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 Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Bhi Tha

Kuch Pyar ka Pagal Pan bhi Tha First Look!

At first I thought I was the only lunatic drama freak around, who was actually watching the two promos of “Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan” over and over again – then I discovered that there are many like me, who are really, really happy at the thought of an upcoming romantic serial and are repeatedly...

Akbari Asghari Episode 16 Review

I was rather critical of Akbari Asghari in my previous review of the serial as a whole; of course, that was my opinion (and I stand by it) and the readers are most welcome to criticize and hold their own opinion. I do agree with most of the comments to my previous review, by the way. In any case, this...

Akbari Asghari Review

If I could use ONE word to describe this drama serial at the point when it went on air, it would be: anti-climax. Yes, the hype surrounding this serial was immense. Viewers in general were looking forward to the return of the on-screen duo, Fawad Khan and Sanam Baloch. After the ending of Dastaan,...

Hum TV Mera Naseeb

Mera Naseeb LAST EPISODE

And just like that, another excellent drama comes to an end. With a happy ending no less! It’s been a while since we’ve seen such an all-around amazing serial conclude with a happy end. The end of most dramas are usually some sort of bitter reality. Happy endings are usually considered fake or unrealistic....

Hum TV Mera Naseeb

Mera Naseeb Episode 18

I had expected this episode of Mera Naseeb to be sad. I, like, many other people had guessed that Fahad (Imran Aslam) would kill himself. But I don’t think that anyone had expected the depression they would feel after watching it all. Fahad’s decision: was it right or wrong? Obviously, it...

Hum TV Mera Naseeb

Mera Naseeb Episode 16

If I recall correctly, Shazia’s (Sanam Saeed) life was supposed to be in misery because of Nazia (Syra Yousuf), while Nazia was supposed to live a happy life. Then why is it that neither of their lives are going good? Shazia’s predicament is that her husband (Imran Abbas) is just downright...

Hum TV Mastana Mahi

Mastana Mahi Episode 8

I’ve had generally positive thoughts towards Mastana Mahi, but I have to say that this episode was incredibly slow. The direction byRoomi Insha during the story-telling scenes was just beautiful, and the transitions between the present and the flashbacks was great as well. But Aalin’s (Mehreen...

Hum TV Mastana Mahi

Mastana Mahi Episode 6

As I said before, I thought that Mastana Mahi had been going a bit too slow, and this episode was no exception. Way too slow. Sure, it was interesting. A drama written by Samira Fazal can’t be boring! But the way it was moving was a bit too slow for me. It seemed that for the most part, the episode...

ARY Neeyat

Neeyat Episode 2

It’s always the hardest to actually choose a word or a line to start. And that’s what’s happening with me right now. I don’t know from where to start. It’s been a while since I stopped writing regularly. So I am finding it difficult to be in complete flow. Is it natural? Who knows? Anyway so we are talking...

Hum TV Mera Naseeb

Mera Naseeb Episode 14

OK, so I know that I’ve said before that all of Nazia (Syra Yousuf) and her mother in-law’s (Bushra Ansari) scenes were too reminiscent of the typical saas-bahu story. But I’ll admit it, I was wrong! While I would usually be turned off by a story involving saas-bahu problems, I really...
