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

Goya Episode 13 Review
        “Sab kuch loota kay hosh main aaey tho kiya keeya “Is the song playing in my head. Being a self-avowed philistine I can never remember the right sort of poetry for such occasions but a childhood spent being force fed black and white Bollywood movies means I have a song for...

Sadqay Tumharey- Episode 18 Review
Disney had us believe that in the fight between good and evil, good always prevails. But this isn’t Disney and things are a far cry in real/ reel life. Jo apni beti ka khoon pi jaye, uski koi izzat nahin hoti! The mukhbari ensured that Thekedaar Amin and Thanedaar Sahab raided Bi Ji’s home...

Zid Episode 7 review
Chalo jee Kuri  nikal gai hath say…. Mazhab badal lay… Goray naal Via karay gi.. Kafir day naal :) So I was a bit disappointed with Zid in Epsiode 7,  I had heard good things about bee gul however she is just following the regular clichéd story line.

"Doosri Biwi" Is Not Like The Other Doosri Biwi Plays!
No, I am not a supporter of the doosri biwi plays. I have shared my dislike regarding the latest obsession with doosri biwi stories on different forums and wasn’t expecting anything different from the play “Doosri Biwi” either. The promos were sickening, the play could have been promoted...

Goya Episode 12 Review
        This week’s episode was a lot slower and more than a little uneven. Last week Mohini was given an ultimatum by Rahat Hashmi to Leave Omar forever or he would not pay for his medical treatment. Mohini’s mother Asma tries to sell their apartment and Nomi borrows money to help...

Jackson Heights - Episode 20
Not that this will do anything, but I apologize to Vasay and Mehreen now for what I’m about to write about episode 20 cause you aren’t going to like anything in this review. So I think the few people who read what I write know that I live in the USA and have for pretty much my entire life....

Sadqay Tumharey- Episode 17 Review
Har kaam mauqay pe ho toh acha lagta hai… Was this the mauqa Rasheeda was waiting for all along? She was sure Shano would run away- she knew exactly how this would play out. It’s almost as if she masterminded the entire thing. Chal ab tu bhi ja, tera kaam khatam hogaya hai… What good...

Jackson Heights - Episode 19
Jackson Heights is being wrapped up and I must say I’m a bit sad. Even with the few episodes that were slow, dramas like this and Goya are a rarity between the crying and mazloom women, evil step mothers/in laws, sacrificial lambs, sisters, and now the newest trend, doosri biwi(s). Vasay and Mehreen...

Goya Episode 11 Review
      First of all apologies for a late review, I was busy baking Birthday cakes and saving the Universe from imminent doom so I didn’t get to watch Goya till late Sunday let alone write anything up. Probably very few people in Pakistan even noticed as the power grids were offline but...
