The end of the Holy month of Ramazan is marked by the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. It is one of the most celebrated occasion that is awaited by Muslims throughout the year. The fasts that Muslims observe during the Holy Month of Ramazan is rewarded by the celebrations of Eid. Our national heroes, expressed their love for the occasion and wished Eid to the fellow muslims in this way:
With the advent of so many TV channels in Pakistan, their is an intense competition for ratings and viewings and everyone wants to get ahead. This Eid was no exception regarding the immense number of TV programs that were aired.
Since Eid is all about dressing up and meeting friends and family, or the first day is atleast, we have compiled a list of good shows that aired the on the first day. In case, you wanted to catch up;
1. Good morning Pakistan (Nida Yasir)
This one was quite a grand affair, the theme ofcourse being mehrunnisa v lub u by Yasir Nawaz.

Reema and Moammar Rana were the guests here and with Azizi asa host, you are sure to get good laughs out of your hour watching this.

Yalghaar the most anticipated movie is co-produced by Sana Bucha. She has transitioned from a journalist to an actress and producer. Recently Sana talked to Images about her movie and this is what she said.
Images: First things first, Yalghaar releases after almost three years in production. Do you think that affects the film’s treatment and execution?
Sana Bucha: I feel the biggest compliment for a film is the viewers to not realise the intermission and from what I’ve heard, the film has a very fast pace, so it doesn’t really lack on any production level. I believe since there are forty integral parts in the film, it wasn’t as easy putting them all together. It’s tough getting dates for people like Shaan, Humayun and Ayesha and then Bilal had to be trained extensively for his part as well.
Also, we had to shoot at cantonment areas, demanding specific forces to act as extras; their availability was also a concern that caused delays in the shoot – we weren’t procrastinating without any reason. Permission was needed to shoot at certain locations and it had to be in accordance to actors’ availability as well. I am not a fan of having a film release after three years of production, but I understand.
Images: Yalghaar marks your acting debut. Take us through your journey with the film as its female lead
SB: It is my acting debut, but I’m not sure if that’s what I want it to be. I was initially a journalist-turned-film producer; I started out as that and I wanted to learn everything first-hand. So with Yalghaar, my part became bigger from what it was. It’s a small, yet significant character. I don’t know if it’ll be able to leave a mark, or if the hoopla surrounding it is as huge as it should be.
I basically play a journalist in the film, which I already am [in real life]. In fact, since I’ve actually covered the Swat operation, I’ve seen real blood instead of fake. In a way, I was familiar with what the film demanded and it was actually nothing compared to what it actually was. The real thing was scary to say the least; to see actual dead bodies and pain, whereas we shot with controlled emotions.
Images: Do you think owing to that reason your performance was more natural compared to the other actors’ in the film?
SB: Who am I to say? I don’t think I have superiority over anyone in the film. However, like I said we were shooting in a controlled environment, where everything was naturally a lot better. All in all, it wasn’t difficult for me to get into the game. One simply cannot compare a film to the coverage of an operation on live TV.
Images: You also play Shaan Shahid’s love interest in the film. How was your experience sharing the screen with him?
SB: You know you get to hear so much about Shaan, but when you meet him and you’re able to connect with him at an intellectual level, you find an institution in him. As a co-star, he made me feel so comfortable. I think to look lovingly and show public affection was the most difficult for me to do and he made it all so easy.
Images: Reportedly, Shaan refused to be a part of the film’s promotions and rumor had it that he only has a cameo in the film. What do you have to say about that?
SB: He is the hero by default. People will buy tickets for him. Something had gone wrong with the way Doc unveiled the trailer and announced that the film belongs to the antagonist instead of the hero. Even though Humayun might even have more scenes, we can’t really glorify evil if it doesn’t develop into good. The antagonist has to die and be defeated. You can empathise with a villain, but he can’t carry the brand of the film, especially when it deals with sensitive issues like Yalghaar does. I think what he said, could’ve been rephrased. I love Humayun, but I really missed Shaan at the promotions.
Images: With an ensemble star cast like Yalghaar’s, do you think insecurities on and off sets can be rationalised?
SB: As far as I’m concerned, I personally don’t have a lot of scenes with the girls, but I was present at two other spells as the producer. And I would’ve actually worried if the actors didn’t know where they were heading or if there was no competition. However, there was nothing ungraceful on the sets, no clawing at each other.
I feel Ayesha has the most significant role in the film and you see the actor in her come out. She’s worked really hard; she’s truly put her heart and soul into the film and had a very challenging role. I feel Aleeze Nasser also had a few very important scenes. They both had characters that demanded good acting. As for others, they didn’t quite have acting-driven roles. You see, you need to know that not everyone can, sometimes having a small role in a huge film is fine.
Images: Do you think Yalghaar’s delay and your production; Quettagetting shelved has adversely affected your production house?
SB: We knew how risky it was since Quetta was naturally based on Balochistan entirely because of security concerns, we weren’t able to release it. Nonetheless, it was a passion project that I am glad I did. I wanted to start small, and acting wasn’t something I was considering.
But then, when you do a film, you do want publicity attached to it and while Yalghaar’s timings really did hamper my future plans, I am waiting to see what advantage or damage it has to do. I have no clue of how it will turn out to be and the feeling of not knowing is frightening.
Images: What kind of films do you wish to take up and do you have anything concrete in the pipeline as of yet?
SB: I think we need political, intelligent films. Narrate stories through the eyes of a journalist and perhaps expose a few people in the process [laughs]. I want to make films that are commercial, yet message-oriented; something along the lines of Raajneeti or 3 Idiots. I feel, Yalghaar in that regard has been a stepping stone for me. I’ve studied journalism and I didn’t go to film school, so I know I do have somewhat of an experience. I know the gene-pool now and it will only help.
I do have two films that are currently in pre-production. We’ll start rolling the first one this September. I already have a very talented Indian actress on board who we will be announcing officially very soon. We have Tooba Siddiqui playing a very important role in one of the two. I am also trying to get a hold of Fawad Khan but I guess he’s already committed to Maula Jatt. Let’s just hope we’re able to have star-studded films come your way.
Images: Lastly, for people who haven’t seen Yalghaar, what can an average cine-goer expect?
SB: It’s a patriotic film, it has great production value and something that I always say is that it’s not Waar. While there is the Talibaan factor, here the storyline is more about the people who end their lives for us. It just comes to us as a news report; we never know them as people or what they’ve left behind. We empathise with Mashal Khan or Qandeel Baloch because we’ve been repeatedly told about them; Yalghaar celebrates the unsung military heroes.
I’m grateful I could give my little contribution to this beautiful tribute. These young men are not just pictures, they’re not faceless. Let’s meet these beautiful people who’ve done so much for us. Allow yourself to feel what they go through; put yourself in their and their loved ones’ shoes. Forget the scenes and the mistakes; what’s most important is what the film conveys.
Sana is the CEO of “Sana Bucha Productions”. Well one thing is clear from the interview there was definitely a spat between Shaan and Dr. Rana. What do you think?
Eid is a day of sweets and family and friends and mehndi and chooriyan and ghoomna phirna for all Muslims alike, and that is what your favourite celebs are doing as well.
Here is some information abut how most of them are enjoying themselves this eid;
Sanam Jung is in Malaysia with her family, spending some quality bonding time with her daughter;
Urwa and Farhan Saeed had the best idea among all stars and spent their day with orphans, and got themselves some serious appreciation in this world and an investment in the next..
Mawra Hoccane shared pictures of the amazing food she is having with her friends and family as she attended her best friend’s nikah ceremony.
So we have just seen episode 8 of zakham and honestly, except for Madiha Imam’s character and her powerful performance, we are just going around in circles here. There was no development at all in the drama except maybe showing Khabarovsk even longer than we first thought and his sister more evil than previously shown and Takbeer’s dad even more unreasonable than depicted earlier.
The only strong point of the episode was when Takbeer rose her voice and refused to apologise to Khawar when three stupidly egoistic men were verbally pouncing on her. They had her cornered but she still stood her ground, for which she was absolutely correct. The way Khawar insulted her mother and banned her from coming to their house again, was enough for any self respecting girl to want to leave that man. But alas, Khawar unfortunately holds the trump card at the moment. He knows how blindly her father trusts him and not his own flesh and blood. Later, when her father was shown regretting being so harsh, failed to strike a chord since he should be more supportive of her daughter when she needs it, rather than feeling sick with his own mistreatment of her in her absence.
And as to why Moosa was standing on the road in front of their car and how they flared in anger on seeing him was beyond my comprehension. How did they judge he is still after Takbeer? Because he is walking on the road when they are coming back from her house? Takbeer’s father and brother are almost at par with Khawar in their stupidness. Maybe even more since he proved to be quite crafty with his pretense as the meek, humble and wronged husband infront of them and they fell fully for it. Later, when Takbeer came out of the bath in distress and Khawar tried to kill the baby was not impressive at all. Faisal Qureshi did not do any wonders to the scene or maybe by now, Khawar is such a disgusting character that even Faisal does not seem likeable anymore.
The only high points of the drama were Takbeer’s behaviour infront of these oppressive men in her family and her conversation with her mother. When she asked her mother as to why she never inquired about her older sister’s anguish in this house, there was a mutual jolt of pain that passed between them and without saying it aloud or blaming anyone, mother and daughter yearned and grieved for Tehreem, silently acknowledging what she must have endured.
One funny thing was that Takbeer’s mother came to meet them the next day and Ahmed was as good as new. No sign of the bandage or wound that created such upheaval in both houses just a night before.
Hope the drama picks any pace now, we have understood quite well that Khawar has a mental illness, Takbeer’s elder brother and father are hopelessly chauvinistic and Moosa’s heart is in the right place but he has no strategy for saving Takbeer which her really wants to do. For last three episodes, drama is roaming around these three facts…
In this era of social media and high speed internet, life has become viral generally and celebrities particularly. This eid is no exception as they share their eid greetings with special messages to their fans through the most popular social networking sites. Here, have a look;
Seems like they have all had a wonderful time with family and friends. Hope you have had a great first day and all set for an even better second and third days.
Today was the auspicious day of Eid which is blessed upon Muslims after Ramadan. Pakistanis celebrated the day and our celebrities were also not behind with their mehendi, bangles and in case of men kurtay on fleek. Take a look at your favourite celebrities that what they wore and how they looked for their Eid day!

The video is directed by Ali Sethi and Taimoor Salahuddin Aka Mooroo.
The cast of drama serial, “Alif Allah Aur Insan” appeared on the morning show of Hum TV, “Jago Pakistan Jago” on Eid day. Lets share few glimpses of celebrities on the show.
As we all know Saba Qamar will be essaying the role of Qandeel Baloch in her upcoming project. Rest of the stars joining the project include Hareem Farooq, Osman Khalid Butt and Khalid Malik. Qandeel Baloch was a social media sensation who ill fatedly became a target of honour killing. Her brother killed her due to the controversial videos she made. Sarmad Khoosat will play the role of Qandeel’s brother. Watch the teaser of Baaghi below:
The beautiful celebrity couple, Farhan Saeed and Urwa Hocane celebrated their first Eid after marriage at an orphange. They visited Sirat-ul-Jannah Orphanage and spend some time with the children there. Farhan spotted playing guitar as the couple sing songs with them. However, they also played games and shared gifts with the children.
The glimpses of Farhan and Urwa sharing laughter with the children melt our heart.
A renowned guitarist, finest song writer and remarkable composer, Amir Zaki departed from the world on 2nd June 2017. It was indeed a sad day in the history of Pakistani music. He had been a part of Pakistani pop music during 1990s. My ears still echo with his beautiful musical pieces and songs, specially “mera pyaar tumhi ho”. The song which has been part of my playlist for years. My heart wrecks and fails to accept the fact that one more precious gem of our Pakistani music industry has been lost.
In 1995, Amir Zaki earned prominent position in pop music when his famous song “Mera Pyaar” was released. The song became a sensation and received a definite position in all music charts of television and radio. This song was a part of his first album “Signature” which was a major hit.
Amir Zaki, as a talent was first recognized by Alamgir, a living legend of our music industry. He also played guitar for Alamgir’s famous songs “keh de na” and “Albera Rahi”. Later he formed three rock bands named “Barbarians”, “Axe Attack” and “Scratch”. He recorded first English album in the history of Pakistan with his band Axe Attack. The name of the album was “The Bomb” but unfortunately most of the music companies of the county refused to release it. Later he made an album named “Signature” bearing majority of instrumentals. However, one Urdu and two English songs were also included in it.
His second musical album “Rough Cut” was released in collaboration with popular Pakistani pop singer Hadiqa Kiyani in 2007. The songs of the album were in English and perhaps failed to get mainstream attention for this reason.
Amir Zaki toured extensively with Alamgir. He contributed immensely in Pakistani music during 1990s when pop music industry was booming. If we shed light upon the history of pop music of Pakistan, we cannot stop ourselves from recalling Nazia Hassan and Zohaib Hassan, the heartthrob musicians who gained popularity across entire South Asia. Later, some more pop bands appeared on the screen and driven the popularity of pop music across the globe. Vital Signs, Junoon, Awaaz are the few Pakistani pop bands which became popular during 1990s and Amir Zaki was a part of most of the famous songs of that time. He did a lot of international tours with Vital Signs and Junoon as well.
He was a talented musician who could play different genres of music ranging from blues, jazz, rock to classical. Despite having small number of music releases, he managed to create an ever-lasting impression on our music industry. When his famous song “Mera Pyaar” was released, the music charts were flooded with some top pop songs and bhangra numbers of Awaaz, Yasir Akhtar, Waqar Ali, Fakhr-e-Alam and many more. in contrast, “Mera Pyaar” was simple, soft and serene composition and therefore gained everyone’s attention.
He was never into lime lights of television but he has played in numerous concerts and jamming sessions. He was seen jamming in Café Blue, Karachi very often, and has also played in Karajazz festival. Throughout his life he preferred to play exclusively for fans who enjoy and appreciate live music.
His long-awaited debut in Coke Studio was in Season 7, in which he played tremendous guitar pieces for singers Asraar and Zohaib Hassan. The melodic and instrumental fusion of Zaki’s music stole the show. He was also seen in action during “I am Karachi music festival”, that was thoroughly enjoyed by his die-heart fans.
He was a true inspiration for our music lovers and guitar players. He was a trend setter, many young people started playing guitar after watching his performances in live sessions. He wasn’t a mainstream artist and his work is more acknowledged by a niche audience, who are more familiar to the type of music he played.
He was among the top-notch musicians of our country. His sudden death has deprived our music industry from a versatile artist who had command on an array of different music forms. He has adapted both eastern and western styles of melodies and has brought a perfect blend of both to us. No other name than Amir Zaki comes to mind when we talk about the fusion of different styles of music. He will always be remembered as the most influential music artist in the history of Pakistani music.
I am glad that this drama did not have a tragic ending and all the characters in the end found their respective destinations. I was however expecting this episode to be slightly more dramatic and I definitely missed Salima tonight. I am not going to go into the details since I am sure a lot of people haven’t watched this last episode just yet but I have to say that I loved the last scene of this episode, it was exactly like the first scene of this drama but things were completely different at this point. Chaudhry’s track did not have the dramatic ending we were all hoping it would have but ultimately it all boiled down to someone more powerful asserting his influence and getting things done by Chaudhry Nawaz in an entirely different way. I liked the addition of this new character in the end because it showed that not everyone at helm of affairs was like Chaudhry Nawaz. The way Chandni apologized to Sammi had to be the most poignant scene of this episode.
I have to admit that after watching the first few episodes of Sammi, I wasn’t actually blown away but it was the kind of drama which gradually grew on me for a number of reasons. The most important reason why watching Sammi and reviewing it has been an unforgettable experience is that after a long time I watched a drama which touched a lot of issues which truly matter especially in a time when most dramas focus only on one subject, it was a pleasure watching a drama like Sammi which tackled with number of important issues in an effective manner. The writer and director’s strong grip on all these tracks and their understanding of all the situations which were shown in the drama was the primary reason why I always found it easy to connect to all the characters and their stories. Every character had a story to tell and all these stories served a bigger purpose. They were meaningful and showed problems faced by women from different angles. I am glad that the writer did not stick to the theme of vanni alone but explored so many other topics. Whether it was Zarina, Zulekha, Salima, Naheed, Rashid, Chaudhry, Aalyan, Salar, Chandi, Naheed’s brother, Shahzaib, Waqas, Riaz, Ghulam Rasool and even Salima’s daughters, all these characters showed a certain mindset that exists not only in the remote areas but even in some of the most posh areas of our society.
The most beautiful aspect of Sammi were all the beautifully etched-out characters which translated their stories on screen so flawlessly that the messages they were putting forward were loud, clear and effective. Even the negative characters in the story were there for a reason and the writer used these characters to explain the reasons why these people feel the need to control and oppress others. Chaudhry Nawaz’s character was one such character and his son’s character showed how one person like Aalyan could change so much! Chaudhry Nawaz carried the legacy which his forefathers left behind, he never had reason to question the system because it suited his needs but his son was taught to put human beings above everything else, this lesson changed his entire perspective. What a beautiful message this was! It did not only show the change one person could bring about but it also showed the real purpose behind education. Zarina was another such person who was doing what everyone before her did until she had a reason to question the system. She also raised a son with slave mentality but when her son’s life was in danger, she started questioning all those pre-conceived notions. Same was the case with Rashid. Sammi’s story also changed only after she started questioning things around her. In my opinion all these tracks contained the message that we don’t always have to accept things the way they are, questioning the system and things which do not seem right is sometimes the first step in the right direction.
I can go on and on about all the wonderful messages this drama had but one message which most certainly stood out more than others for me was the way the writer asserted the importance of a woman’s consent during nikkah. I personally feel that this was the need of the hour since we see so many dramas nowadays in which forced nikkahs are readily accepted and are now a bad precedent being followed by many writers. The writer made this message even more powerful by showing the maulvis standing by women and repeatedly emphasizing just how many rights women have under Islamic law. It was refreshing watching these religious people stating these things in a very logical manner. I am glad the writer’s approach was very logical hence convincing.
The director Saife Hassan deserves due credit for executing Noor-ul-Huda Shah’s brilliant script faultlessly. The locations and the overall feel of the drama gave the story a more realistic touch. Also, it isn’t easy handling a script with so many different tracks but he did complete justice to all these tracks by giving them all ample screen time. I can’t appreciate the producers enough for investing in a project which had tons of educational value and did not bank on glamour to entice the viewers. All the actors involved (with the exception of Mawra Hocane) breathed tangible life into their respective characters by looking and playing the role impressively. Unfortunately, Mawra Hocane failed to do justice to her character and was the only actor who looked out of place because she looked and sounded too modern. Sammi’s track also had a powerful message but I believe that Naheed and even Rashid and Salima’s track was much more effective overall therefore many viewers who watched this drama hoping this would be Sammi’s story alone were disappointed. It was made quite clear in the first few episodes that the drama would be about much more than the story of one girl but even then some viewers did not tune into the show after watching the first few episodes because Sammi’s track alone wasn’t appealing enough. Also, this drama as a whole had enough substance to attract the viewers and could hold its ground even if it wasn’t named after one character.
Adnan Siddiqui played his character superbly, he always showed the soft side of Rashid even when he was supposed to be a bad guy which is why later on the change in his character was more believable. His overall look, dialogue delivery and body language was perfect throughout. Saman Ansari is turning out to be an amazing addition to the drama industry, she is continuously experimenting by opting for roles which are very different from one another and so far has been part of some really good projects. I absolutely loved the honesty and dedication with which Seemi Raheel played the role of Zarina. The fact that she has the perfect Punjabi accent definitely helped. Rehan Sheikh is another powerful actor who never disappoints the viewers. Chaudhry’s character was an important one for many reasons and no other actor could have played this role better than Rehan Sheikh. Naheed’s role was a difficult one to enact on screen but Nadia Afghan translated different shades of Naheed’s character perfectly right from the get-go. She portrayed Naheed’s insecurities, fears and most importantly her strengths effortlessly. Bilal Khan brought out the best in his character and made Aalyan’s character one of the best in this play. Everything about Bilal Khan’s portrayal was perfect, I hope we get to see him playing more inspiring roles in the future too. Haris Waheed proved just how versatile he is by nailing his role. Irfan Khoosat, Humera Ali, Beena Chaudhry and Malik Raza also played their roles really well. Sania Saeed and Ahad Raza Mir‘s performances as well as their on screen chemistry made their track even more powerful and easy to relate to. Madiha Rizvi is a personal favorite who always performs well and this had to be one of the best performances she has given in recent times. She completely owned her role as a woman who went from looking out for her own interests to someone who knew there was more at stake than her marriage or her child’s future. The child actor playing the chota chaudhry was also impressive throughout and his character was also interesting, especially the changes he went through were shown really well. The actress who played the role of Maryam also had great screen presence and I loved how her entire outlook fit so perfectly in the role.
Thank you team Sammi for all your hard work and for giving us an amazing play. I would especially like to thank all those wonderful people who read the reviews every week and shared their thoughts here, I truly value your feedback and look forward to it. Do share your thoughts about this last episode and the drama as a whole.
Eid Mubarak to everyone. Hope all of you have a wonderful Eid.

Bilal and Uroosa Qureshi shared pictures from Sohaan Qureshi’s first birthday on Instagram and the couple look adorable, so does the birthday boy, Sohaan.
The cast of Yalghaar including Shaan Shahid appeared on Kamran Shahid’s show and Shaan and director Hassan Rana finally answered the controversies surrounding the movie.
Shaan was accompanied by Sana Bucha, Ayesha Omer and Dr. Hassan Rana on the show. When Shaan was questioned about his part in the film he said: “When people stopped making Urdu films, I had to choose between leaving Pakistan or doing Punjabi films. I did the latter. I have always tried to support film industry to save it from decline. People have been saying that I’m not supporting Yalghaar. It’s not a film which has one hero. There is no one person. The entire army is the hero here. I did not want to the person who give people the idea that I’m the hero and I’m doing all the shooting and the saving. It’s like a national responsibility, everyone is sacrificing for it, journalists, citizens and armies.For me, it was a national responsibility. This soil has made me who I am. I have to give something back.”
And then Dr. Hassan cleared the air by saying:“From the very first frame, you will see Shaan. The narrative of this film is lead by Shaan. Sana is asking the tough questions in the film. Ayesha is representing the strong women of Pakistan. Humayun represents the inner evil inside all of us.”
Sana Bucha answered this when she was asked about her transition from journalist to actress:“People have been asking why have I switched journalism for acting. I have given up anchoring, not acting. I’ll forever remain into journalism. I never felt like I was acting, I felt like I was doing what I do.”
Ayesha’s first film was Yalghaar but its release got delayed but Ayesha is happy on being part of such a big film: “The story of the film is very close to our hearts. War films are always about action. Yalghaar touches upon the personal life and emotional side of people associated with this profession. I realized how passionate Doc is and how he is true to his work. For me, it’s a huge honor that I’m doing this film with such huge names.”
The controversies are finally put to rest; thanks to Shaan’s appearance on the interview!
Promotions have started for debut movie of Sajal Ali and Adnan Siddiqui. Due to tensions soaring high between the two neighboring countries; Sajal will not be a part of those promotions but she was appreciated by her co-star and superstar Sridevi for her stellar performance.
During a promotional event Sridevi said: “This film is really special because I get to work with really great actors like Nawaz, Akshay and of course Sajal. She is unbelievable in the movie. She is going to surprise all of you. She is amazing. And it’s great, I learned so much because I was at the shoot all the time on my toes watching them.”
Even producer of the film Boney Kapoor did not hold back and praised the two Pakistani actors: “We have two very talented actors Sajal and Adnan who are unfortunately not here (to promote the film) but their contribution to the film is immense. We miss them today, they have given their best for the film and I am sure we all will like what they have done. I have not put my mind on it as we are finishing the film, the post production is on. They worked on the film and their contribution will remain.”
Sajal is really a very talented actress and hearing that from a superstar like Sridevi the praise becomes even bigger. We hope Sajal’s movie performs well at the box office as the film is releasing on 7th July.
Pehlaaj is all over the television these days. He is the son of famous anchor Iqrar ul Hassan. We have seen him in Ramadan transmissions and Jeeto Pakistan. So Daily Pakistan got in touch with the kid and what followed was the cutest interview ever. Watch it and see how Pehlaaj gives some scoop from his Papa’s singing to his own selfie adventures.
16th December 2014 was a very dark day for our entire nation. In the deadliest slaughter of innocents in Pakistan in years, Taliban gunmen had attacked Army Public School Peshawar killing 141-almost all of them students- before the army troops ended the siege.
This incident had left the nation shocked and angry. However, our nation became united after the unforgiving incident and vowed to not give in to what the terrorists wanted to achieve; make us fear living in Pakistan.
The world condemned the horrifying incident and promised to stand beside Pakistan in its fight against terrorists.
Recently, Dheeraj Jindal, an Indian director, made a short film on the incident. Watch the short film and learn why the name of the film is ‘The School Bag’ :
Leading actress and producer Hareem Farooq will be hosting a television celebrity show titled “Super Stars ka Super Show” this Eid ul Fitr on Hum TV. The show has been shot with beautiful Pakistani celebrities like Azfar Rehman, Ahsan Khan, Sanam Saeed, Osman Khalid Butt and more. The show will be broadcast on first two days of Eid.
In a short span of career, Hareem has already proved her worth as a beautiful television and film actress in the industry. She has also received praise for recently hosting Hum TV awards 2017. Lets have a few glimpses of “Super Stars ka Super Show”.
Maria Wasti and Adnan Siddiqui are both brilliant and very experienced actors of our Entertainment Industry. The duo working together, definitely guarantees some stellar results and we will be able observe this on our TV screens on this Eid in a telefilm they are starring in.
This telefilm features Maria Wasti in a comic role opposite to the talented Adnan Siddiqui in Geo TV’s special telefilm ‘Chalo Chalo Dubai Chalo’. The plot of the show is that a husband and wife (Maria and Adnan) want to leave Pakistan and settle in Dubai. The comedic elements start to appear when Maria Wasti’s character asks Adnan’s to buy her an Eid dress and a bag mix up occurs. The couple ends up getting a bag full of money, instead of one that contains the dress. As expected, gangsters start tracking them down as they try to leave the country with the money bag. The entire exchange is promised to be hilarious by Maria Wasti herself.
In the past, Maria has usually worked on dark, serious and bold roles. She shined through all of these roles and proved how good she is as an actress in all the characters she played. Adnan Siddiqui, however, is no stranger to comedic roles.
With the grand entry of social media, the world has become a global village and communication between individuals has never been easier. Using this medium, brilliant love stories are also born. Fans can easily follow their favourite celebrities on these networks and express their appreciation and love through their tweets, comments and messages. Sometimes while scrolling through all these comments, the celebrities end up responding to them.
It is to be noted that the incredible social media stories aren’t limited to only common people. Recently, the famous celebrity Zara Larsson expressed her love for Brian H Whittaker, a model, on Twitter by the following tweet:
They ended up becoming real friends and are reportedly dating now.
This successful love story inspired many twitter users to use the same pickup line including this Pakistani twitter user, who proposed to the cricketer Ahmad Shahzad.
So she tweeted to Shehzad, asking him “Who are you where do you live how old are you why are you so fine how do you like your eggs cooked in the morning?” Now, if you think something good happened after this tweet…you will be greatly disappointed as the cricket star ended up blocking the girl in response!
Her final tweet was “What did I do wrong?” which she later deleted.
This tweet shows that she probably wasn’t aware that Shahzad is a happily married man. The twitter world responded to this tweet like this:

All of those viewers who have watched Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s dramas in the past would know that his characters often react to confrontational situations by hitting the person who offended them. Women most often are the ones who think a classic thappar is their ultimate weapon. I still remember the way Shano’s mother used to hit her and I also remember how those thappars were received – as if it was perfectly normal for her mother to react in such a manner. Tonight when Maheen hit Waqar and he stood there like a “mard ka bacha” as Gulrez put it but quite frankly I would say dheet ka bacha! I was reminded of those thappars but I had no idea that this would not be the only thappar we will be witnessing in this episode. The phrase dheet ka bacha is more apt not only because even after all that Maheen did to him, he was quick to run to Maheen’s house and ask for forgiveness but also because he is after all Ami begum’s grandson therefore he is just as dheet as ami begum herself! Jokes aside, Waqar is the only person I truly feel for in this drama. The way he is referred to as London Ka Londa, loffer, awara and what not makes it sound like London is not a city in a foreign country but the name of a different planet and Waqar Ahmed is an alien who was thrown on earth via spaceship therefore his only identity is the planet he belongs to! I also feel for Imran Abbas because his make-up artist has completely ruined his look. All you see on his face is a lot of highlighter and that too in places which did not need highlighting!
Tonight the topic of discussion was Maheen’s outburst and the fact that Waqar Ahmed did not move an inch while she was hitting him and accusing him of being too influenced by London – a reference which is fast becoming a joke. The viewers never really saw in detail just how abusive Ms. crazy two shoes was but like always we heard the exaggerated version from every character possible. Even Maheen’s mother who acted equally crazy when Waqar came with those flowers and the gift was alarmed by her daughter’s reaction. There are a lot of characters in this drama who need serious anger management classes!
Fajr is the only person who speaks our minds and that thappar was like a slap on the face of all those intelligent viewers who are just as agitated by the entire situation in this drama as Fajr was today! Nautanki was the perfect word for explaining everyone’s reactions to the recent developments! Indeed we feel the same way too! I am wondering how Mehrunissa found out about Gulrez’s khawab since it isn’t common knowledge! She gave Gulrez a long lecture on the difference between dreams and reality as if she knew exactly what he saw in his dream!
I have to say that watching Waqar tell Ami begum off like that was the highlight of this episode and music to my ears! The entire scenario however was hilarious! Dastoor Ahmed and Mehrunissa stood there and listened like they were completely helpless and it gave the impression as if just like all of us they also thought ami begum deserved just that! Even though this play has plenty of annoying characters, it has the most batameez heroine, the most wicked grandmother and the most useless son but the most annoying and useless character is that of Jia. I cannot stand to watch her scenes and I couldn’t be less interested in her story!
Maheen’s guilt pangs made absolutely no sense since anyone who even felt an ounce of sympathy for someone would never do what she did with Waqar. I have to say that I have never disliked Ayeza Khan more in any other character because no matter how simple or complicated her characters are she somehow manages to make them likeable but this character is impossible to like! Ami begum’s dialogues about how she held Waqar so dear to her when she was talking to Maheen’s mother made me dislike her character even more.
When I started watching tonight’s episode I thought “Aik Inch Nahi Hila” would be the perfect title, then as the story progressed I was sure there couldn’t be a better title than “Mard Ka Bacha” but after the thappars’ hat trick I just knew that the title should give these thappars the attention they rightfully deserved! 3 thappars and counting!
How many of you watched this episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
Eid Mubarak to all those wonderful readers who are celebrating it tomorrow. Wish you all an Eid filled with happiness.
Zohaib Hassan is releasing an album which will feature his all time hits. The singer has collaborated with UK-based music director DJ Swami for the new project, who has previously worked with international artists like Apache Indian, Stereo Nation and Shania Twain. Imran ‘Immu’ Momina of Fuzon has also composed three tracks on Signature.
Zohaib said the album is a depiction of what he went through in the last 10 years.“The album revolves around my experiences and all that my family and I have experienced over the last 10 years or so.” he said.
Signature also has a special documentary showing Zohaib working in the studios. Some tracks of the album are also featured in a movie being made on Zohaib and Nazia’s lives. The film is currently under production.
Yalghaar is the most anticipated release this year. The film flaunts a huge cast including Shaan Shahid, Humayun Saeed, Bilal Ashraf, Adnan Siddiqui, Sana Bucha, Armeena Rana Khan, Ayesha Omer among others. The film came under some staring glances when the protagonist did not show up on neither the trailer launch nor the premier.
What followed were the speculations of a rift between Shaan and director Hassan Rana. The flame rose higher when Shaan commented on a post on facebook that he was just a guest star. If reviews are to be believed of those who attended the premier Shaan is still the protagonist but some of his scenes may have gotten cut.
Now Shaan is finally going to promote the movie. He has recorded an interview on Dunya News with Kamran Shahid. Director Dr. Hassan Waqar Rana and leading lady Sana Bucha are also joining him. The interview will air tonight. A screening of Yalghaar will also be held in Lahore and the actor may attend it too. Finally some good news for Yalghaar.
It was Hamza Ali Abbasi’s birthday yesterday and a good time to celebrate a man who has made a mark in more than just acting. A man who is too verbal for his own good and too opinionated for this diplomatic media business. Nonetheless, we need him and more like him to keep it real. To know that actors are not merely dolled up puppets, they are human beings who happen to be the in the profession of acting, and when they are not doing that, they are being themselves, they are talking about life and issues and politics and everything that comes in between. Hamza Ali Abbasi is certainly one of a kind. Not many would stick their necks in places that he does.
As he enters into the thirty fourth year of his life, let’s look back at his acting career, the controversies surrounding him and the things his peers say about him.
He started his journey with theatrical plays and got noticed by the makers of main hoon Shahid Afridi. Who would have thought that the short tempered Pathan in it would be so popular on screen one day. Later, it was Bilal Lashari’s waar that brought Hamza to light once again. After an year, he appeared in Humayun Saeed’s jawani phir nahi aani. That was the first time we got to know about Hamza Ali Abassi’s straightforwardness when he openly denounced the movie due to its bold scenes and refused to take part in its promotions. The film, nonetheless was a success and made Hamza prominent to producers and directors.
On TV, Hamza has given some very powerful performances in Pyaraay Afzal and Mann Mayal. Later, we saw him in a supporting role in Ho Mann Jahan.
He wanted to make a directorial debut with his feature Kambakht but that did not happen due to the strong criticism against his political outbursts. Nonetheless, Hamza is still very active and verbal on social media and keeps a very strong presence in all genres of it. He is one of those people for whom you say, love him or hate him, you just cannot ignore Hamza Ali Abbasi or pretend he is one of the typical models or actors for whom everything is about keeping appearances. With Hamza, you get much more that good looks and husky voice; there is intellect, thoughtfulness, wit and humour.
He is also very well respected and appreciated among his peers, who speak of him as a very passionate friend who would go to any lengths for his near and dear ones.
Ayesha Khan was seen as the infamous “Jeena” with Hamza in “Mann Mayal”. Talking about him, she said ” for me he is the kindest, most caring, brave, down to Earth and loyal friend; definitely my best friend! He might not be there in the good times but always there during the bad ones.”
https://www.instagram.com/p/BVqRMT-DsKg/
Nadeem Baig is also one of his closest friends. He is very appreciative of Hamza’s big heart, “I’ve always admired Hamza. Not only as an actor, but also as a person. The stance that he took at AAJ News, I think it’s commendable, nobody has the guts to speak about tolerance.”
Gohar Rasheed and Hamza come a long way and he is all but praises for the birthday boy ,
“”If Hamza was a girl, I would have married him in a heart beat (laughs)! But bro good, bad, ugly whatever the situation is, I have always got your back. God bless you”.
So for all his controversial purposes and intents, we wish Hamza a very good life ahead and hope he is here to stay.. for keeping the screen sizzling with good looks and the social media on fire with his statements.
Hit dramas are a complete package that have everything in them from good title tracks to a good plot. Pakistani industry,however, has produced dramas which contained better title tracks but were deprived of a well-knitted plot and vice versa. Shared below are some good title tracks from dramas lacking better plots
Ashk:
This drama proved the fact that including Fawad Khan and other famous actors in dramas will not make them hit until the plot is powerless. The drama written by Zafar Mairaj could not get success despite the fact that it included best actors of the time. Not even the direction of Sarmad khusat could be any help.
Yariyan:
Sammiya Mumtaz’s new avatar right after her religious role in Meri Zaat Zara e Benishan could not, unfortunately get her the same admiration she received in the former . Revolving around the three best friends, this drama hit the screens in 2010
https://youtu.be/Z2jl8r2EU1M
Tere Pehlu Mien:
This drama will definitely remind you of those Inidan saas bahu soaps that had Sara Chaudhry as the protagonist who goes through the ordeals just like Tulsi, Parvati and Prerna do. The OST by Alka Yagnik, however received much fame than the drama altogether did.
Yeh Zindagi Hai:
Javeria Saud’s JJS productions would definitely remind you of Ekta Kapoor’s Bala ji Telefilms. Following the footsteps of the Indian dramas, this drama tried to rise to success but did make it.
Zindagi dhoop tum Ghana saya:
Another drama that revolved around the hardships of a widow ,constantly suffering would make you think how cruel life is. This drama was not amongst Sanam’s best dramas and could not achieve good ratings.
https://youtu.be/sDFMMkOm–A
Yeh kaisy muhabbat hai:
Another drama from the JJS productions had all the viewers like ” Whats with the story?” With no solid storyline, the drama was disliked. The ost, however , made it to the list of good songs.
Neeyat:
Mahira Khan’s debut with Humayun Saeed was not much of a success and Mahira’s fans were greatly disappointed. Humayun did not give his best in this drama either.
Numm:
Sania Saeed and Fawad Khan, despite being good actors, could not take this drama to the peak of success. It was another flop serial with good OST.
https://youtu.be/tYglFbB5Zxk
Dill Dard Dhuan:
Audience did not particularly liked this one because of all those bold scenes and the weak story line.The OST sung by Alka Yagnik was, however liked by everyone.
https://youtu.be/La_JTrm9KLQ
Woh rishte woh natay:
Even with the best possible cast including Sara Chaudhry, Humayun Saeed and many others, this drama did not make it to the hit serials list. The song, on the contrary , was admired by the audience.
https://youtu.be/ltPP-hDAoOg
Ashna:
Another drama by Fahim Burney did not have a strong story but the OST was extremely good.
The trailer for the movie Chain Aye Na was finally released yesterday, and has left everyone in shock. All through the years of the entertainment industry, Pakistan has definitely witnessed some awkward video songs and movie productions, but Chain Aye Na‘s trailer probably broke all records of ineptness. Painful as it might be to suggest it, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, might as well do so to get the idea (We apologize for the next horrible 4 minutes of your life)
Starting off from the poor editing skills, to the horrific body shaming scenes and the absence of any good plot or story line even in the four unbearable minutes of the trailer, it is beyond our comprehension as to what motivated Syed Noor to produce such a film that will only tarnish the reputation of Pakistan’s film industry. Speaking of which, we have the people’s reactions to prove it:
Here are the replies on Twitter:
Just wasted precious 4 minutes of my life watching trailer, S.Noor plz stop makun movies n start living.
Ouch? It seems like people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that while Syra is trying to work in films like ChalayThay Saath and Project Ghazi to uplift the Pakistani cinema, how come her husband is doing the exact opposite?
However, there have been certain optimistic comments by people who sure know how to keep their spirits high,
All in all, it is a little mystifying why such great actors agreed to work for a film that does not in any way look promising.
Let’s hold on to the tagline of ‘Believe In Miracles’ because it looks like the only thing that might save this movie from a disastrous end!
