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...

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

Geo TV Mora Piya

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...

ARY Neeyat

Neeyat - LAST Episode

Call me naive, but I had actually hoped that the last episode of Neeyat would be more interesting than the whole drama itself. Oh, how disappointed I am feeling right now! The entire last episode was as boring and as long drawn out as the entire drama serial itself. In the end, the whole ‘drama’...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar Episode 9

Oh wow, we’re already at episode 9 of Humsafar. It seems like it just started, but that tends to happen with dramas that you can’t get enough of. I’ve been anxiously waiting for each new episode every week, and I haven’t been disappointed thus far. Episode 9 was no exception. At...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - Episode 9

Oh boy, what an interesting turn this drama has taken – methinks I actually preferred a fighting Kiran/Mujtaba rather than a sappy Kiran falling all over a strangely-naive Mujtaba. Overall, this episode again had very, very long scenes. In particular, the Shimraiz-Safina scene could have been effectively...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar - Episode 8

Humsafar’s story progressed quite a bit in the 8th episode as Baseerat Hussain passed away, the family went through a period of mourning, Khirad got admission to (what seems to be) Szabist for further studies, and Sarah’s cousin, Khizr, turned out to be a classmate of Khirad in university....

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyaar ka Pagalpan Episode 8

So we’re now on episode 8, and the story has finally started to progress. However, I’m still forwarding through all of the Daneez (Ayesha Khan) and/or Shimraiz (Mikaal Zulfiqar) scenes, simply because they’re boring and I don’t think that they contribute to the story very much....
