Recapping episode 6 of drama serial Jaan e Jaan
Jaan e Jahan episode 6 takes the story a couple of steps forward. It had been dragging on for a while with the last episode the weakest one yet. In their haste to speed things up team Jaan e Jahan has rushed the budding romance between Mahnoor (Ayeza Khan) and Shehram (Hamza Ali Abbasi) a bit, but more on that later.
The 6th episode opens with Shehram regaining consciousness after his fainting spell. He finds Zeenat (Mariam Nafees) in his room. Shehram dislikes her fussing and tries to explain to her politely that she need not bother with him, but Zeenat is on a mission, and is not easily dissuaded.
Meanwhile, Shehram’s step-brother, Tabrez (Haris Waheed), persists in pursuing a factor worker who has caught his fancy. He gives her husband and her a ride to their home when their motorbike breaks down. Something sinister is brewing which will materialize in the coming episodes.
We also see tensions spill over between Tabrez and Shehram, when, to Kishwar’ s (Savera Nadeem) chagrin, Shehram shows up to dinner instead of eating his (drugged) meal in his room. Kishwar asks Tabrez to move so that Shehram can sit at the head of the table. Tabrez does so reluctantly and is visibly annoyed. When Shehram brings up the unpaid salaries at the factory, Tabrez curtly and rudely. However, Shehram doesn’t engage him and things don’t escalate.
Simple twist of fate
Mahnoor is invested in the idea of teaching at the school that is yet to be built. She goes to the haveli again, but is made to wait in the courtyard, on Kishwar’s orders. Shehraam finds his legs, figuratively and literally, in this episode. He spots Mahnoor leaving the haveli after waiting for a long time.
Shehram has his valet stop her and then goes down to meet her. They talk, and Shehram commits to running a temporary school in the haveli courtyard. Mahnoor asks him to promise and both touch hands, signifying a pseudo handshake. The scene falls flat and comes off as a bit contrived. The chemistry between Mahnoor and Shehram isn’t quite there yet. Will it ever be? Only time will tell.
Our verdict: The plot in Jaan e Jahan is finally chugging along.
Our rating: 3.5/5
