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

Goya Episode 7 Review

From last week’s light heartedness to this week’s emotional wallop, Goya keeps mixing it up and that is a smart way to keep your audience hooked. Omar and Mohini are racing to their nikaah but not before some more partying and setting the stage for this motley crew to get together again. It was good...

Jackson Heights - Episode 15

With 9 episodes left Jackson Heights has finally picked up the pace to piece the puzzle together. Vasay Chaudhery and Mehreen Jabbar had the very difficult task of telling multiple stories that are intertwined with each other. These (very different) stories and the characters had to work together at...

Sadqay Tumharey- Episode 12 Review

Jisko beti kehrahi ho, kya wohh sach mein beti hai tumari??? How many times has this thought crossed our mind? Rasheeda is behaving like anything but a mother. Granted, she is still fuming mad over the past and although we were shown a glimpse of it today, there are still a few missing pieces of the...

Jackson Heights - Episode 14

With 10 episodes to go, Jackson Heights is finally picking up the pace again. Salma over hears Sikander talk about the jewelry (with Kash?) and realizes how naive she has been, even after 12 years of being married to the con artist known as Sikander. She did learn a thing or two from him though…getting...

ARY Goya

Goya Episode 6 Review

First things first, the most important lesson from this week’s episode : If there is a Conga line, you have to join. After all, who doesn’t want to join a Conga line? Though Ms. Uptight my-morals-are-in-a-twist Mohini might not want to. I get her middle class morality and indignation at Omar being in...

Hum TV Sadkey Tumharey

Sadqay Tumharey- Episode 11 Review

Jo tu Khalu se maang raha hai, wohh cheez tujhe Rabb se miljayegi. Love has the power to change people. Khalil is struggling with his volatile temper because he cannot make sense of Khala’s blatant rejection. I liked how he turned to namaaz to find some form of inner peace after that not-so-pleasant...

Jackson Heights - Episode 13

Why are the men in this serial (with the exception of Rizwan) so full of themselves? You have Bhatti, who cares more about how ‘koi izzat nahi rahi meri us bachi ke saamne’ more than the fact Izzi didn’t come home the night before and her mother couldn’t care less. You have Jamshed,...

ARY Goya

Goya Episode 5 Review

You have to hand it to Team Goya for moving things along at a steady pace without sacrificing character development and thankfully, a sense of humour. Omar Hashmi is slowly standing up to his father’s diktats even though those around him warn him of the portending storm. Acchi tarah sooch lijiye they...

Jackson Heights Urdu1

Jackson Heights - Episode 12

Can someone please explain to me what happened to Jackson Heights? I don’t get it…I don’t get how a serial with a cast as powerful as this one, a writer like Vasay Chaudhery, and a director like Mehreen Jabbar can confuse me so much. The initial 5-6 episodes were fantastic, absolutely...

Sadqay Tumharey:Episode 9 Review

I almost did not write a review of sadqay Tumharey this week, simply because we are at episode and the story seems to be at a standstill. Much as I adore watching Mahira Khan (Shanno) and apney Khalil Badshah interacting on screen after nine episodes I would like to see something...
