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.

The Mother: A devastating family drama about being unseen

There are no villains in Usama Khan’s “The Mother”, only a slow suffocating absence. Absence of attention, of purpose, of being seen. An ordinary seeming day in an ordinary family reveals the cracks beneath the surface. A woman waits, a husband comes, a son does not call, a daughter is ignored. In these...

Was 2025 the Year Pakistani Dramas Stopped Hating Women?

The most radical thing Pakistani dramas did in 2025 was stop blaming women. For decades, Pakistani dramas have relied on the familiar, lazy idea that “a woman is a woman’s worst enemy.” Stories were built around the “good woman” versus the “evil woman,” with validation ultimately hinging on male approval....

Kafeel: Judging Zeba Is Easy. Understanding Her Is Harder

You could easily hate Zeba for being this foolish in Kafeel. What kind of woman falls in love after a two-minute conversation? Who leaves a scandalous love note lying around?

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 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.

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.
