As it was good to see Ahsan praying during his work, the netizens on the other hand mixed reviews on Ahsan’s recent video. Let’s have a look on how public reacted on Ahsan’s recent video while he was offering prayers during his work.
Dunk was one of those dramas most people were looking forward to watching because of its fresh pairing more than anything else. Bilal Abbas Khan and Sana Javed have both impressed the viewers in their recent dramas therefore the viewers had a reason to see them together on screen. Also, Dunk went on air a few weeks after it was announced therefore the excitement was still intact when it was aired. However, Dunk’s journey overall right from the time it was promoted has not been up to the mark. Even though it is one of those dramas which are getting the ratings, it has disappointed in many ways. While the producers manage to tick all the boxes which ensure viewership, they compromised on quality and authenticity. There is no denying the fact that all the actors have given their best but there is so much more that is just not right with the drama.
Here are the 5 reasons why Dunk has been a major disappointment.
The Producer’s Approach
The approach of the producers became quite apparent when few days before it aired, Dunk was promoted as a drama that was going to be really controversial. Fahad Mustafa made sure everyone knew what the basic premise of the drama was, which was in fact controversial. He went as far as saying that Dunk was a tribute to victims of false allegations of sexual harassment. Bilal Abbas Khan followed his lead and warned the viewers that Dunk was based on a ‘controversial topic. Well, the producers got the attention they were looking for since we all know that controversy sells! At a time when the #metoo movement was at its peak and there were so many people trying really hard to educate others regarding victim-blaming, in particular, Fahad Mustafa’s production house came up with a drama that seemed to be pleading the case of the group which indeed exists but is definitely in minority! Like Fahad Mustafa himself said that they were speaking for the 5 percent of the people involved in such cases! Even before the drama started the approach of the producers was quite apparent.
Fahad Mustafa gave another interview before Dunk aired and he made it clear that he was in the business of making dramas to earn money therefore that was his top priority. That was another unfortunate statement from someone who has in the past and even now made dramas on sensitive issues. He made his intent more clear than ever and this was a major put-off for many. Fahad Mustafa proved to be an irresponsible individual who couldn’t care less about the effect his dramas may have. This was definitely not the best start but we are pretty sure Fahad Mustafa did not mind the negative publicity he got since as a result of this many of the viewers tuned into the show out of curiosity. Big Bang Entertainment’s approach has always been ‘commercial’ right from their first drama Dusri Biwi but this time around they were not just commercial but also careless in their approach.
The Forced Element of Mystery
After Cheekh our drama makers, in general, have been fixated with adding an element of mystery to every single instance of harassment, rape, or murder! Since Big Bang Entertainment was the first production house that started the ‘trend’ it does not come as a surprise that they decided to carry on with it. While people love mystery, the mystery element in Dunk is forced since the producer himself revealed the main secret before the drama went on air. Why the viewers should even be wondering who is right and who is wrong when it has been spelled out for them already?! It was the most ridiculous idea to share the main premise of the story when half of the script rested on the mystery element! Most of the viewers tuned into the drama knowing that it was based on false allegations yet Amal’s character was meant to ‘dodge’ the viewers into thinking that she in fact was innocent. The major reason why the first half of the drama completely disappointed was that the treatment given to these episodes made no sense since the producer had already shared the main crux of the story.
The Treatment
Since the intention of the producers was to sensationalize a serious issue, they must have asked the director to have an approach that was in line with their thinking. That is the reason why the director has given such a treatment to the drama that every single aspect of the story has been sensationalized to the maximum. The excessive and dramatic background music even when it is no needed is a lame attempt to keep the viewers ‘excited’ even when there is no reason! Apart from this, the rona dhona by the professor’s wife has been excessively exaggerated more than once. Although Yasra Rizvi is a brilliant actress otherwise she has gone overboard more than once while enacting the anger and frustrations of her character. The director’s main objective was to overdramatize the situations and his intention was never to tell the story! The script wouldn’t have come across as non-serious if the director had not tried so desperately to add the overdramatic element to the drama.
The ‘Balaa’ Formula
Drama serial Balaa was also produced by Big Bang Entertainment and it was a commercial hit by all means. The drama rested primarily on a negative female character who fooled everyone left right and center. Since this ‘formula’ worked and the public was hooked to Nigar’s negativity and even more so eager to find out how she would get punished in the end, the production house decided to follow the same formula here as well. Dunk rests heavily and to a nonsensical extent on Amal’s negativity which can easily be termed as psychopathic behavior. While Nigar’s negativity had a certain background, Amal’s behavior has been left unexplained. The only explanation given by the writer was that she wanted some excitement and she did everything to save Haider! Even after all these weeks, Amal’s actions have no concrete justification or reasoning other than the fact that she is pure evil! It is really convenient for the writers to rest their entire story on such unexplained negativity of female characters. Everyone else around Amal believes her with their eyes closed and no one suspects her for a second even! Just like it was shown in Balaa, Nigar literally got away with murder right till the end, Dunk will continue following the same route and the viewers will not get to see the kind of punishment they are waiting to watch Amal go through. Even the posters of the dramas are more or less the same!
It is unfortunate that the public in general watches dramas centered around such characters which is why the writers create such balaas for dramas. Had the writer added certain nuances to Amal’s character or given someone else around her enough sense to question her actions and look at situations objectively, the entire storyline would have been more logical. Like is the case with any other such drama, one person is the victim (to an extreme extent) and the perpetrator gets away with everything right till the end.
Glorifying Toxicity
It would be safe to say that Amal is the only central character in Dunk who has been leading for the past few episodes. Ever since Amal’s negative and toxic side has been revealed she is the star of the show, quite literally. The writer has penned down the story in such a way that Amal’s toxic personality and her evil designs are central to the story and everything else simply takes a backseat. This could easily have been Haider’s story as well if he was given more strength and wasn’t turned into a victim wholly. Like many other such dramas, the writer has glorified a negative character by making her get away with everything. The producer Fahad Mustafa said that people will ‘enjoy’ watching Dunk which means that he is pretty sure that the Pakistani viewers like watching such negative female characters. We really need to make more drama where the more nuanced characters take the lead and our heroines and heroes are not psychopathic individuals whose life revolves around making other people’s lives hell.
Also, the fact is that more women, in reality, are afraid of coming forward in cases of harassment and rape. Content such as Dunk will definitely not help anyone where a woman is being shown in such a light. Surely, there are negative and evil women but there are many more who in fact are victims, and showing such dramas can seriously impact their journeys. The fact is that Amal’s character and actions are being glorified because even after all these weeks, there isn’t a single person who even remotely doubts her. The storyline is definitely focused in a certain direction which is neither enjoyable nor educational!
Final Thoughts
While there are dramas such as Dil Umeed Tu Nahin and even Aulaad (from the same production house as Dunk) which have a definite purpose in mind, there are others such as Dunk which have the sole purpose of acquiring ratings and they can go to any length in order to achieve that end. The producers are more than welcome to make commercial dramas in order to gain more profit but they really should think twice before making dramas on such sensitive issues. Big Bang Entertainment in particular needs to stop cashing in on negativity by showing women as toxic individuals who exploit ‘poor’ men!
If they really want to support a cause then their approach needs to be more responsible and less commercial! Dunk producers don’t want to tell a story, they merely want to cash in on the project. Had it not been for the phenomenal acting of some of the leading actors, Dunk would not even be getting the views that it is getting owing to its problematic content and approach. After the success of Nand and Jalan, the negative woman running the show seems to be a favorite scenario with the Big Bang Entertainment.

The Pakistani entertainment industry is blessed with the most talented actors. Some of these actors are so gifted that they give every role they play their best without even making a lot of effort. These Pakistani actors are the reason people watch dramas. It is a fact that actors can make or break a drama. No matter how good the script or production values are, if an actor does not deliver then a drama cannot be a success. Some Pakistani actors have been performing for decades and then there are others who are new but their name guarantees a good performance if nothing else. These are the actors who never disappoint their fans with their choices. They also make their fans proud of them by making each performance count even when they are part of a drama that isn’t too impressive overall. They are talented, good-looking, stylish, graceful, and undisputed heroes of the Pakistani industry. They have worked really hard to win the kind of love, admiration, and appreciation they enjoy today.
Here is a list of those phenomenal Pakistani actors who never disappoint their fans.
[lwptoc]
Noman Ijaz
Noman Ijaz has been around for decades yet even after so many years he continues to play roles that surprise the viewers. The way he showed his versatility in Dar Si Jati Hei Sila and Sang-e-Mar Mar went to prove that Noman Ijaz will never cease to impress his fans. Noman Ijaz has such a wide career and he has done so many outstanding roles yet there hasn’t been even a brief period of time when the viewers felt that they needed a break from him. His name alone is a guarantee that people will watch a drama. He rules the hearts of people because he has always come up to the expectations of his fans. Nauman Ijaz’s career is a testament to the fact that actors indeed do not have a shelf life.
Imran Ashraf
Imran Ashraf has made such a name for himself in the past two years or so that now he has just as much fan following as all the other top actors on this list. His hard work and dedication is the reason why his name guarantees quality entertainment. In 2020 he broaden his horizon by playing different kinds of characters and in 2021 his performance in Raqs-e-Bismil proved to be the main attraction. After leaving the viewers in awe of his brilliant performance in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, he made a conscious effort not to be typecast. That is why he played a negative role in Inkaar followed by two of the best performances of his career in Mushk and Raqs-e-Bismil. Imran Ashraf has redefined the concept of a hero in Pakistani dramas. He is one of those few actors who treasure their fans since he engages with them on regular basis and makes sure that his fans are indirectly part of his social media presence.
Faysal Qureshi
Faysal Qureshi is another brilliant performer who has been around for decades. Faysal Qureshi started acting at a really young age and since then he has come a long way. It won’t be wrong to say that acting comes naturally to him but he also puts his heart and soul into all his acting projects. Faysal Qureshi can play two opposite roles that could be poles apart and nail both of them effortlessly. Faysal Qureshi is loved and respected by fans. He knows his responsibility and therefore has never made choices that would disappoint his fans. Even if he has worked in dramas that did not have a good subject or were not well executed, his acting was always superb. There has never been even one instance where the viewers felt that Faysal Qureshi disappointed them with his individual work.
Adnan Siddiqui
Adnan Siddiqui is another actor who has been associated with the Pakistani entertainment industry for decades yet even now he manages to impress and excite in most of his projects. He is constantly reinventing himself and even though he has been typecast every now and then, he makes sure that he does give at least one such performance every year which is unforgettable. Most recently, his performance in Mere Pass Tum Ho impressed everyone and he got the kind of attention which most often only the young heroes get nowadays. He also interacts with his fans on social media and values their opinion.
Humayun Saeed
Humayun Saeed’s acting career has been remarkable. Whether it was Doraha or Mere Pass Tum Ho, all the performances Humayun Saeed gave were simply brilliant. This superstar always gives the roles he plays his best. Even when he was a new actor, his acting was always natural. Humayun Saeed also deserves due credit for making sure that he is seen in a different role every time. He has ruled the big screen and is ruling the small screen even now. All of his performances in his dramas and films have always impressed his fans. Even though Humayun Saeed gets into controversies but he always handles these controversies gracefully. He also makes sure that his fans know that he loves them just as much as they love him. Although Humayun Saeed has not played certain kinds of characters which the other actors in this list might have but he is definitely someone who has never disappointed his fans in any way. Sometimes his presence alone makes a drama stand out because of his organic performances.
Sami Khan
Sami Khan was an underrated actor for the longest time. Even 7 years back he had given some outstanding performances but his talent wasn’t recognized until now. Sami Khan is the king of expressions. He makes you feel and believe all that his characters go through. One thing about his performances that sets him apart from the rest is that he plays grey roles with perfection. Sami Khan can make the viewers hate his character just as easily as he can make them fall in love with his characters. Sami Khan is truly gifted. In dramas such as Aisi Hei Tanhai and Inkaar he proved that he gives every project he works his best. Right now in the drama serial Phaans he is playing another likable character. He has never disappointed his fans even when he was part of projects which overall were not that impressive.
Syed Jibran
Syed Jibran has also performed so many different characters and he has a definite screen presence. He was typecast after he played a negative role in the drama serial Chup Raho but the fact is that even in these similar roles, Syed Jibran always stood out. In Ranjha Ranjha Kardi he gave an unforgettable performance and went on to impress his fans in all the dramas in 2020 and now in 2021 as well. Syed Jibran should experiment more because he is versatile enough to do justice to all kinds of roles. He is perhaps the only actor whose performance is always a treat to watch even when he continues choosing to play more or less similar characters.
Ahad Raza Mir
Ahad Raza Mir is a new and young actor but he is not afraid to experiment and his performances are always spellbinding. Ahad Raza Mir has played some really complicated characters in his short career. All of his characters have struggles that are not easy to portray but Ahad Raza Mir has never disappointed his fans. Whether it was Yakeen Ka Safar, Aangan, Ehd-e-Wafa, or Yeh Dil Mera, Ahad Raza Mir gave performances which increased his fan following. Apart from this, Ahad Raza Mir has an amazing personality off-screen as well. Ahad Raza Mir’s acting career has just started but he is certainly making his presence felt. The viewers have a good reason to expect great things from him in the future. In his fan following is already unprecedented and he is the kind of actor who likes to let his work speak for him.
Mirza Zain Baig
Among the relatively new actors, Mirza Zain Baig has been consistent as well as impressive in all the roles he has chosen to play. Even when some of the dramas he worked in weren’t too impressive, Mirza Zain Baig always managed to make his characters as realistic as possible. He is the kind of actor who makes the viewers look forward to his scenes and has not disappointed his fans up till now. Considering how well he has done so far we expect even greater things from him in the future.
Syed Muhammad Ahmed
Although this list has all the leading and relatively younger men, it will be incomplete without Syed Muhammad Ahmed. Even though he most often plays central supporting characters but his screen presence and acting are such that very often the viewers are just as interested in his characters as they are in the other one all thanks to his brilliant portrayals. He can make the viewers laugh and cry with him. Presently in the drama serial Aulaad he is playing the leading role and has proved that even now he has what it takes to keep the interest of the viewers alive. He is one-of-a-kind on-screen father who gets as much love as the leading men in Pakistani dramas.
These are those few actors who never disappoint their viewers and their presence alone is enough to make the viewers tune into a drama. They have proved that they continue to experiment with different roles even now. Although the Pakistani drama industry is blessed with many more talented actors but none of them can fit into any kind of role the way these actors can. Some of the actors are typecast and others appear to be miscast when they try to experiment. There are only a handful of actors who can pull off different kinds of roles on the screen which is why their viewers are never disappointed with their performances. There are some actors who might do the character roles well but when it comes to playing a chocolate hero they might not fit in. The actors in this list have done it all and they have shown that they are capable of doing so much more.

“Chupke Chupke” is one of the most popular drama serials. Currently, it is airing on Hum TV; the fresh and lively dialogues with a top-notch cast is far away from typical “rona dhona”, and is surely a treat for the audience. However, there are some factors that can not be ignored while considering their negative impact on drama’s large viewership.
Let’s have a look at a few of them:
Are Ramzan plays supposed to play the role of rishta aunties?
Ramzan is the holy month of Islam, in which along with ‘ibadat’, the correction of ‘nafs’ is also crucial. Unfortunately, the Ramzan plays revolving around shadi plots are attempting to solve the mystery of who, why, when, where, how the marriage is going to happen, rather than leading the quest of identity and purpose of life. Most of these plays have nothing which can be identified as ‘Ramzan special’ except the timing!, as telecasted in Ramzan. “Chupke Chupke” is one of these Ramzan plays. There is a flood of marriages with a depiction of typical norms and behavior. Despite being a ‘Ramzan special’, there is no criticism, rather acceptance of wrong perceptions and norms, like other Ramzan plays.
Ghar damad – the reversed gender roles
The character “Miskeen” which is essayed by Ali Safina has received criticism for the controversial portrayal of ghar damad. Miskeen, who is married to “Gul”(Mira Sethi), lives in his wife’s house with his in-laws. His duty is to do all house chores and he seems to perform them wholeheartedly. However, the problem arises from the fact that the reversed gender roles are depicted as an element of insult. There are many households where women are supported by their husbands by having a helping hand from them in house chores. However, in this play, the character who is considered as useless can be seen doing the kitchen work and was often ridiculed for this task.
“Khandan ki izzat” must be measured by log kya kahen ga!
Drama serials are one of those elements which can shape the perceptions of the audience and thus influence their actions. It is due to this reason that dramas, with their humor or tragedy, have this long history of fixing society’s ills. However, “Chupke Chupke” seems to ignore this aspect, specifically when it comes to typical ideas as “khandan ki izzat”. These very keywords were frequently used to make ‘Meenu’ (Ayeza Khan) and ‘Fazi'(Osman Khalid Butt) agree for nikkah even against their wills. The idea of “khandan ki izzat” which is happened to be associated with log kya kahen ge rather than moral truths, is unfortunately promoted and approved through these scenes as there is more tension regarding the reputation of families than the future of their children.
Humor has become threatening!
The audience has witnessed a rising trend in our industry of creating humor. It is either created through indecent jokes or by stretching the boundaries of morality, where wit and intelligence is nowhere. “Chupke Chupke” being a Ramzan play has thankfully avoided the indecent jokes but could not help mocking morality and ethics as a source of humor. For instance, Gender biases, in one of the early episodes Bebe(Asma Abbas) scolded Meenu(Ayeza Khan) though in a comical way for asking her inherent share from the property, Moreover, Miskeen(Ali Safina) is also mocked for doing house chores. In addition to this, lies are also portrayed as the savior, even mature characters such as Kaneez (Tara Mahmood) casually speak a lie as if it is not a big deal,”tum apne sach ka jhanda apne paas rakho” And obviously, Meenu(Ayeza Khan) has a series of lies in order to produce humor. Normalization of unethical behaviors and stretching the boundaries of moral values in order to produce laughter is threatening for society as it further leads to acceptance and appraisal of these behaviors.
