the makers expect their audience to be prehensile and intelligent enough, to understand whats being conveyed. They cant just show every attribute :S, its what happened with Falak personally, the money, brought up, acceptance in society always, it made her proud, and so she blames MONEY, thats her case, this in no manner means people with money dont ask to god or repent, it was just her pretense, which, eventually is TRUE, in HER case...because she had money, power, status, she thought people like them, the elite class, that we widely call them, are all like her, and theyre not taught to ask to god, thats what she was trying to explain to her mom.I and everyone in our family and friends rather, thought that Mahirah, was exceptional in the scene, and even the dialogues were good, according to the situation, Umera is really deep, true, but then She's Falak, if suddenly, after just one mishap, she starts talking in utter deep urdu, like she did in that plant scene, wouldnt make sense! Thankgod they did not just show her sitting on the prayer mat with shalwar kameez all of a sudden through out, like the novel, that would have been unreal, haan kuch years pass karne ke baad if they'd show this, toh acceptable hota.
but why blame the money? Tomorrow if I reach a point in my life where I'm a millionaire but through my hard work, conviction and belief in God..I have worked hard to become who I am and I should be thankful to God for giving me so much when there are people who starve to death with no food, home or shelter. God has given me the money as a result of my hardwork..right? Now it's up to ME to see what I'm going to do with it, how I'm going to use it etc and whether or not I'm going to be thankful to God for everything I'm blessed with. The money is not the problem..the clothes are not the problem..the problem is the person. Rich or poor..the person is to blame. Yet we blame the materialistic things in life for distracting us..No that's not true, that's just a way for us to feel less guilty of what we're doing wrong. We know what's right and what's wrong and we should be capable of knowing what to thank for and to realize that if we're fortunate enough to have what others don't than that's God's blessing..we shouldn't misuse.
Umera's dialogues were vague..this is a writer who tends to speak on a universal level, whom people like to relate to through her work. I'm an ardent fan of Umera..and whatever she wrote there was flawed. I don't find any justification in whoever's claiming she meant money's the problem, this is the problem or that's the problem. In my opinion the problem is Falak herself and then her parents as well who never taught the importance of God...yet Umera just made it seem all otherwise.
