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 - Episode 21
Oh boy. What a kerfuffle. Seriously, after today’s episode, the only word that is coming in my mind is: baytuka drama! I mean, really, kahan say kahan pohonch gaya hai yeh. Sigh! Feels good to let it out of the system. Anyway, so Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan returned to the screen after a gap of two weeks....

Dil To Bhatkey Ga - Eps 1-3
Thank you DB for introducing me to this serial – I had never even heard the name till you mentioned it in a recent post. My curiosity piqued, I decided to “trial” it  (thank you Annie) and now find myself intrigued.   Describing it in broad brush strokes, this is the story of a feudal...

Humsafar - Episode 22
Oh MAN! You know, right now, I really do not mind that HUM TV extended the drama serial to include one more episode. And this is only and only because today’s episode was just awesome. It had every ingredient that keeps you hooked to the screen, and in the end, when it’s over, you could let...

Maat - Last Episode
I am beyond speechless. Even though I had known what was the end of Maat (thanks to the novel), and I certainly had in mind a very negative review to write later, I was totally bowled over with the excellent, intense performance of everyone as this serial finally concluded. The episode started with Faisal...

Durre-Shahwar - First Look
OK, I must admit that my initial excitement about Durre-Shehwar received a rather huge blow when I saw the promos this morning. Until yesterday, I was totally excited about: 1) The original script of Umera Ahmed (I remembered Daam and my level of expectations went up several notches) 2) Direction by...

Sanjha - Episode 15
“Acchi lagti hai woh mujhe!” With this unthinking declaration of affection, Dr. Ammar might just have sealed Sanjha’s fate as yet another girl destined to spend her life as a dancer, a non-entity, lost somewhere in the bowels of the big city. Illustrating that jealousy knows no boundaries, Weeda...

Nadamat - Episodes 2 to 8
OK, I must admit my initial enthusiasm for Nadamat – after viewing the first episode – extinguished to a large extent in the subsequent few episodes. However, after seeing the production team marketing the serial on Facebook, I thought I should write something by way of feedback and point...

An open, honest letter to A&B Productions
To Mr. Asif Raza Mir and Mr. Babar Javed! I generally give a lot of credit to A&B Productions for producing drama serials based on novels and thus, encouraging viewers like me to go back and read the novels. I also appreciate the fact that A&B have made issue-based drama serials, focusing on...

Mora Piya - Episode 13
How could Faisal smile and happily pose for family pictures when he knows the baby, that Ujala was cuddling ever so lovingly,  is not his? Far from being a symbol of their love, this baby is in fact a harsh reminder of a brutal act that can never be forgotten by either of them. So how do they move forward...

Mataa-e-Jaan - First Look
OK, let me state this out-and-out: when you read Mehreen Jabbar, Farhat Ishtiaq, Adeel Hussain, and Sarwat Gillani all associated with ONE drama serial, the only thing that comes in your mind is: MUST WATCH! Yes, even after the disaster that Neeyat was (and mind you, that was only because the script...
