Armaan 2013-Telefilm Review

The problem with remakes is that they are never quite good enough . It’s like your mother’s cooking , she may have been the worst cook in the world but eating her food made you feel good . I deliberately avoided watching the original to see if this tele film could stand on its own , after...

Telefilm: Anjuman 2013 Review

The magic of cinema is making the audience empathise with the character, no matter how unique the circumstances.If you can reach this level, you have made a great movie.

Devar Bhabi - Review

I was expecting this telefilm to be very filmi because it has been written, directed and produced by Syed Noor. I have never watched a Pakistani commercial movie so I had no idea what kind of an actress Saima was but I assumed she would be great since she ruled over the industry for a very long time;...

London Paris Newyork Review

“In TERE BIN LADEN, Ali Zafar made the spectator break into guffaws and in his subsequent outing MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN, he made you grin and beam.
