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

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - A Requiem
 Now that dust has finally settled on Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan, memories of the absolutely whacko and madcap trials and tribulations of the annoyingly irritating but nonetheless lovable gang of four, Mujtaba, Daneez, Shimraiz and Kiran, continue to reverberate. It was Sunday, but it didn’t seem like it...

Durre-Shahwaar - Episode 2
I fell in love with this drama serial last week. Yes, there is no other way of writing this. I aim for objectivity in my reviews, but in Durre-Shahwaar’s reviews, I am afraid I will be all gushy. When I saw the first episode last week, I felt as if ALL my complains in most of the previous reviews...

Mataa-e Jaan - Episode 3
Mata-e Jaan hai tu/ Meri Jaan hai tu – the languorous refrain of the theme song, beautifully sung by Bilal Khan, set the tone for this third episode. Haniya and Ibaad went from being nodding acquaintances to almost dating each other, Adam and Yamina’s marriage took a nosedive, and Ibaad’s parents continued...

Sanjha - Episode 18
Considering how much I’ve been enjoying Sanjha ever since it started, I was surprised at how easily my attention wandered today. A strangely mediocre episode in view of the high standards set by the ones earlier, this one just seemed to meander around without getting anywhere, till it came to the final...

Mora Piya - Episode 16
Aww! Poor Azaan was sent away to boarding school! Such a heart wrenching moment as the child bade farewell to his weeping mother and his sad grandparents. The child actor playing Azaan is so adorable and acts so well that it’s easy to forget that it’s not this child’s real story playing out on screen. Now...

Amma aur Gulnaz - Review
If there is one thing production houses really need to understand, it is the fact that having two dramas with similar themes on air at the same time really does not capture the attention of the viewers. We already have Jannat Say Nikali Hui Aurat on air, which is showcasing the plight of aging parents...

Aadha Din Aur Puri Raat - Episode 1
Really?! Are they serious?!! This is a new serial?? Which decade of the recent past did Geo find this relic from?? The storyline, the dialogues, the beyond ugly sets, the “pop” music, all were so dated and jaded. At times Mehreen Raheal looked she had walked on to this set straight from a shoot of Dastaan...

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - The Finale
I am still smiling. It is not very often that the ending of a drama serial, which has disappointed you so much, leaves you on the note that you are reminded of exactly why and how you fell in love with it. Anyway, so Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan has ended. I spent the previous week reading my previous reviews,...

Durre Shehwar - Episode 1
Yes!! Haissam Hussain is back – and how!! Durre Shehwar is a winner!! I totally, absolutely, unquestionably, loved the first episode, right from the stunning opening scene. Imbued as it was with a sense of utter calm and peace, that brilliantly shot sequence – the close up of hands with the prayer...

Mataa-e Jaan - Episode 2
After last week’s ho-hum beginning, I didn’t exactly leave everything by the wayside to catch the latest going-ons in Haniya and Ibaad’s lives. But once I got around to watching it, I have to say this second episode was a huge improvement over the previous one. For one thing Samuel Huntington was thankfully...
