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.

Koi Nahi Apna - Episodes 3 and 4

Episodes 3 and 4 of Koi Nahi Apna were exactly the way every one thought they would be. Hamza and Alvira get married against her parents’ wishes, they cut her off financially and she goes to her in laws without any jahez. Obviously the lack of any jahez totally pissed off Hamza’s mum as had...

Pyarey Afzal- Episode 22 Review

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. BANG. BANG. Today’s episode made me squeal with excitement and then took my breath away. The pace was perfect- there was so much that transpired and the story is finally moving along. The past few weeks I’ve been complaining and I’m happy to note that there’s...

Shuk Finale Review

Finally! C’est fini! Fin. The End. Join me for a bloc party people where we can all commiserate and pass the bubbly (non-alcoholic naturally) and Panadol between ourselves. Clearly the only ones laughing their way to the bank are the pharmaceutical companies and possibly psychiatrists whose ads were...

OH MY ALLAH! I’ll be using this expression another time, rest assured, given what lies ahead. Soooooo… where do I start? Since last week was all about desi inspired dons (and no, I’m not done on that front!) this week we’ll talk about desi romeos. What’s a Desi Romeo, you...

Muhabbat Subh ka Sitara Hai– Episode 20

There is good news and bad news. First the good news: my pleas for a non-linear narrative were answered- elsewhere. Now the bad news, uff…where to begin? Is there anything other than bad news in this drama? Romaisa continues in woe begotten bechari mode of being the help – cooking, cleaning, making chai,...
