Sana Javed has come a long way since the start of her career. he has come from doing supporting roles to full-fledged lead roles and has also successfully debuted in the cinema with her movie Mehrunnisa V Lub U. Apart from that, her style has also definitely improved and she is even more gorgeous now.
Sana Javed recently attended an event in Dubai and the actress just looked out of this world beautiful. She was wearing a white suit and her sleek hairstyle and her bold red lip made her stand out like crazy. Sana Javed has been mesmerizing her fans totally with her performances and her style statement. Check out her boss lady look below:
It is a time where we are seeing a lot of huge birthday bashes. It has become the new IT thing and celebrities are celebrating their birthdays with a lot of their friends and colleagues.

Old Lollywood is seen reconvening many times these days. All the film stars support each other’s work and ventures and we have seen them hanging out together a lot. This time we spotted Shaan Shahid and Reema who will soon be appearing in a movie together again after decades at the opening of health and fitness club opened by none other than another iconic 90s duo Rambo and Sahiba.
The couple invited their friends and colleagues to the opening of their club and it was great to watch them all together. Check out some pictures of the stars from the opening of Rambo and Sahiba’s fitness club:
Even though Chammi and Alia got plenty of screen time in this episode but unfortunately the lack of depth, detail, meaning and even flow is getting more conspicuous with every passing episode. The story jumps from one romantic track to the other and all of these tracks end in the most tragic manner. The relationship between the characters has not been explored in detail which is the primary reason why it becomes really difficult for the viewers to connect to the scenarios. Tonight’s episode was especially disappointing because Alia went from hating the whole concept of love to falling in love with someone like Jamil! Jamil bhaiya is somehow the ultimate attraction in Azhar’s household even though he has absolutely nothing going for him. Although, this was expected but one can only wonder why the writer was in such a rush to show this particular development. Even though the pace of this drama is slow but somehow the most important developments are always covered in haste.
The Love Triangle
Chammi’s rebellious nature and the length she can go to get ‘attention’ was fully explored yet again today. Chammi was not scared of her chacha and one could only wonder why she did something like that. It seemed like she was doing all this to get Jamil’s attention but when Jamil ‘bhaiya’ came back he was more interested in knowing what Alia ‘begum’ thought. Alia’s observations for the first time sounded judgmental particularly because she was being so sweet to everyone on the face but didn’t have a lot of good things to say about them when she was thinking how things worked in that house. Chammi and Alia’s relationship is sweet but very soon it will turn sour because of Alia and Jamil’s romantic track.
There were quite a few scenes tonight which clearly showed that Chammi was really possessive about Jamil. Azhar’s attitude towards Alia is completely different from the way he treats both Chammi and Jamil. He values Alia because she is educated (or so it seems) but was never willing to pay for Jamil’s education. Chammi’s biggest regret is that she never got a formal education. She knows that she is not valued because she is considered ‘ganwar’. While it is easy to understand why someone like Chammi (who has never been loved by anyone) would fall for Jamil, Alia’s ‘love’ for Jamil had to be the most unconvincing development in this episode.
More Of The Same
Alia’s mother’s obsession with the Britishers is the only aspect of her personality which is highlighted over and over again. Her attitude towards her husband has been the most off-putting aspect of her character. The only enjoyable part of this episode was the way Chammi made fun of Jamil. Chammi knows Jamil only too well and she can see that eventually Jamil will win Alia over. Her ‘jalsa’ seemed to be a direct outcome of her growing frustrations. Sajal Aly’s performance was right on point tonight but the jalsa scene was outrageous!
Overall Impression
Aangan’s script and even the execution has been a huge disappointment. Slowly, different characters are sidelined or they exit from the story in a tragic way. Salma, Aba Mian, Subhan, Safdar, Tehmina, Kusum and now Mazhar! That’s seven characters in 12 weeks and it seems like there will be more to follow. I was actually looking forward to Chammi and Alia’s interactions and their scenes but Chammi’s madness tonight reminded me of Salma. Having said that so far Chammi is the only character I actually feel for, not sure how long that is going to last! There are times when you feel like this drama doesn’t have a purpose or a plot other than making everyone look great on screen. The actors have done justice to their respective roles but their stories are not interesting enough and the screenplay has been the biggest disappointment.

Ohkay so, written by Sarwat Nazeer, directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain & produced by Six Sigma & Next Level Entertainment; Do Bol is a drama that just commenced on ARY Digital & they will be airing double episodes of it, which always is a good thing. Do Bol can be termed as a family saga because it revolves around a household that leads its life in a joint family system. The first two episodes of Do Bol were decent enough to introduce the story & the characters, which are a lot.
Cast & Characters:
So, first we have Gaiti (Hira Mani), who has a strained relationship with her father Iqbal (Mehmood Aslam). Iqbal’s first wife Jahan Ara left him & his daughter, which broke Iqbal’s heart so much that till date he hasn’t been able to move on & forgive Jahan Ara. Also, because of what Jahan Ara did, Iqbal hasn’t brought himself to love Gaiti the way she deserves to be loved. Iqbal has always kept a safe distance from her which takes a toll on Gaiti. Iqbal then got married to Nafeesa (ZQ) & despite being a step mother, Nafeesa loves Gaiti like her own child. Nafeesa is mindful of the fact that she couldn’t have her own child, therefore she showers Gaiti with all the love she has as she also feels for Gaiti because Nafeesa knows how distant & aloof Iqbal is towards his daughter. This mother daughter relationship was the highlight of these episodes for me plus it was so refreshing to see such kind of bonding a step mother & daughter.
Iqbal lives in a joint family system where he has a younger brother Munawwar, his wife Nasreen (Salma), their two children Neelam & Nofil. Along with Iqbal & Munnawar, their two sisters widowed Firdous (Samina Ahmed) & her son Zafar as well as unmarried sister Fareeha reside too.
It was interesting to see how there were two teams in this household. Firdous & Fareeha on one side & Nasreen & Nafeesa on the other but Nafeesa is the peace-maker, the submissive one whereas Nasreen is the one who calls spade a spade & that gives Firdous a chance to play the victim. Firdous lives in her brothers’ house but she takes the undeserving advantage of the respect & status that Iqbal & Munawwar have given to her. Fareeha is a spoiled brat, probably because being the youngest, she has been pampered by her elder siblings quite a bit.
Fareeha is set to be married & she is getting married to Hassan, whose family moved abroad years ago but before that, they used to be their neighbours. Hassan’s family includes his mother Safina & younger brother Sameer. Sameer is in one-sided love with Gaiti & it was suggested that he had feelings for her since the time they were kids & used to play around.
Badar (Affan Waheed) is Iqbal’s manager & personal assistant, he is more like his family member too where he is quite trusted upon & looks after everything. Badar’s father used to be a manager of Iqbal’s father too, so that’s how their families have been associated for years. Badar is taking care of Fareeha’s wedding planning too & that’s when he gets a chance to interact with Gaiti a lot more only to develop feelings for her.
It was interesting to see so many characters with each of them having one thing or the other happening in their lives. Iqbal wants Gaiti to pass her exams or else he tells Nafeesa that he’d marry her off, that is why only to please her father, Gaiti is preparing for her exams. Neelam has fallen for Sameer, whereas Sameer likes Gaiti. Badar likes Gaiti too but he has just found out about Sameer’s feelings for her so he is obviously heart-broken because he can see that Sameer won’t have an issue in getting his proposal accepted. Firdous wants Zafar to get married to Neelam but her mother Nasreen has rejected the proposal because she doesn’t like Zafar as such. Even though it might look like so many tracks have been given a coverage in the initial episodes but each one of them was done justice to & they all got a proper introduction which didn’t leave much to the viewer’s imagination.
I feel just because there are so many characters in Do Bol, this drama will always be happening with one thing or the other to offer. I liked Gaiti’s character a lot, even though she has been brought up knowing what her mother did & that her father doesn’t like her but she has developed this courage to fight & not let anyone put her down. Gaiti always stands up for herself & she doesn’t allow anyone to fool around. Gaiti even stood up to her father when she saw him mistreating Nafeesa. I hope as the story progresses, we see some change in Iqbal’s attitude where she learns to respect Nafeesa & acknowledge all that she has done for Gaiti. Also, I hope he loves Gaiti too because she doesn’t deserve the hatred that he feels over what Jahan Ara did.
Even though the main focus was on Gaiti & also on Badar, I liked how all the other characters contributed a lot in making these initial episodes happening. All of them have a strong personality & it was good to see them all living under one roof with their set of issues & problems but curbing them while they get ready for a family wedding.
Closing Thoughts – A Convincing Start:
Overall, the initial episodes of Do Bol were really good & I had a great time getting to know all these characters. I am definitely looking forward to what the story has in store for us because of its convincing start. The direction as well as the production value of Do Bol is really good. The director tried to play with the beauty of Hira Mani & elaborate it further & he definitely succeeded in capturing it. Hira Mani looked like a vision in almost all the scenes & her flawless acting is an added bonus. All the actors did a great job & I most certainly enjoyed watching the character of Firdous, played perfectly by Samina Ahmed. Affan Waheed did really well as Badar, a subdued character. Really looking forward to the rest of the journey. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Do Bol.
The fourth season of PSL is going on in full swing and people are as always loving it. After successfully taking on the war on terror, Pakistanis have come a long way and are now a safer country again. We have seen matches of PSL in Pakistan last season too but this time we will be able to witness 8 matches which will be played in Karachi’s National Stadium.
All the foreign players were willing to come to Pakistan except Shane Watson who is loved by millions in Pakistan too and is a part of one of the best teams of PSL, Quetta Gladiators. Well, the good news for the Gladiators fans is that Shane Watson is coming to Pakistan as the owner of the team Mr. Nadeem Omar has convinced him to come. It is indeed a great day for cricket as all the stars are now coming to Pakistan.
We are hoping for some nail-biting matches ahead and hopefully, the whole PSL will be conducted in Pakistan soon!
The latest patriotic flick to drop by is Sherdil and is another PAF movie after Parwaaz Hai Junoon was a hit last year. The film stars Mikaal Zulfiqar and Armeena Rana Khan in the lead roles and Mikaal is playing a very zealous pilot. The on-going tension between India and Pakistan has proved to be a great time for Sherdil’s release as the real-life PAF Sherdil’s have just proven how professional the Pakistan Airforce is.
The official trailer of the film has dropped and looks like we are in for a full-blown Indo-Pak army drama. The film is directed by Azfar Jaffri who has directed Janan, Parchi and Siyaah before this. Check out the trailer below:
The trailer is packed with action and drama and the film will release on the 22nd of March 2019!
Ali Sethi is one of the most talented singers of Pakistan. He has won many accolades since starting his career and keeps mesmerizing his fans with his new ventures. The great news for the singer is that his hit song “Umran Langiyan” from Coke Studio Season 8 will be featured in a documentary “TheCase Against Adnan Syed” and it will feature on HBO. It is produced by Jemima Khan.
Ali Sethi is joining musicians as Lana Del Rey, Nick Cave, Cat Power and Michael Stipe. The lawyer of Adnan Syed, Rabia Chaudhary used to listen to the song while researching for the case and that is why his song will feature in the documentary. Check out the song below:
Whatever you may do in your life, education is the most important part and one should always try to be very sure about completing their education. Working in the entertainment industry is a very demanding job and people often get side-tracked from their education once they indulge in work. However, there are people who are determined and always work hard for their goals.
Mawra Hocane is such a star who has made a name for herself in the industry and has also worked hard to get her degree. The lady is now officially a lawyer alongside being one of the top lie actresses of Pakistan. She just got her degree at the University of London and looked confident in a red dress. Uzair Jaswal also got his degree the same day and the stars posed for some pictures on their big day. Mawra Hocane’s parents were also present at the convocation. Check out the pictures below:
Sheheryar Munawar surprised everyone with his engagement since he did not talk about his plans to get married in any of his recent interviews. Just when people thought that Sheheryar Munawar was more focused on his work than ever which was why getting married just yet was not an option, the pictures of his engagement ceremony went viral. This ceremony was a family affair and was not as festive or grand as some of the engagements of the celebrities in the recent past. Sheheryar Munawar got engaged to Hala Soomro, someone who is not associated with showbiz but definitely someone who hails from a really good background. In this video you will find out everything about Sheheryar Munawar’s fiance. We have also added comments which are rude and offensive but there are so many of them. Why are people criticizing Sheheryar Munawar’s fiance so much? What are they saying about her. Watch the video to find out
Body shaming and judging have become so common in the world and it is a nightmare since the advent of social media. Many times we have seen people bashing and trolling people who marry stars from the showbiz industry. It happened to Zaid Ali’s wife Yuman Zaid, then it was Sara Razi’s husband and now its Shehryar Munawar Siddiqui’s fiancé. The star just got engaged and the couple looked ethereal at the ceremony. His fiancé is a doctor and her name is Hala Soomro.
People were out there for blood as soon as the news came out and have been passing stupid comments about Hala. The ugliness and viciousness can be seen in these comments:
Well, Hala is a young, beautiful and successful woman and passing unnecessary judgments on her is so not right. We need to learn to use our words in a responsible manner and show courtesy and manners even when we are typing on a post. The couple looks extremely beautiful and we hope they get their happily ever after!
Mohib Mirza is coming back to the silver screens with his movie Ishrat: Made In China. He was last seen opposite Saam Saeed in Bachana. He is producing and directing Ishrat too and the first spell of the film is complete.
Mohib Mirza’s Ishrat is going to be an action-packed comedy and we are going to see many stunts. Mohib Mirza is performing his own stunts and during one of those shots, he got severely injured. The actor sustained some nerve damage but he is doing well as he informed his fans on his Instagram. It will be great to watch Mohib Mirza in a completely different role after Bachana. His fans are waiting for the teasers to drop as soon as they can so they can enjoy their favourite star on screen.
Ishrat will also mark Mohib Mirza directorial debut!
Huma Adnan has collaborated with the UNHCR and has launched jewellery created by refugee Afghan women. The pieces are ethnic and chunked and looked awesome.

Wajahat Rauf started with the films when he directed Karachi Se Lahore. The film got a good response and later a sequel was also made. After Lahore Se Aagay, there was going to be Karachi Se Lahore 3 but the director didn’t feel it and went for another project.
It has since been announced that the project will have Mehwish Hayat and Zara Noor Abbas as the leading ladies while Azfar Rehman and Asad Siddiqui will play the male leads. The film was being called as Film3 but the untitled now has a name. The film has been titled as Chhalawa and we will also get to see Ashir Wajahat and Mehmood Aslam in the film. This is how the cast and the director announced the title:
Time and time again, our artists have proved that in times when our industry didn’t have much, they still shined due to their talent. But in the ongoing chaos between India and Pakistan, they have also shown how tolerant and peace-loving they are as opposed to the Bollywood artists, who were equally involved with their government in jingoism.
Armeena Khan is one star who also talked openly about the importance of peace and even called out anyone and everyone who was rooting for war and a massacre of the innocent. Armeena is soon to be seen in a movie on PAF, Sherdil and she posted about the real Sherdil of her life. She for the first time shared her father’s picture who was an army officer and expressed how important peace can be. This is what she wrote:
And agreeing to Armeena, May war never remove our fathers’ hands from our heads!
It was Fawad Khan’s sister Sana Khan’s wedding and the family has shined at every event. They have all looked extremely classy and were a vision to look at. The bride Sana opted for her sister-in-law Sadaf Fawad Khan’s brand for her wedding. She wore a dull gold Jora for her Mehendi while she stunned in a plum Lehenga on her Baraat.
At her reception, she has worn a silver Lehenga and needless to say, impressed everyone. Sana’s glam looked out of this world too. Check out some pictures from her reception:
Parents are the support system who lift you, cherish you and stand by you in good and bad times. Losing a parent is one of the biggest and deadliest dilemmas of any person’s life. Mohammad Amir is a cricketer who has worked hard to prove himself. After a set back in his career, he fought his way up again and made a place for himself.
He has since been on a good path in personal and professional lives. But he just got a very painful shock as the cricketer’s mother is no more. He tweeted about his mother being in the ICU and asked his followers to pray for her. She, however, could not survive and has left this mortal world. Mohammad Amir announced the news on Twitter:
May Allah bless the departed soul and grant peace to the family for bearing this huge loss!
Ohkay so, to be completely honest; I struggled to watch & review this episode of Khud Parast because it has become quite stagnant & the story is not moving forward whatsoever. I think by dragging things further they are going to lose the chance of making an impact when the tyrants in this drama get what they deserve. Also, not sure why but I felt that a few events in this episode were heavily inspired by the recent drama Balaa. I so hope that is not the case but considering the kind of popularity that hideous drama got, I won’t be surprised if the writer was forced by the producers to add those flavours in Khud Parast as well.
Uswa Is In Trouble:
Uswa & Adeel finally got married & Maria tried to talk Uswa out of this marriage for the one last time. Being a mature & wise person that Maria is, she wanted to prevent her sister from ruining her life further but Uswa wanted to do what she deemed right because she wanted to prove to everyone that she could make the right decisions too. Uswa is the kind of person who would jump into the deep pit only to prove others wrong while completely ignoring the fact that she’d end up hurting herself during the course of this action. Uswa did have inhibitions plus she also knew that Adeel had a past but she chose to believe him & not her own family.
Zarina is terminally ill but Adeel chose not to tell Uswa about it because he feels he can not waste the money on her treatment. This particular scenario reminded me of Balaa where Nigaar doesn’t tell anyone about Saleha’s condition (ironically the same kind of disease that Zarina is faced with) & lets her die. Adeel has made up his mind that Zarina is going to pass away anyways so he thought he’d save that money for himself. Uswa ended up trusting Adeel a bit more than he deserved & that is going to be the turning point of this marriage too where Adeel will get what he wanted & he will then treat Uswa as a nobody!
Bakhtawar has lost her senses because she has been tortured so much, again, this was a reminiscent of Balaa too where Shama lost her sanity because of being continuously & brutally tortured by Nigaar. In Khud Parast, it is again the daughter in law who is driving her mother in law nuts. To be honest, as much as I wanted Bakhtawar to pay for what she did, when I saw Khatoon Bibi getting the hold of those keys, I actually hoped that she’d rescue Bakhtawar or at least meet her to console her. This is what happens when things are dragged, that you end up forgetting what the character did & you actually sympathize with them. I don’t agree that a negativity should be nullified with the negativity, like whatever Nazish is doing with Bakhtawar will come back to her in full circle too so, yes, not too convinced here.
To be honest while watching this episode of Khud Parast, I was forced to question about what the writer was trying to convey in terms of the treatment that both Uswa & Beenish got. Uswa was rebellious, she didn’t pay heed to what others expected from her, she was selfish, self-centred & a victim of self-pity so, going by the text book she was bound to doom but if we look at Beenish, she was a text book Bahu; submissive, selfless, forgiving & someone who minded her own business, yet she also met the same fate? She was humiliated. Yes, I do get that she was better off without a husband like Moeez & now she even has become independent & self-sufficient to support her daughter too but then, I am trying to figure out the formula that would’ve secured the position of a girl in a household like Bakhtawar’s because she couldn’t tolerate Uswa but then she also let go of Beenish easily while believing that she must’ve had an affair with Hanan? No middle ground there! So who was right & who was wrong? In this case all three of them; Bakhtawar, Beenish & Uswa are wrong!
Closing Thoughts – Still Like This Drama, But:
Anyways, this episode of Khud Parast reminded me of Balaa quite a lot of times. I really wish the writer had stayed true to the undertone that this drama had right from the beginning because now it seems that it has been written by a completely different person. I still like watching Khud Parast but this episode was hard for me to follow. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Khud Parast.

We have all seen weird campaigns run by many brands to attract as much attention as they can for their products. We have seen a lot of racism and many times brands go an extra mile to advertise, to an extent that the campaigns come out as straight weird.

Wrong No. 2 is another film which we will see in the cinemas in the year 2019. Yasir Nawaz has directed this one too like he did the first one. This time we will see Sami Khan and Neelam Muneer in the lead roles in the second instalment while veterans like Javed Sheikh and Shafqat Cheema will also play pivotal roles.
The film is going to get a huge challenge at the box office as it will be releasing along side the very anticipated The Legend Of Maula Jatt. However, the makers are confident since the film totally belongs to a different genre.
With the release of the film draws near, we have many of behind the scenes pictures out and looks like the film will be in an urban setting this time. Check out below:
I have to admit that this is not the kind of drama you can write about immediately after watching a new episode. This drama is truly spell-binding and it transports you to another world – the world of Bhola and Noori – where love happens in the most unexpected ways. You need time to absorb all the minute details which always add something tangible to the story. There are always few surprises in store which even after all these weeks make you look forward to the next episode. Faiza Iftikhar has truly outdone herself this time around and Kashif Nisar’s superlative direction never ceases to impress. Imran Ashraf deserves all the praise in the world for his outstanding performance throughout and Iqra Aziz makes her presence felt in every single scene.
Bhola and Noori
Tonight’s episode was emotional and intense in so many ways. Noori is gradually realizing what she means to Bhola and her attitude in this episode; the physical closeness and the level of comfort she feels around Bhola, changed considerably. She has gone from doing what needed to be done to forming a close bond with Bhola. This episode also focused on Bhola’s over-dependence on Noori, his love for her and his emotional state – he cannot imagine a life without his dulhan and will do anything to please her and to make her stay. Noori understands Bhola and their scenes together have been an interesting combination of realistic as well fantastical. It is a strange union which has come alive on screen brilliantly because of the beautifully etched-out characters, a convincing screenplay, the most impeccable direction and performances which leave you in awe of the actors who never fail to impress. Bhola ran away from home distressed and confused, was distracted by the pakoras and eventually came back perhaps because staying away from home for too long was no longer an option.
Bhola and Noori’s scene after he came back, the dialogues and the performances were absolutely phenomenal. Was Noori equally frightened of losing Bhola? Was it because she felt a connection with him or because she felt protecting him was her duty? This is the first time that Noori has been loved so unconditionally therefore for her this is something brand new for her. She loved Sahir madly, did something outrageous to bail him out yet he did not value her and now there is someone in her life who is willing to do anything to make stay. Noori is valued in her new house in so many ways like she has never been valued before, surely she will not take all this affection for granted.
Sahir Meets The Family
Sahir’s meeting with his boss’ family was coincidental and it showed how much Nusrat trusted him. It is quite clear now what Nusrat is planning and so far Sahir is only doing whatever he is expected to do. He obviously has no idea that Nusrat has something else planned for him. When Sahir was driving the chachi home, he figured out through their conversation that the women in that house were expected to abide by certain strict rules. He will sooner or later meet Noori and wonder how she ended up being part of a family in which women are not even allowed to keep mobile phones. Also, the fact that Nusrat trusts Sahir around his family goes to show his blind faith in him. He has a shoddy past too and no one knows more than Noori that he should not be trusted. The future episodes in which these two meet are going to be really interesting. Noori thinks about Sahir often enough but it is highly unlikely that someone like Noori will trust Sahir again.
Nusrat and Noori’s Scenes
Nusrat feels really uncomfortable around Noori since he does not like the fact that she notices everything and has the guts to question him as well. She once again questioned him about the doctor and this scene also suggested that Nusrat definitely has been giving Bhola the wrong medicines. The purpose of this visit probably was to start giving him those medicines again. Noori is bound to find out the truth sooner or later.
Overall Impression
Watching Komal worry about Bhola even after what he had done, made her character even more likable. Bhola’s apology and the scenes with his mother were emotional. Asma Abbas has acted exceptionally well throughout, her expressions when Nusrat walked in and Bhola ran away were priceless. While she felt embarrassed because of what Bhola did, she also pleaded his case. Her character has been written and acted-out beautifully, every mother out there must see a part of herself in Fehmida. Tonight’s episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was phenomenal, I will definitely watch it one more time. This drama always gives you so much to reflect upon. It has some of the most amazing characters and few of the most exceptional performances.

Ohkay so, this episode of Cheekh was slow too but then it is understandable that they are taking their time & showing everything that is going to finally convince Mannat to take a stand. Right now the story of Cheekh is focusing on the silent & loud suffering of those who were related to Nayab by blood & by emotions but I do feel things should move forward now.
The Powerful Are Intimidating The Weak:
Ramzan still hasn’t given up hope & he still thinks he will be able to get Nayab the justice she deserves against all odds. This episode showed how Wajih was intimidating Ramzan & was torturing him psychologically in order to weaken him & push him to the limit where he drops the idea of standing against Wajih in court. The way Amir Khan told Ramzan that if he could convince Mannat went to show that he was pretty sure that she won’t be testifying against Wajih. This was the confidence that Amir Khan got through Wajih because Wajih thinks he has done enough to keep Mannat from spilling the beans. So yes, Amir also told Ramzan that the case would proceed if Mannat testifies & unfortunately, Ramzan already knew that was not going to happen.
Mannat continued to observe everything that was going around her & she also observed everyone’s behaviour, which made her disgusted & uncomfortable by being surrounded by such cold-hearted people. It was interesting to see the contrast between Ramzan & Mannat’s sufferings where Ramzan was giving words to his feelings but Mannat was just absorbing everything, she was keeping her feelings to herself because she had no one to talk to & no one who’d understand her. It was nice to see Shehwar being considerate towards Mannat, she knew what Mannat has been through recently so she just wanted to be kind to her before she leaves.
Ramzan created yet another scene at Yawar & Wajih’s office but this time around, even Yawar lost his cool seeing how irrationally Wajih was dealing with everything. Obviously Yawar is bound by the love of his younger brother that is why he is not saying much but it was obvious that even he was unhappy with Wajih’s attitude & behaviour. Wajih thinks he has scored a win by intimidating both Ramzan & Mannat but only time will tell.
One thing worth noticing was Haya’s fiancé’s interest in Nayab’s case. Asad seemed quite concerned for Nayab & he also questioned Haya’s insensitivity towards her best friend. This scene made me feel that may be in the future both Mannat & Asad might be on a same page in regards to Nayab. Also, I don’t think they have so far revealed Asad’s profession, not sure if he’s going to be the lawyer who will fight this case, but going by the actor who is playing the role of Asad, I am not sure if they will give such an important role to a supporting character, but yes, he might end up helping Mannat, you never know. Anyways, this was one important thing that I found worth mentioning in this episode because it does look like along with Sadiq, Mannat might get Asad’s support too.
Closing Thoughts – High Time To Move The Story Forward:
Overall, this episode of Cheekh was slow & I really think they should take the story forward where Mannat makes up her mind to get Wajih behind bars. They have taken their sweet time in establishing all the facts & have given us enough insight into all the characters so its high time for some action. My favourite scene from this episode of Cheekh was the opening scene where Ramzan visits police station & Amir, while trying to burp is kind of ridiculing Ramzan while sympathizing with him. That entire scene was directed & acted brilliantly. Nayyer Ejaz is a phenomenal actor & I am enjoying his antics because he brings a comic relief to this otherwise melodrama & this kind of humour is right up my alley. I must say Noor ul Hassan is such a convincing actor, in all of his scenes tonight he made me feel so much for Ramzan’s character, he has given this character such a realistic treatment which is so impctful. Anyways, the preview of next episode did seem promising but I am not too sure if I should get excited because they tend to be misleading too but seeing Wajih in jail was a good sight. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Cheekh.
