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

Mann Mayal- Episode 13 Review

Holy Time Lapse, Batman, what do we do now? After yawning through the previous 12 episodes, the story jumped forward twice in this one. So a year passed and Mannu was expecting her first born. Mikael realized (thanks to his shady friend) that having children would ensure that his father’s wealth...

Udaari episode 2 Review

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour – William Blake I have heard you can see the whole world in a grain of sand, and that is how I felt after watching this week’s wonderful episode of Udaari. Meeran carries...

Bhai...Episode 13-15

This review is late, I am gonna try and catch up with the latest episode soon, if I miss something, please bear with me :) Ashraf has been the most difficult person to deal with since the first episode but it was after Hammad’s nikkah that we got to see a whole new sneaky, conniving side…Ashraf...

Dillagi Episode 6 Review

A round of applause please, for the amazing Anmol, who is living up to her name in every way. This week’s episode turned every one of the usual ghissey pittey dialogues and inane clichés we watch with numbing regularity on their heads. After dragging the Qazi to Mohid’s house and forcing a Nikkah on...

Mann Mayal- Episode12 Review

Who would’ve thought that Talat Hussain would make an exit just as briskly as he made an entry? I find it odd that an actor of his stature was given such a poor send-off. The episode barely made a mention of him- except for his will. Jamil is a changed man now- he’s had an awakening and he...

Hum TV Udaari

Udaari episode 1 Review

The first episode of Hum Tv’s new Sunday night offering Udaari reads like a brightly colored map of Pakistani society today. The divisions of class and wealth are amply illustrated but so are the small intersections, the blending and blurring of lines by everyday human interactions; lives running parallel,...

Mann Mayal- Episode 10 & 11 Review

With everything that we’ve seen so far, the lack of consistency in Mann Mayal happens to top my list of things that annoy me. I can’t understand if Mannu’s family is conservative or confused- and I can’t blame Mannu for feeling torn between these two extremes. These people declared...

Dillagi Episode 5 Review

What a surprising episode! I have called Anmol’s character ‘dabang’ and this episode is proof that Anmol is the new Salman Khan! Courageous, bold, decisive actions and nerves of steel are usually reserved for males in our culture. Seeing a woman do what Men are routinely applauded for was both exhilarating...

ARY Dillagi

Dillagi Episode 3 &4 Review

First of all, my apologies for both being out of the loop generally and missing last week’s review. I am still travelling but watching this week’s episode of Dillagi mad me feel bad enough for poor Mohid to open up the laptop and get typing. That’s right, I actually feel a little sorry for Mohid. The...

Gul-E-Rana...Last Episode

The last episode went onair tonight and as is becoming Hum TV’s bad habit, they dragged the story for as long as they possibly could, wasted screen time with repetitive scenes and then ended it abruptly. The end felt rushed, it was the last episode, they tried to show Adeel’s transition,...
