The latest from Ekta Kapoor’s stable is a daily soap Khwaish on Sony Entertainment Television at 7.30 pm. It is the story of two Indian Muslim families settled in Dubai. The central character is Afreen and her dream man is Kabir, who is a simple and down-to-earth man who goes all out to keep everyone happy.

If you like 10-hanky dramas, this one’s a real tear-jerker.

With their financial future set, the couple is ready to relax and enjoy their hard-earned riches. But Stan (Woody Harrelson), the FBI agent who has spent years in failed pursuit of Max, refuses to believe that his nemesis is calling it quits. He thinks that Max and Lola are actually plotting to steal the third Napoleon diamond.

When the longtime adversaries meet up in paradise island, Max quickly turns the tables and befriends the frustrated detective showing him that Paradise Island has no shortage of pleasures to offer. But in order for Stan to figure out exactly what Max and Lola are up to, he will have to navigate all the twists and double-crosses of an action-packed story of friendship, suspicion and thievery. — NF
