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

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...

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...

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....

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...

Mora Piya - First Look
Since I have been generally harping about a lack of heart-melting love stories in Pakistani dramas in general, I thought of typing up my initial thoughts (read: frustrations) about Mora Piya, which will start from December the 2nd on Geo TV. Yes, I want to get this exasperation AND frustration out of...
