Cheekh Episode 25 & 26 – Story Review

Opening Thoughts – Drag:

Oh yawn, I mean Ohkay so, these two episodes of Cheekh were full of cheekhs & this drama has become such a drag that I couldn’t bring myself to review it last week, that is why I thought it would be a good idea to do a combined review of two episodes. The story has moved forward & this episode was quite happening but I could sense that they are now wrapping the drama up which actually makes me so happy that I am doing an imaginary bhangra in my head. Imagine, how desensitized this drama has made us by showing so many tragedies that even though in this episode one of the nicest characters have died but I am not feeling a thing rather I’m looking forward to the end!

Hospital Is The New Home:

In the previous episode, the only important scene was of Shariq’s meeting with Wajih, where he deliberately made him confess everything so that Haya could believe & find out the truth. Even though they have not revealed it yet & they might be saving it as a final nail in the coffin but I do hope Shariq was wise & sharp enough to record Wajih’s confession on his phone. I hope he has done that because in that entire scene his hands were in his pocket, so let’s hope that has happened. Also, if Shariq has not done that then I’m not sure why making Wajih confess only for Haya to hear was so important? But I hope some recording was done. In this episode, Shariq recorded Wajih partying only to send it to Haya so it does show that Shariq does know how recording works, so here’s to hoping!!!

Mannat was being treated so that her mental health deteriorates & she can be declared a cynic but one of the doctors saved the day & then Shayan’s dramatic move also made Yawar stop Aqil from doing whatever he was doing.

To be honest, in the quest of showing how to stand for the right & all that jazz, I feel the writer & team Cheekh has taken it toooooooooo far. This far that now anyone would think a million times before standing up for the right or challenging the powerful. I know they have shown a reality, I know this is the ghissa pitta excuse they give for churning out so much of negativity but still, I think in stead of putting the right message across, they have done enough to scare people to the core. It all started from Mannat losing her friend but then later Mannat went on a losing spree – she lost her baby, she lost her mother, she was at the brink of losing her sanity & eventually she has lost her husband!?! So not needed & so unnecessary. Also, it is funny that half of this drama was shot in a hospital! I wonder why couldn’t they show that after Shayan met some injuries, Mannat took it on her to teach Wajih a lesson because she has had enough? Why couldn’t they show that a supportive husband like Shayan was by Mannat’s side & saw her win the case. Nahi jee, killing & deaths of characters mean more ratings to chalo, aisay hi sahi. This drama might be showing how difficult the fight for justice is, but that thing is long forgotten & now it has just turned into something super depressive!!!

Finally, it has taken a loss of his brother Shayan for Yawar to now finally realize that he has been wrong all along by supporting Wajih. Unfortunately, he had to go through such a big shock to come to his senses & now when the maid testified against Wajih, Yawar knew he could not do anything because Wajih dug his own grave. I so hope that the writer doesn’t show Wajih losing his senses, rather he should totally stay mentally conscious to feel the guilt & regret all that he has done!

Closing Thoughts – I Have A Headache:

These two episodes of Cheekh were alright. This drama is popular but then, apart from negativity, there’s nothing that I see in it. It is a typical Zanjabeel Asim Shah script & next time if I see her name, I will switch the TV off because my mental sanity & health comes first. It is beyond shocking how this much of negativity can come from someone’s mind. Also, in the last couple of weeks I have had reruns of beautiful dramas like Malal & Doraha & while watching them, I really enjoyed how quiet those dramas were, even if there was a background music, it was instrumental & lasted for a few seconds & when there were conversations, there was no music. This is something that our drama makers especially those associated with ARY Digital should consider because there is so much noise & so much usage of music/OST in every single episode that it literally gives you a headache. No joke, I have been watching Cheekh on volume as low as 5 because the loud background music just gets to me & tonight was no different, I have a headache because I just watched this episode. Anyways, acting of all the actors has been good no doubts about it but this drama on the whole is meh. Zanjabeel Asim Shah needs to go on a long break & probably never return as a writer. The fact that after Balaa, she became the content head of ARY Digital is alarming. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Cheekh!

Deewar-e-Shab Episode 6 Story Review – Fast Paced

Deewar-e-Shab Episode 6 Story Review – Fast Paced

This was another fast paced episode of Deewar-e-Shab and the most significant development in it was Nagina’s growing resentment and changed personality. Apart from that, few of the characters from the new generation were introduced in this episode. Some of the scenarios were rushed, which is okay, as long as the writer has enough to keep the viewers entertained right till the end or at least for more than 10 weeks. Most of the characters in this play so far are black and white, Nagina is the only dynamic character which is why her track is that part of the story which makes you feel connected. Sitara Jahan and Dildar begum’s personalities and their relationship did not change in all these years. I am not surprised that Sarah Khan is playing Geeti Ara’s role because she has continuously been seen taking up such roles in dramas. Nausheen Shah’s performance continues to be the best part of this play since some of the other performances have been over-dramatic. The young actress playing Geeti Ara’s role was also quite impressive.

Khayyam’s Welcome

The first half of this episode covered in detail how different family members reacted to Khayyam’s arrival and the news of Feroza’s death. Islam’s character was further revealed and his dialogues were beautifully written. He is definitely the most positive character in this play and Kamran Jillani is well-suited for playing this role. Sitara Jahan’s reaction was shown in an overdramatic manner and just like always Dildar begum was there to remind her how Feroza had betrayed her. Nagina’s reaction could have been covered in a better way since she was more excited to meet Khayyam instead of showing the shock she felt knowing that her sister was dead. I am glad the viewers got to hear how Feroza suffered and they were not shown this scenario as a backstory since the way the backstory was covered in the most rushed and unconvincing manner in the previous episode. Gaiti Ara immediately welcomed Khayyam, noticed that he was a sad little boy and decided she was going to do whatever it took to make him happy. Although I absolutely loved the performance of the child star playing Gaiti Ara’s role but I must say that the character so far has too good to be true written all over it. Hopefully, Gaiti Ara will have more to offer in the future.

Sandal on the other hand wanted Khayyam out of the house right away and the fact that her nanni hit her because of him probably made her hate him even more. Sandal therefore is a complete opposite in every single way. There hasn’t been a single scene in which she was shown in a good light. All of this also seems like a repeat of Feroza and Nagina. Khayyam’s confusion and his discomfort was also translated well on screen. He had no idea who these people were and was obviously distant even though he was getting all this love. Another thing which stood out more than any other was his hatred for everything which was musical or which in any way was related to the actual profession of the family he now belonged to. These scenes were meaningful as well as alarming since his mother also left this life because she did not like it, was Khayyam going to cause more problems for Sitara Jahan?

Present Day Story

The second half of this episode covered the present day story and some of the characters from present day were introduced. Sarah Khan is playing the role of Gaiti Ara, who is about to complete her studies. Gaiti Ara is a studious young girl who is still close to her cousin Khayyam (Shehroze Sabzwari). Khayyam seemed like an angry young man who hated the family profession more than ever. Nagina changed the most in all these years. After working hard and compromising on roles, she had still achieved nothing. She blamed Feroza more than ever and her dialogues about Khayyam also suggested that she didn’t think highly of him. While Dildar begum’s granddaughter took the family business forward and earned well for them, things in Sitara Mahal were quite different. Sitara Jahan was still finding it hard to make ends meet but was unwilling to compromise on her rules and integrity.

Kinza Hasmi, Osama Tahir and Anmol Baloch were among some of the actors from the new generation which were introduced in this episode. Quite surprisingly Islam and Izhaar’s children are engaged. Islam mentioned that there was a huge class difference between them but his wife was more than eager to get the children married.

These characters and their stories were covered for a short duration therefore right now it is too early to say anything about them. I am waiting to find out more about them but definitely not looking forward to Khayyam’s father making an appearance since Raja Haider’s performance last week was extremely disappointing.

Final Remarks

Overall, this was an entertaining episode with the story moving forward considerably. Although Deewar-e-Shab is a decent play but the over-dramatic performances sometimes undermine the impact of certain important developments. I am however looking forward to the next episode and waiting to see what the Deewar-e-Shab team has in store for us next.

Do share your thoughts about tonight’s episode.

Maya Ali And Sheheryar Munawar Love Locked Around The World

Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar will be playing the lead roles in the upcoming star-studded film Parey Hut Love. The stars have been seen promoting their film all around the world in order to convince the viewers to go to the cinema halls to watch their film.

Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar also came up with a new idea to promote their film. They have been putting love locks around the world which have Parey Hut Love written on them. This novel concept of promoting the film is getting them the attention which they are looking for in order to market their film.

The concept of love locks started in Paris when tourists started putting love locks under the famous bridge Pont des Arts. These love locks had messages of love and humanity. Some of the people after tying the locks under the bridge used to throw the key in the Seine River below.

The Parey Hut Love team got the idea from there and is leaving these custom made Parey Hut Love , love locks around the world. Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar have been seen putting love locks in Paris near the Eiffel Tower and in London Town. While promoting their film in Lucky One Mall Karachi, they also promoted the idea of these love locks.

This concept is fresh which is being liked by the viewers. The locks themselves have been designed beautifully. Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar have never shared screen space before but they have really enjoyed this experience. They have been actively promoting their film, cheering each other on.

Kun Faya Kun Episode 2 – Story Review

Opening Thoughts – A Good Episode:

Ohkay so, this episode of Kun Faya Kun was good. The drama has started on a note where the family politics and family dynamics are being made obvious. Even though the first two episodes showed what we have seen before in quite a lot of dramas, the direction and acting of all the actors really are elevating the level of this drama.

Appa Jee Took A Stand:

Shama & Faseeha made sure to let Appa Jee know that she was being burdensome to her sons. I have said this before & I’d say this again, I am loving Appa Jee’s character & I am sure she is going to become the favourite grandparent of the Pakistani drama buffs in the near future. I actually thought that Appa Jee will take it all on her & she will keep things from Ubaid & Abbas but she really took me by surprise when she made it very obvious that it was Shama who insinuated all of this. I hooted for Appa Jee when she told Ubaid & Abbas everything but then it kind of broke my heart that despite knowing everything & wanting to do so much for Appa Jee, both Ubaid & Abbas were not in a position as their wives were a bit too controlling.

It was beautifully shown by the writer that Appa Jee did not even think for a second before coming to this decision & letting it all out because first & foremost she had this strong belief in Allah. Appa Jee could have ignored what Shama said if she had relied on her sons but Appa Jee made it very clear that she only believed in relying on Allah that is why it was very easy for her to let go of her sons. Even though Appa Jee tries really hard to instil this level of faith in Mashal too but by being a living example of it, she is teaching that to Mashal effortlessly!

I loved the way things unravelled in both the households where both Shama & Faseeha were shown their right place but fortunately for them, the fate is in their favor right now but karma will obviously get back to them. I kind of enjoyed that the scenes, especially of Shama’s household had that comic touch to them, like Shama overdoing it & then forgetting all about it & having food while chilling with her daughter. She really is mean & she is unapologetic about it. Faseeha is mean too but she is still subtle about it whereas Shama is all out & she is funny!

Hashir & Mashal are the only sane ones from the younger lot, even Armaan is too but the remaining three; Burhan, Areesha & Bisma are hopeless. Hashir & Mashal’s interaction was sweet. Appa Jee has a support system in the form of Hashir but again, she knows Faseeha is eventually going to make sure he stops helping Appa Jee out that is why, she wasn’t really keen on letting Hashir help her. Mashal & Appa Jee’s scenes were heart-touching & I am so glad we’re getting to hear some meaningful conversations in this drama where Appa Jee continues to guide Mashal & make her understand the importance of having strong faith in Allah.

Areesha & Bisma didn’t have much going on for them except to show how mean & shallow they both equally are. Burhan is no different too. To be honest, I know both these girls are just negative but their scenes had cringe written all over them. Also, I found it interesting how all these girls were reflecting the kind of influence they’ve had all their lives, Faseeha & Shama’s daughters being evil just like them but Mashal was clean-hearted like Appa Jee.

Closing Thoughts – Nargis Rasheed; The Star of This Episode:

Overall, this episode of Kun Faya Kun was quite engaging. I must say, the star of this episode definitely was Nargis Rasheed, I enjoyed her performance so much, she was phenomenal as Shama with every expression being so on-point. I really don’t say this in a negative way but if this is makeup & a deliberate effort of looking evil then Areej Mohyuddin has succeeded, like I could feel the negative vibes in her scenes, she has created that aura perfectly but I hope it is only projected for this drama. Zarnish Khan, I know is a very good actor but the amount of over-acting she has done is putting Sahir Lodhi to shame. I know Bisma is the ‘papa ki pari’ sort of a character & Zarnish Khan has given it the right kind of treatment as far as her styling is concerned but she actually could’ve refrained from the over-acting & it would’ve worked wonders. The amount of expressions she has given was actually making my eyes hurt, like it was hard to grasp all of that in a few second scenes. I hope her acting settles down in the future episodes. Imran Abbas did good but I want to see more of his character, I kind of giggled when he called Mashal his ‘chutki’ as we all know what’s in store for them. Alizeh Shah, though she might not be such an experienced actor but she is doing well as innocent Mashal. Nargis Rasheed was amazing in this episode & I know it sounds funny but I will be looking forward to her scenes in the episodes to come. I am glad they have not relied too much on background music, makes it easy to watch it without hurting your eardrums. The direction is great but I loved the aerial shots & different angles, camera work is brilliant. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Kun Faya Kun.

Sanam Chaudhry Got Married and Left Showbiz

Sanam Chaudhry has given one hit after the other this year. She can easily be termed as the best actress of the Pakistani industry since she has excelled in every single role she has played. Sanam Chaudhry’s play Meer Abroo is on air nowadays and people are loving it because of the performances in the drama. She also played a negative character in drama serial Ghar Titli Ka Par which was also appreciated by the viewers and the critics.

Faysal Qureshi has a segment in his morning show in which he asks his guests to say something about the celebrities shown to them. When Parveen Akbar was shown Sanam Chaudhry’s picture she said something which shocked everyone. She said that Sanam Chaudhry was a phenomenal actress but now she had left showbiz. Faysal Qureshi was beyond shocked to hear this and he asked why. To this Parveen Akbar replied that Sanam Chaudhry had gotten married and was now settled in the US.

The fans have asked Sanam Chaudhry many times whether this is true or not but she has not replied to them. Some people are also saying that Parveen Akbar shouldn’t have shared this news even if it was true because it was Sanam’s choice when she wanted to share it. It would be a great loss for the industry if Sanam Chaudhry really did leave the industry but if she is happily married than we are happy for her. The fans and followers are waiting to hear from Sanam Chaudhry who is quite active on instagram but has not shared any such news about herself.

Aiman Khan Got Angry With Hina Altaf’s Remarks About Her Husband

Aiman Khan Got Angry with Hina Altaf’s Remarks about Her Husband and Marriage – Hina Altaf and Aiman Khan are popular celebrities but there is a definite difference between the personalities of the two celebrities. While Aiman Khan is always calculated and to the point in interviews, Hina Altaf never shies away from speaking her mind. Hina Altaf was invited as a guest on the show To Be Honest which is hosted by Tabish Hashmi and directed by Azfar Ali.

A clip of this show has gone viral in which Hina Altaf and the host Tabish are seen talking about Muneeb Butt and Aiman Khan in a way which wasn’t liked by the celebrities concerned, for obvious reasons. The host asked Hina Altaf to name an actor who doesn’t know a thing about acting but is all airs and graces. Hina Altaf immediately named Muneeb Butt. What was even more belittling was that the host said that he had no idea who she was talking about since he did not follow television. He turned to google to search for answers. This clearly was another way of questioning Muneeb Butt’s fame and recognition. Hina Altaf’s reply to this was equally offensive when she said he is the one who had that expensive wedding , suggesting that that’s all he has to his credit.

As if this was not enough, the host replied by saying that he remembered this wedding because the bride Aiman Khan posted a picture discouraging people from giving and taking jahez right after her marriage. Aiman Khan and Minal Khan immediately expressed their anger via facebook statuses. Aiman Khan called Hina Altaf and the host ‘uneducated’ because in her opinion it was really upsetting to watch them making fun of their co-stars in such a manner. Minal Khan also questioned why there was so much hatred in the industry.

This was either something which was planned or perhaps the content of the show is such that they get ratings because of bashing celebrities.

Meer Abru Episode 26 & 27 – Story Review

Meer Abru Episode 26 & 27 – Story Review

Opening Thoughts – Full Points:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru took the story forward & while showing how everyone was dealing with the absence of Saim in their lives, they all were still trying to move on. When it comes to pace & the change of scenario, Meer Abru scores full points for it. This drama has remained consistently good & I feel other drama-makers should take notes from Team Meer Abru.

Meer Is Trying To Redeem Himself:

Abru was sent to her father’s place & even before she left, she was humiliated. Neither Saira nor Meer could do anything otherwise Abru would’ve never faced what Zaibi put her through. Meer has finally realized that he was wrong all along & that he doubted Saim for no good reason. Where it was good to see that a stubborn person like Meer was now reflecting upon his mistakes & trying his best to make amends, Zaibi as well as Waleed once again took the wrong direction & continued with their agendas. It is unfortunate that even after losing her son, Zaibi has still not learnt her lesson.

I liked the conversation between Jamal & Meer where he apologized but then Jamal told him he could have all that he ever wanted. Jamal realized that nothing was worth more than his own son & that all of the wealth that he has can never bring Saim back, his aloofness was so realistic but it is sad that Zaibi is not even thinking straight & Saim’s death has not altered her perspective!

Meer was trying his best to let everyone know that he has changed & that he will now do everything to bring them all together. It was bittersweet how Meer was learning every step of the way about all the things that Saim used to do, all the roles that he played & how he acted like a binding force to keep the entire family together. Meer learnt it the hard way that he had Saim’s shoes to fill but then this was his path of redemption where he had already started walking on it!

Abru was shattered & just the thought of having Meer around her made her bitter but then Meer finally had a conversation with her & made her understand that this was something that Saim had wanted for her & Meer was just making that happen on his behalf. I love the fact that even though Meer & Abru are so distant but still every time they are around each other, they still have that connection. Their past is not forgotten & even though Abru has moved on, Meer’s heart still beats for her.

Zaibi & Waleed are upto no good & this time around yet again, they are using Haya as a stooge for their ulterior motives. To be honest, now when something wrong will happen with Haya, I don’t think I will feel anything for her. She’d actually deserve all that Zaibi & Waleed will put her through because of her own stupidity & also for doubting her own sister.

Closing Thoughts – So Far So Good:

Overall, these episodes of Meer Abru were really good. I am loving this drama so far & I am totally impressed with how everything has been unfolding without any delays or dragging. It is truly amazing that even after so many episodes have passed, I have only good things to say about Meer Abru. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Meer Abru.

Nida Yasir’s VS Kanwal Ahmed of Soul Sister | Emotional Response To Critics

Nida Yasir was criticized a lot by ladies in a particular well-known closed social media forum titled Soul Sisters of Pakistan when she flaunted her shopping after she came back from her trip abroad on live television. Although this was an old show which was aired again because Nida Yasir wasn’t available but the ladies at the forum criticized Nida Yasir not only for showing off her expensive shopping but also the timing of this show since Nida’s mother-in-law had recently passed away. According to Nida Yasir, a lady from the forum also messaged her husband Yasir Nawaz to cause a ‘rift’ between the two. In her show Nida Yasir said that she had ignored her critics for too long and now she was not going to sit back and watch them do and say whatever they were doing against her.

Nida Yasir accused all these ladies of ‘harassment’ and also vowed to take action against Kanwal Ahmed, who runs the group. She accused Kanwal Ahmed, who runs the page Soul Sisters Pakistan saying that she had an agenda. She also criticized Kanwal Ahmed for running a show which basically ‘used’ the stories of women who had gone through traumatic experiences to attract the audience. Kanwal Ahmed has her own show ‘Conversations With Kanwal’, which is available on her YouTube channel and on her official page. Kanwal Ahmed invited different women to her show who share their personal stories and the main reason of these shows is to inspire other women.

Nida Yasir was quite emotional while sharing how she felt about all this criticism and she also said that the thing that worried and angered her the most was that these women actually tried to cause a rift between her and her husband. Some of these accusations obviously are baseless since Yasir Nawaz surely knew about all this and no stranger can cause a rift just like that. Nida Yasir also defended herself saying that all the things she showed from her shopping spree were brought on sale therefore saying that she was promoting expensive brands or making others feel bad about not having the finances to buy them was absolutely wrong. Some of the women even suggested that Kanwal Ahmed should host the host the show instead of Nida Yasir because Nida’s show was shallow.

There were some people who also said that Nida Yasir was actually feeling insecure because Kanwal Ahmed’s show was doing so well. There were others who felt that Nida Yasir’s ranting on television was an extremely immature act since these people who were sharing their opinion were from general public and they were merely voicing their opinions, there was no agenda involved. People have been asking Nida Yasir to work on the content of her show and now once again, it is in the news for the wrong reasons. Kanwal Ahmed decided to stay quiet about the issue for now but while replying to one of the social media users, she replied that she could not stop people from sharing their opinions. She also said that there were other people running the group on her behalf and she was not the one moderating the page.

It remains to be seen what ‘action’ Nida Yasir is going to take against the ladies involved. She named Kanwal Ahmed in particular therefore she is going to be the main person who will be held accountable by Nida Yasir.

Khaas Episode 12 – Story Review

Zahra Mirza

July 11, 2019

Opening Thoughts – Brilliantly Executed:

Ohkay so, this episode of Khaas was again brilliantly executed. As the episodes are progressing, all the issues that Saba has with Ammar are making more and more sense because they now seem realistic & are being conveyed in a brilliant manner. The direction surely has improved a lot & it is now becoming such a drama that appeals to me.

Saba Is Being Held Responsible:

Saba was brought back to Ammar’s house but no one was actually trying to understand what her issues with Ammar were. Everyone around Saba tried to make her feel guilty & responsible for the miscarriage. The way Saba’s deteriorating mental health was shown was perfect, it was like she was feeling helpless & slowly & steadily she was losing hope of being heard too. In the middle of all those lectures that Saba was getting, it was Farah who was feeling for Saba. It would be good to see Farah having a conversation with Saba on a personal level because now even Farah is a little convinced that Ammar is not such an ideal husband as he poses to be & as everyone around him thinks he is!

Ammar failed to take any responsibility yet again & even though he did bring Saba back to put an impression on everyone, he was barely there for her. Ammar has found a new activity in the form of Salma & she is now spending quite a lot of time with Ammar. Even though at this stage Ammar thinks no one really questions him or doubts his intentions but finally, his friend and colleague did put two & two together & concluded that it was Ammar’s behaviour & mistreatment with Saba that must’ve caused the miscarriage. Even though this does seem like a bit of a stretch but yes, at times smallest of mistakes do make women go through a miscarriage. Ammar is guilty & he pretty much knows what he has done but he is obviously never going to admit his mistakes, therefore he continued to make Saba feel that it was her fault!

Saba did try to confront Ammar, it was one of the most powerful scenes of this episode but then even after she said what was in her heart & the truth, Ammar couldn’t take it. Ammar’s entire family is bent on proving that Saba has psychological issues because she sees faults in her perfect husband.

Faakhir gave Saba a shoulder to cry on & even though at first Saba did not tell him anything, he ended up finding out everything from his & Ammar’s mutual friend & Fakhir felt broken. Nida has decided to confess her feelings to Fakhir but then Saba’s friendship with Fakhir will be used against her. Faraz’s approach regarding this entire matter is disgusting. Just because Faraz got what he wanted from Ammar, he now thinks Saba belongs to him & he is free to treat Saba whichever way he pleases. Faraz has shown to be quite a doting husband so for him to completely ignore the fact that his daughter was having a tiff with her husband is ridiculous. The least Faraz could have done as a father is ask Saba once to find out what was running through her mind.

Closing Thoughts – Intense:

Overall, this episode of Khaas was definitely good. It is nice to see that the script now has some seriousness to it & all the problems are now surfacing in a very convincing manner. Slowly & steadily the writer has showed how things are getting beyond difficult for Saba but what’s worse is that no one is trying to even listen to her. Everyone has done a great job but Ali Rehman was really good in this episode. Sanam Baloch should have gargled with hot water before her scenes because she really had a hard time delivering her dialogues & she didn’t sound too good. The direction of Khaas surely has improved & every situation has that perfect intensity that it requires. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Khaas.

Worst Pakistani Dramas of 2019 – Here is a List of 5 Dramas

Worst Pakistani Dramas of 2019 – Like every other year, this year too there were many drama serials which missed the mark completely and failed to win the viewers over. Since our production houses make so many dramas every year therefore there are bound to be plays which do not pass as quality projects but the biggest disappointments of this year were those Pakistani dramas which the viewers had huge expectations from. These were star-studded serials backed by the best people and production houses in the business yet they failed to deliver. Some of the drama serials in this list ironically were the most awaited and anticipated plays mainly because of the way they were promoted by the channels, production houses and the actors involved. All such Pakistani dramas basically proved one thing – no amount of marketing can make up for the lack of quality. Viewers tuned into these dramas with great expectations, continued watching them in the hope that they will get better and eventually were extremely disappointed. It is unfortunate that the production houses invest more in promoting these half-baked ideas than they do in ensuring that the final product is worthwhile.

Here is the list of the worst Pakistani dramas of 2019 which can also be termed as star-studded disasters.

Aangan

Writer: Mustafa Afridi
Director: Muhammad Ehteshamuddin
Producer: MD Productions
Cast: Sajal Ali, Mawra Hocane, Ahsan Khan, Ahad Raza Mir, Sonya Khan, Madiha Rizvi, Hira Mani, Omair Rana & others.

Aangan was the most awaited drama serial of 2019. The reasons for this were many, this was Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir‘s first appearance together after their on-screen couple became a massive hit when Yakeen Ka Safar went on air. Another reason was that Aangan had been written by the writer who won the award for the best drama already for his project Sang-e-Mar Mar. This was the first period drama of its kind after Dastaan and not to mention the fact that it had a long list of stars who were really proud to be a part of this project. The production house went out of its way to promote this drama therefore the viewers were pretty sure that they had something grand in store. Even when the first official trailer of Aangan was released, most of the viewers were impressed by it because it had a very theatrical feel to it. Little did the viewers know that the makers of this drama actually did rely on its visuals more than anything else. Right from the first episode everything about Aangan was average and there was more focus on the makeovers and the sets than anything else.

Aangan’s script was weak, its execution was shoddy and the end was the worst. Aangan quickly turned from being the most awaited drama to the most criticized one. Aangan turned out to be one of the most meaningless Pakistani dramas this year which will always be remembered for all the wrong reasons. This drama neither had a purpose nor entertainment value, which is why it couldn’t even pass as a guilty pleasure. It was actually upsetting to see all the star power going to complete waste due to the lack of substance. Sajal Aly, Mawra Hocane and Ahad Raza Mir did complete justice to their roles but couldn’t save this sinking ship.

Cheekh

Writer: Zanjabeel Asim Shah
Director: Badar Mehmood
Producer: Big Bang Entertainment
Cast: Saba Qamar, Bilal Abbas Khan, Ushna Shah, Emaad Irfani, Aijaz Aslam, Noor-ul-Hassan & others.

Big Bang Entertainment has given the viewers quite a few quality dramas in the recent past but Cheekh was one of those dramas which started with a big bang and hit rock bottom after a few weeks. Cheekh promised to be the story of a strong woman who would fight for her dead friend and vowed to get her murderer punished even against all the odds. This was the kind of story which needed a serious treatment yet the makers focused entirely on the commercial elements and even Saba Qamar’s star power couldn’t keep the viewers from screaming out loud at the height of repetition and lack of content. Saba Qamar’s performance grew weaker as the story turned into a snooze-fest and the production house banked on the old formula of showing a few fast paced episodes in the beginning to hook the viewers. Cheekh turned into yet another one of those dramas written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah which focused on the bechari aurat when Mannat turned from being a fighter to becoming a complete victim.

Making the viewers feel sorry for the main protagonist has been the primary goal of team Cheekh for the longest time now. Apart from that the mediocre acting from Bilal Abbas Khan is putting the viewers to sleep. The viewers expected to see proper court proceedings but the court case was turned into a lame joke which showed that the writer simply didn’t put in enough effort, thinking and time into this script. Well, that is what happens when you make an entire 20 plus episodes drama based on the story of a 2 hour long film.

Deedan

Writer: Attiya Dawood
Director: Amin Iqbal
Producer: 9th Degree Entertainment
Cast: Sanam Saeed, Mohib Mirza, Ajab Gul, Huma Nawab, Minsa Malik, Rasheed Naz, Tipu Sharif, Sarfaraz Ashraf and others.

The drama produced by 9th Degree Entertainment turned out to be 3rd degree torture for the viewers. The only good thing about Deedan was the scenic location of Gilgit Baltistan where this entire drama was shot otherwise the storyline, the characters as well as the direction was heavily flawed and it just didn’t make an impact. Every time people hear Sanam Saeed’s name, they are pretty much sure that her drama is going to be amazing but that was not the case with Deedan. Deedan’s story was about a star-crossed couple that couldn’t be together because of societal scrutiny and obstacles. It later turned into an ugly case of runaway bride as well as marital rape. The writer twisted everything so much and made it look like it wasn’t a big deal that while being in someone else’s Nikkah, Resham was living under one roof with her boyfriend Zardab while being pregnant with her husband Gul Khan’s child. The writer wanted to show that everything is fair in love and Deedan was a twisted story. This drama also had a track of a working woman Palwasha but it was showed that her husband Alamzeb was dominant and he controlled her like a puppet. To put in simple words, this drama was a disaster and what’s worse was Sanam Saeed and Mohib Mirza’s association with it. Sanam Saeed’s dependence on glamour and light skin also took away the impact her character would have made. It was unrealistic seeing her properly made up hairdos and smokey eyes throughout the drama where everything was always unfavourable for her.

Koi Chand Rakh

Writer: Maha Malik
Director: Siraj ul Haque
Producer: Idream Entertainment
Cast: Imran Abbas, Asma Abbas, Ayeza Khan, Muneeb Butt, Areeba Habib, Yasmin Haqn Tanvir Jamal and others.

This drama was not memorable at all but the thing it will be always remembered for is hideous makeup and 50 (eye and blush) shades of pink. The only thing that the entire team of Koi Chand Rakh focused on was making sure that every single cast member looked ghostly white, probably they thought looking as white as Casper was going to make them look beautiful but that was a mistake. This drama was disaster++. The direction was bad and the acting was even worse. When this drama was announced the fandom of Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas was thrilled that they were going to pair up but no one had an idea that this drama would turn out to be one of the biggest flops and both these actors would act poorly. The only good thing about Koi Chand Rakh was Muneeb Butt and his character of Umair. It was shocking that this drama did well in terms of rating and YouTube views but the truth is, it was a poorly made drama where 99.99% of the situations and reactions just didn’t make any sense. There was no continuity in the scenes and the characters were the worst character ever written in the history of Pakistani dramas. Areeba Habib despite wearing 100 layers of makeup was an eyesore.

Mere Humdam

Writer: Seema Munaf
Director: Haseeb Ali
Producer: Momina Duraid
Cast: Syed Jibran, Sarah Khan, Gohar Mumtaz, Mashal Khan, Fazila Qazi, Humera Bano and others.

This drama was another yawn-provoker because the heroine of this drama was so innocent that she put innocence to shame. Warda was so innocent that innocence committed suicide in Mere Humdam. In the initial episodes Warda was introduced as someone who always stood by the right and knew how to differentiate between right and wrong but as this drama progressed, her character took such a big U-turn that the road regulatory authority banned U-turns. Warda let her husband Haris exploit her. Warda’s best friend Osama was in love with her yet she could not guess it despite seeing his lifelessness where he would show up at 3AM if Warda called him for help. Warda’s character was annoying to the core but she crossed the level a couple of notches when after getting married to Osama she made a huge fuss after finding out that she was the girl Osama was in love with right from the beginning, duh! Sarah Khan is such a good actor, but her choices are exactly like the character she played in Mere Humdam – super bad! It was also amusing seeing Syed Jibran play such a pushover, bhai jee kind of a role!

Don’t forget to share your thoughts about these Pakistani dramas and feel free to add to the list.

Surkh Chandni Episode 9 & 10 Story Review – Depressing

Opening Thoughts – Depressing:

Ohkay so, this episode of Surkh Chandni & this drama in general has been quite depressing. I say that as a compliment that they have shown everything just so realistically & have covered all the aspects of such a tragedy in such a convincing manner that before tuning to Surkh Chandni, I actually have to make up my mind. I have to force myself to watch Surkh Chandni because I know it is going to be quite heavy.

Depressing:

This episode of Surkh Chandni covered all the aspects that Aida’s tragedy brought along. It was like Aida became the talk of the town & everyone felt entitled to have a say on this & believe the rumours. Junaid made sure to do something beyond Aida’s imagination to further tarnish her reputation & he succeeded because Mukhtar was the first one to believe everything & hold Aida responsible for facing all of this.

This entire situation has landed Aida’s entire family in hot waters because in stead of sympathizing with them or being compassionate towards them, the neighbours gathered to let Mukhtar know that his family was being a nuisance to them all. This was another angle which was covered brilliantly that people participate in gossiping but no one comes forward to lend help of any sorts & when the time comes, everyone turns their backs towards the victims.

Amaan’s role in this entire situation is like a ray of hope. It is brilliant how the writer has shown that for acid attack victims, the hope is never lost & there are always people around them who are willing to help them deal with & come out of this darkest phase of their lives. Amaan has been nothing but supportive of Aida. He has tried to uplift her every step of the way but then Aida can’t do much when her own brother has turned against her. It was nice to see that Aida considered getting married to Amaan because she knew he will take care of her but then, it wasn’t meant to be. Amaan’s eagerness to help Aida start afresh was sweet, it was nice to see him doing everything to arrange a ring for Aida.

Aida’s father couldn’t take it anymore & he succumbed to the pressures so much that he took his own life. It was tragic but it wasn’t something brave that he did. Aida’s father was always weak, he did try to take a stand but always faltered in front of Mukhtar citing his financial support as a reason behind his weakness. Anyways, he passed away & this was the last thing Aida wanted to see or hear because eventually everyone is going to hold her responsible for her father’s death.

The last scene of this episode was intense, it was good that Aida decided to take the matters in her hand because no one else was believing or listening to her. It was also realistically shown that both Shumaila & Junaid’s mother did feel a little guilty upon hearing the news of Aida’s father’s death. They know they are supporting the wrong but they are biased & have their agendas. Shumaila is supporting Junaid because he helps her financially & his mother is supporting him because he is obviously her son.

Closing Thoughts – Depressing:

Overall, this episode of Surkh Chandni was done brilliantly but was very very depressing. I really hope they show some positivity in Aida’s life from now on where she comes out of this phase & does something good for herself. The acting of Sohai Ali Abro in this episode was top-notch. Osman Khalid Butt as Amaan has been convincing too. Hassan Ahmed outdid himself in this episode especially. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Surkh Chandni.

Cheers,

Pakistan’s Reaction On Indias Defeat Against New Zealand in WC 2019

Pakistani Cricket Team may not be in the World Cup, but the Pakistani nation is still very much emotionally invested in the tournament. Too bad that this wasn’t a World Cup of Memes otherwise no one could have defeated Pakistanis. Throughout the tournament, Pakistanis generated amazing memes and the match between India and New Zealand wasn’t spared the scrutiny. Pakistanis got to showcase their creativity and meme-making skills yet again because they are rejoicing over the fact that India got defeated by New Zealand and they are out of the ICC World Cup 2019. New Zealand has immediately become Pakistan’s favorite cricket team for the World Cup 2019, for obvious reasons.

Let’s look at some of the funniest memes that have surfaced on the social media:

Deepika Padukone and Fawad Khan Exclusive Pictures from Past

Deepika and Fawad are two immensely talented and very good looking celebrities from different sides of the border. Deepika and Fawad could have worked together too if there weren’t so many tensions between India and Pakistan. Deepika and Fawad looked like a dream couple when they walked the ramp for the leading Indian designer Manish Malhotra. Their overall looks were grand as well as royal. Like many other celebrities in Bollywood, Deepika too is very fond of Fawad. In an interview with Karan Johar, Deepika said that Fawad had the dreamiest eyes.

There was also a rumor that Fawad was the top most and first choice for playing the role of Rawal Ratan Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s big film Padmaavat. There was also news that Deepika was the one who suggested Fawad’s name for playing this role. India media also reported that Deepika arranged a meeting between Fawad and the film’s director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The reason it didn’t come through was that Sanjay couldn’t visualize Fawad Khan as Deepika’s husband in the film. Indian blog Filmi Beat also reported that there was an alleged fight between Ranveer Singh and Deepika because of this.

the fans also wanted to see Deepika and Fawad together in a film but it was not meant to be. Deepika and Fawad however did go on a vacation together once alongwith the ace director Karan Johar. Some people were also expecting to see Fawad and Deepika together in a Karan Johar film in the future but then Pakistani celebrities had to leave India because of the growing tensions between India and Pakistan. At the IIFA in 2016, Deepika went down on one knee for Fawad Khan, which basically went to show how smitten Deepika was with Fawad.

Here are some stunning pictures of Fawad and Deepika from the memorable walk they did for Manish Malhotra in a Dubai Fashion Show.

Dar Khuda Se Episode 4 – Story Review

Opening Thoughts – Decent Watch:

Ohkay so, this episode of Dar Khuda Se was decent. The pace of this drama has been a bit on the slower side but the good thing is that every other episode has something new to offer which takes the story forward. Dar Khuda Se has turned out to be a good watch so far & I hope it stays that way in the future episodes too.

Afreen’s Siblings Are Selfish:

This episode of Dar Khuda Se focused on Afreen’s side of the story, mostly the selfish decisions her siblings were making without even caring about the consequences that they or their family might have to face.

Azhar landed himself in deep trouble & he couldn’t think straight because Shehla & her mother made sure to pressurize him in such a manner that he could not back out or second guess his decision. Shehla’s mother always wanted Shehla to get married to Azhar that is why the moment he proposed, she knew she had to do everything in her might to make that happen. Shehla’s mother knew she was taking the wrong approach but because she is a conniving person, she did not actually want to make it obvious to Azhar that she had accepted this proposal even before he had proposed. Shehla’s mother trapped Azhar & manipulated him into getting married as soon as possible because she knew that if he’d do some more thinking, he might as well back out & that was something that she did not want!

Tamkeen had started to enjoy the attention that she was getting from Rasheed. Tamkeen is desperate for attention, care & love but the sad thing is, she is letting this desperation get the better of her & that is why she entertaining undue attention. Tamkeen found Rasheed’s opinion about her flattering that is why she continued to have long conversations with him. Tamkeen is desperate & doesn’t have much of an exposure, that is why the things she say to Afreen are always uncivil & disrespectful. Tamkeen can not even fathom the idea that Afreen goes to work & despite being in contact with males in her office, she hasn’t found her love interest. Tamkeen actually thinks Afreen is like her but Afreen is not selfish & she is always mindful of the fact that she is earning to support her family. Despite being concerned about the fact that Afreen must have been hurt by Azhar’s accusations, Tamkeen continues to try finding out the reason that could justify what Azhar had said about Afreen.

Junaid & his wife came to meet Afreen’s family & the wife was pretty impressed with Afreen but then Azhar once again showed how selfish he is because he came along just when Afreen’s proposal was being put forth. Azhar himself wasn’t ready for this because he only wanted to get married to Shehla to secure her position but her mother had different plans & she forced Azhar to take Shehla with him. Once again, Afreen’s sibling proved that he is selfish & that he just didn’t care about his sisters.

Closing Thoughts – Going To Get Interesting:

This episode of Dar Khuda Se was good & it seems that the story is going to become more interesting. It sure is a drama based on a simple story & struggles of regular people but it definitely is being told in a decent manner. All the actors are doing a wonderful job. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Dar Khuda Se.

Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.
