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

Shuk Episide 5 Review
Shak continues to engage with its well balanced, fast paced narrative. This episode  introduces Zara, ‘Sham’s sister with a presumably special needs child, precipitating Ammi’s exit, a runway Rumi and insights into Ali’s character. I really appreciate the fact that this drama touches, however fleetingly...

HUMSAFAR WATCH PARTY : Episode3
This had to be one of the most emotional episodes in the serial with a whirlwind of events packed into it , yet the pacing  was so  even that despite the air of urgency created, it did not look forced. Again it was Khirad I felt the most for, not only is she losing her mother but  facing marriage to...

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...

Numm Episode 12 review : A tale of two Grandsons
  “Aurton ko samajney ki ghalat fehmi mein mat rehna” –Don’t fall into the delusion or trap of trying to understand women “, Barrey Saheb‘s advice to Wali. I couldn’t quit catch the other sage judgment Barrey Saheb passed in Womankind  other than there are two types of women ,one category being...

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....
