0

The Ranch is an American streaming television sitcom which debuted in 2016 on Netflix and ran for four seasons. It has 80 episodes total and ran from 2016 to 2020. The Ranch was particularly liked by the viewers and critics because of its characterizations and solid performances. Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson were seen on the screen together once again after the That ’70s Show in this series. The show is set in a fictional place Iron River Ranch and it centers around the life of the Bennetts. Most of the critics concluded that the sitcom overall was good for casual watching. There were also those who thought that the jokes fell flat most of the time and the series didn’t have anything new to offer. It was however really popular among the masses.

What sets The Ranch apart from other Netflix series is the fact that it was filmed in front of a studio audience. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly Ashton Kutcher shared that the first priority for the makers of The Ranch was to set the show in “small-town America. It’s the middle of the country, the heartland … yet nobody makes content for them, I don’t think the success of Duck Dynasty was an accident. I think that show was successful because it spoke to a specific audience that can relate to that life.”

Here are some interesting facts about the Ranch cast members and recent pictures of them from 2020.

The Quintessential Male of Pakistani Dramas

0

Our dramas usually focus on the lives of women and the female lead plays the central character. The stories are usually about her journey and transitions. It comes as no surprise since women make up the largest segment of the audience. But to better understand the female lead and her transitions, we need to understand the man in her life- rather the male lead.

Vintage-The-Perfect-Man-1914

Here’s a look at what comprises the quintessential man in our dramas:

  • He will promise her the world while he’s courting her but once she becomes his wife, he constantly reminds her that his mother is the most important woman in his life and if she were to ever (God Forbid) disobey her, he wouldn’t hesitate to leave her.
  • If his wife argues with him and/ or has issues with his mother (who, by the way, treats her like a slave), she deserves a slap.
  • If the slap(s) don’t make her shut up, he must divorce her by instantly pronouncing Talaaq three times in a single breath.
  • If his mother (who abhors his wife) accuses her of being unfaithful, he readily throws her stuff in a bag and kicks her out in the middle of the night.
  • If his marriage is going through turbulent times while his wife is expecting, it must mean that she was unfaithful and the child belongs to another man!
  • If another woman expresses an interest in him, he gets easily swayed.
  • When confronted about the other woman, he gives his wife an ultimatum- she can either remain married to him and keep his name (but will definitely have to leave the house) OR she can carry the label of a divorcee for the rest of her god-forsaken life.
  • His wife is not allowed to step out of her house except with the consent of his mother.
  • Its okay for him to flirt with his classmates, his secretary, his cousin, his neighbour but his wife cannot talk to any of her male cousins after getting married since that will reinstate his belief that she is guilty of having an affair.
  • He expects his wife to wake up before he does so she can prepare his breakfast, have his clothes ready and see him off. However, if she calls him during the day, he has every right to get annoyed since how could she be stupid enough to interrupt his day?
  • He keeps reminding his wife that she is lucky to have been married to someone like him!

How many more can you add to the list? I’d love to hear your take. P.S This article is a satirical take on the male lead and is not intended to offend any actor in particular.

The Quintessential Female of Pakistani Dramas

0

As a follow up to my earlier article about the quintessential man in our dramas, (Read article here: https://reviewit.pk/the-quintessential-male-of-pakistani-dramas/), let’s take a closer look at our female lead. Since most of our dramas are women-centric, it’s only fitting that we list out some of those unique qualities that distinguish them from others.

th

Here’s a look at what comprises the quintessential woman in our dramas:

  • She believes her husband will live up to every promise he has ever made while courting her.
  • She puts up with her mother-in-law’s unfair treatment towards her and continues to try her utmost to please her by getting up early, taking care of her tea-making duties, scraping and scrubbing without a single “uff”. It doesn’t matter that her mother-in-law continues voicing her contempt, she’s after the “Bahu of the Year Award”.
  • When her husband slaps her, she keeps her silence since how could she possibly tell her parents how her husband really is.
  • When her mother-in-law accuses her of having an affair, she cries her lungs out and would even drop to her knees and beg her mother-in-law to believe in her piety.
  • When her husband questions her about the father of her baby, she suddenly turns silent and her only response is “Kya aap mujhe itna gira hua samajhte hein?”
  • When her husband divorces her in a jiffy, she remains distraught for months endlessly and finds it difficult to convince anyone that it wasn’t due to any fault of hers. She loses her self-esteem and wonders what went wrong!
  • She befriends the woman who is after her husband and in-fact, on more occasions than one, trusts her husband blindly enough to leave him alone with the other woman.
  • When her husband takes a second wife, she is ready to accept and forgive him so long as he stays with her.
  • She complies with the unreasonable house-arrest restrictions placed upon her by her mother-in-law.
  • She keeps her silence and doesn’t confide in her husband when another man- be it her husband’s brother or an ex-stalker are pursuing her.
  • She thinks that cooking hearty meals are sufficient to keep her man. She neglects herself completely and is more than content being a housemaid and puts her husband and in-laws first.
  • Her family and friends constantly remind her how lucky she is to be married and she feels truly blessed!

How many more can you add to the list? I’d love to hear your take. P.S This article is a satirical take on the female lead and is not intended to offend any actor in particular.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Eyes can do all the magic when it comes to acting. A single flick of the eye can make or break a scene. Sometimes the impact of a whole scene comes simply with the expessions in the eyes and the audience will be able to relate to the character being potrayed on their screens only if the character smiles and cries through their eyes. We have some highly talented actresses who can make us laugh and cry with them and it is their eyes which bind us to their characters and make some memorable dramas. Though we have a large pool of starlets who always manage to win our hearts, here are a few whose power just cannot be denied:

Sajal Aly:

Sajal Aly is eye expression royalty. From bringing mischievousness to romance and anger to hatred, Sajal Aly knows how to make her eyes talk. Those who have seen it can testify that her character Chammi stood out in Aangan just because she would use her eyes to bring the character to life. The obsessive nature of Sassi that she portrayed in O Rangreza is also a testament to how beautifully she uses her eyes and brings characters from paper to screen like a miracle.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Yumna Zaidi:

If you have seen dar Si Jati Hai Sila, you would know the power Yumna Zaidi’s eyes hold. Even in Tere Bin, the audience could not relate to the change in script at the last moment because Yumna managed to portray the anguish of a victim on screen so precisely. The bewilderment in her eyes was telling a whole other story than we were being shown via dialogues.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Saba Qamar:

The literal queen in making her eyes talk. Saba Qamar’s versatility knows no bounds and she can just make you believe in anything just through the expressions in her eyes. The way she portrayed the pain, anguish and sense of betrayal in her last scene in Baaghi is one such example.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Sonya Hussyn:

Sonya Hussyn is quite underrated with respect to the talent she possesses. The actress nailed mental illness with the confusion she showed in her eyes in Saraab as well as the greed she showed in Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida. She was great in Dadal as well and more is yet to come from her.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Atiqa Odho:

Atiqa Odho has always been known for her beautiful eyes and her power to emote through them. Humsafar fans know that you knew how evil she was just by the way she looked at Khirad, just Ashar was too blind to see it. For those familiar with old PTV gems, a long play Zikar Hai Kai Saal Ka will show you how powerful Atiqa Odho’s eyes are.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Sania Saeed:

The versatile actress knows how to impress, how to portray helplessness and how to inculcate the fear of God in one’s heart with one movement of her eyes. Those who are living under a rock and not familiar with the power she holds need to watch Sang e Mah.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Savera Nadeem:

If you have seen Janjalpura, you will know the innocence she brought to the screens. If you have seen Bari Aapa you will be able to experience fear and pressure just from the way she looks at someone and with Wehem she portrayed intrigue with precision. Her one expression in Mere Paas Tum Ho was enough to take the drama to another level. She needs to work more as her fans are always waiting for her projects.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Ayeza Khan:

As we just spoke about Mere Paas Tum Ho, so how can we forget the greed, hatred and betrayal Ayeza Khan brought on the show. She can be the straight forward Farah of Pyare Afzal, the deceiver Mehwish of Mere Paas Tum Ho and who can forget her mischievousness in Chupke Chupke which took the show to another level. Ayeza is one confident queen of the eyes and she knows it.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Iqra Aziz:

Iqra Aziz is a very gifted actress and she knows how to use her eyes to bring the best of her characters on screen. Yes we know how famous Bhola got but the confidence which Noori exuded made the drama what it was. She also floored everyone with a grey character in Raqeeb Se and Iqra truly knows what she is doing.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Honourable mention for new contenders on the block:

Sabeena Farooq:

The whole world just showed their hatred for how Haya used to look at Meerab and hats off to Sabeena Farooq for pulling it off so seamlessly. Her obsession for Murtasim was visible in her eyes and that made all the impact one needed. She is right now mesmerizing everyone with her Ankhain in Kabli Pulao and she is the one to watch out for. Sabeena Farooq is a great addition to the industry and her potential should be realized.

The Queens Of The Eyes- Actresses Edition

Rabya Kulsoom:

Though a new entrant in the industry, Rabya Kulsoom has been able to catch everyone’s attention. She is so good that she has the ability to make supporting characters memorable in Pakistani dramas where they have nearly no role to play in the long run. She was able to hold her own while working with stars like Saba Qamar and Wahaj Ali and this potential must be nurtured.

There are many people who are arguing what the real issue regarding Geo’s action is. Is it that the manqabat ‘ Ali ke Saath hai Zahra ki Shaadi’ was sung at someone’s wedding. Is it that it was sung on “Veena Malik’s” wedding enactment or the real issue is the way the people on the set were behaving when the manqabat was being sung?

Here is a video of the wedding of a couple who does not come from a very well to do background. Some very respected people of our society like Sarim Burney and his wife are also part of the function. Everyone is sitting respectfully and listening to the manqabat. Now, we want to know what the real issue is because it was the talk show host of ARY Mubashar Lucman who raised the issue in the first place. Mubashar Lucman said in his show that is this manqabat was sung in his own sister’s wedding, it would still be wrong. What is his stance now?

The Promo for Meray Paas Tum Ho’s Last Episode will Wreck Your Heart

The second last episode of the cult classic Meray Paas Tum Ho didn’t give away any hint. In fact the episode didn’t offer anything at all; just showed Mehwish possessing loads and loads of regret.

The Promo for Meray Paas Tum Ho's Last Episode will Wreck Your Heart

However, now, that we have the promo of the last episode, we’re certain, we’ll all have our hearts broken by the end of the episode. The promo of Meray Paas Tum Ho’s last episode dropped only recently and we’re shown Danish speaking the formidable words, “Wahan jaon ga tu mujh se wapas nahi aaya jai ga,” which roughly translates to I won’t be able to come back if I go there.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WfghjJoJG/?igshid=p2xoiodp97ut

Also there is Hania stating that she fears she might lose Danish and Mehwish hinting at something that doesn’t let Danish go back. Moreover we’re shown scenes where Hania, Roomi and Mehwish all seem to be in a hospital following a goodbye from Danish.

The Promo for Meray Paas Tum Ho's Last Episode will Wreck Your Heart

What will happen? Will Khalil ur Rehman Qamar maintain his reputation of no happy endings and kill of Danish in the end? We certainly hope it isn’t that. After the amount of hurt Danish has gone through, this man deserves a happy ending.

The last episode of Meray Paas Tum Ho will air on 25th January, as a double episode from 8pm to 10pm on ARY Digital. Not only that, it is being screened across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad as a special treat for all Meray Paas Tum Ho fans.

The Positives That Make Our Dramas HIT.

0

Lately most of us have discussed about the negativities that are being shown in our dramas & almost all the viewers condemn it, but it’s been a while that we’ve spoken about the positivity & those qualities that make us all fall in love with our dramas. It’s my little effort to recollect the memories & the positive feelings that we have about our dramas & what are exactly those things that make us end up being such a die heart fan of our Pakistani dramas.

I believe taking names of certain dramas would confine the main reason of this article because no matter what it’s an undoubted fact that Pakistani Drama Industry has produced thousands of dramas that are beyond perfection, so mentioning a certain drama wouldn’t help as we’d definitely be leaving a lot of dramas unnoticed plus I am talking about our dramas as a whole because if one drama has a good story the other has good dialogues, so let’s talk about our dramas in general.

1. The very first thing that I feel has always been a pillar in the popularity of Pakistani Dramas is a “SCRIPT”. All this while whenever we talk about even the olden golden dramas of Pakistan or even the new ones I feel those dramas always get a special attention of the viewers because of a good script. Everyone demands a perfect script & those dramas especially who have a good storyline/script no doubt end up being the favourite of the viewers.

2. Second in my list would be the “RELATE-ABLE CHARACTERS”. I feel this is another beauty of our Pakistani dramas especially that we always see the characters which are relate-able & quite original. We don’t have to see the lead actors in over-done make ups & top-notch wardrobes but it’s the originality and simplicity that does wonders & we end up liking any drama because I feel characters play another important role in making a drama connect to the viewers.

3. Third in my list would be “THE DIALOGUES . We have seen so many dramas over the years whose dialogues have always been appreciated because that’s the beauty of our mother tongue Urdu. We definitely haven’t seen hardcore Urdu being used in any of our dramas but it’s the simplicity & the easiness of conveying a certain message that gets clicked to the audience. Even at times such heavy feelings are conveyed with so much ease & smoothness which actually shows the versatility of our language.

4. Fourth in my list would be “THE REALITY” that our dramas are popular in getting across to the viewers. Any good drama that we see is always based on the reality & if not, it’s closer to reality as well. But I feel any drama that gets hit is definitely the one which the viewers see as real & not superficial because while watching a drama viewers tend to get so involved & at times feel pretty much in relation to a certain drama which I feel also plays an important part in the success.

5. Fifth & the last in my list would be “THE CAST”. The viewers are obviously keen to see their favourite actors perform on-screen & I feel that is also another reason of a success of any serial. A good cast definitely plays a vital role. The cast can also be referred to as a a good actor. The responsibility to project the beauty of any character lies solely on how the actors acts it out. If an actor can not act a certain character, he/she ends up spoiling the whole thing related to that particular character & I feel Pakistan has numerous great actors both males & females who have done & have been doing justice to the characters they are assigned with.

So, these are the factors in my list which I feel are the backbone of our dramas getting successful all these years. I hope I was able to point out the major aspects that make our dramas famous. If you all have any other suggestions that you feel play a part towards the success of our dramas, please feel free to share it with us because it’s been a while that we haven’t discussed about the positives & the good things about our dramas. I’d be looking forward to your comments. :)

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

 

The Politics Over Abid Ali’s Death Might Have Ended

Abid Ali’s daughter recently posted a video in which she was crying. She accused Abid’s second wife of hiding his body from his family. Rahma took to Instagram to show her anger over this.

According to Rahma, Abid Ali’s second wife left the hospital without informing her and rest of the family. Rahma accused that Rabia, her step mother, is not allowing them to enter the house.

The latest update is that the video has been taken down because people started commenting ridiculous things.

She wrote:

“We’ve temporarily hidden the post because of the ridiculous things people started saying in the comments. Shame on them.”

It seems like the conflict between both the parties might have ended. More details will be out soon.

The Perfect Formula For Ratings – Works Every Time

Pakistani channels and production houses nowadays focus more on getting TRPs than they do on content. Entertainment after all is a business just like any other but some of the production houses take this business a little too seriously. These are the production houses which are primarily in the business to make money therefore they keep on making dramas which would guarantee massive viewership. They forget they also have a responsibility and focus entirely on making money. There are also those people in the industry who incorporate these tried and tested formulas to make dramas which are more meaningful and offer something bigger. If a certain story or some aspect of the plot attracts the attention of majority of the viewers, it is used as a formula in every other drama.

Following are some of the ingredients which almost always attract the audience, sometimes these ingredients are part of dramas which are overall impressive but many times these ingredients completely take over and are in bad taste!

Ratings Are Directly Proportional To How Majboor The Heroine Is

The victim stance indeed is really powerful especially when it comes to Pakistani dramas. This is a tried and tested formula which always works. Making the viewers feel for the characters is an important part of a writer’s job but there are so many of our writers who go overboard. These writers forget to give their characters a definite personality and rely solely on showing these women as victims. The actresses playing these roles and the production houses heading such projects are extremely certain that the ratings are directly proportional to the amount of tears these heroines shed! Most often, the leading lady is shown suffering right from the beginning and the problems she faces increase over time. The most unconvincing and annoying aspect is when these majbooris are forced. Even when there is a way out, these leading ladies stick to the source of their problems (the man in their life) like glue. Recent examples of such leading ladies are Mannu from Mann Mayal, Azra from Mere Bewafa and Mirha from Ishq Tamasha.

4-14

A Dominating “Good Looking” Male Lead

Lately, we have seen so many such leading men in our “popular” dramas whose flaws were glorified and sadly enough, they had a huge fan following too! Mir Haadi from Khaani, Shahmir from Mere Bewafa and Mehrab from Ishq Tamasha are few such examples. Mehrab’s character was actually turned into one of these sadistic sick-minded unreasonable characters primarily because somehow such men help garner more sympathies for the majboor leading ladies. Mir Hadi was the prime example of a “good looking” male lead with tons of flaws, who was the main attraction in drama serial Khaani. The producers wanted to kill his character but could not do so because he had a massive fan following. Shahvez from Sangat is another such example. These heroes were murders and rapist yet they were shown as victims and got a hero’s ending too.

3-19

Two Women Fighting Over A Man

I am not sure what kind of an adrenaline rush most viewers get out of watching women fight over men but the affect it has on ratings gives the producers even more incentive to make such dramas. The majboor aurat’s majbooris are highlighted even more by making her good-for-nothing man fall in love with her best friend, sister or cousin! The flirtation and the husband’s disloyalty and the sufferings of the first wife are given plenty of screen time. The most ironic bit is that this “man” most often is a shoddy character and such a weakling that you only wonder how two women would be stupid enough to fight over him.

2-24

Men Never Suffer The Way Women Do

Even though a grown up man who is sensible enough to run a business and a house starts an affair and gets married to his wife’s best friend out of his own free will but it is never the man’s fault. The dramas which get the TRPs always show that it is always the fault of the other woman! Somehow most of our producers and writers are convinced that if they make a man suffer as miserably as they make the women suffer then they will lose their viewership. This is the reason why women who cheat always get the worst endings but men who do so are always forgiven. In Mere Bewafa the way Shahmir was forgiven was absurd, In Ishq Tamasha Mehrab literally got away with murder and also got a happy ending and in drama serial Ghar Titli Ka Par the past few episodes have been dedicated solely to convincing the viewers that poor Azar was trapped by wicked Anji.

Negativity To The Rescue

When the viewers start feeling for the heroine, the producers decide to turn the more nuanced character into an all out negative character. The recent example is that of Rushna’s character. In order to make Mirha look like an even bigger bechari than she already was Rushna was turned into an unreasonable negative character who was continuously plotting and planning against Mirha. In Ghar Titli Ka Par Anji’s negativity is the main attraction in the show which is why she gets more screen time than Shafaq does. Although, the producers do all this to get more support for their leading ladies and it obviously works for a lot of people but while doing so they completely ruin the characters and as a result the plot goes haywire.

1-29

Rape Victims, Rapists, Survivors

This is a very serious issue which has been highlighted in an intelligent and responsible manner by many of our drama makers but this issue has unfortunately also been used to get attention and ratings. Chup Raho was one such example in which this issue was used to get attention and not to educate. Even in Aisi Hei Tanhai, the track covering this particular tragedy was stretched to the limit and did not serve a bigger purpose. Sangat was another such drama in which the issue of rape was sensationalized and the rapist was glorified. Many dramas also took inspiration from drama serial Udaari but all of them did not do justice to the topic. This topic has been getting the producers the ratings they want therefore this is one of the main reasons why they keep on making dramas on it.

7_Fotor_Collage

First 10 Episodes Should Be Fast-Paced

Yes! This is the key to success. Most producers who want ratings alone make sure that the first 10 episodes are fast-paced and happening. When they have their loyal viewers’ attention, they slow the pace down, the story almost completely loses direction and the sole purpose of the show is to stretch the story as much as possible. Since the viewers get hooked to these dramas in the first few weeks, they keep on tuning into them out of curiosity and that is how even those viewers who do not like such storylines end up contributing to the viewership.

All the examples given in this article are from dramas which got the highest number of ratings in the past few years. There are however those producers and writers as well who get the ratings and attention of the viewers by making dramas with a strong storyline without using any formulas.

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

0

Ramadan is the month of blessings, a month we all Muslims wait for all over the world. With special arrangements at Sehar and Iftar, Muslims all around the world try to do more and better. We also wait for Ramadan throughout the year and with everything special that comes with this month, there are special Ramadan transmissions which mostly run day and night the whole month. Since their inception, Ramadan transmissions evolved drastically. And in the last few years, many unwanted trends have incorporated themselves in these transmissions. But the bigger surprise came when Ramadan 2018 was very peaceful as far as the usual drama that is incorporated in these shows go. They were peaceful and nice to watch. Here are few things which made this Ramadan more peaceful and easier:

No Aamir Bhai:

The initiation of Ramadan 2018 came with a ban on Aamir Liaquat Hussain. Yes, it was not a full proof ban as Aamir Bhai got the permission to appear on screen later on but nonetheless, it was nothing less of an achievement for the whole country. The way Aamir Liaquat has degraded the essence of Ramadan shows time and time again is not unheard of. With giving out babies to the most famous and I must add gross AAM KHAYEGA AAM, Aamir Liaquat has done everything with the years passing which should not really be done. This year too he created a lot of fuss with making the scholars fight over issues related to sectarianism and then walked out of the live show. So, yes, Aamir Bhai’s less appearance was indeed something which made our Ramadan more peaceful.

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

Very Put Together Hosts:

Controversies and hosting have run hand to hand many times in the past. Take Aamir Liaquat again as an example and also Hamza Ali Abbasi. When a host does not know how to control the topics being discussed or where the guests are going with their opinions, things can get complicated. The other times no one usually wants to see someone with a controversial past suddenly taking hijaab and start hosting a Ramadan transmission. This year all these mistakes seemed really at bay as the hosts of nearly all the transmissions behaved very responsibly and kept the environment controlled and serene, a must for transmissions related to Ramadan.

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

The Stop On Circus By The Court:

I cannot even relate to how it happened but somehow all our channels from the big giants to small ones that most people do not even get on their cables ended up with gift shows. People were fighting with the hosts, dancing and doing ridiculous activities to get bikes and washing machines. Many times such segments were a part of the actual transmissions. This year we only had Fahad Mustafa’s Jeeto Pakistan that got people to watch it. Otherwise similar stuff which was a part of the Ramadan transmissions were chopped off. This was undoubtedly another relief after watching people fight over motorcycles on every second channel. Even a little peace is good peace, right?

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

No Fuzool Controversies:

Like our every other show, Ramadan shows also have had a way of connecting controversies with their other content. With Amjad Sabri’s distant nieces and his own family fighting over for the Sabri legacy in a live show to forcefully feeding mangoes to the audience and yes, many times comments by guests or the hosts which somehow hurt someone’s sentiments. Who can forget the epic Sahir Lodhi patriotic meltdown which also occurred in a Ramadan transmission? This year, however, was very safe as not many of that stuff was seen happening on Pakistani television except the Fahd Mustafa episode where he insulted a girl which occurred in the very end. The lack of controversies also helps to keep people’s minds on good things.

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

Airing Of Azan:

An order by the court made it obligatory for the channels to air Azan five times a day and it was actually a very beautiful development when all the channels were airing Azan amidst all the planned shows and advertisements. It was a true old-school PTV experience.

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

A Good Drama:

Yes, it is a bit out of the context but for some years the special dramas made to be aired during Ramadan are so non-sensical and stupid that you cannot even understand how people come up with those stories. But this year HUM TV broke the dormancy with Suno Chanda which people enjoyed watching throughout the month.

The Peace Of Ramadan 2018!

All in all Ramadan 2018 brought a big improvement in Pakistani television content. What do you think could be done to improve the situation more? Share in comments!

The Pakistani Morning Shows

0

 Pakistan is a country which is going through a lot of crisis. The increasing crime rate and terrorist activities have made it difficult for people to enjoy their lives. In such a situation people need some sort of entertainment. Previously it felt really relaxing to see meaningful Pakistani morning shows while relaxing in a comfortable chair with a big mug of coffee but these days the trend of morning shows has changed. The only focus of these shows nowadays is on the host’s dressing and jewellery. Not only the host but also the guests are only displaying the work of different designers by becoming a decoration piece.

Good-morning-show-wedding-week
There are a huge number of housewives watching these Pakistani morning shows and to be honest there is nothing meaningful shown to them. All they get to see is the wedding arrangement, the bride and groom and the singing and dancing. In my opinion these shows must focus on the awareness programs. As the large audience is of the women who stay at home, these shows must tell them ways to become a better wife and an excellent mother. The concept of a morning show is completely disturbed these days. Apart from these wedding ceremonies in the shows, they focus of adult and vulgar issues. This has not only made it difficult to watch these shows with families but also it has had a huge negative impact on the minds of the audience.

maya

The issue of marital conflicts is a huge focus of these shows. Every other day they invite a woman who is tired of bearing the brutal behaviour of her husband and they let everyone know their story. What is the benefit of all this? Absolutely nothing. These issues not only brain wash the audience but they also create a feeling of depression among them. According to me, Pakistani morning shows must be focusing on the talent of the youth, compatibility of the couples, ways to lead a better life, tips to remain active and confident. These shows must act as a grooming tool for the audience. They should provide platforms to the girls who want to start a career.

nadia-khan

One of the Pakistani morning shows was the Nadia khan show. That show had different segments like; health, beauty, fitness and much more. That show as compared to the shows these days was very meaningful. It was not a time waste. She used to invite celebrities and discuss their secrets of becoming famous, she used to invite doctors and ask them about different health related problems of women and she also used to invite dress designers and make up artists to give tips to the women at home. Its not that this doesn’t happen nowadays but this is a minor portion of the three hour transmission of these Pakistani morning shows.

 As I mentioned in my previous article that Pakistani people are very emotional they get carried away with whatever is shown. This is what the Pakistani morning shows take advantage of. They invite troubled and depressed people, show their sad stories, and cry a bit and our audience gets carried away which as a result increases the ratings of the show. Our audience should also give suggestions as messages in these shows so that get to know what we demand. It’s a matter of three precious hours each day. In a month they become 90 hours and in a year 1080 hours. Only watching a useless morning show every single day wastes your 1080 hours in a year. Another major focus of these shows these days is on competing with each other. One show arranges a wedding; the other also arranges the same wedding next week. In the same way one show call a fake peer, the other show does the same act the next week. This is what the shows are all about these days.

These shows must also invite talented young students in their shows once in a week or twice so that they can have a platform to show their talent. There are millions of talented youngsters out there; some are creative, some are good singers, some write well and some are all rounders. All they need is a platform. Pakistani morning shows should arrange spelling contests, quizzes and activities for the youth so that they can have somewhere to look up to. Many youngsters idealize different celebrities and they dream to meet them. The morning shows should arrange contests and the winners should be given a chance to meet their favourite celebrities and become like them. This is what a morning show should be like. Only wearing colourful dresses and gossiping not only creates a negative impact but it also wastes a whole three hours of the audience.

The Pakistani Media Women of Talent!

0

The women working in the Entertainment industry of Pakistan have got some real talent and serious potential. It definitely isn’t a piece of cake to work in an industry where you are always at the risk of open and often criticism. According to my personal opinion, it’s the women, who are mostly getting criticized in the social media (particularly Facebook) either for their acting skills or their dressing (Meera, Veena, Mathira and few others are especially on the hit list for that matter). Hence today, I decided to talk about those ladies who really stood out in their respective fields, worked hard, achieved something appreciable and really made us proud.

 

 

Mehreen Syed

Mehreen-Syed-Best-Brilliant-Red-Bridal-Make-Over-Photoshoot-2012_6

The first ever Pakistani model to have appeared on the cover of Almara, Mehreen Syed is a wonderful multidimensional personality. Her earlier fame comes from her tremendous modeling career. Mehreen represented Pakistan in many international fashion events and magazines including Vogue and Time. For her modeling career, she has bagged many awards including the “International Model of the Year” and “Face of the Year” awards.

Other than being a spokesperson and brand ambassador for many international brands, Mehreen Syed has broaden her horizon and came up with her own fashion academy IFAP in Lahore, for which, till date I heard nothing but pretty impressive reviews. Not only that, but earlier this year, Mehreen came up with her own blog that incorporates fashion and beauty talk in a desi way. Mehreen Syed – the model, the business women, the wife and now a mother is definitely an inspiration for those who plan to come to this field.

Mehreen Jabbar

With the magnificently successful names like Ramchand Pakistani, Doraha, Daam, Malal and Vasl, Mehreen Jabbar really doesn’t need a formal introduction. Hailing from the city of sea and cool breeze Karachi, Mehreen Jabbar belives in perfection and leaving no loopholes. Her first movie as a director, Ramchand Pakistani won the People’s Choice Award in the Fribourg International Film Festival, Switzerland in a time when Pakistan’s film industry was crippling. Here is a list of awards and nomination that I found on her official website, makes me so proud of her being a Pakistani woman.

  • Audience Award for Ramchand Pakistani, Fribourg Film Festival, Switzerland.
  • Honourable Mention for Ramchand Pakistani, Fribourg Film Festival, Switzerland
    E-Changer Award for Ramchand Pakistani, Fribourg Film Festival, Switzerland. – 2009
  • FIPRESCI Prize for Ramchand Pakistani by the International Federation of Film Critics.
  • Honourable Mention for Ramchand Pakistani by the 13th Annual Satyajit Ray Award at the London Film Festival. – 2008
  • Global Film Initiative Grant for Ramchand Pakistani. – 2006
  • Best Director for TV series Harjaee (The Unfaithful), Indus Drama Awards. – 2004
  • Young Achiever’s Award, IndusVision Channel
  • Nominated for Best TV Series for Aur Zindagi Badalti Hai (And Life Changes), Lux Style Awards
  • Best Director and Best Film for Daughters of the Late Colonel, KaraFilm Festival, Pakistan
  • Best Series Award for Aik Mohabath Sau Afsaney (One love, 100 Stories) Pakistan Television Network

Aamina Sheikh

Aamina Sheikh is one of those distinct female celebs for whom I, personally have noticed a lot of hatred and negativity spreading on social media, people just doesn’t find it necessary to think twice before bashing someone’s natural complexion, body shape, postures and dressing for that matter, sadly. I really have to say that she is one of those marvelous dusky beauties we have ever had in Pakistan, and she really knows how to do her job well. Lately, she had been receiving great international exposure and fame for her acting ventures; it was nice seeing news about a Pakistani female film artist in international electronic and print media other than Meera and Veena.

amina-shiekh

In addition to Lux Style Awards for her serials Dil-e-Nadan, Agar Tum Na Hote and her modeling projects, Aamina Sheikh won the Best Performance by an Actress Award in SAARC Film Festival Awards for her movie Seedlings, and for the same movie, she was awarded at New York Film Festival as well.

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, the first ever person to bring an Oscar to home, Pakistan for her venture Saving Face is a proud daughter, a loving wife and a caring mother. I really like the way she dedicated her huge success to the two men (father & husband) in her life, for behind the success of a confident, successful lady, there has to be a fair share of the courage and confidence that males of her family inculcated in her. In 2012, Sharmeen made it to the list of 100 most influential people of the world, I managed to take a list of her other awards and honours from her official website, take a look below. Sharmeen, definitely made all her fellow Pakistanis proud.

The Pakistani Celebrities Working Out During Lockdown

Celebrities in any country are closely followed by their fans. All the things they do inspire their fan following especially when the celebrities choose to promote something even more passionately. The entire world came to a halt due to Covid-19 and the Pakistani celebrities also started observing the self-isolation during the government imposed lockdown. This is when all the celebrities started building their relationships with the fans even more and started showing bits and bobs of their lives which they felt passionately about.

Some celebrities decided to share recipes, others started being regular in having chit chats with their fans, however, there were also some who felt this wasn’t the time to cave in and just give up on their fitness routines that they have worked so hard for over the years. Fitness, a healthy diet and workouts are all a part of any celebrity’s life because they understand that in order to look at their absolute best, a lot of hard work has to go into their daily routine.

During this time, a lot of celebrities came forward and started sharing their fitness workout sessions, some of the things they do and the basic exercises that anyone could do at home. It slowly started over live sessions where the fitness instructors of different celebrities also got involved and everything that they were teaching to their celebrity clients were now available on social media for people to follow and get motivated. This was another good thing which emerged as a result during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Here are the celebrities who are motivating people with their workout sessions during the lockdown:

She has been constantly sharing her workouts, sometimes when she is alone or at times when her kids are a part too. She continues to show that despite being locked inside your homes, finding an excuse from staying on track is not an option.

The Outcome of SoundClash Ali Azmat Vs Umair Jaswal

0

The concert promotion and videos created a boom already. There was a huge crowd that gathered for attending the clash between the two rock stars Ali Azmat and Umair Jaswal.
Before the two rock stars came on stage, it was DJ Fisal that rocked the crowd with his excellent beats. When the two entertainers appeared on the stage the crows welcomed them with roaring cheers. To all the hype Ahmed Ali Butt was a great addition.

Ali band included Omran Shafique, Kamran ‘Mannu’ Zafar and Gumby. While Umair’s band included Coke Studio in-house drummer Aahad Nayani, along with Ali Suhail, Amir Azhar and Haider Ali.

Before the clash was announced both the singers sang there songs and entertained the crowd. Ali had got his crowd in the corner where as Umair was able to get his targeted crowd when Umair sang Sammi Meri Waar. This song of Umair really changed the game and then audience started singing with him.

Then Ali sing Aaroh’s Raag Neela, while Umair sang Babiya. For round two, which was titled as “The Takeover’, in which the two bands played a single song together. “Mera Maahi” was the track that Ali started with, while Umair took over in the middle but was not that impactful. The second round proved that Ali Azmat is a better live performer. In the third round the singers played different genres.

In the mega finale the two singers brought guest of their own choice. Ali clearly had an edge over Umair and brought Mekaal Hasan as a guest and sang Garaj Baras. This song proved to be the final blow for Umair. Umair invited the talented Faraz Anwar for one final performance. Almost in the end of the show Ali gave everyone a surprise by inviting Umair on the stage and hugged him.

Over all the concert was a big hit the only thing compromised was that the venue was small in comparison to the crowd and sound system could have been better.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

There is no denying the fact that the Pakistani drama industry is filled with talented actors and actresses. However, it is also a truth that not every single actor can become a lead actor or a protagonist with the story revolving around them. Therefore, in this case, such actors are required to fill in the gaps and act as missing pieces of the puzzle. In simple words, these actors serve the purpose of being ‘the others’ in an equation in every other drama.

It won’t be wrong to say that all these actors have worked hard and due to the consistency have earned the kind of fame where people do recognize them for their acting skills and screen presence. However, all these actors have one thing in common which is them never being the first preference of the lead hero or heroines. In almost every other drama, these actors are seen as being rejected or pushed back because someone better or more capable comes into the picture. In many dramas, all these actors may start off as the first love interest of the protagonist but the circumstances are never in their favor and they end up being the third person, the unwanted one, the one suffering with unrequited love in a love triangle. It is interesting to note that these are a handful of actors and actresses who are assigned more or less similar kinds of roles where they are never the ones who win at love in the end or in the beginning, are never really the first choice.

Here is the list of the actors who are seen as ‘the others’ in the Pakistani dramas:

[lwptoc]

Mashal Khan

Mashal Khan is comparatively a fresh face and has a few dramas to her credit but right from the beginning, she has kind of stamped it on her that she is pretty comfortable with the idea of being a thrid-wheeler in an equation. In almost all the dramas that she has been a part of, she always ended up being the other one in the picture with the hero not being over the moon with his association with her. In the drama serial Mere Humdum, she was Gohar Mumtaz’s love interest but easily got rejected by him because his parents wanted him to marry someone else. Although she did come back but ended up leaving because she was the other one in the picture.

In the drama serial Thora Sa Haq, as much as she tried to win her love interest over, she lost him easily. In the currently on-air drama serial Dulhan, Mashal Khan is playing the exact same role as she did in Thora Sa Haq where she has conveniently gotten married to a guy who finds his relationship with her burdensome. It would definitely be interesting to see if she ever bags a role where she is the one and only for a protagonist and he doesn’t reject her because of someone else.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Hina Altaf

Hina Altaf has played so many of these characters that we have lost count of how many times she was rejected because of someone else. Hina Altaf usually gets sidelined when she plays negative characters and even after putting in so much of an effort, she fails to make her Mr. Right cling onto her. In her recently ended drama serial Bandhay Ek Dor Se, Hina Altaf played the role of the other where she started off as lady love of Omar, the protagonist but because Omar fell in love with Mahi and ended up finding out the truth about Roshni, the character played by Hina Altaf, he literally pushed her out of his life. It is nothing short of a burden seeing Hina Altaf playing such roles repeatedly, but then it is not her fault that she is offered these roles in abundance because she really can not pull in the viewership as a lead actor.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Ali Ansari

Ali Ansari is another actor who has been consistent with his work, this is why at on average he is seen on almost all the channels throughout the year. Ali Ansari is also one of those actors who fit the role of a supporting other perfectly. Many times he starts off as being the very first love of the leading lady but gets pushed away so bad that the girl who once loved him doesn’t even remember his name. In the drama serial Muqaddar, Raima loved Haris so much but after her forceful and torturous marriage to Saif ur Rehman, she conveniently forgot about him. In the currently on-air drama Kasa e Dil, he has been freshly rejected by Somya because she understands that his mother doesn’t like her and doesn’t want Hatim to get married to Somya. Another day, another drama, another ‘other’ character played by Ali Ansari.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Saboor Aly

It won’t be wrong to say that Saboor Aly’s career has finally taken off because of her on-going drama serial Fitrat. Before that Saboor Aly has always played smaller and side characters in every other drama with her also never being the first choice of the lead hero. In the drama serial Visaal, she turned against her best friend only to ruin the chances she had of getting married. She manipulatively gets married to Akram but he fails to give her the status and respect that she as his wife deserves. Saboor Aly has done more or less similar kinds of characters and in her upcoming project with Imran Abbas and Urwa Hocane, it won’t be wrong to assume that she will be the third person in the equation maybe!

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Zubab Rana

Zubab Rana may always play the girl-next-door, miss-goody-two-shoes kind of characters but even after having so many positive traits, she is never the first choice of the leading male characters in her dramas. In the drama serial Rishtay Biktay Hain, she liked her cousin Affan a lot but he did not reciprocate her feelings and she ended up getting married to his younger brother only to get tortured by him. In the drama serial Fitrat, she first fell in love with Arbaz but he also didn’t notice her much and ended up getting married to her sister Fariya. Zubab Rana is always seen carrying a broken heart in her dramas with the pain that she hides behind her smile. Tough luck!

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Gohar Rasheed

Gohar Rasheed is perhaps one of the most gifted actors of the industry yet he has never played a role that left an impression on the viewers. He is completely capable of playing a challenging leading role yet he is most often seen as the ‘other’ man who unknowingly ends up being the reason why two people who love each other cannot be together. Whether it was Digest Writer, Mann Mayal, Raaz-e-Ulfat, or Ishqiya he was never the first choice of any of his heroines. Even when he was part of the drama serial Mujhay Jeenay Du which promised to be an issue-based drama, his character was more or less the same. Since his characters are the same, Gohar Rasheed’s performances in these dramas also were similar to each other.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Shehzad Sheikh

Shehzad Sheikh has definitely come a long way and now has a strong screen presence more than ever but this can not be overlooked that he too has played the role of the other in quite a lot of dramas. The best and most recent example has to be Raaz e Ulfat, a drama that got a massive viewership and the end that people rejoiced over because Mushk ended up ditching Irtiza and in the end, an undesirable Ismail Miya ended up having more brownie points than him. In the drama serial Khud Parast, Shehzad Sheikh’s character was never Uswa’s first choice and even after getting married to him, she could not wait to get out of that marriage. Similarly in Deewar e Shab, Gaiti first loved Khayyam but then came along Salar and when she didn’t have any choice left, she chose him in the end.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Haroon Shahid

Haroon Shahid is a relatively less experienced actor but he has already worked with some of the biggest names of the Pakistani television and film industry. He is a singer turned actor who is being typecast perhaps because of his acting style and perhaps because of his ‘innocent’ looks. His roles in drama serials Khaas, Do Bol, and Muqaddar fell in the category of ‘others’. Although his role in Do Bol started off as the main hero who was the ‘first choice’ but he ended up being the ‘other’ in the lamest manner possible! In all his dramas he was the ‘other with the weakest personality. Except for the drama serial Khaas, the viewers had no reason to feel for his characters. He barely fought for the love of his life and his khamosh, unwanted, love slowly died down in Do Bol and Muqaddar. Haroon Shahid really needs to stop choosing such projects in which he is continuously playing such side roles. Even if he chooses to play the ‘other’ in dramas he should at least make sure that the characters he plays have some strength and screen presence.

Even in his debut film Verna, he played the role of the ‘other’ even though he was ‘supposed to be’ the main lead! The way his character was conveniently relegated to the background to such an extent that it was unbearable watching this good-for-nothing man on screen. The story completely revolved around Sara, played by Mahira Khan and if any other actor or character left an impact it was that of the villain. Therefore, even though Aami was supposed to be the main lead in the film, he ended up playing the most useless character which could easily pass as the ‘other’. In other words, Haroon Shahid played the ‘leading role’ in a film that technically did not have a leading man! All of those viewers who have seen the film will surely agree with us.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Hira Tareen

Hira Tareen is a stylish and talented actress who really shouldn’t be playing the ‘others’ roles in dramas yet she has been seen chasing men who are already committed to others more than once. If she isn’t playing such a character, she is most often the supporting character making the leading lady of the drama miserable in some way or the other. Her characters in Tum Kon Piya and Khaas both showed how an independent and beautiful young woman literally goes after men who are either clearly not worth the effort or are least interested. Although the kind of characters Hira Tareen chooses to play have a better ‘ending’ than the ones most of the actors on this list have been seen playing, we do feel that she is capable of playing much better characters. Even though Hira Tareen has only acted in a handful of dramas, her choices have not been the best. We expect someone like her to make better choices in the future.

The Others In Pakistani Dramas

Danish Taimoor

Danish Taimoor has definitely carved a new identity for himself ever since he decided to continue working in dramas after announcing that he was only going to be working in films. Even though Danish Taimoor has played some impactful roles in the past such as the one he played in Rehaii, now he is often seen as the ‘other’ in drama. There is no denying the fact that he has a screen presence and manages to impress in most of these roles but he is clearly being typecast now. Whether it was Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hei or Deewangi, he was the one person the heroine did not want to be with yet he forced himself into her life and ended up paying the price. He played the character in Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hei so well that it seems the producers are convinced that this is the role he should be playing repeatedly. In Mehrposh he played the role of the ‘other’ with the least bit of impact. In this drama as well even though Shah Jahan loved Mehru and did not want to be the home wrecker, he ended up doing just that! Even after that, Mehru chose someone else and he ended up being the third option in the drama.

Danish Taimoor has been playing similar roles which are leading characters but they are hardly ever the first choice of the heroines. He needs to break the cycle and play a role that is different from the ones he has played so many times already. Whether he is shown as a rich brat or a middle-class young man struggling to keep it together, the scenarios are more or less the same.

Komal Aziz Khan is another actress who has played two roles that fit in the ‘others’ category back-to-back. In the drama serial Raaz-e-Ulfat she played the role of Sehba, a pretty, young, and educated girl from an affluent background who desperately went after not just one man but two! It was difficult to understand Sehba’s desperation at times and Komal Aziz’s over-the-top performance did not help! Mein Na Janoo was another popular recent drama serial in which Kiran, the character played by Komal Aziz pursued Nehad’s character even though she knew that he was madly (quite literally) in love with her cousin Saira. The kind of characters Komal Aziz chose to play recently were more desperate than all the other ‘others’ on the list. Her characters were also such that they left absolutely no impact.

The only thing that I have done where I haven’t followed my sister’s footsteps is Sanam Teri Kasam, Shares Mawra Hocane

If there’s one Pakistani actress who knows how to stay in the limelight, it has to be Mawra Hocane. Most of the time it’s not due to her work, but rather her social media presence, which keeps everyone guessing what she’s up to. Mawra is currently seen in Sammi and her performance is widely appreciated and one cannot deny the fact that her popularity after Sammi has grown tenfold.

Metallic Evenings ✨??? #LondonDiaries @plushbypashmina @bulgariofficial #MawraHocane Love always..

A post shared by MAWRA ? (@mawrellous) on

Speaking exclusively to Something Haute, the diva reveals how the show has not only gone beyond her expectations but also helped her to stop underestimating herself when people compared her work to other shows like Udaari.

“If you knew the people around me, you’d know that I always underestimate myself. It may not look like that from my social media but I do. Always with my projects, I am really scared. I always work hard, but you know, the fate of a project is something no one in the world has figured out yet. How can anyone calculate the fate of a project? I might have underestimated myself, but Sammi went far beyond my expectations,” the actress said.

The diva feels that one needs to have a different outlook to understand the realities of those who live on the peripheries.

✌???

A post shared by MAWRA ? (@mawrellous) on

“One must realize that Sammi is not about people like you or I. We might find this regressive because we live in another world of ours, where we may not even come across such a problem but when we go and shoot in a village and see where such problems happen, or simply just search it online and see the number of wani cases that happen, we’ll realize that it’s not regressive but the truth that we close our eyes to intentionally or unintentionally,” Hocane asserted.

Differentiating between the problems faced in metropolitan cities like Karachi versus those in villages, the actress added,

“It’s not about a girl living in Karachi, who woke up to face an electricity outage or a water shortage; it’s about someone living in a village that isn’t allowed to take a single decision herself. She’s stuck with the fear that someone will make a decision for her and she has to abide by it because she has no other option.”

While the show focuses on the harrowing topic of wani, its continuous comparison to sister Urwa Hocane’s Udaari has also turned into a topic of importance for Mawra. Although there is no surprise about the comparisons, the diva feels that it’s for all the right reasons, as Urwa has remained her innate inspiration.

“I may not have done a social issue project if it wasn’t for Urwa doing Udaari and it getting the success it received. Perhaps, I would have asked for a love-story coming from the influence I came from, doing all love stories,” the actress told Something Haute. “Picking up something like Sammi was because of Udaari, and Urwa has always set precedents for me since I was born. The only thing that I have done where I haven’t followed my sister’s footsteps is Sanam Teri Kasam. But, I do believe things would have been easier for me if I had followed her because I would have had her example to follow,” she added.

The Only Promise Agha Ali Took From Hina Altaf Before Marriage

Agha Ali and Hina Altaf’s wedding was not a big surprise for anyone as people were expecting them together already.

The Only Promise Agha Ali Took From Hina Altaf Before Marriage

Agha Ali formerly dated Sarah khan who is now also married to Falak Shabir.

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

The dramas usually get famous for the performances our favourite actors do or the chemistry between the lead pair. But mostly they get famous for the uniqueness of their scripts. A good actor/actress knows how to select the script which has that oomph that finally makes the audience tune into a channel week after week. These are the artists that finally start being counted in the most successful actors’ department because they know what to select and what can take their crafts to look the best on screen. Here are a few of them:

Noman Ijaz:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Noman Ijaz has the best eye for picking up unique stories. We have seen him give hits after hits for years which involve his versatility as well as his choice of good scripts. He has done all kinds of roles from a quiet guy torn between two women and kind of afraid of his wife in Barri Aapa and at the same time he played a feudal lord in the ground-breaking Mera Saayein. Noman Ijaz has a nick for good scripts. Sang e Mar Mar, Dumpukht, Shayad and Darr Si Jati Hai Sila are the latest additions which show how he can see the wow charm of a script. He has proven his talent of choosing the best over and over and this is what has made him the most successful actor in the drama industry.

Sami Khan:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

It is not wrong to say that currently, Sami Khan is the champion of selecting the best scripts. He knows what will work for the audience and it has become the reason that he is giving back to back hits and performances that really are working for everyone. His role in Be Inteha, the intriguing factor there was in Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua, the sensitivity in Aisi Hai Tanhai, the complications of Khudgarz, he has really mastered the craft of settling for the best scripts and consequently, he is the part of many top hits right now.

Yumna Zaidi:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Yumna has really joined the league of the most refined actresses and all thanks to her strong performances as well as a bold choice of scripts. She has proved again and again that she is here to stay with the kind of choices she is making. Ye Raha Dil made us look at her in a new light. She looked smart, modern and confident and then she chose a totally different script which is a difficult choice I must say and that’s Darr Si Jaati Hai Sila. To play a sensitive character like that after a light-hearted Ye Raha Dil was a great move. Her Pukar has also proven to be quite engaging.

Ayeza Khan:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Ayeza is a champion with scripts. Yes, she is an exceptional actress but honestly, I’ll attribute her success more towards her talent with her eyes for the better script. She beautifully understands her audiences’ psyche and works according to that. She once hit a phase where she was playing a roti dhoti larki again and again but she pulled herself out of it and has never looked back since she has started making extremely intelligent choices in her career. Pyaare Afzal, Tum Kon Piya, Mohabbat Tum Se Nafrat Hai, Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua, all have struck a chord with the audience not just because of the performances but also because they were incredible stories.

Imran Abbas:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Many would say that his looks are his superpower but honestly, the guy has the best senses when it comes to selecting a good script and he has proved it over and over in the past years. Even in the very start when he was not the biggest star, he knew what will be the hit. Alvida, Dil e Muzter, Khuda Aur Mohabbat, Mohabbat Tum Se Nafrat Hai, Yaar e Bewafa and Mera Naam Yousuf Hai are just a few of his choices which show his prowess for picking the good scripts. Even if his performance goes lower in any of his dramas, the scripts are so good that the audience ends up not noticing.

Saba Qamar:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Saba knows what works! It is as simple as that. Saba is one of the best actresses in our industry and she has built her career by choosing intelligent projects and then giving stellar performances. From Maat, Digest Writer, Bunty I Love You to the recent Baaghi, Saba knows what will charm the viewers and give her more room to give her hundred percent and she acts on it. The end result: Stellar projects which people remember long after their conclusion and long to see Saba on screen again.

Mohsin Abbas Haider:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Mohsin is a full package of talent. From hosting to singing to acting, he has nailed every project he has done. Mohsin has been a part of really good projects that give him room for expression. His brief stint on television has still made people notice him because of the unique projects he chose. Muqabil was something people fell in love with, he has a different role in Meeras too and now Lashkara is also a great addition to his drama list.

Kubra Khan:

The Ones Who Have The Eye For A Good Script!

Kubra though a newbie knows how to select a project. She also has a knack for stories that will work. Mostly all of her projects were super-hit and all because the stories were extremely unique. Khuda Aur Mohabbat 2, Sange Marr Marr, Muqabil and even Alif Allah Aur Insaan kept the audience hooked to their screens and all did well on the TRP charts.

Which other actors do you think have a good eye for a beautiful script? Add to the list!

The Oh So Often Of Pakistani Dramas!

We are breaking stereotypes and with every passing day, we see new topics popping up in our dramas. But there is still a long way to go. There are many sequences which happen in nearly 90 percent of the ordinary dramas that do not really strike a chord and some are even repeated in the good ones. Here are some of the sequences that we see so often in our dramas that we end up predicting them before they even happen:

Susral Is Zaalim:

I actually have seen a lot of examples from real life where susral’s are nothing less than a scare house. And sadly the majority of the households in Pakistan have this problem with susral being extra Zalim for no reason at all. But imagine going through that kind of hell all day and then switching on a television and watch that all over again. Not a good idea if you ask me. Yes, it is a reality of this society but making 90 percent of shows on this topic alone is overkill. Not to forget it actually gives even more ideas to all those Zalim saases and nands out there to experiment more with their devil-gifted capabilities.

The Oh So Often Of Pakistani Dramas!

PYAAAARRRRRR:

The one and only…Pyaaaaarrrrr!!!! If you are shown as any person below 30 years of age, you are going to fall in love. Falling in love is not bad but when the whole purpose of your existence becomes Pyar, it is annoying. We witness every day 13 or 15 year olds on the streets behaving like some romantic saga’s lover boy and believe me, showing them people falling in love left and right. Going to their educational institutions so they can just get hold of some pretty counter-part is not helping. The flying dupattas and starry eyes make people cringe after a while. A whole chunk of our dramas has this underlying sequence with the leads dragging their audience for over 20 episodes so they can get married. Like marriage is a bed of roses with no responsibilities or changes right?

The Oh So Often Of Pakistani Dramas!

Characterless:

This topic is most of the times handled so immaturely that I have no words to describe it. They will show a girl who is known to be a great person by everybody being condemned for no reason at all. No one will be rational or even ask why is she being accused of such a big thing. And many times, our seedhi saadhi bechari heroines will not even defend themselves. They will just go with the flow. Like can you relate to a scenario where someone is calling you characterless and you are not bulldozing him or her down? But somehow our heroines always manage to pull it off. The best thing is no one will ask anything about this scenario once everything is over. Because since the hero is accepting the girl, all the drama gets fixed automatically. No need for clearance or apologies!

The Oh So Often Of Pakistani Dramas!

Bachay!:

It is so unbelievable that we have complete dramas dedicated to this topic. There are all kinds of stories with a whole bunch of people waiting for the khushkhabri. Easily calling the involved lady BANJH like that is not offensive or immoral. There are dramas where men have issues and sometimes people need children for legacy or to keep money in the family. If anyone has seen Mera Dard Na Jane Koi on HUM TV, you can relate to how painful can this be. The whole cast was revolving around having kids in every absurd way possible. The makers sometimes do not even realize that such things can be extremely painful for many people in real life. Main Maa Nahin Banna Chahti is the recent addition to this desperateness. AND!! There is a whole drama named BANJH!!

The Oh So Often Of Pakistani Dramas!

Ameer=Snobby And Ghareeb=Humble:

If you can lead a good life where you don’t have to worry about your meals, you are snobby. This is also a sequence we see in nearly all our dramas. The rich people are insensitive except the hero because the hero is always rich and always a good person.  The girls usually are from ghareeb households and their families will be humble and ready to sacrifice everything for their loved ones. Many times we see a balance is also shown but mostly the scenario is same with rich ladies not interested in their kids and always ready for parties while poor ladies focusing on good tarbiyat.

The Oh So Often Of Pakistani Dramas!

The Shortage Of Boys:

According to the recent consensus, Pakistan has more men than women but not in our drama universe. We all talk about sister rivalry but the root problem is the shortage of boys. There is always one boy who is a good husband material in the whole city leading to a lot of catfights among sisters, friends and sometimes between heroine and hero’s acquaintance who secretly loved him.

The Obsession With Jinaat

0

The Obsession With JinaatMornings are the most important part of the day for me because it is the beginning of a new day and every new day brings with it new hopes. When we wake up in the morning we want to do whatever we can to feel refreshed and energetic. Meeting a good friend or getting praise at work in the morning can make your whole day beautiful. So, basically there was nothing new that I said in the above lines because we all feel that way. Everyone wants their mornings to be refreshing but why are our Morning Show hosts unaware of this very common fact? First, they tortured us with wedding ceremonies in the wee hours of the morning and now we have a date with a jin or a spirit early in the morning.

Please answer this for me, who wants to meet Jinnat in the morning? I know I don’t! And I especially do not want to meet these jinnat or know about them when the sole purpose of discussing them is to create sensation and not to cause awareness of any sort. I accept the fact that supernatural spirits exist, the evidence is there in the Quran but I would like that these jinnat are not invited as guests in our morning shows. Am I the only one who feels that most of these shows with Jinnats making a guest appearance are fake? And that is probably the reason why these shows put you off even more. You know I have an idea, enough of shadis and enough of jinnat, ab kisi jin couple ki shadi karwani chahyeh. That will surely increase TRPs even more…what do you all say?

All human beings are curious to know about the supernatural beings and many people face problems relating to them but there is a limit to everything. Every other morning show seems to follow the same path and then it becomes a competition. Some go to graveyards to look for jinns and others are so lucky that the jinnat come to their shows themselves. Do these morning show hosts think that the viewers are foolish? I wish they would understand that their viewers are very intelligent people; in fact so intelligent that maybe they should ask the viewers what they want to see in a show.

Morning shows are not dramas; they are reality shows, which means that they should not be fake. But it seems like the actors hosting these shows use most of their acting talent in these shows. I remember there was a time when Nadia Khan’s shows were very balanced and had a little bit of everything. But then she also joined the rat race and now the awam is stuck with jinnats and shadis.

Share with us, how many of you want to see hosts and guests talking about Jinnats in these shows? And do you think all of it is for real? Do you feel like these Jinnat shows (not morning shows) are questioning the viewers’ intelligence?

Saud.
