We all loved watching Tanhayian while growing up. In a way, we are a Haseena Moin generation... Imagine our delight when it was revealed that the old cast is getting back together to make a sequel. :)
Spoiler Alert (The story)
The first few episodes were quite depressing. We discover that Sania (Mareena Khan) has not met her sister Zara (Shehnaz Sheikh) for the last few odd years. And that Farhan (Qazi Wajid) has lost all his business and is living a monkish existance confined to his room brooding about lost fortune and name, all day long.
The family is soon reunited as Zain (Asif Raza Mir) and his two daugters return to Pakistan and stay at Sania's house. It is quite an emotional scene when they reveal that Zara died a few years ago.
Amidst all this intense and emotional roller coaster ride, the story takes a turn for the better when our old beloved Qabacha (Behroz Sabzwari) returns to Pakistan, only to move in opposite Sania's house. It is quite heartening to see that Qabacha has a son now with an equally difficult to pronounce name: Shamsuddin Iltitmish (or something of the sort) and that time has done little to quench Qabacha's thirst for Sania's acknowledgement. ;)
Conclusion
Will this be as big a hit as it's prequel, only time will tell. But for now we do see it as a promising effort. We salute Mareena and the gang for getting back together and rekindling our long love affair with the original Tanhayian. For now, that's all she wrote... :)
