Upcoming Pakistani Dramas Starring Big Names

Upcoming Pakistani Dramas Starring Big Names – There are so many new dramas which the viewers look forward to every year, at the end of every season. Sometimes, the reason for this is that these dramas star their favorite actors and they are directed and written by the best people in the business. There are also those actors who choose the projects they work in really carefully which is why every time they are seen working on a new project, it instantly grabs the attention of the viewers. There are also certain topics which are rarely touched upon in dramas therefore whenever a drama is based on a story which highlights such issues, viewers want to see what the drama makers have to offer. Then there are those dramas with promos so enticing that you can’t help but look forward to them.

Well, one thing is for sure, every drama with a star cast does not guarantee quality entertainment – Aangan being one such recent example. But it is also a fact that people do tune into such dramas at least initially to find out what such dramas have to offer. There are some celebrities who do sell the dramas with their names therefore people watch their dramas just because they are a part of it.

Here are some upcoming dramas with a star cast and then there are those which promise to offer something different. The list is in Alphabetical order.

Alif

Drama serial Alif can easily be termed as the most awaited drama of this year. This drama is based on a popular novel written by Umera Ahmed, the drama has been produced by one of the biggest production houses in the country under the banner of Epic Entertainment.

Alif3

Alif has been directed by Haseeb Hassan and this is a project he is particularly proud of. The drama has been shot in Pakistan and Turkey and it has a star-studded cast. Hamza Ali Abbasi, Sajal Aly, Kubra Khan, Ahsan Khan, Osman Khalid Butt, Sadaf Kanwal, Saleem Mairaj, Javed Sheikh, Samina Peerzada are some of the big names which will seen playing major roles in Alif. The latest news is that Alif will air after Eid.

Hamza Ali Abbasi is excited about this particular project because of the message in this drama. Sajal Aly is equally thrilled to be part of this project. Iqrar-ul-Hassan’s son Pehlaaj Hassan will also be making his acting debut with this drama.

Bheegei Palkein

Bheegei Palkein is Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas’ next drama together, although all their dramas together have been more tragic than anything else but there are many viewers who are looking forward to this project, hoping that this time around, these two will get their happy ending! Apart from Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas, Saba Faisal will also be playing a primary role in the drama. This drama has been directed by Ahmed Bhatti and is an iDream Production. Not much has been revealed about it, apart from the fact that it will be airing on ARY. A drama with the same title also aired on Aplus few years back starring Faysal Qureshi and Ushna Shah.

Damsa

Nadia Jamil is one of my favorite actors not just because of the fact that her acting is so natural but also because she is such a wonderful person who always works in projects which serve a bigger purpose. Nadia Jamil isn’t seen on screen very often so that is another reason why her fans look forward to her projects. In her own words Damsa is going to be, ” the most legendary dramas Pakistan will ever see.” Nadia Jamil also believes that Damsa is the kind of drama that “can truly make a difference in the world.”

Nadia Jamil is truly excited about this project which will be airing on ARY Digital. When someone like her believes so much in a project, there is no reason not to watch it. The drama will highlight the issue of child trafficking.

Jhooti

Jhooti is an upcoming drama serial starring Ahmed Ali Butt, who is known for his wit and comic timing but this time around he will be seen playing a serious role alongside Iqra Aziz, who won the viewers over completely with her performance in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. Sharing details about his character and the story in general, Ahmed Ali Butt said that he will be playing the role of a shop owner, a man who works hard to make ends meet but is in a troubled marriage because his wife (Iqra Aziz) is a compulsive liar.

Jhooti

Ahmed Ali Butt will hence be the perfect husband who has to cope with a complicated relationship. The play has been written by Ali Moeen, directed by Ramish Rizvi and also stars Asma Abbas, Abid Ali and Yasir Hussein. It would be interesting watching Ahmed Ali Butt in a serious role but I also hope that this won’t be another Balaa since while talking to The News, Ahmed Ali Butt shared, “There are some major shockers in the play and how my character is affected by them.” The most interesting bit is that so far only Ahmed Ali Butt has been talking about this drama and Iqra Aziz has not shared her views at all!

Mere Pass Tum Ho

Mere Pass Tum Ho’s script has been written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, it has been directed by the iconic director Nadeem Baig and this drama has been produced by Six Sigma Plus. Humayun Saeed and Ayeza Khan will be playing leading roles in Mere Pass Tum Ho. Asad Siddiqui, Hira Mani and Asad Khan will also be seen playing supporting roles in the drama. Mere Pass Tum Ho will be airing on 17th August on ARY Digital. The promos are already out and even though these promos are giving Mere Khawab Reza Reza and Khasara feel but it is good to see Humayun Saeed playing a role which seems quite similar to the one he played in Doraha – a lower middle class man who is doing his best to keep it all together.

Humayun Saeed was absolutely brilliant as Mohid in Dillagi therefore watching him play another role in which he is head over heels with his wife would be a treat. Ayeza Khan will be playing the thankless and greedy wife, definitely not a new character but the fact that Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has written the script and Nadeem Baig has directed this play is bound to make a huge difference. I am looking forward to this play and even with the been-there-seen-that feel, Mere Pass Tum Ho’s promos have a definite appeal.

Prem Gali

Drama serial Prem Gali is Aangan’s sequel, it will have some of the old characters and few new ones but the central theme will more or less be the same. This script is really close to Faiza iftikhar’s heart, it has been directed by the same director who was behind Aangan i.e Qasim Ali Mureed and it has been produced by Six Sigma Plus. Farhan Saeed and Sohai Ali Abro are the latest addition in this sequel.

prem gali

The team Prem Gali is not revealing a lot of details about the rest of the cast or the story but the fact that this is the sequel of one of the best dramas we have seen in recent times makes it one of the most promising upcoming dramas. The shooting for the drama has only started but it is definitely the kind of drama which would be worth the wait.

Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly’s Yet-To-Be-Titled Play

Ahad Raza Mir, Sajal Aly, Adnan Siddiqui, Masroor Paras and Mira Sethi will also be seen ‘very soon’ in Farhat Ishtiaq’s next drama which is going to be a romance thriller but not much has been revealed about this project yet. The fans would surely want to see Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly together once again in a romantic play. Ahson Talish has directed this play and in an interview he said, ” “It’s a beautifully written story by Farhat Ishtiaq. It’s being produced by MD Productions and Ahad, Sajal and Adnan [Siddiqui] are the main characters. It’s a romantic thriller which we shot up in Islamabad and Shogran and will tentatively come out end of July, beginning August on Hum TV.”

Maya Ali Has A Crush On Shehryar Munawwar

The new on-screen couple of Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar has been in the news for their upcoming movie Paray Hut Love which is releasing on Eid al Azha, this year. Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar are heavily promoting their movie, not only on different channels and talk shows but also on their social media handles.

Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar’s friendship is budding and they both are seen interacting with each other over their social media posts all the time. Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar appeared in Bol Nights With Ahsan Khan recently to promote Paray Hut Love and when asked, Maya Ali didn’t shy away from confessing that she had a crush on Shehryar Munawwar. This has given a new dimension to the way people are viewing their friendship with each other. While working together, it was natural for them to become closer and friendlier with each other but now, it is worth noticing whether their open and frequent interactions has another meaning to it or not. Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar are seen constantly praising each other and they seem too friendly and comfortable with each other, be it on-screen or off-screen.

Shehryar Munawwar has recently unfollowed his fiancee Hala Soomro’s instagram account and rumour has it that may be he has called this engagement off.

Are Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar the new potential couple, only time will tell but for now, they have invited all kinds of speculations towards themselves. Maya Ali has always been very friendly and cordial with all of her co-actors, be it Osman Khalid Butt or Ali Zafar, so her friendship with Shehryar Munawwar was coming naturally to her fans but now with her recent confession, everyone is speculating if Shehryar Munawwar is more than just a friend to Maya Ali. They have everyone thinking that may be the reason behind Sheheyar drifting away from his fiancee Hala is this new formed relationship with Maya Ali?

Veteran actor Firdous Jamal, who has recently seen in TV serials ’Romeo weds Heer’ and ’Hania’ threw some major shades at gorgeous Mahira Khan. In an interview with Faisal Qureshi, Firdous Jamal was asked to make a comment about Mahira khan to which he said that she is a mediocre actress. According to him, Mahira was overage for a heroine. He also added that she should start playing the role of a mother and not the main heroine.

Faisal Quershi was shocked to hear such rude comments from Firdous Jamal but stayed quiet because Firdous was a senior actor and he didn’t want to disrespect any of his guests. Although he didn’t react on the show, he took to Twitter to disassociate himself from Firdous Jamal’s comments.

He said that he and his show had nothing to do with Firdous Jamal’s opinion. It was his personal thoughts but for Faisal, Mahira Khan is a superstar. He said that he praised Mahira 1000 times on his show but no one noticed that!

Firdous Jamal has come under fire for his remarks. Many actors support him but there are many who are on Mahira’s side. What are your thoughts about the whole story? Who do you support, Mahira or Firdous?

Inkaar Episode 22 Story Review – Another Dead End

This was another well paced episode of Inkaar which covered every little detail and emotion with utmost precision. The performances and the execution never disappoint and the script throughout has been faultless. Just when Hajra and Shayan thought that their ultimate sacrifice will prove to be a good trade-off, the other side exercised their influence and the balance of power shifted in their favor. Imran Ashraf’s performance tonight too was on point and Yumna Zaidi has done exceptionally well throughout. This drama continues to be real but never gets too dark since there is always hope that things will eventually work in Hajra’s favor.

The Conflicts

Every episode of this drama shows the characters in some conflicting situation. The manner in which these characters deal with these conflicts reveals more about their personalities. Shayan’s unconditional love for Hajra continues to be the most admirable aspect of his personality. This episode opened with a scene which showed Hajra struggling – saying yes would have meant letting her mother down and putting her brother’s life in danger and saying no would have meant going against her heart’s desire and not fulfilling the promise she made to her father. Hajra ultimately said yes after her father in a way reminded her of the promise she had made. This scene was directed so well, Hajra’s hesitation, her father’s strength and her mother’s breakdown – all of these made perfect sense.

I also loved the way Shayan asked Hajra if she entered into this nikkah with her own consent or was it because of her father’s pressure. On the one hand we have a man like Rehan, who doesn’t know the first thing about consent and on the other hand we have a man like Shayan who doesn’t want the woman who he loves so dearly to be in his life without her free consent. It was Hajra’s reply which gave Shayan even more strength and later on The conditions Rehan set for Jawad’s release made Shayan in particular do something he was never willing to do.

Honestly speaking, I am glad that Shayan’s father was not able to help him and ultimately this case will be decided in the court. This meant that Shayan and Hajra were free to be together, live their lives the way they wanted to and fight this war together.

Inkaar Episode 22

Change In Rehan’s Personality

Rehan is no longer the ‘love stricken’ desperate man he was before. The way he insulted Hajra and asked for an apology on social media clearly showed that he was now more influenced by his stepmother than ever before. He wants Hajra to look bad in front of the world while he automatically becomes the victim. Rehan’s character has been etched-out so well, he is twisted and disturbed, he has no values and no conscience and surely someone like him could only do something as horrific as he did to Hajra. Imran Ashraf has been outstanding as Rehan especially in these past few weeks. He makes you understand and relate to his character and as a consequence you can’t help but hate Rehan Chaudhry. He also helps the viewers understand the mindset of all such men who think they own the women who are or have ever been with them.

Final Remarks & The Preview

The attention to detail and the pace of this show has been superb throughout. The war between politics and bureaucracy was also covered in a realistic and interesting manner in this episode. The preview of the next episode was especially exciting! I was pretty sure that sooner or later, this case was going to go the court and that is where the story is headed. I am also hoping that at some point the CCTV footage will surface and that will make Hajra’s case stronger. Rehan’s frustration and the judge’s remarks in the preview of the next episode showed that this time around things will work in Hajra’s favor.

How many of you watched tonight’s episode? Do share your thoughts about it.

Hamza Ali Abbassi, Shaan Shahid and Veena Malik have taken twitter trend of #KashmirBleeds to next level. The celebrities have been found tweeting some serious fact and figures about on going lynching of Kashmiris.

It seems that our Superstars have decided to contribute for a better cause than just social media cat fights where Veena Malik as always blatantly shown the Middle finger to India for Kashmiris literally won our hearts and caused hurt to Indian public.

Where as Shaan Shahid tweeted Modi’s picture taking bath in Ganges and purifying the sins.

Also he said,

“Our family has been spreading the message of #freeKashmir from the brutalities of India since 1971.”

He urged celebrities to join the cause just right now,

Top 5 Recent Pakistani Dramas Which Highlighted Important Issues

Dramas entertain and enlighten at the same time, the media in general and the dramas in particular can play a major role in changing mindsets and highlighting issues which are considered tabooed. There are also those sections of our society which are largely put into boxes and some of these dramas challenge stereotypes in the most impeccable manner. while some drama focus specifically on subjects and scenarios which guarantee commercial success, there are others which have a definite focus and a bigger purpose. Unfortunately, there are also those dramas which are promoted as issue-based dramas but the actual intent is to grab the attention of the viewers by using topics such as sexual abuse and domestic violence. Sadly enough, most of the times these dramas which simply ‘use’ these serious issues to grab public attention get more viewership than those dramas which actually deliver what they promised.

Through this article I want to appreciate the efforts of all those writers, directors and actors who chose to be part of projects which were ‘risky’ and succeeded in highlighting issues which are crucial and relevant. Anyone can play it safe and win TRPs but it takes someone truly dedicated to write about topics which are controversial and tabooed.

Here is the list of the most phenomenal recent Pakistani dramas which highlighted important issues. The list is in Alphabetical order.

Baba Jani

Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Ali Faizan Anchan
Producer: Connect Studios

Baba Jani questioned many stereotypes and gave the viewers an unconventional hero. The viewers get to see plenty of dramas which highlight the plight of women – the challenges they face and how hard it gets for women to juggle so many different things at the same time. Baba Jani was one of the very few dramas which showed how challenging it was for a man to keep a balance when he was being pressurized from every direction. The best aspect of this play was that it showed a man who actually managed to keep it all together unlike other dramas which very often show that a man in such a situation sometimes ends up being unfair to his parents/siblings and most often to his wife and children.

Top 5 Recent Pakistani Dramas Which Highlighted Important Issues

This drama also showed how this man, Asfand, raised his step-daughter as his own even though he was under great pressure. Baba Jani also highlighted the role of the society and how people make things more difficult for others by gossiping about things which don’t concern them. The way his sisters’ role was shown was also important because it must have given all such sisters something to reflect upon. Do we expect too much from our brothers and sons sometimes? Men are always expected to be strong, to be the support system of the entire family but is it really easy for them to keep a balance? Well, Baba Jani raised all these questions and answered them beautifully too. This drama also presented an example for all those men out there who very often expect their wives to compromise and fail to keep the balance.

Inkaar

Writer: Zafar Mairaj
Director: Kashif Nisar
Producer: MD Productions

Inkaar is one of the most phenomenal dramas of recent times because of its approach towards issues which are not just relevant but have also been put forward in the most convincing manner. This drama has so much to offer since every issue raised in this drama has been addressed in detail. The central idea of this drama is to highlight the importance of consent in a relationship. Very often we see rape victims being held accountable for the injustice done to them because they were raped by the man who was their ‘friends’. Apart from this, Inkaar also highlights a woman’s right to choose her own spouse, her prerogative to say no when she deems it fit. This drama has beautifully shown how important it is for girls to take a stand for themselves even when they feel that they will face opposition and oppression.

Top 5 Recent Pakistani Dramas Which Highlighted Important Issues

Inkaar is not the first drama which has dealt with such an issue but it is definitely the first one which has done so with utmost precision. The writer has done a special favor to his viewers by making them understand why men like Rehan think that they ‘own’ the women/girls they are in a relationship with. It also highlights the importance of nurturing – no one is born evil, the way someone is brought up plays a major role in defining their personalities. This drama also shows how important it is for the families to support girls who have been wronged and it does so while keeping things real. Inkaar raises issues, highlights mindsets and is also inspirational.

Mera Rab Waris

Writer: Jahanzeb Qamar
Director: Asad Jabbal
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment

Mera Rab Waris can easily be termed as a commercial play but the main protagonist of this play and the way her trials have been shown highlights an important and relevant issue. All those women out there who observe strict pardah can probably relate to whatever Ayesha has gone through and is going through since right from the first episode her pardah has been the main topic of discussion. The way Ayesha sticks to her values, is sure about her choices and tries her best to remove stereotypes has been the best part of a drama which isn’t as good as rest of the dramas in this list but definitely deserves a spot here. Social stereotyping is something which most women face on daily basis, most often based on what they choose to wear. There aren’t a lot of dramas which address such issues. This drama does so with precision and shows the vulnerabilities and strengths of the main protagonist beautifully making the story more relatable. It shows that sometimes women who observe pardah and have a certain set of values face more challenges than women who decide to follow a path which more acceptable socially. This drama also shows the hypocrisy of the society and their inability to accept individual choices.

Top 5 Recent Pakistani Dramas Which Highlighted Important Issues

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi

Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Kashif Nisar
Producer: MD Productions

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was an exceptional play which was both entertaining as well as educational. Through this play and the character Bhola, the writer told the story of all such people out there who are most often ignored by people because there are certain stereotypes attached to them. People with special needs who are often seen on the streets are most often scorned off or are treated as individuals who are void of feelings. By introducing a man with special needs in this drama in such a way that people couldn’t help falling in love with him, the team of this play changed this perception forever. This drama also highlighted how people with such needs or disabilities also need acceptance and love, just like everyone else out there. Therefore, when they are rejected, they feel hurt just like anyone else would.

Top 5 Recent Pakistani Dramas Which Highlighted Important Issues

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was truly one-of-a-kind drama which redefined the term ‘hero’ and in a very intelligent manner asked people to have more empathy for people like Bhola. This was dangerous territory for sure but Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was a commercial success and it got critical acclaim as well.

Zun Mureed

Writer: Amna Mufti
Director: Ahmed Kamran
Producer: Moomal Entertainment

Zun Mureed was a different journey altogether. This was not the first time that a drama which dealt with the problems which women face in a male dominated society was made. This was however the first time that a writer attempted and succeeded in shedding light on the issue that making laws is not enough, ensuring that they get implemented swiftly and most importantly changing the mindset of the people is the biggest challenge. The main protagonist Tabbasum’s journey throughout showed that she had more critics than supporters. On the other hand, there were so many people who endorsed what her husband Sajjad did. This drama showed how important it was for women to respect themselves and not to allow their spouses to abuse them in any way.

zun mureed

There was an important message for men in this drama too and it was one which most certainly was not easy to accept. This is the reason why this drama was criticized a lot too! Relationships come first and ego comes second, if people start sacrificing their relationships to satisfy their egos than the fate which awaits their children was clearly shown in this drama. For all those receptive viewers out there, this drama had a great deal to offer. This was the kind of drama which raised quite a few important questions but at the same answered some too! I truly appreciate the way it was shown how the children get affected in such a situation. Children need their parents to work together in order to run the house and make them feel secured. So many stereotypes were challenged in Zun Mureed and the mentality behind hitting women was explored as well. The most important aspect was that the last episode highlighted how vital equality and respect was in a marriage.

Do share your thoughts about the dramas in this list and don’t forget to add more names of recent dramas which highlighted an important message with utmost clarity. I will look forward to your feedback.

7 Scenes In Cheekh Where Bilal Abbas Khan Stole The Show

Starting his acting career in 2016, Bilal Abbas Khan in a short period of three years has arguably become one of the most talented actors in the industry, ruling the hearts of Pakistani drama lovers with his stylish looks and fine acting. He has received the award for the Best Actor in Social Media Awards for Balaa and has always received many praises for his work.

bilal Abbas in Cheekh 2

This time around this good-looking celebrity chose to use his devil-may-care looks to play the antagonist in ARY Digital’s currently aired drama serial ‘Cheekh’. The serial has kept the audience gripped to its storyline from the very first episode, and Bilal Abbas Khan is one of the biggest reasons for its success. 28 episodes down, there are numerous scenes which are a visual example of his excellent acting skills, making us hate Wajih to the core, yet appreciate the convincing skills displayed by Bilal Abbas Khan.

Here are some of the scenes where Bilal single handedly stole the show:

1. The Sudden Transition from a Doting Brother, to a Murderer:

6th episode is whenWajih confessesto being Nayab’s murderer in front of his bhabiMannat and his character within a second switches from a loveable hero, to the villain. It is surely one of the most intense and intriguing scenes of the serial till date. It requires a lot of acting precision to show this change within a single scene, and the anger, ego and lust in Wajihwas nailed by Bilal. His dialogue delivery in addition was a cherry on the top.

2. The Moment he Calmly Bribes Nayab’s Frustrated Father

Just after the truth gets revealed, there is a humongous change in innocent’s Wajih’s personality, whose presence only is generating negative vibes now. A part in episode 7 where Wajih goes to Ramzan Ahmed’s house to bribe them to stay quiet, caught our attention. Ramzan Ahmed is furiously shouting at him, asking him to leave, calling him a murderer,andWajihin return is absolutely calm. Unperturbed, he just keeps increasing the amountof money, knowing how it’ll be easy to manipulate Nayab’s step-mother with it. The scene showcases aspectacular performance by Bilal. The way he is unruffled and composed throughout, all the while managing to radiate an evil energy from him, is acting on-point!

3. A Silent Wajih with Black Ink Smeared all over him:

A scene in the same episodearrives whenRamzan Ahmedsneakily gets into their house and throws black ink on Wajih’s face before running away. The scene has no dialogues from Wajih, but the anger in his eyes is enough to grasp the audience’s attention and nonverbally perfectly communicate his sentiments at the moment. If you watch it, you wouldn’t be able to take your eyes off him!

4. Wajih – the Blackmailer

The best thing about Bilal Abbas Khan is that the versatility in his acting can be witnessed easily in any particular scene: where at the beginning of the episode he might seem like the sweetest person on earth, the scene progresses and his reality comes forth in a brilliant show of acting excellence.
An example can be seen in episode 17 and 18, where the innocent looking Wajih with the help of his naïve looks successfullyfoolsMannat’s mother and locks her inside a store room. Wajih turns into a terrifying blackmailer, and his expressions can literally generate shivers in you!

5. Killing Mannat’s Child

Bilal has managed to depictWajih as the most heartless creature that can ever exist. The chunk in Episode 19 where Wajih drives behind Mannat, resulting in her fall and the eventual miscarriage was painful to the core, but Wajih’spitiless nature is highlighted perfectly.

bilal Abbas in Cheekh 8

6. The Turning of Tables For Wajih

The antagonist of the serial and the man with nerves of steel, moving towards the end of the serial cracks up as well, showing transition in his personality a third time in one drama serial! Not just a scene, but the whole of episode 26 is a visual representation of it. Wajih unintentionally killing his brotherbrings a drastic change in his demeanor and the confession of this murder in front of Yawar is surely a scene that many of us have watched twice! The agony in him for the loss of his brother, mixed with the villainous vibe in his character is a trait very difficult to pull off, and Bilal Abbas Khan totally stole the show with it.

7. Frustration and Worry Finally Catches Up to Wajih

Before episode 28 was aired, we had witness all kinds of expressions from Wajih – cute concern, indifference, villainous attitude, and even fear. The one thing we never imagined on his face, was to see worry. And we finally get to see it then moment he gets to know that his elder brother, his one support, has gotten paralyzed. That’s where we see an unexpected helplessness and love from Wajih for his brother, and the contrast in his personality was mesmerizing to watch.

With Cheekh now moving towards itsconclusion, the viewers anxiously are waiting to see how justice will be served. Bilal with his phenomenal performance has made Wajih the biggest antagonist of the year.

Osman Butt has some valid points about Mahira-Firdous issue

0

Banning an actor sets dangerous example- said Osman Khalid Butt

osman foto

Butt posted a lengthy note on twitter on this whole controversy. After Momina Duraid swear to never work with actor Firdous Jamal for his comments about Mahira Khan, the actor tweeted about this. In his tweet, he shared his feelings that banning actors for their opinions set a very dangerous example.

“Because than your outrage cannot remain selective.”

Butt took on this matter by saying, “Banning an actor for his opinion, however, distasteful said opinion might be, sets a rather dangerous precedent. Because then your outrage cannot remain selective,” he wrote, reminding his colleagues that they have all been on talk shows where they’ve been asked to rate their peers’ acting skills, fashion sense and personality. “This isn’t the first-time clips have trended where controversial statements have been made, and it won’t be the last.”

osman

“Unless this culture of (consciously or subconsciously) pitting actor against actor ends. If we stop giving fodder to gossip columns, refuse to indulge in these pictorial ‘assessments’, if instead of being at each other’s throats we show a united, welcoming front,” he added further.

And he isn’t suggesting lying through their teeth when it comes to publicly sharing their opinion, but criticism can be constructive instead of flagrantly dismissive, no?

Osman added, “Problematic behavior should and must be called out. But you cannot play at extremes either way.”

He concluded, “And finally, because this is important, I’ll quote something I read on a comic strip once: ‘freedom of speech doesn’t shield you from criticism or consequences.’ Choosing not to work with someone because of their opinions is not a violation of their free speech rights. Dismissing their contribution to our industry, though, is regrettable,”

Maya Ali opened up about her struggle with family

When I started working in the industry, my father didn’t speak to me for straight 8 years- said Maya Ali

maya 2

Maya Ali is a Pakistani actress, model and VJ, mostly known for her roles in Pakistani television serials. She made her film debut with 2018 action drama film Teefa in trouble opposite Ali Zafar.

Maya Ali has recently spoke to BBC Asian Network and shared her struggles with her family to get approval for working in industry. When I joined industry, my father stopped talking to me for 8 years, I miss that factor. I wish he would talk to me, he would get mad at me, anything. I remember I would say ‘Baba Assalamalaikum, and he’d never even reply’

She requested to all parents and said,’ I’m not saying your child only wants to become an actor. If they want to do something else, please let them do it. I beg of you. Give them a chance to do what they want. Don’t let your child regret that they only had that chance. Because time waits for no one and that’s when there’s a regret in life for the children.’

She further said before her father died, he came to peace with her career choice.

‘I wish he was there, he would appreciate me. I remember 6 months before, before he died. He just said one thing to me, I couldn’t win an award for Diyar-e-dil, he said it’s okay beta, next year you’ll win it for Man Mayal. I won the award next year, but he wasn’t there to celebrate it with me.’

She also added, “My mum has always been supportive of me but, Baba just wanted me to prove myself to him. I just wanted to show him myself playing roles through the screen but, the fact that he said you will win the award next year, that was enough for me.”

Cheekh Episode 29 Story Review – Good Episode

Opening Thoughts – Good Episode After Weeks:

Ohkay so, this episode of Cheekh was interesting. I have now developed an interest in this drama because I am so glad that it is finally ending. Also, it is good that they have started wrapping the story up in this episode, which means that the last episode won’t seem too rushed or illogically paced.

Wajih Is Bound To Doom:

Mannat had finally made up her mind that she will draw Wajih crazy. Mannat is not alone, she now has Shariq’s support too. At first I thought Shariq was doing all of that on his own but as the episode progressed, it was made clear that both Shariq & Mannat had joined hands to bring Wajih behind bars. Mannat has fabricated her entire plan with a lot of thought & detailing, which is nice. I wish instead of showing that everything was just happening out of whim, they had shown Mannat actually planning something properly. A conversation with Shariq would have sufficed too.

Shariq decided to give Wajih a taste of his own medicine by teasing him that he was going to harm Haya. That was actually a nice twist because I didn’t actually think that SHariq will later get married to Haya. Shariq did get married because he knew that Haya was innocent & that she needed some security as one of her brothers passed away, the other one got paralyzed & the youngest was now going to go behind bars. Haya got married & she totally understood the reasons why Shariq did that little act to actually make Wajih realize how Nayab must’ve felt too. Yawar is guilty & he is full of regrets but he knows that he is paying the price for supporting a criminal like Wajih.

So, slowly & steadily, just because everyone has realized that Wajih should be punished, they all have now started supporting Mannat. Saleem, Sadiq, Shariq are working alongside Mannat to help her accomplish her mission of not only driving Wajih crazy but punishing him too so that he pays the price for the heinous crime that he has committed. Wajih has also started to realize that things are turning against him but he was still putting up a brave face thinking he will be able to turn things in his favor yet again but he is mistaken, because the drama ends next week, lol! It was good that everyone was helping Mannat. Sadiq was always the conscious one but he changed Saleem’s thinking as well, that is why now Saleem was doing all that Mannat was asking him to do.

Closing Thoughts – Mannat Will Win:

Overall, this episode of Cheekh was a good one after a very long time. I remembered that Amir Khan was also an interesting character but then he was forgotten for a long time now, but he came back. Obviously Mannat & Shariq recorded everything that he confessed & they will use it against him. As Aqilzada said that Mannat is now going to fight the case on her own & she will obviously win. I wonder why didn’t all of this happened when the actual case was in court but chalo, better late than never. I know people are raving about Saba Qamar’s acting, which obviously is well-deserved but I will definitely say that Aijaz Aslam has been phenomenal in Cheekh throughout. Even now as a paralyzed character, he has done a brilliant acting. Good to see him performing outstandingly after a long long time. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Cheekh.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Sacred Games is ruling the internet with great story, plot and its amazing actors. Netflix took Instagram to announce the second season will premiere on Independence day.

Based on the novel of the same name by Vikram Chandra, Sacred Games is Netflix India’s first original web series. The storyline follows Sartaj Singh, a Mumbai-based cop who is wonderfully human but a big mess and Ganesh Gaitonde is played by the one and only Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He has the most violent plans in his mind which might ruin the city.

The trailer for season two was released on July 16, and fans are going crazy about it.  It is going to release on Netflix on August 15 and is expected to have eight episodes in total.

In an interview with PTI, Saif said, “he has lost a lot of blood, he is not eating much. He is running around a lot and he is not happy. There is a lot of drama and action happening”

After watching the trailer for season two, we believe it.

The season two has two more new characters including, Kalki Koechlin and Ranvir Shorey. Netflix announced that Kalki will embody Batya Abelman, a ‘lost soul who comes from a conflicting background’ (her father is Jewish-French and mother, who abandoned her, is Palestinian). Her journey of transforming from a rebellious and angry teenager with a drug addiction to a calm woman, under the guidance of Guruji.
Koechlin says, “Personally, I am a fan of the series, and it is super awesome to be a part of the Sacred Games and Netflix family. Season two promises to be much more exciting and I cannot wait for viewers to watch me in the series.”

Ranvir Shorey will play Shahid Khan. He reveals, “The digital platform is so empowering and working on this audience-favorite show has been an absolute delight! My character in Sacred Games 2, Shahid Khan, is a complete departure from any of the roles I’ve played before, and I’m looking forward to fans across the world bingeing on the new season.”

The new season will be much more twisted than the first one and the team is confident about it. It is so cleverly done, it goes back to the past and future and everything ties up. The previous season was quite basic. In season one you know about them, but in season two you are up to it. Saif Ali Khan has revealed that this season will also explore more about Sartaj’s family background and his father, who had an unexpected connection with Gaitonde. He says, “While season one set the stage, this season develops it further, and deals more with the inner workings of Sartaj’s mind, personality, background, family and father. It’s a logical progression; there’s a little more action, there’s a little more speed and drama, and it’s also when the whole sacred angle comes in.”

Sacred games is releasing second season on Netflix on August 15.

 

Meer Abru Episode 32 & 33 Story Review – Quality Entertainment

Opening Thoughts – Quality Entertainment:

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru were brilliant as usual. While watching these episodes, I could totally feel that they were now wrapping the story up & getting us ready for the final episodes. This drama has been such an amazing journey & I was wondering how much they have showed us in these episodes that it just doesn’t feel like we have watched this drama for so long. Meer Abru is a quality entertainment & I am sure once it will end, I will watch its rerun!

The Luck Is On Abru’s Side:

Abru had everything working in her favor. Even though Abru tried to backtrack from quite a lot of things that were being dished out to her, because she wanted to prove things to Zaibi, Haya & even Waleed, she had no idea that Jamal & Meer were adamant to give her the status & position she deserved. Abru has been through so much but she has picked herself up. However, she still is emotional & gets overwhelmed thinking about Saim. Abru finally came back to Saim’s home & she remembered that everything was just the same but it still wasn’t because Saim was not there anymore. I liked how Jamal & Abru had a conversation but then Jamal knew exactly what Abru was going through mentally & emotionally. Abru has to prove herself & her innocence to everyone in the family who doubts her intentions & this is why Jamal just wanted to do everything properly to put a message across that Abru was not going anywhere.

Jamal found out about Waleed & before confronting him or Zaibi, he decided to do things right. Jamal has now gotten totally involved in the business because he can not see it getting ruined because of his wife’s selfish reasons. Jamal & Meer are on the same page & it was nice to see that Jamal had confidence in Meer that he won’t do anything wrong from now on. Meer has done everything to redeem himself & that is something that even Jamal acknowledges but when it comes to terrible trio as well as Abru, they are still not too convinced about Meer & his changed attitude.

One of the most interesting things that happened in this episode was the change in Waleed’s behavior. He started putting two & two together only to find out that his mother was lying to him as well as Haya. Haya thought she was securing her place in this home by going against Abru but little did she know that Zaibi was against her too. Haya insulted Abru yet again but then, it turned out to be another favorable situation for Abru because then Waleed & Haya got to see the real picture & understood that Zaibi had been lying to them all along.

Maha’s reentry was another blessing for Abru because she told Waleed & Haya everything that they wanted to know about Zaibi. Maha actually exposed Zaibi in front of Waleed & Haya but they didn’t confront her just yet. Zaibi has totally lost the sense of right & wrong, that is why she couldn’t stand the fact that Waleed was now trying to lead a normal & happy life with Haya. I am not too keen on Waleed because he was shown to be like this, he was emotional & someone who didn’t really think much or analyze things but when it comes to Haya, I am not going to ever like her character ever again. Now Haya will make sure to seek forgiveness from Abru but then, I don’t think she deserves to be forgiven because she had seen how Abru was always a mother figure to both Sana & her, so for Haya to actually go against Abru & judge her, based on a little bit of brain feeding makes her a bizarre character!

Sana’s involvement in this entire equation was very interesting. I really love how she always makes sure to uplift Abru when she is feeling down & always lends emotional support to her. Sana had started to feel that Meer loved Abru & she wanted to know more about it but then Abru silenced her. Sana had a chance to speak to Meer directly. It was nice to see Meer coming to rescue Sana, it was now Meer was being a brother figure to Abru’s sisters just like Saim used to be. Meer helped Sana but then yet again, Abru misconstrued & Meer didn’t tell her what the truth was until Sana did. Abru had slowly & steadily started to see the difference there was in Meer’s attitude. How he had changed & how he was going out of the way to do things right. Abru will slowly realize that her feelings for Meer had never died & they will resurface yet again & I can’t wait to see that happen.

Closing Thoughts – Complete Drama:

Meer Abru is such a complete & perfect drama. It has so many flavors & that is what has made this journey so interesting to watch. I have absolutely loved Abru’s character & it is a treat to see such a dignified female lead like Abru in a Pakistani drama. The actors have done a brilliant job in elevating the level of this drama, just everything about Meer ABru is absolutely perfect. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Hum TV Disrespects Legends

Hum TV is one of the leading channels of Pakistan. They paved their way to success by reviving the Pakistani dramas which were suffering during the mid 2000’s when everyone was watching Star Plus dramas. Hum TV is run by Sultana Siddique, Moomal Shunaid and Momina Duraid. These are three leading ladies that are behind every drama that goes into production under the banner of Hum TV.

In the last couple of decades, Hum TV has produced some superhit dramas and as a result, those dramas have given out some big names to the industry. Hum TV’s constant support has earned these actors massive popularity and star status. Among those stars, the biggest names are Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. Although it is good to see Hum TV going out of the way to promote new talent but the precedent they are setting to achieve that is wrong on so many levels. Channel heads like Sultana Siddique and Momina Duraid have proved it time and again that they will do anything to please their favorite stars. The drama industry evolves but in the field of arts, newcomers learn the craft and skills from their seniors who have left behind their legacies. Hum TV has time and again proved that at the expense of senior and veteran actors, they will do what it takes to please the stars from their lobby.

These are the look at the two major incidents which show how Hum TV has disrespected the legends:

Badar Khalil And Fawad Khan (2014)

In 2014, Badar Khalil was invited to attend Hum Awards as she was receiving The Lifetime Achievement Award. After the function, she let everyone know how Sultana Siddiqui humiliated her, only to accommodate Fawad Khan. Badar Khalil clearly stated that it was not Fawad Khan’s fault to demand to be seated in the front row. According to Badar Khalil, she could hear Fawad Khan on the phone call to Sultana Siddique, where he told her that he will not attend the function if he will not be seated in the front row. Sultana Siddiqui asked Badar Khalil to vacant her seat and sit somewhere else. Badar Khalil left the award she had received on the seat and chose to walk out of the function. Badar Khalil left for Canada after this incident, but after she came back, she spoke to Faysal Qureshi in detail and explained what had happened. She stated again that it was not Fawad Khan’s fault, however it was the responsibility of Sultana Siddique to make sure to not hurt her or Fawad’s feelings. Badar Khalil said that Sultana Siddiqui’s daughter in law Momina Duraid was also seated next to her, but she didn’t ask her for a favor, rather told Badar Khalil to do so.

This entire statement of Badar Khalil sparked a debate back then and almost everyone came in support of Fawad Khan. Very few actors spoke in favor of Badar Khalil. She also compared the treatment she received when she got the same Lifetime Achievement Award from PTV. Badar Khalil has given 50 years to the industry but the owners of Hum TV made it very obvious that for them, the fresh talent was far more important than these of legends of the industry. No apologies were issued by Sultana Siddiqui to Badar Khalil. Sadaf Fawad claimed that everything that Badar Khalil told was a lie.

Firdous Jamal and Mahira Khan (2019)

In Faysal Qureshi’s show Salam Zindagi, Firdous Jamal shared his opinions about Mahira Khan and that sparked a huge controversy. A lot of actors like Asma Abbas, Gohar Rasheed, Mawra Hocane, Fahad Mustafa, Shehryar Munawwar, Humayun Saeed etc have spoken in favor of Mahira Khan and they all were of the opinion that being a senior actor, Firdous Jamal should not have passed such remarks about his junior. Mahira Khan didn’t say much but posted a hand-written letter where she spoke about spreading love. Mahira Khan got a good response for tackling this issue with maturity.

This entire controversy took an ugly turn when Momina Duraid of Hum TV shared her sentiments and clearly told that she was putting a ban on Firdous Jamal. According to Momina Duraid, she is ashamed of the fact that Firdous Jamal is a part of this fraternity and that he had no right to pass such regressive remarks about Mahira Khan. Momina Duraid has proved that for her, Mahira Khan is far more important and the amount of work Firdous Jamal has done over the past 45 years is not worth being respected for.

Hum Tv Disrespects 122

This statement by Momina Duraid has now sparked another debate and actors like Mishi Khan, Feroze Khan, Hamza Firdous are openly speaking against Momina Duraid. Mishi Khan has called it a mafia because for everyone this is unfathomable that based on an opinion of Firdous Jamal, his status and respect is being dragged down like this. People are also questioning that Mahira Khan spoke about spreading love but why is she not telling Momina Duraid to backtrack from her decision? In the past, celebrities like Nadia Khan and Veena Malik have also shared their opinion that they don’t see Mahira Khan as an amazing actor.

Hum TV is setting the wrong precedent. In this era of freedom of speech, the owners of Hum TV are making it very obvious that they will not hold back in disrespecting the seniors for their favorite actors. Being one of the leading channels of Pakistan, the owners of Hum TV also has a responsibility to maintain balance and neutrality. If they want to support or promote their favorite stars, they are free to do that but definitely not at the cost of disrespecting the legends who have given their entire life to Pakistani drama industry.

The most shocking thing she said was that MD Productions does not even pay the actors after getting the job done. She said so many artists did not even want to work with the MD Productions for the same reason.

She also said that people shouldn’t have expected better from Momina Duraid because this was her reality. She does not value the actors and only defends those who are her favorites. She also said that Momina Duraid had no idea what her ‘favorites’ really thought about her. Mishi Khan surely knows what she is talking about it and she is not holding back at all.

Mishi Khan also said that if Momina Duraid wanted to do the right thing then she should be paying the people who work for her on time. She also said that it was stars like Firdous Jamal who sell her dramas. She also termed MD Productions a mafia.
