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. In Raqaas, Green TV’s latest exploration of honour, misogyny and domestic control, fear has become so thoroughly embedded in a family that

Aik Nayee Cinderella – Episode 14

I wrote in one of my previous reviews that Aik Nayee Cinderella defines “showing not telling” in a refreshing manner. The latest installment only augmented that view – instead of Granny sitting serenely on a sofa and narrating the goings-on in Meesha’s past to Bano (and Meher),...

Bari Appa Hum TV

Bari Apa - Episode 19

This latest episode focused on the aftermath of Adeel and Sharmeen’s informal engagement and there are a few things I am quite sure of by now. The first thing is that Zubeida definitely gives more respect to Ghazanfar’s opinion than Farman’s, she did not even bother asking her husband before saying yes...

Zindagi Gulzar Hai Episode 9 - The Clash

Kashaf nay Zaroon ko khari khari sunai.. The highlight of today’s episode had to be the much awaited library scene. In reality to be quiet honest I don’t know how things work in Pakistan but if a guy ever harasses a girl in a work place or place of academic institution, he is met with warnings and even...

Coke Kahani

Coke Kahani Episodes 10 and 11

‘Qabar mein seedha laitne ki practice ho rahi hai’ has got to be one of the best lines in this serial. Not just the words, but the manner and tone in which they were said was pure genius! Coke Kahani has to be the most refreshing (not to mention insanely hilarious) script on television right now. All...

The Dramas of 2012: An Overview

2007 (the revival of Pakistani drama) was one of the most happening and promising years for Pakistani dramas; However, 5 years later 2012 ended with a sad note (as most of Pakistani channels are now airing Turkish and Indian dramas). 2012 is being divided into three phases. Phase 1: This year started...

Aik Nayee Cinderella – Episode 13

One of the worst things about watching a drama serial after reading the entire story on paper is that you keep on comparing the drama with the novel – and then feel a tad bit annoyed that the well-rounded-off story seems to be taking one too many zig zags instead of focusing upon the main track...

“Jis tarha yeh suraj roz tulooh hota hai, is tarha sainkron kahaniyan roz janam leti hain; Shehron ki kahaniyan, logon ki kahaniyan, rishton ki kahaniyan, aur mohobbaton ki kahaniyan…mohobbaton ki kahaniyan jinhe hum chupa ke dil ke teh-khanon mein rakha karte hain. Jinhe, purane kaghazon ke saath,...

Bari Apa - Episode 18

I think the term Dil e Nadaan means my foolish heart or perhaps we could stretch it to, my innocent or even naïve heart. This may be Adeel, Sharmeen and Essa’s excuse since they are young and inexperienced, but echoing Fatima’s sentiments last week ; what excuse do the adults in this serial have...

Zindagi Gulzar Hai Episode 8 The Real FK Show!

The Drama Queen! Last week in the scene where Usama and Zaroon talk about Kashaf, my brother rolled his eyes at me while watching ZGH with me and said aloud “Man this guy is such a drama queen!” I love watching ZGH with my youngest brother because his side remarks about Zaroon’s idiosyncrasies are quiet...
