5 Reasons Why Mann Mayal Is A Huge Disappointment

Mann Mayal is considered one of the most watched dramas of the current season yet there are so many glaring flaws in this drama which also make it the biggest disappointment of this season. Here are the top 5 reasons why Mann Mayal is an epic fail!

Best love story of the season or the worst sob story of the year?

This drama was promoted as not only the best love story of this season but the kind of love story which will make people forget all others. The love story ended in less than 6 weeks and after that viewers had to sit through one episode after another of watching the heroine sob and suffer. The hero also struggled until he got rich and then he sobbed and suffered for different reasons! Everyone in this drama is sad whether it is Mikael, Mannu or Salahuddin which is why it is the worst sob story of the season!

The promos which were shown to promote Mann Mayal showed a very happy bubbly side of Mannu maybe because the producers knew that this side would attract the viewers more than the struggling times which Mannu faced after she got married but most of the drama revolves around Mannu’s marital problems.

5 Reasons Why Jo Bichar Gaye Is a Masterpiece

Pakistani drama industry has two basic sides to it, on the one side there are those dramas that are meant for commercial purposes and on the other side, there are those dramas that offer meaningful entertainment. Most of the people who are active on social media and are vocal about their opinions regarding Pakistani dramas appreciate dramas that offer meaningful entertainment. Pakistani producers and writers have experimented a lot in the past few years. Since 2021 in particular, our writers and producers have not been afraid of experimenting with different genres. However, if we take a look at all the dramas that have aired in the past few years, there isn’t a single historic drama that held the viewers’ interest. Hum TV’s Aangan was promoted as a period drama but it turned out to be a major disappointment. In fact, it made all the intelligent viewers question whether Pakistani writers should actually take up such topics or not.

This year, Jo Bichar Gaye took the viewers completely by surprise not only because of its content but also because of its powerful execution. This drama dares to show in detail the incidents that led to the East Pakistan tragedy. This drama has so much going for it yet it has somehow not been promoted as aggressively as some of the other commercial projects that air on Geo. The drama is based on a book written by Col. Z. I. Farrukh who also happens to be one of the main protagonists in the story. He was one of the army men taken in as prisoners of war when Dhaka fell. Haissam Hussain and Mehreen Alam are in charge of the screenplay and the script has been written by Ali Moeen. This drama also marks the comeback of the iconic director Haissam Hussain’s to television and Nadia Jamil also made her acting comeback with Jo Bichar Gaye. The production house H2 Films definitely deserves credit for taking this initiative and putting together this masterpiece.

5 Reasons Why Jo Bichar Gaye Is a Masterpiece

Here are 5 reasons why Jo Bichar Gaye is a masterpiece that is a must-watch:

Unique and Well-Written Script

We sincerely believe that content is the king especially when a writer takes up the task of writing on a topic that is novel, sensitive, and also controversial. Jo Bichar Gaye’s writer has intelligently and neutrally managed to shed light on all those factors which led to the fall of Dhaka. The fact that the novel this drama is based on has been written by someone with vast military experience who was stationed in Dhaka and was in the middle of the conflict reflects in the details which have been the focus of attention right from the beginning. Fall of Dhaka is one of those tragedies which aren’t talked about often in media, especially those aspects where the establishment disappointed its own people. The shortcomings of the politicians and the failure of the establishment to take concrete steps on time are some of the aspects of this era that are not discussed openly. The script of the drama with the utmost clarity shows all the different dimensions of the issue in the fairest manner. It focuses on the lack of foresight, conspiracies, and also the way young people such as Rumi were misled and used for ulterior motives.

The “Human” Element

Even though Jo Bichar Gaye stands out from other such dramas because of the way it presents facts and figures, it does not compromise on the human element which is the essence of any on-screen presentation, at all! In fact, it is impressive how the writer has managed to give easy access to the viewers to the psychological depths of the characters. Most of the time when novels are adapted on television, this depth is lost but Jo Bichar Gaye has highlighted the personal struggles of these characters and their relationship with their ‘cause’ with the utmost precision. This automatically leads to the viewers’ feelings everything the characters are going through and connecting to them makes the experience wholesome. The writers and the director have done exceptionally well while striking a balance between what is going on on the political and military front and everything happening in the personal lives of these characters. You find yourself just as invested in their personal relationships as you are in the events on the political front.

5 Reasons Why Jo Bichar Gaye Is a Masterpiece

Light-Hearted Moments

Who could have thought that these talented writers would be able to fit in the most poignant light-hearted moments in an otherwise bleak story? Well, the makers of Jo Bichar Gaye managed to do just that in the most brilliant way possible. While on the one hand you are completely shaken by the conspiracies, on the other hand, Sonia and Captain Farrukh’s track provides much-needed comic relief. Sonia’s mother definitely takes the lead there with her desperate attempts to find the right suitor for her daughter and her disappointment with finding out that her daughter chose someone like Captain Farrukh. Her character is a breath of fresh air and adds the kind of human element which is usually not a part of such stories. This entire track has a very classy yet comic feel to it.

Perfect and Refreshing Casting

Anyone who has watched Haissam Hussain’s projects will agree that no one can beat him when it comes to choosing the right actors for the roles. He is also one of those few Pakistani directors who have introduced many new faces to the industry. He is also one of those talented individuals in the industry who think outside the box and cast certain seasoned actors in roles they have never been seen in before. Starting from the leading cast such as Wahaj Ali as Rumi, Maya Ali as Sonia, or Taha Chahour as Captain Farrukh to the supporting actors such Nadia Jamil in a candid and interesting role and all those new faces in the most powerful roles, everyone literally manages to transport you to another world. You forget that you had recently seen Wahaj in an entirely different role in Dil Na Umeed Tu Nahin and Maya Ali has recently tested our patience as Rakhshi!

All these actors have not just nailed their roles but they have proved that they were meant to perform such roles. The credit for that goes to the director as well because some of these actors are either new to television or have given average performances in the recent past. It basically goes to show that when actors are chosen to play meaningful characters, they showcase their best abilities. Each actor manages to leave a lasting impression with the leading cast taking the lead, in the true sense of the word!

Locations and Cinematography

While shooting any drama locations play a pivotal role. These locations are of even more significance when a period drama is being shot. The directors and the producers chose locations that breathe life into that era and make you forget that you are watching a drama that was recorded in the present era. Much of the drama has been shot in GC University, Lahore, which is visually stunning and its architecture is nothing short of a masterpiece. The other locations from Lahore which have been used as the army headquarters are just as well-suited for the era that is being shown. The camerawork and the cinematography add to the visual appeal even when the message being conveyed through these visuals isn’t always pleasant. The kind of hard work which the team put into making the visuals as realistic as possible shows in every single scene. They did not rely on make-shift sets but chose locations that have brought that era to life.

Other than this, the overall looks of all the actors involved are completely in line with the era and the roles they are playing. Most importantly the actors are seen carrying these looks with the utmost ease. This adds to the effortless portrayal and gives the realistic feel needed to make their stories more relatable.

All those viewers who have tuned into Jo Bichar Gaye have been blown away by it, which basically goes to show that the Pakistani viewers want to watch dramas that are not run-of-the-mill. Jo Bichar Gaye is definitely setting the bar higher than ever. Are you watching the drama? Share your thoughts about it.

5 Reasons Why Hum Tum Is a Must-Watch

The latest trend of showing Ramazan special dramas has become a massive hit with the viewers. It can be safely stated that over the years, the writers and the directors have learned to give these dramas the right treatment. This trend started in the early 2000s but it did not pick up until now. Suno Chanda definitely deserves credit for appealing to the masses and giving the viewers some unforgettable characters and performances. This year as well Hum has taken the lead by airing not just one but two Ramazan special dramas with a star cast. Hum Tum is turning out to be yet another feather in Hum’s cap for many reasons. It has a great deal going for it and for that reason, it is a must-watch.

The script of the drama has been written by the Suno Chanda fame writer Saima Akram Chaudhry, it has been directed by the ace director Danish Nawaz and it is a Momina Duraid Production. Writing comedy and executing a comic script on-screen is no easy feat. Hum Tum delivers in so many ways that once you tune into the show, you are instantly hooked to it. Even though most Ramazan special dramas follow similar themes, the writer proves that she knows how to incorporate progressive ideas while staying within the basic framework of such shows.

Here are 5 reasons why Hum Tum is a must-watch:

Thoroughly Entertaining

When it comes to Ramazan dramas, in particular, the entertainment value outweighs every other factor. Since Hum Tum is a comedy serial just like all the other Ramazan specials, therefore the main reason most people would tune into this show is to get entertained. Comedy is perhaps the most difficult genre since it can be a hit or a miss. Hum Tum keeps you engaged and entertained. It gives you a lot to laugh about with its quality content. The overall feel and the content of the show are on point. The casting is picture-perfect which adds to the entertainment value. Most importantly it has enough substance to offer something new in every single episode without compromising on quality. Saima Akram Chaudhry definitely outdid herself this time around and Danish Nawaz has given this drama the right treatment. In the beginning, it feels as if some of the characters or scenarios are over the top but as the story progresses, the treatment given to the play grows on you. If you have not started watching this drama yet, tune in now and we guarantee you will be immediately hooked on it!

5 Reasons Why Hum Tum Is a Must-Watch

Progressive Female Characters

The reason why Hum Tum is hands down the best Ramazan drama we have watched so far are the progressive female characters. Even though there is an underlying theme that highlights how some parents value sons more than daughters, the female characters are strong and independent. The drama breaks stereotypes like no other. It has intelligent and independent females who cannot do housework and do not feel the need to do so! On the other hand, the men are more independent in this department. Along with the progressive main female leads, young and old, the main male characters Adam and Sarmad have great respect for all these women. Even though Adam and Neha are constantly fighting, Adam does accept the fact that Neha is an intelligent young lady. Also, he is against the idea that having a son is a must or that girls cannot do things that men can. Even Tammana Nani believes in financial independence.

Brilliant Characterizations

Characterizations play a major role in making or breaking a script. Hum Tum has a variety of characters and there is something new and likable about all of them. Whether they are the independent females such as Maha, Neha, Milli, or Sasha or the male leads, all these characters bring something new to the table. The most important element of this play which stands out are the older characters such as Daddu and Tamana Nani. They are not just the older parents in the story but they are also characters with a life and objective of their own. Both of them have their own careers and aspirations in life. They are full of life and question the idea that a person should stop living their lives to the fullest at a certain age. These characters are just as strong as most of the leading characters. Even though the writer has successfully broken so many stereotypes, she has done so while keeping things as realistic as possible. There are obviously comic situations that are over the top but characterizations are on point, throughout.

5 Reasons Why Hum Tum Is a Must-Watch

Refreshing on-screen Couples

The refreshing casting in general and the on-screen couples, in particular, make Hum Tum a drama that should not be missed. Apart from the casting, the dynamics of at least one of these couples, Neha and Sarmad, are such that you find yourself thoroughly enjoying their scenes. Sarah Khan and Junaid Khan make a great on-screen couple. They have also played their respective characters brilliantly. Adam and Neha are a lot like many other on-screen couples we have seen in previous Ramazan specials but the casting is definitely on point. There are times when Adam in particular takes it too far but the fact that he has an underlying respect for Neha because of her intelligence makes him a likable character. Also, the fact that both of them have fathers who never valued them, makes their dynamics more interesting and wholesome. Both these tracks have been written down so well. I am sure many viewers out there must be rooting for nani and Daddu too but so far there is nothing of that sort between them.

5 Reasons Why Hum Tum Is a Must-Watch

A Complete Package

Hum Tum is one of those few comedy dramas this year which offers a complete package. It is not mindless entertainment since the writer has made a conscious effort to add meaning to the script. The cast couldn’t have been more perfect; all the actors are clearly enjoying playing their respective roles and therefore entertain every time. There are times when Ahad’s Urdu pronunciation is not ideal but other than that he has given a solid performance. The direction of the drama goes well with the content. Most importantly, Hum Tum keeps you glued and looking forward to more. The only issue is that even though it’s a Ramazan special, the theme is not based on Ramazan like it was in Suno Chanda but other than that, the writer has nailed every single aspect of the story.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

Ertugrul Ghazi (Dirilis Ertugrul) is a Turkish series that recently aired in Pakistan. The series has been dubbed in Urdu for the Pakistani viewers. So far only season 1 of the series has been dubbed in Urdu but the series is already being watched in Pakistan by many with the help of English subtitles. This is one of those rare dramas which has been recommended by the Prime Minister itself and which gave PTV home thousands of new subscribers online. The popularity of this series has definitely surpassed any other. The series shows the life and times of heroes who laid the foundations of the Ottoman Empire. It isn’t only immensely popular in Pakistan but in many other countries of South Asia and the Middle East as well.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

This is also not the first time that a Turkish drama received such appreciation and viewership in Pakistan. In the past, too Turkish dramas dubbed in Urdu had a massive viewership. Some of the local producers and actors do not like the fact that Turkish dramas are being given air time on Pakistani channels. When Turkish dramas started airing in the beginning, there was a lot of opposition against them within the showbiz fraternity. People however like the variety which is being offered to them. Now that most of the Pakistanis are confined to their houses, they have more time than ever to watch different series. This is another reason why people are watching Ertugrul Ghazi not just on the television but also on YouTube.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

It won’t be wrong to say that right now, Ertugrul Ghazi has turned into a phenomenon. This is the most-watched and talked-about drama right now. People are completely hooked to this show and here are 5 reasons why Ertugrul Ghazi has been such a massive success.

A Different Genre

When compared to our local dramas Ertugrul Ghazi is a different genre altogether. Pakistani viewers do not get to watch stories based on the life and times of heroes from the past. Ertugrul Ghazi isn’t just a historic drama but it also delves deep into human psychology and emotions. It is also not an easy feat to pen down such a story that covers so many years and so many different incidents. The fact that the writer has done complete justice to every single aspect of this genre definitely adds to its popularity. Since Ertugrul Ghazi is just the story of the protagonist but it is the story of every single influential person of that time, the drama encapsulates that time and era with utmost perfection.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

Visually Stunning

Ertugrul Ghazi’s visuals are beyond impressive. The story is set in so many different places, outdoor and indoor locations have been used throughout. The people in charge have made sure that they captured the beauty or even darkness of every place which is being covered flawlessly. The viewers are constantly being taken from one location to the other. The camerawork throughout is amazing. It is due to these stunning visuals that the viewers are actually transported to another world and it is difficult to release oneself from the magic of Ertugrul Ghazi.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

Well-Choreographed Action

There are many action scenes in Ertugrul Ghazi therefore it can safely be said that it is a complete action thriller. The action scenes at times can be gory as well. The action scenes have been so well-choreographed that you feel every sword that is being swung. The fact that Ertugrul Ghazi is a big-budgeted project reflects from the kind of attention which has been paid to these action scenes. This element of the series makes it a favorite among the male viewers too.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

Inspiring Characters

Without the inspiring characters which have been fleshed out so wonderfully, Ertugrul Ghazi wouldn’t have been the success it is. All the characters go through different phases, they keep you guessing and there are some like some of the leading characters which are truly inspiring. Ertugrul’s bromance and comradeship with his alps and his relationship with his parents are touching. Strong supporting characters such as Ibn Arabi and Demir keep you looking forward to more.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

Ertugrul Ghazi also has some of the strongest and inspiring female characters. There are so many female characters in the play who are shown playing an active role in the social set up. The women can fight and stand by their men like a rock. The journeys of all the characters have so many ups and downs that you can’t help but tune in to a new episode every single day.

5 Reasons Why Ertugrul Ghazi Is So Popular

Powerful Messages

Ertugrul Ghazi overall has a powerful message throughout. The whole series is based on the fight of good vs evil. Throughout the series, there are so many references to the Quran and Islamic teachings. This drama has an educational value and it opens up your minds. You learn as you go and that too while getting entertained by the story. The main message of this series is that it is really important to hold on to your faith and eventually good triumphs over evil. It also has the message that one must hold on to their good values even when faced with the most adverse circumstances.

5 Reasons Why Dunk Has Been a Major Disappointment

Dunk was one of those dramas most people were looking forward to watching because of its fresh pairing more than anything else. Bilal Abbas Khan and Sana Javed have both impressed the viewers in their recent dramas therefore the viewers had a reason to see them together on screen. Also, Dunk went on air a few weeks after it was announced therefore the excitement was still intact when it was aired. However, Dunk’s journey overall right from the time it was promoted has not been up to the mark. Even though it is one of those dramas which are getting the ratings, it has disappointed in many ways. While the producers manage to tick all the boxes which ensure viewership, they compromised on quality and authenticity. There is no denying the fact that all the actors have given their best but there is so much more that is just not right with the drama.

Here are the 5 reasons why Dunk has been a major disappointment.

The Producer’s Approach

The approach of the producers became quite apparent when few days before it aired, Dunk was promoted as a drama that was going to be really controversial. Fahad Mustafa made sure everyone knew what the basic premise of the drama was, which was in fact controversial. He went as far as saying that Dunk was a tribute to victims of false allegations of sexual harassment. Bilal Abbas Khan followed his lead and warned the viewers that Dunk was based on a ‘controversial topic. Well, the producers got the attention they were looking for since we all know that controversy sells! At a time when the #metoo movement was at its peak and there were so many people trying really hard to educate others regarding victim-blaming, in particular, Fahad Mustafa’s production house came up with a drama that seemed to be pleading the case of the group which indeed exists but is definitely in minority! Like Fahad Mustafa himself said that they were speaking for the 5 percent of the people involved in such cases! Even before the drama started the approach of the producers was quite apparent.

5 Reasons Why Dunk Has Been a Major Disappointment

Fahad Mustafa gave another interview before Dunk aired and he made it clear that he was in the business of making dramas to earn money therefore that was his top priority. That was another unfortunate statement from someone who has in the past and even now made dramas on sensitive issues. He made his intent more clear than ever and this was a major put-off for many. Fahad Mustafa proved to be an irresponsible individual who couldn’t care less about the effect his dramas may have. This was definitely not the best start but we are pretty sure Fahad Mustafa did not mind the negative publicity he got since as a result of this many of the viewers tuned into the show out of curiosity. Big Bang Entertainment’s approach has always been ‘commercial’ right from their first drama Dusri Biwi but this time around they were not just commercial but also careless in their approach.

The Forced Element of Mystery

After Cheekh our drama makers, in general, have been fixated with adding an element of mystery to every single instance of harassment, rape, or murder! Since Big Bang Entertainment was the first production house that started the ‘trend’ it does not come as a surprise that they decided to carry on with it. While people love mystery, the mystery element in Dunk is forced since the producer himself revealed the main secret before the drama went on air. Why the viewers should even be wondering who is right and who is wrong when it has been spelled out for them already?! It was the most ridiculous idea to share the main premise of the story when half of the script rested on the mystery element! Most of the viewers tuned into the drama knowing that it was based on false allegations yet Amal’s character was meant to ‘dodge’ the viewers into thinking that she in fact was innocent. The major reason why the first half of the drama completely disappointed was that the treatment given to these episodes made no sense since the producer had already shared the main crux of the story.

5 Reasons Why Dunk Has Been a Major Disappointment

The Treatment

Since the intention of the producers was to sensationalize a serious issue, they must have asked the director to have an approach that was in line with their thinking. That is the reason why the director has given such a treatment to the drama that every single aspect of the story has been sensationalized to the maximum. The excessive and dramatic background music even when it is no needed is a lame attempt to keep the viewers ‘excited’ even when there is no reason! Apart from this, the rona dhona by the professor’s wife has been excessively exaggerated more than once. Although Yasra Rizvi is a brilliant actress otherwise she has gone overboard more than once while enacting the anger and frustrations of her character. The director’s main objective was to overdramatize the situations and his intention was never to tell the story! The script wouldn’t have come across as non-serious if the director had not tried so desperately to add the overdramatic element to the drama.

The ‘Balaa’ Formula

Drama serial Balaa was also produced by Big Bang Entertainment and it was a commercial hit by all means. The drama rested primarily on a negative female character who fooled everyone left right and center. Since this ‘formula’ worked and the public was hooked to Nigar’s negativity and even more so eager to find out how she would get punished in the end, the production house decided to follow the same formula here as well. Dunk rests heavily and to a nonsensical extent on Amal’s negativity which can easily be termed as psychopathic behavior. While Nigar’s negativity had a certain background, Amal’s behavior has been left unexplained. The only explanation given by the writer was that she wanted some excitement and she did everything to save Haider! Even after all these weeks, Amal’s actions have no concrete justification or reasoning other than the fact that she is pure evil! It is really convenient for the writers to rest their entire story on such unexplained negativity of female characters. Everyone else around Amal believes her with their eyes closed and no one suspects her for a second even! Just like it was shown in Balaa, Nigar literally got away with murder right till the end, Dunk will continue following the same route and the viewers will not get to see the kind of punishment they are waiting to watch Amal go through. Even the posters of the dramas are more or less the same!

5 Reasons Why Dunk Has Been a Major Disappointment

It is unfortunate that the public in general watches dramas centered around such characters which is why the writers create such balaas for dramas. Had the writer added certain nuances to Amal’s character or given someone else around her enough sense to question her actions and look at situations objectively, the entire storyline would have been more logical. Like is the case with any other such drama, one person is the victim (to an extreme extent) and the perpetrator gets away with everything right till the end.

Glorifying Toxicity

It would be safe to say that Amal is the only central character in Dunk who has been leading for the past few episodes. Ever since Amal’s negative and toxic side has been revealed she is the star of the show, quite literally. The writer has penned down the story in such a way that Amal’s toxic personality and her evil designs are central to the story and everything else simply takes a backseat. This could easily have been Haider’s story as well if he was given more strength and wasn’t turned into a victim wholly. Like many other such dramas, the writer has glorified a negative character by making her get away with everything. The producer Fahad Mustafa said that people will ‘enjoy’ watching Dunk which means that he is pretty sure that the Pakistani viewers like watching such negative female characters. We really need to make more drama where the more nuanced characters take the lead and our heroines and heroes are not psychopathic individuals whose life revolves around making other people’s lives hell.

5 Reasons Why Dunk Has Been a Major Disappointment

Also, the fact is that more women, in reality, are afraid of coming forward in cases of harassment and rape. Content such as Dunk will definitely not help anyone where a woman is being shown in such a light. Surely, there are negative and evil women but there are many more who in fact are victims, and showing such dramas can seriously impact their journeys. The fact is that Amal’s character and actions are being glorified because even after all these weeks, there isn’t a single person who even remotely doubts her. The storyline is definitely focused in a certain direction which is neither enjoyable nor educational!

Final Thoughts

While there are dramas such as Dil Umeed Tu Nahin and even Aulaad (from the same production house as Dunk) which have a definite purpose in mind, there are others such as Dunk which have the sole purpose of acquiring ratings and they can go to any length in order to achieve that end. The producers are more than welcome to make commercial dramas in order to gain more profit but they really should think twice before making dramas on such sensitive issues. Big Bang Entertainment in particular needs to stop cashing in on negativity by showing women as toxic individuals who exploit ‘poor’ men!

5 Reasons Why Dunk Has Been a Major Disappointment

If they really want to support a cause then their approach needs to be more responsible and less commercial! Dunk producers don’t want to tell a story, they merely want to cash in on the project. Had it not been for the phenomenal acting of some of the leading actors, Dunk would not even be getting the views that it is getting owing to its problematic content and approach. After the success of Nand and Jalan, the negative woman running the show seems to be a favorite scenario with the Big Bang Entertainment.

5 Reasons Why Bushra Ansari Should Quit Hosting!

0

Like every other person who thinks that our talented Bushra Ansari can do it all I also thought that she will nail hosting her own Morning Show too. I was also very happy to see stars from the past being invited in her shows because all the other Morning Show hosts focus more on young actors and actresses. While attempting to watch a few episodes of her Morning Show I have come to the conclusion that Bushra Ansari should not host any shows at all. Rest of the Morning Show hosts are typical and they also show the same old things but there are some things about Bushra Ansari that are especially irritating and more importantly it looks like she might be setting a few very bad precedents which other hosts might be tempted to follow.

I think that when someone is hosting a show they should be decent and they should encourage the guest to talk about themselves but Bushra Ansari overacts and does some things which are not very decent.

Talking More About Her Own Experiences Than Letting The Guests Talk!

Bushra Ansari always brings her own experiences related to work and family both in all her shows. There is nothing wrong with that as long the guests get to share their thoughts with equal freedom too. She asks a question but does not wait for an answer from the guest and starts saying things on the topic herself! We understand that Bushra Ansari is very experienced but she should understand that this show is not about advertising her own self but about getting to know more about her guests. Whenever I watched her show at the end of the show I realized that I found out very little about the guest and a lot about what Bushra Ansari did in her life!

The “Evil” Laughter!

Bushra Ansari’s laughter would fit perfectly in any animation where there is a wicked witch who has succeeded in accomplishing her evil plans but it is not fit for anything else. Her laughter is strange and evil, she really should work on it! It suited Shazia Chaudhry’s character but it does not suit Bushra Ansari the hostess!

bushra1

Flirting With Her Guests

Nida Yasir, Shaista Wahidi and Sanam Jung are not perfect hosts too but at least they have enough integrity to not flirt with their guests. Sometimes it looks like Bushra Ansari takes undue advantage of her age and thinks people will excuse her for flirting with actors who are young enough to be her sons because she is old enough to be their mother! The flirting is uncalled for and it doesn’t fit in at all.

Greeting The Guests With Hugs And Kisses

Whether it is one of the old actors or the young ones Bushra Ansari’s way of greeting them is highly unpleasant. Their personal ties aside, Bushra Ansari should keep things decent on television. I hope that other hosts won’t be following her footsteps.

Dressing Up Like A Teenager

Bushra Ansari carries herself and dresses up like she is a teenager. I would say that younger hosts of different Morning Shows do not look so inappropriate when they wear fashionable clothes or do not wear a duppata but such clothes and the absence of duppata does not suit someone who people want to respect because of her experience and age.

Bushra Ansari does not make her guests play silly games on her shows but she has not been able to host the show with the grace with which the viewers wanted her to host it. Bushra Ansari is very good at doing comedy but this comedy is somewhat inappropriate for a Morning Show. I wish that Bushra Ansari showcased her intelligence more than her comic skills in her show. Bushra Ansari concluded her last Morning Show this week and with this show it would be really good if she concludes her hosting career altogether.

What do you think? Do you like Bushra Ansari’s hosting skills?

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Noor Jahan is a drama that is winning hearts on ARY Digital. The drama is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Musaddiq Malik. Noor Jahan has a huge cast including Saba Hameed, Kubra Khan, Ali Raza, Ali Rehman Khan, Zoya Nasir, Hajra Yamin, Alina Abbas Shah and Noor Hassan. The drama looked like any other saas bahu saga as soon as the teasers dropped and that is what it can technically be classified as but after over 20 episodes, Noor Jahan has proven to be so much more than just a typical saas-bahu story without anything to remember it by. It has managed to become one of the top shows of the season and several reasons have elevated it to such a status. Here are the 5 biggest reasons that make Noor Jahan much more than your everyday drama:

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Complex & Intriguing Characters

 

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

On the shallow surface Noor Jahan is the story of a toxic mother-in-law, three mama’s boys and four daughters-in-law. But that is not what Noor Jahan is. The drama is more like a political thriller or a game of chess with all the characters having special moves and limitations that keeps the game interesting. Noor Jahan is a toxic mother-in-law but she also represents a dictator who will impose his will on his people and will never take any democratic decisions. The daughters-in-law represent how populace from different economic strata are bound in such a system, with the rich having some liberty while the poor are fully bound. The sons represent the institutions and bureaucracy who will never speak against power and if somone does (like Murad), they will be put in their place. The drama is therefore connecting with Pakistanis on a deeper level as they are much familiar with such systems.

Psychological Thriller Vibes

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

The underlying tension in Noor Jahan is also something that sets it apart from a normal everyday saas bahu drama. The main character Noor Jahna is not a typical mother-in-law running plots against her family. She is more of a sociopath with plans that she executes to gain her objectives. She killed Mukhtar Shah and used her sons to achieve her desire. She wanted to take away all his property not because she needs the money but because she wants him to suffer even in his grave. The way she celebarted the miscarriage of her own granddaughter and justified her behaviour in front of her son by calling daughters an unnecessary burden shows how evil and manipulative she is. She is running the household not like an evil saas/ mother but more like a scientist with all her children and now grandchildren as lab rats.

Mind Blowing Performances

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Noor Jahan has some mind-blowing performances with Saba Hameed taking the lead in quite the literal sense. She has hit it out of the park and she has shown once again why she is one of the best artists in this country. Her makeup, her styling and her expressions are not of Saba Hameed but Noor Jahan. She has brought the character to life like no one else could have done. Saba Hameed is rocking as Noor Jahan and she should get all the nominations in the coming year as she is literally the best.

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Another stand out performance is Alina Abbas Shah who is playing Safina in the show. She is representing the majority women of Pakistan who are stuck in a situation that is causing them pain but they do not bow down and show their dissatisfaction in other ways. The way she has also represented a middle class daughter and mother-to-be to a daughter is hyper-realistic and mind-blowing. Alina is a great addition to the industry and she has surely gained a lot of new fans after playing Safina.

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Yousaf Basheer Qureshi is another actor who has gained massive love for playing Mukhtar Shah. Though he was there for just a few episodes but the impact he left is still being felt by the audience.

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Everyone else including Noor Hassan, Kubra Khan and Ali Rehman Khan are also doing justice to their characters.

Raising Awareness

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Noor Jahan is subtly raising awareness about some huge problems prevalent in our society. The toxic obsession of having sons is represented quite realistically by Noor Jahan. She is even happy when the girl child dies, something that many of us have seen in seemingly educated families around us. Noor Jahan brought Maha home representing how giving birth to a son washes away all your sins in this society. Noor Jahan is also showcasing how women from the middle class are stuck in relationships as they cannot go back to their parents’ house and they cannot support themselves. With Noor Bano, the writer and director have shown how financial independence makes a woman stronger in every facet of her life.

Gripping & Fast-Paced Story

5 Reasons Noor Jahan Is More Than Another Saas-Bahu Drama

Noor Jahan is brilliantly directed by Musaddiq Malik who was the name behind Habs before this. Zanjabeel also came with a brillant script after a string of disappointments. Noor Jahan is fast-paced and does not drag even for a bit. This has also hooked the audience. With two episodes coming every week, something new happens every time and all the characters are evolving with no unnecessary flashbacks. The writer has also made all the tracks interesting and none of the characters bore you. Noor Jahan keeps you hooked from start till the end which is making it a winner with the audience.

Musaddiq Malik’s Noor Jahan has proven itself to be more tan your typical saas-bahu saga and it is a lesson for all the other makers that you can experiment within the same genre too if you put in a bit of effort. Let’s see how Noor Jahan fares in the coming episodes but for now, it is a definite winner!

5 Questions We Want To Ask To The Makers of Drama SANAM!

Sanam is a show that till now couldn’t pick up the pace nor introduced anything interesting. It is getting boring to an extent that we are just completely loosing our interest. Not long but only a few episodes old drama has got the viewers mad. The previous episode had some good bits but seems like the upcoming episode is going to be same.

The OST of the show was so engaging that the audiences were eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds and not long ago we actually hoped that the story might get better but now the makers have crossed limits of insanity.

1) Our dear Harib fell in love for the third time. We know third time but why?Okay we understand first love was the old one but then falling in love with two girls in such a short span of time is just not working. He falls in love so frequently as if love is on sale and he doesn’t want to miss a single chance to grab it!So ek anar aur 100 bemar opss no Ek Anar aur teen beemar

ca3bc_osman-khalid-butt-2

2) Is khana so important?I mean i literally feel that to the makers it’s more important to focus on food than anything else. Whether it be the anda paratha or the ice cream it surely gets the full coverage. Please For heavens sake we aren’t craving for food nor anda paratha sounds appealing.

3) The most buzzing question,Why is this guy(Harib) so so bechara?This is the question i desperately want to ask to the writer of the drama that what made her think we are going to like seeing someone this bechara who would say nothing but just act so masoom and helpless as if we’re gonna come and help him LOL. Why don’t you stay quite than saying something that has no meaning,where do you actually stand or do you really even have a stand or not!

 

osman-cry

4) So surprise guys,we now have a new entry and that is Sara. A girl that just seems so unfit in this drama but the makers are trying hard to fix her in. I wonder why was she even needed. They already showed Aila evil and now even Sara is evil so according to the makers every girl Harib every loved was evil,funny isn’t it because seems like Harib was all blind while dating these innocent looking girls.And why does every girls world revolves around Harib?Whats so good about him,well alright we know he looks good but isn’t it quite weird watching every girls live revolving around a same person!

5) Alright so you decided to make the drama interesting with the few supporting roles which were literally created with no common sense. That old zamana relatives who wouldn’t let you live separately…isn’t that something we have been seen in dramas for years. Anything new to offer us?The answer certainly seems no and oh yes how can i forget the new little baby girl Fatima. What are the makers trying to implement by bringing her to the story,she got an extra ordinary coverage in the previous episodes.

5 PTV Classics Everyone Should Watch

0

No matter how corny it sounds, but our state channel Pakistan Television has an inevitable place in our drama history. Those were the days when only a two minute silent scene was enough to make an ordinary person a recognized star. Those were the times, when script was the primary importance and artists used to rehears at least ten times before facing the camera!

We all have grown up watching PTV, some of the plays were breathtakingly ah-mazing and some were just good time-fillers. But there is another category other than these two; the category of must-watch PTV classics, the plays that everyone should watch!

Khuda Ki Basti

 

Khuda-Ki-Basti

“Mother of All Serials” Khuda Ki Basti is Pakistan Televisions’ record breaking sensational novel-based play that actually was produced and broadcasted twice on TV, each time creating the same excitement among the masses! That was the time when a PTV play was a good enough reason for barren streets and pin drop silence on otherwise roaring roads. A true reminiscent of PTV’s glory that now deserves to be taught in our acting academies. 

The script of the play was written by Shaukat Siddiqui. It was a Sahira Kazmi direction, featuring some of the legends of Pakistani drama industry; Qazi Wajid, Zaheen Tahira, Mehmood Ali, Behroz Sabzwari, Munawar Sultana and others.

Aangan Terha

mm

Aangan Terha – a witty comedy with just the perfect tinge of satire is another play that you should totally watch, if haven’t already. The settings and plot of the play was amazingly simple featuring only three main characters, Mehboob Aalam, Jahan Aara Baigum and Akbar, played by Shakeel Ahmad, Bushra Ansari and Saleem Nasir respectively.

Originally the play was a satirical commentary on the sociopolitical upheavals of 80’s Pakistan, penned by none other than Anwar Maqsood. Each actor was a suitable fit in the character, giving their best but it was Bushra Ansari who actually nailed it. She was quite young to play the character of an aged nagging wife back then but till date it is one of her most flawlessly done projects.

Shehzori

Shehzori

“Mein Bohot Buri Aadmi Hun”  How many of you can still recall this sentence? It was the pillow talk of hilarious Neelofar Abbasi in Shehrozi, which undoubtedly is one of the best slapstick comedies PTV ever presented.

Haseena Moin’s debut serial Shehzori is a hilarious play that revolves around a tom boyish girl Tara (played by Neelofar Abbasi) who apparently is a kiddish girl who gets nothing right but eventually evolves as a strong woman with a firm standing point. The play belonged to the black and white PTV era and Neelofar and Shakeel is without any comparison the cutest on screen couple of that time.

Tanhaiyan

tanhaiyan

From the pen of Haseena Moin, the cult classic PTV play Tanhaiyan is the story of two sisters Zara and Sanya who dig deep into the philosophy and essence of living in an attempt to get their parent’s house back. The play was a hot favourite among the audience giving the ultimate fame and popularity to the entire cast that includes Shehnaz Sheikh, Marina Khan, Behroz Sabzwari, Qazi Wajid, Asif Raza Mir and others.

This is probably the only PTV classic that made it to its sequel. Approximately after 27 years, Marina Khan came up with a sequel of Tanhaniyan that was very much the culmination of the same story but of course with new twists. New faces included Syra Yousaf, Alishbah Yousaf, Shehroz Sabzwari and Shehertar Munawar Siddique.

Ankahi

ankahi2

Timmy, Jibran, Maamoo, Faraz and Sana – sounds a bit familiar maybe? We all have grown up watching this family and share a common love for them, don’t we? The outstanding duo of Haseena Moin and Shaoib Mansoor presented Ankahi, the unforgettable PTV play in early 80’s.

Ankahi was a mega-cast play starring Jamshed Ansari, Shehnaz Sheikh, Shakeel, Javed Sheikh, Salim Nasir, Behroz Sabzwari, Badar Khalil and others. Ankhai was the story of unexpressed emotions and unfulfilled desire, one of those plays that kept the audience giggling only to leave them with an ultimate deep sorrow. Ankahi has been telecasted quite a few times now and its DVDs are still selling like hot cakes, you definitely need to grab one if you already haven’t amused yourself by this play.

How many of these PTV classics have you watched already? Don’t forget to add your personal favourites in the list by commenting!

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

0

Mere Pass Tum Ho is going to end soon. 18 episodes of Mere Pass Tum Ho have already gone on air. This drama has a total of 22 episodes. That means that in the next 4 episodes, we will see the climax and eventually the ending of Mere Pass Tum Ho. Like every other drama written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, this drama too has come to a point where there can be so many different endings to it. After episode 18 of Mere Pass Tum Ho aired, most viewers are unsure about how they want the drama to end. Up until episode 18 everyone was sure that they wanted to see Mehwish suffer. Now that Mehwish has no place to go and she is helpless, most viewers feel differently. The credit for this goes to Ayeza Khan, the writer and the director. They make the viewers feel whichever way they want to. When they want to make the viewers angry at Mehwish, that is exactly the response they get. In the previous episode, Mere Pass Tum Ho makers obviously wanted people to feel for Mehwish and that is what has happened. There have been so many different twists and turns in Mere Pass Tum Ho that it is a little difficult to predict how this drama will end. It doesn’t hurt to discuss the possible endings of the drama so we will do just that!

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

Here are 5 possible ways, Mere Pass Tum Ho can end.

Danish Forgiving Mehwish

After the previous episode it seems highly likely that Danish will forgive Mehwish. Until episode 17, it didn’t seem possible that Mehwish would actually feel remorseful but now it is clear that her character may take that turn. Up until now in Mere Pass Tum Ho, Mehwish has hardly ever been ‘sorry’ for anything at all. Danish still loves Mehwish, there is no denying that. Her phone call and apology might break the emotional barrier in the next two episodes. Since Danish divorced Mehwish therefore in order to get married to her again, she will need to enter into nikkah with another man. Will Salman be the one who will ‘help’ them meet that end? This is the only way to a happy ending which many people now want to see but no one wants to see this halala in a drama. It would however be new watching a man forgive a woman for infidelity for a change. Will the audience accept that?

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

Danish and Hania Getting Married

The promos of the upcoming episode showed that Danish might be considering getting married to Hania. Although, Danish has shown no such interest in Hania but Hania likes Danish. Hania’s sister in the previous episode also said that she needed to do whatever it took to save Danish. In that case Mehwish will be left alone. Rumi has always liked Miss Hania and wanted her as a permanent member of the family. Could this be the happy ending for Danish?

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

Danish and Maham Joining Hands

Since the past few episodes have focused solely on showing just how rich Danish has become. These episodes have also showed a different side of Danish. He is after all very business minded. Is it possible that Danish and Maham will eventually join hands and he will become the co-director of Shehwar Enterprise? Could it be that the drama will end with Danish being a business tycoon while Mehwish is left with nothing but regrets? That won’t make Danish happy too but then Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has often said that he does not believe in happy endings.

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

Mehwish Killing Shehwar

The cast interviews indicate that there is going to be a murder in Mere Pass Tum Ho. Will Mehwish end up killing Shehwar? We have seen two of the leading characters in Khalil-ur-Rehman’s plays killing people they love and themselves by taking poison. Will Mehwish get so angry that she will end up killing Shehwar in a similar way and she herself will end up in jail. This will be a dark ending but the best way to get Mehwish and Shehwar out of the way so that Danish and Hania can be together. Such an ending will also be the punishment which many viewers think both these characters deserve for betraying their spouses. Ayeza Khan also said that this drama had a lesson. If there is a lesson then it is highly impossible that Mehwish will in any way will have a happy ending.

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

Mehwish Ending Up In a Mental Asylum

Mehwish will feel guilty very soon. Soon enough she will realize just how wrong she was. She will also realize that she lost a man who loved her a lot. Will she go completely crazy and end up in a mental asylum? If this happens then the ending will be similar to drama serial Titli in which the heroine who left her husband for another man loses her senses in the end. There are still a lot of people who want to see Mehwish suffer. Such an ending will be satisfying for all such viewers who think Mehwish does not deserve forgiveness.

5 Possible Endings of Mere Pass Tum Ho

How do you want to see Mere Pass Tum Ho ending? Do you think that Mehwish deserves to be happy in the end? Will Danish and Hania be together in the end? Is Maham’s role over or has it just started? Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar said in an interview that while writing the ending of this drama, his hands were trembling and he was crying. No matter how this drama ends, it is sure to be an ending the viewers will remember forever.

5 Popular Actresses Who Are Very Choosy

0

Our drama industry is full of young and talented actresses but there are some who are more well loved than others because of their acting and charm. While there are some leading actresses like Saba Qamar, Maya Ali, Sanam Saeed and many others who work in dramas very often, there are some who we love to see in our dramas but for some reason they are very choosy about the projects they venture into. It is highly unlikely that these actresses do not get offers for dramas. I am very sure that producers have tons of projects to offer them but it looks like because of some reason they choose not to work in too many dramas. After reading and watching several interviews of these actresses I have come to the conclusion that they are not seen in dramas often because they are busy with other things which they find more appealing. Many of these actresses are not just actresses but they also hosts shows, are models, some are involved in charity work and others like theatre more than television. In a way this is good because it makes the viewers wait for their dramas and mostly they are seen in quality dramas but it also makes their fans wish they get to see them at least in a drama or two every year.

Sanam Baloch

Sanam Baloch is another actresses who brought some amazing characters to life on screen. She made Bano from Dastaan unforgettable, gave a flawless performance in drama serial Doraha and Daam       and she played young Shahwar’s character to perfection in drama serial Durr-e-Shahwar. Unfortunately the viewers do not get to enjoy Sanam’s brilliant performances in dramas because she hasn’t appeared on screen after drama serial Kankar in 2013.

In one of her interviews Sanam Baloch said that she can do only one thing at a time. She said that when she was hosting shows she thought that she couldn’t venture into acting but when she started working in dramas hosting was relegated to the background because acting itself is a very demanding profession. Right now she is busy in hosting her Morning Show therefore she is focusing on that because she tends to get completely lost in whichever venture she takes on. Sanam Baloch said, “I find hosting less challenging and more fun because you don’t have to act while hosting, you can be your own self.”

Although we don’t know anything about Sanam’s future plans regarding her drama career but we know that some day she would like to play the character of a blind girl if the opportunity presents itself.

sanam baloch

Mahira Khan

Mahira Khan has a massive fan following and any other actress with this kind of a fan following would usually be seen in a lot of dramas but that is most definitely not the case with Mahira Khan. Mahira Khan usually works in one drama a year and her presence alone ensures that a drama will be followed by majority of the viewers. Her innumerable fans would like it if they could see her in more dramas but Mahira is putting films before dramas for now. Bin Roye is the next big project starring Mahira Khan which fans are looking forward to eagerly.

mahira khan10

Nadia Jamil

Nadia Jamil has worked only in a few dramas but every time she makes an appearance on screen she leaves an everlasting impression on the minds of the viewers with her natural acting. Nadia Jamil has her very own style of acting which is casual yet impressive. The last time she was seen in a drama serial was back in 2012.

The reason we don’t see Nadia Jamil on television too often is that just like any other actor who started her career with theatre and is still attached to it, she does not find working in television dramas as rewarding as working in theatre. Nadia Jamil while giving an interview to a local magazine shared her feelings about working in TV in the following words, “TV tends to restrict you a lot. There is a lot of cast and takes involved. So eventually you lose your spontaneity. Then aren’t many good directors for TV. I just love working with Mehreen.”

Theatre artists do not get the fame and recognition which television artists get but is Nadia Jamil really in this profession for fame and recognition? “Not at all. Never seek recognition. If I were hungering for fame. I would have been doing plays right, left and center. I am into very selected work for TV right now and in fact trying o focus more on stage.” This is how Nadia Jamil thinks that is why we do not get to see her in dramas very often.

nadia jamil1

Alishba Yousuf

Alishba Yousuf is another one of those actresses who do not appear in dramas very often but whenever she takes up a project she makes sure she leaves her mark. Alishba does not give too many interviews and even if she does it is very seldom that she talks about her career or future plans. It seems like acting is more of a hobby for Alishba than a profession therefore she only acts when some project really appeals to her.

alishba1

Annie Jaffrey

Annie Jaffrey has worked in very few dramas but she always manages to translate the characters she plays perfectly on screen. Her effortless performances along with a style that is all her own makes her stand out in the crowd. Annie Jaffrey is currently the voice behind Burqa Avenger and it looks like that is something she enjoys doing. She is also the brand ambassador for Garnier. Annie Jaffrey is one of those celebrities who you like instantly not just for their talent but also their personality. She is another actress who is very choosy although there are many people who would like to see her in dramas more often.

annie jaffrey2

Sania Saeed’s name also comes to my mind and I am looking forward to watching her perform in ‘Tum Rahe Na Tum’. Savera Nadeem is another actress who was last seen in drama serial Bari Apa. Can you think of any other actresses who are popular but are very choosy? Do share your thoughts in the comments section:)

5 Pakistani Dramas To Watch On Pakistan Day

Pakistan’s television industry offers an array of dramas from love stories and family sagas to those that address social issues. Moreover, many Pakistani dramas have conveyed the message of patriotism over the years. The quality writing, innovation and realism made us connect to the stories instantly.

Here’s a list of 5 Pakistani plays to watch on Pakistan Day, 23rd March 2017.

1) Dhuaan
The timeless masterpiece by Sajjad Ahmed is a production of Pakistan Television Network. It’s a story of 5 friends from college who meet after many years and decide to dedicate their lives to the motherland. The tragic closure drama highlights friendship and patriotism.

2) Alpha Bravo Charlie
Alpha Bravo Charlie is a patriotism-invoking drama and broke all records when it was first aired. The drama revolves around the story of 3 friends and their journey as army officers. Alpha Bravo Charlie is such a perfect drama that even today it doesn’t fail to reawaken love and respect for the Pakistan army.

3) Ek Thi Marium
The feature film come telefilm Ek Thi Marium isn’t exactly a drama, however, we couldn’t help but mention it here. It is an inspirational story which makes us feel truly patriotic. Ek Thi Marium is the story of Marium (23) who became the first female fighter pilot to die in a line of duty. Marium was awarded a guard of honor, a 19-gun salute and a Tamgha-e-Basalat by the Government of Pakistan.

Dastaan is an adaptation of Razia Butt’s novel ‘Bano’. It’s not just an ordinary love story of two people but also highlights many happenings from the past. The story is a portrayal of the sacrifices and struggles at the time of partition. It frivolously portrays the history of Pakistan.

So, guys grab the popcorn and binge watch these dramas because all these dramas have selflessly laid down the brave struggles and sacrifices made by our very own people.

We at Reviewit celebrate with all of you the pride of being a Pakistani.

5 Pakistani Dramas That Should End Now

0

Every season, there are some dramas that are stretched to the limit. Gone are the days when Pakistani dramas were short and sweet. Except for a few dramas that end without testing the patience of the viewers, most of the dramas are stretched. Some of these dramas are stretched so much that the viewers just want to see them end. The only reason for stretching these dramas is the high ratings they get. The producers know that once they get the viewers hooked to a drama, they are likely to watch it till the end out of curiosity. Most of the time, a negative character is used to stretch such dramas. Just when the viewers want to see these negative characters getting punished, they get stronger than ever. As a result of this, the viewers start disliking and criticizing the dramas they looked forward to and loved watching.

Because, these dramas do not have the kind of story that can engage the viewers for so long, all the tracks lose their appeal and go haywire. This is what happens when edited scenes, forced scenarios and unnecessary flashback scenes are added to a drama in order to increase the number of episodes. Sometimes even the best stories go off track because of this reason. The writer adds an unwanted and unconvincing twist in the hope that it will make the viewers curious but most often these twists are not welcomed by the viewers.

Here is a list of Pakistani dramas that should end now since they have outlived their vitality.

Kashf

Kashf’s refreshing and convincing plot was the main attraction for the viewers when the drama started. For the first few weeks, this drama kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. As the story progressed, there was a lot of repetition and a few of the ‘refreshing’ tracks gradually turned into just another story involving an insecure husband and few negative characters taking over completely. Although Kashf has been on air for 27 weeks only which isn’t as long a duration as some of the dramas that were stretched in the past but the story has gone off track altogether.

5 Pakistani Dramas That Should End Now

Just like any other drama which has been on air for longer than it should have been, Kashf has lately been unconvincing and unappealing. All of a sudden Kashf’s main rival Matiullah has so much power that the viewers have been left wondering why he suffered for so long if he was capable of doing so much. Not only this, but Ashi’s character has also taken a turn which isn’t welcoming. It won’t be wrong to say that this drama started going downhill when Kashf got married. Since then, the writer has not been able to handle the story convincingly and as a result of that, the drama has become pointless. Most of the viewers have already lost interest in the drama due to the repetition and some unconvincing developments; therefore instead of making the viewers suffer, even more, this drama should now come to an end. A few fast-paced last episodes with a logical ending might make up for these flaws.

Nand

Nand is another drama serial that has been extremely popular because of its storyline and brilliant performances by some of the leading actors. For the longest time, this drama serial was both entertaining and meaningful. Just like most of the dramas on this list, Nand too has been dragged in the past few weeks due to the ratings it has been getting. A drama which for more than 20 weeks was fast-paced and convincing has gradually turned cold due to the unpleasant twists added in the story. Gohar’s return, the resulting conspiracies, as well as the turn Hassan and Farwa’s track took turned this drama into just another misguided drama that goes off track completely. This happened because the writer decided to stretch the drama at a time when it should have ended. There was no point adding different tracks especially unpleasant ones simply to prolong the drama.

5 Pakistani Dramas That Should End Now

Not only are these twists in the story unpleasant but they are not enough either to fill the 4 slots given to the drama during the week. Therefore, there have been plenty of flashback scenes, overuse of the OST to prolong the scenes and some of the scenes are dragged so much that watching the drama while it goes on air is impossible. Nand has started testing the patience of the viewers like no other drama has recently. A drama that had so many refreshing tracks has turned tedious to sit through. Now, the story has gone downhill and it has been scattered so much that it will take the writer another 10 episodes to give it a proper ending if the drama is dragged at this rate. It would be an intelligent move by the production house to give Nand an ending in the next 5 episodes by showing Gohar’s downfall and giving the characters which have been suffering for so long a happy ending.

Sabaat

Sabaat has a star cast and a big production house to back it up but it got mixed reviews from the critics and the general public from the start. The story of the drama revolves around certain relationships and how they are destroyed due to jealousy and the controlling nature of one of the people involved. Most of the viewers thought that Sabaat might offer something different and therefore tuned into it. The lack of character development and an unconvincing script disappointed the viewers but they continued watching the drama in the hope that the story will take an interesting turn at some point. Since Sabaat did not have substance to begin with and it was always a slow-paced drama, it has already been stretched a lot while testing the patience of the viewers. Even after 26 weeks, the leading characters have shown little growth and except for Anaya’s track in the story, all the other tracks are already repetitive and boring.

5 Pakistani Dramas That Should End Now

Sabaat’s story went off track when Miraal and Harris got married. It turned seriously disappointing when Hassan doubted Anaya. Just like all the other dramas that have been dragged, this one also banked on negativity. Even though this script has already been stretched a lot, the production house has decided to stretch it further by not giving it an early ending. There is not much left to show and if the writer wants to show some character growth then the story should move towards an ending soon since it is already too late for all that. Most of the viewers are expecting an abrupt, last-minute ending, others have given up on it altogether therefore it would be a wise idea to end this drama right now in order to avoid further criticism. Most of the people are watching the show at the moment only out of curiosity because they want to see how it ends. Unfortunately, the last episode got a good rating therefore the producers might just prolong the story even more! Miraal’s track continues to be pointless but Anaya’s track is getting interesting, the story overall, however, does not have enough going for it so this would be a good time to end the drama.

Tarap

Tarap started off on a strong note which is why most people were hooked to it even though it aired at 9 pm. Many people were of the opinion that this drama was far more interesting than most dramas that aired at prime time. The story had suspense and intrigue. Gradually, however, Zunaira’s character was turned into the ultimate victim who went through all kinds of problems. Her sufferings have been the center of attention for a long and if the writer does not plan to give the victimization of this character even more screen time then the drama should easily end soon.

5 Pakistani Dramas That Should End Now

There isn’t much left to show in the story and Tarap’s story can easily be concluded in two or three more episodes. Even though people feel sorry for Zunaira but they are also tired of watching her suffer. The story has come full circle now and there is no point dragging it further. Tarap is also one of those dramas which have been doing really well on the TRP charts therefore it is probably going to be stretched more. However, it would be so much better if it ends soon.

Tera Ghum Aur Hum

Tera Ghum Aur Hum’s story is not new but it is one of those entertaining dramas which kept the viewers entertained due to its fast pace. It also had a one-of-a-kind leading man who made some mistakes but did not do anything typical for the most part. The characters and their relationships were interesting throughout until recently. The writer added the two wives living in the same house scenario in order to stretch the story. As if this was not enough, the husband who was always anything but typical very soon fell for all the lies and started doubting his first wife. Once again, the trend has been the same – making the negative character win so that the story can be prolonged. This, it seems is a formula used by all the writers. Perhaps because people watch these dramas to see the good characters winning in the end, showing their downfall at a time when people are waiting for an ending is a way to keep them tuning into the drama.

5 Pakistani Dramas That Should End Now

The misunderstandings in Tera Ghum Aur Hum are already getting frustrating to watch therefore before spoiling a good story even more; this drama should end on a good note. The story has already been spoiled and the only way to keep it from getting even worse is to end it in a week or two.

Are you watching any dramas right now which you feel should come to an end? Share your views.

5 Pakistani Celebrities with Tragic Ends

In the words of Richard Puz, “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal and leaves a memory no one can steal”. Leaving us conscious of our own mortality and how fleeting time is, death is always unpleasant. And that death is made even more unbearable when when we don’t even get a chance to say goodbye to the ones we love. These Pakistani celebrities, some at the height of their careers and some just maturing into the business but all with great potential, had their lives abruptly ended by the hands of fate.

1. Waheed Murad

5 Pakistani Celebrities with Tragic Ends

Pakistani heartthrob and golden boy of the 60’s, Waheed Murad was the face of Pakistan’s golden age of cinema. Often referred to as the “Chocolate boy”, Waheed took the subcontinent by storm and was admired by all because of his charm and unusual talent. Born in Sialkot, Punjab, he graduated from S.M. Arts College Karachi and received his masters in English Literature from the University of Karachi. He made his first appearance in film in 1959, at the age of 21, and went on to feature in 125 films and earned 32 film awards. However by the late 1970s, it was being reported that Waheed was depressed and had become addicted to alcohol, oral tobacco and sleeping pills. His wife left him and he developed various stomach problems, at one instant having to remove a part of his stomach to avoid bleeding to death. He lost a lot of weight and his acting performances after that were also criticized as being weak. The day before he died he was in Karachi for a facial scar removal surgery and the day before had celebrated his son’s birthday. He was found dead in his room, with a paan leaf in his mouth and it is still unclear if his death was a heart attack or suicide. In his final interview, Waheed had said that he would like to be remembered by the song ‘bhooli hoi hoon dastaan, guzra hua khayaal hoon- Jisko na tum samaj sakay mein aisa aik sawaal hoon‘.

In November 2010, he was awarded Sitara-e-Imtiaz by Asif Ali Zardari for his work in the arts.

Here’s one of my favorite performances of him for your reminiscing!

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who Take Pride In Speaking Urdu

0

Urdu is a beautiful language. It is a language which includes a lot of words from Arabic and Persian, which makes it quite vast in terms of vocabulary. In the era of PTV, Urdu content was articulately complied and every single program used to be designed in such a way so that it could cater to the Pakistani audience and their understanding. Over the years, with the freedom of media and no checks on language criteria, Urdu has suffered a lot. The kind of Urdu that was heard during the PTV era is unfortunately only a dream. With the modernization of the Pakistani content and media, the diction has changed and evolved a lot. In dramas or movies, the medium that plays a huge part in promoting the mother tongue, the usage of English has become widespread.

As much as Pakistani actors are becoming globally accessible and are approaching the world to promote a positive image of Pakistan, they are learning English to make it easier for themselves to communicate. However, in such an era, there are very few celebrities who focus on Urdu and love to communicate in their mother tongue. There are very few celebrities who are eloquent in both English and Urdu, but they are sensitive to the fact that when they are making an appearance on Pakistani media, they must speak in Urdu because the larger part of the audience happens to understand it better.

Here are the 5 Pakistani celebrities who take pride in Urdu:

Reema Khan

Reema Khan has groomed herself over the years. It won’t be wrong to say that she has been one of the very few stars who were the pioneers of representing Pakistani culture all around the world. Reema Khan has come a long way and she has groomed herself into an all-rounded personality. She has also focused a lot on learning English because it helps her in communicating with people around the globe. However, Reema Khan is one such celebrity who takes pride in her Urdu. It won’t be wrong to say that in the current era, she happens to be the only celebrity who can engage the audience with how well-versed and eloquent she is when it comes to speaking in her mother tongue. She often sounds poetic and is very articulate in wording her thoughts beautifully. Reema Khan has worked a lot on herself and knows how to leave an impression with her elegance and charm, however her command on Urdu is one of the most endearing aspects of her personality and it definitely sets her apart. It has helped her in carving her niche and it has also made her stand out from the crowd because she has stayed true to her roots.

Imran Abbas

Imran Abbas is just as eloquent in English as he is in Urdu. However, he is also one of those celebrities who are very sensitive to the fact that when they are appearing on Pakistani television, he makes sure to speak in Urdu and all of his interviews show how well-versed he is. Imran Abbas is into Urdu poetry and Urdu literature, which is why it reflects in his thoughts as well as his words. Imran Abbas also has the power to engage the audience with his thoughts and musings, which he conveys in a most beautiful manner.

Imran Ashraf Awan

After unlocking the new level of success, Imran Ashraf has now come to the forefront where he makes sure to interact with his fans and share his thoughts with them through social media. It is a known fact how consuming and taxing the world of social media can be which forces a person to lose their touch of originality and also compels them to follow the trends and race that everyone is guilty of. However, Imran Ashraf’s take is refreshing and endearing. He always comes up with beautifully thought out messages for his fans, however, he makes sure to convey it all in Urdu. This is the reason, all of his posts and comments on Instagram are in Urdu with which he facilitates himself to convey the essence of his heartfelt prayers and wishes towards others.

Hira Mani

Hira Mani is also one of those celebrities who has often spoken in different interviews about how she takes pride in being Urdu Medium Types. This was probably the label given to her when she stepped in the industry and was approached by a lot of different people for interviews, however she didn’t let it turn into her weakness. Hira doesn’t shy away from stating the fact that she is not well-versed in English, that is why she is at her utmost comfort in speaking in Urdu and doesn’t pay heed to what others might think about it.

Mohsin Haider Abbas

Mohsin Haider Abbas is also one such celebrity from the younger lot who is eloquent in Urdu and takes pride in it. In his interview, he had stated how he used to listen to interviews and watch shows of the likes of Sir Zia Mohiuddin. He gave all the credit to those fine seniors who helped him in getting familiar with the beauty of his mother tongue and allowed him to explore it more. Mohsin Abbas Haider is into writing himself, he often does poetry and it is purely in the most beautiful form of Urdu. He has a complete command over Urdu language and he loves to share it with his fans.

These are the 5 celebrities who take pride in speaking Urdu. Do you think more celebrities should work on their vocabulary? Do you also think the dialogues in our dramas should not be so casual in wording and should purely be in Urdu to keep the essence of Urdu language intact? Media plays a huge part in promoting the language but in recent times, it seems to be compromised upon. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who are Real-Life Heroes

0

The field of entertainment demands an immense amount of time and unwavering dedication. It is also a world characterized by allure and extravagance. Pakistani celebrities, just like celebrities from any other part of the world, are frequently at risk of losing themselves in the middle of the constant demands of the industry. Within this highly competitive arena, celebrities must remain consistently devoted to their craft. This often leaves them with limited time to divert their energy towards welfare activities and other such purposes.

While many Pakistani celebrities such as Mahira Khan, Mehwish Hayat, Javeria Saud, Maya Ali, Ahsan Khan, and many others have associated themselves with different causes, there are only a handful of celebrities who have made these causes their primary purpose. Considering the kind of popularity and influence these celebrities exercise, there is so much more that they can do for their country, especially for that segment of society that has lost its voice.

A real hero in our opinion is any celebrity who has always been on the forefront while helping those in need. Not just this, these celebrities have over the years left no stone unturned to use their star power in the best way possible to benefit others. The love they feel for their cause is reflected in everything they do. While some of these heroes may not boast the same level of stardom as some of their counterparts in the entertainment industry, they have carved out a special place in the hearts of the people. Their authenticity, humility, and selflessness make them invaluable treasures in a world where fame often overshadows the true essence of humanity.

Here is the list of those Pakistani celebrities who are heroes in the true sense of the word:

Shehzad Roy

Shehzad Roy had a bright career as a musician and an on-screen persona that charmed many. However, for the past few decades, Shehzad Roy’s main focus has not been his music but his philanthropic work which has become his actual identity. At a young age, he founded Zindagi Trust and since then he has been silently altering the lives of those who needed this help the most. His trust focuses on the education of children as a tool for eradicating poverty and causing awareness.

In 2003, the Trust introduced the groundbreaking notion of “I-am-paid-to-learn,” a non-profit initiative designed to provide gainful opportunities for working children as a viable alternative to child labor. This program not only offers them a pathway to economic independence but also imparts crucial knowledge about their rights as children, laborers, and active members of society.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who are Real-Life Heroes

Through his initiatives, major changes have also been made in the mainstream educational institutions as well as in the Matriculation system. He has also worked with the UN to tackle serious issues such as drugs and crime. The list of work Shehzad Roy has done is extensive. He has been awarded by the government multiple times for his humanitarian work.

Nadia Jamil

Nadia Jamil is another exceptional Pakistani celebrity who has a remarkable acting career which she could have easily furthered even more to get monetary gain and earn more fame. Yet she chose to take a road less traveled and dedicated her time and energy mainly towards taking care of and raising voices for children who have no future or who have been sexually assaulted. For the past many years, Nadia Jamil’s primary focus has been on nurturing and safeguarding the rights of children who find themselves in terrifying circumstances, particularly those who have been deprived of a promising future or who have endured the harrowing experience of sexual assault. This choice reflects her unwavering commitment to using her influence and resources to advocate for the voiceless and vulnerable.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who are Real-Life Heroes

Nadia Jamil has fought many personal battles in the recent past as she fought Cancer bravely. She did not let this stop her from continuing to protect these children in every way she could. She has also adopted such children and has given them a bright future. Nadia Jamil is the most vocal celebrity on social media who does not shy away from voicing her opinion about the injustices against children in particular.

Nadia also shared her own harrowing experience of being sexually assaulted at the young age of 4 so that she could give all such victims out there the inspiration to go on with their lives with their heads held high. Nadia Jamil has deliberately taken a step back from the spotlight of her acting career, a realm where she could easily continue to thrive, to fully immerse herself in her mission to assist and save children. This conscious decision is what truly elevates her to the status of a real-life hero in our opinion.

Massarat Misbah

Massarat Misbah is a Pakistani celebrity who is a success story in many ways. From winning personal battles at a young age to becoming a woman of substance, she has used her resources and influence to help women who are victims of acid attacks through her foundation Depilex Smileagain Foundation. Her journey is marked by resilience, compassion, and a firm commitment to making a difference in the lives of women who have endured the distressing ordeal of acid attacks. Through her foundation, Smileagain, Massarat Misbah has harnessed her resources and influence to uplift and empower these survivors.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who are Real-Life Heroes

At a young age, Massarat Misbah confronted personal trials that tested her inner strength. It was through these challenges that she developed a profound sense of empathy. Rather than allowing adversity to define her, she channeled her experiences into a mission to bring hope and transformation to the lives of others. Her journey took a remarkable turn when she founded Smileagain, a foundation that stands as a beacon of support for women who have been victims of acid attacks. These survivors often face not only physical scars but also deep emotional and societal scars, as they are frequently shunned and marginalized. Massarat Misbah’s foundation does not only give these victims the medical help they need but she also recruits them in her businesses. In this manner, these women and men are able to become economically independent.

Massarat Misbah is a successful entrepreneur who also stepped into acting at the beginning of her career but gradually she has carved a new identity for herself as a philanthropist as well which has been recognized on the international level.

Hadiqa Kiani

Hadiqa Kiani is another Pakistani celebrity who is highly gifted; she is a musician, songwriter, actress, and guitarist. But her most notable work to date has to be the selfless devotion to flood victims for more than a decade now. While many people know about Hadiqa Kiani’s endeavors to relocate and help the flood victims in Balochistan this past year, some people might not know that Hadiqa has been associated with this task for more than a decade now. Back in 2010, she was working alongside UNDP very actively to lend support to the flood victims.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who are Real-Life Heroes

Since 2022 Hadiqa Kiyani made her own organization Vaseela Rah and there was no looking back after that. She achieved her objective with unwavering dedication and hard work. While at the same time, she continues to shine in different projects on television. Just like all the other celebrities on the list, Hadiqa has often compromised on her showbiz activities so that she could focus more on her philanthropic work. She has time and again shown her dedication and commitment towards the welfare work she has been so actively involved in.

Shahid Afridi

Shahid Afridi made a big name for himself both locally and internationally because of his remarkable skills as a player. He is not just a great sportsman but also an amazing human who runs his own charity foundation which has done a great deal in so many different fields that need attention. Shahid Afridi Foundation (SAF) has been working on a mass level to provide clean water, education, health facilities, and emergency services to the people of Pakistan. Not just this the organization has also helped youngsters who are passionate about sports pursue their dreams. SAF is a globally registered charity organization that has been working under the supervision of Shahid Afridi and Jahangir Khan for over 8 years now.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Who are Real-Life Heroes

The real-life heroism of each one of these celebrities is a poignant reminder that heroism can take many forms. Their actions and selflessness also serve as a reminder that true heroism can be found in the simplest acts of kindness, compassion, and firm dedication to making the world a better place for all. These real-life heroes are a source of inspiration for us all and deserve to be recognized and cherished for the profound impact they make. Their choice to prioritize the welfare of others over personal success is a testament to their enduring commitment to a higher purpose, making them genuine heroes in our eyes.

5 Pakistani Celebrities Make It To Eastern Eye’s 30 Under 30 List

0

Many Pakistani stars are making a mark. Last year had so many moments with our stars putting their footprints around the globe.

5 Must to Have Ingredients for a Hit Drama

0

What makes a drama hit? There are a hundred factors that play an important role in determining the success of the drama and here are some of the suggested factors that can play a major role in making any TV drama serial super hit, as per my observation.

Have a look!

05. Well Written Script:

The main essence that any drama has is its script but the main question is if everyone settles with it.  Dramas are basically an imitation of what’s actually happening in our daily life so if the script s really powerful and well written and is able to reflect the actual happenings of the surroundings without having to have a bad impact on the story line then it will have much more possibilities to  flourish in the audience and possible niche.

04.  Well Executed Direction:

It is the duty of the director to have an entire overlook of the drama and make sure that the quality of the script remains constant and actors are able to perform according to the character they are playing in the production which requires multitasking and inspiration. A well-executed direction means that the director has got an artistic vision and he is very much able to execute the required magic in the spectacle.

03. Timings of the Drama:

The timings at which these drama serials should be aired are of crucial importance as well. It has been surveyed that most of the people enjoy primetime shows on TV as compared to those being put on show late night.

02. The OST:

Without a soundtrack the drama has no soul whatsoever because it shows the inner asset and the perceptions of any drama serial before it has been released.  Having a good soundtrack will help directors slide the whole landing of any drama. It has happened with a number of TV drama serials that the title song has given a comprehensive well-appointed look to the entire text and recital and because music is forever, a soundtrack may have an undying impact on the audience.

01. The cast:

When it comes to casting the crew, having the most wanted people in your group is an ultimate requirement. A good actor must know how to deliver the dialogue, how to interpret emotions and bring the liquor of reality in his/her performance. Audience today is clever enough to know if the cast of any dram serial is well chosen or not and they know if any actor is being a dummy or a genuine one thus attracting their attention towards their work.

So these were 5 of the most important elements that I think, play a vital role in making a drama hit.

5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

0

Mere Pass Tum Ho is an entertaining play which keeps the viewers guessing. Apart from its entertainment value, the realistic scenarios also give the viewers a lot to reflect upon. The fast pace of Mere Pass Tum Ho makes it a must watch. The interesting twists and turns keep the entertainment value alive. There are many characters similar to the one we have seen in Mere Pass Tum Ho in real life too. This drama also has some lessons so it is something bigger to offer. Most often when dramas with social messages go on air, they are promoted as such. But sometimes viewers do not watch such dramas because many of them watch dramas for entertainment alone. We are guessing that this is the reason why some producers have stopped promoting social dramas in such a way. Mere Pass Tum Ho is one such drama which has social messages but it is not being promoted as such. While on the one hand Mere Pass Tum Ho is being criticized for being bold. On the other hand people are also loving how it gives some really good lessons.

Here are 5 lessons we learned from Mere Pass Tum Ho.

Cheaters Never Win

We have all heard this phrase even as children. Whether you are playing a game or are in a relationship, cheating is always considered wrong. Mere Pass Tum Ho in a really impressive and entertaining way has shown that people who cheat never win. Shehwar and Mehwish both cheated on their spouses. They were so sure that they were justified in doing so. They went behind their spouses’ back and had an affair. Not only this they were constantly lying to them as well. Mehwish couldn’t care less what Danish was going through and Shehwar too was not bothered about how his wife would react if she found out what he was doing. Both of them thought they were headed towards a happy ending but the previous episode clearly indicated that they are going to be the losers in the end.

5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

Mateen sahib’s story also proved just that. He also cheated on his wife thinking he was going to lead a happy life with the woman he married. He ended up losing that woman and spent the rest of his life in guilt. His remorse and sadness was evident from his last scenes. The writer gave two different examples of both the genders to show that cheaters never win!

5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

Gratitude Is a Gift

Mere Pass Tum Ho showed how an ungrateful wife ruined everything. Mehwish always thought they never had enough and wanted more. She was never happy with the man who loved her dearly. She did not even value her child enough to stay in this marriage for him. Basically, Mehwish’s unthankful nature was the first reason why she could not see all the blessings in her life. On the other hand Danish valued Mehwish’s presence in his life and for him her companionship mattered more than anything else. Mere Pass Tum Ho showed two different perspectives from married partners and we are pretty sure many people learned how important gratitude is in a relationship from it. Same was the case with Mateen sahib too who only later on realized what he had lost.5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

 

Greed Is a Curse

Mere Pass Tum Ho also has this lesson. Mehwish’s materialistic approach right from the beginning was the main characteristic of her personality. She was always attracted to wealth and materialistic things. Same is the case with Shehwar as we will learn as the story progresses. He has been involved in fraud to get hold of his wife’s wealth. In the end he too will get into trouble because of that. Danish who never valued materialistic things will be happy in the end.

5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

 

Betrayal Affects Children The Most

When a spouse betrays and there are children involved then the children suffer more than anyone else. In the beginning when Mere Pass Tum Ho started people used to wonder why Rumi’s character was part of the story. Now we know that it was there to teach all those men and women a lesson who leave not only their spouses but also their children for someone else. Rumi had a close relationship with his mother but after she left not only was his personality shattered for a while but he grew totally distant from her. His dialogues show that he still loves her but he feels a lot of anger and resentment.

5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

Mehwish thought she could come get Rumi any time she wanted but the writer aptly showed that even if you are a mother, children are not going to love you unconditionally if you leave them.

Good People Get Rewarded

This is the best lesson! Watching Danish do well in his life lately has definitely proved that things will only get better for him. Although he is still hurt but he has his son with him. Rumi loves his father more than anyone else. Rumi valued his father even when he had no money. So even though Danish lost Mehwish, he is constantly being rewarded in some way or the other. The money he is earning is definitely a step in the right direction too even if he never ran after money but he enjoys showering his son with a good life and gifts.5 Lessons We Learned From Mere Pass Tum Ho

Apart from that Danish has also been rewarded with the gift of having faith in himself, something which was completely missing before. He has the guts to do things now which he never had before, which is a big change and nothing short of a reward. Mateen sahib’s wife too lead a good life with a man who loved and valued her. While Mateen sahib died alone and sad, his wife had someone by her side who loved her.

Marriage is a sacred institution therefore the makers of Mere Pass Tum Ho have done people a favor by giving out these lessons through this drama. What do you think? Share your views in the comments section.

5 Lessons We Learned From Ehd-e-Wafa

0

Ehd-e-Wafa is one of the most popular dramas on television right now. It airs on HUM and PTV Home. The script of the drama Ehd-e-Wafa has been written by Mustafa Afridi and it has been directed by the ace director Saife Hasan. Ehd-e-Wafa is not just another drama because it serves a higher purpose. Since ISPR is behind the project therefore Ehd-e-Wafa has in an intelligent manner played a vital role in providing the youngsters with the inspiration they need in order to achieve their goals. At a time when Pakistani dramas constantly focus entirely on either marriage or relationships in general, a drama like Ehd-e-Wafa has been welcomed by the viewers because of its progressive theme.

5 Lessons We Learned From Ehd-e-Wafa

When Ehd-e-Wafa initially aired, the viewers were expecting it to be a lot like Alpha Bravo Charlie, a drama which focused entirely on the armed forces. Ehd-e-Wafa however turned out to be a play which basically focuses on the youngsters more than anything else. It shows what role youngsters can play in the society and that they should not take this role for granted. This drama has so many important lessons and is a must watch especially for all the young people who might think that there isn’t much they can do to make a difference.

Here are 5 important lessons which we learned from drama serial Ehd-e-Wafa.

Youngsters Should Stay Focused

When the story started Saad, Shariq and Shehryar were shown as young boys for whom fun came before everything else. They enjoyed breaking rules and although all of them were shown as good students but they were not focused enough. Being expelled from the hostel served as a much needed reality check and after that all these 3 youngsters focused entirely on their studies and career. All through the drama in different ways, the writer showed how important it was for youngsters to focus on their main goal. Time and again through different situations, the writer kept on reinforcing the idea that for young people education comes before everything else.

When Saad and Dua decided to part ways, that was such a good way of conveying the message. Shehryar too did not want to get married or engaged to Masooma because he wanted to focus on his main objective which was getting himself prepared to get his dream job.

Education & Hard Work Is The Key To Success

This is the most important message in this drama. Although Shehryar, Shariq, Saad and even Gulzar come from completely different backgrounds but all of them managed to get somewhere in life because they concentrated on their education and most importantly they worked hard. Shehryar’s background was such that he could have continued carrying on his father’s legacy yet he decided to break the cycle by getting education and working really hard. There were so many times when Shehryar was helping his father and carrying on with his education at the same time, which was not easy but in the end he achieved his goal and in doing so he changed the future of his entire family. He will definitely be the reason why his sisters too manage to achieve something bigger in life.

5 Lessons We Learned From Ehd-e-Wafa

Shariq’s track also suggested just that. Although, he came from a family which was not well off but he believed in himself and made sure he equipped himself with the education he needed to make his dreams come true. Gulzar is one such biggest example in the drama. When he went back to his village, he mentioned that he couldn’t have done everything he did without the support of his elders who helped him get the education he needed. Apart from that all through the drama even Saad’s journey shows that without hard work you cannot achieve anything big. These tracks motivate the viewers to work hard and to believe that hard work pays off.

Women’s Careers are Just as Important as Men’s

This is another important lesson in the drama and one which has been put forward in a way which is anything but preachy. All those viewers who are watching Ehd-e-Wafa can never forget the conversation which Dua and Saad had when Saad came to help Dua with moving things in her new house. Dua asserted that she wanted to be a doctor because it wasn’t just important for Saad to get where he wanted but it was equally important for Dua to have her own career. Saad’s mother has also been shown as a working woman, Shariq’s sister worked hard to bring him up and run the house. All these examples of career-oriented women who are shown contributing to the society just as much as men do have been the most remarkable lesson in this drama. Ramsha is another bright career-oriented young lady. Raani too has been shown actively contributing to her husband’s career even though she is not educated and her ways are different from the other women. Even Saad’s sister has been shown as a creative and intelligent young woman with her own identity.

5 Lessons We Learned From Ehd-e-Wafa

Most of our dramas portray women in the same light. The biggest accomplishment for most women in Pakistani dramas is to find a good man. Here we have so many wonderful women with good men in their lives but that for them is not enough. They are shown as individuals who also want to contribute to the society and do something for themselves. The men in their lives are their partners and not people they are dependent on.

Be The Change You Want To See In The World

We have some amazing young characters in Ehd-e-Wafa who really are making a difference. Instead of complaining about the system, most of these young people have worked hard to attain positions where they can make a difference. Shariq is fighting a war all on his own for the longest time. Instead of becoming a part of the system, he is constantly trying to be the change he would want to see. Similarly, Shehryar even with all his unfavorable circumstances was never shown complaining but he is now in a position where he can make changes for the better. Very soon, the viewers will see him do just that.

Saad too used his own capabilities’ and abilities to help others. His leadership skills were never used by him to show his superiority but he always helped his peers be their best by giving them confidence.

Respect Your Parents, Make Them Proud

The scenes covering this aspect of the play were the most emotional. Shehryar, Shariq, Saad and Gulzar made their parents proud and that for them was more rewarding than anything else. Through all these emotional scenes, the makers of the drama so aptly showed how young people can be a source of happiness for their parents. Even though Dua found out after her father’s death that she was adopted but she has made her parents proud by playing her role as a daughter as impeccably as she possibly could. This particular lesson is one which Pakistani dramas rarely have. The salutes from the parents to their children have been emotional and they left an impact.

5 Legendary Songs’ Messed Up Remakes!

Pakistan’s Entertainment Industry has suffered lots of ups and downs since its inception, however, there is one department that has never stopped making us proud -the department of music. Amazing songs and artists have come out over the years and have made Pakistan proud on different platforms. However, as one would expect,music from olden times is forgotten as new music overtakes the throne. It’s pretty much like the stage of life- someone goes to give others space to showcase their talent. But, like some people are hard to forget, some songs are even harder. They just require renditions to fit in the time they are being played in. A gentle reminder of their greatness, if you will.

Making remakes of songs is a very tricky business, no one can argue with that. Unlike an original song, there are already hopes and expectations from the fans associated with a rendition. A comparison is also, of course, always drawn between the original and the remake. If the remake is better than the original than it is greatly appreciated and if it is not then it receives a lot of criticism too. Over the years, a lot of our old but gold legendary songs have gone through remakes not only in their place of origin (Pakistan) but in India too. In fact, a lot of superhit songs in India are the remakes of Pakistani songs.

Today, however, I am going to count down some of the disastrous  remakes of our Pakistani legendary songs that have come out over the years. (The renditions sung by Indian singers, however, are not included.) The 5 songs below, according to me, did more damage than good. Either there was no synchronization between the voice of the singer and the tune, the beat of the song just didn’t match the lyrics, or it simply failed to sound good to the ears. Some of the most popular songs are made from taking risks but sometimes those risks produce a not very favourable result :

Sayonee – Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Ali Noor

Sayonee is the talk of the town these days and for all the wrong reasons. The song was originally sung by Ali Azmat while he was in the band Junoon, in the year 1997. Coke Studio decided to produce a remake of this amazing song and even chose the best artists for it Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Noor. However, they totally failed in their attempt to make the remake a success and please the audience. The song has managed to gain a lot of views on the internet thanks to how bad it is! Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, no doubt , has one of the best voices in the sub-continent but it seems like this song wasn’t made for him. In fact, in my opinion, this song is only meant to be sung by Ali Azmat in his style, powered by his strong vocals. Tweaking with this song brought down severe consequences in the form of embarrassing memes and blatant criticism on the internet. To say that Coke Studio’s version destroyed the essence of Sayonee wouldn’t be far from the truth.

Zara Chehra- Zohaib Hassan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPHhJ7voa5M

It is true that Nazia Hassan and Zohaib Hassan were a very popular duo back in the time but after the pop queen’s tragic, untimely death, Mr. Zohaib didn’t make much music and unfortunately after listening to him sing Chehra on coke studio, I can see why. He had even worked for Coke Studio before (Indian Coke Studio) but his performance never made it to the air.  They probably didn’t enjoy his singing much either. His cover of his classic, Zara Chehra would have been a total loss had it not been for Amir Zaki’s guitar solo. I remember the high anticipations I had from the song because I had hoped Amir Zaki and Zohaib working together will produce one of the greatest hits of all times but the only enchanting aspect of the entire performance was watching Amir and Zohaib working together. I wish they could have at least met the benchmark if not surpassing the original version!

Dekha Na Tha- Bilal Khan & QB

My ears are still bleeding from listening to the cover.  Seriously, dekha na tha kabhi aesa koi cover. Bilal Khan dived in Alamgir’s fabulous song with his auto-tuned voice and managed to make me shake my head in extreme disappointment. Alamgir’s a legend of our music industry, the least Mr.Khan could do was sound like himself and not a robot! Moving on to his partner, QB- the talented voice of our Music Industry who’s singing in the song clearly shows that she is not made for pop!  Her vocals are no doubt good, but seriously misplaced. Lastly, QB and Bilal Khan’s robotic voice do not jell together at all! What the original version entailed was: Alamgir’s amazing voice, a good beat, smooth vocals, luscious music and stirring shift of scales. All of this was lacking in the cover. The ‘Jazba’ song didn’t have ‘Jazba’ enough.

Sone Di Tavitri – Shahida Minni 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pVjoCp6U5w

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc5_DljyqWw

If I was to rate this song in terms of how bad the rendition is from the original , I’d be inclined to use the symbol of infinity instead of a digit because mere digits cannot do justice to just how awful the Shahidi Minni’s version of Noor Jahan’s ‘Sone Di Tavitri’ is. She’s brought in an arabic touch to the song and uses a sultry voice to replace Noor Jahan’s soothing yet playful one. Music is arguably one of the most powerful forms of expression that we have. Madam Noor Jahan surely understood that if her singing of patriotic, romantic, or even heartbroken songs was anything to go by. Her voice had the power to generate an emotional effect in one. Shahida Minni’s voice clearly lacks that. To top it off, destroying the beat of the song to produce something ‘new’ and ‘modern’ managed to ruin the entire song in a spectacular way. Kudos to her for totally wrecking the song.

Ye Jo Halka Halka Suroor- Farhan Saeed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOz1sVE4nyQ

Farhan Saeed has a great voice and is also a very hard working singer, I am not going to deny that but his rendition of ‘ye jo halka halka suroor’ didn’t touch my heart. To be fair, it’s nearly impossible for any singer to sing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s song to the late singer’s caliber but this wasn’t even close to it. Farhan’s voice just didn’t jell in with the classical music composition of the song. If I hadn’t listened the original then Farhan might have gotten a green light from me but as far as comparing his version with the original one goes- it has failed to impress me. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s strong yet melodious voice is dominant in the original version while Farhan has equal parts of music and his voice. Nusrat’s voice is smooth like honey in some parts of the song and at others, it has a very gripping coarseness. Farhan’s voice sounds very immature and the overall product, rushed in comparison to the original. Singers should really think through whether or not they can perform to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s level before undertaking such a task.

Honourable Mention- National Anthem of Pakistan

The recreation of the national anthem of Pakistan by Strings was just terrible. National anthem is more than just getting the notes right. It should have feelings of love and patriotism for one’s country too. Coke Studio’s version lacked that. Completely. The singers seemed too determined to get the notes right and very little about emotions. I would especially mention Nabeel Shaukat and Farhan Saeed playing a greater part in ruining the anthem than just being emotionless. The verse they were given was executed by both the singers with extremely low and fading notes. I had to remind myself that this is a national, supposedly  most patriotic song not some tune that an angrez would play at some funeral. Danyal Zafar’s voice didn’t seem necessary in the anthem either as it was overshadowed by both his brother and Momina Mustehsan. The one tiny portion that you can hear is at the end of the word ‘hilaal’ where he is completely out of sync from the other two singers. All in all, this is the perfect example of too many cooks spoil the broth. Sometimes simplicity is better than extravagance.

She has done everything that the stars nowadays do to make the necessary changes in their looks to make themselves look more appealing.

5 Female Celebrities Who Should Reduce Some Kilos!

0

Are you weight conscious? Do you notice when our female celebrities see, to have put on same extra weight? If yes, then congratulations, we have so much in common. Though talent has nothing to do with body weight at all, the overall persona of a celebrity is a combined judgment which includes every reflection of her personality. I have been thinking for quite a long to write on this and finally here is a list of 5 female celebrities who should reduce a little of fat to look even better on screen.

1)      Sanam Jang!

Wonders! She looked extremely slim in Dil-e-Muzter which is not an old story too. However, Sanam has recently put on some KGs which are becoming quite noticeable too.

2)      Nadia Afghan

Drama industry needs such characters equally, isn’t it? Despite of all the negativities Nadia has had been reflecting by now, I still feel that she has got a lot of potential. Nadia comes on number 2 in my list. Reducing some weight might bring her some better roles too. What do you think?

3)      Jasmeen Manzoor

She really doesn’t need an introduction. Does she? Jasmeen is one of the most prominent anchors who are followed by a huge audience for their flawless work. There can be seen an obvious change in her as she has put on a lot of weight now which is reflecting her dressing too now. For me, Jasmeen should also give some time to herself and should reduce a bit!

4)      Sonia Rehman

Sonia, though not seen on screen these days, has always proved herself as an actress with a lot of talent. With some hit dramas on her credit like Doraha, Sonia is a good choice for directors. She can still make a comeback on screen with a little working on her weight, as it is, her  fans are more than excited to see her in dramas again!.

5)      Maya Khan

The morning show host Maya Khan can be considered as one of the most controversial celebrities of Pakistan who are always into limelight for different reasons. Her hosting career has had been at risk initially but things now seem to have settled to their best. The host is always ready to arrange mayuns and Mehndis on her show where she is found dancing on the stage. Reducing some KGs might help her in looking at least bearable in all the heavy makeup and tight costumes that she often wears.

So these were 5 female celebrities on my list who, according to me should give this idea a thought. How far do you agree?
