Imtiaz has a TV show. Is It Good?

Green TV is airing a local version of Superstore sponsored by Imtiaz – is it any good? “Fasaana Mart Ka” is well-intentioned, occasionally touching but still fundamentally dull. The Ramazan comedy starts off bumpy and then steadily goes downhill. A strong cast of likeable characters does its best to keep

Beyond the Call: How to Kill Your Dreams
Beyond the Call is an anti-motivational tale about choosing a steady pay-check over passion. Teeli’s four-part corporate coming of age story reminds you that middle-class Pakistanis can’t afford dreams. In the first episode, Raeed (Hunaen Shahid) breaks the fourth wall to explain he’s joining...

Case No. 9 and the Muted Language of Rape
Case No. 9 forces viewers to confront an uncomfortable truth. Culture and crime are linked, and the way we talk about violence determines how we understand it.

Kamyar: The Pakistani F-Boy You Probably Blocked
Kamyar is the Pakistani f-boy every girl wishes she had never met. Spoiled, avoidant, and proudly commitment-phobic, he is Bilal Abbas Khan’s boldest departure from the lover-boy roles that made him a fan favorite. Kamyar is the man your friends warned you about. In ARY’s Meri Zindagi Hai Tu, Kamyar...

Begunaah is a propaganda film for Pakistan. The more interesting question is whether it’s a good one
Begunaah and the Politics for Narrative
Shamoon Abbasi’s bumpy political thriller, starring Faraz Farooqi as a duty-bound officer, arrives just months after the Pahalgam attacks and right in the middle of a national conversation about narrative control. Begunaah is unabashedly a propaganda film for Pakistan. The question is whether it’s a...

Kuttay (Rated 18+): Theatre That Bites Back
I thought of walking out of Kuttay: The Ones Who Don’t Bite at several points, a few people actually did. Not because the play was bad, but because it was so uncomfortable to watch. For those who stayed, it was worth it. Good art needs to shake us a little. Director Muhammad Ali uses absurdism and chaos...

Sharpasand: The Holy Hypocrite Next Door
Sharpasand revolves around Farasat Ali Khan (Nauman Ijaz), a man who has perfected the art of moral theatre. Polished, pious, and endlessly judgmental, he presents himself as beyond reproach — the very picture of decency. But behind this holy veneer lurks a predator who weaponizes faith and reputation...

Saba Qamar’s Pamaal Feels Like Pakistan’s It Ends With Us
Love Hurts: Pamaal and the Feminist Unlearning of Romance
We grow up surrounded by love stories that glorify all-consuming romance. They lead us to confuse control with care. Pamaal, Green TV’s new drama starring Saba Qamar (Case No 9), peels back these familiar narratives to question what truly defines love, and where passion ends and possession begins. Told...

Case No. 9 Shows the Cost of Not Believing Women
After a Lukewarm Start, Case No. 9 Steps Into Humanity, Fragility, and Conflict. For its first two episodes, Case No. 9 plays a bit like a public service announcement. The struggle to find female medico-legal officers is highlighted. Legal codes are cited. Important, yes. Compelling, not quite. The tone...

Is Lazawal Ishq Too Provocative For Pakistan?
There’s a pattern in Pakistani media that’s hard to miss. Whenever entertainment challenges social norms (especially around gender, romance, or personal agency) the response is immediate and moralistic. Outrage spreads, accusations of being “un-Islamic” or “Western” fly, and regulators or social media...
