Hashtag Review: Glam, Grit, and a Mystery That Falls Flat

Two influencers. One deadly party. Zero surprises. Geo TV’s four-part mini-series Hashtag had all the makings of a viral...

Shakoor's rise to anti-hero in Faraar

With an overabundance of characters with their own convoluted backstories Faraar has plenty of action. This week was led...

How Daayan Exposes the Power of Internalized Misogyny

I didn’t expect Daayan to be this gripping. On the surface, it’s just another family drama—wealthy feuding relatives, betrayals,...

Green TV: Do Kinaaray Is Peak Dysfunctional TV

Green TV’s Do Kinaaray is messy, regressive, and full of trauma dumps. So over the top it could be mistaken for satire, Do Kinaaray is everything that’s wrong with TV — a toxic mix of outdated gender roles, forced drama, and family guilt trips. Let’s get into it. Portraits, Parent

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 Geo TV

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...

Tanhaiyan Nayee Silsilay Final Episode

“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 Appa Hum TV

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...

ARY Daag

Daagh Episode 14

This was a mellower episode in terms of story but none the less well-crafted and intensely moving. Umaima leaves the house without a sound, taking her girls to visit their grandfather. I have often written that Mr Haseeb may well be the worst father in the world but today I had to agree with Umama’s...

Hum TV Zindagi Gulzar Hai

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...

Geo TV Mirat-Ul-Aroos

Mirat Ul Aroos Episodes 3&4

I am not sure why this serial is being shown in double episodes but it works for me. I might have given up after episode 3 which had more than the usual dose of lectures but since the disappointment was not allowed to fester for a week and a shiny new episode was available I jumped right in. These...

Geo TV Saat Pardoon Mein

Saat Pardon Mein: A second look

This should have been the simple story of an overprotected girl who has an innocent crush on some actor whom she runs away to meet . In the rest of the known world this would have been a romantic comedy in which the young lady in question learns a valuable lesson about reality versus fantasy and goes...

Aik Nayee Cinderella – Episode 12

Well, well! What an interesting turn of events this week! Infuriating as Surraya aunty might be, methinks she has probably done Meesha and Rooman both a huge favour by blackmailing the latter into sticking around instead of packing and leaving… With this episode of Aik Nayee Cinderella, one thing...
