Imtiaz has a TV show. Is It Good?

Green TV is airing a local version of Superstore sponsored by Imtiaz – is it any good? “Fasaana Mart Ka” is well-intentioned, occasionally touching but still fundamentally dull. The Ramazan comedy starts off bumpy and then steadily goes downhill. A strong cast of likeable characters does its best to keep

Snooze fest Karachi

Impressed by Sabiha Sumar’s earlier film Khamosh Pani with its strong script and poignant take on Pakistani politics, although admittedly sometime sketchy direction, I was intrigued enough to want to see Good Morning Karachi at the 3rdi film festival despite its rather predictable plot. Intrigued enough,...

Shuk Episode 4 Review

Of all the gaalis in all the world, she walks into mine. That’s probably what ‘Sham is thinking as Seher begins to get more involved in Sania’s life. Seher true to form marches back to Sania’s to apologize for ‘Sham’s interference and convinces her to take a breather and a midnight stroll. Sania and...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode2

It would be so easy to hate Sara: spluttering about ‘standards” in her precariously high heels as she watches the love of her life repeatedly assure her that he has about the same level of affection for her as he has for his friend Raza or say the office cat. However, I could never totally despise her....

Shuk Episode 2 and 3 Review

Shak-deceit that begets deceit and the layers of distrust go deep. So far the tightly scripted narrative is moving at a fast pace. Since this is a first look, a recap of the story and cast is in order. Shak introduces us to Sehrish/Seher (Aisha Khan) and Itesham/Sham (Adeel Hussain), a happily...

Numm Episode 11 review : Honeymoon

Numm has been improving over the last two episodes and I think there might yet be hope for it. In the beginning this serial was fascinating; a window into a different, insular world where the normal rules of human decency had been suspended. However for some time since Wali’s sensational apology to Neelam...

Kabhi Kabhi Episode 8

This was quite a boring episode except for the part that Ishal finally talked it out with Araiz or rather tried to about his mother and sister’s behaviour towards her and also how she deserves to be treated properly and deserves some respect. I am glad she did because this was very much needed....

Aunn Zara: Episode 19 Finale

…Finally Aunn grew up and Zara learned that if her relationship with Aunn isn’t right, nothing else will be either. Last week I was complaining about fillers etc, obviously Haissem et al had been saving the very best for last. This year Aunn Zara has been like an oasis in a desert of mediocrity: script,...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode1

Let me begin by saying this is not a review, most of us know the story and there have already been some simply fabulous reviews which I simply dare not compete with. These are just my thoughts, their purpose is to introduce the episode and facilitate the discussion. Having said that with Humsafar, any...
