Popularity[edit]

In Saudi Arabia, 3-4 million viewers admit to watching the program daily on the Saudi-owned MBC channel. The show's final episode attracted a record 85 million Arab viewers when it aired last Aug. 30.^[2]The success of 'Noor' for MBC has sparked a boom in dubbed Turkish dramas across many leading Arab sat-casters. MBC even launched a pay TV channel in partnership with pay TV platform Showtime Arabia entirely dedicated to 'Noor' that allows viewers to watch episodes of the sudser around the clock.^[1]

The dizzying pop-cultural phenomenon surrounding the series has encouraged the broadcaster further to make a film out of the Turkish soap. The feature version, which MBC will co-produce with Turkish shingle Momentum Prods., will have a budget in the $2.5 million-3.5 million range and will also be shot in Turkish before being dubbed into Arabic. The project will reunite Turkish thespians Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Songül Öden, who captured the hearts of Arab audiences in their husband-and-wife roles of Muhannad and Noor, respectively.^[1]

In Bulgaria, Gümüş is also very popular and every episode is watched by at least 2 million viewers. In result of its popularity, Songül Öden came to Bulgaria and was a guest in the Bulgarian TV shows 'Dancing Stars 2' and 'Slavi Show'.She also visited Albania as a guest in 'Kënga Magjike' festival in 2011. It is above average in Pakistan and was airing on Geo Tv but was transferred on Geo Kahani in Pakistan. The series was also popular in Macedonia. Gumus was one of the first series shown in Macedonia, and now the popularity of Turkish series in Macedonia is growing.

Reception and influence[edit]

Noor and Muhannad observe Ramadan, and their marriage is arranged by Muhannad's grandfather but the characters break with tradition in other ways. Characters are shown drinking wine with dinner, partying, and kissing onscreen which has been deemed inappropriate for younger audiences such as children.^[2]^[3] Muhannad had sex (and an illegitimate child) before marrying Noor, and one of his cousins has an abortion.^[2]^[4] Perhaps most significantly, Noor and Muhannad's marriage is depicted (in an idealized way) as a modern partnership between equals, in which Muhannad supports his wife's career ambitions as a fashion designer.^[2]^[5] The AP reports that the show 'seems particularly effective in changing attitudes because it offers new content in a familiar setting: Turkey is a Muslim country, inviting stronger viewer identification than Western TV imports.'^[5]

Maternity wards report a rise in the baby names Noor and Mohannad.^[6]

Clothing stores throughout the Middle East report brisk sales of blouses and dresses seen on the television series.^[6]

The show encouraged Arabs to visit Turkey.^[7] The success of Noor in the Arab world was partly attributed to the fact that it was dubbed into the Syrian dialect—a widely understood living variety of Arabic—and not into the little spoken formal Arabic which had hitherto been used to dub Mexican telenovelas.^[8]Fifa 07 pc.

The final episode[edit]

Palace

In the final episode of the series the time is moved forwards to 14 years later and the audience sees that everyone has grown up and are all living a happy life. Gümüş is writing in her diaries about what has happened for the past 13 years and shows us how all the characters have grown up and changed including her current pregnancy.

I enjoyed this Indian spy thriller by Manreet Singh Someshwar. Anyone who understands the political situation in south Asia would enjoy this. The Indian Premier and the Pakistani leader are about to meet at a secret location when the Pak leader is blown to smithereens. As his briefcase, containing top secret documents, is incinerated along with him, it becomes imperative to find copies of those documents. Enter Raghav and Mehrunisa, two capable intelligence gatherers. He’s a member of the Resear..more

‘The Hunt for Kohinoor’ authored by Manreet Sodhi Someshwar, is a sequel to her ‘Taj Conspiracy’. I have not read the ‘Taj Conspiracy’, hence when I received ‘The Hunt for Kohinoor’ for review, I was a bit apprehensive. But once I started reading it, it does not make you wish you had read the first one, except of course the fact that you will definitely want to read the first one because now you know how well she writes!

This is the second book I read from the Someshwar 'Thriller' stable and I am not picking up the third one. Its just heart-breaking to know that some writers in India still want to emulate someone from the west and end up doing such a bad job of it. There are some people who claim Someshwar doesn't copy Dan Brown. Well in that case can someone help me with how the secret code to decipher the Koh-i-noor is a direct lift from the 'Da Vinci Code'. Remember, Da Vinci's mirror writing?

The joys of reading a book are manifold. The fact that language could be used in such a variety of ways to describe the same old mundane thing is refreshing. This is the feeling I got while reviewing The Hunt For Kohinoor by Manreet Sodhi Someshwar, an opportunity I was given by Westland Publishers.

There is something about Mehrunisa Khosa that breathes within you, long after you have finished the book. The aura of surreal mysticism, and yet embracing a reality that’s profound and introspective, you, as a reader, find yourself drawn towards this lady. A historian, blessed with the skill to decipher cryptic codes, Mehr turns out to be the readers’ fantasy, her intelligence coupled with her good looks, silently caressing through the words, so beautifully penned by the author, Manreet Sodhi So..more

Book Review: The Hunt For Kohinoor: Trust Nothing, Not Even The Mirror
The Hunt For Kohinoor: Book 2 of the Thriller Series Featuring Mehrunisa Khosa by Manpreet Sodhi Someshwar is an excellent thriller that keeps you intact and hooked to this 425 pages novel. The thriller keeps you on your toes while vigorously moving you among various locations in India, Pakistan, PoK and Afghanistan. In fact the start itself goes along with an explosive murder of the Pak..more

The Hunt For Kohinoor is the second book in the thriller series featuring Mehrunisa Khosa written by Manreet Sodhi Someshwar. The book's blurb reads: 'A spine-chilling ninety-six hour hunt through the world's most dangerous terrain where history collides with gunfire - will Mehrunisa get out of this one alive?
One morning on her way to work, Mehrunisa gets a call that will change her life forever. The truth about her missing father is at her fingertips - but it will take her on the most desperate..more

This is the book which establishes the characterisation of Mehrunissa Khosa, started in the first book in much more firm tones. She is more deeply etched and defined. It is a book about Mehrunissa Khosa - start to finish, and no one else. It is about how she gets entangled in a major terror plot, and is practically forced to help in the investigation, with grave risk to her own life and liberty, in a headlong 96-hour race that will determine the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands - as well as..more

The Hunt for Kohinoor is essentially the story of Mehrunisa Khosa. An art historian, the Mughal period being her area of expertise, a phone call changes her life. She is required to prevent the deadliest terror attack ever planned on Indian soil. Her journey will take her through the rough terrains of warring territories, and she has less than 96 hours to accomplish the impossible. Why would she do this? Because in exchange she is offered the truth about her missing father. But even as she races..more

The book starts slow but picks up pace in course of time. Manreet takes ample time to acquaint her readers with the setting, (physical, natural and mental) and the characters. The conspiracy is revealed later once the readers know who and what they are dealing with. Each character justifies his or her actions and thus the reader’s sympathy is with all of them, resulting in a promising read. The descriptions of events are so vivid that the scenes almost start playing in front of you. The writer s..more

The novel has several aspects which hold the reader – the under-current of a daughter meeting her father who was considered dead for many years and on the other side the father has recovered from a partial memory loss. The father being held captive so that the daughter can do some spy-work .. something for which she is neither trained nor does she have the skills. The story is about love and friendship, loyalty and patriotism, action and adventure, India-Pak-Afghanistan-US political and militar..more

It is astonishing to read a fast paced engaging thriller that races past in ninety six hours, without giving away the plot and reading in redundancy.
Her language was simple and lucid with connotative vocabulary in the narration. What held my attention was the protagonist and her daunting adventures, for the Indian fiction market such a character is the rarest of rare. It would make for a great bollywood script with thrilling elements like terrorism and national security in the picture. The story..more

Have always ignored books that had plot connected to politics. But, I think the view is getting changed after reading this brilliantly paced thriller by Manreet Sodhi Someshwar. This one is such superb amalgamation of a political plot and history lessons, aided with thrilling 96 hours journey of a spy.
Extreme detailing is not limited to just characters. The backdrop of Afghanistan, FATA, POK, Pakistan and places around - are given in so much details that it leaves you stunned. Add to that, the..more

Got the copy from the publisher. Loved the plot, writing and interplay of characters. An impending attack on the Indian soil(bolder than 26/11), a dead Pakistani President and an important document on the loose.RAW chief Jag Mishra has 96 hours to select the right team, pull the right levers. Will the trio of art historian Mehrunisa, RAW officer Raghav and CBI Agent R.P.Singh be able to resolve the murders.

The single biggest thing that pleased me about the book is that all the character sketches were believable, realistic and straight onto the reader’s face - an integral part of any book that is missing in so many recent Indian writings.
This book receives thumbs up from dream peddler, definitely! Apart from a few sketchy characters, a couple of loose ends, this makes good read, during a 4 hour long flight from Calcutta to Mumbai. This book has enough inside it, to keep you gripped, enchanted and e..more

The Hunt For Kohinoor, is one of those suspense thrillers that makes a great one time read and keeps you yearning for more of this genre. I received the book at about 7 pm and was done with it within 10 pm and had to forgo my dinner as the book simply wouldn't let me go! There are a few dull moments in the book, especially in the journey through Pakistan, but the narrative flows freely and keeps the mind occupied, imagining the scenic vistas through which the protagonist travels.

This is a great book that holds your interest from start to finish. Since all thrillers more or less have predictable outcomes ( the hero never loses does he?) this book too fits the formula but in a well written and well crafted book, Manreet Sodhi Someshwar keeps up the pace of Mehrunisa Khosa's nail biting adventure to find and unlock the secret of the Kohinoor.
I loved this book which takes the reader on a roller coaster ride from Kashmir to Bora Bora across cultures and eras.

Full Review: http://antorjatikbangali.wordpress.co..
Close on the heels of the thriving success of The Taj Conspiracy, Manreet Sodhi Someshwar is back with yet another adventure trail. The ‘Dan Brown’ of India, Sodhi takes us through one of the best thrillers ever written in Indian literature.The book chronicles the journey of Mehrunisa- an Iranian-Indian, trained in Renaissance art and Mughal history; who has an aristocratic look that masks a tenacious and strong-willed woman with a troubled pa..more

An gripping tale of cross border conspiracies that is full of turns and twists and some really fast paced action . The author has done good research on the book and gives very detailed account of how international spy networks, weapons, and spy recruitment works. All the thrill is enhanced by the Dan Brown type chasing of clues across the border and taking clues from history of Indian Subcontinent now spread across multiple countries that were one just a generation ago. Read The Hunt For Kohino..more

Manreet does it again. Yet again a fast paced, un-put-down-able stuff. And on this occasion no one can blame her of copying the Da Vinci style as was done with reference to the 'Taj Conspiracy'. The beauty is that the book is well researched in terms of facts on which this fiction is built and even this fiction too is not totally in the realm of fantasy as the story is a credible one. The narration is taut and redundant descriptions have been avoided. The crescendo is built naturally and keeps t..more

The Hunt For Kohinoor is fast paced with great research done to bring to life every scene as if we were watching it happen live. The plot has been woven on the political grounds of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Russia with great care taken to keep it close to the reality yet gifting it the leeway of fiction writing.

Nicely paced spy story . Loved the plot .. Liked the small details covering every aspect of plot and no loose thread but one what was pak president doing at border with kohinoor details hidden in Lahore ??
Looking forward to the next book of the series to see both snow-leopard and his cub into action together ..

One of the best thrillers i have read this year. The writer writes with an experienced hand and knows how to plot a good thriller.
The plot and storyline is good and engaging and fast paced. Although the writer doesn't give Mehrunisa much to do in this novel....her loved ones more than make up for it.

Review at A Bookworm’s Musing: http://wp.me/p2J8yh-2B1
Read this book for the engaging style of narration, which also breathes life into the setting as well as the action that happens. The plot is well woven too. There are few parts that would feel dull, and characters also seem to materialize out of nowhere, which feel odd.

Manreet Sodhi Someshwar has done a good job with this Thriller. Mehrunisa, the protagonist is a strong character, and she discovers herself in this novel. A Mughal History & Artifact expert she is sent to Pakistan on a quest.

a gripping thriller. unlike the other book from the same author, this one definitely lives up to the expectations, at least mine. from start to finish, the book has all the features of a blockbuster and if a good director may, he can make a hit movie out of it.

Absolutely enjoyed it! A thriller and fast paced action all finely packed with beautifully interwoven emotions and anguish. Good detailing of the political tension in the Indo-pak-afghan terrain. Definitely keeps the reader on toes!
