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...

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...

Decoding Primetime Hegemony: Who Is the Default Pakistani?

If you turn on your television in 2026, you will be confronted by a remarkably smooth world. There is no grit. There is no...

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...

Winter Love: Hum TV’s K-Drama Inspired Romance Is Melting

Few Pakistani dramas arrive with as much romantic potential as Winter Love. Hum TV’s Mawra Hocane and Khushhal Khan-starrer combines an arsenal of beloved romantic tropes: enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance, forced proximity, and pretend marriage, as these two professions collide in increasingly awkward circumstances. Mushk (Mawra Hocane) inherits a matchmaking company

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...

Geo TV Mora Piya

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...

Hum TV Mataa-e-Jaan

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...

A viewer's complaint to ARY

Alright, just so it is clear, I am very angry, no, actually, infuriated at the callous manner with which we the viewers have been treated by those in charge of programming at ARY Digital TV. I am beyond mad at the unannounced cancellation of two recent episodes of Kuch Pyar ka Pagalpan. Didn’t...

Geo TV's latest drama serials - a critique

Between work, when I want to take a break, my favourite past time is to log onto the website of different TV channels (read, ARY, HUM and GEO) and read through the plot outlines of the drama serials, pore over related blog entries, and watch new promos. I do this in the hope of catching anything interesting...

Hum TV Maat

Maat - Episode 24

Let me start this review by commending ALL those viewers of Maat, who took time out to visit Umera Ahmed’s official page on Facebook, and register their protest at the way the characters have been portrayed in this popular-but-loser serial. I have heard that the admin deletes posts that are negative...

Shadi Mubarak - Episode 5

OK, I am officially disgusted. Do sons-in-law show extreme nakhras only because their mothers put them up to it? I do know that most of the sons are told “Susraal walon ko sar par mat bithana” and “Aagay tumhari marzi!” And almost every son is told off after marriage that he gives...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar - Episode 21

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Wah! What an episode! By far the best one so far, and that’s saying a lot!! Excellent direction, superb acting, beautifully framed shots, hard hitting dialogues, spot-on editing, great use of the OST – in short, everything gelled together, and how!!! Today’s episode covered...

Hum TV Sanjha

Sanjha - Episode 14

Rozy died. This sad news was delivered to Mumtaz by a stranger who found an unnamed dead woman, her body marked all over by cigarette burns. The only way of identifying her was by calling a telephone number found on her person. Such was the horrific ending to the life of a dancing girl, one who had been...

Geo TV Mora Piya

Mora Piya - Episode 12

What a fabulously heart wrenching episode! Unable to handle the stress of dealing with a very pregnant and emotional Ujala, and failing to keep a lid on his frustration and anger, Faisal decided to take himself away from the sight of the unwanted baby, hoping that distance would help put things in perspective. He...
