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

Izteraab Episode 5 & 6
Dua is trying hard to settle in her new life, become Zara and her husband Jazaib’s children’s friend if not a mother but failing miserably at it. I don’t want to blame her wholly because Sofiya’s equally at fault, she is making things difficult for her parents, for her stepmother Zara and more importantly...

Adhura Milan Episode 1
Mohabbat aur waqt. Love and time. Amour et le temps. When I first saw the promos for Adhura Milan, I couldn’t help but be taken by the aesthetically pleasing production values (for the most part!), the stellar cast of older actors (Hello, Samina Peerzada!), the hauntingly beautiful piece of music...

Mere Humdum Mere Dost- Episode 4 Review
Slow and steady wins the race. That’s what I’m going with. The story keeps moving forward slowly albeit steadily and even though not much transpired today, it was still engaging nonetheless. I cannot deny the very obvious old man charm that’s dripping off Haider Masood. Add to that...

Muhabbat Subh ka Sitara Hai– Episode 22
‘Tis the season for silver linings. First here and now right here. Last week saw a rather grumpy Zeeshan resisting every kind word or gesture from Romaisa but this week given his family’s apathy to his condition and little more than a formal hazzri he realizes his position in their hierarchy of work,...

Pehchan Episode 4
At last, the silver lining in this dark cloud – humour in just the right doses. I love how each episode is the un- layering of another character. This one belonged to Qazi Wajid sahib. He is indeed the silver lining tinkling away with his fauji good humour. It also helps that these are great lines —Sasural...

Koi Nahi Apna - Episode 5
So logged into facebook prior to writing this and saw a status update on my newsfeed stating “teri do takkia de nukari mera lahkoon ka sawan jaey,“ (I honestly have no clue if that is a song, a saying, or what), but it does pretty much sum up today’s episode of  ‘Koi Nahi Apna.’...

Pyarey Afzal- Episode 23 Review
As exasperating as it was to wait a whole week for tonight’s episode, I’m relieved to report that there were no casualties! With two shots fired at point-blank range, I’ll attribute the sloppy shooting skills of our hit-man to a lack of cadet training- or divine intervention if you...

Bunty I Love You Episode 18
Khuda aapnay gunagaroon ko maaf kar daita hai lekin mohabbat apnay gunaygaroon ko kabhi maaf nahi karti. I knew last week was a one off episode that came together so perfectly that I had an inkling it won’t be too long till the train derailed from its tracks again. Okay, okay maybe I’m jumping...

Marasim :episode 6 review
  There are a lot of powerful women in Marasim and but none of them are caricatures, each has limitations as well as deep internal imperatives. Gaythi Ara may well be motivated by the psychological damage of her past but she loves her son enough to feel his pain and accept that he has indeed paid...

Bashar Momin Episode 8
Jab bhi bolta hai zeher hi ugalta hai.  Right on point, Rudaba, right on point! Those of you familiar with the mechanics of our dramas whether filmi or not will concur with me when I say “Uff teri ada“! Bashar sahab I like the way you move, I like to see you move, and uff teri nazar it says...
