Why is no one discussing Leader’s brutal take on revolution?

Winter Love: Hum TV’s K-Drama Inspired Romance Is Melting

Few Pakistani dramas arrive with as much romantic potential as Winter Love. Hum TV’s Mawra Hocane and Khushhal Khan-starrer combines an arsenal of beloved romantic tropes: enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance, forced proximity, and pretend marriage, as these two professions collide in increasingly awkward circumstances. Mushk (Mawra Hocane) inherits a matchmaking company

Bunty I Love You Episode 17

Khel maat khelo, Daina… Over the past seven (or so) weeks I’ve been going on and on about everything that’s wrong with Bunty I Love You but this episode has given me everything I wanted, needed, and asked for! Woh kya hai? Taharo batata hoon, itni bhi jaldi kya hai, abhi to mulaqat...

Marasim :episode 5 review

In one episode Gaythi Ara turns from victim to perpetrator. In Nayab she sees a reflection of her own deeply troubled past and just like her own much hated mother in law she sees an opportunity to exploit it. In South Asian culture a lot of value is attached to the first 18- 20 years a young...

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,...

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...
