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

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....

Hum TV Maat

Maat - Episodes 10 and 11

OK, I will be straightforward here. I have absolutely NO idea how and why this drama serial is so popular. Maybe it is Umera Ahmed‘s name, maybe it is the star cast (Amina Shaikh, Saba Qamar, Asad, Adnan Siddiqui, Rabia Noureen)…I have no clue. Even after eleven episodes, the drama has gotten...

Akbari Asghari Hum TV

Akbari Asghari - LAST Episode

Finally! With(out) much ado, yet another drama serial concluded yesterday. Although in a nutshell, I am happy about the way Akbari Asghari ended, I am a little miffed that the drama ended just when it had actually gotten interesting. Yep, this was one of those dramas where the ‘story’ unfolds...

ARY

Phuppi ka Ladka ya Khala ka Ladka

It’s the latest buzz. This teleplay produced by Adeel Farhan is most likely amongst the most popular teleplays for this Eid. Hitting all cords, this teleplay scores a brilliant full score amongst most of its viewers. I often look at scripts and look for a moral to the story but this was pure entertainment,...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar - Episode 7

Ah, now this is what I call a romantic, light-hearted episode. Today’s episode of Humsafar was truly one during which one would smile at Ashar-Khirad scenes and smirk at Ashar-Sarah scenes; one would go ‘Awwww’ at the former and ‘serves her right’ at the latter. All my favourite...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - 7th episode

Oh gosh, what a depressing episode. Till last week, I was watching and appreciating this drama serial for its comic relief. This week, however, there seemed to be more ‘rona dhona’ than anything else. Even the Kiran-Mujtaba banters did not help. Daniez, it seems, finally realized the extent...
