Plot[edit]

Kesar (Nandini Singh) is a traditional Punjabi girl living with her large extended family in a village. She gets an offer of marriage from the wealthy Maliya family, living in a big city. Kesar marries Rudra (Nikhil Arya), the son of the Maliyas. She tries her best to cope with the sophisticated urban lifestyle of her new family. But soon she finds herself trapped in a web of deceit. It is revealed that Rudra and his mother Pam have conspired against the innocent Kesar for the sake of some valuable inheritance. Kesar's life goes through a great deal of turmoil. She finds support from Rudra's friend Abhi, who loves her selflessly. But Abhi dies a tragic and early death. His heart is transplanted into the body of Harman (Yash Tonk), who begins to experience the same feelings of love for Kesar. Meanwhile, Kesar has given birth to Rudra's daughter Muskaan. Rudra dies in a bomb blast. After many more troubles, Kesar decides to marry Harman. However, they are separated by adverse circumstances.

Going through these vicissitudes, Kesar gets a new face and identity as Kavita (played by Prachi Shah). She marries Police Commissioner Arjun Gill and brings up Abhimanyu, his son from his first marriage, as her own. She continues to miss her daughter Muskaan and her adopted son Krish. Later on, Kesar is reunited with her daughter Muskaan. The secret that Kesar and Kavita are the same person comes out before everyone. Kesar continues to live with Arjun and Muskaan. Krish lives with Harman. Harman is married to Nupur but remains good friends with Kesar.

Nupur becomes jealous of Harman and Kesar's relationship. Nupur tries to kill Kesar, but instead hurts Harman and he became blind. The only person to know this is Nupur and Harman's daughter Khwaish. Krish meets Khushali, and they fall in love. Muskaan and Rohan meet and fall in love too. On their engagement night, Kesar finds out Rohan's real name is Ajay and he was married before. Krish and Khushali get engaged but Muskaan and Rohan do not. Rohan leaves the house but tells everyone that he had already informed Muskaan about this truth in a CD. However, Muskaan never managed to watch it. Later, the misunderstanding is cleared up. Muskaan decides to get back with Rohan, but on her engagement night, she is almost strangled to death. The person who wants to kill Muskaan is Naina, her wedding planner. Naina has loved Rohan for a long time but he does not love her. On Muskaan and Rohan's wedding day, police arrest him for killing his first wife. Naina is actually the one who has killed Rohan's first wife. She gathers evidence against Rohan and shows it to the police, so that his marriage will be delayed. Kesar and Arjun support Rohan. They compel Naina to admit that she killed Rohan's first wife. Naina then commits suicide.

Muskaan and Rohan get together. Then, on the day of their marriage, Muskaan refuses to marry Rohan. Abhimanyu is in love with Muskaan and has confessed his love for her. Then he rapes her. This matter is taken to court. Meanwhile, Nupur tells Harman that she is the reason behind his going blind. Nupur gets shot and dies. Then, one day, Arjun tries to kill Harman. The reason is that Arjun is jealous of Harman's friendship with Kesar. However, Harman tells Arjun that his eyes have healed and he can see. Arjun is shocked to hear this. Kesar then brings the police and they arrest Arjun. Meanwhile, Muskaan and Rohan have got married. But Rohan beats up Muskaan, because he thinks that she and Abhimanyu are having an affair. When Rohan realises that it is not so, he apologises to Muskaan, but she doesn't forgive him. Muskaan and Kesar then move in with Harman, Krish, Khushali and Khwaish. They all live happily in Harman's house.

The Cliffhanger

After four tumultuous episodes, the season finale of Jinn does well to keep things interesting but the cliffhanger ending and multiple unresolved plot threads are pretty disappointing, especially given the build up in the previous episode for what felt like a climactic finale to come. When the dust settles, Jinn’s failure to wrap things up is just another thing to add to a list of issues this series has clocked up over the episodes which is a real shame as the show started pretty brightly.

The episode itself begins with Omar agreeing to help Kesar find Mira. The two leave the village together while Mira helps Hassan out of the cave. Integral of a square wave. As they hurry away, they begin to navigate the myriad of ruins around them as the ground stops shaking and they find themselves alone for now. With Yassin and Vera still walking through the desert with the same intention, Mira calls on Kesar who appears and falls from the sky, dehydrated and seemingly dying. He tells her the vessel is too weak as his body begins to dissolve into sand.

As Mira clutches at the remnants of his body, in his dying breath he tells her to watch out for Vera’s powers. As day turns to night, Mira and Vera eventually wind up coming face to face while Hassan arrives on his own accord. Vera tells her she didn’t push Tareq off the cliff – Kesar did. Mira then pleads with Yassin to leave Vera and come with her back to the city while Hassan informs them that the Jinn’s true intention is to merge with a human host and become all powerful.

From here things descend into chaos as we see an emotional showdown and Mira opens up to Yassin. As things settle down, we cut to the next day as Mira looks set to do some audio recording until Kesar shows up at the door. They begin talking but Kesar tells her he’s not really Kesar, he’s actually Hosny. Before she can get a chance to digest what she’s heard, Fahed appears too, seemingly now a fully fledged Jinn.

The series then ends abruptly with many questions left unanswered and a cliffhanger ending to ponder over until a potential second season. Whether this one will receive it is another matter and given some of the haphazard storytelling and uneven pacing across the five episodes, Jinn feels more rough around the edges than it should. There’s certainly potential here and the ideas around the Jinn and the various character drama is good but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I went into this one pretty optimistic too but unfortunately Jinn fails to back up its promising premise early on with substantial plot and character development to really chew over.

A shame for sure but Jinn ends with far too many unresolved plot points and a great big cliffhanger to make it a difficult show to recommend. With a bit more screen time for the Jinns to help flesh out their backstory and less teen romance, Jinn could be a really solid thriller but unfortunately it’s likely to fall into the realm of mediocrity instead. This is a difficult show for me to recommend and despite singing its praises early on, my positivity has faded faster than the Jinn itself turning to smoke.
