Syrian star Nour Ali has become one of this Ramadan drama season’s top trends thanks to her starring role in the series “Mawlana” alongside Syrian actor Tim Hassan, drawing attention from the very first episode, which aired last Wednesday.
Nour Ali is sharing the lead for the first time with star Tim Hassan in the series “Mawlana.” Also appearing in the production, directed by Samer al-Barqawi, are veteran actress Mona Wassef and Fares al-Helou.
Nour Ali draws attention
The strong chemistry between Nour Ali and Tim Hassan in the opening episodes of “Mawlana” caught viewers’ attention, as the duo delivered scenes marked by convincing interaction and distinctive on-screen chemistry, helping win over audiences and strengthen the show’s presence from the outset.
Nour Ali in particular topped social media trends, with viewers expressing great admiration for her role as “Shahla” in the series, which is enjoying wide viewership in the Gulf and Iraq, as well as Syria and Lebanon.
Nour Ali impressed viewers in the fourth episode of “Mawlana” after shifting from someone who appeared afraid of Jaber (Tim Hassan) to someone who takes charge, particularly when she overpowered him and tied him up, revealing a stern side to her character.
The previous episodes offered a distinctive portrayal of the compelling relationship between Shahla (Nour Ali) and Jaber (Tim Hassan). Their relationship began with hostility, and Shahla shocked Jaber with electricity after he tied her up for fear his secret would be exposed, before the two moved toward an alliance that could help Shahla save her inheritance and rid herself of debt.
Comments on social media highlighted the harmony and rapport between Nour Ali and Tim Hassan, and how they managed to introduce each character and backstory in a smart, understated way.
The story of “Mawlana”
According to the entertainment website “Fuchsia,” the series “Mawlana” revolves around the character of “Jaber,” a man fleeing the flames of his turbulent past and his community’s rejection. He resorts to a bold ruse that leads him to a forgotten village, concealing himself behind a claim of sacred lineage.
In that place, worn down by a long wait for “the Mawla,” Jaber plants a false hope that soon turns into a real force pushing the villagers to hold on to life.
Between the sanctity of the mask and the fragility of the truth, Jaber finds himself torn between the role of savior and the danger of his secret being exposed, in an intense moral conflict that could set everything around him ablaze once the truth comes out.
