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

Nadamat - Episode 1
Ok, I decided to give Nadamat a try for two major reasons: 1) I wanted to see Sanam Baloch in a more serious role. 2) I had watched a soap by Fars Entertainment (“Wafa Kaisee Kahan Ka Ishq”) and enjoyed it – of course, it had dragged quite a bit but it did end in 100 episodes. So I...

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - Episode 15
Oh boy, what a depressing episode! I just cannot help but feel sorry for Kiran. She may have had selfish motives for getting engaged to Mujtaba but she certainly did not deserve to be ditched this way. The least Mujtaba could have done was to break up gently (like his mom had suggested), but the way...

Back in Time - Manay Na Yeh Dil (HUM TV) - Review
The reason this review is coming so late is because I was trying to gather my thoughts and muster up the same indignation I had felt the time when it was on air. Why indignation, you ask. Well, read on. MNYD was written by Samira Fazal and directed by Baber Javed. It followed the life of Shahriyar (Faisal...

Humsafar - Episode 15
I am bowled over. Today’s episode of Humsafar was so emotional I almost burst into tears. Yeah, so we were all expecting it to be a moving episode but I guess anything with kids in it always tends to go straight to at least my heart. Anyway, so Khirad finally went to Ashar to ask him to fund Hareem’s...

Mora Piya - Episode 5
I thought I had seen it all last week – and after the peak the story has hit, there wouldn’t be much to watch. In fact, I had even passed off this week’s episode as a filler. I was in for a surprise – again! I was hooked, literally, to this episode from the start to the finish....

Humsafar - Episode 12
Like Shopaholic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Dreamworld_of_a_Shopaholic), I also have a secret dreamworld. In this world, all directors and producers fast forward the negative scenes and concentrate on the positive. If I was in this dream world, Khirad’s misery would have been wrapped...

Sanjha Episode 7
Sanjha is written by Samira Fazal, has a star cast of Resham, Imran Aslam, Fahad Mustafa, Sabreen Baloch, Noman Aijaz and many many more. And yet, it’s not really given the credit that it deserves. Why? The main issue here would be the storyline – an innocent, naive, girl from the gaon is...
