6 Most Disliked Couple of Pakistani Dramas

Here is list of 6 Most Disliked Couple of Pakistani Dramas.
What makes an on screen couple odd? The answer is simple, the wrong choice of actors, lack of chemistry between the stars playing their respective roles and the way their track is introduced and carried forward both by the writer and the director. Sometimes the story is not strong but poignant performances, sleek direction and on screen chemistry between the leads can make an on screen couple a hit. At other times even when the actors give their best performances and the director puts in his best effort too, the overall product is not impressive because the story-line is dodgy.

6 Lessons Pakistani Drama Makers Should Learn From Etrugrul Ghazi

Pakistani drama industry is an institute in itself. It has the experience of grabbing the attention of the audience and earning appreciation for the kind of dramas that are made portraying the reality of life in such a manner that it touches the hearts of the viewers. It won’t be wrong to say that Pakistani drama industry is experienced and has been ruling the hearts of Pakistani audience for decades. Pakistani dramas have always held a special place in the hearts of the people because they explored the subjects which people could relate to.

Over the last decade, unfortunately Pakistani drama industry shifted the focus on quantity instead of quality, this is the reason where every year, there are a handful of dramas which leave an impact and become unforgettable, whereas there are a lot more in number that fail to do so. Pakistani drama writers and makers have sifted through the subjects and have put an entire focus on such stories which revolve around domesticated issues, related to marriages, divorces and everything in between. In their defence, Pakistani drama makers always put an entire blame on the audience that because they want to watch such content, we create it.

The overnight popularity that the Turkish period drama Etrugrul Ghazi has achieved in Pakistan is an example in itself. It’s success is enough of a reason for the Pakistani drama makers to broaden their vision and look at the bigger picture. This is not the first time that the Turkish content has attained this level of popularity in Pakistan, which has made a lot of big names of Pakistani showbiz industry insecure.

There was a time when the drama industry was not producing much dramas and the focus of the Pakistani audience was shifted to the Indian content, then in order to bring back the Pakistani viewership, Pakistani drama makers started making all such dramas which were heavily influenced by Indian dramas. Similarly, with the success of Ertugrul Ghazi, it shouldn’t be an embarrassment for the Pakistani drama makers to get influenced by Turkish content in order to improve their standards and content.

Here are some of the lessons Pakistani drama makers should learn from Ertugrul Ghazi

Infotainment

Dramas are a great source of entertainment but their level goes up a notch when the quotient of information becomes a part of the process. This is the easiest way of teaching the masses things that are meaningful and are going to help them on a personal level, which is what Ertugrul Ghazi has done for the Pakistani audience. This is the reason people can not stop talking about it. There have been a very few Pakistani dramas that fell in the category of infotainment but in general, almost all the dramas that are made are purely rating-driven and focus more on such tactics that rely heavily on negativity. In Pakistani dramas, it is only in the end when the justice is prevailed, which often loses its purpose and the overall essence is defied. It’s about time Pakistani dramas veer away from the domestic issues and broaden their vision as to how they can bring a change in people’s lives by showing meaningful content.

6 Lessons Pakistani Drama Makers Should Learn From Etrugrul Ghazi

Pakistani Viewers Are Intelligent

For the longest time, Pakistani drama makers have played a blame game in order to defend themselves. It has been seen how intelligent writers have changed their ways and have written such dramas which have transpired nothing but negativity citing the demand of such dramas as their excuse. Ertugrul Ghazi’s popularity in Pakistan has shown that Pakistani viewers are not only intelligent but are very much capable of grasping such sort of content which has so much to offer and does not only revolve around the domestic issues. Pakistani drama makers believe that they are doing Pakistani audience a favor by showing the evils prevailing in the society but now it has come to the point where there’s absolutely nothing new in Pakistani dramas, this is the reason why the audience easily switched to Turkish series because the content was not only new but was fresh and different.

6 Lessons Pakistani Drama Makers Should Learn From Etrugrul Ghazi

Explore More Genres

Pakistani drama makers take pride in the fact that they make dramas for Pakistani audiences, however they have become tunnel visioned and shy away from exploring more genres. Even if they make the plot of drama seem promising, in the end, everything boils down to domestic issues and then the viewers are stuck to watch the similar themes and topics they have watched for years. Ertugrul Ghazi’s plot and genre is different, this should serve as an eye-opener to the Pakistani drama makers that it is perfectly fine to explore different domains and genres. It keeps the quotient of novelty and makes the viewers happy. Not every drama should be a historic or period drama, but every once in a while, such dramas or even more genres should be explored.

6 Lessons Pakistani Drama Makers Should Learn From Etrugrul Ghazi

Pakistani Viewers Want Substantial Characters

It is a sad reality that in Pakistani dramas, every character; be it a man or a woman is shown to be a victim or unrealistically helpless. Those who are shown to be head-strong are in the end made to look like villains and that’s how many of the dramas end, leaving a negative impression in the minds of the audience. According to Pakistani dramas, those characters who are submissive are good and those who fight for their rights are not. It has been a decade almost where people have seen such weak characters who can not fight the circumstances or fend for themselves. One of the main reasons behind the popularity of Ertugrul Ghazi is that every character has a personality and every character is substantial; be it a man or a woman. This has opened up the eyes of the Pakistani viewers to such characters that are rarely seen in Pakistani dramas, this is why they have fallen in love with these characters. It is about time that Pakistani drama writers should come up with stronger and substantial characters and show them working together in harmony to bring about a change in their surroundings. This is the easiest way to inspire people towards doing good.

6 Lessons Pakistani Drama Makers Should Learn From Etrugrul Ghazi

We Should Take Pride In Islamic History

Islamic history is rich and has so much to offer. Not every drama can be a historic drama, however excerpts can always be picked up from the history and instilled in the dramas in such a way which makes the viewers think, introspect and look out for what was suggested in the drama. This will open up new horizons of research and knowledge for the viewers. Dramas don’t have to be preachy or heavy, however a scenario can be created which takes the mind of the viewers into another dimension and forces them to do soul-searching. Pakistani dramas have shifted the focus away entirely from the religion and unfortunately, the concepts that are shown are also so twisted that makes one watching them question the thought-process of those who came up with such topics without proper research. In order to bring the element of religion or history in Pakistani dramas, they only have to show some meaningful conversations which speak about bigger ideas and the sacrifices made by such respectable personalities, that will be enough of a favor to the Pakistrani audience.

6 Lessons Pakistani Drama Makers Should Learn From Etrugrul Ghazi

Quality Content Will Yield Ratings

There is no doubt about the fact that most of the dramas in Pakistan are made with one motive; ratings. This is the reason why those people who have had the ability to earn more ratings end up controlling the content of the channels. Irrespective of the drama having any morality or goodness to offer, Pakistani drama makers go to any extent to create such scenarios which are going to score them ratings and place them on top of the TRP charts. Ertugrul Ghazi has broken all the records of ratings in Pakistan, which has been surprising to almost all the people related to the showbiz industry. However, instead of debating why people are appreciating Turkish content, they should learn the simple fact that if the Pakistani content will have the quality, it will automatically yield them ratings without having to rely on cheap negative tactics which provide nothing purposeful to the viewers.

These are the few lessons that the Pakistani drama makers should learn from the Turkish period drama Ertugrul Ghazi. Do you think the popularity of Ertugrul Ghazi should serve as a lesson to the drama makers of the country to reassess their priorities and shift the focus away from domesticated and negativity generating issues? Is Pakistani drama industry in need of an overhaul? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.

6 Dramas That Need To End Now!

The “Big 3” (or 2 now that Geo is off the race) have promised to torture us beyond our tolerance level.  This has reached a limit when even their avid followers have stopped watching their shows.  They drag and stretch dramas, even those which have no story lines. I can’t choose to ignore them because I want my drama industry to flourish.

 

The list includes:

 

1. Mere Mehrbaan: From 7th Sky Entertainment, the director of Laa, Farooq Rind and writer of Ranjish Hi Sahi, Maha Malik, Mere Mehrbaan airs on Hum TV on Mondays. The story is regular, with two families_ one of Shaista and the other of Nayyara Begum. Shaista is the pure evil and Nayyara Begum is the pure good. Their daughters are exactly like them. Obviously, the good ones are facing all the problems in life and the evil ones are enjoying their lives. The problem is that the “problems” have been dragged so much that the drama doesn’t move an inch in a whole hour and it is stagnant.  There are many OTT scenes and they are truly annoying. So Hum TV, please end this drama because it is unbearable now.

123

 

 

 

 

2. Arranged Marriage: This drama also airs on Mondays but on ARY entertainment. The story is about a girl Roshanay who plays with dolls or plays cricket most of the time. She gets married to Ahmed who is in love with someone else. Agha Ali is once again playing the role of a torturous husband who hates his wife (remember Rukhsar? ) Roshanay becomes the regular chup chaap girl after marriage. The drama is stagnant for now since the only scenes that take place are Ahmed threatening Roshanay to take divorce from him otherwise he will make her life a living hell. He hasn’t done anything other than threatening though . He has been doing it for like 8 episodes!!

212

 

 

 

 

3. Janam Jali: This show airs on Thursdays on Hum.  It has nothing to offer accept a mother-in-law who wants grandsons only and could slaughter her daughter-in-laws if they don’t give birth to sons. The story has been stretched beyond compare and all the stereotypes have been thrown in. From annoying saas to shukki husband and harrassing  behnois to sick and wailing children asking for their mothers and oh yes, second wife.

912d07aea749a6f6a4105a165d8f8305

 

 

 

 

4. Mausam:  On Fridays we see Shazia and Saman who are cousins. Shazia loves Hasir, the guy who fell in love with Saman at first sight (Saman doesn’t know anything about it) . Shazia’s jealousy compelled her to turn against Saman and to get her married to her own fiance’.  Hashir tou hain hi majnu! He decides never to leave Saman. He tries to help her in every way but she keeps rejecting his help , unaware of  his feelings. Her husband spots Hashir near her and this leads to misunderstandings after which he tortures her. The worst part is, Saman’s mother knows everything (thanks to her amazing eavesdropping skills) and chooses to remain silent. Hashir decides to sacrifice for Saman and purposes Shazia. Shazia is over the moon and can’t wait to get married. The reason I want it to end is, that the story is not engaging. Hum TV has given us blockbusters after blockbusters on Fridays and now……

2243c3b20e6301869e17d793e28aade2

 

 

 

 

5. Aahista Aahista: One man with two wives is struggling to live. He has just been caught with the second one by the first wife. Ever woman in the drama whether his mother, his sister or his wives love him so much that they just can’t hate him. The story is being dragged and should end now!

123

 

 

 

6. Adhura Milan: I can’t explain the story here. That’s because there are thousands of tracks in this drama. This explains the reason of it’s dragging but doesn’t explain the over-the-top scenes or the unskilled actors. There’s an over-aged man caught between 3, I repeat, 3 wives and his one and only love. His one and only love being tortured by her husband.  A really long coma (taken from Indian dramas) . A person who wants to keep all the family wealth to herself. And so on. A-Plus please wrap up this drama quick!

Feel free to express your views . Thank you.

Bilquees in Bilquees Kaur (Played by Bushra Ansari): Throughout the show I believed she was some regular evil mother-in-law but in the end, it was revealed how she had taken care of her children and earned for them. Her husband did nothing but rest in the house all day. She worked hard for the sake of her children. I was surprised at how much her son had misunderstood her.

5th International Children Film Festival to be held at Lahore!

It is more than a dilemma that there is hardly any local content left that can be associated with the children of the nation where we see no dedicated programs or channels that work on child grooming and skill motivation for the young souls who, as a result of this seek interest in foreign content and follow Indian talent hunt shows and movies.

 It is not only in India that special projects are been rendered to this specific age group of viewers but the trend is more like a need in west. It was recently a creative idea of Burka Avengers but again it too failed to attract a pretty huge audience probably because of the lack of promotions been done by the channel itself.

 Much to our delight, a non-profit organization The Little Art (TLA) is working on Children’s cinema and for that it will soon be holding an international children’s film festival in Lahore from 16th to 21st September, 2013.

 This 6-day festival is being held at Alhamra Cultural Complex, Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore in collaboration of Ministry of Culture and Youth Affairs, Government of Punjab.

 The significance of this film festival is the fact that the movies been chosen for the festival highlight the problems faced by children in general. The researchers claim that the idea of spreading awareness and learning through the visual arts among the children is a great way to enhance the capabilities of the children in different domains.

 The Little Art (TLA) has also announced a national art competition named ArtBeat. Festival director, Shoaib Iqbal told in an interview:

  “ArtBeat is a visual arts project to raise awareness about identity, rights, and social justice among children and youth.”

 

With the theme “Me/My Rights”, the competition aims at providing children with a platform to express their inner feelings. Children and youngsters of 3-18 years of age from all over Pakistan submitted their work early this year. The winners will be given 30 different prizes and TLA has announced to fully sponsor two brilliant artists for Sharjah International Biennial for Children’s Arts.

 TLA has done a great deal of work in motivating the children grooming through quality films and this would be its 5th major move in the said domain.

 We wish the team a very good luck for the event,

More power,

5th HUM Awards 2017 – Highs & Lows

5th HUM Awards 2017 – Highs & Lows

This year the 5th HUM awards were held in Lahore and this particular aspect was highlighted on the red carpet as well. All the celebrities shared how they felt about being in Lahore for the awards on the red carpet. Like all the previous years, the award show was grand and lively but there were also some features of the show which continue to disappoint year after year, especially those of us who look forward to a more “Pakistani” (more original) touch to these awards. Overall however, the entire show was a true reflection of the spirit behind this award show.

I think it is only fair to discuss different aspects of the show individually, in order to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the show. I am going to discuss the function and will not be talking about the nominations and whether the winners deserved the awards or not.

The Hosts

If I had to sum up the way the HUM Awards were hosted by most of the hosts in two words then those words would be energetic  and loud. Mikaal Zulfiqar and Hareem Farooque were the first ones to host the ceremony, while Hareem Farooque was relatively spontaneous and at times not very impressive, Mikaal Zulfiqar was energetic but at the same time a little too loud. He was shouting at the top of his voice and not really talking to the audience. Overall however, Mikaal looked great and his energy added more life to the show.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

Nadia Khan’s hosting in the the HUM Awards was toned down but she was too busy reading from her notes and there was very little eye contact with the audience. The political jokes didn’t really fit in either.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

Unlike last year’s HUM awards, Sanam Jung’s hosting was right on point this time around. She looked pretty and was very comfortable on stage. Although this was the first time that Ali Rehman hosted such an event but he did really well, he was more natural and confident than many other celebrities who hosted for the first time in the previous two years. Also, it was good to see some new faces on the stage this time.

The Stage And The Script

HUM’s award show’s stage is always vibrant and grand, the best thing about it is the way everything that happens in the background is handled, from the screens showing pictures, images and even text which goes so well with whatever is happening on the stage to changing the entire background completely, it is always a job well done. The person in charge of the stage definitely did their job faultlessly this time around too without missing out on minute details which add to the beauty of watching the award show because the stage is the center of attention throughout. I truly appreciate the hard work put into making this entire experience not only visually pleasing but also a work of art.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

The script in general was alright, there wasn’t a lot of novelty in the jokes or the skits. Like most of the award shows, the jokes revolved around TRPs and of course Humayun Saeed! I felt like Humayun Saeed himself is bored with these jokes! Yasir Hussain’s Pathan act seemed repetitive especially after watching Shadi Mubarak Ho. Some of his jokes however were hilarious and the best part of his act was that for a change he focused on also those actors who were not sitting in the front row. His joke with Saife Hassan was especially funny and original too because usually such jokes are directed towards the actors and singers.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

One thing HUM excels at is paying tribute to legends in their award shows. They do not only give an award but they do so in a way which shows that they mean it! Farida Khanum deserved all the love and respect she received from the crowd, hosts and the director. Reema Khan was the perfect choice for presenting the award because only someone with good command on Urdu language could have done justice to paying tribute to such a legend.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

There were plenty of “bright karein” jokes during the ceremony and it was really funny watching Ayesha Sana “own” these jokes. It takes a lot of courage to turn something like this into an advantage but Ayesha Sana has done just that!

The Crowd And The Camera Work

The crowd was one of the best aspects of this show because the way everyone cheered for the winners, laughed at the jokes, got emotional when there were tributes and most importantly enjoyed the show as a whole made each one of these people look like a big team instead of competitors. The reactions of the crowd were captured really well too by the camera men and edited perfectly too. Also, the focus wasn’t just on few celebrities in the crowd.

The Performances

Personally, performances which are hugely inspired by Bollywood aren’t my favorite part of an award show which should be reflective of our own entertainment industry but at least this year the songs were from our own films. The opening performance was similar to the ones we have seen in the previous years too, the costumes and the dance both had nothing new to offer.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

The most shocking part however was Shahroz Sabzwari and Sarish Khan’s performance because I wasn’t expecting HUM to endorse their upcoming film. Apart from this, the outfits, performances and especially the song Sarish danced on was substandard.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

Mehwish Hayat’s performance was shown in the promos several times therefore I expected more from it. There wasn’t enough energy in her performance and you would expect HUM to work harder on the dresses which all of these celebrities wore during performances.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

Kubra Khan and Ahsan Khan’s dresses and performances were better than the rest but Reema Khan’s dance performance however was the best since it was a true depiction of her talent, it was graceful and she was the only one who wore a classy outfit while performing.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

Watching Sajjad Ali perform on stage was like a dream come true and that dream became a beautiful reality because of the fact that this entire performance was so  well rehearsed and well put together. Even now Sajjad Ali has the same presence and is still at the top of his game even though he isn’t seen performing on television or shows any more. The youngsters Momina Mustehsan, Asim Azhar and Ali Sethi  sang really well too. Ali Sethi and Asim Azhar however were more lively and confident on stage, Momina Mustehsan’s dress got in her way a lot of time, she appeared to be uncomfortable and distracted.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

The tribute to Junaid Jamshed was sweet because all those people who were really close to Junaid Jamshed were a part of it but at the same time I was disappointed because I was expecting all the songs to be the ones which were sung by Junaid Jamshed.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

Overall, this year the HUM  awards were really well put together and had some unforgettable performances to its credit but just like every year there was a lot of emphasis on English language because of which even some of the celebrities who did not feel comfortable speaking English felt they “had” to give their thank you speeches in English.  I especially liked the way Sania Saeed accepted her award and her thank you speech. Also, the manner in which Zebu of Udaari  was appreciated by Ahsan Khan and the confidence with which she shared how she felt about her experience was endearing.

5th HUM Awards 2017 - Highs & Lows

How many of you watched the show? Do share your thoughts about it.

50+ Beautiful Shab-e-Barat Images of 2020

Beautiful Shab-e-Barat Images of 2020 – Shaban is a special month for the Muslims all across the globe. It is in Shaban that the Shab-e-Barat falls. This month is considered sacred by Muslims. Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to fast a lot in this month. Sometimes he used to fast the entire month of Shaban even before Ramazan started.

Shab-e-Barat is the night of forgiveness. Those who are awake and worshipping are forgiven except for the disbeliever, hater, arrogant, someone who is disobedient to parents and alcohol addicts. Shab-e-Barat begins after Maghrib in the evening of mid Shaban.

Ali ibn Abi Talib [May Allah be pleased with him] reports that the Prophet [Peace be upon him] is reported to have said: “The night of mid-Shaban, let all of you spend in prayer and its day in fasting, for Allah descends to the nearest heaven during that night beginning with sunset and says: ‘Is there no one asking sustenance that I may forgive them? Is there no one asking sustenance that I may grant them sustenance? Is there no one under duress that I may relieve them? Is there not such-and-such, is there not such-and-such, a so forth until dawn rises”

Shab-e-Barat is the golden opportunity for Muslims to beg for forgiveness for their sins. They repent for their sins on this blessed night and fast the next day. Also, they can ask for fortunes and health, The Almighty has promised to bless them with the best. All around the world, the mosques are decorated beautifully for this blessed night. Apart from that, some people lit vigils and others gather in mosques to pray together.

The most authentic Hadith about Shab-e-Barat is as follows, ” “When it is the fifteenth night of Shaban observe prayer during the night and observe fast during the day; for Allah descends to the heaven of the world as the sun sets and says: Is there anyone to seek forgiveness so that I should forgive him? Is there anyone to seek sustenance so that I should provide him? Is there anyone in trouble so that I may relieve him? And so on and so forth, until the dawn breaks.” (Ibn Majah)

Some people also visit the graves of the loved ones who are no longer with them. Since Shab-e-Barat is the blessed night when people also ask for forgiveness for those who have left the world. Since the Islamic calendar is determined by the moon, the date of Shab e Barat changes every year.

Fireworks and distributing sweets among neighbors and children is also a common practice on this blessed day. It is also seen as the night when the fortunes of the people for the next year are decided.

These are some of the most beautiful Shab-e-Barat images of 2020.

5 Worst Dressed Celebrities At HUM Awards

Award Shows are a time when all the celebrities know that all eyes are on them therefore they try their best to wear something that is sure to make them stand out in the crowd. It is unfortunate when these celebrities fail to choose the perfect outfit for themselves or even if they do choose something good their designers mess up things by not stitching the clothes in a manner that compliments their bodies.

Here is a list of five celebrities who failed to impress in the HUM Award function because of various reasons mentioned with their names:

5. Sajjal Ali

Sajjal Ali should be able to carry any look with ease because she is petite but somehow this look doesn’t work as well for Sajjal as it did for Urwa and Mawra. There were too many such dresses in the award show and this one was the worst.

5

4. Sanam Jung

The dress is beautiful but it does not compliment Sanam Jung in any way, It is too heavy for her.

4

3. Angeline Malik

Black and yellow? The combination does not look good and the dress is too simple for an award show. The styling also does not compliment the entire look.

2

2. Cybil Chaudhry:

Was Cybil Chaudhry dressed up as fashion police? She was a walking fashion disaster with those sunglasses and a very casual look.

3

1. Hamza Ali Abbasi:

Someone forgot to tell Hamza Ali Abbasi that this was not a costume party! According to him he was dress up as Jesus. When asked who he was wearing at the red carpet Hamza said, “It is not who I am wearing, but who I am tonight. I even watched  “Passion of the Christ” before coming here tonight. Haysus.”

Who do you think was the worst dressed celebrity at HUM awards?

5 Worst Dramas On Air Right Now

Pakistani drama industry is touching new levels of popularity. It is thriving and producing the kind of dramas that are leaving an impact in the lives of the audience. Pakistani dramas have always been popular because they showcase such stories which are based on reality. Sometimes, the drama makers impart great messages through these dramas, which in a way is their attempt to bring awareness to the people and educate them. Pakistani drama industry has given its viewers some unforgettable dramas and the trend continues till date. Every year, we get to see some amazing dramas which not only end up being mega hits but also stay with the viewers for a long time.

Nowadays with the drama industry producing more dramas than ever before, we see channels competing with each other. It has now come to a point where the quality is being compromised due to quantity. Where some drama makers are putting in continuous efforts to make different dramas and highlight different subjects, there are still such drama makers who are very much stuck in the rut and produce the kind of dramas which revolve around family politics, mistreatment of women, damsel in distress and one-sided atrocities. It is unfortunate that these dramas do end up getting a lot of viewership as well, which then gives the drama makers encouragement to produce the similar kind of content and not break free from the monotony. However, it is a good sign that dramas with different topics are also becoming popular, which sends out a clear message that the viewers have had enough of these typical stories which revolve around miseries of a women and want to see something different. It is definitely hard for the drama makers to maintain the quality, therefore they just come up with tried and tested formulas which grab them the ratings.

Currently few of those dramas can be seen which have bad story line, execution and rely solely on typical miseries and mistreatment of women, these dramas definitely are getting the viewership but we can not overlook the fact that they are probably some of the worst dramas on air right now.

Let’s take a look at the 5 worst dramas on air right now:

Mein Na Janoo

Writer: Noora Makhdoom
Director: Furqaan Khan
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Sanam Jung, Zahid Ahmed, Affan Waheed, Komal Aziz Khan, Wasim Abbas, Huma Nawab, Sangeeta and others.

When Sanam Jung announced it to be her come back drama, her fans were excited. Another intriguing part of this drama which was promoted heavily was the character of a visually impaired man, played by Zahid Ahmed. Main Na Janoo is a perfect case of expectations gone wrong. It is just a story of a woman Farah, who has been wrongly accused and due to that accusation, Farah and her daughter Saira have always been mistreated. Farah’s husband gets married again and has a daughter with his evil second wife. It is a sickening story of family politics and forced marriages. Saira’s cousin Nihaad loves her to an extent that he is obsessed with her and now when she has gotten married to Nain, Nihaad refuses to mind her own business. If this wasn’t enough, another reason why we feel this is the worst drama is the way Nain has been constantly taunted about being ‘andha’, not once, not twice, repeatedly. The only good thing about this drama is the fact that Nain is shown to be a confident, self-assured and independent man but people around him are mentally impaired, that is why they constantly remind him of the fact that he can not see. Sanam Jung shows clear signs of good-actor-turned-host-turned-bad-actor because her caterwauling and screeching sort of cries and dialogue delivery is nothing less than a pain to endure. Affan Waheed tried to experiment by opting for a negative character but he should stick to the Do Bol kind of characters because he can do justice to them.

Thora Sa Haq

Writer: Adeel Razzaq
Director: Ahmed Bhatti
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Imran Abbas, Ayeza Khan, Mashal Khan, Firdous Jamal, Saba Faisal, Nida Mumtaz, Behroz Sabzwari and others.

If you are confused whether you are rewatching Koi Chand Rakh, you’re not alone. Thora Sa Haq has striking similarities with Koi Chand Rakh. Ayeza Khan Imran Abbas pair being one. Imran Abbas getting married to someone because his father made a promise being the second. His unwanted wife is the best woman to have walked the face of the earth being third. Currently, his second wife in Thora Sa Haq has not gone the evil route like the one in Koi Chand Rakh did, but you never know what the future holds because her mother definitely has those germs. It is amusing seeing an actor of Imran Abbas’s stature opting for majboor becharay roles, where he can not fend for himself and ends up being a victim of forced marriages. Ayeza Khan must have signed Thora Sa Haq immediately after Mere Pass Tum Ho, to soften her image in the eyes of her viewers because in every episode, she gets slapped casually, like it is her dose of antibiotics. It is also amusing that Zamin being the culprit has not been held responsible. Zamin tried to make things right just before he was about to say Qabool Hai the second time, but then his second wife to be went ahead with the marriage only to later tell her mother to shift her back to her room! RIP Logic. Oh, just when you thought you’ve cringed enough, there’s this character of Hareem’s cousin who has absolutely no life of his own. He only keeps tabs on Zamin and records the time when Zamin goes to Seher’s room past midnight. This unwanted cousin wants to get married to Seher but has been bhai-zoned a million times, but still fails to get the hint. As if his character wasn’t bad, his makeup is worst. Imran Abbas is guilty of worst makeup yet again in Thora Sa Haq.

Deewar e Shab

Writer: Aliya Bukhari
Director: Iqbal Hussain
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Bushra Ansari, Sarah Khan, Asma Abbas, Nausheen Shah, Shehzaad Sheikh, Shehroz Sabzwari, Zainab Qayyum, Zara Noor Abbas, Ayesha Toor, Saleem Mairaj, Kinza Hashmi and a lot of others.

This was one such drama which started on a good and different note. It had a lot of tracks and we thought we were signing up for an interesting drama but they didn’t fail to disappoint us immediately. The story of this drama fails to move forward. Sitara Begum’s family is struggling to make ends meet and it continues to be that way. Nagina fails to age and has been a background dancer in the movies all her life. Gaitiara’s character played by Sarah Khan has no purpose whatsoever, other than looking pretty and wearing heavy makeup and clothes. Dildar Begum and his daughters continue to plot against Sitara Begum’s family but no one confronts them – Nagina does but doesn’t make any different. Islam and Izhar ended up being brothers from different mothers, probably after the 20th episode passed. Khayyam’s character has shown zero growth and development, even after he has left his grandmother’s place and is fending for himself. Zoya mourns her breakup but there’s absolutely nothing that the viewers feel for her. This drama is a hot mess. As if it wasn’t enough, it is so obvious that they have now started introducing more and more characters to drag it further – as if people were crazy about this drama and didn’t want it to end. 30 episodes of Deewar e Shab have gone on air and we are still wondering what the purpose of this baseless drama is?

Dar Khuda Se

Writer: Sarwat Nazeer
Director: Anjum Shehzaad
Channel: Geo Entertainment
Cast: Imran Abbas, Sana Javed, Kiran Haq, Qavi Khan, Sajida Syed, Ali Ansari and others.

It is unfortunate that a drama which has been written by Sarwat Nazeer ends up in this list due to poor execution and slower-than-a-turtle pace. The story of Dar Khuda Se is moving around in circles and fails to move forward. It highlighted the issue of workplace harassment but in the end, the damsel in distress ended up bearing all the laan taans and tanas because no one chose to believe her version of the story. She got blackmailed with the photoshopped images and the harasser boss ended up becoming her elder sister’s husband. Imran Abbas has surely acted well in Dar Khuda Se but that’s all there’s to it. Dar Khuda Se has also touched the 30 episode mark proudly but the story doesn’t seem to have any purpose. The set of parents shown in this drama are also cringe worthy who fail to trust their daughters and just treat them as a liability, that too when their two kamaoo-poot sons have more or less disowned them!

5 Worst Dramas On Air Right Now

Kahin Deep Jalay

Writer: Qaisera Hayat
Director: Saima Waseem
Channel: Geo Entertainment
Cast: Imran Ashraf, Neelam Munir, Nazish Jahangir, Ali Abbas, Saba Faisal, Saba Hameed and others.

Heavily inspired by Balaa, Kahin Deep Jalay is all about evil bhabhi who has already exposed her reality on her mother and sister in law but they being too simple minded fail to call a spade a spade. Shameela is full of inferiority complexes and is someone who only sees the negatives in simplest of situations, therefore she twists everything according to her perspective and no one bats an eyelid. Shameela’s mother in law, who also happens to be her khala has more or less understood the kind of game Shameela is playing but she chooses to stay silent, for reasons best known to her. She also saw Shameela igniting a fight between her two younger sons but chose not to clarify the situation. The writer has very much tried to hold Shameela responsible for everything but all those who choose to stay silent to her atrocities are equally in fact more responsible for everything that is happening. Imran Ashraf and Neelam Munir’s track started off on an unrealistically sweet note that it gave us a toothache but we’re still trying to cope. However, Imran Ashraf’s sweet character has turned sour because now the social status difference between him and his wife is making his restless – which was something Zeeshan was totally aware of before he decided to get married to Rida and was having sleepless nights wondering if she will say yes to his proposal. The minminmin Zeeshan does is cringe++, we’re hoping just as much as the drama picks up the pace, he adjusts his playback speed to 1.5 (youtube settings) too.

5 Ways How Mujhay Beta Chahiye Addresses a Critical Social Issue

5 Ways How Mujhay Beta Chahiye Addresses a Critical Social Issue

Directed by Asim Ali and scripted by Abdul Khaliq Khan, Mujhe Beta Chahiye, as the title suggests, revolves around the desire to have a male child. A brilliant and thought-provoking project by Sadia Jabbar Productions, the drama serial stars veteran actors like Shagufta Ejaz, Sabreen Hisbani, Shahood Alvi and Aiza Awan in pivotal roles.

Mujhe Beta Chahyeh

Here are 5 ways how Mujhay Beta Chahiye addresses such a critical and prevalent issue of gender discrimination that leads to the destruction of lives and marriages:

1. It shows how much gender discrimination is still prevalent in our society

It cannot be denied that gender discrimination is a widespread human rights issue in Pakistan that is badly affecting a large number of women in the country. Mujhay Beta Chahiye also highlights this issue and depicts how educated people like Salman, played by Shahood Alvi, also sometimes have this mindset where they consider the birth of a baby boy as something to feel lucky about in contrast to that of a baby girl.

2. It demonstrates to what extent, moral or immoral, men can go to for a son

Salman, in his desire to have a male child, neglects his daughters and family and makes advances towards another girl. He does not care about his newborn daughter who is sick and needs immediate medical attention, nor does he feel any remorse or grief when the baby dies due to his negligence.

Mujhe Beta Chahyeh1

3. It portrays a regressive mentality where people are ready to take advantage of other people’s weaknesses

Jahan Ara leaves no chance at gaining Salman’s attention as soon as she sees him distancing himself from his wife after the birth of their third daughter. She promises him a male child if he decides to choose her, even though none of it can be in her hands. It is a reality of our society where it’s not just the mindset of the couple that breaks up marriages, but the rest of the society also leaves no stone unturned in causing more problems for their own benefit.

Mujhe Beta Chahyeh2

4. It depicts how women who give birth to daughters are looked down upon

Another aspect it shows is that women who give birth to daughters are belittled, while those who provide a male child are given more honor and status. Salman and Rubina were a happy and loving couple, but after the birth of their third daughter, Salman misses no chance at insulting her, even in public.

Mujhe Beta Chahyeh3

5. It highlights how helpless a woman can be in such situations

Salman is shown to be neglecting his daughters, scolding and beating them every now and then. He even asks Rubina to stop sending them to school, since they will only ruin some other person’s life the way she has ruined his life. Salman’s behavior clearly brings insult and disgrace to Rubina, yet she is helpless in this matter and has no idea where to go or what to do to solve her issues. She has got three daughters that she needs to take care of, and for their sake she continues to tolerate the disgrace she’s being subjected to.

To conclude, Mujhay Beta Chahiye talks about an important and critical issue that many women in our society face. Although we see females progressing in all fields of work, yet a lot of people are biased towards the male gender when it comes to their offspring. The dialogues, the acting, and the script – everything has been on point to highlight this prevalent issue. Let’s see what Sadia Jabbar Productions has in store for us for the future episodes.

5 Times Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida Went Over the Top

5 Times Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida Went Over the Top

Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida is getting popular acclaim even though it is a blatant copy of the Bollywood film Judai. By airing dramas such as Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida and Zebaish, HUM has started a new trend of dramas which are over the top and at times ridiculous. Pakistani dramas are known worldwide because of their realistic approach. There are many viewers from across the borders who appreciate this quality because their local dramas are known for going overboard. Unfortunately, Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida is turning out to be a serial which isn’t a comedy play but there are so many scenarios which make it impossible for the viewers to relate to whatever is going on. While such over the top and unrealistic scenarios might work on the big screen, they are uncalled for when the producers are tackling with a rather serious issue on the small screen.

The story of the drama revolves around an immature woman Ulfat who dreams of being rich. She is materialistic and apparently would do anything to get the wealth she wants. The character is a lot like Mehwish from Mere Pass Tum Ho but the big exception is that while Mere Pass Tum Ho gave a serious treatment to the topic; Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida’s take on the subject is outrageous. There are so many times when the story and the scenarios make no sense whatsoever. Although, those viewers who are watching the show know by now that they should not expect anything extraordinary from this drama but even then the lack of common sense while writing and directing the play is baffling. The drama is getting more obnoxious with every passing episode. If it was promoted as a comedy drama perhaps viewers would have been more welcoming of the  idiosyncrasies.

Here are 5 times when Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida went completely over the top.

Shafaq’s Superpowers

All the scenarios which led Shafaaq to fall for Shahan proved one thing that Shafaq is really desperate for love. She found Shahaan cute and attractive for no obvious reason since there is nothing cute about a grown up man acting like a tween. Not only is Shafaq desperate for love and in need of an adventure but she also has superpowers. Somehow she knew that the prize bond she was giving Ulfat had the winning number on it. Anyone who is familiar with how prize bonds work would agree that no one can know something like this beforehand.

Ulfat and Her Friends on the Nikkah

Sonya Hussyn and the director have given Ulfat’s character such an exaggerated spin that almost all of the scenes in which Ulfat is excited are over the top. The nikkah scene in particular did not look like a scene from a Pakistani drama. Ulfat’s entry with Shafaq and the expressions of her friends during the nikkah were exaggerated to the extent of being annoying.

The Change in Shafaq

Everyone who is watching this drama knows that Shafaq falling for Shahaan was the most illogical part of the story. Even if we somehow believe that Shafaq was so desperate for love that she fell for a married man, the change in Shafaq after marriage has been overdone just like everything else. She chose to do the chores instead of hiring a maid with all the money she has. All of a sudden Shafaq is not just another a ordinary homemaker but someone who can do cleaning and cooking. Not only this her styling and dressing sense went out of the window as soon as she married Shahaan. Unless looking exactly like Ulfat was part of her plan too, Shafaq’s newfound lack of fashion sense is unexplainable.

Ulfat’s Celebrations after Winning the Lottery

Since there is no basic concept of timeline or reality in the drama, after winning the lottery, the over the top celebrations were in process within minutes. The way these celebrations were covered was unbelievable. Everything from Ulfat’s entry to the change in her personality was beyond ridiculous. Forever clueless Shahaan had no idea what was going on even though such celebrations would normally require a lot of labor and time!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkKoRpc9_O0&t=23m19s

As if this was not enough Ulfat bought a house and a car like someone else would shop for clothes. When she left the showroom in her new car, she did not only have a driver too but also a guard with a gun in the back!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl2AQL8-bZU&t=4m51s

When Ulfat moved into her new house, her mother-in-law commented that all the servants in the house were going to do the chores. So, we are guessing that just like she got a driver and a guard free with the car, she must have been given house help too when she bought the house!

The Change in Ulfat after Getting Rich

Ulfat’s sense of style and the way she speaks English is not only over the top but highly unbelievable. It seems like Ulfat changed personalities with Shafaq. Although there are many times when her real personality takes over the fake one but even then the fake personality is nowhere close to reality.

It remains to be seen now that how long Ulfat will continue spending the money she has. If the director and the writer continue to be as illogical with their approach as they have been so far then it will probably last her a long time! We are pretty sure that we will be seeing many more illogical and over the top situations and scenes in the upcoming episodes too. If the makers wanted to give a comic spin to the show, they should have chosen another theme. The theme revolving around a woman selling her husband might have worked for cinema in 1997 but this is 2020 when actresses who call themselves die-hard feminists should not even choose to be part of such projects. And then there is Zahid Ahmed who repeatedly plays the lead role in substandard dramas and then apologizes for the error in judgment. It is sad to see our top actors settling for such projects.

Do you find Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida illogical and over the top? Share your views.

This gave rise to a lot of criticism as well. Many people thought that the drama was giving the wrong message.

5 Times Humayun Saeed Made Viewers Cry In Mere Pass Tum Ho

Humayun Saeed’s outstanding performance in Mere Pass Tum Ho has left the viewers in awe of him. Although usually in dramas, the heroines make the viewers feel for them. In Mere Pass Tum Ho the situation is completely opposite. Humayun Saeed’s character Danish goes through hell after his wife betrays him. The character has been written in such a way that viewers feel for him. Humayun Saeed’s acting is so apt that there have been many times when the viewers have cried with him. He always makes the viewers feel everything Danish is going through. This is the real success of an actor when viewers feel the pain he is trying to enact on screen. Humayun Saeed has a vast career therefore making his mark after giving so many amazing performances is no easy feat. One of the biggest reasons for this is that the script of Mere Pass Tum Ho is really close to his heart. He lived this character off screen while reading the script before portraying it on screen. This has made all the difference. When Danish cries, viewers cry with him. His helplessness makes the viewers root for him.

5 Times Humayun Saeed Made Viewers Cry In Mere Pass Tum Ho

Here are 5 Times when Humayun Saeed made the viewers cry in Mere Pass Tum Ho.

First Shock

The scene after Danish picks Mehwish up from the airport after finding out that she had gone to Islamabad was a powerful scene which became even more emotional because of Humayun Saeed’s superb performance. This was a shock for Danish, who trusted Mehwish completely. The way Danish blamed himself while Humayun Saeed’s expressions clearly showed he was in pain and in denial was the best part of this scene. Through this scene Humayun Saeed proved that sometimes expressions speak louder than dialogues. Whatever Danish said was not supported by his expressions. The viewers could feel Danish’s pain and the credit for that goes to Humayun Saeed.

The Bitter Reality Check

Humayun Saeed has played the role of larger than life hero in many of his recent projects. In order to make Danish’s character look human-like on screen Humayun Saeed had to give this performance his best and he did just that. Even the director Nadeem Baig wasn’t sure if Humayun Saeed would be able to deliver. But then viewers saw how easily he let go of the hero avatar and played the helpless male protagonist with utmost clarity. This conversation between Shehwar and Danish is unforgettable for all those viewers who have been watching Mere Pass Tum Ho. The flushed look on Humayun Saeed’s face, his dry lips and his body language in this scene made the viewers cry with him. Everyone who watched this episode felt Danish’s pain. It was best acting by both these actors which made this scene memorable. This was also the most emotional scene of Mere Pass Tum Ho.

One Last Try

Before letting Mehwish go Danish tries to perhaps make her realize that his life won’t sail smoothly after she left. Humayun Saeed made the most of yet another scene which showed just how clueless Danish was. These simple questions were asked in the most innocent way. Humayun Saeed nailed the expressions in this scene. He sounded casual but his expressions told a different story.

The Final Goodbye

Humayun Saeed’s acting was at its best in episode 12 of Mere Pass Tum Ho. This was the episode in which Danish decides that he needs to let Mehwish go. Humayun Saeed breathed such tangible life into these scenes that every single expression showed the pain his character was going through. His body language in this scene when Mehwish leaves with Shehwar is amazing. Those tears look real and the pain even more so. He drags himself to the bed to lay down beside Rumi as if there is no life left in him. Humayun Saeed was showered with praise after his performance in this particular episode. Even those viewers who did not feel for Danish until this point, cried with him. This scene is one of the most iconic thanks to Humayun Saeed’s brilliant acting.

The Helplessness

Mehwish apologized in episode 19 of Mere Pass Tum Ho by calling Danish and telling him that she wanted him to take her back. This conversation between Mehwish and Danish after such a long time was made even more intense because of Danish’s dialogues and Humayun Saeed’s acting. He made sure that every single dialogue was delivered in such a way that it showed his characters true feelings. Danish’s helplessness and seeing how he still remembered everything as if it was yesterday made the viewers cry. Humayun Saeed did a remarkable job here.

Which scenes covering Danish’s pain made you cry? Isn’t it amazing how someone with a personality like that of Humayun Saeed portrayed such a character so flawlessly on screen. Were you expecting Humayun Saeed to do this well? We feel that no other actor could have played this role better than Humayun. This has to be the best role of his entire career. What do you think?
