The girl with charasmatic eyes Sanam Chaudhry and the heart throbbing hunk Noor Hassan are known to be good friends from a long time. Soon both will be seen on the big screen in an upcoming movie titled 100 crore, written by Babar Kashmiri and will be directed by Shoaib Khan.
The star cast which includes veterans Javed Sheikh and Ismail Tara with Sana Fakher, newcomer, Inayat Khan and Adnan Shah Tipu of Josh and Maalik.
Here are the pictures of both the lead characters who are shooting for film in Thailand.
Man can absorb a lot. A lot can be one heck of what one could visualize. Yet at times, it strikes your chord, as you admit, although inside, that the limit has been reached; now the question is: would you take more? When should you decide that this is it? This differs from person to person, with tempers, tolerance levels rather, ranging from high to low. And so, we come across a lot of people, around us, and on- screen who leave us scratching our heads, only a step from yelling : STOP!
In the latest lot, and what initiated me the idea of this topic is Haadi from Zara Yaad Kar. He has been cheated on, and that too quite openly, by Mahnoor, who had left no stones unturned in insulting him, yet despite having a well- wisher in Uzma, he finds himself in a dilemma, where he knows the truth, but isn’t far away from ignoring it. Call it unconditional love, but it shouldn’t cause one to become a fool of him/herself.
As the saying goes, love is blind, but not baseless. It is not just a matter of having an affair. Rewind a little, and we come across Taimoor, who in Ru Baru, despite having been married, has an affair with his university student. This is what ignites all the trouble. His wife falls into depression and suicides, while his son later suffers due to the chaos he experiences as a child.
Aasmano pe likha showed showed a lady as bechaari , indeed to extreme. Her husband never acknowledged her presence despite all the circumstances. He then even marries his ex- love, Natasha. There is then a turnaround of events until Aaliyan gets the word.
Yet before, we had encountered Sila in Dil-e-Muzter, who had later learned of her husband’s affair and then marriage in her absence to a close neighbour. After a lot of thinking, Sila somehow in the end, ends up forgiving Adeel and decides to go back.
In Paani Jaisa Pyaar, which aired in 2011, Sana quite easily, followed by a little insistence from Adarsh’s side agrees to return to his life after he had previously abused and disliked her.
The turns, that a few quick decisions we take, cause are unavoidable. It’s true man makes mistakes, so we surrender simultaneously, but there are factors such as self- respect that shouldn’t be left reeling. A number of dramas, like Manjali, Mera Naam Yousuf Hai, including some current ones show the face- off realistically, including Udaari, Dil Lagi, Besharam, and Kathputli.
Ohkay so, this episode was decent but it focused more on the side characters. I feel if the side characters get more coverage, then things become a lot more repetitive, which doesn’t do any good to the pace or the purpose of the drama.
Mehru has started taking care of Ahad’s father in such a way that she has compelled him to become more respectful towards her. Even though Ahad’s father does not admit it in front of Mehru or Ahad, in his heart he knows that Mehru is not only different to Mehwish, but she is far better than her as well. Despite getting married to Ahad in such dire situation, on the basis of humanity, Mehru has started respecting not only Ahad but his father too. However, it would have been better if they had shown that along with the change of heart, Ahad’s father had a change of attitude towards Mehru too because the way he speaks to her still feels that he is demeaning her, which isn’t a good thing to watch.
Zeenat & her concerns for her daughter have become totally repetitive. Yes, we get it, she regrets what she did with her daughter & there’s nothing more to it & there can’t be because what she speaks about every single time is the same thing over & over again. She is completely responsible for how Mehru’s life shaped up & she is also responsible for giving Ehtashaam the leeway & so much of an authority to rule over Mehru’s life. Now all she can do is cry because there’s nothing else that can be done & we won’t be sympathizing with her on her repetitive dialogues every time!
I find the problems between Saira & Ehtashaam a bit forced. Saira is such a person who believes in reasoning & that is why in the initial stages of her marriage we saw how she used to engage in a conversation with Ehtashaam leaving him speechless because she made sense & also because she had an idea of how she should be tackling her husband as she understood his nature, so to see Saira doing something despite knowing that her husband won’t approve of it wasn’t a wise choice. Yes, she wanted to go to her mother’s place which was her right, but then she could’ve done that after having a conversation with Ehtashaam because she knows how to convince him. I feel just because Umair has made an entry, things have to get rough between Ehtashaam & Saira so that Umair gets a fair bit of coverage too, even though he has nothing to do with what happened between both of them right now. Also, Saira’s character has made a shift, she is still the same with her mother in law, but she has suddenly changed her behavior with her husband, which definitely is unlike her & is making everything look a bit forced. Also, I don’t think after knowing her husband’s nature in & out & after being well aware of what he did to his own sister Mehru, Saira would be so careless or immature to get candid with Umair just like that!
Finally, Shiraz has made an entry again but this time with his wife Amna. Shiraz & Amna are Mehru & Ahad’s neighbors & I don’t know what sort of a neighbor Shiraz will be, but for now, Amna is quite a nosy neighbor who asks a bit too many questions & is taking a bit too much interest in Mehru’s life.
Mehru’s father in law passed out because of his BP issues & very conveniently Ahad blamed Mehru for it. I don’t think Ahad’s behavior with Mehru was justified that too after he knows how difficult & rude his father is. Ahad’s concerns before bringing his father to their home were genuine as it looked like he was well aware of how rigid his father can be & how he was capable of giving Mehru a hard time, so despite knowing everything, his cold attitude with Mehru was uncalled for. Also, I know Ahad’s father had a hard time because of Mehwish, but it’s no fun seeing him crying buckets over the same thing time & again because now everything related to him is taking a toll on Mehru & she doesn’t deserve that!
Overall, this episode was fairly decent but I feel the sudden shift in the characters has been made only to stretch things & we all know when things get stretched, dramas get dragged too. Even though I didn’t have much expectations from Gohar Mumtaz’s wife Anum considering it being her first project, but I most certainly didn’t expect her acting to be this bad. Her body language, her hunched shoulders & her stammering clearly showed her lack of confidence as an actor & for that reason, I believe the director could’ve easily chosen someone else for this job. I think the drama is at such a stage where things will become quite slow & repetitive & every single episode won’t be giving us much to talk about, therefore I have decided that I will review Kathputli fortnightly, at least that way we will have enough content to discuss for sure. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Kathpulti.
Ohkay so, this episode of Thora Sa Aasman was quite good & interesting to watch. I must say, the pace of the drama is working for me the most because just when we were getting a little bored with the coverage of one track, they introduced in a lot of new faces & the scenario of the story changed completely. I am definitely looking forward to all the tracks & their stories that have yet to unravel.
So, Baqir Sherazi sent a proposal for Haroon Kamal through Sabiha, where he suggested Haroon to divorce Shahista otherwise Baqir will make sure that Haroon faces a loss in his business. As hideous as the idea sounded, what I liked the most about the entire situation was that it made the ruthless & emotionally absent Haroon Kamal vulnerable for a moment. Haroon’s arrogance & social standing actually made him believe that he had control over everything & that everything will always fall in its place for him every single time but it was good to see that a man, far more powerful than him made Haroon reflect on himself & reminded him of the fact that he was no different to any other regular human being & he was just as weak as anyone can be.
It was for the first time that we saw the reality of a liberal Haroon Kamal who, by the circumstances, was forced to doubt his wife & her loyalty towards him. Haroon actually posed to be quite a broad minded person who didn’t mind seeing his wife being friends with men who had more power & who could help him in his business in any way possible, but when things got out of control, he conveniently blamed Shahista for giving an edge to Baqir due to which he believed that he could get her in a barter bargain. This was also a slap on Haroon Kamal’s face & was something that bruised his ego because Baqir in just a second made him realize about the sort of a person Haroon was & how Baqir saw him as just an opportunist who could be lured easily using money as a bait. Haroon never really imagined that people could see him as such a weak person having no substance at all.
Another face that we saw of Haroon Kamal was a depiction of his double standards. Shahista is expecting their baby & just because the time span & timeline of their relation could raise questions against the baby, Haroon didn’t mind telling her straight away that she had to put an end to this ray of hope in her life. This was something that took Shahista in her past where it looked like Haroon has taken away her baby from her previously too. Sadly, Shahista fell into this trap of love with a wrong person because he is the one who demands & Shahista is the one who has to compromise every single time. Haroon is quite a superficial person who believes in fake standards because at one hand, he can not see people questioning his sister & her family, but on the other, he doesn’t mind having an affair with Zarka, getting married to her stealthily & then also doesn’t mind depriving his wife of all those rights that she is entitled to. Also, the way Shahista & Haroon opted for court marriage highlights his double standards a bit more where he conveniently fooled someone’s daughter & forced her to take such a step that only became an embarrassment for her parents & that is why her parents have till date not forgiven her for what she did!
Well, Baqir Shirazi along with Sabiha Judoon died in a car accident & I am kind of relieved that we’re past this triangle that wasn’t sparking much interest, but I am interested to see what life has in store for Shahista & Haroon!!!
Well, we got introduced to the families of two brothers Mansoor & Masood. Masood’s (Anwar Iqbal) family consists of his wife & his two sons Talha (Umair Laghari) & Osama & Mansoor’s (Babar Ali) family consists of his wife Muneeza (Lubna Aslam), his daughters & son; Ambar (Sahar Afzal), Safiya (Aleezay Tahir) & Roshaan. Ambar & Talha, Safiya & Osama are engaged to be married. In this episode we got introduced to their characters in a very appropriate manner & I am definitely looking forward to their stories.
Ambar is a daddy’s girl & in the very first encounter she can come across as someone who is a spoiled child who believes in having everything her way but as you get to know her, she also has kindness in her heart that her mother most certainly doesn’t approve of & this is something that doesn’t make her character black & white, it’s like she has different shades, some of which can be appreciated & some of them can make her look a little unreasonable. It looks like Ambar is her father’s favorite, that is why she makes the most of his kindness & for that reason, Mansoor can never deny any of her demands. Ambar has not only been spoiled by her father, but even her fiancé Talha believes in doing everything that she says. Talha loves & respects her a lot & they both believe that the factor of trust is what has kept their relationship strong over the years.
Mansoor’s wife Muneeza is enjoying her luxurious life & she doesn’t realize that all the comforts that she has can make people around her a little envious of her lifestyle. Muneeza also doesn’t mind flaunting how her husband Mansoor has given her the control over the household & she makes the most of it. Muneeza seems just as spoiled as Ambar & she doesn’t look like someone who believes in making compromises, that is why just when Ambar & Talha had a tiff, Muneeza held Talha responsible for spoiling Ambar’s mood in stead of making her daughter understand that she shouldn’t be so rigid. The second daughter of the family; Safiya in comparison to Ambar seems a lot more mature & understanding. It looks like Osama likes Safiya a lot too & being her fiance, wants to spend time with her but Safiya doesn’t take advantage of the liberty her parents have given to their children because she is far more rooted & simple.
Masood’s wife & Talha’s mother finds it a little odd how much freedom her daughter-in-law to-be has & how Ambar has her son wrapped around her finger. She also feels the envy when it comes to the life Muneeza is living as she finds her husband far more accommodating & understanding in comparison to her husband Masood. It seems that Muneeza or Mansoor & Masood have an elder sister & she is also quite interested in Ambar & Safiya & for the obvious reasons because she knows that Ambar comes from a very sound background & she tells Muneeza that at least she should have accepted her son’s proposal for one of her daughters. Apa also has a daughter who she seems a little worried about too as she wants her to get married in to a family that has a financial stability.
It looks like Haroon Kamal has started exploring more business options & he is doing collaborations with well-established companies & for that reason, Mansoor believes that he should propose a venture deal to Haroon Kamal because he know that the association of his name with their family business will not only bring a lot of advantages but will help them in raising their graph too. Things are definitely going to get more interesting & I can’t wait to see more.
Overall, this episode was quite interesting & I hope that the pace of the drama stays the same. I am glad that this story has a lot of characters & a lot of tracks that is why things don’t become slow at all because there’s so much to explore that the change in the scene brings a change of track & perspective with it. I will say that the director has handled the script quite well & all the actors are doing a fairly decent job but I do find their timing a little off which makes the flow of the scene a little choppy, it looks like that the actors don’t have that understanding & because of that we see some awkward pauses in between their conversations. Anyways, as far as the story is concerned, I feel that a little tweaking has been done but for that reason, I find this drama a lot more engaging because these changes not only come as a surprise but leave you guessing about the scenarios at times too, which is a bonus. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Thora Sa Aasman.
The drama is back on track with Zebu playing a bigger role in the picture. So far we watched Zebu play a victim and not a survivor but in this episode she chose to do what needed to be done in order to put the person who violated her behind bars. This is the first time that we are watching such a case go to trial in a drama and in the end the rapist will get the punishment he deserves through proper channel. We have seen dramas in which rapists are shot in the end or they lose their senses but we have never seen a rapist go to trial. Although the past few episodes were somewhat disappointing because Zebu’s character had been relegated to the background but they laid the foundation for everything we saw in tonight’s episode. These latest developments will shock Imtiaz because all of this was not part of his grand plan! This episode opened with Arsh distancing himself from Meeran emotionally. He is still as dedicated to this case as he was before but after Meeran’s response to his proposal in the previous episode he is no longer willing to be “just friends” with Meeran either. Arsh’s reaction was realistic but it is still difficult to digest the fact that in all these years both of these individuals have not moved on. Meeran finally tells Arsh the truth and that is when he makes a very important decision – Zebu is the only one who should decide whether she should come out with the truth or not. This was the decision which brought Zebu back in the picture. Zebu is desperate to get her mother out of jail therefore she is willing to take this difficult step. This episode also focused on the prerequisites for taking such a case to the court. These discussions were loud and clear which was a bold yet an important step to raise awareness about the issue. The scenes in the court showed how easy it was for Imtiaz to win this case if Zebu did not decide to share the truth in the court. The viewers however were not shown why Sajida decided to plead not guilty because so far she had been saying that she would confess to the crime. Was it because of Imtiaz’s presence in the court? She did not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he had already won the case. All the details of the case are being covered in these last few episodes therefore the pace of the drama has slowed down considerably. This episode was educational and Zebu’s growth from a victim to a survivor was a positive development but it wasn’t very entertaining. The drama sends out a very important message therefore it is there to serve a bigger purpose. Farhan Saeed has proven himself as a versatile actor in this play and Ahsan Khan has won people over with his effortless portrayal of Imtiaz. Farhat Ishtiaq’s take on the story of a rape victim is definitely very different and better from many other dramas which we have seen recently that dealt with the same subject. The story was stretched in the previous few episodes therefore the drama isn’t as entertaining as it was before but no one can deny its educational value. The director Mohammad Ehteshamuddin has extracted the best performances from all the actors involved and this episode was filled with flawless performances mostly because Ins-e-Yazdan did not make an appearance. Hina Altaf’s acting was okay in tonight’s episode, she did whatever was expected from her but she doesn’t add that little something which could have made this role special. The preview of the next episode suggested that it is not going to be the final episode and the focus will be entirely on the hearings of Sajida’s case. Zebu’s presence in the court and her side of the story will change everything. Imtiaz will lose the edge he has right now and it is then that the judge who right now seems to be siding with him will change his approach. The real question is whether Sajida’s will change her approach too or not! How many of you watched this latest episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
The Momina Duraid directorial Debut “Bin Roye” film was about forgiveness, love, pain and hate. The film was released in 2015 and did fairly well. The Film had a very good cast Humayun Saeed, Mahira Khan and Armeena Khan. Now Bin Roye is coming back again on screens not in the form of a sequel but in the form of a television play.
Majority of the audience has this question in mind that once the movie has been released why it is being dramatized again. The answer to this question is that few people have read the novel by “Farah Ishtiaq”, few have watched the movie but a major portion of audience has not done both.
The next question in the mind of audience is that will this drama be worth watching and what will be the difference?
Well yes this play which is expected be of twenty episodes will definitely be worth watching.
1) Drama will provide answer to all the weak ends
For the people who have watched the movie and think there were loopholes in the movie. The play will put an end to those mysteries. Further Humayun Saeed in a statement shared that the drama will provide answers for the open ends that took place in the movie.
2) Drama is targeted for larger audience
As only 5% of the people have watched movie that is why the drama will cover a much larger audience. In this way it will touch many more souls.
3) Drama will take benefit of time.
In comparison to the movie the drama will have flexible time length. Due to more time on hand the characters like Saba, Irtiza and Saman will reveal themselves in a completely different light. In this manner the characters will have ample time to connect with audience and create a larger impact which the theatre version failed to do.
4) Drama will be infused with more chunks of entertainment
For the audience that watched a speedy fun filled wedding to emotional drama will now enjoy a detailed version of emotional scenes. The story telling will be in steady flow with an intense plot.
Another attraction is the Sadqay Tumharay’s hero Adnan Malik who will be playing a cameo role in the play.
5) Drama will be surely with an Improved PLOT
Mahira Khan in an interview shared that great improvement has been made to the Bin Roye. So it assure that team has gathered up and added all the spark to the drama which the movie was missing.
The Bin Roye team has really lifted our expectations. Let us experience the transformed Bin Roye dramatic version with its melodious sound track, engaging chemistry of the cast, stylish sartorial statements, and electrifying chemistry between all the characters!
We hope that Bin Roye’s Drama becomes worth remembering for years to come.
Breath-taking, heart grabbing, ravishing and what more should be said for Maya Ali?Maya Ali is looking stunning in the latest and exquisite unstitched collections Of Maria B. with the global leader of crystals. Mara is the first designer to launch a Swarovski embellished prêt and couture line.
Regarding the latest collection Maria B. said in a statement “We were the first ones to sign the branding program in 2014. It made us the pioneers to use the Swarovski seal internationally.”
“We are currently working on various collections which include unstitched, ready-to-wear (prêt) and couture. Earlier, we had incorporated their crystals in our embroidered chiffon and lawn collections. Our upcoming couture line will also be launched internationally.”
“It’s unprecedented that a luxury brand is going into mainstream retail in Pakistan,” she added.
The first collaborative shoot by the two partners features the brand ambassador, Maya Ali.
“We are the first ones to do an international co-branded shoot with Swarovski for our latest collection. We pooled in our various design resources for it,” said Maria
As not much time is left in the release date of the Film Janaan, the entire team is not only focusing but rather enjoying the promotion of the film to a great extent. Lately the Janaan team organized a cricket match where all the stars gathered up!
na larne ka saleeka na mohabbat ka tareeqa, ehmak kahin ke…This was a beautiful scene which started a new chapter in Anmol and Mohid’s life. The way this scene was shot was beyond remarkable. The fact that Anmol did not find Mohid standing right there when she runs out to tell him that she had fallen for him made this scene extra filmy and so much more impactful! This was another beautiful episode of Dil Lagi – one which all of us have been waiting for, for the longest time now!
Ama’s take on Anmol’s conditions made tons of sense but it delayed Mohid and Anmol’s happy ending therefore I could have easily fast forwarded that scene to find out what was going to happen next! But unfortunately the episode ended with ama announcing that they were going to take Anmol’s baraat that night. For a change the preview of the next episode was shown which proved to be a huge consolation! It suggested that we will get to see the scene we were all talking about last week in the upcoming episode…good things come to those who wait! All the servants were present there when ama asked Anmol to fulfill her condition, another detail which was quite interesting since the servants standing their and watching the ‘show’ was a big part of all the discussions the viewers here had after Mohid hit Anmol. Mehwish Hayat looked beautiful in tonight’s episode and her acting once again was impressive. Hamayun Saeed was equally remarkable in this episode just the way he has been in all the previous episodes.
na ishq ehtyat se hota hai aur na hi ishq mein ehteyat ki ja sakti hai….Imran Ashraf and Hamayun Saeed’s chemistry and their relationship with each other in this play has always been the highlight of this show. It isn’t very often that we see men sharing this kind of a bond in dramas. Kafayat Ali’s track for now was the reason why Anmol was even more convinced than ever that she was absolutely wrong about Mohid. The scene in which Anmol asks Dastagir that she wants to meet Mohid right away was one of those light hearted scenes which always give you something to smile about no matter how tense things get in this drama.
tum jese ho buhat achay ho…..Mohid has finally succeeded in winning Anmol over and this time around there are no conditions attached to keep this relationship alive. Anmol also passed the final test put before her by ama. It was great watching Anmol surrender to Mohid’s love like this, it was worth the wait! Now the real question is whether this story will have a happy ending or not! It was also refreshing watching Sabiha take a stand for her brother and bhabi.
It is time to take some inspiration from Mohid’s character and show patience because all of us have to wait another two weeks to find out whether Anmol and Mohid’s love story will end happily or not! There were plenty of happy scenes in tonight’s episode and personally I enjoyed the filmy parts of this episode the most. Faiza Iftikhar’s dialogues and the situations she creates are always a treat to watch. Nadeem Baig is a skillful director who proved yet again today that a little creativity goes a long way!
How many of you watched this latest episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
Momal Sheikh’s debut film “Happy Bhaag Jaye gi” has been banned in Pakistan because like many other Indian films it also has some scenes which show negative image of Pakistan. Unlike many other Bollywood films which managed to get a certificate from the censor board, this one failed to get a go pass even after the director of the film wrote an open letter to the censor board and Pakistanis in which apart from many other things he also said,
“The first ever film content that showed people on both sides of this seventy-year-old border as simple human beings with affection, honesty, love and their small shortcomings was found OFFENSIVE by you! Wow!”
What exactly were these scenes which did not allow the censor board to give it a pass. Here are the reasons:
The film has scenes in which a Pakistani policeman gets slapped.
One of the characters stands in front of Quaid-e-Azam’s portrait and says, “ Or Kitnay Jhoot Bulwaogay”.
There is also a scene in which a Pakistani policeman salutes Gandhi’s picture on an Indian currency note.
Pakistani girls shown drinking alcohol.
The film also has dialogues which insult Pakistan. These dialogues are mentioned below:
“Kash Gandhi Pakistan mein hote.”
“Tension Pakistan ko honi chahyeh.”
“Bewaqoofu ki basti.”
“Kya dais hai jahan koi baat hi nahi karta, bandooq dikhaye beghair.”
“India ka namak pura Pakistan khata hai.”
Momal Sheikh is being severely criticized for being part of a film that shows Pakistan in a bad light.
On 25th of August , UberGo which is a famous brand for car renting services started its operations in Karachi. For further marketing the brand Uber engaged the famous Mahira Khan. Mahira is making big everywhere whether its Indian films, awards, Pakistani films and Magazine shoots.
For UberGo Mahira said ” I have been using Uber around the world and I can’t believe that it’s in my city now. Safe, affordable and easy to use I say this from first-hand experience. Uber is uber-cool!”
Here are few pictures of Mahira Khan who is looking really cool in the white top, ripped jeans and black boots.
In Lahore Uber has taken the glamorous model Mehreen Syed , here is the video.
The new upcoming drama serial Sanam on Hum Tv has released its trailer. The drama is directed by Haseeb Hassan and produced by Momina Duraid. Apart from Oman Khalid and Maya Ali, the drama also features Hareem Farooq .
As it is all known that Saba Qamar is doing a bollywood film with Irfan Khan. The film is titled as “Hindi Medium”.
The film is directed by Saket Chaudhary’s and it is a joint-production of Dinesh Vijan and Bhushan Kumar. The story is a romantic comedy in which the couple from Chandni Chowk wants to be a part of Delhi creme.
The film has started its shooting and we got some pictures for you through Sabar Qamar’s Instagram account.
Be Aib reminds me of sitting through Sesame Street- the characters are exaggerated to the point it feels like a children’s show. Those who are good are very very good and those who are bad are horrid. Aisha’s envy ended up consuming Tooba and Taimoor’s happiness after all. Just as the wedding preps were underway, Taimoor had a terrible accident and ended up with multiple fractures and a potentially life long disability. It didn’t help that the doctor portrayed a very grim outlook almost forcing his patient to accept that he will be living a life of dependency…
As expected, Sadaf was more concerned about having to postpone the wedding than Taimoor’s accident. Tooba has been by his side comforting him but there’s only so much she can do with Sadaf huffing and puffing like the big, bad wolf. Samina Peerzada is getting on every last nerve with her character- those eye rolls and hand gestures are extremely irritating. And whoever is responsible for her styling seems to have gone a little carried away with the colour palette. Plus, what’s up with Alishba’s eye liner? My OCD is seriously driving me up the wall every time I see her uneven eye liner.
So Ahmed landed in the UK with borrowed money for his ticket but managed to secure a fine home for himself and seems to have a steady flow of cash in the blink of an eye… Since he’s supposedly in Landhan, I wonder if he’s being funded by MQM’s Bhai…
Aisha and Safi’s squabble over the money was so pointless. I wonder why their story is getting unnecessary screen time? We’ve already established that a) they’re poor b) they argue day in and out c) Aisha is a thankless woman who continues blaming her husband for his lack of resources d) Inaya pines for Taimoor e) Aisha still holds a beacon for Inaya to end up with Taimoor…
The ghareeb rishteydaar felt obligated to do their bit by offering Inaya to help her Phuppo Shahana look after Taimoor. The poor girl lacks self esteem as it is, subjecting her to see her beloved up close must be disturbing. I would like to think there’s more to this story and with that hope, I continue tuning in. Sadly, nothing seems attractive enough to justify watching 40 odd minutes every week. Even the OST isn’t appealing and that’s usually one sure reason for me.
Urdu 1 needs some good shows that will make them compete with the big 3. Thus far, besides Mere Humdum Mere Dost, nothing has caught my interest. In contrast, A Plus seems to have upped their game which is a refreshing change.
There was no other reason due to which Atif Aslam refused to perform in the concert in India other than non- payment of dues.
The organisers of concert were unable to transfer the money in the scheduled time and to this Atif Aslam backed off. Atif was not at in a mood to compromise his respect and rules of his work. The Indian organisers should have treated the star in a more appropriate and serious manner.
Atif Aslam was to perform in Leisure valley Gurgaon on this weekend, but now all his fans are too disappointed due to the entire scenario.
Atif Aslam made this news of his refusal public on his official Facebook page. The post also requested Aslam’s fans to be cautious before buying tickets: “We request fans not to buy the tickets for the concert and beware of the concerts from this company in future.”
Well Atif you did quite a right thing, that’s what you call professionalism! It will surely teach Indians the lesson to respect our stars and treat them in a more sound and professional manner.
As it is already known that Fawad is working in Karan Johar’s next film Ae Dil hai Mushkil. But not much was said about his character. Finally Karan Johar has shared the details that Fawad Khan is playing a very Special role in the film, as he will be making a special appearance in the movie.
In a statement Karan said “I’ve to say that I was most excited working with Fawad, who has a very special role. It’s a special appearance in ADHM.”
“But it’s a very strong role, a very pivotal role. And his energy is very indispensable to the film.”
“I am so glad that he agreed very graciously to be a part of the film. In fact it was wonderful of him to say yes because it was a special appearance. But truly when I say, you have to take the essence of the word, it was ‘special’.”
“It’s very important for his character to connect or to be a part of the journey of this for you to kind of understand the emotional existence of the film,” he added.
Fawad Khan and Anushka Sharma will be playing the roles of Karachiites in ADHM.
We wish Best of luck to Fawad for his Special role in the special film.
Some of the Pakistani celebrities who are even very popular nowadays started their careers more than a decade ago. Many of these celebrities were just as loved at that time as they are now. During all these years, they have gone through many transformations. Some of them have refused to age and others just get more graceful and stylish with time. Bushra Ansari is one of those celebrities who has been attached to the showbiz industry for the longest time. Shan Shahid is also one of those celebrities who have dedicated their life to serving the entertainment industry of Pakistan.
We have compiled pictures from past and present to show to our visitors how these celebrities have groomed themselves over the years. Some of these transformations are miraculous.
Ohkay so, this week’s episodes of Deewana failed to keep my interest alive because everything that happened seemed quite repetitive. It seems that the story is on the loop & there’s not even an inch of a progress that is being made. I really think that they should move the story forward if they are still not in a mood to wrap the drama up. At least some progress will let the viewers enjoy the drama without looking forward to the ending already.
I really think the story loses the grip & the drama loses its charm when the side characters come to the foreground & the main characters are pushed to the background & this is exactly what has been happening in Deewana from the last few weeks. For me, Shama & Subhan are the side characters too & now I am at such a point where I don’t feel much for them because the both spread so much of negativity & give such negative vibes that I don’t relate to their suffering anymore. Yes, at times Shama’s rants can be understood but Subhan has become a burden to watch. Subhan’s heart attack was another negative thing that happened but it looked like Mehru didn’t feel much about it because she was engrossed in her own thoughts too.
I liked that Mehru took a stand for herself once again & told her mother that if she wanted Mehru to forget Falak, then she will have to give up on the thought of seeing Mehru & Haris together too. I like Mehru for the fact that she has been through a lot & after that, she has not only snatched a glimmer of hope for herself, but she has also made her mind clear about the things, people & relationships that she wants in her life, which is why she has firmly told her mother that she can kiss the idea of seeing Mehru & Haris together good bye.
I don’t really understand what does Shama want now? She is not allowing Falak & Mehru to be together & even after Mehru has clearly told her how she will never accept Haris back in her life, she is still bent on making things right between them, but she is not budging, in a sense that she doesn’t plan to be on talking terms with Amtul, then how is she going to fix everything? It’s like Shama doesn’t want Mehru to move on in her life & she still wants Mehru to suffer as much as she can because she fell for a loser like Haris.
I did enjoy watching Gaiti & Shabnam’s scenes a lot but I feel they are getting way more coverage than required. Falak has point blank refused to associate with Gaiti & now it looks like she is planning on taking a revenge from Mehru by trying to be friends with her so that she can get all her secrets & then use them against her. Shabnam on the other hand is a bit too focused on getting Gaiti & Haris married, so much so that she can’t see what sort of a person Amtul is & what sort of a loser Haris is. I thought that Haris had pretty much made up his mind that he will now make Amtul suffer & he will mooch money off her as he knows that she is blinded by her urge of revenge, so why was he seen all confused by the end of the episode? When he has made up his mind then he should stick to the plan & do what he deems right.
Falak has taken the back seat & there isn’t much happening related to him. I think it’s about time that his reality should be exposed on everyone around so that we get to see what Mehru’s reaction & decision would be.
Overall, these two episodes seemed a bit haphazard & didn’t take the story forward at all. I am actually getting tired of Shama’s repetitive rants & the coverage that Shabnam & Gaiti are getting because it has nothing to do with the main story & they are just the fillers who are being used to drag the drama. I think it’s high time that the director should start wrapping this drama up in the next couple of weeks as we’ve pretty much seen it all & the story is stuck & hasn’t given us what we wanted to see. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Deewana.
yeh khawabnagar ik dhoka hai…yeh husn yeh shuhrat yeh daulat sub aik hawa ka jhonka hai!!
Even after so many weeks Mein Sitara continues to enthrall its viewers with stellar performances, a very well written script and brilliant direction. The pace of the drama has slowed down but Sitara’s story is still just as gripping as it was in the very first episode. The reason for this is that showing all these details will ultimately help the audience relate to the changes in the Sitara’s personality once she transforms completely. Sitara compromised on a lot of things in these two episodes. All the rules she had in place for herself went out of the window a long time back but when she decided to go to that trip with Feroze Sheikh that was the biggest compromise she made only because she thought it will eventually get her a role in Khawaja’s film. It is ironic that Sitara never made so many compromises when Farhad fell in love with her, had she done that she wouldn’t be in the situation she is in right now! Only to escape a situation like this she refused Farhad Sethi’s proposal and it ended up being her biggest mistake which ruined everyone’s life. Sitara never wanted these ”shortcuts’, she didn’t want to give men such favors to get work and she always had faith in her talent but with the reputation she has in the industry now she has very little choice.
Even though Sitara was betrayed and used in the worst way possible by Khawaja, the truth is that he is still not as bad as her parents who use her and don’t even give her a place to live unless she pays for it! They do not even own her! Sitara’s mother is willing to own her husband who is a drug addict and cannot fulfill his duties, she also owns her son who stole from her and ran away but she is not willing to own Sitara – a daughter she never looked after, loved or cared for and one who has always been there for her family. Sitara was always an outcast, that was something which was made clear right from the beginning but now that she is in a position to bring her family money they don’t even want her around unless she pays for their businesses and marriages! Sitara’s family and all those people who refused to acknowledge her talent eventually made her realize that she was better off with Khawaja.
What I love about Sitara’s journey so far is that she is not doing all this to earn money but what she really wants is a chance to prove her talent. She wants to see her dream coming true and at this point she does not care what price she has to pay for it. Although Sitara is trading herself like a commodity but her dreams haven’t yet died down completely. Even after everything that happened, she was still willing to show her talent to those producers and was convinced that she could get work on the basis of her talent. Sitara has changed a lot but she is still not as fake or clever as people like Khawaja and Naseem Dil Ruba. The preview of the next episode suggested that Sitara will learn the tricks of the trade soon. Sitara’s journey has been translated on screen impeccably; I feel for her every step of the way and I also feel that this might just be the story of many women out there who go through this and much more to make their dreams come true in the world of showbiz.
Although both these episodes were filled with scenes which blew me away but my favorite scene from episode 21 was the one in which Sitara asks Khawaja for money so that her brother could start a business. This scene said so much about Sitara, who she had become, the things she had to do to win her family’s approval (although she did not need it) and how Khawaja always made sure she knew what a big favor he was doing for her. Right after that he asked her to travel with Feroze Sheikh. My favorite scene from tonight’s episode was the one in which Sitara goes to the studio to find work and she comes to know about the function. The OST in the background was remarkable! Also, Sitara’s conversation with her father in which he tells her he is old and a druggie and might die any day was beautifully written – this man always has something to say in his defense and does not feel anything for his daughter.
Mein Sitara continues to be one of those rare plays in which all the actors give flawless performances whether their roles are big or small, they manage to leave their mark. Saba Qamar however manages to steal the show every single time. It is however sad to see someone as talented as Nauman Ijaz being typecast over and over again. It would be nice to see him play a role in which his character is shown respecting women for a change. He is playing a very similar role in drama serial Mann Pyasa. In fact he has been playing such roles for the longest time now. Nauman Ijaz is a brilliant performer and he never falters, I am a huge fan and would like to see him play a different role.
Both these episodes were extremely poignant. Even after 22 weeks Mein Sitara manages to hold your interest and gives you something to look forward to. Every episode is full of deep and meaningful conversations and performances which are spell-binding. I don’t mind the slow pace because I don’t want Sitara’s journey to end just yet!

Defeat is a strange feeling- Tahira became increasingly aggressive realizing she was defeated by the power of love and Meher Nigar compromised on her life-long beliefs and bowed down to the Murshid for the sake of her son. I had sensed early on that Bibi Sahiba enjoyed playing games with Habibullah but we have yet to discover the extent to which she can manipulate situations to her advantage. While joyfully rejoicing about uniting Bilal and Kulsoom, Bibi Sahiba had something else in her mind all along. Does Kulsoom bear a striking resemblance to the woman Habibullah sacrificed? Bibi Sahiba once almost owned up to having feelings but quickly dismissed them as emotional sentiments. On the surface, Bibi Sahiba plays the devoted wife but behind closed doors, she is clearly the dominant one in the relationship.
Tahira’s hatred for Meher Nigar is so intense that she laid down some very questionable conditions for Kulchu’s marriage. Tahira has no choice but to accept this proposal yet she wants to ensure that Bilal remains submissive towards Murshid Sayeein because in her eyes, that gives her a sense of false control. She knows how Meher Nigar has rejected these peers all her life and to see Meher Nigar losing her son to one is the ultimate slap on her face. Yet, isn’t it ironic that Tahira is burning up on the inside while Meher Nigar has accepted her fate.
Billu and Kulchu have been extremely convincing as two determined souls who are ready to beat the odds. I found Billu’s “ghuss ke phat jaoun ga” comment too kitch for my liking but nevertheless it did result in a chuckle. The last few minutes of the drama convinced me that it’s time to bid adieu to Billu as his fate is sealed now that Habibullah has laid eyes on Kulchu. Was this Bibi Sahiba’s plan all along? Out of all her mureeds why did she take such interest in Kulchu? Why did she constantly mock Habibullah for his unfulfilled desires and mention Kulchu with such passion? Why did she put forth her request for Kulchu to present her kalaam?
I really liked the actress playing Nimmo and I like her character too- she may come across as immature but I feel she’s actually quite clever- she knew Kulchu’s mom was prepping her to lie in front of Bibi Sahiba and she also caught Peer Habibullah falling into a trance while hearing Kulchu recite the kalaam. Knowing how easy it is to manipulate their mureeds, it won’t take much of an effort to convince Kulchu’s family that the groom is being replaced. That too when the prospective groom happens to be someone they worship. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Dumpukht is turning out to be my weekly fix and I’m loving every bit of it. The acting has been spot on and every scene transitions smoothly into the next. Are you liking this as much as I am?
Thoughts/ comments/ emotional outbursts?
I started watching this drama with very few expectations and the primary reason for tuning into SDBN was Ahsan Khan since he has truly impressed me with his acting in drama serial Udaari. I must say though that even with these expectations tonight’s episode was a complete let down especially in terms of acting. Tonight’s episodes was filled with emotional scenes yet they failed to leave an impact because those actors who seemed fine in a normal setting could not live up to the demands of these scenes. Even with a very gifted director leading this team, tonight’s episode was filled with mediocre performances and instances which weren’t easy to connect to.
Shehla decided to go to Tahira’s house to talk to her – a development which had innumerable coincidences to its credit. The guards in both the houses failed to do their duty. Shehla managed to slip out of her house and slipped into Tahira’s house without being spotted. After that everything that Shehla did was a desperate act to ensure that this marriage should not take place and it was only because of her visit to Tahira’s house that this issue was brought before the jirga. The girl who was introduced to us in the first two episodes was very different from the girl who was shown tonight. Shehla was always very conscious about what was expected from her but after learning that she was adopted and she could never marry Haider she did something which was completely against her nature – I get that – but Shehla’s attitude when she went to meet Tahira was strange. Shehla was extremely confident and very sure that this was the right move. (elcpinellas.org) The jirga scene later on went to show that this was actually a very serious matter. If Shehla was really raised by these parents in that house then she should have been well acquainted with the consequences of her actions therefore it makes you wonder why she didn’t just pick up the phone to talk to Tahira!! This development in the story which was the determining factor in this track was covered unconvincingly. The actress playing Tahira was expressionless throughout and her monotone dialogue delivery made it impossible for me to feel anything for her. Naveen Waqar’s acting was ‘confusing’!
The opposite personalities of Shah Sahab and his wife were highlighted once again tonight. Bibi Jaan always appeared to be the more practical one but in this episode the constant remarks about Shehla’s background made it look like she had something against Shehla and she did not love her like her own daughter. Her conversation with Shah Sahab also hinted that she did not want to bring Shehla home but was talked into doing so by Shah Sahab. Shehla’s father’s reaction on the other hand was too cool. He was worried and he understood why Shehla would do something like this but even then he didn’t look shocked enough when the maid announced that Shehla was missing. Shah Sahab’s character is easy to understand but his initial reaction was impossible to relate to.
There was only one scene of Mansoor in tonight’s episode and that scene lacked creativity too. Last time around too Mansoor’s mother was seen warning the maid about his habits when she was using his perfume and this time around too Mansoor walked in when she was doing just that. Apparently Mansoor is ziddi ghussay wala – no surprises there! Bibi Jaan thinks if Shehla gets married she will move on and her husband-to-be’s mother thinks that once he gets married, he will learn to share and won’t get upset so easily. This particular episode went completely against the rule of ‘show, don’t tell’. Mansoor’s ‘bad habits’ (personality flaws?) are being highlighted in the wrong way, if his actions alone were used to send the message across it would have been far better than using both actions and telling the viewers what these flaws were.
The shadi ki tiyaria at Tahira’s house were completely out of place because until now no one even told Haider about the engagement but apparently Tahira not only knows but the shadi is expected sometime soon! Wasn’t Haider planning to go abroad for studying and Shah Sahab said he didn’t think this was the appropriate time to talk to him about the engagement? He only found out about the engagement because of the recent developments in Shah Sahab’s house. Tahira also remembered the times when she visited them which went to show that these people were in touch all these years howcome they are blaming Haider now because they should know that he didn’t know about the engagement – yes I am very confused!!
The last scene of this episode was the only powerful scene in this episode; it portrayed perfectly what kind of a situation Haider was facing, it left him with very little choice. It was good to see the leads pleading their cases and not giving up. It was also refreshing watching a father like Shah Sahab taking a stand for something which would normally be against his principles because he loves both Haider and Shehla but the scene at the mazar in the preview of the next episode had done-to-death written all over it. This is mostly because of bad timing because very recently we saw Mohid and Anmol’s visit to the mazar.
Ahsan Khan was the only actor in this episode who performed brilliantly other than that, the acting by all the other actors was Over The Top, below average or confusing! The developments in Haider and Tahira’s track in particular were very confusing – in fact they made very little sense!
How many of you watched tonight’s episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
The Pakistani Censor board has pushed the director of the film “Happy Bhag Jaiyegi” to write an open letter.
Aziz shared that when he visited Pakistan he found it a wonderful place.
In the letter, Aziz said “I realised that this “perception” of lawlessness and lack of freedom of choice is untrue. Pakistan actually is a land of limitless potential and bright, eager minds. It left me pleasantly surprised.”
“In fact it seemed like I came back from a visit to the neighbours, just as neighbours should be!”
Due to his positive views about the country he is very much disappointed with the ban on the movie. He really wants substantial reason behind the ban by censor broad of Pakistan.
Aziz also said, “The first ever film content that showed people on both sides of this seventy-year-old border as simple human beings with affection, honesty, love and their small shortcomings was found OFFENSIVE by you! Wow!”
“I dare you to show Happy Bhag Jayegi to one common Pakistani. One who loves his family, strives for his daily bread, loves his cricket, loves his films and lives his life under the nonsensical garb that you force down his throat. Let that common smile-deprived Pakistani who is tired of being viewed as the only stranger in the world that has largely become one big melting pot today, come and tell you that he finds Happy Bhag Jayegi offensive, and I promise you that my apology note to you will be even longer than this letter.”
Lets see how much impact will this letter make on the censor board of Pakistan.
The third episode of Coke Studio 9 will be released on 26th of August. The previous two episodes were much appreciated by the music lovers. Zeb Bangash and Umair Jaswal were my favorites from the first episode. The third episode will be featuring Mehwish Hayat and Shiraz Uppal, Abida Parveen, Faakhir Mehmood and Zeb Bangash and Ahmed Jahanzeb with Umair Jaswal.
Here is the promo.
Do let us know what do you think about the interesting combination of singers in episode 3?
We were not expecting Mahira Khan in a Pakistani film that soon. The film Actor in Law will now also be starring “Mahira Khan” in a cameo role.
The news surfaced when the director of the film Nabeel Qureshi shared the information on Instagram.
Nabeel nor Mahira are not sharing any information regarding the description of the character she will be playing in the film.
The producers of Actor In Law, Fizza Ali Meerza has said that film will be having numerous guest appearances. Lets see who else will be in the movie to entertain us!
Ohkay so, this episode of Dhaani was interesting too. I liked how they gave us an insight into Sameer’s life & his personality. Also, all the situations added more fun in this episode & everything is making this drama a good watch.
Sameer has started showing more interest in Dhaani, more than he imagined because he never really thought that he will meet a girl like her at such a random place & will develop a liking for her. Sameer has pretty much stopped doing what he used to because his focus has shifted to something & someone more meaningful in his life, therefore Dhaani’s the only one he is thinking about now. Sameer knows that he & Dhaani are poles apart in terms of family backgrounds, in mentality, in lifestyles but he still feels everything else is meaningless because Dhaani is not meant to live a life that she’s living currently.
I liked the conversation Sameer & Tanveer’s wife had, because if there’s someone who can relate to Sameer’s feelings & understand what he is going through, it is Tanveer’s wife because even she has been through the same phase in her life where she had to get married to someone only because her parents saw this marriage as a business deal. Sameer’s Bhabhi knows that Sameer’s & Maya’s marriage is another business deal that their parents have finalized & are now expecting both of them to follow through & may be that’s why, Sameer’s bhabhi tried to show him the brighter side of the picture that despite being business deals, such marriages can work. Maya might be happy with how her father is doing everything to make sure she gets married to Sameer because she herself likes him a lot but for Sameer, it is just a compromise that he’ll have to do as he is not into Maya & his attitude with her clearly tells the tale of his lack of interest in her!
Finally, Raja got busted for which he got a good dose from Kaleem & Bee Jee, but it was good to see that they both gave Raja a fair chance to explain himself & then understood his version of the truth too. Raja did pay attention to Dolly but he never promised that he’ll marry her. I felt bad for Dolly but more than that, I felt bad for her parents especially her father. I loved the way he brushed everything under the carpet & told Kaleem to go easy on Raja as he is a nice guy. Dolly’s father respects Kaleem a lot & that is why he didn’t want to cause any distress to him, for which he backtracked from everything silently as he understood that things weren’t meant to be. I love how they have shown a quotient of respect & mutual understanding between the people of interior Lahore, even though they all life their lives separately, they still are bound by the emotions of love & respect for each other.
Dhaani has also started thinking about Sameer, may be because he’s the first guy who has given her that sort of attention & that is why she is unable to resist his charm. I wish that Sameer changes himself for Dhaani, in stead of expecting her to change herself & go out of the way for him. I hope that Sameer will respect Dhaani’s personality & most importantly her rawness for which he fell for her in the first place. I hope that he won’t change her into someone she is not & expect her to abide by his conditions.
Riyasat, Tanveer & Rehan are doing everything to bring Maya & Sameer closer so that they find no window to escape each other. Riyasat is quite demanding despite being a daughter’s father may be because he knows that in business & social standing, he has an upper hand in comparison to Rehan, that is why he is expecting them to go by his orders & demands. Sameer has given enough signals to Maya that he is not into her & I hope that she understands that before things become ugly between them & between the two families. I am not sure if Sameer will be able to handle the pressures of both the families when he will finally come clean that Dhaani’s the reason why he is not getting married to Maya!
Overall, this episode was amazing with some fun moments. I loved the conversation Bee Jee, Dhaani & Shaani had where Bee Jee reminisced about her wedding day. This is what usually our elders do & this happens to be the best story time for the youngsters & that is why I related to that scene & enjoyed it the most. I am so glad that this drama has turned out to be so good & every episode brings joy with it. Please share your thougths about this episode of Dhaani.

Sajal Ali And Feroze Khan’s Inspirational Gesture
Sajal Ali and Feroze Khan started the promotions of their first Lollywood venture “Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai” with visiting a school for special children.

Mehwish Hayat’s Video And Post Thanking Her Fans And Followers
When celebrities reach a certain height sometimes they forget to pause and thank the people who are constantly showering them with their love and support.

This was another post which deserves to be in this list.
Aisha Khan’s “Not-So-Glamorous” Moment
After watching her play Jeena in Mann Mayal and many roles which are glamorous in some way, it was brand new to see Aisha Khan posting this picture from the sets of one of the plays she is busy shooting nowadays.

Please feel free to add to the list. Which instagram posts did you like the best in the past 7 days?
Ohkay so, this episode of App Ke Liye was good in bits & pieces, but I found it on the slower side because a lot of coverage was given to the side characters & their scenes seemed never ending. The only good thing about this drama is the lead pair & the chemistry that the couple shares but other than that, all the tracks & the characters are quite weak & don’t really succeed in grabbing my attention.
Washma was shocked at what Shaheer did, that is why she barged into his office & told him to rectify the situation, as she only asked for a favor from him & never really meant that she was serious about anything. Shaheer decided to convince Washma & all the things he said pretty much made sense that is why Washma not only calmed down but understood what he said & meant. Shaheer knows that Washma doesn’t believe in planning things beforehand & also she was at that stage in life where she had no idea what the future will hold for her, so he tried to make her realize that getting married to Shaheer was the best option because not only her brother was happy but also because she had a point to prove to her ex-fiancé Arsalan too.
Washma immediately understood everything that Shaheer said & just because she happens to be quite impulsive, she went ahead & decided to go ahead with this adventure too. Washma might not have any other reason to get married to Shaheer, but her brother’s happiness & approval was enough for her to accept Shaheer’s proposal because for Washma, Waheed’s happiness means everything & she wants him to live a peaceful life where his wife can’t use Washma as an excuse to pester him.
I loved the way Washma tackled Imdaad Hussain. It was actually quite amusing that Imdaad Hussain became Washma’s father in front of Shaheer whereas in privacy, he never left an opportunity to make advances at her. Imdaad Hussain had never imagined that Shaheer would choose Washma as his life partner & that is why, rather than being shocked himself, he decided to let his wife know that Shaheer’s wife Washma will give Nishat a run for her money. I still find Nishat OTT & felt that her scenes & conversations were not only unnecessary but were stretched & repetitive as well, so there was nothing new that she discussed.
I don’t really understand why Areesha was so mad at Shaheer’s decision of marriage? Shaheer has given her a nod of approval that he would definitely meet Omar, the guy she wants to get married to, so what’s the harm in waiting for a couple of weeks more? Just like Nishat, Areesha’s track is nor too impressive neither interesting & I feel the drama is quite in an early stage to be depending heavily on the fillers already.
Arsalan got way more coverage than required too but I hope this was the last time we saw him. Abeera’s forlorn face didn’t help the situation either. She herself went & challenged Shaheer so by now, she must’ve known him for a considerable amount of time to be aware of the fact that Shaheer won’t sit quietly & will make sure to take up the challenge that Abeera set for him. So, now when Shaheer informed her of what she was eagerly waiting for, then why was she so upset? I hope this was the last time we saw her too because it won’t be fun seeing her meddling in Shaheer & Washma’s marital life. The only character, apart from Shaheer & Washma that I enjoy watching the most is of Washma’s brother Waheed. His reactions are spot on & so is his acting. Waheed is a perfect example of how brothers should be, where they allow their sisters to breathe & take decisions regarding the most important aspects of their life.
Overall, this episode was alright but I feel the side characters are taking a lot of screen-time & unnecessarily at that, which is why it has made the pace a bit slow. I think Asad Siddique & Faryal Mehmood are the weakest in terms of acting & it is quite burdensome to watch them. Arij Fatima & Faysal Qureshi are doing their job really well & like I mentioned in the last week’s review, I will mention it again that it was quite tiresome to watch this episode as well because of the camera movements. I so wish they hadn’t done that because I seriously can’t imagine how will I follow the rest of the drama. Please share your thoughts about this episode of App Ke Liye!
