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

Pyarey Afzal: episode 1-2 review

I was not that interested in watching this drama for two reasons: Aiza Khan seemed to be wearing an entire bucket full of makeup in the promos alone and Hamza Ali Abbasi seems as if he should be riding a horse somewhere or wrestling cattle or some other terribly masculine activity. Still I found myself...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode 6

Somewhere during this hour of television, Fawad Afzal Khan became our Asher. What exact moment did that happen: perhaps it was the coffee shop scene where he forces a still slightly formal Khirad to eat ice cream with him, was it the chess scene where his mind is not on chess but his beautiful wife...

Kabhi Kabhi Episode 11

Soni! Soni! Soni! I wish I could jump inside the screen and smack her, this idiot woman annoys the hell out of me, just when I think Amma is warming up to Ishal, she has to poke her nose in between when we thinks things are improving. I was at loss of words regarding her approach toward the...

Shuk Episode 7 Review

Of tragedy and drifting apart. This was a pivotal episode where both couples have to face life altering realities. Sehrish and Sham’s heart wrenching loss is colored by feelings of accusation and guilt whereas Ali and Sania’s financial struggle is creating fissures in an already stressed...

Numm Episode 15 review : Storm in a teacup

A lot happened in this episode most of it was fairly predictable. The Wali / Qasim confrontation should have been the most powerful scene but it wasn’t. Fawad kept his end of the equation up magnificently listening and responding as Wali Bakht should, with anger, then shock, then horror at his own part...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode 5

This episode contained a lot of serious conversations which moved the narrative forward .Strangely enough despite the fair amount of melodrama in this story, there are no scenes of people staring moodily at the sky or opaque glances at each other in which it is anyone’s guess as to whether they are...

Numm-b Episode 14

After watching the episode 14 of Numm today! My mind went through some questions that I am still looking to answers for: – First of all why on the earth is Neelum still in the hospital? Do they also treat and give medications to viewers who are going numb by every passing minute...

Shuk Episode 6 Review

This weeks episode, a little slow by comparison, lays the foundation of future suspicions and portends the storms that will rip through this seemingly peaceful quartets lives. Starting with a genuine apology tendered by Ali, to a dinner meeting of the three couples, staring Sania’s jewellery...

Kabhi Kabhi Episode 10

This episode was rather interesting, thankfully Ishal is finally speaking up and playing the game as it is supposed to be played, I mean instead of being apologetic before her mother-in-law and sister-in-law she is dealing with them smartly, just the way I had wanted her, the scene where her...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode4

Sara seemed so sweet and simple in the opening scenes of this episode that I actually understood how she had been so close to Asher all these years. It was nice to see these old friends trying hard to maintain their life long bond of friendship despite the complication life had just thrown at them. I...
