ruined the whole family of Zamda. Zamda took the revenge which was due. Zamda’s character is a strong presentation of female courage and resilience, rather than a victim. Though she has to kill many, she is compelled to do so.
Chanar Khan’s murder scene was dragged and left many questions behind:
That scene looks a bit dragging with lengthy dialogues between Zamda (Durrefishan Saleem) and Chanar (Faisal Quraishi). It could be done precisely, with Chanar being already poisoned at home. Also, he doesn’t offer any resistance. He happily gets ready to be killed. Why? A treacherous tribal feud who proudly kills his enemies like it is just a play, who toys with the lives of his opponents, why could he be so unbothered on seeing his death standing before him at a distance of a few feet? Was he so disappointed in his life that he surrendered before death so easily? At least he could make an effort to snatch the pistol from Zamda.
Burying the negative ritual of Khaie forever:
Zamda leaves Aizaz alive. She brings him to Karachi to educate and train him according to her wishes. That way she has buried the negative ritual of Khaie forever. That is a good and positive gesture but it comes after a lot of killings and bloodbaths. In the very last scene, a light taunt by Chanar Khan is that Zamda doesn’t hate him. If so, she would have killed Aizaz too. That thing also leaves a question mark on whether Zamda’s decision was a correct one or not. Anyway, the character of Chanar Khan truly deserves the end that he saw.
The last episode doesn’t have much to offer:
As we have seen the promos, we have an idea of what type of ending it is going to be. Things were already decided, only the execution phase was to be seen. However, the conclusion is worth admiring.
Performances:
Durrefishan has proved her mettle with this character. It was not at all an easy one, especially against the likes of a superstar, Faisal Quraishi. She has done justice to her character in each episode, especially in the last one when she has to complete her mission with the weapon. Khalid Butt (late) and others were also up to the mark. Adopting the local dialect and accent by almost all the actors was also admirable.
A different story altogether:
The ratings and liking of viewers for Khaie are proof that people want to see such near-to-reality content.
The director, the writer, the producers’ duo, the actors, and the entire production team deserve a clap.
We have seen drone shots and extremely long aerial shots for which the camera team deserves praise.
Khaie is going to be remembered for a long time.
