Why is no one discussing Leader’s brutal take on revolution?

I admit I came late to political thriller Leader. It’s not packed with big-name stars or viral reels. But this heartbreaking...

Could Begin Watch become Pakistan’s answer to Netflix?

Begin Watch positions itself as Pakistan’s premium Netflix alternative, but can it justify its higher pricing in a market dominated by low-cost streaming rivals? The streaming platform is building its identity around a mix of original productions, curated classics, and international entertainment, positioning itself as a unified viewing space for

Jannat Say Nikali Hui Aurat - Review

Very frankly, I started watching this drama with zero expectations – it was mainly because I was bored, and mainly because I wanted to see how much the story has been copied from Maaye Ni. Oh yes, the plot outlines seemed quite similar. To top the whole thing off, the name of the female lead was...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

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...
