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

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...

Hum TV Humsafar

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...

Geo TV Mora Piya

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....

Hum TV Humsafar

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...

Hum TV Sanjha

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...

Back in Time - Mehendi (PTV) - Review

Today, when we see drama serials like the Barat series or Mora Piya (first few episodes) or even the upcoming Shadi Mubarak, how many of us remember the mega serial Mehendi (directed by Javed Fazil) that actually started this trend of wedding-focused dramas? Yep, it was indeed Mehendi, written by Seema...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar - Episode 11

And so it finally happened. Months of planning by Farida, Zarina, Khizar and Sarah bore fruit. Manipulations of conversations and incidents which had already started breeding suspicion in Ashar’s heart became firmly entrenched today. The final move played by Farida and Khizar started a chain reaction...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar Episode 10

So I was right about one thing. The romance that we’ve all been dying to see every week between Ashar (Fawad Khan) and Khirad (Mahira Khan) has offically come to an end. And things are just going to get worse from here on out. Ashar spent all episode ignoring Khirad, and annoying me to no end....
