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

Hum TV Sanjha

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...

Geo TV Mora Piya

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...

Geo TV

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...

Geo TV

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,...

Durr-e-Shehwar Hum TV

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...

Hum TV Sanjha

Sanjha - Episode 17

You’ve got to love the way Samira Fazal and Farooq Rind come together to tell a story. Sanjha is a complex story simply told, with characters so real you could run into them while walking through Bohri Bazar. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Nobody is pure as driven snow and neither is anyone...

Geo TV Mora Piya

Mora Piya - Episode 15

“Magar woh mera beta nahin hai!!!” At last the ugly truth was out!! The relief that Faisal felt at finally being able to tell the truth was palpable, but also evident was the immense pain and mental torture that he was going through. Adeel Hussein was brilliant today as the haunted Faisal. He had married...

Analyzing Humsafar - What made it a hit?

Humsafar is over – but it has left us with many things to write about which we, at least here on DramaPakistani.net, hope other producers/directors will note in order to improve the quality of drama serials that will hit our screens in the near and distant future. 1) A fresh lead pair With Fawad...
