Lata Mangeshkar Is Not Happy With Atif Aslam

0

Atif Aslam’s rendition of the old classic “Chalte Chalte” for the upcoming Bollywood film Mitron did not get the kind of appreciation from Lata Mageshkar, who originally sung the song for the iconic film Pakeeza, which the singer might have been hoping for. Tanishk Bagchi was behind the music and lyrics for this cover version. The music for the original song was given by Ghulam Mohammed and the lyrics were written by Kaifi Azmi.

Pink Villa reported that when Lata Mangeshkar was asked to comment on this rendition, she remarked,

“I don’t want to hear it. This trend of remixing old songs saddens me. Where is the creativity in simply lifting acknowledged, beloved classics and shuffling the notes around? I’ve even heard that the lyrics are changed in the remixes. By whose consent?”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU8wtPMZlfc&feature=youtu.be

She also said,

“The original poets and composers wrote what they had to. Nobody has the right to tamper with the creativity of these great composers and lyricists.”

We are wondering if Atif Aslam will reply to this criticism!

“DEKHTI ANKHON OR SUNTAY KANO APKO TARIQ AZIZ KA SALAM!” no child born in 80’s and 90’s can ever forget these words.

Last Words Of The Legendary Host Tariq AzizAnd now when Tariq Aziz has left the world, each and every Pakistani is mourning over it. No one can ever forget him.

Last Words Of The Legendary Host Tariq Aziz

Tariq Aziz’s last words before he died moved everyone in tears. Before his demise he tweeted that he is waiting to be healthy again. He also tweeted Kalma.

Last Words Of The Legendary Host Tariq Aziz

 

Tariq Aziz had no children in real, before his death he clearly said in a tweet that all his money and his property is for his country, Pakistan.

Last Words Of The Legendary Host Tariq Aziz

The last words of Tariq Aziz are clear enough to describe that he was the gem of a person and we lost a legend today. We pray that Allah bless him with higher ranks in Jannah, Ameen.

 

Last Month in Dramas – AUGUST

0

With a bunch of new dramas hitting the television soon, I thought I’d write an article of this last month in dramas – what’s been airing, what the shows were like etc.
The article is however going to limited to ARY, Hum TV & A-Plus (a bit) & PRIME TIME DRAMAS ONLY [Sorry if this article gets too long :/]

MONDAYs –

* Hum TV: Mere Meherbaan –

This is the only show I watch on Monday & it is still airing. Ayza Khan in her usual victim role & Agha Ali in male lead. Madiha Rizvi, Naleem Muneer, Sanam Ch and more are also in cast. The story is nothing new with plots of cousin jealousy, cousin love engagement broken by new girl that enters, marriage secrets where woman doesn’t know her to-be husband actually has a son and more!

mere meherban1

* ARY: Arranged Marriage –

This one also has Agha Ali & Neelum Munir in its cast, though in a totally different roles. It is still airing & I do no watch it, but from clips I have seen it is about an arranged marriage (obviously!) but the guy actually is having an affair with another woman & even when wife founds out about this she does all she can to save her house (nothing new here)

arranged marriage

TUESDAYs –

* Hum TV: Shanakht –

Literally the only drama I look forward to each week. Currently 4 episodes have gone on air. The drama starring Maya Ali, Noor Hassan & Fahad Mirza. It deals with the hijab and the way the protagonist’s family and friends react to her decision to wear it. I must say, I think until now the writers are surprising me with how much I am actually enjoying this show :)

shanakht

* ARY: Chup Raho

Starring Sajal Ali & Jibran Syed with only 2 episodes that have yet aired. A different genre to the usual dramas, Chup Raho follows the story of a young woman, who is subjected to harsh and cruel abuse. I do not watch it as I personally am not a fan of this genre, though I have heard quite a few people enjoying it.

chup raho

WEDNESDAYs –

* Hum TV: Izteraab –

Final episode aired last week. Starring Saba Qamar & Mikaal Zulfiqaar in lead roles, this was one flop of a drama. I honestly did not understand what this drama was about except that the male lead liked ladies who could cook him garam parathay all day (as explained by Zahra in her patient funny reviews).

izteraab

* ARY: Koi Nahi Apna

Last episode to be aired next Wed on 3rd Sept, it is the same old, same old story. Like a mash up of Dil-e-Muztar & all those dramas where the boy & girl are madly in love, parents don’t like the marriage, marriage goes through anyway, couple of years later, child grown, parents having arguments ….. You get the jist right? The only reason I have watched this is for Fahad Mustafa & Sarwat Gillani because as actors I seriously like them, but boy was I disappointed.

KNA

THURSDAYs –

* Hum TV: Janam Jali –

As Kanwal said a couple of weeks ago, this too is my guilty pleasure drama. The story of revolves around Bayjee who believes that it is her right to mistreat her two daughters-in-law because she was mistreated by her mother-in-law. Honestly, I know it a story done a hundred times before but it’s the only thing that catches my eye on Thursdays.

janam jali

 

* ARY: Janay Kyun –

The story is about a young couple dealing with the realities of married life. I do not watch this drama because I had the least bit of interest in its plot and actors.

Untitled

* A Plus: Pehchaan –

I started watching this after around 16 episodes had aired when I was convinced by Fatima’s reviews to watch it. A different type of drama written by Bee Gul starring Alishba Yousef & Sohail Sameer about a woman who discovers her strong identity as a strong independent woman, I am pleasantly surprised with its good pace, mazboot aurat story and the acting. Another drama I love forward to weekly :)

pehchan

FRIDAYs –

* Hum TV: Mausam –

Some like it & some don’t; personally I do not watch it. The drama cast includes Ahsan Khan, Hareem Farooq, Naila Jaffri & Yumna Zaidi. The serial deals with themes of love, bond and jealousy between two cousins Saman and Shazia. From reviews, I can tell that the make-up is all over the place & it definitely does not seem like Hum TV’s best weekly drama (which they tend to air on Fridays)

mausam2

* ARY: Bhabhi –

Should I say, another guilty pleasure. The drama is based upon post marriage issues. The character of Shazad Sheikh annoys the living daylights out of me; both her voice & the way she wants to apnaa her husband. Sohai Ali Abro again is in her rona dhona role (what a surprise!)

bhabi

 

SATURDAYs –

* Hum TV: Laa –

Again, a different concept drama from the rest, its last episode aired on 30th Aug. Genre of romance, drama & spiritual. Meekal Zulfiqar and Saadia Khan were in lead roles. Though I did not watch it, I have read that it was an enjoyable drama to watch for some, with some even saying it was an amazing play. Also it ended after 13 episodes which may have helped to keep its charm.

laa1

* ARY: Shikwa –

A story of a struggling family facing the harsh realities of life. With Waseem Abbas, Soniya Hussein & Irsa Ghazal in the main cast, this drama actually started off quite well, but since the past 3 or 4 episodes, it is slowly spiralling downwards, though I do hope they can end this drama well. Also, I must add, I am hugely impressed with Soniya Hussein’s acting recently, she literally makes her character come to life.

shikwa

SUNDAYs –

* Hum TV: Aahista Aahista –

Starring Adnan Siddiqi, Sarwat Gilani and Mawra Hocane, the serial is shot in San Francisco, USA. It is literally the same old story of two wives, one American, one Pakistani. There are still more characters to be introduced, so I do not think this is ending soon, though I could be wrong. I am watching these episodes with loads of fast-forwarding. Aahista, aahista the episodes send me to sleep. Though I must give immense credit to Zahra for the lively, witty & funny reviews you provide to us after the dreary episode.

AA

 

* ARY: Jeeto Pakistan Jeeto – A game show

From my knowledge, Izteraab, Koi Nahi Apna, Janay Kyun, Bhabhi & Laa, are either now finished or very nearly finished. I have seen many promos for the new batch of dramas that are going to be aired soon, so let’s wait and see if they are worth watching.

Last Instagram Post Of Zara Abid Will Bring Tears To Your Eyes

So, once again it is hardened that 2020 is indeed not a jammy year. Today another down hearted incident took place in Karachi where a PIA plan crashed a few moments before its landing.

With more than 90 passengers were boarded on it. According to the news more than 30 deaths have been reported till now. We hereby sadly add that among many other passengers model Zara Abid was also present in that ill fated PIA plan that crashed.

Last Instagram Post Of Zara Abid Will Bring Tears To Your Eyes

No confirm news has been received yet about the survival or demise of Zara Abid, but we pray for her to be one of the luckiest ones who have survived the crash. We also pray that all the departed souls get higher ranks in Jannah, and Allah give Sabar to their families.

Zara Abid’s last post on Instagram put us all in agony.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXk8iPlB2B/

Zara shared a picture in which she is sitting and posing in a helicopter and wrote: “Fly high, it’s good”

Who knew that a few days after posing this picture she will actually fall a prey to an air crash. We never Know what destiny has planned for us. We pray that Allah grant her health and life. Ameen!

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

Another big escapade and 2020 is standing still as an undeniable reality. The young and handsome star or Bollywood Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide in his apartment.

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

Today his body was found hanging in his apartment.

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

Everyone is in state of shock, that why would a successful actor commit suicide.

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

Sushant Singh’s death comes days after the death of his former manager Disha Salian who reportedly died an a result of suicide attempt.

Sushant hold multiple successful movies on his credit including Rabta, MS Dhoni,  Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, Shudh Desi Romance an many others.

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

The police is investigating the reason behind the death of 34 years old actor. Some people are saying that this is a case of depression. It is reported that Sushant was suffering from severe depression and was also attending the counselling sessions.

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

Here we have another proof that no matter how much we be cautious about our physical health, mental health is equally important. He didn’t die of any infectious diseases. He took his own life because he wasn’t doing well mentally.

Last Instagram Post Of Sushant Singh Rajput

 

Sushant’s last Instagram post somehow gives us an idea of his depression. He was missing his late mother way to much and on 3rd of June he uploaded a picture of his mother with a gloomy caption:

“Blurred past evaporating from teardrops
Unending dreams carving an arc of smile
And a fleeting life,
negotiating between the two..”

Last Episode: Mera Naam Yousuf Hai – And They Lived Happily Ever After!

“Mohabat khudghurzu ka khel hai, qurbaniyan dene wale koi aur kaam karein!” The ending of Mera Naam Yousuf Hai was exactly what many of the viewers predicted it would be like but does that make it any less gratifying? Most certainly not! It was filmi to the core just like the drama as a whole, very emotional and for once viewers can be happy that Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar who personally does not believe in happy endings gave this drama a very happy ending probably because he knew that people would have wanted to see Yousuf and Zulekha together. Madiha’s character was one of the many lovable characters in this play and the way she played a pivotal role in bringing Yousuf and Zulekha together in the end did not come as a surprise at all. The viewers did not expect someone like Madiha to settle for anything less than all or nothing and that is exactly what she did. Madiha and Zulekha both proved that their love was truly selfless; the sort of love which everyone wants but very few find it. Although I am not for sacrificing your love for someone’s happiness but in this case I am all for what Madiha did because there was no point getting married to someone who was not going to love her ever especially when the love of his life was sitting there right in front of him and in a position to be with him for a lifetime.

1 5

Waji Ahmed’s conversation with Zulekha was the highlight of this episode. The way he summed up Yousuf’s personality and how sacrificing your love effects people in the long run was absolutely superb. Everything he said to Zulekha was like a reality check and i it also helped convince Zulekha to attend Yousuf’s wedding. Watching Yousuf in a shirt and tie working in a proper office, spending quality time with his sister and calling his step mother ‘ami’ was very touching. It went to show that a great deal had changed in Yousuf’s life.

“Us admi ko mei 25 saal de chuki hu judge sahiba ab dene ke liye mere pass aik pal bhi nahi hai!”….music to my ears! Afia Begum is finally free and it was delightful to see Noor Muhammad being kicked out of the house by Bushra. This was the perfect end to this particular track. I am glad that Afia Begum did not take Noor Muhammad back.

Right till the last minute Zulekha kept on denying her real feelings for Yousuf but when the moment came to make the final choice she knew exactly what she wanted. “Qaurbani dene se pehle hi tumhara dum nikal gaya!” Hajra’s witty dialogues have given comic relief all through the play and in this episode too Hajra managed to knock some sense into Zulekha in her unusual yet very entertaining way! The last two scenes were a class above the rest! Right till the end I wasn’t sure if Zulekha and Yousuf will end up together and when they did I could not help but smile and cry at the same time. Beautiful ending to a superb play!

Mera Naam Yousuf Hai was much more than just another love story, it was a beautiful play that showed many aspects of our society from male domination to how religion is used by many for their own selfish ends in a very apt manner. Like all of Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s plays we saw some very strong willed women paving their own path with all the courage in the world in circumstances that were anything but favorable. The powerful script, soul-stirring dialogues and Mehreen Jabbar’s excellent direction brought out the best in all the actors. The director of photography deserves a special mention for paying special attention to detail and giving us some beautiful scenes which made this drama a visual treat. The character development throughout the drama remained convincing.

Imran Abbas brought out the best in his character yet again; his boyish charm coupled with his polished acting skills added the spark which Yousuf’s character needed to portray it aptly on screen. Maya Ali did not stand out as Zulekha at first but once Zulekha fell in love with Yousuf she was totally into the character. Maya Ali’s expressions in the last two scenes of tonight’s episode were priceless. I cannot praise Mansha Pasha enough for breathing life into a beautifully written character in a flawless manner. She outshone in her character and stood out more than Zulekha in the first few episodes especially and carried forward the transformation in her character perfectly. Ali Sheikh played Daa Ji’s character brilliantly throughout the play; he is a natural and I am definitely looking forward to watching him showcase his acting talent in other quality projects. Behroze Sabzwari made us fall in love with his character by highlighting the soft and sensitive nature of Waji Ahmed. No one could have played Yousuf’s step mother’s character better than Seema Seher. The character itself was exceptionally well written and it couldn’t have been translated on screen in a better way. Hina Bayat’s exceptional performance throughout this play went to show that she relished every minute of playing a character with a lot of substance and I would like to thank her for taking time out to read the reviews and for commenting. Waseem Abbas made us hate his character but the viewers could not help appreciating the precision with which Waseem Abbas portrayed different shades of Noor Muhammad’s personality. Mizna Waqas and Taqi Ahmed are definitely two very promising actors with a natural gift of acting who I am sure will go a long way as long they work in the right projects and with good directors. Faizan Sheikh, Parveen Akbar and Farah Nadeem portrayed their characters effortlessly on screen as well. The OST of the play along with all the other old classics that were used in the background were pure genius. This is the first time that we heard so many different songs old and new in a drama which basically showed the creativity of the director.

Mera Naam Yousuf Hai was one of those very few dramas that restore your faith in Pakistani writers, actors, directors and producers and prove that there is hope for Pakistani drama industry. As long as Pakistani drama industry has all these talented individuals associated with it, it will continue giving us dramas that are a complete package. I would like to thank the entire team of MNYH for giving us 20 amazing weeks of wholesome entertainment. I would also like to thank Mehreen Jabbar for reading the reviews and answering our questions. A big thanks to all the wonderful readers who are always very kind and without whom this whole review writing experience would be worthless. Thank you so much for accompanying me on this beautiful journey.

Lashkara Last Episode Story Review – Perfect Closure

Opening Thoughts – Perfect Closure:

Ohkay so, the last episode of Lashkara was done well. For the first time in long time I found the ending of a drama to be quite detailed & not rushed at all. The reason why it looked like a detailed ending was because the drama-makers started wrapping the story up slowly & built the suspense in the end to give it a proper closure. Nothing was dragged unnecessarily & then nothing was rushed as well!

Sunny The Savior:

Feeka chose not to say a word & stick to his plan but everyone in the outside world was trying to uncover the truth, not only to save Feeka but to let Bubbly know what the reality is as well. Sunny turned out to be the most important person in Bubbly’s life who saved her marriage as well as her husband. Bubbly & Feeka went through a lot & Sunny was always one such factor that happened to be the reason behind them drifting apart but this time around, things were different & Sunny drew them closer.

Sunny saved Bubbly’s life & told her the truth that her brother Iqbal was the one who threw acid on her face. Bubbly who was struggling already felt it was the right thing to die because knowing that Feeka did such a thing was too difficult for her to grasp. As much as I was happy that things were turned in Feeka & Bubbly’s favor, I wish either one of them had this blind trust on their spouse to believe that they couldn’t do such a thing what the world was trying to say about them. Feeka ended up believing Nikki when she said that Bubbly was having an affair with Sunny & now Bubbly ended up believing Iqbal that it was Feeka who threw acid on her? Just a little more trust & faith apart from the love they had for each other would’ve been a bit better!

Lashkara Last Episode Story Review - Perfect Closure

Iqbal tried to steer clear from what he did but then Sunny got to the crux of the reality & found out it was him & that uncovered Iqbal. The scene where Bubbly threw boiling water on Iqbal was intense but I felt it was rightfully symbolic that those who throw acid on others should actually also know what it feels like when your face is burnt. Yes, boiling water didn’t compare to the acid but it was enough for Iqbal to know what he did. Nikki ended up killing Iqbal only to save her husband Akram but the fact remained that she was a murderer with Akram being her partner in other crimes that they had committed over the years. I feel Akram & Nikki couldn’t have gotten a better ending & Bubbly got the best revenge where she didn’t even have to do anything but things turned out to be in her favor.

My favorite part of the last episode of Lashkara was definitely the closing sequence where they showed Bubbly & Feeka’s current life with both of them being with each other, happy, in love & going strong while making a living for themselves on their own conditions with the support & encouragement of their family members. It was sweet & very appeasing to see Bubbly finding a purpose & a reason to shape up her life with her husband peacefully.

Closing Thoughts – Acting Made Lashkara Worthwhile:

Lashkara was a treat to watch for sure. The setting in Lahore & the way they brought the life of interior Lahore to the screen with so much of impact was brilliant. The subject & the execution was phenomenal too. Lashkara definitely was a different drama which actually kept my interest intact in it throughout & it surely deserves more attention than it got. The way the writer added depth in all the characters through different dimension in their personalities was what made this drama even better. The direction was amazing too but the credit definitely goes to all the actors; both main & supporting ones for bringing this story to life with their phenomenal performances. There was a phase when this drama was basically relying on the brilliant acting & it surely worked as everyone performed to the best of their abilities & gave Lashkara their all. Ushna Shah & Mohsin Abbas Haider were beyond brilliant as Bubbly & Feeka, so much so that no one else could have portrayed these characters the way they both did. Last but definitely not the least, for me Imran Ashraf takes the crown for his exceptional portrayal of Sunny. He made Sunny my favourite character through his acting. I swear what an amazing & gifted actor he is, wow! Please share your thoughts about the last episode of Lashkara.

Lashkara Episode 9 – Review!

Ohkay so, it was yet another interesting episode of Lashkara. I like how the characters have been etched out & portrayed on screen because even when they don’t say anything, their feelings can be understood. Lashkara has become such a treat to watch but I so so so wish there’s no death in the story. I am saying that because every single drama these days involves death of a character or two & in this case, I so hope it isn’t Feeka because I got that vibe from one of his dialogues & I am warding that thought off!!!

In this episode, Bubbly’s character shone a lot. It was shown that just a little faith, freedom & honesty can bring out the best in someone. Bubbly did have a lot of freedom in her parent’s home too but considering the sort of family Feeka comes from, it sure is a big deal that Nasreen is not only letting Bubbly be but is also facilitating & accommodating her so much that too considering Feeka being her only son!

Bubbly is pretty intelligent & this is why, she deciphered that Nikki has no say in almost anything. Nasreen has only given Nikki & her husband Akram an accommodation but she hasn’t given them any authority & this is what Bubbly picked up too because of which, despite Nikki’s taunts, tantrums & threats, she seemed unbothered about her. Bubbly confronted Nikki & I liked that because at least she is not ashamed of who she is, what her past was & where she comes from & all this was because Nasreen gave her that edge & the confidence to feel that way, which is amazing.

To be honest, as much as I want to enjoy Nikki’s character considering the way it has been portrayed phenomenally by the actor, I found it annoying because Nikki is only going to create troubles for Feeka & Bubbly – a couple that I adore & don’t want to see drifting apart. Nikki already planted a seed to ruin their relationship by sending Sunny a message through Bubbly’s phone & I am not sure how will Bubbly come out of this mess because I fear Nasreen & even Feeka might doubt her intentions & not believe her explanation. Bubbly will be clueless too & might take time to figure out what actually happened but I so hope she comes out of this!

The entire Kheer scenario was really amusing where Feeka & Bubbly thought they pulled a stunt successfully but then Nasreen came with a subtle reminder that she knows what they both did. It is quite interesting to see how Nasreen never ever misses a chance to remind Feeka & Bubbly that she is watching them like a hawk while still giving them enough space to enjoy each other’s company. The way Bubbly slapped the policeman was another interesting scenario, it showcased how Bubbly will be on a front seat always. Feeka did feel ashamed for being unable to protect Bubbly but it was quite sweet to see that Bubbly has accepted him the way he is & she is not wishing for anything else!

I so want to believe that Nasreen doesn’t have an ulterior motive in allowing Bubbly to model for that famous designer but considering the businesswoman that she is, I do sense something. I hope whatever Nasreen does doesn’t cost Feeka his happiness at least, but things are going to get quite intense & interesting. Oh yes, Nasreen already printed Bubbly’s picture on the advertising posters for her new construction, so does this mean she is cashing on Bubbly’s looks & her overall beauty? Would love to find that out. I must say, the director has elevated the level of this drama with his phenomenal direction & all the actors are beyond amazing. The way they have breathed life into these characters is amazing & I for once just can not picture anyone else playing the characters of Nasreen, Feeka, Bubbly, Sunny & even Nazeer. Perfection for sure. Please share your thoughts.

Cheers,

Lashkara Episode 6 – 8 Review – Intense!

Ohkay so, when I started watching Lashkara, I seriously had no idea what I should expect, I remember randomly coming across a post on Instagram suggesting it as an upcoming drama so I got interested & I am glad I made that decision because I enjoy each & everything, every little detail about this drama, so much so that I can say I love Lashkara. The power packed performances, amazing dialogues intense acting, layered characters & so many things to be read between the lines; all these factors make Lashkara a treat & a complete package!

The way all these episodes brought the realities of post marriage to life was phenomenal. There were so many moments, so many intricate details that covered what really truly happens in & after a desi wedding, where the couple is happy, some people around them are busy with their agendas & others are genuinely happy for them!

I must say, Nasreen’s character has to be the most interesting one & the grace & personality with which Saba Hameed has portrayed it is just phenomenal. I love the confidence & self-assurance of Nasreen. You can’t really put her in a category & this is what I love about her, she is the friend you need if you’re in her good books but if you’re not, she will be your worst nightmare.

It is quite interesting to see how well aware Nasreen is when it comes to her upbringing especially in regards to Feeka. She knows that he is this very innocent & pure soul that is why she always keeps her guards erected in the matters concerning him as he is someone who’s prone to getting hurt easily. The very first warning that Nasreen gave to Bubbly suggested how she wanted Bubbly to remain guilt-stricken because that way she would become very easy to mold. In these episodes, especially after Feeka & Bubbly’s marriage, Nasreen was seen setting a play ground for Bubbly to be on as per her own terms & conditions. Nasreen herself knows that Bubbly is way out of Feeka’s league that is why she was throwing one favour after another Bubbly’s way so that she spends the rest of her life under the burden of those favours & can not even imagine hurting Feeka who is so gullibly in love with her. Bubbly did say that it seemed like Nasreen brought her for Feeka, which is true but then Nasreen covered that fact under so many wraps that no one could talk about it anymore – not even Bubbly!

My most favorite scenes in these episodes were of Bubbly & Feeka, especially their wedding scene where Feeka finally got a chance to tell Bubbly what she meant to him. The way they broke the ice & then grew so comfortable within a span of few minutes was elaborated by Ushna & Mohsin beautifully. Bubbly who had so many inhibitions found herself falling in love with Feeka because he touched her emotionally. Feeka was on cloud 9 but then again, he couldn’t keep his emotions in control too as there were so many voices in his head that were forcing him to have doubts. Feeka is just very plain & has no filters that is why he immediately told Bubbly why he was confused.

It was so nice to see the budding relationship of Bubbly & Feeka where they went from being distant to now totally in love with each other. Bubbly never had a clear idea of her ‘perfect’ marriage but because Feeka loved her like she couldn’t imagine, she was simply happy. It was nice to see Nasreen being happy for Feeka & Bubbly but then again, she knows she has set the ground & won’t let Bubbly escape from it ever, that is why she couldn’t ignore one small lie of Bubbly which she told about she wanting Feeka to go with her. May be by inquiring about it from Feeka, it was her way of confirming whether her son has changed or was he still the same & yes, Feeka didn’t disappoint her because he was still that gullible simple minded Feeka who couldn’t keep things to himself!

The way Nasreen dealt with Sunny went to show how she kept a grudge & how she again devised a plan to teach him a lesson & get back at him for insulting Feeka in front of such a huge crowd. Nasreen’s calm in dealing with such complicated matters is amazing. Sunny couldn’t really gather himself because he was already shattered with the news of Bubbly’s marriage & then Nasreen put his entire family on the line which he couldn’t cope up with. Sunny really couldn’t accept the fact that Bubbly was happy & most importantly she was happy & emotionally settled with Feeka. Even after so many reminders from Bubbly herself, Sunny still didn’t want to wrap his head around the fact that she moved on but then even if not for Bubbly, Sunny will definitely come back to deal with Nasreen, for all that she put him up with.

In the middle of all this, another touching conversation took place between Taya Jee & Tayi Jee where Taya typically showed his big & kind heartedness by being happy for Bubbly but Tayi Jee choked up at the idea of Saima’s marriage, where the thought of her daughter’s struggles in the future overwhelmed her. Tayi Jee was happy for Bubbly but more than that, she was sad for her daughter Saima & even though she has always supported Saima’s passion for education, at that point she thought like a typical mother who only wanted to see her daughter married & well-settled. I loved how Taya Jee tried to rationalize her thoughts but then Tayi couldn’t understand what he was trying to say at that moment. Also, in the background, Nazeer; bubbly’s harmless admirer also made an appearance & even he was having a hard time seeing Bubbly married & happy. I loved the way Bubbly spoke to him, like Saima said, Bubbly is very mature & she definitely portrayed that because all of a sudden Bubbly was being forced to act responsibly & she was doing a great job at that. It is interesting to see how Nasreen doesn’t pay much heed to what Nikki says, may be because she feels Nikki’s all talks & nothing beyond that? But I do have a feeling Nikki & her husband Akram are going to create troubles for Bubbly, let’s see how she’ll deal with them!

Overall, these episodes of Lashkara took the story forward a great deal & everything about it was phenomenal. Ushna Shah & Mohsin Abbas Haider are amazing & they made their scenes a treat to watch but the one who took the crown yet again was Imran Ashraf, he really really portrayed the storm brewing inside Sunny’s mind & heart convincingly. Someone who was absolutely shattered & just didn’t know what he was supposed to do & how he should pick up the pieces, well done Imran Ashraf. Saba Hameed was perfect, her calm, her animosity, everything was subtle but screaming what was going through her mind. I can’t wait for the next episode. All the supporting actors are doing an amazing job too. The editors have really elevated the level of this drama too. I love the background scores they have used & how they have kept the usage very minimal as well. Lashkara has turned out to be such a drama that I look forward too definitely. Please share your thoughts.

Lashkara Episode 5 Review – Very Interesting!

Ohkay so, this episode of Lashkara was amazing & very interesting. I love that despite having that comical undertone, every other situation has so much depth & meaning to it. The entire scenario that was elaborated in this episode depicted just that.

Feeka & Bubbly were to get engaged. The news of Bubbly getting married to Feeka took everyone by surprise because no one could imagine Bubbly settling for a guy like Feeka who has nothing of his own, no identity & even no personality whatsoever. Bubbly has made a huge sacrifice here & she can not explain everyone her reasons for saying yes to this proposal.

Sunny knew that he couldn’t do anything to stop this marriage from happening, therefore he came up with a very petty excuse to make a scene & punish Feeka for stepping into his territory. I couldn’t stop laughing at Feeka’s entry with his clothes torn apart & confidence shattered because this was supposed to be the best, most awaited day of his life but what just happened was not as per his plans. It was unfortunate that Nasreen at that very moment didn’t do anything to help mend his son’s bruised ego because she wanted to convey a message loud & clear to Bubbly & her family.

Even though I couldn’t help sympathize with Feeka when he cried & did feel that Nasreen shouldn’t have done what she did but later when she gave a little explanation to Feeka, I understood her perspective. Like Feeka said that Nasreen has always over-protected him & when she should’ve walked an extra mile to help her son feel better, she let him sit there feeling low & humiliated, it was because Nasreen very well knows how simple & innocent Feeka is & how Bubbly was his polar opposite so in that moment, she curbed her son’s feelings aside to shape his future with a wife like Bubbly. Nasreen had to do this because she wanted Bubbly to always live with this guilt that she was the reason why her husband was humiliated, which would obviously give Feeka an upper-hand on Bubbly. I must say, though Nasreen is not a negative character, but I like how she is manipulative in a good way that if she is aware of Bubbly’s upbringing, she is also not oblivious to her son’s shortcomings. Nasreen knew that if she hadn’t done that, it would have meant losing Feeka to Bubbly with she ruling him for the rest of their lives but just one such move was enough to let Bubbly’s parents know that they now had to send her away with a few lessons related to maintaining her husband’s dignity & taking care of his respect forever. Though Feeka was upset but once again Nasreen proved that she was being this over-protective mother that she is, doing everything to ensure her son’s happiness in the future.

I felt for Sunny so much, he knew that he crossed the line but he just didn’t expect that Bubbly would diss him because he always thought that no matter what he’d do, Bubbly will understand & appreciate his approach but sadly, that wasn’t the case this time. Nasreen’s arrow hit the bulls eye because now Bubbly was feeling ashamed & embarrassed at everything that happened & whatever Sunny did. Well, even though Bubbly ended things with him, he just couldn’t take no for an answer & tried his luck for the last time right before Bubbly was about to get engaged. Both the boys have this extreme love for Bubbly but who does Bubbly really love, that surely hasn’t been revealed. She did like Sunny & wanted to get married to him to escape Feeka but now she is going to get married to Feeka to protect her family’s name. Let’s see if this marriage takes place & will Bubbly get a chance to be with someone she well & truly loves?

This drama is just so interesting & makes a perfect weekend entertainer, especially now that it airs right after that boring Noor ul Ain, I have so much more appreciation for it. All the actors are doing such a wonderful job but Imran Ashraf steals the show, followed closely by Mohsin Abbas Haider. His emotional acting was just so convincing, like it’s not Feeka’s fault that he is so innocent & can’t really take a stand for himself, he just has been raised like that by a very strong & dominating woman like Nasreen, I just felt for him a lot. Sunny on the other hand knows how to fight his own battles but still he is losing at it because his lady love is not on his side. Their journeys are very different but interesting & both Imran Ashraf & Mohsin Abbas Haider are nailing it, I am sure no other actors could’ve done a better job. Ushna Shah is very cute & sweet as Bubbly as well. I just can’t wait to see more. The actor playing the role of Nazeer is amazing too, I enjoy his expressions the most & his presence in every scene is undeniable & same goes for the actor playing the role of Nikki, she is such a fine actor. The direction so far is just flawless. Please share your thoughts.

Lashkara Episode 4 Review – Power-Packed Performances!

Ohkay so, this episode of Lashkara was amazing. The way the story is progessing with so many intricacies is commendable & the way the director is bringing every little detail into the limelight, that too at the right time is sheer brilliance.

Who would have thought that the sight of seeing her father getting insulted & her brother emerging as a culprit will shake Bubbly to such an extreme that she will end up forsaking her biggest dream – her marriage to her ideal partner only to prove to be the saving grace of her family.

For the first time it seemed that Kulsoom was disappointed in Bubbly after the show Sunny put up at her house but I loved the way Muneer intervened & told her to let Bubbly be. Sadly, the loan sharks came looking for Iqbal & that entire fiasco further convinced Bubbly to do what it takes to save her family because she knew that Feeka’s mother Nasreen could definitely help them financially as this is what she promised while putting forth Bubbly’s proposal because I believe being their ex-neighbor, Nasreen was pretty well-aware of their financial condition & restraints too.

Well, Sunny decided to approach Feeka in order to intimidate him & to talk him out of his idea of marrying Bubbly. Sunny obviously thought that Bubbly rejected him because she was being pressurized by her family to say yes to Feeka’s proposal but Sunny obviously has no idea about the reasons why Bubbly refused him & has said yes to Feeka. I loved the way Nikki fought with Sunny while Feeka stood their silently, without any courage to speak up for himself. It was so amusing that when Sunny left after saying so much, that was when Feeka finally spoke like a man & dissed him.

Nikki obviously has clear issues with Bubbly but oh my, I must say, my favoriteee scene of this entire episode was when Nasreen shared her opinion about Bubbly & those guys who claimed to be her admirers. I love that Nasreen has this confidence, she is this self-sufficient woman who knows how everything has to be approached, that is why in stead of saying things about Bubbly, she spoke through her perspective in front of her own daughter. I am not sure if Nasreen’s interest in Bubbly is only because she is Feeka’s lady love or there’s something more to it. Definitely looking forward to find that out.

Nikki confronted Bubbly & she knew that Nikki was not going to go easy on her. Even though for the time being Bubbly dealt with her but she knows it is going to be a long battle. Bubbly & Feeka got engaged & even though it was Sunny whose heart broke & he even got insulted, there was also Nazeer who tried to play his little part too in order to stop this marriage from happening but alas! He is in no position to do anything! Masoom.

Bubbly ended things with Sunny but obviously he is not going to settle for no as an answer. It looks like this has turned into an ego issue fot him too but then he could also see that even Bubbly wasn’t too overjoyed & she was just compromising, though she may not see it. I loved that even Saima tried to play her part but Bubbly had a bigger picture in mind!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode as it was filled with power-packed performances. The story obviously has a lot more to offer & I can not wait to see it all. Brilliant acting by every single actor there. Loving this drama so far. Please share your thoughts.

Lashkara Episode 3 Review – Entertaining!

Ohkay so, it was yet another interesting episode of Lashkara. It is the sort of drama that is meant to entertain you while still having a strong storyline & substantial characters. The way the personalities of all the characters are being elaborated makes it even more interesting.

So, Bubbly left quite a good impression on Nasreen because of her honesty. Nasreen did approach Kulsoom for Bubbly’s proposal only because Feeka insisted & she being his mother didn’t want to break his heart but the little interaction that she had with Bubbly let her know that she is a kind-hearted girl who would be a perfect partner for Feeka. Feeka continued to be madly in love with Bubbly & despite knowing the sort of image Bubbly has, it still didn’t put a dent on the feelings that he had for her.

This time around, Feeka’s family dynamics got a detailed introduction. Feeka’s family has acquired this overnight wealth because Nasreen got involved in the property business. Feeka’s sister Nikki & her husband Akram finally made an appearance too. Nikki doesn’t hold a high opinion for Bubbly but amusingly she still was pretty ok with the fact that Feeka was fixated with her & that Nasreen had approached Bubbly’s family for his proposal. Nikki’s husband Akram has turned into a supervisor for all the family & household affairs of Nasreen & he is just treated as a worker around the house who really doesn’t have much say of his own. Nikki is the boss in their relationship because she now has a stronger back & Akram is someone who just follows her orders!

Kulsoom wasn’t overjoyed with Feeka’s proposal for Bubbly but still, she was seriously considering it because of Feeka’s wealth & social standing at this stage. Even though Bubbly said no, Kulsoom tried to talk her into this marriage because she being a practical woman could see how it would not only benefit Bubbly but also her brother Iqbal.

I actually got confused & thought Bubbly had a soft corner in her heart for Sunny, that is why she approached him & told him to send her proposal but in reality, she just wanted an escape from Feeka because she really could not see herself getting married to him. Sunny took things seriously & decided to do something for Bubbly but little did he know that a heart break was awaiting him!

I must say, I loved the way Muneer intervened & said no to Nasreen. Even though this proposal didn’t have any such flaws which would’ve resulted in refusal but only because Muneer saw that this was not what Bubbly wanted, he chose to respect his daughter’s choices, which was super sweet & very considerate. Also, in this entire matter, the way Saima took the front seat was a pleasant surprise. I am so glad that there’s more to Saima’s character & personality than just a bookworm who gets rejected every single time. Saima tried to knock sense into Bubbly that if she didn’t want to settle for Feeka then she most certainly didn’t deserve Sunny as well & I guess her speech actually worked because then it was made clear that Bubbly was not into Sunny but was just using him as a scapegoat. Also, the way Saima confronted Sunny was quite interesting too, I really didn’t see it coming. Sunny did put up quite a show at Bubbly’s house but he got his answer which broke his heart into million pieces because he never in his wildest dreams imagined that Bubbly would turn her back on him, that too in front of her family. Also, another interesting being who emerged as Bubbly’s savior was Nazeer & I couldn’t stop laughing at the courage that his feelings for Bubbly gave him because of which he was ready to outbid a strong personality like Sunny. It was amusing but it was adorable as well!

I loved watching this episode & couldn’t really keep a track of time because this episode ended quickly. There’s so much that meets the eye when you are watching Lashkara that apart from brilliant performances every single frame & scene seems so complete & offers you so many details to observe & enjoy. I must say the girl playing the role of Nikki was beyond perfect & totally in her element like it seemed that she was Nikki right from the beginning, that effortlessness & the finesse in her acting & dialogue delivery was phenomenal. I’m keen on seeing her character & how she will contribute to the overall story – really glad with her addition. I must say, all the dialogues are so enjoyable, Lashkara really is an entertaining package. Loving everyone’s performances so far, be it Saba Faisal, Saba Hameed, Noor ul Hassan, Ushna Shah, Imran Ashraf, Mohsin Abbas Haider or any of those supporting characters, they all are perfect.

Lashkara Episode 25 & 26 Story Review – Some Progress Finally

Opening Thoughts – Good Episodes:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Lashkara were good. Just when I was getting restless & losing my patience, the ticker of 2nd last episode motivated me to tune to Lashkara because for the last few weeks I was having a hard time watching it because neither the story was moving forward nor things were being wrapped but finally, this drama is ending, which is good!

Culprits Found:

Bubbly finally met someone who tried to put things into perspective. It sure is commendable how the writer has shown different stages of emotions that one goes through when they are faced with such a test. Bubbly lost her will to live but then, utmost attention & care brought her out of the extreme depression she was faced with. It is important to note that constant love, care & attention is what one needs to come out of any phase of life & Bubbly was lucky to have so many people around her telling her that nothing has changed in her or about her. Bubbly always had someone who would listen to her & that also played a major part in her recovery.

I liked how in the latest episode of Lashkara it was suggested that Bubbly’s Taya Jee saw a spark, a skill in her that he made sure she channelled out. Bubbly was feeling clueless all this while, even after she visited other acid attack victims, she still was demotivated but it was her Taya who saw what Bubbly could potentially be because she was good with fabrics, aesthetics & designing. She had it in her.

Lashkara Episode 25 & 26 Story Review - Some Progress Finally

Well, Sunny finally found out who the culprit was. Sunny got to know that it was Iqbal who did all of that. Indeed, the writer has highlighted the harsh reality where the same men who pose to be the flag bearer of dignity when it comes to their sisters, wouldn’t mind going to another exteme to earn a few bucks that too from the extended family of their sisters. Iqbal turned out to one such loser who couldn’t find a better way to earn money but then, he was not alone, Akram & Nikki were the main culprits & Iqbal ended up becoming their pawn. Bubbly had a lot of enemies & unfortunately, she couldn’t do anything about it.

Feeka did exactly what he could, obviously after being shattered & broken, after getting to know that everyone was involved in doing this to Bubbly he just didn’t have a better way of punishing them all by punishing himself. I am glad that he took Nasreen’s name & held her accountable as well for everything that happened because if Nasreen had kept things under control, especially Nikki, this wouldn’t have happened.

Closing Thoughts – Perfect Suspense:

Overall, these two episodes of Lashkara were good but I am actually glad that it is ending next week. The note at which this episode ended was quite interesting. I am actually looking forward to know what will happen to Feeka, the suspense has veen built nicely. Let’s see. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Lashakra.

Lashkara Episode 23 & 24 Story Review – Stagnant

Opening Thoughts – Stagnant:

Ohkay so, these episodes of Lashkara offered nothing new. Yes, it is good that they are showing how this incident literally changes everyone’s lives – be it the victim or those associated with the victim but then again, they have been making this point for quite some time now & I guess it’s time to move the story forward now. I don’t think strong performances alone can keep the interest of the viewers intact because despite the amazing acting, I found myself bored throughout these two episodes of Lashkara in particular!

Bubbly’s Ordeal:

Bubbly found the solution to her & everyone’s problems – she wants to die. Bubbly is shattered, she is broken & she is honest about it. Bubbly is not sugar-coating her feelings & she is not in a mood to listen to everyone’s pep-talk too because she is the victim here & only she knows what she is going through. Everything that Bubbly said to Nazeer, Feeka & Sheedan was understandable because Bubbly happens to be someone for whom her face & her beauty mattered a lot. Bubbly was never arrogant about it but yes, she loved herself, she loved her outer appearance & for someone like that to go through such a thing is like a death in itself.

Everyone else felt a lot for Bubbly too, her parents, Nasreen, Feeka, her cousin, her friend but again, they or their tears were not enough to make Bubbky feel loved or motivated enough to come out of this depression that she was faced it.

Lashkara Episode 23 & 24 Story Review - Stagnant

Even though I am not too happy with how stagnant things have become but I did like how they have shown everyone’s perspectives. Feeka was depressed & so was Sunny & then we had Nasreen who decided to seal a deal with Bubbly because she could not see Feeka ruining his life over something that happened with Bubbly.

Sunny did come clean but then Nikki has also gotten Feeka confused too. I wish to see some growth in Feeka’s character. He has gone through enough ups & downs in his life by now so he should put his sensibility to use because it’s a high time. Yes, Feeka loves Bubbly a lot but I think Sunny definitely would have proved to be a better partner for Bubbly, so much so that at this stage of the drama I don’t even mind Sunny’s obsession of winning Bubbly over.

Story Must Move Forward:

Overall, these two episodes were quite slow & stagnant. I think everyone has given superb performances & they have really proved a point that they are brilliant actors but that alone is not doing much. I definitely feel its about time that the story should move forward & the actual issue is dealt with. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Lashkara.

Lashkara Episode 22 Story Review – Intelligently Done

Opening Thoughts:

Ohkay so, this episode of Lashkara was quite intense & interesting. What I loved the most about this episode was how they showed the perspective of people involved from all the sides; the victim, the culprit, those who judge & also those who sympathize & support the victim going through the toughest time in her life. Lashkara surely has given a very mature & sensitive treatment to the subject of acid attack & have given a lot of consideration to shed a light on the intricacies related to the gentel treatment that the victims deserve. The drama makers should take a bow for presenting this subject in such a manner.

Developments:

Bubbly was scarred not only from the outside but from the inside too. Going through such a test that too when you have not wronged anyone is a nightmare & that is why despite having a support of everyone, Bubbly could not cope up with the reality. Everything that she said & felt was so realistically portrayed because it is not easy accepting the fact that your face won’t be the same anymore. It was quite nice of Bubbly to rule Sunny’s name out of the suspects because she knew he could not do something like that.

Feeka’s involvement & presence around Bubbly was nice to see too. Feeka was making sure to be there for Bubbly, be there to learn how he should treat her & help her in healing both from the outside & the inside while still having this storm inside him wanting to find out the culprit & punish him for doing this to the love of his life. All the things that doctors said were essential part of this subject which were conveyed loud & clear. Victims of acid attack need to know that they are loved for who they are, this is cruicial in order to help them deal with this ordeal.

CYMERA_20180925_001045

Sunny was also trying to put two & two together but I wish he & Feeka find the culprit to get the lead to Nikki & make her pay the price for what she has done. Akram & Nikki were on the same page but it seems Akram is done dealing with her too. Both Akram & Nikki should be punished & I wish they move the story to this aspect soon. The way Nikki was feeling restless went to show that somewhere it was the guilt that was not allowing her the peace of mind that she was looking for. Obviously, Nikki will never admit to this but though she might be scared of getting caught, more than that she was now feeling guilty of doing this to Bubbly. Akram only followed Nikki’s orders that is why his indifference seemed realistic. I liked how Nazeer continued to be Bubbly’s stan, her well-wisher, someone who has a lot of love & warmth in his heart for her. I love how he has this love for her which just shows everytime he comes in the picture.

Iqbal’s character is a depiction of those who in stead of worrying about their own people are concerned about what others are going to say. Salma & Sheedan’s continuous support for Bubbly is amazing to see. They genuinely feel for Bubbly & that is why take a stand for her when she falls apart or when anyone points a finger at her.

Closing Thoughts:

Overall, this episode of Lashkara was emotional & was perfectly executed. The credit goes to the director for extracting this acting out of all these actors & the credit goes to the actors too for performing to their full abilities. This subject definitely needed such performances to strike a chord & they have definitely succeeded in doing so. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Lashkara.

Lashkara Episode 20 & 21 Story Review – Well Executed!

Opening Thoughts:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Lashkara were intense & done well. Even though unexpectedly the story of Lashkara has turned out to be grim & based on a social issue, the makers have never once over-dramatized or sensationalized the subject which is a plus point & makes it not too heavy to watch.

Developments in The Episodes:

Just when Feeka & Bubbly were now starting afresh & dreaming for a humble yet happy life together, life threw a curve ball at them. Feeka’s love for Bubbly is getting challenged again & again & even though Feeka has bounced back & vowed to not repeat the same mistake of leaving Bubbly & he is standing by his word though, I feel Sunny is always one step ahead in loving Bubbly & proving it to or for her.

CYMERA_20180917_030253

Bubbly thought life won’t get unfair to her again as she has had her fair shares of troubles & hardships but little did she know that a bigger test was awaiting her. Even though if we take a general look on the story of Lashkara, it shows a typical household jealousy but the way it has been executed makes it far more different to what we usually get to see.

Nikki is evil. She is jealous & most importantly, she needs help. Nikki may have the right to hate Bubbly but she so didn’t have the right to do this to her. It is unforgivable & pure evil. I so wish in Lashkara, they show that despite being a female or a daughter of an affluent business woman, Nikki pays the price for even initiating this idea of harming Bubbly to this extent. Usually, in our dramas a man involved in unrequited love does this to the girl & gets punished so I want them to show that even a girl can go to jail for even plotting a crime as heinous as this against someone. Even though Nikki & Akram’s conversation made it obvious that it was Akram who either did it directly or got it done but it can not be denied that he did all of that only to please his wife – what a loser with zero personality & brains who is even ready to become a criminal only to get that validation from a psychotic like Nikki who he calls his wife. Nikki made it obvious to him that when the time will come, she might not protect him but whatever the case may be, I want them both to rot in jail!!!

CYMERA_20180917_030356

This recent episode of Lashkara didn’t cover the mental trauma a victim of an acid attack goes through, rather it showed how it takes a toll on the family members of those victims. It showed everything in detail which made it easier to feel their pain. The way they showed how media plays a role in sensationalizing such cases was spot on too. Saima once again took the front seat & set everyone straight. I wish Nasreen stands by her words & fulfils her promise that she made to her son regarding Nikki being the culprit. I think Nasreen still thinks Nikki is not capable of doing something like this but I hope her bubble bursts & she happens to be the one devising punishment for her mentally unstable daughter!

Closing Thoughts:

Overall, these two episodes were heavy but the treatment that the director has given to this subject & story makes it easier to watch. This episode again was laden with some amazing & heart wrenching performances & all of the actors have given their 100% to these roles. My favourite in this drama is Imran Ashraf for sure. I can bet no one could have played the role of Sunny the way he has. Just perfect. Mohsin Abbas Haider performed phenomenally as well, he showcased the disturbed mindset of Feeka to perfection too & Ushna Shah outdid herself in the scene where acid gets thrown on Bubbly’s face, her screams depicted the pain that one goes through, simply awesome. They all are such amazing actors, wow! Please share your thoughts about this episode of Lashkara.

Lashkara Episode 2 Review – Thoroughly Enjoyable!

Ohkay so, this episode of Lashkara was humorous as well as entertaining. Even though nothing happened much in this episode therefore it can be said that it was an extended version of the previous episode with a few more situations thrown in. The feel & the overall execution of this drama is refreshing & it just draws your attention to it perfectly.

So, subtly & slowly it was highlighted how Bubbly’s family also had their fair share of politics happening between them & the triggering factor which blew things out of proportion was Saima’s proposal which got forwarded to Bubbly. Even though Muneer was ashamed, Kulsoom didn’t seem concerned because for her, it was a validation that she invested her time & energies in the right thing as she got the answer that Bubbly’s future is secured because she is pretty & has a charming personality.

Saima’s parents were clearly upset & her mother especially blamed both Kulsoom & then Bubbly for snatching this opportunity away from Saima. It was nice to see Saima being the voice of reason & trying to advodate Bubbly’s position in front of her mother because yes, Saima was right, whatever happened wasn’t Bubbly’s fault & she didn’t deliberately leave such an impression on the suitor’s family which drew their attention towards her.

Kulsoom on the other hand found solace in Tayi’s suffering because she saw it as karma’s spin on her for looking down on Bubbly & seeing her as a nobody due to her lack of education. Muneer was genuinely sorry but unfortunately, his family is totally opposite to him in everything starting from perspectives to mentality.

Bubbly continued being herself & her attempt of making Saima happy was cute. Though Bubbly manipulates things to her advantage but she still is a sweet person from the inside. It is interesting to see how even though she doesn’t say anything to Sunny on those lines that she is interested in him but also doesn’t burst the bubble by stating the otherwise. It is like Bubbly likes to give Sunny this impression that she likes him but in reality, she only likes his undivided attention.

So, Nazeer ended up giving Bubbly the dress that belonged to someone else, obviously because he couldn’t say no to her. It is funny to see Nazeer thinking that he even stands a chance with Bubbly because right then & there Sunny forced him to wake up & smell the coffee that Bubbly was way out of his league & that she only belonged to Sunny.

Well, Bubbly enjoyed the wedding only to find out that Feeka’s mother Nasreen (Saba Hameed) recognized the suit that she was wearing because it belonged to her daughter. I must say it was interesting to see how Kulsoom was trying to do everything to cover up Bubbly’s blunder, like she wanted to save her from Taya & then Tayi’s taunts because she knew that this thing could escalate into something huge, giving Tayi another chance to take a dig at Bubbly. Kulsoom really takes pride in the fact that Bubbly is beautiful & carries herself well, that is why she made sure to compliment her after she returned from the wedding without even bothering about where did Bubbly arrange that dress from.

Well, Nasreen approached Kulsoom & Bubbly & then said something which caught them off-guard. Nasreen asked for Bubbly’s hand for her son Feeka they both couldn’t believe what Nasreen had just said. Even though the main focus of that scene was on the proposal, I must say I loved the way it was highlighted that Bubbly, despite being afraid, was ready to own her mistake as she didn’t want Nazeer to take the brunt of it. It shows how Bubbly will never deceive anyone or let them be mistreated because of her own mistakes. Though people might see Bubbly for her beauty & outer appearance & even though the entire focus has been on this aspect but I like that the writer has created such situations which give us a chance to learn more about her character & nature.

Feeka’s obsession with Bubbly was funny. Also, now that he has this wealth, it is interesting to see how he is using it to keep his eye on Bubbly. Sunny on the other hand also tried to arrange a selfie but things just didn’t go his way. I must say, I like how all of this is shown as harmless kind of obsession with Bubbly, like Sunny keeps on talking about how others have her pictures or videos but no one sees it as something to be frowned upon, not even Bubbly herself or Sunny who is supposedly possessive about her or even Feeka who sees her as his future wife.

Overall, this episode was quite interesting & I had a great time watching it. I am keen on seeing the animosity between Sunny & Feeka because they both have called dibs on Bubbly, let’s see who will win her over in the end. Ushna Shah is adorable as Bubbly, Mohsin Abbas Haider has made Feeka look creepily cute & Imran Ashraf is the perfect choice as Sunny, I just couldn’t stop laughing at his Punjabi accent English lesson, lol! Loving the direction & overall situation so far. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Lashkara.

Lashkara Episode 19 – Review Story !

Ohkay so, as much as I hoping that wasn’t the case, the preview of the next episode confirmed the spoiler alert that I got from some genius last week about Bubbly & her misfortune. I so hoped that things will become better & only better in her life but looks like this story is about something entirely different altogether, which now I don’t mind considering the sort of treatment the team will give to that subject. I must say, it is commendable that the drama-makers kept the actual deal under wraps & if it wasn’t for the precap, I am sure no one could’ve guessed where the story is headed & what it really is about.

Feeka succeeded in convincing Bubbly that he wanted their marriage to work. Bubbly was unsure & she had the right to be because of what he put her through. To be honest, apart from Muneer, I didn’t really get touched by other’s reactions, not even Kulsoom’s because even she was mad at Bubbly for leaving Feeka’s house without bothering to know about what the circumstances were that pushed her to that limit. I was wondering if it wasn’t for Sunny, no one would have believed Bubbly, not Feeka, not even her parents. Sigh!

Lashkara Episode 19

Well, Nasreen tried to bring Feeka back but looks like he has made up his mind as he knows that he has zero tolerance left for Nikki & Nasreen chooses not to let her go. Feeka’s belief in himself for the first time was nice to see. He didn’t bother about anything else but only kept Bubbly as his priority & for the first time he has this faith in himself that he will do what it takes to make things works for himself & his wife, without the support or security blanket provided by his mother which is a huge change that Feeka has brought in himself considering how he never was the one to take such decisions before.

Lashkara Episode 19

Sunny may have proved his love to Bubbly & though things must have been done & dusted for her but as far as Sunny is concerned, things are far from being over. Sunny has a storm brewing up in his mind & he is not giving up. I thought after the pep talk Bubbly gave to him, Sunny will let go of her but no, he doesn’t intend to & with Chitta Jee’s reminders, it does look like his obsession for Bubbly will take an ugly turn but you never know, it could be Feeka too.

I must say just the glimpse of the actual scene in the precap sent shivers down my spine so I really can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to see it actually happening in the next episode. I am interested to see how this entire subject will be dealt with because of its sensitive nature. The writer deserves to be commended to bring us a story of this sort & show it in such a convincing manner because the victims of acid attack do exist in our society & survive this battle alone or at times with some support. Imran Ashraf took the crown in this episode, the way he has elaborated the disturbed mental & emotional state of Sunny, I can only say he is a gifted actor. Well done!!! Please share your thoughts.

Lashkara Episode 18 Story Review – Finally!

Ohkay so, finally this episode of Lashkara not only took the story but also exposed the truth in front of everyone. As much as I am happy that now the truth has surfaced, I will still say that I am disappointed in Bubbly because she didn’t do what she was supposed to!

The writer added the touch of honor & dignity that is usually associated with the females of the house in this episode. Iqbal’s outburst & then Sheeda & Saima’s counter argument in order to defend Bubbly was a depiction of that. I really don’t think the entire Qandeel Baloch reference was required or added any weight to their argument because even without it, what they were advocating was right & made a lot of sense. Nasreen told everything to Taya Jee & that’s when the hell broke loose in Muneer’s house but then again, I didn’t feel for Muneer because of his dejected state of mind, I felt bad for him because his daughter was not telling him the truth that he was entitled to know.

Sunny spoke to Bubbly & he decided to prove his love to her by doing right by her because he was the one who ruined her life, so it was good to see him taking the responsibility of fixing everything. Even though the preview of the next episode suggests that Sunny has an ulterior motive & he won’t let go of Bubbly easily but still, at least what he did cleared the mess up. Sunny knew he had to go to some level of extreme to get the truth out of Nikki but it was Akram who spilled the beans. Akram proved that he loves Nikki because he couldn’t stand the idea of Sunny causing any harm to her. Nikki really has travelled afar in her hatred for Bubbly & her love for Tipu that she has not given a sincere chance to Akram who actually happens to be a nice guy. Akram loves Nikki just the way she is, he does everything that she says, may be its his way of getting Nikki to love him but that hasn’t happened yet. The day Nikki will let go of her past will be the day when she will see that Akram is a devoted husband & eventually she will find her happiness in him!

Feeka found out the truth & went to see Bubbly so that he could apologize to her as well as her entire family. In this entire scenario, I have felt a lot of sympathy for Feeka & everyone else except Bubbly because she chose to turn into a forced bechari who couldn’t help herself whereas in reality, there was so much she could do like telling the truth to her parents for starters!

Well looks like things are going to get back to normal in Bubbly Feeka’s marital life for now but don’t know what other curveballs await for them. I really hope they push through & stick together forever. Acting & direction for sure is top-notch, I just hope the pace doesn’t slow down again. Please share your thoughts!
