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

ARY Kaash Aisa ho

Kaash Aisa Ho Episode 15

I’ll start off today’s Episode review of Kash Aisa Ho by quoting some statistics for context. I read a story earlier this year that estimated between 15 percent of women and 20 percent of men are unfaithful. Women are less likely to get caught. Ninety-five percent of women and 83 percent of men...

Geo TV Teri Berukhi

Teri Beruki Ep 3

By Deepika A Sigh, jiss cheez ka intezaar tha, woh aakhir ho hi gayi, Numair divorced Aleena. The circumstance that led Numair to take such an extreme step could have been handled well in my opinion, but as it shown from the first episode that Aleena and Numair are two such individuals, who are not willing...

Dil-e-Muzter - Episode 11

This was a very interesting episode indeed and believe it or not one that I could relate to as well!! I had a nosy neighbor once who would drop in minutes before my husband came back home and won’t leave without having dinner, it used to be so annoying but I was too nice to tell her off directly to...

Hum TV Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Zindagi Gulzar Hai Episode 23- Sinusoidal Relationship

When I sat down to write about Zindagi Gulzar Hai today, I really thought that much like Kashaf and Zaroon’s relationship, my thoughts and reflections throughout the run of the show have been up and down or if one were to graph them, they would look like a sin curve. There are some high times when I...

ARY Silvatein

Silvatein Episode 13

For most of this episode I had to quite literally sit on my hands to prevent myself from throwing a brick at the Television screen. Villains in Pakistani dramas seem generally a little too cartoonish or far removed from the experience of daily life to take seriously but Natasha is pushing me to...

ARY Reema Ka Amreeka

Reema ka Amreeka Overview

Written by Amir Basharat Butt Reema is the icon of Pakistani film, fashion and television industry. Personally, I really admire her because the way she has grown from strength to strength is truly commendable.

Hum TV Rehaai

Rehaai -- Episodes 6 & 7

So we take a time leap in episode 6…it’s been at least 4-5 years since the last episode as Kulsoom now has 3 girls and oldest (Rabi) seems to be about 4. Vasim has been having an open affair with Noor Jahan (NJ) for all these years and NJ’s mother seems to be content, whereas I am thoroughly appalled...

ARY Kaash Aisa ho

Kaash Aisa Ho Episode 14

Sometimes -most of the time – life can seem a bit disappointing. Even the greatest lives are full of profound loss and heartbreak. It seems that pain is inevitable, and while we may say that we know good can come out of it, what hurts still hurts. In the process, one can quite easily lose...

Dil E Muzter Hum TV

Dil-e-Muzter - Episode 10

After watching today’s episode the first thought that came to my mind was that was it really this easy to create misunderstandings between two people? Don’t the couples in our TV dramas believe in talking to each other about things? How can Adeel believe everything that Zoya tells him? Not only...
