Talking about the marriage, Muhammad Ali said, “I didn’t follow this matter but if it is sure that the girl is Muslim and the boy is Hindu, then it is not allowed as per Shariah and there are many reasons for that”. He further gave an example to elaborate his point. Muhammad Ali said, “even a company can’t run with the two “Sops” or two school of thoughts, otherwise it won’t work well but even if there is representation of two ideologies in an office, then people will quietly work
without discussing it with each other. So, if you love a person then you should try to convert him or her with love, because it will eventually go in his/her favour. It doesn’t mean a forceful conversion, do it with love. Also, it is not allowed, if it has already happened, may Allah guide them both in their lives” Watch the link:

One contestant among all those was Adnan Hussain also known as Addy who was largely chill during his stint and he used to sleep a lot.
Adnan Hussain was a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast and he opened up about people thinking he remains stoned all the time. He said that yes he has tried weed, cocaine and every other drug in the last 20 years but he does not take any. He tried them out of curiosity but he just cannot bring himself to buy a single line of powder for 10,000 rupees.
This is what he said:

He added that people are generally saying that music is haram but they listen to music themselves. All they do is not allow their kids to learn music.
This is what he said:
Amanat also shared that as learning music is not considered a good thing in Pakistan, the audience does not understand good music either. He said that many people may have heard that many of our big music stars are here on a fluke i.e. “tukka” and they do not really have the talent for it. He said that many of the talented people do not get recognition because others are occupying their seats and they get to occupy these seats because the audience does not understand good music.

Serial Killer is the newest addition to the latest trend in Pakistani television of showing crime stories. This genre brings a refreshing change to traditional Pakistani dramas, signaling a willingness among producers to explore new territories. While some of these recent crime series may not have met expectations, the overall experimentation in this realm is commendable. Serial Killer is a promising example, that each new series surpasses its predecessor in quality. While all the other crime series we have watched till now revolved around a single murder case, Serial Killer takes a distinctive approach by weaving a narrative around a serial killer. This shift significantly broadens the scope of the story, offering viewers a more expansive and intricate plot to unravel. Also, it is truly delightful witnessing female characters in Pakistani dramas challenging stereotypes. These characters offer a fresh identity to the skilled actresses embodying these roles.
Serial Killer transcends the conventional crime and investigation plotlines by placing a strong emphasis on the human element of the characters. This deliberate focus on character depth adds a unique dimension to the series, ensuring that it resonates with the viewers. Saba Qamar’s stellar performance stands out brilliantly in the series. Her apt portrayal of SP Sarah Sikandar, a committed police official grappling with a haunting past adds layers to her character and makes it easier for the viewers to relate to the human aspect of the character. Furthermore, it is also good to see Daniyal Raheel’s return to the screen, portraying a character that provides a welcome departure from the typical male leads seen in Pakistani dramas. Shahzain embodies all the fine qualities that viewers seek in a leading man.
Umera Ahmed’s script brilliantly captures the mystery aspect of this crime series. The narrative holds significant strengths, standing out from recent crime series by showcasing the writer’s imaginative prowess to the fullest, providing viewers with much to anticipate. What sets this drama apart is its ability to keep the audience guessing about the perpetrator. Also, the writer wisely avoids excessive reliance on dark details, maintaining a serious yet light-hearted tone throughout the series. The script adeptly sheds light on the casual attitude of the police officers, a recurring but unfortunate reality. In doing so, the writer exposes the flaws within the system that often enable perpetrators to escape justice. While similar portrayals have been seen in recent crime series and Jhok Sarkar, Umera Ahmed’s perspective stands out due to her nuanced approach. Unlike others, she delves into the small details, providing viewers with insights into where the system falters. The narrative not only paints the broader picture but also meticulously focuses on the intricate aspects of the issue.
The director Fahad Noor deserves credit as well, who carefully crafted each scene with precision, enhancing the overall viewing experience of the series. From the locations to the camera work, every aspect contributes to a superior feel in each scene. Except for the dim lighting in Sarah’s office and some other police station offices, everything else is executed flawlessly. There are moments when the subdued lighting raises questions about how Sarah manages to focus with such limited light. Because of this dim lighting throughout, a few of the scenes shot outside with proper daylight are a relief!
Saba Qamar is well-known for her exceptional body of work and yet again she delivers a standout performance in Serial Killer, arguably one of her finest. The project aligns perfectly with her acting prowess, showcasing her in a role that allows for significant character exploration. Saba Qamar effortlessly creates on-screen chemistry with her co-stars, breathing life into their characters as well. Her portrayal of Sarah Sikandar’s character is commendable. She has done justice to Sarah’s internal struggles and her pursuit of perfection to compensate for past losses. The beautiful depiction of her relationship with her nana adds another layer, making her character’s journey a captivating and enjoyable watch. One of my favorite parts of this track is Sarah’s profound connection with those she holds dear. These connections serve as a captivating focal point, adding depth and emotional resonance to the track. Daniyal Raheel and Saba Qamar’s on-screen chemistry makes their track the highlight of this track.
Ahmed Randhawa skillfully embodies his role as Inspector Sarfraz, elevating it to a significant supporting character that stands out. Another noteworthy supporting character is DSP Mehboob, portrayed exceptionally by Fahad Hashmi, showcasing his considerable talent. Also, it is a true delight to witness the talented Faiza Gillani receiving multiple opportunities to showcase her acting skills in various current dramas. In this particular series, she adeptly brings Barbara’s character to life on screen. Shahnawaz Zaidi is also the perfect choice for playing a role that is likable on so many levels. The actor playing Eman’s role deserves praise for his outstanding performance.
Serial Killer maintains impeccable sound quality, utilizes background scores effectively, delivers outstanding performances, and exhibits precise camerawork. However, there is a noticeable drawback when it comes to lighting, which occasionally becomes strenuous on the eyes. The story unfolds at a steady and measured pace, providing the storyline with a seamless and smooth flow. Also, the plot is rich in substance, and what stands out is the absence of any overt or forced attempts to captivate the viewers. The absence of desperate measures to grab attention speaks to the confidence in the narrative’s inherent strength, allowing it to unfold naturally and keep the viewers hooked through its substance rather than the regular commercial tactics.

She further said that her son was afraid of her after seeing her shouting in the trailer as Mubashira. She said, “my son asked me, ‘mama, why did you say this in an angry tone, are you angry?’ because he hasn’t seen me in anger in all his life. Also, I don’t take my character at home, I become Ayeza soon after changing my outfits”. Here is the link to the video:

I am very happy Alhamdullilah, now, the second daughter in law has arrived, you will see now the reality behind it. Actually, you go through some experiences for the first time and these first time experiences in any relationship cause problems, I became mother in law for the first time, also, it was my daughter in law’s first experience to go into another house. It is not always the mistake of one person, so, I am sure there were issues but I think social media and other people play a negative role.

Lately, he regularly posts his analysis on various viral Indian showbiz news. A few days ago, his video on Indian Singer Badshah and Hania Aamir went viral in Pakistan. Kamaal R Khan is once again doing rounds on Pakistani social media after sharing a roasting video on anti Pakistani film Fighter. The film stars Rhithik Roshan and Deepika Padokone in the leading roles. In the film Hrithik Roshan is shown in fictional war sequences. The film is getting severe backlash in Pakistan. Pakistanis are reminding India of recent Abhinandan incident as well.
Talking about the trailer, Kamaal R Khan said, “The trailer of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padokone’s film Fighter has been released in which Hrithik Roshan can be seen talking in an appropriate language. He is saying,’fighter isn’t the one who achieves his targets, a fighter is the one who destroys his targets, using the word (Thok deta hy)”. He also talked about the action sequences of Deepika Padokone, saying, “you will see Deepika Padokone in action, the sequence is the copy of Kangana Ranawat’s action sequences”.
He further said, “in the trailer, you will see Anil Kapoor addressing his officers about attacking Pakistan. You will also see a bomb blast in India which will cause a war between Pakistan and India, after the blast Hrithik Roshan and his army entered Pakistan. I would like to ask from them, “Why do you always attack Pakistan in the films, why can’t you attack China which is an equivalent enemy of India. This film is a stupid film, it will be unsuccessful, they are saying that they never replied to Pakistan which is a blatant lie. They always brag about destroying Pakistan. My question from the Indian Film makers is, “why do you always fight with Pakistan?, why don’t you fight with China?. Also, I want to ask, “if you have destroyed Pakistan, then why it keeps on coming back in your films?, if you are able enough to destroy Pakistan then you should downsize the Indian army and start sending the actors to attack Pakistan. Kamaal R Khan didn’t stop here, he further asked, “If they always finish Pakistan; why it still exists?. He concluded that the film’s narrative is false because they are stirring the public’s emotions and it will be a flop film. Here is the link to the video:
Many Pakistani and Indian viewers are thanking Kamaal R Khan for giving an honest review of the film. Pakistanis are appreciating his unbiased review. Many Pakistanis are reminding Indians about Wing Commander Abhi Nandan and the fantastic cup of tea. Read the comments:

Mannat Murad is one of the few dramas on Geo that I watched till the end. I opted for binge-watching rather than tuning into it every single week. This approach is perhaps one of the reasons why my perspective is different from the prevalent discussions on social media. In this last episode, Mannat and Murad’s turbulent marriage took a pleasant turn when everything shifted for the better, with Murad finally advocating for Mannat, ultimately bringing about a positive resolution to their challenges. The second last episode hinted towards a happy ending and I liked the way all the tracks ended even though Niggi did not get her heart’s desire, Fazilat’s happy ending was the pleasant surprise I had been looking forward to for the longest time! The culmination of Mannat and Murad’s journey served as a reminder of the profound impact of prioritizing communication and humility within the context of marriage.
Meaningful Storyline
Problems relating to marriage often take the spotlight in Pakistani dramas. Mannat Murad set itself apart with its distinct approach to addressing these issues. While a significant number of viewers continuously held Murad responsible (and rightfully so), my perspective on the story has consistently differed. The portrayal of Mannat and Murad’s married life served as a vehicle to explore a broader issue—the significant role of elders in the dynamics of a marriage. In a society where adults such as Mannat and Murad are often treated as ‘children’ (ladlay) in their households, the transition into early married life becomes a formidable challenge. This transformative journey becomes even more challenging with the prevailing influence of family dynamics from both sides.
Challenges of a New Marriage
Mannat and Murad’s journey highlighted the significance of affording the newlyweds the room to forge their unique connection without undue interference. Murad’s mother and Mannat’s brother’s characters embodied conventional familial roles, highlighting complexities that can impede the natural progression of a newly married couple’s bond. This story also showed how the real challenge lay not in dismissing the role of extended family but in striking a delicate balance between support and autonomy.
Mannat and Murad’s story also served as a poignant reminder of the significance of approaching marriage with realistic expectations and a steadfast commitment to nurturing this new relationship. Had Mannat and Murad embarked on their marital journey with a sense of preparedness and a genuine desire to cultivate a lasting and fulfilling partnership instead of thinking that this was going to be a walk in the park, there would not have been so many disappointments. The script also shed light on the importance of emotional intelligence and effective communication in the context of a marital relationship. Mannat and Murad both lacked maturity with Murad taking the lead in that department. Murad’s character served as a cautionary element, emphasizing the detrimental impact that immaturity and a lack of transparency can have on the dynamics of a marriage. It prompted the audience to reflect on how maturity and communication play pivotal roles in nurturing a healthy relationship. It was good to see discussions on social media regarding this character since that I believe was the purpose of showing the immature side of this character.
Reality Checks
Despite his imperfections, the writer deliberately refrained from showing Murad as a completely negative character. Instead, the narrative hinted at the potential for growth and development, suggesting that his character flaws were not insurmountable obstacles. This portrayal left room for the viewers to anticipate a positive transformation and a realization of his responsibilities. Murad’s journey, despite his flaws, resonated with me and I found myself rooting for Murad’s personal growth for the most part. There were also times when I felt as if Mannat did not try much to understand Murad’s situation even though she already knew what she was getting herself into.
In my opinion, Mannat Murad turned out to be a thought-provoking drama that had a clear-cut message for all the Razia Chaudhrys and Nafees Bhais, to consider the transformative power of acceptance and the liberating act of letting go for the betterment of the people they claim to love. Sabiha’s character, on the other hand, exemplified the role elders are anticipated to play in such a situation. She provided unwavering support and the right advice where Mannat required it, portraying an ideal representation of the guidance and assistance expected from elders.
This drama also served as a reality check for all the Mannats and Murads out there, challenging the notion that marriage automatically transforms everything overnight. Therefore, addressing a prevalent oversight – the failure to communicate to young individuals that marriages are not a sudden ‘happy ending’ but an enduring endeavor that requires persistent hard work and unwavering commitment. I think that some of Murad’s dialogues in the previous few episodes which shouted entitlement could easily have been chopped down because they did not go well with the character as a whole. They could be the result of his frustrations but I feel that those were not needed.
Performances & Characters That Stood Out
Despite Talha Chahour having already established himself as a commendable actor, Mannat Murad is going to be the project that will elevate him to the recognition and prominence within the industry that he has yet to attain. Iqra Aziz delivered an outstanding performance, harnessing the captivating expressiveness of her beautiful eyes to perfection. Her portrayal was nothing short of impeccable, sustaining brilliance from the opening scenes right till the end. Uzma Hassan once more opted for an unconventional role, shattering stereotypes with her effortless performance. Displaying a remarkable finesse, she brought out the most compelling aspects of her character, skillfully accentuating its positive attributes. I must confess that initially, I found Irsa Ghazal’s performance and character to be quite irksome. However, as the story progressed and her presence on screen lessened, I found myself appreciating the precision with which she infused life into the character. In doing so, she imparted a relatable identity that resonated with many viewers. Noor-ul-Hassan portrayed the over-possessive brother with equal conviction, effectively capturing the struggle to let go. However, his hairstyle was a notable distraction throughout.
It was delightful watching Rabya Kulsoom in a stylish persona and portraying a strong character. Her appearance and portrayal were both impeccably executed, hitting the mark with precision. Sachal Afzal was extremely likable as a non-problematic, supportive, and sensible friend. Both these characters offered viewers a refreshing respite from the surrounding toxicity associated with Murad, creating a welcome contrast that added a positive and enjoyable dimension to the narrative. Sana Nadir also delivered a noteworthy performance in her portrayal of Niggi. Tipu Sharif’s standout performance as the cool brother demonstrated his versatility and talent.
Though not without its imperfections in script and execution, Mannat Murad managed to resonate as a meaningful and enjoyable drama overall. The different approach to storytelling, coupled with convincing portrayals, contributed to a meaningful viewing experience. However, Geo Entertainment needs to cut down on the flashback scenes unless they believe that the majority of their viewers have short-term memory loss! This hinders the entertainment value and flow of their dramas and the repetitiveness is annoying.
