‘Munafiq’ had a powerful and emotional ending that showed that the strength of motherhood was more overpowering than the wealth that Ujala’s in-laws. It also showed how Ujala’s in-laws paid for their injustices and how Sabiha Begum was left empty-handed at the end. Ujala got a happy ending with Hamza, while Arman and Sabiha begum reaped what they sowed. It was a powerful moment, when we saw how Sabiha Begum was left all alone in the mansion that she was so proud of, in a home without her son, without any loved one.

It left us all with the message that hypocrisy and bad deeds never go unnoticed. One day, you might be living your life to the best- controlling and messing up other people, but when karma hits you, you have to pay back for what you’ve done to others.

Apart from a definite ending, Munafiq also ruled the audience’s heart owing to some incredible performances. Marina Khan played the manipulative Sabiha perfectly, while Adeel Chaudhry as a fiery, cruel, and intimidating young man, was phenomenal.
