Bas Tera Saath Ho Reinvents Desi Cinderfella

ARY’s new drama serial Bas Tera Saath Ho turns the damsel-in-distress trope on its head. Farhan Saeed plays Anas, an oppressed orphan who dutifully obeys his wealthy uncle and aunt, with only his ailing grandfather seemingly offering any real sympathy. In true Cinderfella fashion, Anas has been reduced to a

Aik Naye Cinderella Episode 7
Episode 7 was perhaps one of the most eventful episodes of Aik Nayee Cinderella thus far. It was bubbling with developments and hence made for an engrossing watch. The relationship of Mayer and Zainee has turned sour and the dreamy romance is treading rough waters as personality clashes surface. The...

Tanhaiyan Nayee Silsilay Episode 7
So after a really heavy episode last week, this one was laid back, which means this review will also be slightly laid back and not at all (hopefully) as long as last week’s J.  We start where we left off last week. Serena had just had a fight with Zeenia and left the room in distress. Enter Kishmish…the...

Daagh Episode 8
  “There is one rule for daughters and another for daughter in laws”, a direct quote from the unexpected Rumi of this play, Mushtaq. Seriously, my estimation of this character suddenly shot up sky high. He knows the rules of the game and just like the other manipulators in this story, Noreen and...

Bari Apa : Episode 12
Wow! I absolutely loved this latest installment, what an amazing twist in the story. Hats off to Samira Fazal for the brilliant script, I must say that I never saw that coming. Every little thing was beautifully done and this episode belonged to Zubeida for sure! Zubeida proved today that she can take...

Zindagi Gulzar Hai- Episode 2 Review
To be honest when I first heard Ma’am Sultana Siddiqui was directing my heart sank because I had never seen her work, and the word PTV conjured up long drawn out scenes of dialogue. Happily, so far my fears have been proved unfounded. The direction and editing have been smooth and flawless, carrying...

Meri Behan Maya: Episode 13
Maya manages to escape from Rashid’s house and I am sure there were many people who were expecting her to take the first bus back home or at least call her father or Zarmina but guess what she did not do any of that but decided to go to Zeb’s house instead! I think we all have a fair idea where the story...

Tanhaiyan Nayee Silsilay Episode 6
“Hum kuch logon se umeedein baandh lete hain, lekin jab woh umeedein toot-tti hain to bohut takleef hoti hai,” Episode 6 starts out with these very simple, yet very deep words said by ‘Faraan Sir’ when Khutbuddeen is begging for forgiveness for his past negligence of forgetting to call him back when...

Meri Behan Maya: Episode 12
First thing is first, I was wrong in thinking that Rashid and Maya had actually gotten married, apparently all of it was dikhawa after all…so thank God for that! But that also makes me wonder why Rashid gifted Maya the diamond set and why exactly was he planning a honeymoon on the phone! The story moved...
