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

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...

Akbari Asghari - Episode 24

There is actually a reason I am still watching Akbari Asghari (inspite of all my criticism) and that is the excellent acting by the entire cast. It was, again, only the acting that compelled me to write a review of this week’s episode. Shabbo’s attempts at winning over Asghar, Batoolan’s...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar - Episodes 5 and 6

OK, call me a party pooper but I am really getting a little bugged by Hamsafar now. I mean, what IS going on? Why do we see more interaction between Sarah (Navin Waqar) and Ashar (Fawwad Khan) than we see between Khirad (Mahira Khan) and Ashar? Why are Khirad-Ashar scenes so short? Why does it seem that...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - 6th Episode

I am speechless. Today’s episode of Kuch Pyar Ka Pagal pan was amazing, to say the least. My niece and I were at the edge of the sofa, rolling over with laughter most of the time. Fawwad Khan MUST receive an award for his spectacular performance throughout this episode. He was the un-suspicious...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan - 5th Episode

I do NOT believe this. I thought I was being a little far-fetched and over-imaginative when I had thought that Mujtaba (Fawwad Khan) had gotten the first glimpse of Kiran’s (Sanam Baloch) family when he had went room-hunting. When the fifth episode started, I almost fell over. Wow. So this is Kiran’s...

Hum TV Humsafar

Humsafar - Episodes 3 and 4

I must admit I have been really lazy about reviewing Humsafar; the main reason I feel is the yet-to-come appearance of certain characters who were right there in the beginning of the novel. Yep! It is always a drawback to have read the novel because you end up comparing and contrasting more than needed. However,...

ARY Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyaar ka Pagalpan Episode 4

So we’re at episode four of this much awaited drama, and I have to say that I’m rather disappointed. I found today’s episode to be a bit slow and boring, even though we now have all four of the main characters on screen. While the first episode was just amazing, the tumult seems to...

ARY Neeyat

Neeyat - Episode 15

OK, let me say this outright: I am writing this review out of sheer frustration. Yes, I am totally, completely irritated with this drama serial and I have to let it out through this review. At the outset, this drama seemed to have the ‘winning formula for success’. With a team of Mehreen...
