Goya character analysis: Omer:
Very rarely it is that we come across a serial so aptly named. Goya is the story of Rahat Hashmi, a terse, authoritarian rich businessman. On the other hand, this is also the story of Omar Hashmi, Rahat’s only son, a pampered young man with no real purpose in life. As a pair the father and son are a study in contrasts. Where his father is confident, unhesitating, unafraid of voicing his sky-high expectations of his only son, Omar is immature, unassertive, lacks a sense of self. He rebels here and there. A lifetime of conditioning has rendered him effectively mute. It is only when he is with close friends that we get glimpses of a more serious Omar, a man in his own right, chomping at the bit aching to free himself of his father’s shadow.
Goya Character analysis: Mohini Mirza:
What makes Goya work is the manner in which Rahat and Omar’s strained relationship is skillfully juxtaposed against the easy going, loving relationship shared by Mohini Mirza and her single mom Asma. Nothing called communication gap here in this family. Now this what I call a perfect pairing of opposites! Where Rahat’s dominating ways have turned Omar inwards, Asma’s confidence in her daughter has made Mohini a confident girl, one with a clear sense of who she is and where she is headed. In sharp contrast to Omar’s hesitant and unsure ways this girl is bold and is not afraid to speak her mind. Their first meeting was crackling with chemistry and I can’t wait for more of their story to unfold.
Goya:
The one thing that stood out was the attention to detailing in terms of characters. We saw Omar wearing brightly colored t-shirts, reflective of his immaturity and youth and from the promos it seems that there will be a gradual progression towards a relatively sober palette and more formal wear. Similarly Farah Shah’s dressing and her house interior was reflective of her upbeat attitude towards life and her colorful personality. Mohini was also appropriately dressed, as were Hashmi Sr. and his young wife and the housekeeper Mrs. Imtiaz.
As first episodes go, this was a solid opening from Team Goya. Mohammed Ahmed is a seasoned writer and his flair for penning relatable and real stories is on full display here. With no black or white extremes, a simple story on the surface, Goya appears to have layers of meaning embedded within crisp and meaningful dialogues. The director, Farrukh Faiz, has done a great job translating words from paper to screen. The narrative pace remained engaging throughout and the introduction of main characters and their defining personality traits was fluently accomplished.
Overall Goya is a must watch,it entertains and engages and has a beautiful and talented star cast along with supporting actors who carry the drama and its fast pace effortlessly.
