Amir Liaquat Leaves Bol TV!

Amir Liaquat has become a very well known personality of Pakistan; he is a television host and former politician.

Till last night, he could be seen on Bol News hosting “Aisa Nahi Chale Ga” .However, he announced his resignation from Bol yesterday in the same show.

After a patriotic speech, Amir Liaquat said:

This is my last program and you (audience) will not see me again on Bol TV.

It was clearly a surprise announcement by the host as he was cut off as soon as he announced his resignation. He seemed to be apologizing for hurting anyone by his decision before the transmission of Bol News was terminated.

The former member of National Assembly was serving as the Executive President BOL News Network when he decided to part ways with them.The reasons behind quitting the channel have not been disclosed so far by the TV anchor, who joined the channel in 2016. Till now, he has remained silent on his twitter account regarding the announcement too.

Speculations have begun on whether or not he is going to join Geo News again or even try his luck on the new news channel, Hum News.

Ghairat Episode 4 Review – Going Strong!

Ghairat continues to be an interesting play which is not only highlighting the mentality behind honor killings but it is also doing so without putting the viewers to sleep. I have watched a lot of shows highlighting social issues recently therefore I wasn’t sure whether another play which focuses on the ill-treatment of women in our society would hold my interest or not but so far Ghairat definitely fits the bill. The story has been logical and well-paced, I especially like the way it has been directed. The fact that all the actors have been performing well also helps since there are very few dramas which have an entire cast of capable actors who fit in well in their respective roles. The fact that Iqra’s mother has not been shown as someone who approves of her son’s action is also a positive aspect of the story and gives hope that she might play a bigger role in bringing her son to justice some day or at least making sure that Saba has a fate different from that of her sister.

Ghairat Episode 4 Review - Going Strong!

The story took an unpredictable but realistic turn with this episode. I was expecting Usman’s mother to bail him out but his brother in laws contacts ultimately got him out of jail. This development was convincing because unfortunately murderers and rapists are bailed out by influential people all the time. Shagufta apparently helped Malik Sahab rig elections, which was another relatable addition to this track! Although, people like Shagufta and Abid seem like regular citizens but they are involved in criminal activities which explains why Usman’s criminal behaviour was readily accepted by them as the right thing to do! There is one thing common between Usman and Shagufta, both of them are controlling and insensitive, they will do anything it takes to get things done the way they want them. Also, their sense of right and wrong is seriously twisted which explains their behaviour even more. Shagufta’s mother’s attitude explains why she is the way she is and several conversations in the previous episodes explained why Usman and Adnan are so narrow-minded and dictating. The upbringing of these individuals has been such that even though they have enough exposure, they have not learned how to be civil and humane.

Ghairat Episode 4 Review - Going Strong!

Saba’s desperation, insecurities and fears were translated flawlessly on screen by Iqra Aziz. The entire situation has been shown realistically. Even though Zohaib and his family want to help Saba and her mother, there isn’t much they can do practically especially after what happened to Iqra, they cannot take the risk. Just like expected, Shagufta wants that Iqra should get married to her brother therefore she will do whatever it takes to keep Zohaib and his family away from the house. It was shocking watching Shagufta narrate the entire incident to her mad husband the instant he got back home! Saman Ansari and Syed Jibran have been phenomenal in their respective roles. Although Syed Jibran has played characters similar to this one in the recent past but even then he adds something new to every character he plays. He was especially brilliant in the scene when Usman wants to hit his mother, this scene was directed superbly too. Samina Ahmed is also an exceptional actress who looks the part every time and breathes life into every character she plays. I recently watched her playing a very different role in Pinjra and she owned it. She is equally convincing as the helpless mother who just lost her daughter but cannot even mourn her loss the way a mother should be allowed to. The most painful aspect of this entire scenario is that the murderer is her own son and she has to continue living with him in the same house.

Junaid’s scenes showed how difficult it was for him to deal with everything that had happened. He has not only lost someone he loved but he also has reason to blame himself for what happened to Iqra. I am waiting to see what role his character play in the future since he is no match for Usman. The conversation between Shagufta and Usman’s mother before he came home was one of the best conversations of this episode. It reflected Usman’s mother’s feelings flawlessly and was emotional. It also showed how blind Shagufta was when it came to her husband’s deeds.

Overall, this episode was brilliant throughout. So far, Ghairat has a strong script which has been executed well. The preview of the next episode showed Usman threatening Zohaib and Saba’s mother telling her to be strong. I am waiting to see how the story unfolds from here on.

How many of you watched this latest episode? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it.

Sajal Aly’s Picture Sparks Controversy On Social Media

Sjal Aly has managed to stay in limelight, sometimes due to her innocent looks and other times due to her alleged relationship with Feroze Khan. Recently, she was partying with her friends in Karachi and it turned out to be another complete case of social media controversy. Though, this time the reason has us all mind-boggled.

Sajal Aly's Picture Sparks Controversy On Social Media

So, you see this picture of Sajal Aly? This is what erupted the fire. As soon as the picture was posted by a local magazine, people started claiming that the actress was “high” or was “drunk”. On the other hand, some sane people managed to convey the fact that it might have been a lightening effect or just her eyes parted.

Nonetheless, here are the popular social media reactions:

Shaniera Akram Is A Proud Pakistani & She Has Proved It

Since the day Shaniera Akram married Waseem Akram, she has been living a life of pure Pakistani. Her patriotic nature has made her an eye candy of all. Just recently, she was targeted for being ‘White’ and was accused that no matter what she do she can’t be honest to Pakistan.

Shaniera Akram Is A Proud Pakistani & She Has Proved It

Upon coming across such remark, Shaniera showed great patience and proved that no matter what people say, love comes out from the heart and that she loves Pakistani no matter what her race is.

Pakistani and Indian National Anthem Sung Together is Winning Hearts!

Pakistanis are celebrating their Independence day today, on 14 of August and Indians will be celebrating their Independence day tomorrow, on 15 of August.

It is no surprise that even after 70 years there is still bad blood between the two countries and are even known as arch rivals; Kashmir issue is one of their biggest differences. And so the peace efforts that are made by people of either country are greatly appreciated and recognized.

Recently, ‘Voice of Ram’, a humanitarian Facebook page just released a video featuring the Pakistani National Anthem and the Indian National Anthem sung by singers from both countries and this mash up of both the anthems is going viral.

The video begins with the words, “When we open our borders to art, peace comes along.” And it closes with the words, “Let’s stand together for peace”.

Filmmaker and activist Ram Subramanian, who heads Voice of Ram, told Indian site Catch News that he made the videos “because a lot of people are afraid to speak about peace, and it’s an illogical fear”.

Pepsi Battle Of The Bands Episode 3- Exhausted Judges!

0

Episode three of Battle Of The Bands was a double elimination episode. Two bands were eliminated from the final 8 leaving behind only 6 bands. The final judges panel was finally showcased in the episode. The judges for the coming episodes will be Atif Aslam, Meesha Shafi, Fawad Khan and Shahi Hassan.

Pepsi Battle Of The Bands Episode 3- Exhausted Judges!

First of all I’ll talk about hosting today. Since this is the Battle Of The Bands it is meant to be exciting; meant being the operative word here. Thus the host also tries to portray herself overly excited which only comes forward as a portrayal. Ayesha is constantly making a squinted eye expression with strong stressing on every second word. Her hosting was a bit annoying as it seemed forced. Yes she had taken off her beautiful earrings in the middle of the episode in case you were wondering.?

Pepsi Battle Of The Bands Episode 3- Exhausted Judges!

Judges took their seats and the show began. Throughout the episode judges looked extremely exhausted. Remember the last classes of the day when you didn’t want to hear a single word but you had to sit there? Yes that was the case with judges. Only Fawad was a bit awake or maybe he was playing the first bencher in the lot. The bands had worked really hard and had tried to give their hundred percent. But I think the judges should have tried a bit hard hard on judging. They said the same thing to everyone nearly except Shajr; Shajr got some different type of comments. Fawad is a fan of Badtameez playing as he puts it as it is the only word he ever uses to complement the players but still he was the best in this episode because he looked awake and attentive.

Pepsi Battle Of The Bands Episode 3- Exhausted Judges!

The bands performed really well today. They were asked to perform their favourite songs today. Darwesh’s Allah Hi Dega and Badnaam’s Kala Jora were the best in the episode. Kashmir gave a tribute to Aamir Zaki by performing Mera Pyar and their performance was very soothing. All other bands got YOU WERE GOOD signs by the judges too as they were not into criticizing. It seems the makers or maybe the judges want to keep the show positive but atleast the judges should breakdown performances so the audience could know why are they liking someone and why are they eliminating a band. The incoordination between music and vocals of Shajr was felt by the judges today though they should have figured it out in the auditions and may have given chance to Khamaaj or Ehl e Rock instead. Aura’s journey also ended today though judges had said good things about their performance too.

Atif is finally here and he performed a new song in the episode named Yaad Tehari. It gave very Jalpari feels and was a treat for the audience. The show’s atmosphere as whole is very dull and they should have worked a bit more on the excitement factor too and not just only on advertising.

Pakistani Christian Community Sings A National Song

Pakistan was created in the name of Islam but is also very tolerant and accepting of other religions. Our flag’s colors are green and white – the color green takes the major portion of the flag and represents the Muslims of Pakistan, while the colour white represents the minority religions and minority communities.

Our Christian brothers and sisters are as much Pakistanis as a Muslim Pakistani. Religion, caste or creed does not define nationality. They have the same patriotism with Pakistan as a Muslim Pakistani and you can see their patriotism in a national song they sang for the 70th Anniversary of their beloved country:

This cover is being greatly appreciated on social media.

Quaid-e-Azam once said “There is no power that can undo Pakistan” and that can only be true if we all stick together as a united nation. A very Happy Independence Day to all Pakistanis, especially our minority communities!

Top Pakistani Celebrities Who Lost Their Weight And Look Great!

0

People want to lose weight for many reasons, including to improve their quality of life, improve their health or regain a sense of control. Improved appearance or vanity is the second most cited reason for wanting to lose weight next only to health. In case of celebrities, this reason is probably more important than to general public. Celebrities nearly always have a camera on them, recording their every appearance from head to toe. Thanks to Web 2.0, celebrities are bombarded by feedback not only from media agencies but from the people in seconds after a picture of them is posted online by the use of the double edged sword called as social media. Today we are going to bring into light some of the Pakistani celebrities who have shed some weight and look great now:

 

Agha Ali Reveals a Secret of Actresses in Live Show

0

Why are secrets called secrets? Because they are not for anyone to know other than the person that has been entrusted with the information. Agha Khan seemed to have missed that important lesson or just ignored it in this case. He spilled all the beans in Nida Yasir’s show and his way of explaining the “secret” was so hilarious that even the host and her audience couldn’t stop laughing. It’s safe to say that the actresses who work with him in the future will be more mindful of sharing their “secrets”. It is to be noted that the actor wasn’t serious  and was just having some fun. But if his fun involves spilling secrets of his fellow celebrities then we definitely would like to see more fun interviews of him!

70 Years of Patriotic Songs!

A very happy Independence day to all Pakistanis across the globe. It has been 70 years since India got divided into two halves and a new country by the name of Pakistan was born. Millions of lives were lost to achieve a safe haven for the Muslims of India. We have come a long way since then.

Let’s be honest, there are so many things that we complain about our country day to day. But here’s also a fact that we usually fail to acknowledge; all the flaws that we observe are the result of our collective doings, or I should say ill-doings, as a nation.However, we complain because we expect better from our beloved homeland because we know it can be better. But even in the most critical moods, there is still a lot of love and respect for our country in our hearts. Yes, that’s what we call patriotism and nothing brings out patriotism more that national, patriotic songs. And today, on the celebration of the 70th Birthday of Pakistan, we have compiled a list of some the most hit national songs that have been produced by our artists over the years:

We are still progressing, Shukar Alhamdullilah, but our pace has slowed down. Being Pakistani, it’s our responsibility to try our level best to contribute in the development and progress of Pakistan in whatever way we can. We owe it to those who sacrificed their lives for this country.

Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua Episode 7 Review – Reality Check!

“Cheat krne wale ko kuch nahi milta aur mil bhi jaye tu izzat nahi milti!”

This episode focused on Maya and Saif; it showed how Saif had no choice but to do exactly what Muzna and her father wanted him to do and this came as a rude shock to Maya who was expecting that her divorce would be the beginning of a new life. Maya anticipated something entirely different and gradually the reality of her situation is hitting her hard. Even now she will do anything to be with Saif because she took all these crazy decisions so that she could be with him and right now she is not willing to accept all those things she has heard about Saif even though he hasn’t exactly been “welcoming”. The viewers also found out Maya and Saif’s background story. Maya did not go running back to Saif the second he apologized but he worked hard to prove his love to her. She couldn’t have imagined that he had other ulterior motives.

Maya has been extremely selfish and she doesn’t deserve better because like Siraj uncle said cheaters don’t get very far! It looked like Maya had already started questioning her actions. When she was talking to Baila about Lubna, she said that it was because of her that she ended up telling Faris about Saif. When Baila said that she should be thankful to her for that, there was an awkward silence before she replied! This showed that she wasn’t really thankful to her since she did not get what she wanted as a result of the divorce. Maya’s state of mind was translated faultlessly on screen by Ayeza Khan. The character has been etched-out brilliantly too. Even with all her weaknesses and flaws, you can’t help but understand her character.

Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua Episode 7 Review - Reality Check!

Saif and Muzna’s scenes on the contrary were completely ruined by both the actors. I thought I would never say this about Zahid Ahmed because he always performs so well but in this particular drama his character does not only lack the charisma he promised it had but it also does not have an ounce of authenticity mainly due to the lackluster performance. The actress playing Muzna’s character is just plain wooden! She delivers her dialogues with absolutely no emotions or expressions therefore although her character could have been interesting, it is an eye-sore because of the way it has been translated on screen. Saif and Muzna’s situation is actually interesting but both the actors have failed to do justice to their respective roles.

Faris, Siraj Uncle and Dariya’s scenes on the other hand are always refreshing and impactful. Sami Khan, Rehan Sheikh and Mansha Pasha have nailed their characters. They have translated their characters in such a beautiful manner that you can’t help looking forward to their scenes. Although all these characters did not get a lot of screen time in tonight’s episode but just like every other episode, their scene was meaningful and they made their presence felt. Dariya’s character has been written brilliantly, I don’t remember the last time we saw such a character in Pakistani drama. She is not hoping that Faris might ask her to stay and she is making the most of her time while she is in the office as opposed to investing her energies into winning over Faris in some way. She is there for him like a friend even though she loves him.

The change in Maya’s mother’s attitude in this episode was also easy to connect too although Farah Shah too seems to overact at times but overall so far Zahid Ahmed and the actress playing Muzna are the weakest links in the drama. Even with its slow pace I find this drama interesting and the director deserves tons of credit for making it aesthetically pleasing. He has paid attention to minor details and has extracted some really good performances from most of the actors.

How many of you watched this episode? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it.

Who says Indians and Pakistanis need to be enemies? Arch nemesis of one another? The two countries separated nearly 70 years ago. Both the countries took different directions since then. So why the bad blood?

An Indian acapella band proved that both countries can be friends if they want to be. The acapella band sang Pakistan’s national anthem and dedicated it to Pakistan as a gift for its 70th Birthday. Isn’t that a heartwarming gesture?

The video begins with a heart-felt message reading, ‘This is our way of wishing you, Happy Birthday Pakistan.’

The efforts of this Indian band is being appreciated greatly by Pakistanis on social media but let’s be honest, that was to be expected. However, now a lot of people are stating that the version that the Indian band has made is better than Coke Studio’s rendition!

Have a listen to what our Indian friends came up with:

Now, give a listen to the Coke Studio version:

Regardless of which one you prefer, we appreciate both their efforts!

Pakistan’s biggest province in terms of area is Balochistan. However, unfortunately it is the most behind in terms of development. The Balochistan film industry is the most neglected industry of all the provinces.

According to the producers the film “Sangat” will be the very first of its kind. It is an upcoming contemporary production of Baloch cinema. The producer Waheed Albushi, further said he and his team is looking forward to revive cinema in the province.

He rightly pointed out the development that is required by the Balochistan film Industry.

Though the Pakistani film industry is undergoing a revival of sorts, the Balochistan film industry has yet to develop as there is a dearth of the filmmakers here.

He further shared his grievances saying that the cinemas are being converted to shopping malls.

In the last few years, four out of the seven cinemas in Quetta have been closed down due to lack of productions.

The movie’s plot revolves around the story of five friends and involves a lot of drama and action sequences.

It was filmed in Oman, and was made with a budget of Rs 3 million.

Albulshi further added that plan to release the film nationwide as well as in Gulf states is under works, and that it will premiere in Balochistan in the “coming weeks”.

The director of the film, Sami Sarang , in an interview to a local news agency, said that he wants to portray a different side of Balochistan through this film. He also shared what he hopes to achieve with this film,

We are hoping to lay down a foundation and build a strong film industry so that the young Baloch talent has a platform to showcase their skills.

Raat Ka Nasha From PNJG Features Ushna Shah

Punjab Nahi Jaungi has to be the most heavily marketed movie of today. Releasing On Eid ul Azha, they have already started the pre-booking. Ary films have been releasing promos and teasers of the movie as well its official songs which have served well to increase its anticipation among the public.

Today a new song from the movie has been released called Raat Ka Nasha.  It’s lyrics are by Ahmed Ali Butt and the vocals are by Damia, Rizwan and Ahmed Ali Butt.

The song features Ushna Shah all glammed  up in a western outfit ready to dance the night away with Azfar Rehman which she does fabulously in the video. Mehwish Hayat is looking gorgeous as well but she appears to be lost in her thoughts and and an unsaid and unheard conversation is being carried out between her and Humayun Saeed while the whole world goes around them singing and dancing in what appears to be a night club.

Watch Sahir Lodhi Getting Insecure On His Show

Sahir Lodhi, the self acclaimed Shahrukh Khan of our industry makes sure he remains in the news for one reason or the other. He is unprecedented in doing the oddest of antics on every public platform that he gets the chance to grace.

Last week on The Sahir Lodhi Show, he had invited the cast of Chain Aye Na and it was kind of a promotional show with clips from the movie and its songs.

To end it all, there was a dancing segment at the conclusion of the show. The guests of the show especially Behroz Sabzwari were dancing enthusiastically, when Sahir suddenly realised that it is his very own one man show and he just cannot let anyone.. anyone at all steal the stage. So hyper he goes, dancing wildly in the centre of all the people. His steps would put Nargis to shame. So much so that the other guests were kind of intimidated by this over the top performance and their moves become slower and slower as they gaped at Sahir of The Sahir Lodhi Show dancing on Afghan Jalebi song.

In case you have not had anything hilarious happening this Saturday, we present to you Sahir Lodhi ;
