Dr Bahu: A Perfect Life of Polite Patriarchy

I expected Mehreen Jabbar’s Dr Bahu to examine the marriage market demand for a daughter-in-law who is a medical doctor, but I had no idea the drama would also become an inside look at the insidious way coercive control operates within seemingly “modern” households. Through Dr Sania’s eyes, we see

Uff Yeh Mohabbat : Episode 1 review
I was looking forward to this drama for some time first because I am a fan of Faiza Iftikhar’s writing and secondly I love Mehar Bano since I reviewed Daagh, however I had two reservations: Amin Iqbal the director and Gohar Mumtaz the male lead. Happily (SO FAR) it looks good. Gohar looks great in this...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode 15
  The problem with Humsafar is an excess of riches .. Almost every time I watch an episode I want to say: “this was One of the best episodes” or exclaim over how compelling the narrative was or how intense the emotional interactions between the characters were without sounding like a broken record. ...

Pyarey Afzal: episode 12 review
When a drama makes you smile from start to finish of an episode, you can’t help but appreciate the creators for a job well done. Pyare Afzal has been a treat to watch. It falls perfectly in the romantic comedy genre and the best part is how everything is contained without going over-the-top. The...

Kabhi Kabhi Episode 22
  I have absolutely no idea as to why the serial’s being dragged? I had high hopes and expectations from Samira Fazal but the last 2-3 episodes have been very disappointing.  I mean by now Ishal and Araiz should have sorted their differences and reconciled for their son’s sake. On the other hand,...

Bunty I Love You Episode 7
I confess, this episode was so much better than I expected it to be! No sooner had I gotten into the swing of things, HUM TV decided to slap me with next week’s promo. Oh well! Toota hua dil ho, as the OST takes centre stage, Lady D and her boy, B, are having their first lovers tiff. When I first...

Shuk Episode 18 Review
  Oh. My. God. I’m still reeling from shock! There can be only one rational explanation to this – Quickly someone alert the X files folks – Samira Fazal has been abducted by aliens and her body and mind been taken over by a parasitical life form that is making her write such absolute tripe!...

Muhabbat Subh ka Sitara Hai– Episode 10
    For all you prize winners from last time, don’t fear, it’s more of the same. Again. Romaisa in an attempt to be part of the family and make herself useful is left with the short end of the stick or more like handling intercom and chai duties in good bahu fashion which leaves the other bahu...

Bunty I Love You Episode 6
Lady D is a (wo)man on a mission! Question is what exactly is that mission. As the waters get murkier and secrets start to emerge we see a ripple effect, too bad it isn’t the Butterfly Effect. This week we continue on the Dania-Bunty-Mehvish arc (and something tells me we’ll be seeing a lot...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode 13 and 14
In light of last week’s radio show on “Heroines” in Pakistani Dramas, this review will be solely devoted to the women of Humsafar. Yes, yes, I’m sure much can be said about the men (actually much has been said!) but I’m going to continue with the theme and explore some interesting issues that I felt...

Shuk Episode 17 Review
  Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Fallen right into the trap of contrived situations and conventional tropes. Sigh, and things were going so well! While last week we saw the final chapter in Ali and Sania’s relationship, this week sees the growing chasm between ‘Sham and Seherish. Seherish walks...
