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

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...

Bashar Momin Episode 7
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,...

Pehchan Episode 2
The best laid plans of mice and (wo)men often go astray. Even in death, a respite . No matter how beautifully composed, and elaborate Kuku’s preparations of her swan song, things tend not to go her way – not in love, life or even death. Saved by a delivery boy, who seems to have unfettered access to...

Pyarey Afzal- Episode 21 Review
Lubna’s confession has piqued Farah’s curiosity and has brought out the green-eyed monster. By now, we had established that Farah was almost on her way to the madhouse due to her unexplainable temper tantrums but it seems that she’s beyond help and needs some extreme measures- restraints...

Pehchan Episode 1
When the trio that worked on Talkhiyan, brings forth another project, you take notice. We gave a couple of nods to Bee Gul’s skillful adaptation of Arundhati Roy’s God of Small Things, Khalid Ahmed’s strong directorial control and Naveed Malik’s translation of that vision into stunning visuals was a...

Marasim :episodes1-4 review
It is very rare that I get to watch a serial as consistently good as Marasim. It is not Hatkey , it is not on a higher intellectual plane and quite frankly I am not a big fan of the cast but it is compelling viewing. This simple story is beautifully written by Zanjabeel Asim, expertly directed by Owais...

Bunty I Love You Episode 16
And we’re back to a (somewhat) exciting episode! I think the secret to a good episode is the inclusion of Patel and the exclusion of Babaji! Don’t you think? Yes, yes, I know there is much left to be desired but from what we’ve been fed so far this episode was welcome relief like an...
