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

“Dekha jo haath barhaake, sapno ki raishmi dhaage, toote mile, rishte toote mileraaton ko main na soya, sab kuch to maine khoya…”) Let me just start out by saying that seldom have lyrics of an OST been so aptly picturized in a drama serial…kudos to the person in charge of this....

Pyarey Afzal- Episode 32 Review

Jo rula sakta hai who impress bhi karsakta hai! Could there be a more precise description of our nishaaney-baaz Afzal? Farah uses the analogy of target killing to disclose the news of Afzal’s engagement to the chichori kal ki laundi Yasmeen since bohat sarey khwab margaye! Farah’s anxiety...

Mere Humdum Mere Dost- Episode 12 Review

So finally, my weekly rants are brought up in this episode and that helped elevate my viewing experience considerably. For a while I was beginning to think it was just me that was struggling with issues but thankfully that’s not the case. Haider’s stating of the obvious- Tum dhankey kapre...

A PLUS TV Pehchan

Pehchan Episode 12

Moving on is never easy. One fights to hold on, one fights to let go but looks like all the characters today were at a different place from where we left them last. Kuku throws Mansoor’s clothes and cufflinks in a box and shuts it with such finality that I can only hope she’s done with him. Mansoor ne...

Pyarey Afzal- Episode 31 Review

Round and round in circles we go, clutching at successes we never grasp, endlessly tripping over the same old failures. Truly, life is the misery we endure between disappointments… yet another episode that managed to throw me off track. Afzal’s promise (Zabaan deta houn- mangni karoun ga...

Marasim Episode 14

Earth to earth; ashes to ashes; dust to dust. In the eternal cycle of life we must always come full circle. Thus, I’m going to talk about this review in terms of words (obviously) but also in terms of a geometrical shape: the circle, and over the course of the next few paragraphs you will encounter...

Mere Humdum Mere Dost- Episode 11 Review

Take my hand, take my whole life too… Like it or not, this is exactly where we’re headed… Dosti zaroorat ke liye nahin ki jaati, bas hojati hai… Haider’s unflinching determination is laudable- he has taken it upon himself to empower Aiman because he sees potential in her....
