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

Mataa-e Jaan - Episode 11
So, here’s the deal … every week I post a review of Mataa-e Jaan and every week the review/episode is ripped to shreds – it is a given by now, standard operating procedure if you will… and frankly speaking, I’m totally fine with it. Since, for me, it’s still one of the better serials around. I don’t...

Zard Mausam Episode 2
The second episode of this serial was in a way kind of disappointing, but at the same time, satisfying. Weird combination, I know. One of the two reasons why this episode was disappointing was because this episode did not move on too much. It’s understandable that it’s the second episode,...

Sirat E Mustaqeem Episode 1 Review
The 1st episode of Sirat-e-Mustaqeem surely was very interesting. Mustaqeem (Sami Khan) is shown as a very carefree and “Awaara” person. Even though his father (Firdous Jamal) is a very religious and strict person and tries to stop him, he always does what he wants. Mustaqeem’s mother loves him very...

Yahan Pyar Nahi Hai - Episode 2
We are now into second episode of the drama and I would describe the current pace of the drama as: na doob raha hai na ubhar raha hai. I am hoping it’s not one of those dramas that take 10 episodes for the real story to begin.  Today’s episode was character driven rather than narrative driven settling...

Maseeha - Episode 1
Now, what I don’t like is when my first impression of a play compels me to be over-critical, I honestly feel it is unfair to discredit or disapprove a play based only on one episode. But what do you do when you find most of the things over-exaggerated and flawed…to be honest or not to be honest, that...

Umera Ahmed : A pen picture
Ok! Here comes umera Ahmed the writer who shares my entire name with an extra “A”. This was not a very tricky one predictably since she has written so much that it is very easy to decipher her writings in to her personality. One important thing this is just an insight in to an interesting philanthropic...

Bilqees Kaur - Episode 4
Now that we are at episode 4 of Bilqees Kaur, the story has started to make its presence felt. Initially, I was watching it primarily for Bushra Ansari and her fabulous portrayal of Bilqees, but now that the other characters are becoming familiar, and we have a little bit more insight into their mindset,...

Mera Saaein 2 - Episode 4
After the not-so-great episode, as DB put it, last week, this week’s episode most definitely paid off. The story moved on subtly yet sharply to a point where I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. Firstly, we started by witnessing a lot of sweet talking between Shazmeen and...

Annie Ki Aayegi Baraat - Episode 5
Saima Chaudhry is so awesomely funny! I was in fits as I watched her throw a hissy fit at Chaudhry Sahab for daring to invite his sister from Birmingham to visit them in Pakistan, never mind the fact that the poor guy probably had no say in the matter from that end either. Bechare Chaudhry Sahab! Now...

Mataa-e Jaan - Episode 10
I watched this latest episode with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. I melted at the Aabi and Haniya moments, felt a sense of foreboding as I realized that the countdown had started, wanted to spout off some expletives at Mr. Uzair, and found myself urging Yamina to not give up as she struggled...
