Bilal Lashari’s reboot of cult classic Maula Jatt is the most anticipated film of the year. As if the movie couldn’t get enough star power, with Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Humaima Malick on board!
Another famous actor has joined the cast, and it’s none other than Gohar Rasheed who’ll be playing the role of an antagonist. According to reports, Gohar Rasheed has signed the film and will play the character of Noori Nat’s (Hamza Ali Abbasi), younger brother.
The film is a co-production with an American production house and is set to release in 2018. With Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi in the lead roles, Maula Jatt 2 is turning out to be quite the bomb!
Sahir Lodhi’s Raasta released on March 31st and opened to negative reviews. The film, made on a budget of Rs 85 million, only managed to collect a sum of Rs 2 million on the first day of its release.
Many popular bloggers reviewed Raasta and mostly gave negative reviews. However, Sahir Lodhi feels that the bloggers labeled the whole nation. At a press conference, Sahir spoke about the matter and stressed upon the comments which stated: ‘Sahir is a cheap actor and has cheap fans.’ The comments apparently didn’t go well with Sahir, and he decided to hit back at the bloggers.
He questioned the individuals and asked who gave them the right to differentiate between the audiences. He said, “I am standing with the people of Pakistan.” He further asked, “How can you call them cheap.”
Here’s what he has to say.
Earlier this month, Sahir also appeared live with comedian Junaid Akram, who feels that the reviews he read were more like a personal hate frustration. He also shared that he’s uncertain to why Sahir always receives hate from the audiences. Apparently, the bloggers who reviewed Raasta also stated: “If you watch Raasta, you’ll be judged.”
Saba Qamar has already floored the critics with the trailer of her Bollywood debut ‘Hindi Medium’. After such an impressive trailer, one can only wonder how impactful the full-fledged film will be. The diva’s smashing debut across the borders is the most trending topic in Pakistan right now.
Speaking to Something Haute, Saba finally shared some details about her experience and the character.
“We had a great experience. Irrfan is such a great actor and such a humble man. It was amazing. At the end of the day all human beings are the same but then Bollywood is an established industry; the scale is very different.”
“I had to put on weight for my character,” she shared more about her experience. “And I had to train to get my Hindi right. I wanted to get the character right. There were times when I knew I looked bad but that’s what the role demanded. I feel that you have to work freely in cinema. You have to work without inhibitions.”
When asked, will she promote Hindi Medium with her crew?
“Absolutely,” she responded. “I’ll be traveling for the premieres in Dubai, Canada, and Australia.” Not India obviously. “In fact Raabta, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon, is also releasing shortly afterwards and the four of us will be touring together.”
Saba then laughed at the way the media blew her Salman Khan comments out of proportion. “I am a no-filter kind of person,” she laughed,
I am a bit odd. Well, to rephrase that – my choices in dramas can be a bit odd. There may be dramas on air that everyone is raving about but for some reason I do not watch even one episode. Then there are some which are not so popular but I genuinely like. And again, there are those which are cringe-cringe and (did I say cringe?!) cringe worthy and I have no idea why but I watch them right down to the last episode. For example, the drama on Geo a while ago, Ye Chahatein Ye Shiddatein. I would never recommend it to anyone and there is nothing good I can say about it – yet I watched it each week, ha!
One such drama that happens to fall in this third category is being aired by Geo nowadays – Tere Bina. Written by Saqlain Abbas, directed by Syed Ali Raza Usama and produced by Aijaz Aslam, Tere Bina airs every Tuesday at 8pm PST on Geo TV. For those of you who have read my reviews/articles, you are used to my references of cooking and even if I tried to skip the reference here, I just could not resist this one time. Tere Bina is an example of a chef throwing in all the right ingredients and masalas – onions, ginger, salt, spices – all there and he/she envisions a korma because they’ve done it all right, but what you end up with is a very average chicken curry and that too lacking something. The team of Tere Bina seems to have skimmed through all the dramas on air recently and picked out common factors thinking that would make this a super hit – but fell quite short, in my opinion. Let me explain. In no particular order.
‘Mein mar jaoon ga, meri mohabbat nahin maray gi’.
No, I don’t think that actual dialogue was uttered in this drama. Not sure if that is an actual dialogue uttered ever but hey, the underlying meaning is the same. Romeo and Juliet, Laila Majnu all take a backseat – this couple’s love reaches new heights. While I get love stories do boast of passionate love, the dialogues in this one lacked conviction. When Umair (Sami Khan) tells Pakeezah (Neelum Munir) nobody will ever love her as much as he can and each time he grasps her hand with the – wait for it – ‘yeh haath chornay kay leeyay nahin thaama’ line, man, the romantic in me does not stand up and jump, rather hides its head in the ground like an ostrich!
The heart attack
Because let’s face it, the link with the heart (quite literally) in a love story has only deepened with time. Except the one whose heart lands him/her in the hospital is not the one involved in the earth shattering love in the first place. Sigh. When Pakeezah ran away and her father clasped his chest – face palm, face palm, face palm!
Coincidences galore
Eavesdropping was my go to coincidence. The must have in a drama. Tere Bina introduced me to a plethora of many unique ones. Pakeezah has second thoughts about leaving and rushes back home but alas, her brother has come back and closed the gate. She has no choice but to elope. Shame. Ha! Pakeezah goes to the hospital and is sitting with someone else’s child on her lap so does not notice nor is seen when her family walks past her. Maa, baap, bhai all sat in the same car – do not realize it is Pakeezah in the passenger seat. Brother out looking for Pakeezah chances upon Umair to ask for directions. Pakeezah off to the mazaar where her mother and brother are present too and they do not run into each other. Hell, at this rate I want to put on my own thinking cap and throw in some for good measure. What are the odds those will happen too?!
Signature move & signature dialogue
When the movie Dilwale Dulhaniya Lejayengay came out, we were all gushing over the line Shahrukh Khan uttered many a time. Then there are the one liners that make us shake our heads like Jeena’s ‘meray tau maa baap bhi nahin’ or Erum’s mother in law in Faltu Larki with her ‘aap jayen yahaan se’. Tere Bina has the ‘yeh haath mein nay chornay kay leeyay nahin thaama’ line followed by Pakeezah’s speech on being his wife and how she is near yet so far,etc. Then a simple ‘sunno’ or ‘psst’ or tap on the shoulder I am sure would do the same job that Umair’s sudden yanking Pakeezah’s arm to catch her attention does. And I will say yanking for she seemed to almost fall down the stairs in one of those scenes! Within seven episodes, I have seen and heard both of the above a couple of times – I am sure there are more instances to come!
The emotional blackmail into second shaadi to save khaandan ki izzat
The age old, ‘once they’re married all will be well’ or marry the desperate cousin or else I will never be able to face my brother/sister again. Uggh. The actual wedding has not happened yet but Umair has agreed and the wedding functions have begun.
The bittersweet ‘sajaoon husband’s second wife apnay haathon se’
So nobody knows Pakeezah is Umair’s wife. Umair is marrying another woman. Second wife to be’s make up arrangements are messed up last minute and who is asked and agrees, with pathar on her heart to dress up her husband’s second wife. Why Pakeezah of course! Dramatic much!
Baji Sherlock
Because there is always someone who is curious. Oh so curious. And has a lot of spare time on their hands and sleuthing skills in abundance. In this case, Umair’s aunt who finds something fishy about Pakeezah’s presence in the first place and is constantly up and down the stairs trying to catch them out.
Sughar bahu
I have moved quite a lot since I got married and it takes me some time at least to get my bearings. In an empty house. Pakeezah however not only manages to figure out whose room is where, where all the ingredients in the kitchen are and rolls up her sleeves to have a scrumptious breakfast ready – when she is a guest in the house herself! Her in laws love her yet do not know who she is. Ah, the cruelty, uggh!
Filmy touch
The dance at Pakeezah’s mehndi, the a bit too-close-for-comfort close ups each time Umair yanks Pakeezah’s arm, Pakeezah running her hand over Umair’s bed. I mean, not to be a killjoy but even though I am all for music and intense emotions portrayed between the lead couple – something about the way these aspects are dealt in this drama failed to make the impression I feel they head out to make.
But ek baat hai. When Pakeezah fainted upon hearing that Umair is getting married, I thought oh man. Khuskhabri – but it did not happen! I was actually disappointed – I had thought I was on top of the predictability game here but oh well.
So even though it feels like I have torn apart the drama, can I just mention here that I am still watching it? I was watching it on and off and then watched three episodes together and all these thoughts just ran through my mind and I could not help but pen them down. It’s as if someone picked up a handbook and planned the drama according to it. Cliché upon Cliché! I actually began watching it because the first couple of episodes were quite fast paced and I thought it was a drama about how life is after the couple gets married. Their life. The two of them. Not the second wife and the emotional blackmail, etc. Humayun Ashraf plays Umair’s brother and I feel has a fairly pivotal role to play so I am mildly curious to see what that may be. If Umair goes ahead with the second marriage and Pakeezah spends a few more episodes just weeping them away, I suppose I will stop watching. But for now having it play in the background on TV while I am surfing the net – works for me. There is one thing I can not get enough of though and that is the OST. It is addictive and I have been trying to find a version minus the drama scenes. The acting is nothing to really write home about.
Would I recommend it? I honestly can not say. Like I said, we all have different tastes and I feel I may stop somewhere midway but it has been an entertaining watch on a Wednesday morning when I have nothing else recorded on TV. How many of you have been watching this drama? Or let me start with how many of you have even heard of this drama? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Son of singer and composer Adnan Sami, Azaan Sami Khan is on the transformational journey of his life. His journey from fat to fit will surely give you fitness goals.

Saba Qamar is riding high on the horse of success these days. After appearing in a number of television shows in Pakistan, the diva is casting her magic across the borders as well. Saba Qamar’s Bollywood debut Hindi Medium’s official trailer is out and she’s nailing it in full swing.
Irrfan Khan who is known for his versatility is bringing us a fun-filled ride. The trailer shows the journey of a couple trying hard to get their daughter into a good English school.
Saba Qamar shines in every scene, making every situation relatable and stands out in the trailer. Her role in the new film seems to be quite powerful as she’s perfectly playing the role of a bossy wife. The trailer starts off on a hilarious note and shows the struggle of the commoners and we’re loving the dollops of sarcasm it offers.
Directed by Sakit Chaudhry and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Bhushan Kumar, Hindi Medium is slated to release on May 12.
While the Pakistani film industry is still struggling to maintain the revival of the cinema, the television industry is experiencing its best time. With a horde of fresh talent emerging in the entertainment industry from actors to production houses to writers, the drama industry has come to a point where it’s churning out a set of brilliant dramas every month. There are lots of dramas coming to our tv screens this month, but only a few of them are going to set the bar high.
So, here’s a list of upcoming dramas which are not to be missed.
1) Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai (Geo TV)

The drama which is going to be high on love and emotions looks fresh and heart-wrenching, tune into MTNH starting from April 8, every Saturday 8 pm.
2) Yaqeen Ka Safar (Hum TV)
Based on Farhat Ishtiaq’s novel Woh Yaqeen Ka Naya Safar, drama Yaqeen Ka Safar is directed by Shehzad Kashmiri. Given that two leading names of the television industry are collaborating for this project, one can surely expect a play with quality production and a powerful script. Yaqeen Ka Safar stars Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Ali in the lead roles, the newbie Ahad Mir is doing good in Sammi and we have high expectations from him. The OST of the play released recently and it gives an insight of the plot with lots of promising twists. Besides Sajal and Ahad, the drama also stars Hira Mani, Shaz Khan, Ehtesham Uddin, Fazilla Qazi, Farhan Ali Agha and Beenish Raja in pivotal roles. Yaqeen Ka Safar will start air on every Wednesday from April 12 at 8 pm.
3) Alif Allah aur Insaan (Hum TV)
The acclaimed scriptwriter, Qaisara Hayat is back with yet another intense love story, Alif Allah aur Insaan directed by veteran director Aehsun Tablish. The moment you see the teaser of this drama, you’ll fall in love with the striking chemistry between Kubra Khan and Mikaal Zulfiqar. Alif Allah aur Insaan is based on the story of a guy who explores himself spiritually while struggling to get his love. It’s is a complete package, with a strong yet impactful storyline, hitting our screens very soon. Sana Fakhar, Shehzad sheikh, Farhan Ali Agha, Ushna Shah, Abid Ali, Saba Hameed, Mohsin Gillani and Ainy Zaidi will be seen playing supporting roles in the drama.
4) Ilteja (Ary Digital)
Pakistani dramas are daring to be different while tackling the real issues. One such drama is Ilteja which talks about Down syndrome and physical disabilities and the problems that come with raising a child suffering from it. Tooba Siddiqui is making a comeback to the small screen with this drama which is all set to air on Ary Digital where she portrays a woman who has two sons, one child is paralyzed while the other is suffering from Down syndrome. The drama will show the struggles that come raising a kid without any support from the family. Ilteja is bound to speak volumes with its intriguing story line. The cast of the drama also includes Affan Waheed, Imran Ashraf, and Rubina Ashraf. Ilteja is written by Saji Gul and produced by Sana Shahnawaz. It will go on air starting from 8th of April, every Saturday, 8pm.

The film’s trailer released earlier in March and received a positive response from the critics. Written by Atiya Zaidi and co-produced by Beenish Umer and Umer Adil, the cast also includes Behroz Sabzwari, Mansha Pasha, Osama Tahir, Zhalay Sarhadi, Faris Khalid, Shamim Hilaly and Sherbaz Kaleem.

After the first song Pariyan, Chalay Thay Saath’s complete soundtrack is released on Patari and we must say, we’re impressed. And yes, the music of the film is just as interesting as the trailer. The score of the film has been done by producer Abbas Ali Khan, and a few artists such as Mooroo and Sikandar Ka Mandar have also lent their music for the film.
After listening to the music, one can surely say that we finally have some good, authentic and original Pakistani music which is not inspired by Bollywood.
A post shared by Chalay Thay Saath (@chalaythaysaath) on
The original soundtrack of Chalay Thay Saath consists of six songs.
1) The song Pariyaan by Bell is refreshing and gives a peaceful feeling, it’s written in depth and offers a music that touches the core.
2) Mariam by Moro is more like a full of life song with some cool tone.
3) Jeep Racey by East Side Story is a fun song with a touch of desi music and lyrics. It’s enjoyable and truly Pakistani.
4) Khalis Makhan by Bakshi brothers & Natasha Noorani is a soft song. It gives the feeling of serenity with soulful music which is extremely pleasing and a soothing to the ears.
5) The Jinn by Behroze Sabzwari is an ordinary song and doesn’t have much to offer.
6) The last but not the least, Bolo by Sikandar ka Mandar & Natasha Noorani gives a good feeling with some exceptional voices.
Listen to the complete soundtrack of Chalay Thay Saath here.
Recently, Humaima Malick caused an uproar by making some shocking comments about popular actresses, Ayesha Khan and Hareem Farooq at Tonite with HSY. Humaima shared that the most over-rated actress of 2016 was Jeena from Mann Mayal, aka Ayesha Khan.
A post shared by HUMAIMA MALICK (@humaimamalick) on
And Ayesha Khan is not in a mood to take this lightly. At a launch of a skin care product, when asked about Humaima, Ayesha replied, “Who’s Humaima? She is irrelevant! Oh, isn’t she the one who did Bol after I rejected it?” reported a local publication.
We smell something coming up, wonder how Humaima will react to this!
For those who don’t know, this all started when Ayesha was seen at Tonite with HSY and the host HSY gave Ayesha three options, Ali Zafar, Imran Abbas and Mawra Hocane, asking who had the worst debut, however, Ayesha Khan said “Humaima”, (even though Humaima wasn’t an option).
Humaima is shooting for Bilal Lashari’s next opposite Hamza Ali Abbasi and her brother, Feroze Khan, is currently working with Ayesha Khan these days on Hum TV’s Woh Aik Pal!
Well, one can only wonder what’s the real deal between these two actresses.
The gorgeous Saba Qamar who is making her Bollywood debut opposite Irfan Khan has paired up with Ali Kazmi for an upcoming drama ‘Baaghi’. While the vivacious diva, Saba Qamar is ruling the industry, the talented actor Ali Kazmi also has a lot going on. He is all set to appear in two upcoming dramas and a film as well.
“It (Baaghi) is a very interesting story written by Umera Ahmed while it’s being directed by Farooq Rind,” Kazmi told Instep. “I can’t reveal much about the play at the moment except that it will be on air sometime in May.”
Kazmi revealed that Baaghi also stars actor-director Sarmad Sultan Khoosat, who was recently honored with the prestigious Pride of Performance honour.
Apart from Baaghi, Kazmi has also shot for another play called Aur Tum Meri Mohabbat Ho in which he essays the role of a lawyer/social activist. “The play revolves around the themes of power and class difference with an interesting love story,” the actor revealed.
Veteran Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor believes Pakistani players should also play in the IPL (Indian Premier League) and has made a plea for the same.
He took to Twitter asking the decision makers to invite Pakistani players in IPL. “IPL. You got world players. Afghanistan makes debut. My plea is please consider Pakistani players. Phir match hoga! Hum bade log hain. Please!”
IPL. You got world players. Afghanistan makes debut. My plea is please consider Pakistani players.Phir match hoga! Hum bade log hain.Please!
Rishi Kapoor has requested the organizers of IPL to include cricketers from Pakistan as well. No Pakistani player has participated in the IPL after its inaugural season in 2008. After last year’s Uri attacks, relations between India and Pakistan have been tense.
Seems like the veteran actor is impressed by the performances of our cricket players in the Pakistan Super League. He was last seen in Fawad Khan starer Kapoor & Sons.
Brace yourselves because the star-studded and high-flying event Lux Style Awards is going to take place in Karachi, very soon. Preparations for the most coveted award gala are already underway. This year, Hassan Sheheryar Yasin aka HSY is directing the show and we already have high hopes! Some behind the scene pictures and videos have been doing rounds on social media where HSY is spotted with Osman Khalid Butt and Mahira Khan. Aren’t they reading a script?
Behroze Subzwari, Pakistani veteran actor’s mother has passed away today, 5th April, 2017. May her soul rest in peace.

. Her namaz-e-janaza will be offered today after Asr at Sultan Masjid DHA Karachi. Please pray for the departed soul.
Film star Meera is in a bit of a situation. The actor has reportedly lost her bag and passport while travelling and does not know where to go for help.
The bag contained all of Meera’s belongings, including her money.
“My passport, my cash and everything else that was in my bag has disappeared. I am a star and the Pakistani High Commission in the UAE should help me out,” Meera told The Express Tribune.
She also revealed that she had been visiting Dubai in search of work and is currently in between negotiations to secure her future in the showbiz industry.
Meera also has a contingency policy:
“I want to do something for the poor people of my country,” she stated. “Therefore, I have decided that if I do not find suitable work after my trip to Dubai, I will join the Punjab Assembly and contest the general elections to further the cause of the poor people of Pakistan”
According to Meera, she already has a few offers from a political party which she didn’t disclose:
I am a sensitive person and feel very strongly about those living their lives in extreme poverty. I already have my hospital project but now, I want to do something even better after winning the elections,” she shared. “Other than eradicating poverty, I want to further education and justice for women in Pakistan and that’s what my political slogan will be. I have already started preparing myself for the election campaign.”
Story of Gulsher – Tehzeeb Foundation’s tribute video which is made for the victims of the Army Public School (APS) attack, has won a silver medal at the Global Music Awards in the United States.
The track was released in December which tells the story of two brothers,Gulsher and Shamsher.
The 13-year-old Gulsher lost his life in the attack while the younger Shamsher survived and then returned to his school with renewed spirit.
Story of Gulsher is part of the Action Moves People United album sponsored by UNESCO, and has been produced by Sharif Awan, general secretary of the Tehzeeb Foundation and producer of Indus Raag.
Sharif told The Express Tribune he is honoured to have won the coveted prize:
“It was our artistic response to terrorism because that’s all we can do. We can’t pick up arms and go fight,” he said. “I didn’t get any personal benefit from this but I believe it was a scholastic response to the incident. I’m glad Pakistan is getting more international recognition.”
“December 16 is such a tragic date in our history that we wish to avoid it like the 1971’s Bangladesh split. But now, it’s forever etched in our minds. Lyricist Harris Khalique summed it better at the launch last year when he said he hoped he never has to write such a poem again,” Sharif admitted. “Earlier, we were unable to commemorate December 16 but now we must capitalise on it like all responsible nations.”
Sharif also thanked his team for bringing Story of Gulsher to life. “Zoe Viccaji, Nafees Ahmed, Zia Mohyeddin and Arshad Mehmud worked free of cost. This was a personal project and we didn’t have many resources but still, they helped out. Even the Sindh government lent a hand,” he revealed. “Even Indus Raag 2 is nominated for a Lux Style Award (LSA) this year, marking the first time this kind of indigenous music is acknowledged by them. I will just say music will play its part. Each part of history has been reactive and responsive to the situations around. Now we are also making history by reacting and I’m thankful to everyone for making it possible.”
Noman Javed and Janan Malik tied the knot in 2016 and parted ways in 2017. The news came as a surprise to the whole entertainment fraternity.
The reason behind the divorce is still unknown, but Jana Malik had earlier expressed relief on her divorce with Nouman Javed. She told that the real reason behind separation was the lack of understanding between the two.
However, Noman Javed has opened up about the divorce for the very first time and he seems to be unsure about Jana’s decision of divorce. He revealed that there were minor problems, but nothing serious that could lead to a divorce. Moreover, he also shared that they were planning a baby, but the whole divorce came as a shock to him as well and Jana told him that she was tired, depressed and bored.
The dubsmash queen, Hania Amir is making it big in the entertainment industry. The bubbly young beauty has added another feather to her cap by signing Nabeel Qureshi’s upcoming film.
A post shared by Hania Aamir (@haniaheheofficial) on

The producer at Next Level Production celebrated her birthday last night. Imran Abbas, Humayun Saeed, Sohai Ali Abro, Mehwish Hayat, Zahid Ahmed and many other celebrities were spotted celebrating the night away.
What an awesome journey it had been! A novel which initially laid the foundation of taking revenge of Murders++I should say, by a family which was dismantled by the rich relatives ended at pretty much the same note.The Kardaars horrific story ended at exactly the same point where Sonia the daughter of Hashim has taken over the charge of taking revenge without exactly knowing the truth behind all this fiasco. Well said by Nemrah Ahmed that the cycle of revenge keeps on going and passes down to generation after generation. The true wisdom behind the forgiveness of Murder at the time of conquer of Makkah by our beloved Prophet Muahmmad S.A.W was to put a seal to this whole cycle of revenge which keeps on going and becomes the main reason of destroying families and spreading hatred.
Well, the most prominent thing about this novel for me had been the character development of all the characters. I believe in a writing which is relatable and that will actually hit the chords of your heart and shake your mind to contemplate and question about your deeds and that only happens if the characters are shown more human than angelic or evil. Apart from Hashim and Javahirat all the other character’s life is somehow inspirational and urges us to ponder our lifes.
The journey of Saadi, has been inspirational where a boy who was full of self- confidence was shattered and humiliated by the guilt of killing someone in self-defense was a clever way to show his dark side as well and to make the viewers understand that every person will face something in their lives which would change him forever whether it be for the better or worse depends on our way of dealing with the trauma.
I am damn sure, the character of Haneen has been an eye-opener for many girls. A girl falling for someone and then raising herself back was such an amazing way for putting forth the lesson that ‘’ you are your own hero’’. Thankyou so much Haneen for that!
Zumar, my love for this character is so much that I don’t know if I will ever come across a lady with such personality in other novels except Aks. This lady has gown through so much but damn look at her way of coming back and fight for the family…. We will always miss Zumar.
Faris Ghazi this dou number insan was the hero in disguise from the very beginning and we were thinking Zumar will be the one to hit the nail in the coffin but it was none other than Faris Ghazi with his heroic actions and humble heart that surely made him the hero.
Red Lady- I honestly felt for her, I know she has been evil to gain her love ,she troubled the life of Zumar and Faris but at the end she tried to save her and got killed and yes Thank God she got killed after confessing all and choosing the right path why I said Thank God for her being killed is because Suicide would have led her to other complications and atleast here we can pray for her.
Let’s assemble all the evils together Lol, Hahsim Kardaar nahi sudharne waala, I was one of those wishful thinkers who optimistically wished for a change of heart in Hashim but Alas, we had to face this. We had to read all this because there are people who never change and Hashims’s end will be written by Sonia’s life for that we have to wait for Naml part 2. It was such a relief to see all the plastic beauty draining out while the Sulphuric acid was dripping from her face… you deserved it Javahirat! I am unapologetically being inhumane here Lol.
All the side characters had their significance and they played their role beautifully. I cannot thank Nemrah Ahmed enough for this masterpiece although I didn’t like the ending but we cannot always have a conventional end though.
A little Award Ceremony here and I want you guys to share yours as well and Let’s see who gets the best suitable title complementing its personality.

Feroz Faisal and Talha Dar make up the band, SomeWhatSuper. They produce tracks fusing EDM with Urdu.
Everyone loved them for their song, ‘Bandook’ . They were in the news again when the collaborated with Ali Gul Pir for ‘Modi Teri’ which was a song with a political and social message.
“We will be working with nine different artists in 2017. We are also adding the final touches to our album,” shared Faisal and Dar with Instep, The News.
The album has been complete since a year, but the electronic music producers are adding new stuff to it since last year.

April Fool’s day has become a really big deal all over the world. From you family to your friends, celebrities to online publications, everyone tries their hand at it on April 1st.
A well known publication reported on April 1 as a prank that the new Islamabad Airport would be named after China’s President name ‘Xi Jinping’.
Many people fell for it who did not bother to read the whole article which mentioned in the end that it was a prank.
However, model Rabia Butt fell for it too and posted about it on her instagram when she found this news shocking.
As we reported earlier, Veena Malik is back to take over the television screen.
Veena has always been known as the ‘queen of mimicry’. She has done re-enactments and mimicries of many personalities ranging from politicians to celebrities.
Veena also recently released a teaser of her upcoming song. The song is called Dushman-e-Watan and it is patriotic in nature and features Veena in white traditional wear.
This episode of Muqabil laid down the foundations for what is coming ahead. Although everything that the viewers were shown in this episode needed to be seen but it also had a lot of scenes which could have been chopped down. The pace of the drama has slowed down considerably but it is still unpredictable and has some phenomenal performances to its credit. Every episode has some new development which gives you a reason to tune into this drama the coming week. This play could have been a game changer if it maintained its fast pace and there weren’t a lot of filler scenes which are clearly meant to kill time. This episode however was not a filler episode overall because with this episode Pareesa learned a few things about her which she was not willing to accept before and the dynamics of Arman and Pareesa’s relationship also changed completely this week.
Half of this episode covered everyone’s mindset while they were desperately looking for Arman. In my opinion this could have been one of those episodes which keep you at the edge of your seat if the preview of the next episode did not reveal that Arman was in the hospital. The song covering Pareesa and Arman’s past scenes and the visit to Sara’s house did not serve any purpose at all. The only important aspect of Sara and Pareesa’s conversation was that for the first time the viewers watched Pareesa acknowledge the fact that she was in love with Arman. The biggest purpose that these recent developments served is that Pareesa has finally accepted her true feelings for Arman, she is not afraid to love him and she is not scared of admitting how much he means to her. Pareesa, Arman and Mahmood’s characters are the lifeline of this drama, no matter how meaningless an episode is as a whole, these three characters always add meaning to every episode and keep it from getting too dull.
My favorite scene in tonight’s episode was the one in which Arman looked at Pareesa and his father for the first time after his accident (suicide attempt?). It was brilliantly directed and Mohsin Abbas’ acting was beyond remarkable in this scene. It showed exactly how Arman felt at that moment but was unable to express his feelings in any way. Honestly speaking, I was expecting a lot more from this episode but it did not cover Pareesa and Arman’s scenes the way one would have hoped it would but on the contrary focused on showing the aftermath of Arman’s disappearance. I have always been a big fan of Asif Raza Mir but now I am completely sold. His expressions when he warned Pareesa that she should never share her secret with Arman were remarkable. He brings out all the shades of Mahmood’s personality effortlessly on screen. Shehnaz and Aftab’s scenes covered Aftab’s guilt and also a different side of Shehnaz’s personality. Saba Hameed is also an all time favorite and Saife Hassan is very convincing as Aftab. These people may run a big business but they have no clue how to handle their daughter, that is something they are still learning to do!
The preview of the next episode suggested that Arman will take his time coming into terms with the fact that his father was the one who violated the woman who is now his wife. So far Muqabil has picked up pace every time the viewers thought it had lost its momentum therefore I have high hopes that the next episode will deliver.

The upcoming PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week (PSFW) which was scheduled to take place in Lahore this month between April 13 and 16 has now been reduced to three days because of venue unavailability.
PSFW was initially supposed to take place on March 2-5 but it was postponed due to the number of terrorist attacks all over the country during that time.
April 13 to 15 are now the new dates for April.
Obviously, the lineup will have to be shuffled around three days now but it also means that the industry can relax a bit before the Lux Style Awards night in Karachi on April 19.
The lineup for PSFW has not been confirmed but it will showcase the work of designers like Sana Safinaz, Sania Maskatiya, Adnan Pardesy, Misha Lakhani, Generation and Ali Xeeshan and others.
It is also being said that a Sunsilk hair show, conceptualised by Nabila will take place.
Shows will happen individually this time around which will give the media the choice of selecting designers of their interest.
2017 started with a bang for Mahira Khan! Her Bollywood debut ‘Raees’ with Shah Rukh Khan was the talk of the town and now she is all set to raise the bar even higher with her film ‘Verna’.
Mahira Khan is all set to sing for her upcoming film Verna. About two months ago, rumors of Mahira singing for Shoaib Mansoor’s Verna were taking over the internet.
According to a local publication, Mahira is recording a song for Verna and we must say the lady keeps surprising us.
Verna is an upcoming film penned by the ace writer Shoaib Mansoor. Starring Mahira Khan and Haroon Shahid in the lead roles, Verna is expected to release on Eid-ul-Fitr 2017.
Momina Mustehsan is a name that seems to be in the limelight all the time. She made her debut in Coke Studio season 9 and has developed a huge fan following in a short span of time. Whether it’s about her voice, beauty or personal life, she’s always in the news.
A post shared by Momina Mustehsan (@mominamustehsan) on
Last year, Momina got engaged to her former fiancee, the U.S.A banker Ali Naqvi, but the engagement broke recently, which created a buzz on social media. Speaking to Instep, Momina opened up about her engagement and social media attention and here are a few interesting bits of the conversation.
The hoopla surrounding her personal life has finally settled down but she manages to stay in the news and often it’s not for the right reasons.
“I am glad it settled down because I freaked out; anyone would! What it became was never my purpose. While working at Coke Studio, I had no idea how huge it would end up being. Suddenly, there’s so much pressure; there was a lot of emphases put on how I look,” Mustehsan said.
“After the insanity settled down, people out of boredom probably started creating one thing or the other to start new gossip. It’s not that easy to ignore it and at times, can get exhausting to deal with.”
A post shared by Momina Mustehsan (@mominamustehsan) on
When asked about Coke Studio and what motivated her, Mustehsan clearly stated: “I didn’t do Coke Studio to prove myself or become a professional musician – I make music for myself. I enjoy singing and that’s exactly what I did. In fact, ‘Afreen’ is a track that I wasn’t even supposed to do. The response I got from it was truly unprecedented. For anyone to reach that level again, including me is near to impossible.”
Speaking about her engagement, Momina shared that the undue attention did affect her off-duty. “I do want to distance myself, because no matter how hard you try – it does leave an impact on you. Being a part of Coke Studio is very prestigious but that doesn’t mean I’ve taken it up full time. I sing only when I want to, it’s still more or less a passion and not a profession.”
“Sometimes, I feel like deactivating all my social media handles and live in peace for a while, but even then I won’t be able to, there will be people who’ll assume I’m undergoing depression or something,” she jokingly added.

The afreen afreen singer did not get nominated for the Lux Style Awards 2017, and here’s what she has to say about it, “It’s okay if I or neither of my songs got nominated. Being acknowledged by the masses and having them extend their love and support is enough for me to keep giving my best”
Sheheryar Munawar has made quite a name for himself as an actor. The Ho Mann Jahaan actor is currently shooting Project Ghazi and Saat Din Mohabbat in. He has a great year to look forward to, it seems.
Apart from these achievements, the man is very well dressed too. But today, we bring you 5 times he even made T-Shirts look stylish.
When he posed like a pro while wearing a white shirt and looked very rugged and very handsome.
Project Peshawar is an upcoming Pakistani movie. It is a multi-lingual film and will soon be featured in cinemas across Pakistan. It will also be screened at several international film festivals.
“Project Peshawar is first international film from Peshawar and has been filmed in three different countries and in three different languages,” Irshu Bangash, the director of the film told The Express Tribune.
70% of the film has been shot in Peshawar while the other parts were filmed in Canada and England.
The film is in Pashto, Dutch and English languages. Irshu added that the film will be Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (K-P) first colourgrade video that will change the current trends in the Pashto film industry.
The producers of the film believe that this film will be a step towards reviving the local cinema.
However, Peshawar itself will only get to see the premier event and Project Peshawar will not be released in any cinemas in the city, due to a lack of audience.
Suspence and thrill makes up the story according to the writer and producer, Junaid Kamran Siddique.
It is also based on real life incidents and will show the kidnapping of women and girls, focusing on the lead character of Shoaib, a Pakistani-Canadian who has to return to Pakistan due to some extenuating circumstances.
Junaid also added:
“Soon, you will see it under a big banner. Project Peshawar has been made multilingual to target the viewers from different parts of the world. A purely Pashtu film would not have generated much traction. If your product is good and worth watching surely it can do wonders.”
Its soundtrack includes songs by Sajid and Zeeshan and Khumariyaan the band, amongst others.
“It will be the greatest achievement of my life to make an international film in Pakistan,” said Shoaib.
“We believe that it will bring a good name to the Pashtu film industry and to the Peshawar as a whole.”
Shaan Shahid and Reema Khan used to be everyone’s favourite onscreen film couple back in the day. The stunning duo were last seen together in 1998, in the film, Nikkah.
There is no denying the fact that they both share amazing chemistry and the good news is that the two are all set to share screen space together once again.
They are coming together for an ad campaign which will release on April 12.
The two will be seen over a cup of tea for Nestle Everyday.
Reema previously said in an interview:
“During this gap he preferred working with other actresses as compared to me, which became a challenge for me. I am thankful to him for this, as it gave me the determination to work hard and prove myself.”
Pakistan is brimming with great young talent and one such group of talented people is our young filmmakers.
The Izhar by Film Fellowship (IBFF), an initiative of Morango Films, with support from UN Women (the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women) showcased the talent of 60 young filmmaking trainees and held a screening ceremony of the top 25 short films produced by these trainees from across Pakistan.
IBFF is a fellowship program which works for the social and political rights of women.
The trainees aimed to raise awareness on social matters through 60 second documentaries that highlighted the state of women in our society.
The screening took place on Thursday 30 March 2017 at the National Library of Pakistan, in Islamabad.
The jury consisted of famous music video and commercial film directors including Amena Khan and Sohail Javed; Founder of Morango Films Abrar Ul Hassan; Co-Founder of 60SIFF and Morango Films Affan Alam; and Social Media Director Laiq Qureshi.
The top 3 fellows received scholarship grants of Rs 100,000, Rs 50,000 and Rs 25,000 respectively.
During the ceremony, Abrar ul Hassan (Co-Founder Morango Films) said:
“It is overwhelming to have received such highly impacting films made by the aspiring youngsters, who have endeavored to depict aspects of rights of women in a very realistic way.”
Sangeeta Thapa (Chief Guest and Deputy Country Representative, UN Women Pakistan) appreciated Morango Films for the first-ever IBFF and said:
“It is heartening to see the overwhelming response to the fellowship and strong messages that have been shared with us through these films. We all have a role in creating awareness on political and social rights of women, whether through films or any other medium. As advocates and champions for gender equality, your messages can and do impact the way people perceive the roles and rights of women. On behalf of UN Women, I congratulate each one of and we look forward to together ‘Stepping It up for Gender Equality where we have a Planet 5050 by 2030.”
This collaboration between UN Women and Morango Films falls under UN Women’s project on “Women’s Peace, Security, Rights and Voice: safe public spaces, community outreach and empowerment, and political awareness and advocacy” with support of the Government of Australia.

So you know how you introduce solids to a baby. Baby rice, the most favorable first food – almost always an instant hit. Add in apple, pear -all good. Repeat – all good. Then introduce a few new flavors -sweet potato, butternut squash and gag! Baby wants nothing to do with all this food business. I am that baby. I tuned into the first few episodes of Faltu Larki when it first went on air and few episodes down, I was pleasantly surprised. Interested. A drama with actual humor, scenarios and characters that felt so real. A different treatment yes, but I took it in stride and liked it. Until the haveli characters were introduced and I wrinkled my nose and backed off. Never tuned in again until a few days ago and then could not stop watching.
On air every Thursday at 8pm on A Plus, Faltu Larki has been written by Faseeh Bari Khan and directed by Mazhar Moin. Apparently a show that aired a few years ago, Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewa was also written by Faseeh Bari Khan and directed by Mazhar Moin and that is something which caught my attention only recently otherwise I may not have bothered with Faltu Larki either. For some reason I was never able to bring myself to watch Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewa and so I can not compare the two shows. Anyway, back to Faltu Larki – I am aware a review of the first couple of episodes was posted on this website and it was actually that review that made me curious enough to watch the drama in the first place. What the reviewer wrote (in not these very words but still) – and stayed with me is very true – the dialogues of this drama are so witty and different. That and the characters, well most of them at least, are so interesting, real, outrageous all rolled into one that you can not help be drawn into watching the drama.
The drama keeps your interest alive for there are quite a few tracks running parallel to each other and some intertwined with others. Probably best to start with Anwar Sb (Salman Shahid) who has two wives and families all living in the same house. He has three children with his first wife (played by Hina Dilpazir) – Bhaijaan (Tipu Shareef), Faiza (Sundus Tariq) and Erum (Anam Fayyaz). Yes, Bhaijaan is called just that – Bhaijaan – by all and sundry. His parents, sisters, relatives all call him that although some fifteen plus episodes later we are enlightened. His actual name is Arsalan. Anyway, Anwar Sb’s second wife, Paro (Samiya Mumtaz) is much younger than the first and has a daughter, Palwasha aka Paashi. Anwar Sb’s younger brother Siraj (Behroze Sabzwari) also lives in the same house with his wife and son Yasir (Farhan Malhi). Apparently the two brothers have a distant relative who lived in India and upon her death, Siraj travels to India and brings back the relative’s daughter Jahan Ara (Dania Anwar) and announces she is to now live with them. At the same time we are also introduced to Erum’s fiancé Tabish (Imran Ashraf) and his family, who are very religious, amongst other things.
Fast forward a few episodes and the next lot of characters are introduced. These all reside in the ‘haveli’ and honestly, each character outdoes the other in terms of boggling my mind. Quite literally. Be it the mum (Seemi Raheel), her son Moazzam Ja, her daughter –never-quite-grasped-her-name- Bi (Yasra Rizvi), the female -always- clad- in -male- clothes driver Anwar or Mishtiri the newly hired maid who is the link between the family in the haveli and Anwar Sb’s household. Ek say barh kar ek hain!
It does sound like a whole pot full of characters in one drama and yes, while it is that, each character has a story to tell, some still shrouded in mystery twenty two episodes down. It is what Paro says to Jahan Ara about how in real life people are not as they are portrayed in movies and dramas. Nobody is black or white. A person in reality may be sensible one day, unreasonable the next, love something with a passion for a while and begin to detest it later. And that is exactly what most of the characters in this drama are. Paro, seemingly outraged by having been passed over by Bhaijaan has made exacting revenge and ensuring he never gets married to be her mission in life. She stops at nothing, even resorting to black magic. But then her heart softens when she sees Jahan Ara ill – until she becomes a prospective bride for Bhaijaan at which she makes her hatred well known, haha! Siraj may come across as the mild natured uncle who brings home an orphaned niece but his half baked business plans and emotional blackmailing towards his wife to the extent of selling her jewellery somehow does not make him seem so innocent and gullible anymore. Anwar Sb’s first wife seems to have a thick skin (no pun intended) and calls it as it is, not indulging in pretense whether it be for her daughters’ in laws sake or family. Yet she has her moments of despair which she can not hide at times when she reflects at the sad state of her marriage. Taabish and his mother are hypocrites whose references to religion are brought up at their own convenience and twisted for their own benefit. Jahan Ara who has wept most episodes away yet manages to find her tongue when dealing with Paashi or putting Yasir down. I have a feeling she is not all that she portrays herself to be but am waiting to find out. And Paashi! For all the times, I have been frustrated and shook my head at ‘twists’ in dramas when the female lead is unable to reach out to the male lead and ‘inform’ him of the zabardasti ka rishta being enforced upon her – in this day and age of internet,telephones,whatsapp etc – Paashi wipes away all my frustration for she manages to use all those and then even resort to good old pen and paper to get her point across!
The dialogues are definitely the strongest selling point in this drama, followed by amazing acting. I have found myself chuckling over so many dialogues. The scenes between Paro and Yasir where she constantly puts him down for being a useless film ka hero, her references to ‘faasbook’ (facebook), the first wife’s ‘bilood mein pressure’, ‘taich na karna’ – it just made me laugh. I can not figure out whose acting I enjoy the most – Samiya Mumtaz, Tipu’s, Anam Fayaz, Hina Dipazir, Taabish’s mum in law or even the young actress who plays Paashi. I am not being critical for the sake of being critical and this may only be my own perception but somehow even though Taabish’ character seems realistic, the acting by Imran Ashraf seems off point sometimes for he sounds like he is acting out a part rather than being the part, if that makes any sense. If it does not then let it go for it is probably just me who feels like that.
Another aspect that appealed to me is the dark humour which is downright insulting at times but strangely refreshing from the point of view of television dramas. For this is very real. References to weight, ‘hont latka kar baat karna’ (Taabish to Erum), ‘bring me chai with sugar because I don’t have sugar ki bemari’. I know, they sound outrageous but it worked for me in the sense that I gasped out loud at the rudeness of it all – but was not put off. Then again, the comedy factor brought about by the haveli characters with Seemi Raheel’s constant references to not being touched by Anwar the driver because she seems like a male and Moazzam Ji’s bachao acts did not make me laugh. Taabish’s mother’s constant ‘aap jayen yahaan se’ to her husband while initially seemed pointless but after a while I began to wait and expect her to say that to him each time he passed. What is all that about I wonder?!
Which brings me to a lot of little things which made me think – what is all that about, I wonder?! Anwar and Moazzam Ji’s sister – the jealousy and possessiveness. I do not know what to make of that? Paro’s weirdness about Bhaijaan seems to be half explained later on in the episodes and is not a very well hidden secret with Bhaijaan’s mother also knowing the truth so then how did the marriage with his father come about? Only to ensure Bhaijaan does not marry anyone else? Jahan Ara seemed drawn to Yasir but seems to be more than content with her upcoming marriage to Bhaijaan. What is running through her mind?
I could go on but seems like I have done enough of that already. For those of you who have been watching this from the beginning, you would have tons more scenarios or dialogues to add and please feel free to do so. My only concern is that the previous play presented by the combination of Faseeh Bari Khan and Mazhar Moin dragged on for 150 episodes or so if I am not mistaken and I sure hope this does not have a similar treatment. For as I sat down to pen this review I happened to check A Plus facebook, rather ‘faasbook’ page and saw that this drama will now air twice a week. I do not know whether that is to wrap it up or what. Anyway, I enjoyed these episodes so much, bar a few silly scenes which can be skipped that I could not resist penning down my thoughts and hearing yours. And for those of you who have not been watching this drama so far – Faltu Larki is not everyone’s cup of tea but do give it a go. How do you all feel about Faltu Larki so far? Who is your favourite character? Would love to hear your thoughts.
When we talk about Pakistan we also talk about sheer amount of talent this nation retains. No matter to which field we belong to there is immense talent available everywhere. Now if we talk about Showbiz Industry specifically, then there is no need to introduce how versatile our mostly artists are. However versatility is not only the requirement, in order to climb heights of success you need to be in demand. Many actors and actresses chose to typecast themselves in particular role which obviously undermines their talent. They do it for their ease and directors don’t need to put extra effort to etch out feelings from the character. What they don’t realise is that they are losing out themselves in competition.
Pakistani Showbiz may be lucrative but still not big enough, so as new talent pours in thereby increasing competition it becomes difficult for an actor or actress to sustain the rule of Industry. Therefore in order to attain the rule you need to be dynamic and proficient in performing every character that has been offered to you.
Hence the topic is to list down those actors/actresses that are capable of performing every character brilliantly but still are not in demand. It may be either they don’t want to get promoted or they are still waiting for their Golden Luck. In my case they are simply Talent Wasted!
Arij Fatyma: Since the beginning of her career, Arij never failed to enthrall audience with her impeccable performances. Arij is a versatile actress who retains acting sense, we have seen her performing comedy, romantic and in positive and negative roles. She got good portfolio in Industry, her notable performances are: Iraj in drama Meri Beti, Bareera in Aik Pal and Arsala in drama serial Ishq Parast. Despite such tremendous performances, Arij failed to become a popular and demandable actress in Industry. It seems like she is hardly signing any serials now, as there is no such mention of any of her upcoming dramas or probably I am not updated. Nevertheless I am still counting on her to be a part of film now.
Sami Khan: Through his constant grim face on screen, Sami Khan literally bored the audience and that’s why he never become successful as he should be. Although Sami Khan is not a versatile actor but he is veteran in industry by considering his performances in number of plays. Sami Khan may lack variation in his range but he is well known for executing romantic type roles or you can say a chocolate hero. Sami Khan can be proved as a great choice for a romantic film and we are still waiting for him to be a part of big screen. Sami Khan remains a victim of typecasting, he is also a talent wasted!
Agha Ali: Absolutely no introduction needed, in my view this guy is a pioneer of Pakistani Showbiz. What he cannot do? He is actor, director, singer, anchor, lyrist and excellent music composer. Then I don’t know why he chose to limit his abilities to dramas only and moreover against a particular actress Sarah Khan. He is a perfect Cinema material. Agha Ali could have become the heartthrob of Industry but he chose not to be, he has definitely lost his position in industry. Agha Ali is a true case of Talent Wasted, I hope he will clinch back his popularity once again and sign some good scripts or film in future.
Naveen Waqar: This lady is unquestionably dynamic and got range. I was in awe when I watched her debut performance in drama serial “Humsafar”. She could have accomplished heights of success but marrying azfar affected her career negatively. After drama serial “Humsafar” it took her 2 years to finally step back in industry but till then she had lost her true fame. There is not such so much in her portfolio and there are also very less projects for her in pipeline. She is a true talent futile.
So do you have any more names that you think is the talent wasted? Feel free to add the list.
