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...

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

In the world of social psychology, there is a concept known as the “threshold of tolerance.” It’s the invisible line that...

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

Khushbu Ka Ghar - Lessons for Parents

I must admit I don’t always have patience for Pakistani soaps OR Rukhsana Nigar’s black-and-white characterization (read, Lamha Lamha Zindagi / Meray Charagar). However, I have been really, really touched by Khushbu Ka Ghar mainly because the story is very different. Also, as I am a parent...

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...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - Episode 11

Another week; another cool episode. For the most part today, I felt sorry for Daneez (Aisha Khan). She is trying so hard to be nice and to rectify her faults. But apparently, everyone is only raising their eyebrows – of course, this is a natural reaction. If the bully of the school suddenly starts...

TVKahani Phuss Awards - Review

I read the list and almost fell out of my chair laughing. I just HAVE to review the Phuss Awards given by TVKahani. (Note: I don’t always agree with their ratings and reviews.) OK, here goes the list of those for whom the website says, “the bubble burst”: Phuss Actor Sami Khan for making...

Sanjha - Review

I will be blunt here: I didn’t like the theme of Sanjha from what I saw in the promos and read online. I immediately placed it in the category of Khamoshiyan and Manay Na Yeh Dil (first part) and decided I would not watch it – purely because it made me feel kind of sick. In fact, I remember...

OLD Drama Reviews

Back in Time - The Castle Aik Umeed

Back in the good old days of PTV, I was a HUGE fan of Zulfikar Sheikh and his dramas shot in Scotland. It used to be a big deal back then for a drama to be shot outside Pakistan. I remember so well us giggly girlies in the van discussing how Haseena Moin actually went to Scotland (gasp!), stayed there...

Analyzing Humsafar - is Ashar's characterization spot on or over-exaggerated?

Before reading about Ashar (Fawwad Khan) in Humsafar, consider the following characters and situations. In “Kaisa Hai Yeh Jahan”, a soap aired on ARY a few years ago, the character of Humayun Saeed is made to believe by his mothers and sisters that his wife (played by Sadia Imam) is having...

Lux Style Awards 2011 - Review of Winners in Drama Categories

As per the request of one of our readers, here is a brief review of this year’s Lux Style Awards – categories of dramas. First of all, I must strongly protest at the wardrobes of almost all the female attendees. There is something called grace and elegance, which was totally missing from...

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....

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - Episode 10

We are halfway through the drama already and much to my delight, today’s episode brought back much of the comic relief that was missing in the previous episode. Fawwad Khan and Sanam Baloch totally stole the show today. I have said this before but will reiterate that Fawwad Khan should be given...
