Raqaas Has Some Terrible Parents

There are no slammed doors in Dilawar’s house. No loud music. No carefree laughter. Not even the simple pleasure of standing outside when it rains. Instead, everyone tiptoes. In Raqaas, Green TV’s latest exploration of honour, misogyny and domestic control, fear has become so thoroughly embedded in a family that

Aik Nayee Cinderella – Episode 11

Irritation at Zainee! Infuriation at Meher! Frustration at Rooman! Clenching fists at Bano aunty! Sighing at Meesha! Feeling sorry for Mayer! Shaking head at Granny! The above just about sums up my shades of reactions to the different characters of Aik Nayee Cinderella’s eleventh episode. With...

Bari Apa - Episode 16

There were no new developments in today’s episode but like every other episode of Bari Apa, it was very engaging and I like how the story is slowly moving forward without putting me to sleep. Like the previous few episodes we saw Neelam trying very hard to stay out of Zubeida’s way and explain herself...

Hum TV Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Zindagi Gulzar Hai Episode 6 - The Formula!

When I finished watching today’s episode my first instinct was to crawl back in my bed and fall asleep because as predicted last week there was nothing new in the story. We have been going on around in circles for the past three episodes without making an inch of progress. To summarize episode 6: –...

Deeba, Deeba, Deeba, Deeba…what a wonderful character you are. Allah has given you wealth, looks and a sense of confidence that Miss Universe would envy and yet you are not happy.

ARY Mera Pehla Pyar

Mera Pehla Pyar - Episodes 8-9

Mera Pehla Pyar is like the drama that covers more in 2 episodes than 1, so it’s a pretty slow-paced story, but at the same time, it’s not boring at all. 2 weeks ago, we were introduced to Tahaa’s college life, and not an easy one to say the least. He used to be a “sensitive (as...

Aik Nayee Cinderella – Episode 10

Last week, I had written (in one of my comments) that Aik Nayee Cinderella leaves me in such a daze that I have to give myself a hard shake before writing a review. This episode was no different. Combining all my favourite scenes, it took me on a rollercoaster of emotions not very different to the ones...

Tanhaiyan Nayee Silsilay Episode 10

Before I start with episode 10’s review, I would like to offer my condolences to Sheheryar Munawwar and his family for the unfortunate and untimely death of his younger brother last week…may his soul rest in peace InShaAllah. This week’s episode was very light. It starts off with Serena giving a piece...

Daagh Episode 11

They say good things come to those who wait and it is certainly true of this week’s episode. I was a little disappointed last week but this week’s excellent episode more than made up for it. Everything was just right from the nuanced script, the acting,and the direction; a perfect blend.I never thought...
