Anam Tanveer Believes Pakistanis are Misled about Quaid E Azam's Religion

Lately, Anam Tanveer appeared in FHM’s podcast, hosted by Adnan Faisal. In the podcast, she talked about Pakistani culture, Pakistani history and society.

Anam Tanveer Believes Pakistanis are Misled about Quaid E Azam's Religion

Talking about it, she said, “Get your facts right, tell the right history to Pakistani people. Tell that non Muslims came here for education and trade, they were more progressive and worked for Pakistan. Tell them who Jinnah was?.Tell that Pakistan is a secular country. Non Muslims worked here for years for the sake of the welfare of Pakistan. They gave you the railway tracks, they built systems, you have destroyed it. They built roads and infrastructure. Who was Quaid E Azam? He wasn’t Muslim. Sir! he was a Parsi. There are two debates on this, some say, ‘he was Muslim’ and some don’t agree to it. I don’t want to get into this debate but what I just wanted to say that Gonds came to India and Pakistan after Portuguese invasion, they were Christians, so they did work in Pakistan. We have a messed up curriculum. They don’t teach us right history”. Here is the link to the video:

Mental illnesses are real. A very young soul succumbed to it. If anyone see someone getting bullied, then stand up for them and if you are the ones going through this trauma, be strong and seek help if you have to!

Anam Ahmad Criticized For Lying About Her Age

0

Anam Ahmad obviously did not expect people to make fun of her when she posted a picture of herself on her birthday telling her fans that she just turned 20. Many of the people claimed that the model was lying about her age because in 2012 she posted her picture on her birthday saying she just turned 18! The post has been deleted from her facebook page after some people made references to it. This goes to show how cruel social media can be sometimes, even when you don’t expect people to criticize you some unexpected criticism comes your way any way.

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Pakistani dramas revolve around family stories and we get to see several angles of scripts revolving around family drama. The main lead cast always plays a huge role in the drama, whether will be watched by a huge audience or not. But casting is not always great and sometimes we get to see the most absurd pairings that make no sense according to the story lines. Wrong casting also takes away from the show’s impact, which happens a lot in Pakistan.

Age gap casting is pretty common in Pakistan. 40 and 50+ men playing lead characters opposite women in their 20s. If the story serves this or if the actors work hard to maintain themselves, such pairings work but many times the lead actors end up looking absurd. Let’s analyze Pakistani dramas age gap romances of 2024:

Danish Taimoor & Laiba Khan

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Danish Taimoor is a bankable star and all his dramas end up getting ratings and views even if there is no content. This year he did a project titled Teri Chhaon Mein. The show was average and he starred opposite content creator and debutant Laiba Khan. The age gap between the two actors is a lot and unfortunately it was visible in the drama. They lacked any chemistry and looked awkward as a couple. This was one casting choice that shows how Pakistani dramas do not know how to do casting.

Danish Taimoor & Komal Meer

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Danish Taimoor was once again in a casting this year which made no sense even on paper. He shared the screen with Komal Meer in Rah e Junoon. They were both again shown as the same age and it did not look good on the screen. Danish is talented and fit but Komal looks way younger than him. This was once again a pairing that could have been better. Another Pakistani dramas age gap casting gone wrong.

Fahad Mustafa & Hania Aamir

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir broke records in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. They are two stars with a huge age gap and on paper did not seem like a good pairing. But the work put in by the team made them look incredible together. Fahad Mustafa had lost weight and he also styled himself in a younger look. Hania on the other hand was styled in a mature manner and this made them look great together. This is a lesson for Pakistani dramas makers on how to make age gap casting in romances look good.

Faysal Quraishi & Durefishan Saleem

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Faysal Quraishi and Durefishan Saleem were cast opposite each other in the thriller drama Khaie. Now this is what actually makes sense. The two actors were shown to have a huge age gap in the story and the casting thus makes total sense. This is how you should cast actors with a huge age gap when the script actually demands it and not everything is done according to followers and views.

Nauman Ijaz & Hareem Farooq

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Nauman Ijaz and Hareem Farooq became the most vicious duo of Pakistani dramas this year. TT and Masooma received a lot of hate but the actors received appreciation for such a great portrayal. This is another age gap romance with the right casting. Bismil was about two people with a generation gap who get married in a dubious manner. Thus Hareem and Nauman’s age gap looked good because it was according to the demand of the story.

Khushhal Khan & Ramsha Khan

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Khushhal Khan and Ramsha Khan have a small age gap in real life and the two starred opposite each other in Duniyapur. The stars actually worked on their looks in the drama and they are looking incredible. This is a good choice by the makers when we have a leading lady who is a few years older than the leading man. Otherwise we just keep getting 50 year olds with 20 year old women. Ramsha and Khushhal have been great together on screen.

Kubra Khan & Ali Raza

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Kubra Khan and Ali Raza appeared together in Noor Jaan. This is another good change in the industry where a younger man was cast with the top leading lady. This is also a testament to how a strong story and good performances overshadow such concerns. Fans were not too happy with the casting early on when Noor Jahan aired but they ended up loving the couple later on.

Usman Mukhtar & Sehar Khan

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

This Jafaa pairing had to have an age gap according to the story but Usman did not look good with Sehar. The pairing looked off as Usman did not put in much effort in his looks in the show. Sehar looked way too young opposite him and this is not how age gap romances should be done.

Danial Afzal Khan & Aina Asif

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

This casting in Woh Ziddi Di is nothing short of criminal. Aina Asif is a good actress but she is still a minor and she is already playing such mature roles without any reason. An older girl would have been so much better in the role. Aina is way too young and she did not look good with Danial Afzal Khan. Pakistani dramas need to do better in casting when they work with child actors.

Ahad Raza Mir & Dananeer Mobeen

Analyzing Pakistani Dramas Age Gap Romances

Ahad Raza Mir and Dananeer Mobeen are working together in Meem Se Mohabbat. The story does demand an age gap between the leads and thus the casting is okay. However, till now we have very much of a cousin/sibling vibe from the lead pair and it may get better in the upcoming episodes.

Pakistani dramas need to do better for the most part while casting leads in age gap romances and should not cast actors with huge age gaps when the script does not demand it and the difference is starkly visible!

Analyzing Mayi Ri’s Viewership & Ratings

0

“Mayi Ri” is a soap serial that airs on ARY Digital and has garnered massive viewership. In the producer’s own words, it promised to “highlight the rotten fabric of society. Child marriage is an issue that is prevalent in our society and “Mayi Ri” depicts it beautifully”. This soap will soon be hitting the 50-episode mark and recently it has sparked a profound and unprecedented debate about the highly sensitive and tabooed issue of forced child marriages. The main reason for this debate is the main plot of the drama. The story revolves around young teenagers who are forced to enter into a Nikkah by their families and now they are expecting their first child. The main issue here is the way all of these things have been presented on-screen. What is even more surprising is that “Mayi Ri” continues to be one of the most viewed dramas and there are plenty of people out there who are actually justifying the plot. Let’s talk about the reasons for the popularity of the drama and the reasons why some people are justifying forced child marriages!

Different Kinds of Viewers

Most of the viewers tuned into “Mayi Ri” initially because they were under the impression that this drama would create awareness about the deeply troubling issue of child marriage. Since this is one of those complex social issues that aren’t addressed in dramas most of the viewers were inquisitive about what “Mayi Ri” had to offer. Those viewers who started watching the drama with this state of mind they were looking forward to witnessing how the writer would show the complex consequences of forced child marriage. These would include the loss of education, health risks, and issues related to mental health.

There are obviously plenty of those viewers as well who watch dramas only for entertainment purposes and they find the entire discussion about dramas being a tool for change absurd, Therefore, many such viewers tune into soap serials and turn out to be the ones who make or break these dramas.

Viewers who started watching the drama with the above-mentioned mindset were disappointed when they realized that “Mayi Ri” failed to highlight the issues related to child marriage, especially with reference to mental health and other consequences related to the children involved. However, there are many others who continue to not only watch the drama but also praise it because of its pace and storyline. Such viewers obviously don’t see child marriage as an issue. Many of them give religious reasons for the mindset.

The loyal fans of the drama also hold the perspective that portraying Fakhir, the male lead character, as a mature and responsible husband was a commendable decision made by the drama makers. This viewpoint stands in stark contrast to the opinions of those who oppose this series for glorifying forced child marriage. Some of these fans are also those viewers who do not analyze the content of dramas and watch them purely as an entertainment medium.

Daily Episodes – a Contributing Factor

Another major reason for the massive viewership of this soap is the combination of daily episodes and shocking plot twists. This effectively creates a sense of addiction for the viewers. Because of the fact that this drama airs every single day of the week, most viewers find themselves completely invested in the world of “Mayi Ri.” They are eager to uncover the next surprising revelation or unravel the consequences of the latest dramatic turn of events. This engagement often extends beyond just passive viewership, with fans discussing the show’s developments with friends and family, participating in online forums, and speculating about future plot twists. This daily broadcasting strategy coupled with controversial or shocking turns in the story has always worked wonders for the producers.

Social Media Discussions

Social media platforms have become virtual arenas where viewers dissect, debate, and speculate on the latest developments in dramas. “Mayi Ri” has been in the limelight ever since the 10th episode when Ainee and Fakhir entered into a Nikkah. While many of the viewers have been criticizing the plot, it has given rise to curiosity and has added to the popularity of the drama. The producers have strategically harnessed the power of controversy. They have used unbelievable plot twists and shock-inducing moments to sustain and amplify these discussions. This deliberate approach has been instrumental in keeping the buzz surrounding the show alive. The producers clearly believe that no publicity is bad publicity.

The Tapestry of Interpretations

It is a fact that a significant portion of the viewers perceive “Mayi Ri” as a realistic portrayal of certain cultural norms, particularly those related to child marriage. These Viewers believe that the narrative of the drama does not deviate from an accurate representation of the circumstances under which child marriages take place. In their perspective, “Mayi Ri” neither sensationalizes nor distorts the practice of child marriage, but rather, it is viewed as a true reflection of social dynamics.

Such viewers argue that the series does not glorify or endorse child marriage but instead, endeavors to shed light on the complexities surrounding it. From their standpoint, “Mayi Ri” serves as a platform for raising awareness and initiating discussions about the subject.

Defending Forced Child Marriage: Why?

A significant portion of individuals who do not perceive child marriage as a problem often cite religion as their primary justification for supporting it. Somehow such viewers forget that Islam lays significant emphasis on the concept of mutual consent in the context of marriage; especially the girl’s consent is of utmost importance. This principle goes to prove that both individuals entering into the marital contract should willingly agree to it, without any form of coercion or pressure. Since such discussions are often termed taboo, most people do not even want to engage in them. That is exactly what the drama makers want. Ainee and Fakhir are not just underage but they were forced into this marriage as well.

Ultimately, the debate surrounding child marriage and religion is complex. It entails respectful dialogue, cultural sensitivity, and efforts to balance religious freedom with the protection of children’s rights. It is also one of those discussions which depends heavily on an individual’s own point of view.

Final Thoughts

To sum up, “Mayi Ri” attracts a diverse array of viewers, each holding contrasting viewpoints. While some viewers find the show’s portrayal of child marriage realistic and non-problematic, there are also those who find this portrayal flawed and insensitive. The debate surrounding “Mayi Ri’s” impact and message on child marriage continues to be a subject of heated discussion among its viewers. These diverse opinions make the debate surrounding “Mayi Ri’s” subject matter and its impact on society more complex. This debate has definitely helped highlight the importance of critical reflection on the portrayal of sensitive subjects in dramas. The real question is, are our drama makers paying attention?

Those viewers who expected this drama to discourage child marriage and ultimately contribute to the collective efforts aimed at eradicating child marriage from the fabric of society definitely do not have enough to hold on to! But those who tuned into this drama for entertainment purposes and find the circumstances shown in the drama relatable are definitely going to be watching this one till the end. At the end of the day, both sets of viewers contribute to the drama’s ratings which obviously matter more than anything else to the producers and the channel.

Analysis of Coke Studio 9! Too many cooks spoil the broth

0

Coke Studio Pakistan without any doubt played a huge role in reviving our music industry which is still in deficit. Coke Studio is popular for creating fusion and blending different genre of music. Coke Studio Pakistan was first devised by Maestro Rohail Hayatt and he produced it until season 6. Rohail Hayatt Music Composition expertise had taken this Juggernaut of Music to whole new level. This Music Genius is largely credited for fusing impeccably different genre of music into one song. Rohail definitely made waves with his stint in Coke Studio, due to this “We want Rohail Back” became some sort of a popular slogan now in every season of coke studio. I may not be able express the level of Coke Studio established by Rohail Hayatt but if you listen to songs like “Jugni” “chori chori by Meesha Shafi” “Ishq aap bhe awalla by Meesha Shafi and Chakwal Group” “Panchi by Jal and QB” “Yaar Daddi Ishq aatish by Ali Zafar” “charkha Nolakha by atif and Umair” “Saari raat by Noori” “Aik Alif by saeen zahoor and Noori” “Jal Pari by Atif” “Rung by Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad” you will come to know why Coke Studio Pakistan become a signature fusion music platform.

After Producing 5 successful seasons Rohail failed to enthral audience in Season6. The Idea to encompass international musicians didn’t functioned at all. After Season 6 the production was handover to Strings. Strings received heavy criticism from audience when they produced season 7, surely the essence of coke studio lost all of a sudden and it was evident that experimenting is not Strings’ thing. It is true that most of the performances in Season 7 are simple flat renditions and not up to Coke Studio’s Standard. If we try to recall Season 7 only two songs knock our memory “Chaap Tilak” and “Tum Naraaz ho”

Strings took criticism in a constructive way and that’s why Season 8 was a mighty hit. The notion to include big names like Ali Zafar, Atif Aslam, Ali Azmat and QB clasped audience attention. Almost all performances from season 8 received heavy acclaims. Special mentions of season 8 are “Tajdar-e-haram” by atif “Sammi meri waar” by QB and Umair “Man amad-e-am” by Gul Panra and Atif “Bewajah” by Nabeel and “Hina Ki Khushboo” by Asim and Samra.

Season 8 confidently restored faith in Coke Studio and expectations were high this year. However Strings got another plan which results in utter failure. They decided to bring 6 Music directors so that spectators can witness more diversity in music. Strings assumed that this initiative will spellbind viewers but it came out as unqualified disappointment. Hence the result of Season 9 was “too many cooks spoil the broth”.

So what are the main reasons of Season 9 failure in comparison with Season 8?

1. First of all there was hardly any fusion in each rendition except “Paar Chanah”. Most of the Songs were simple flat executions and below par. It seemed like music directors were trying to make use of every musical instrument.

2. We have indeed listened to different flavours of music but there was hardly any creativity. If you listen closely to songs while your eyes are shut, you will automatically grade most of the performances as average. Few Songs like “Aja Morey Saiyaan” “Dil Ruba” “Paar Chanah” “Baliye (Laung Gawacha)” “Shamaan Pai Gaiyan/Kee Dum da bharosa” proved to be coke studio material . The version of “Rang” performed by Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad in Season 5 was far better than Rahat’s and Amjad’s one, bluntly saying Coke Studio this time cashed Amjad Sabri’s death and released his rendition in the end so that viewers can follow each and every episode right till the end.

3. The cast lacked Quality I was hoping for star studded performances like previous season, on the contrary I have witnessed most of the singers for the very first time in my life for example Natasha Khan, Nirmal Roy, Jabar Abbas, Basit Ali, Damia Faaroqi etc. I wish they have invested in big names instead of music directors duh!

4. Strings are well aware of dedicated “Tharak” our nation comprehends, they experienced it last year with Gul Panra. Hence this time they use Mominah like a Cash Cow giving her three songs in one season. The overuse of Mominah was simply annoying. Rachel deserved more songs because she is continuously serving this platform for last six seasons as backing vocalist or in either case Aima Baig would be a better choice.

5. Coke Studio was popular for picking old Pakistani tracks and fusing it with different genre of music. The experiment to construct music around 60% new songs and 40% old tracks also failed big time.

So who remained the Most Successful Music Director?

In terms of Music Direction in my opnion only Noori, and Jaffer Zaidi did a good job. Shiraz Uppal, Shani Arshad, Faakhir and Shuja Haider might be a good music composer but creating fusion is not their thing.

Noori definitely cleaned sweep this season, they presented every flavour of Music with Fusion. Whether talk about “Aja Morey Saiyyan” “Baliye (Laung Gawacha)” “Paar Chanah” “O Re” every performance is mesmerising. Specially “Paar Chanah” restored my faith in Coke Studio and reminded me of Rohail’s Era.

Next is Jaffer for “Janay na tu” “Uddi Ja”and “Lagi Bina/ Challa Mele Noon Challiye”. I wish Faakhir had performed in earlier seasons but it’s good he was finally called by Coke Studio, however he is not a good music director at all. Only “Dil Ruba” and “Afreen Afreen” are good.

Shani Arshad, Shiraz and Shuja failed to mesmerize me with their music compositions. Their compositions might work in Drama or Film OSTs but surely not for Coke Studio.

So what audience liked the most?

Season 9 proved to be a total disappointment, I hope strings will come out with some better plan in next season but for sure they are destroying essence of coke studio which Rohail had established in his era. So what are your views on Season 9?

Anaa Episode 8 – 11 – Story Review

These episodes of Anaa covered more of the family politics and the new turns in all the romantic/not-so-romantic tracks. After making some of the most important decisions of their lives in haste and anger, Daneen and Areesh both were shown suffering in different ways. While Daneen tried to make her marriage work, Areesh being the coward that he is, could not own the decision he took. Areesh has been shown as a really weak man while Daneen definitely has more guts than him. Ezza continued to sideline her actual feelings for Altamash and there were times when it was difficult to understand how serious Altamash was regarding this relationship. Some of the dialogues and situations are already getting repetitive. Even though Daneen is flawed and most of the times she is clueless as well but she is the reason I tune into this drama every week. She is more honest than most of the characters in this play and whatever she has done so far has harmed no one but herself. Hania Aamir’s performance has been superb throughout. Naimal Khawar and Usman Mukhtar’s on-screen chemistry makes you root for them but their relationship annoys me at times. I would definitely like to see them together on screen again.

The Love Triangles

These episodes covered Daneen’s attempts to settle down in her marriage but Saif had some serious reservations about the kind of relationship Daneen wanted. Saif has accepted Daneen as his wife but he isn’t the kind of man who will give Daneen the sort of companionship she wants. That is something Saif made quite clear before they got married but even then Daneen is getting sick of the constant comparisons and wants more from this relationship. Even though Daneen is immature, at times clever but she is no match for the more mature people around her who have their way more often than her. Although her phupo kept on giving her advices which were anything but positive, Daneen did not go running back into Areesh’s arms. While Areesh is being unfaithful and he is more than willing to divorce Aania, Daneen tried to help Aania whichever way she could. Also, her apology when Areesh picked up the phone and told her how he felt showed that she did not want to hurt Aania.

Anaa Episode 8 - 11 - Story Review

Altamash’s girlfriend and Ezza’s cousin are the two new characters which were introduced in these episodes. While Altamash’s girlfriend was insecure after finding out that he liked Ezza, Kabeer does not harbor any such feelings for Ezza, which is definitely a relief. The Altamash/Ezza track has a very non-desi feel to it. Some of the dialogues and scenarios however are not always pleasing. Ezza drinking Pulmonol and getting intoxicated was one such scene which reminded me of drama serial Ashk! The ‘talab ki machli’ dialogue was especially weird mainly because of the way it was written. The fact that Altamash is a ‘good catch’ was repeated many times. Nazia wants to see Altamash and Ezza together and it looks like she will eventually make it happen. Ezza’s denial of her feelings for Altamash is actually getting irritating now but I guess it is her anaa which isn’t allowing her to accept her feelings. The way Altamash gave his girlfriend a warning was in bad taste, unless there is an actual reason for showing his aggressive side.

Nazia’s Materialistic Approach

In these episodes the viewers saw how Nazia has changed. She doesn’t only want revenge but her entire approach towards everything is quite materialistic and shallow. Her husband naturally does not like the changes in her and her personality overall is annoying. She feels entitled to this better life and living it the way she wants after being away for all these years. She is a perfect example of how negative and bitter some people get after they have such unpleasant experiences. I think the reason why there has been so much focus on her attitude is that sooner or later she will be the reason why Altamash and Ezza get married.

Overall Impression

I know most people are watching this drama for Ezza and Altamash but for me Daneen is the main attraction. After watching these few episodes I am having a tough time liking Altamesh’s character since there are times when he comes across as a really twisted human being. Daneen’s character, the portrayal and her relationship with everyone around her are the reasons why I continue to watch and enjoy this drama. I am losing my patience with Ezza and Altamash they are clearly attracted to one another but they are constantly telling each other off as well. Daneen is more honest and now her ego has definitely taken a backseat in her life. Her character is easier to understand and relate to. You can’t help but feel for Aania but she is also to be blamed for being such a doormat. The performances have been on point, the family politics is the least interesting part of this drama but some of the other tracks are interesting enough.

Anaa Episode 22 Story Review – The Reactions

Tonight’s episode was relatively slow paced considering this was the 22nd episode and something major happened last week. This episode covered almost all the tracks and some of the tracks are going around in circles. This drama continues to be not-so-desi and at the same time there are some characters which play the zalim samaj with great dedication.

The Love Triangles

Anya’s role tonight was surprising as well as really difficult to connect to since her actual feelings were not shown. The fact that she was willing to do anything at all to please Areesh wasn’t surprising or unbelievable but surely this was not easy for her. There wasn’t a single scene in this episode which covered her true emotions at this moment. It was however good to see her being relieved when she left her in law’s house. Daneen and Areesh are planning to run away but no one talked about how Daneen was going to get a divorce from Saif. Daneen feels for Anya and she is ‘thankful’ but she does not want to let go of Areesh. Daneen is back to being her careless self mainly because of the fact that no one really looked out for her when she needed support. Daneen however is making yet another mistake and Saif even after all this is not willing to give her a divorce.

Anaa Episode 22 Story Review - The Reactions

After giving up on Ezza, Altamash decided to call his ex and ended up meeting Ezza unexpectedly yet again. Kabir bhai’s outburst was completely unexpected and I don’t understand why the men in this drama manhandle the women whenever they are upset. One thing is for sure that Ezza’s ‘no’ always means a yes since after refusing to go out for coffee with Kabir, she was at the coffee shop with him in the next scene. The scene at the coffee shop was really cute until Kabir lost it! Naimal Khawar is especially cute in scenes covering her discomfort while she is around Altamash. Altamash once again mistook Kabir as Ezza’s ‘love interest’ which was slightly disappointing considering he is a smart guy who really should know better. Hopefully after finding out what Nazia has done, he will figure out why Ezza was too embarrassed to talk to him even. Altamash’s reaction after he found out everything that had happened was quite ‘thanda’ considering he is so over protective about Anya. Also, Ghazanfar didn’t try hard enough to find Areesh since he had an inkling that Anya was in touch with him.

Final Remarks

Tonight’s episode covered some of the reactions, the viewers have yet to see how Daneen’s father will react to the latest developments. The preview of the next episode suggested that something tragic is about to happen. It would have been nice if we got to see more of Daneen’s father since he was not shown thinking about Daneen even once after that visit. Waiting to find out how these complicated situations are eventually resolved. Anaa has definitely been an interesting watch but some of the situations are getting highly repetitive. It is certainly time to wrap things up since the drama so far has been well paced. Daneen, even with all her flaws, continues to be the most appealing aspect of this drama. I am still hoping that she will eventually be the one who will convince Areesh to go back to Anya.

Do share your thoughts about tonight’s episode of Anaa.

Anaa Episode 21 Story Review – Impulsive Decisions

This latest episode of Anaa had some shocking revelations, few scenarios which were not very convincing and others which made me wonder how this story will end. I have said this before, Anaa is not the kind of drama you overanalyze therefore I am not going to do that but Altamash’s complete ignorance (considering the media was somehow covering this story – but why?!!) was not the least bit convincing. Other than that, this episode was fast paced and it showed that some of the characters deep down are still the same people they were in the beginning. Some of these characters are paying for the wrong decisions they took and others are merely playing in the hands of those who want to take revenge.

What I really like about this story is that everyone is fully responsible in some way or the other for the decisions they have taken and no one can really say that these relationships were forced on them. Most often in our dramas there is more focus on society and family but in this play there is more focus on each individual, which in my opinion is a mature approach.

Areesh Continues Playing The Victim

Areesh has gone from falling in love with Anya to feeling cheated and betrayed. It is almost as if he feels like he has a ticket now to do whatever he wishes just because Anya hid something about her past. Areesh’s extreme actions and his short term planning is completely in line with his character. He has proven yet again that he cannot be trusted but Daneen is madly in love and cannot see that. Few weeks back, Daneen was trying to bring Areesh and Anya together but now that she has seen what Saif is capable of and after being abandoned by her family, Areesh it seems is the only escape. She wants to start over without thinking of the repercussions. In the previous few episodes it seemed like Daneen knew better now but once she found out that she will never be able to win Saif over, she was back to being her rebellious old self.

Nazia played a major role in getting the message across and Areesh like always, changed his mind a little too easily. Areesh easily passes as one of the most irresponsible male leads we have seen in dramas this year. Although there isn’t anything remotely likable about Areesh but his character has been etched-out nicely and Shehzad Sheikh’s performance couldn’t have been better.

Anaa Episode 21 Story Review - Impulsive Decisions

The Repercussions of Wrong Decisions

Daneen and Anya are two characters which are paying for their wrong decisions therefore although you feel for them but they don’t entirely come across as victims. Daneen got married to Saif because she wanted to make Areesh jealous therefore she has no one else to blame but herself. Same is true for Anya, she chose to marry a man who she knew did not love her and didn’t tell him the ‘secret’ even though she knew that she should have. That does not justify what is happening to these characters or how their husbands are treating them but by writing their tracks in such a way, the writer successfully avoided a few clichés. Hania Aamir’s portrayal has been brilliant throughout, I absolutely love how she owns the reckless element of Daneen’s personality in particular. Areeba Shahood has done justice to her character but the fact that Anya is a complete doormat makes her character less appealing.

Nazia’s Plan

After finding out that the Shergarh family didn’t have the financial edge any more and Izza needed to get married to someone rich and influential in order to get that edge, Nazia changed her plan altogether. She went back to her husband so that she could somehow convince Izza to get married to Altamash. It was good to see that her husband guessed that she had an ulterior motive. Tara Mehmood has played her role superbly, she makes you hate her character more with every passing episode. Farhan Ali Agha is extremely likable as the docile and loving husband. Izza ignored her mother because she is obviously really mad at her.

Anaa Episode 21 Story Review - Impulsive Decisions

Altamash and Izza

Altamash is finally showing interest in Izza like never before but now the situation is such that Izza is too embarrassed and ashamed to talk to him even. Altamash’s complete ignorance in this episode made absolutely no sense considering he is back in Pakistan. Surely a man like him is really well connected and in touch with media personnel. Naimal Khawar and Usman Mukhtar’s performances however continue to be solid. Kabir bhai keeps you guessing since he can be quite unreasonable at times. Shamil Khan has performed really well too in a negative role.

Final Remarks

The story has picked up pace and it seems that things will only get worse before they get better. It is impossible to predict what turn different tracks will take. Hopefully Daneen will meet Anya at some point and she will make a good decision for Areesh since he can never take one on his own. Waiting to find out what turn the story takes now.

HUM is going overboard trying to promote Superstar. Showing an entire song from the film more than 10 times in a day and showing tickers throughout the day is awfully annoying.

Anaa Episode 19 – 20 Story Review – The Secret Is Out

These two episodes were fast paced and the true colors of most of the characters were revealed in these episodes. Episode 19 gave hope that Izza and Altamash might finally accept and acknowledge their feelings for each other but the developments in the next episode made it impossible for Izza to even stay in touch with Altamash. Nazia executed her plan to take revenge from the Shamshernagar family and that changed everything for everyone involved. Nazia’s negativity is growing with every passing episode and it seems like there is no end to the hatred between these families. Daneen got very little screen time in the latest episode but her frame of mind and stance was made quite clear in episode 19.

Anaa Episode 19 - 20 Story Review - The Secret Is Out

Flawed Yet Interesting Characters

The characters and the story continues to be interesting although at times it is more twisted than anything else. Even though Daneen is acting like a fool but you can’t help but feel for her since a lot of what is happening is Areesh’s fault as well. Areesh’s character is a lot like that of Jamil from Aangan – he is always confused about what he wants from life and he lacks integrity. Some of the dialogues also remind me of the character Shehzad Sheikh played in Khud Parast. Although Areesh’s character isn’t the least bit likable but Shehzad Sheikh has done complete justice to it by translating all of his weaknesses superbly on screen. Areesh needs to grow up big time and he is too impulsive, emotional and at times selfish. Having a father like Ghazanfar and a daadi who is so headstrong could be the reason why Areesh never learned to make decisions on his own and stick to them.

Anaa Episode 19 - 20 Story Review - The Secret Is Out

Nazia’s character is like that of Bari Apa (played by Savera Nadeem) and I have a feeling that her end too will be a lot like that character. Daneen’s father is completely missing in action which doesn’t add up since he was always so close to Daneen and now after making such a big decision, the viewers needed to see what he has been feeling and going through. Saif’s decision to punish Daneen showed what he was capable of and even though Daneen has not been the ‘perfect wife’ but she definitely deserves better than Saif. Daneen continues to be stubborn and unreasonable therefore this is another scenario which is quite messed up. She had the option of going home with her phupo but the fact that her father completely disowned her could be another reason why she is relying on Areesh more than ever.

The change in Altamash’s attitude was the most positive development in these episodes. For a change he apologized to Izza, admitted he was wrong and told her the truth about Nashwa. Some of Izza’s dialogues were repetitive but it was good to see this track moving to the next phase. I am waiting to see Altamash’s reaction once he finds out what Nazia has done. I liked the way Izza told Kabir off and the way Kabir tried to dictate to her was also completely in line with his character. Kabir’s character is actually quite interesting. Nashwa also has a sudden interest in Altamash and she is no longer trying to win him over to please her father.

Anaa Episode 19 - 20 Story Review - The Secret Is Out

Ghazanfar’s ‘ghairat’ and ‘izzat’ once again took a backseat in these episodes when he was shown confronting Altamash and Saif both. Ghazanfar and Nazia are more twisted than they are flawed. They let their hatred and ego dictate to them – for them ‘winning’ is everything.

Final Remarks

It isn’t very often that such messed up scenarios and flawed characters have such an appeal. Anaa continues to be entertaining in its own way and a huge credit for that goes to the director and the actors involved. Even with things getting so dark at times, the overall feel of this play is never too gloomy.

Anaa Episode 12 – 18 Story Review – Entertaining

The situations and feelings of different characters changed drastically in these episodes. Anaa continues to be a drama which is entertaining and it is also a nice break from all the heavy duty dramas which we see during the week. Anaa continues to focus on relationships and not issues, the anaa (ego) of some of the characters even now directs the course of some of these relationships. All the main characters of this drama are flawed in some way or the other. While the older generation still hasn’t moved on, the younger lot has their own struggles.

Daneen, Aania, Areesh & Saif

There was a time when Daneen genuinely wanted to make her marriage work even though Saif already told her that he was too busy and still in love with his first wife. When he said that obviously Daneen had no idea that he was not just going to ignore her but he was also going to control her in every way possible. The hitting continued like it was normal and Daneen kept on running to Areesh because their meetings were like an escape from a life which was boring and it was hurting her as well. This marriage was Daneen’s idea as well – a decision she took in haste in order to make Areesh ‘jealous’ therefore she is definitely responsible partially for the way things are right now.

Anaa Episode 12 - 18 Story Review - Entertaining

Daneen has always been immature, emotional and impulsive therefore the decisions she has been taking so far have always made perfect sense. Making these decisions was easy for her but living this life is anything but easy. She is still living in the past and continues to take risks in order to prove to Saif that he cannot control her. Daneen’s attempts to make Areesh accept Aania as his life partner showed that even though she didn’t have the courage to leave this man but she was also not the kind of person who would destroy someone’s life intentionally. When she got the news of Aania’s pregnancy, her reaction went perfectly well with the timing. Areesh definitely lead her on by telling her that he will always be by her side and that she should leave Saif. Even though Daneen already knows that Areesh wass incapable of taking a stand for anyone at all but she fell for him yet again.

Both of these characters are immature and I am not certain about Areesh but Daneen is still in love with Areesh. While Areesh has a wife who loves him and will do anything for him, Daneen’s situation is quite different. After Areesh’s attempt to take revenge from Saif (in his own irresponsible way) things took a turn for the worse for Daneen as well. This situation also brought Areesh and Aania together since Aania covered for him. All the actors involved in this complicated, messed up love triangle have been playing their roles superbly. Hania Aamir’s expressions and dialogue delivery never disappoints. Shehzad Sheikh makes Areesh’s weaknesses come alive on screen and makes you understand the flaws in his character so well. This is who Areesh is and I have a feeling he will never change. Waiting to see how Areesh will react when he finds out Aania’s ‘secret’ from her past.

Altamash, Ezza & Nashwa

Altamash’s character has been well established as the best possible suitor for ever woman in his circle, a great catch, ladies’ man who plays hard to get and definitely someone who has his own weird way of showing that he cares. He clearly likes Ezza and cannot see her with anyone else yet he won’t pursue her, the way any other man would. Ezza on the other hand it seems is afraid of being rejected by a man who she is attracted towards but one who keeps on making her feel like she isn’t important enough. So far, Ezza has definitely tried harder to get Altamash’s attention even though she keeps on saying she couldn’t care less. The only reason she gave that statement about not wanting to marry Altamash even if he was the last man on earth was that she felt even more insulted because of the spectators.

Anaa Episode 12 - 18 Story Review - Entertaining

The latest revelations about Nashwa’s personal life were shocking. Nashwa’s father and Daadi are constantly judging other people yet their own daughter is leading a double life. Even after Nashwa’s father was quite sure that she had been meeting a man, he didn’t take the kind of action which he would have if this was Daneen or Ezza. I like how the writer has highlighted the hypocrisy of these characters without being preachy. There are times when Naimal Khawar’s appearance doesn’t go well with her character but her overall performance has been solid. Usman Mukhtar fits this character so well and I feel that no one else could have brought out the good and the not-so-good points of this character alive on screen better than him.

Final Remarks

I am thoroughly enjoying watching this drama, even more so now. The performances, direction and the story is simple but it continues to give you something to look forward to. I find myself rooting for Daneen even when she is being her own biggest enemy. At the same time I don’t want to see Aania getting hurt. I wish Altamash would finally settle down and tell Ezza how he feels about her. Some of the dialogues and the situations can be repetitive but the great thing about watching a drama online is that you can forward the bits which are boring. Thankfully Kabir continues to be the ‘bhai’ and he has not fallen for Ezza. Looking forward to the next episode.

Anaa Episode 1 – 7 – An Overview

Writer: Samira Fazal
Director – Shehzad Kashmiri
Producer – MD Productions
Schedule – Every Sunday 8pm HUM

An over-inflated ego (Anaa) ruins relationships and keeps people from accepting their true feelings for each other. It makes it difficult for even the most intelligent individuals to make the right choices and most importantly makes it impossible for people to forgive and move on. This drama serial so far has stayed true to its title and explores how ego destroys even the most valued relationships and keeps people from loving each other. Everyone has an ego but some people hold their ego dearer than everything else and that is when things take a turn for the worse. With the exception of a few characters, most of the characters in this drama have been shown making the most important decisions of their lives in anger because of which generations have suffered.

Anaa isn’t just a love story but it explores relationships in general which are rather complex. The best thing about this play is that all the tracks are interesting in their own way. The drama overall has been thoroughly entertaining throughout. The fresh casting and the overall treatment given to a script which is rather simple, makes this drama one of the most engaging shows on air right now.

The Characters

The story revolves around the young characters but their decisions are largely influenced by the older lot and whatever happened in the past. Daneen’s character, played convincingly and effortlessly by Hania Aamir, is a young girl who is constantly pressurized by her Dadi sahab (Seemi Raheel) to follow the norms of the Nawab family. The softhearted and open-minded Dada sahab (Irfan Khoosat) protects Daneen and her father (Raju Jamil) is equally flexible.

Anaa Episode 1 - 7 - An Overview

The viewers who are watching the show must be acquainted with the backstory and the reasons why Dadi sahiba dislikes Daneen so much. Dadi Sahiba and her son (Shamil Khan) hold on to past grudges and play the samaj ki dewar in this love story. Daneen and Areesh’s (Shehzad Sheikh) relationship has gone through many changes in these seven episodes. What started off as playful romance became a heartbreak story really soon. The writer has convincingly shown how two young people who are in love can sometimes make impulsive decisions which they regret later. Daneen and Areesh love each other but they end up getting married to people who they never even thought of being with. These decisions which were made in anger and haste changed the entire course of the story. Daneen’s phupo Nazia (Tara Mehmood) is another person who no longer wants to sit back and watch Dadi have her way. In the latest episode Daneen was seen taking instructions from Nazia because she too does not want to see Areesh or his family happy.

Ezza (Naimal Khawar) is nothing like her cousin Daneen, she is mature, intelligent and calculated. Ezza is always the voice of reason but Daneen never listens to her. Altamesh played stylishly by Usman Mukhtar has been one of the most intriguing and appealing characters in this show. His relationship with Aania (Areeba Alvi) is one of the most heartwarming elements of this drama. Altamesh’s character is layered and different. Daneen and Altamesh are the main reasons why this drama has kept me hooked for so many weeks. Ezza and Altamesh’s love-hate relationship can sometimes be difficult to relate to perhaps because these actors share such amazing on-screen chemistry and have made-for-each-other written all over them.

Anaa Episode 1 - 7 - An Overview

Overall Impression

Anaa has a great deal going for it and even though the story isn’t entirely brand new but some of the tracks and characters are refreshing as well as relatable. The variety of characters also adds to its overall appeal. The performances and the overall treatment given to this show gives it the edge it needed to stand out from the crowd. Hania Aamir’s make-up in particular is cakey but her performance has been remarkable. I love the OST, it is catchy and cheerful. Even though the story in general is not a ‘happy’ one but the drama does not have a somber feel. I hope that this drama continues to be entertaining and fast paced.

An Update On Ali-Meesha’s Court Case Proceedings

0

A recent update on Meesha and Ali’s court case is here. The mother of Meesha Shafi, Saba Hameed appeared in court to record her statement as Meesha’s first witness.

An Update On Ali-Meesha's Court Case Proceedings

Saba Hameed testifies against Ali Zafar. Meesha’s first witness appeared in court and supported her allegations against Ali Zafar. Saba Hameed is a renowned TV actress and she is the first witness in the defamation case filed by Ali Zafar.

An Update On Ali-Meesha's Court Case ProceedingsSaba told the court that sexual harassment in the entertainment industry is common as it is in our society generally. She said that Meesha is a private person and best to resolve the issue before going public with her statement against Ali Zafar. Meesha was not prepared to work with Ali Zafar due to past incidents of sexual harassment. She told the court that her daughter informed her of the incident of harassment 10-15 days prior to going to the public. Saba recalled that her daughter told to her “I am never going to put myself in this position ever again” in reference to the incident of harassment. She described the mixed feelings of guilt and shame which stopped Meesha from coming forward after the first incident a few years back. She told the court that it was only after experiencing a pattern of behavior from Ali Zafar did her daughter feel compelled to come out or even mention the incidents of sexual harassment to anyone.

 

Saba further said that her daughter was speaking the truth and that she spoke in the public interest. SHE Also said that in her generation women were fearful about speaking on such matters like sexual harassment but now things have changed women are more courageous. They are speaking up and realizing that it is not their fault that if they are being sexually harassed and it is no one’s concern that if they choose to wear cloth of their choice and that should never be the reason/justification was inappropriate touching/sexual harassment or rape.

Saba Hameed disclosed that she was also aware of other women who have been sexually harassed by Ali Zafar but she is not choosing to disclose their names because of the privacy reasons of those women. She explained that it is difficult for a victim of sexual harassment to speak especially where the harasser and victim have a relationship of friendship and trust.

Saba also shared that since Meesha’s tweet, it was Meesha who had suffered more reputationally, financially, emotionally and socially. Saba also shed light on the systematic vilification campaign against Meesha and the allegations she faced about her statement. Saba said that victims who share their experiences and name their harassers are labeled as trouble makers in the industry and end up losing work. She also said that her daughter tapped into all avenues to resolve this situation but was unsuccessful and only then she takes the step to go public.

She stated that ” Meesha is perceived to be an empowered woman but it is true that even the bravest the  women experience fear of repercussion.”

Ali Zafar again failed to file a reply in the defamation case for Rs.2 billion filed by Meesha Shafi. Ali Zafar’s counsels have filed an application in the court asking the judge to stay Meesha’s defamation on the ground that Ali Zafar’s suit for defamation should be decided first. Meesha counsels have turned the move by Ali Zafar a dilatory tactic to avoid adjudication of Meesha’s case against Ali Zafar. The next date of the hearing has been set to November 2019.

An Upcoming Play of Faseeh Bari Khan “Faltu Larki”

0

The makers of  Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah, Faseeh Bari Khan and director Mazhar Moin are back again with another interesting play Faltu Larki.

Faltu Larki, the drama is comical exploration of how unfair the society gets towards women. The story is based upon a girl who comes from India and lives with a family in Lahore but is unable to stand for her right.

The drama is starring Seemi Raheel, Samiya Mumtaz, Hina Dilpazeer, Sumbal Abbas and Yasra Rizvi and also new talent.

Regarding the play Samiya Mumtaz said, “This is going to be very, very different from anything I’ve done before, I’ve often been stereotyped on television as a victim or a wailing woman; I want to change that image. This character isn’t dependent on any man.”

Regarding the Indo-Pak tensions Moin shared his feelings and said, “Emotions are more important. Pakistan and Indian share the same culture and ethnicity; for example, we turn a blind eye to the fact that there were/are inter-marriages happening. It’s difficult for those people to get their families to meet and mingle, despite having so much is common. We are just bent on trying to find differences rather than similarities and that’s a theme we tried to address.”

An open letter to the Pakistani filmmakers

0

I am sure there are few or several articles have been written on this topic but I want to put my two cents in as well. So the rule of the business is to produce or present a product which the customer wants or would want. For instance if one opens a boutique in Pakistan, he/she would keep or sale those clothes which are made according to the taste of Pakistani customers not per the customers in India or any other country otherwise the boutique will not work, right? Using the same analogy, let’s see if films made in Pakistan have a purpose to attract Pakistani audiences because they are the ones (at least for now since Pakistani movies have yet to make a mark in international market) who will make the film flop or hit, then isn’t it an idiocy that these films are made according to the taste of Indian audiences by coping Bollywood movies. Usually films and dramas are a way of promoting a country’s own culture and values and some solid entertainment to its people.

1 2

Let’s compare the Indian vs Pakistani audiences, they have a visible cultural and religious difference, otherwise Pakistan would still be a part of India. Pakistan has its own identity and the fact is majority of Pakistanis have their own distinguishable and traditional values according to the religion and culture. Therefore, Pakistani films should promote their own custom, values and lessons. Many Pakistanis have stopped watching Indian movies because of the obscenity in those films. Then why would these same audiences accept the same obscenity i.e. item songs, vulgar dialogues/comedy in their own movies. Even if a small percentage of people, accept these kind of movies then don’t expect the movie industry to thrive by ignoring the majority of the audiences. One would argue that Indian movies are so successful in Pakistan; however, not all Indian movies are successful in Pakistan and the some which are, is because of two reasons: first, Pakistan is not producing its own movies or good movies and second because most of these movies are cashing on big names like Shahrukh, Salman or Aamir khan, etc.

3

Our filmmakers must learn from our drama industry, it had almost crashed at one point when the producers, writers, and directors started copying Indian dramas. However, when our own original product, containing our values and culture, was presented, our dramas did not only become a big success in Pakistan but received a huge appreciation in the global market and introduced Pakistan and its artists on the international level. Good example are dramas like humsafar, zindagi gulzar hai, etc. Why can’t we apply the same maturity towards our film industry and bring the original script and our own tradition. Why can’t we be more smart and try to attract the majority of audiences by making sensible movies with strong scripts and a message. We have a lot of talent in our country and all its possible when we try to think out of the box. Our film industry should try to create its own individual style not become a replica of Bollywood because in this day and age, audiences are smart enough to choose the original version not some second-rate carbon copy.

An Open Letter To Mr. Sahir Loathe-ee

Dear Imposter with an inflated ego,

We were kind enough to ignore your outlandish behavior when your film completely flopped at the box office only because we thought that this would be the last time that you will use the common man and patriotism to make your point. In fact we didn’t feel it was important to give you any attention that you were stirring the pot for, however this time around you have gone too far and you deserve to be shown the right place for what you have done. You termed people who criticized you, as demi-gods but the fact is that you are the one who thinks has the right to insult people without even thinking how your uncouth behavior might affect these people who you pass judgments on like you are perfect! Are you really so naive that you have no idea just how ill mannered and bossy you are or do you have sick justifications in your head for your obnoxious behavior?

You might think that people have forgotten all the atrocities that you have committed over the years in the name of entertainment on your different shows be it your Orange Patiala Shalwar paired with Pink Kurti or your unsightly dances on Bolly tunes on Eid shows, but let us burst the bubble, we haven’t. We still remember how you would call regular people (those regular people who you termed as your fans when trying to sell your movie) to your shows and insult them because you thought you were better off than them and also because it made you feel a tad bit better about your sorry existence? This is exactly why the card that you tried to sell using ‘common man’ didn’t really strike the chord as you yourself are guilty of ‘disrespecting’ the common man time and again. This has become a national debate as to why people love to hate Sahir Loathe-ee, some might have solid reasons and some don’t and every time we think you are just a nobody, doing your job so you should be left alone, you push all the wrong buttons and show your reality to the world, justifying exactly why people should ‘Loathe’ you even more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4zaG5i080g

The female student that you invited on your Ramadan show to participate in a debate had a valid point and she was clearly not saying anything against Quaid-e-Azam but you couldn’t stand the fact that the audience there appreciated her without you ordering them to applaud for her. Thank you for defying the essence of Ramadan which teaches people patience, forgiveness and the art of letting go. Thank you for proving that for you ratings stand above the lessons that Ramadan brings with it. There is a limit to showing off one’s narcissist personality traits in public and to thinking that you actually have the right to treat people like this. You are a clear example of a loser who has been trying to make a place for himself in the entertainment industry for such a long time yet he still has to resort to shortcuts like these to get ratings and attention from people in order to get your presence acknowledged.

Also, correct us if we’re wrong, but didn’t you bring your mother, a woman, into a limelight to seek sympathy from people when your movie got bad reviews? Didn’t you drag your mother’s name to show what a cry-baby you are? So, what does this tell us? In the hour of need you would use a woman as a shield and in the hour of rating, you would use another woman again but for all the wrong reasons? Why so rating-hungry Mr. Loathe-ee? Why so hungry? I wish some ‘woman’ in your ‘family’ had taught you how to respect women and how to put forth your opinion in a respectful manner especially when the one at the receiving end of your scripted, calculated and unnecessary fury is a woman.

You know what, it isn’t just your fault that you are such a twisted character, those people who sat there and watched you insult that strong and intelligent woman are equally responsible for creating a monster like you. Also, those channels and producers who think you are worthy to host such a show should be penalized for putting a sorry excuse for a human being like yourself in charge of Ramadan transmission. Also, let us resort to your tone and now ask you, ‘who gave you the right to come on TV?’, ‘who gave you the right to think you are capable enough to host shows?’, ‘who gave you the right to think you are intellectual enough to be insulting people left, right and center’ and in the end ‘who gave you the right to come on TV to spread T.B’?

From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely advise you to see a psychiatrist ASAP and get a proper diagnosis for your condition. Also, while you’re at it, please hire someone to deflate that balloon of an ego which keeps on expanding inside your tiny body. Just in case you want to use our names in your next Live Facebook Rant, then there you go:

An Old Clip Of Meera From Salam Zindagi Is Going Viral!

Meera Jee always finds way to be in news, whether its intentionally or unintentionally she always manages to get the audiences attention. A few days back, she made some nasty comments for Mahira Khan, as she managed to be in the news for a while nevertheless how embarrassing her comments were. Meera’s English is something which is always degraded by the audiences and the reason itself is her poor fluency. In early 2016, she was seen at the morning show ‘Salam Zindagi’, and was asked to spell ‘Australia’. The clip from the morning show is going viral.
