Model Anam Tanoli Found Dead!

Some of Anam’ close friends have alleged that this may be a case of suicide as the model was fighting depression. She was feeling very low in her life as she was judged for her profession and she was not dealing well with social media bullies either. This all lead her to commit suicide. She was only 26 years old.

Poor mental health is causing these issues to get more and more complicated and the lack of sensitivity of the society causes more and more cases to emerge!

Nauman Ijaz’s Wife Is The Prettiest

0

Nauman Ijaz is a versatile actor with a massive fan following. He isn’t just talented but also very good looking. Nauman Ijaz keeps on posting pictures of him with his family. He has three handsome boys and his wife is gorgeous. His wife’s name is Rabia Nauman. Nauman Ijaz and his wife make the perfect couple. They look great together and it is difficult to tell that his wife who looks so young has grown up children. Nauman Ijaz and his wife have to be the most good looking couple of the showbiz industry.

Nauman Ijaz shared details about how he got married in an interview. This was no arranged marriage but a love marriage for which he had to fight! His wife’s parents did not want to marry their daughter off to an actor since they did not think that this was a proper profession. In order to please them, he went looking for a job and ultimately convinced them. The love between them has surely gotten stronger in all these years. They are always seen enjoying their holidays or get-togethers with friends. Nauman Ijaz is hardly ever seen in showbiz parties and unlike many other actors, he does not bring his wife with him in talk shows. He also does not like giving a lot of interview which is why he is one of those few actors who are hardly ever seen in Morning Shows.

Here are some pictures of Nauman Ijaz with his beautiful family.

This year Fahad Mustafa is part of Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2. Although, it is not the only film Fahad Mustafa is part of this year but Jawani Phir Nahi Ani can easily be termed as the biggest film of the year. While giving an interview to BBC Fahad shared what it was like working with Humayun Saeed.

When the host asked him what it felt like working with a seasoned actor like Humayun who was also a producer, Fahad said,

“It was a pleasure working with Humayun. I respect Humayun bhai so much because he has been an inspiration for me all along. I worked with all the actors in Pakistan and I have done a lot of work in his productions also.”

Fahad Mustafa Praises Humayun Saeed

He also revealed something which he has not talked about before. He laughed and said,

“You know my first ever serial which I did for television, I played his son – which he never tells anyone!”

Fahad Mustafa went on to say,

“He is one person, who is not insecure at all. And he gives you due respect which I think is the best thing the guy has. I have never felt a single day that some way or the other he is trying to cut my scenes. That is why he is so successful.”

Mehwish Hayat Talks About Playing The Role Of Benazir Bhutto

0

There was news circulating in the media few weeks back that Mehwish Hayat was going to play the role of Benazir Bhutto in an upcoming film. Benazir Bhutto’s daughter also showed her discontent when she read the news because no one had taken permission from the family. After that, there was not much news regarding the project in the media.

Mehwish Hayat Talks About Playing The Role Of Benazir Bhutto

Recently, when Mehwish Hayat was invited as a guest in the show Tonite With HSY she talked about this project and confirmed that she indeed was going to play the role. To elaborate she said,

“That is partially true. I will be very honest, It is happening in the background but it is a very complicated subject. There are a lot of problems but it is going to happen. It should happen, it is a great story and it should be told.”

Looks like she will be going ahead with the project after all!

Zun Mureed Episode 26 Review Story – Major Character Development

Tonight’s episode of Zun Mureed laid the foundations for an ending which seemed highly unlikely few weeks back. For the past two weeks, there was a major but gradual shift in the story and tonight while Sajjad’s guilt was extremely convincing, highlighting Tabbasum’s bechargi and limitations was not needed. Everything else in this episode was picture perfect but Sidra’s dialogues were not in line with the basic concept of this drama. Yes, this was the first time that Sajjad hit Tabbasum and I was all for Tabbasum giving him another chance if he realized his mistake and took responsibility for his action but Sidra’s dialogues about a man’s ego and how it could get hurt did not work for me at all. Also, it would have been sufficient if Tabbasum ultimately went back home when Bobby told her what was going on instead of reinforcing the belief that even a woman like Tabbasum could not do much for herself or her children. This is definitely true and close to reality but I feel that in this particular case it was unnecessary. We watch plenty of dramas on daily basis which give women this lesson and one thing I have always loved about Zun Mureed was that it was never one of those dramas. Apart from this one scene everything else was refreshing as usual and this episode overall gave all the right messages.

Zun Mureed Episode 26 Review Story - Major Character Development

Tonight’s episode opened with Razia turning up at Tabbasum’s brother’s house to tell everyone what was going on. Tabbasum was not home therefore it was up to Fari to decide whether she should convince her sister to go back or not. Everyone seems to have forgotten that Tabbasum did try to go back but she was turned back in the worst way possible. Fari is the only one who mentioned that. So far, Tabbasum has been shown as a sensible and sensitive woman who never let her ego dictate to her therefore asking her to not let her ego stand in her way repeatedly was somewhat unfair and it gave the wrong impression. The focus later on was on Sajjad more than Tabbasum because he was the one who still needed a great deal of convincing. Watching Sajjad finally realize his mistakes and especially his reply to Marium in the end was truly gratifying. Sajjad’s character development has changed the dynamics of the story altogether. The fact that Tabbasum heard Sajjad’s confession herself also is a major reason why she can now go back to him with complete confidence.

Zun Mureed Episode 26 Review Story - Major Character Development

Bi Jaan’s apology and her state of mind was also a really important development tonight. She has surely learned her lesson and knows now just how wrong she was. She has also realized that she needs Tabbasum more than Tabbasum ever needed her. Her decision to send Bobby alone was careless and desperate at the same time. Marium was the only one tonight who still wanted Sajjad to stay firm and not give in. Sajjad’s reply to her was on point. This was the perfect ending to this episode and the preview of the next episode was promising. I am looking forward to an ending in which Tabbasum will be valued and Sajjad will turn over a new leaf. Waiting to see a change in Marium’s character as well. Omair Rana and Shamim Hilali acted exceptionally well today and this episode was directed brilliantly too.

Agha Ali Does Not Want “Sakina Massi” As His Wife!

0

It is great to see our leading Pakistani male actors bring a new mentality to the forefront. Even though Agha Ali has failed to set new standards when it comes to his screen persona and the role he chooses to play, he is definitely breaking barriers otherwise. While answering a question in Jago Pakistan Jago, Agha Ali made it very clear that he does not want to marry someone who can do his chores for him. He said that I am very independent and do not expect my wife to do everything for me.

Here is what he had to say,

“I want to marry a girl who is simple and also has a strong personality. I hate men who get married because they want a wife who will do their house chores for them. I iron my clothes myself, I also wash the dishes and I also clean after me. This is so wrong – I don’t want Sakina Massi in my life!”

Agha Ali Does Not Want "Sakina Massi" As His Wife!

What he said next was even more refreshing! He said,

“I will even iron her clothes provided I have the time to do so.”

All the actresses on the show said that Agha Ali had made tea on the sets more often than they had. They called him an independent man who really did not need a woman to look after him.

Ahad Raza Mir Wants People To Stop Doing “This” Right Now!

0

We love Ahad Raza Mir‘s down to earth nature and his overall mannerism. He rarely ever speaks up against things which bother him. While answering yet another question regarding his relationship status with Sajal Aly, he finally decided to say what was on his mind. He said,

“Let me say this. I have been asked this question in so many interviews. I think it’s not fair to be discussing whether somebody is getting married, getting engaged, dating someone especially. People think celebrities are public property and like that. Well, we are here to give you a show but there are some things we keep personal.”

“I am saying this now because so many people ask this question so I think we should all understand we are actors, we like to entertain you, we like to give you stories but don’t do this. Especially if someone asks me, it’s okay but when it comes to a woman’s respect, it should be left alone until something happens.”

Brandsynario always comes up with entertaining and fun ideas. This time around, they made Hania sit down and read some of the hate comments on her instagram posts. Hania Aamir was supposed to read these comments and then reply to her haters. Hania did not hold back and also said that all these people will be blocked.

People think saying hateful things is their birth right and it is always good to see the celebrities replying back to them in the same tone and that too publically. Here is one of the hate comments.

Hania Aamir Has Tons To Say To Her Haters!!

And this was Hania’s reply,

“You should be sorry, you are very hateful. You are going nowhere in life!”

There was another guy who was really concerned about Hania’s duppata.

Hania Aamir Has Tons To Say To Her Haters!!

Hania’s reply was equally direct. She said,

” Duppatay ke beghair bhi mei k**** nahi lag rahi hoti. I don’t look like a bail, a deer, a monkey, I look like Hania Aamir the human….just putting it out there!”

And this guy cannot digest the fact that Hania eats!

Hania Aamir Has Tons To Say To Her Haters!!

“PG 18 answer hei mera lekin mei wo de nahi rahi. Dekhei mera pait hei jo marzi jaye, aap apni fikr karei, dusru ki krna chor dei. un ko apne burger khanay dei.”

In the end Hania also had a message for all such haters. She said that cyber bullying should stop because it was killing people. She wants people to stop hating and start spreading love!

Wow!! Kubra Khan Has Never Been This Blunt Before!

0

Kubra Khan was invited to Mazaq Raat show with rest of the cast of Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2. Vasay Chaudhry’s questions were interesting and the honesty with which everyone answered these questions made them even more so. Kubra Khan’s bluntness and spontaneity was something new for us. Most of times celebrities avoid answering questions which involve other celebrities but Kubra proved that she has no problem answering such questions. Kubra Khan spoke her mind without being diplomatic and we loved that about her.

Wow!! Kubra Khan Has Never Been This Blunt Before!

When the host Vasay Chaudhry asked Kubra whose call she would answer immediately, which celebrity’s call she will not answer but will message as a reply and which actresses’ call will she reject and even turn her phone off. Kubra did not take long to answer the question. The options were 1. Mehwish Hayat 2. Urwa Hocane 3. Sajal Aly. Kubra replied that she will attend Urwa’s call, message Mehwish and reject Sajal’s phone call.

Wow!! Kubra Khan Has Never Been This Blunt Before!

Vasay Chaudhry also asked Kubra Khan which celebrity will she marry, friend zone and ignore. He gave her these options 1. Shehryar Munawar 2. Hamza Ali Abbasi 3. Ahad Raza Mir. She immediately said that she will friend zone Hamza Ali Abbasi and ignore Shehryar Munawar! She decided she would much rather kill Ahad Raza Mir than choosing the marrying option! She apologized to Ahad and we loved her overall attitude!

Koi Chand Rakh Episode 6 – Review Story!

Ohkay so, this episode of Koi Chand Rakh was alright. I felt that way because none of the scenarios shown in this episode were interesting. It was a basic sort of an episode elaborating different mind-sets of different characters!

Rabail is forced to bear the brunt of everything that is wrong in Niazi house. Just because Umair has fallen in love with Rabail, she is responsible even when she never once reciprocated his love. Just because Rabail has gotten married to Zain, Nishaal is again playing mind games with her, holding her responsible for getting ditched by Zain. Nafeesa knows that Rabail lied to Umair only to send him away, still she is blaming her & making it look like everything’s her fault. In the middle of this, at least Asad sympathized with Rabail & saw her for who she is but then, he is also getting pressurized from his wife & daughter who are using Umair to malign his heart against Rabail.

Nishal is shady. She blamed Rabail for everything wrong in front of her father but later when she immediately remembered that there was this guy named Zain who she fell in love with, she decided to sweet talk Rabail into getting divorced from him? It is funny as well as cringe-worthy to see a character like Nishal who has zero self-respect. At first she says she has this invisible queue of guys waiting for her but then, like a sore loser she is chasing after the guy who clearly dumped her & is focusing on his relation with his wife chalo usay jealous karne ke liye hi sahi! Nishal poses to be quite upfront & stuff but then, she is being manipulative right from the beginning to not look too despo, that she is after Zain, who is already married or was getting married to her cousin. If Nishal had gathered up the courage before, she wouldn’t have been in the need to play these dirty tricks!

Rabail & Zain had their 1st meeting & Zain found out that he & Rabail were poles apart. Zain went back from being ‘khandaan ki khushi ka muhafiz’ to ‘khandaan ke sir dard ka bais’. The way Zain spoke to his parents & then his sister made me think again that he was never really emotionally attached to his family so not sure why didn’t he take a stand for Nishal if he was so dying to be with her. It is unconvincing that a stubborn guy like Zain gave in & got married to Rabail just so easily! The dialogue ‘Nishal is pretty but Rabail is a doctor’ was another cringey thing in this episode. They should have hired some ordinary looking girl to play the role of Rabail if they actually wanted to highlight Nishal as this beauty queen because I as a viewer am not blind enough to not see that Ayeza is way prettier, like that’s a known fact, a done deal whereas Nishal…the less said the better. Also, it is so funny that while Rabail is somewhat approved by everyone else because she’s hmmm mehhh just a doctor, Nishal is drooled-over because she is PRETTTTAAAAYYYYYY…like really, what is being implied in this drama that being pretty is better than being a doctor? Someone’s beauty has an edge over someone else’s qualification? To kya hua aggar wo doctor hai, bahu to hamain lambi gori chahiye, is this the notion that is being promoted here? Seriously!

Well well well ‘Mai teri dushman, dushman tu mera, mai nagin tu sapaira’ conversation was the highlight of this episode for me because hilarious & I was in a laughter fit. I mean who in this day & age calls himself a sapaira & his lady love a nagin? Who speaks about playing been to hypnotize nagins with his looks? Tauba, I mean whoever came up with those dialogues deserves 21 topon ki salami, hmmm multiply that by 2 so make it 42 because you really need a whole new level of intelligence to come up with something like this. I wonder how many takes Imran Abbas must’ve given while delivering those funny dialogues, matlab hasi to ai hogi for sure!

Anyways, not that Nishal has any self-respect but she proved that her self-respect died dog wali maut when after Zain told her to go to hell, she was like aa rahay ho na dinner pe? Hmmm matlab thori si bhi self-respect nahi? The preview proved my point further, Nishal is curbing her self-respect to prove to Zain that he will be miserable without her but then I am waiting for that time when Zain will fall for Rabail & Nishal will realize that the joke was on her! LOL!

There were quite a few mistakes that I noticed, like Nishal calling Umair as Zain in the opening scene. Rabail & Zain left the house in daylight but when Rabail asks him in the car ‘hum kahan ja rahay hain’ tab tak raat ho chuki thi. Rabail didn’t get to change her clothes but Umair changed his city, chalo I will give it to him that Islamabad is 2 hours flight away from Karachi but still airport ana jana & stuff? Anyways, please share your thoughts!

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Fawad Khan Speaks At The Media Ministry’s Reception For Foreign Delegates At Hajj 2018

Fawad Khan has been making headlines recently because the 36 years old star has performed his first Hajj this year. After performing Hajj the actor was invited by Saudi Media Ministry to attend the reception for foreign delegates. Fawad Khan took to stage and talked about his experience of performing Hajj.

He was interviewed by Arab News and this is what he liked the most about Hajj,

“Being one among 2.4 million people is the easiest thing on earth You feel comfortable because you are in the same space with other people who bare their hearts to God. You feel like any other person among them. And you are not under media scrutiny as you are on normal days.”

Fawad Khan Speaks At The Media Ministry's Reception For Foreign Delegates At Hajj 2018

The Khoobsurat star further added how much he loved the anonymity,

“It feels nice to be a face in the crowd. But, I enjoy the anonymity now and then. In a way, it is very refreshing. People during Hajj are so busy and caught up in what they are doing that they don’t have time for these things. They are very considerate. They are very careful about what they are doing.”

The star with millions of fans worldwide added that the amount of love he receives not only overwhelms him but also scares him,

“When I wake up, I feel just as human as all people do. When I see such a massive outpouring of affection and adulation, I feel frightened since being elevated to such a position is something to be feared. It is an honour, yes, but I also feel afraid because the responsibilities are greater.”

Fawad Khan Speaks At The Media Ministry's Reception For Foreign Delegates At Hajj 2018

Many people do not know that Fawad Khan spent a lot of his childhood living in Saudi Arabia. The EP front-man expressed how nostalgic it was to be back,

“I was in Riyadh from 1986 to 1992 as a child. My mother is a very pious woman and when my father was posted to Riyadh, she would say, ‘I will never miss an opportunity to perform Umrah,’ so we used to perform Umrah every year.”

He continued,

“The number of pilgrims has increased many times over. It was a very different time back then, but things have always been comfortable in Saudi Arabia. I remember seeing snow in Riyadh because of the extreme weather deserts sometimes have.”

Fawad Khan Speaks At The Media Ministry's Reception For Foreign Delegates At Hajj 2018

Khan further recalled,

“It reminded me of my childhood. I really enjoyed the time when I was growing up. When I left Riyadh, I was sad because those were my formative years. I had a feeling of nostalgia. I remember as a child when performing Umrah, there wasn’t much rush or traffic. The running between Safa and Marwa as part of the ritual was more like a game because I would race with my sister at that time and being there again brought all those memories back.”

Khan concluded by praising The Kingdom for the hospitality,

“The Hajj was made very easy by the ministry. The facilities made everything comfortable despite the blistering heat. And, people are very helpful. There is obviously a language barrier, but you overcome that somehow.”

Fawad Khan Speaks At The Media Ministry's Reception For Foreign Delegates At Hajj 2018

He further added,

“The banquet arranged for guests is a reflection of the host. A lot of love and affection goes into it. It is not about the quantity that you are given but the quality. And our experience was of the highest quality because there was a lot of care, love and affection in it. The pilgrimage was made very pleasurable.”

 

Have something to add?

 

 

 

Haara Dil Episode 21 Review Story — Emotionally Charged

So episode 21 is here and even though things look chaotic but we can see it ending well for everyone eventually. This one had it’s fair share of sorrows and joys. I enjoyed the part where the writers brought the complexity of characters back in the story. Fehmi was shown to have a soft corner for Momina after all and she gives her sincere and honest advice regarding her relationship with Arham. It was evident the love and affection a woman has for another woman. Fehmi has lead a life alone and has dealt with all sorts of situations she is well versed in the matters of the world so she doesn’t want Momina to make decisions that she’ll regret making later.
Ever since Fehmi’s introduction her loneliness has been shown as a major part of her personality. She longs for a family and a home and even though she finds it hard to trust the world including her step daughters she still can’t watch Momina make any decision that will leave her as lonely as Fehmi. Areej also had a change of perspective after Arham’s accident. Watching her only brother fight for his life put things in perspective for her. She realized that Arham’s love for Momina is not a phony thing it is much stronger than that. This episode also focused on Areej’s own relationship with her husband. It showed how she envies the bond shared by Momina and Arham and wishes she had something like that with her husband too.

Haara Dil Episode 21 Review Story --- Emotionally Charged
Areej and Fizza have some heated arguments and given how fragile Areej’s marriage already is it wouldn’t be far fetched to assume that Areej might have to face some consequences. It was also implied that like Amtul Zawar might use his relationship with Areej as a bargaining tool to get Fizza what she wants.
Abeer was also less hostile towards everyone in this episode including Areej and Fehmi and she has also formed a bond with Sami. This probably is because she is in love with Faraz and he makes her happy. Afaan and Momina also have a heart to heart moment in this one where Afaan expresses how much he’d like it if Momina not only considered him a father figure but also called him “baba”.
Amtul stays as bitter as always. Even after watching her son have such a close encounter with death nothing much changed. She still blames Momina for everything and is likely going to blame Momina for Areej’s problems too in the coming episodes.
Overall this episode had some strong emotional moments like Arham telling his parents that he is leaving the house. Fehmi giving Momina some sincere advice. Areej having a meltdown in front of Momina. The story is about to be concluded and all this mess is necessary chaos.
How’d you find this episode of Haara Dil?

Ghar Titli Ka Par Episode 32 Full Story Audio Review – Dilchasp kist

For All Those Who Think Marrying Early Is The End!

With the growing standards of living, we have reached a point where youngsters are seldom seen shunning the idea of marriage. They want to focus on their education, careers and buy luxurious stuff. All this happened because we as a society have made weddings a huge monster where you have to buy food for 6000 people, designer stuff to wear for one day because common wale pe logg kya kaheinge and a bulky dowry to impress everybody or as a token of future security. Islam has urged us to marry young and this is how Islam taught us to get married. Read this and many will rethink what they thought about young age marriages:

We got married pretty young. I was 19 and Umer was 21 years old. Umer was a student here in Australia and I was back in Pakistan. He wasn’t settled, I wasn’t settled. What exactly is settled? Fancy corporate job, big mansion, a great luxurious car?! We did not have any of these things, Umer and I both were students when we got married. He was completing his bachelors then. We had a very simple wedding, only a Nikkah ceremony. My dress plus jewellery all costed approximately 15k – Pakistani rupees. Umer wore a 10k pakistani rupees kurta. A close knit ceremony which included immediate family and close friends. Why? Because we decided to invest that money for us. We made getting married easy like it’s supposed to be. No demands were made from the either side. We decided to invest time and money in and for our relationship. It made no sense to us to spend a huge amount for an event – that no matter how perfect; people would still complain about. .
We saved the money and used it for something that would benefit us in the long term. Umer was living in sharing with other students before I came here, he moved houses few months before I arrived here in Melbourne. He bought everything from scratch, he assured me that I would find every basic item required to operate day to day function in our home. From tv, fridge, washing machine, hair dryer – right down to Muslim shower! Yaaas! (Cannot survive without it)
.
If I measure according to the current society standards – 4 years and 1 kid later we are still not settled. But if you count – a roof to live under, good food to eat, good enough car to get out and about, a few outings here and there, good clothes to wear, a coffee machine that makes barista coffee every morning, great phones to use, and good health and laughs (very important). We’re doing just alright 😊My husband is a self made man. I couldn’t be more proud of him. And I couldn’t be more proud of myself that I chose him as a life partner. Thanks for being my rock. Here’s to us! Happy anniversary dear husband

For All Those Who Think Marrying Early Is The End!

Indeed, simplicity and love are what makes a relationship beautiful and strong!

Nabeel Qureshi Is Unhappy With Lesser Screens For Load Wedding!

This Ed was huge for Pakistani cinema. Three big-budget films with a glitzy star cast were released. All of them are performing extremely well at the box-office with JPNA 2 in the lead. Though all the films have performed well JPNA 2 and Parwaaz both have done better than Load Wedding pertaining to the lesser screens given to the latter. The director of the film Nabeel Qureshi has expressed his disappointment with the situation in cinemas:

Nabeel Qureshi Is Unhappy With Lesser Screens For Load Wedding!Nabeel Qureshi Is Unhappy With Lesser Screens For Load Wedding!

The situation has been similar in all cinemas as Load Wedding has got the least number of shows and it is still performing well. The release of three major films together has clearly taken a toll on the business!

Aatish Episode 1 & 2 — Review Story

Produced by MD Productions ‘Aatish‘ is the new prime time drama serial on Hum T.V that airs every Monday. The drama serial has been written by Shagufta Bhatti while Saima Waseem has directed it, it stars Azfer Rehman and Hina Altaf in the lead roles of Sheheryar and Asma respectively. What attracted me to watch this drama was the catchy OST. Hassan Munir’s composition along with Sabir Zafar’s lyrics and Ali Tariq’s voice give the sound track a very soulful touch worthy of a love saga. The drama revolves around Asma (Hina Altaf) who was left at the house where her mother worked as a maid when she was just a baby. Asma’s father was an alcoholic and her mother was scared he might sell baby Asma some day just to get some booze so out of that fear she left Asma with the lady (Azra Mansoor) she worked for. Asma calls her Ammi and even though she knows she is the daughter of the maid who worked at this house previously she still considers herself part of the family. Aatish Episode 1 & 2 --- Review Story Azra Mansoor assays the role of lady of the house really well she is kind and wise and basically everything you expect a granny figure to be. Ammi lives with her son Saad (Aqeel Abbas) and daughter in law Nazia (Madiha Rizvi) Anna bee and her grand son Hadi. Asma is portrayed as a very immature and childish character but then again that could be Asma’s coping mechanism for dealing with her past trauma. Asma regards Saad as her elder brother and Saad Bhai also considers her a part of the family which is why he is always invested in her studies. He keeps encouraging Asma to study and make something of her life but Asma finds it hard to focus on her studies and that’s what Asma’s days revolve around working, taking care of the family and struggling with studies. Unlike Ammi, Saad and Hadi Nazia treats Asma mostly like a maid. Things go a little berserk in the family when Naureen Appa (Saba Hameed) who is Ammi’s eldest daughter comes home from America. Naureen’s husband died because of which she had to raise her two sons Salar and Sheheryar (Azfer Rehman) alone. It is established that Naureen lead a tough life alone in a foreign land and raised the two boys to be successful independent men. The reason behind this visit to Pakistan is Naureen’s intention of getting her elder son Salar married to her late husband’s niece Maria. Salar is portrayed to be a very elder brotherly figure who is an obedient son and very affectionate towards everyone on the contrary Sheheryar is the mischievous young-ling who still needs a lot of growing up to do. Aatish Episode 1 & 2 --- Review Story When the two adult kids Asma and Shehryar meet the results are naturally disastrous. They avail every opportunity of making each other miserable. It is evident that they have started forming an attachment that both of them are unaware of. Because of Naureen’s and her son’s arrival Ammi appoints her house help’s son Saadatmand for extra help. Naureen suggests the idea that since Asma is so pivotal to this household she should be married to someone like Saadatmand who lives and works in this very house so Asma wouldn’t have to leave Ammi ever. Asma is not a huge fan of the idea and for the first time she has started acknowledging her place in this family which is noting more than that of a maid. The plot looks predictable so far but we await to see how and when both Asma and Shehryar will realize that despite the differences between them they have both formed a bond like nothing they have experienced before. Overall the story isn’t something new so it would be a challenge for the entire team to make this drama stand out from the rest of the same genre. Most of the times in Pakistani dramas the portrayal of Pakistani American nationals isn’t convincing enough same is the problem with this drama. I understand that the budget and time factors limit the amount of detail that can be worked on in such projects but it’d be nice to see such portrayals done right once in a while. Saba Hameed, Azra Mansoor, Madiha Rizvi, Hina Altaf and even Saadatmand are doing a great job at assaying their roles. On the other hand Azfer Rehman’s portrayal of Shehryar seems a bit forced same is true for the actors playing Salar and Hadi. The soundtrack as mentioned earlier is top notch. I have previously seen Hina in serious roles and this role is the exact opposite of what she has done previously but she surely is nailing it. It’s a good start despite some flaws and we are intrigued to see where this journey takes us. How’d you find the first two episodes of’Aaatish’?  

Meri Gurya Episode 15 & 16 Story – Justice Denied!

These two episodes of Meri Gurya had quite a few unexpected and horrifying developments. These episodes were also emotional, fast-paced and upsetting like all the previous ones. The makers of the drama have definitely managed to get all their messages across loud and clear! Sadly, the most important point highlighted in this episode is one of the most bitter realities of our society. Even though Shehnaz and Safina were determined to get justice for Abida but the pressures and the threats culminating into actions turned into a major setback. It was terribly sad watching a mother who had just lost her daughter in the most tragic manner possible, fighting so many different battles at once and ultimately being punished for taking a stand for her daughter only because the criminal and the criminal minded people had more support than the victims and their families had!

Dabeer’s character is getting even more evil with every passing episode and Mohsin Abbas Haider continues to impress. The makers of the drama have shown realistically how so many people fail to tell the difference between right and wrong. In this episode the viewers once again saw how some people’s vested interests and egos got in the way of Shehnaz and Safina. This drama shows why staying quiet after something tragic like this is always considered as a more “safe” option. It also shows that when people like Sheikh sahab take desperate and criminal steps to satisfy their ego the only person they are helping is the murderer and the rapist. Dabeer is a sick-minded evil serial killer who keeps the toys of the girls he murdered as trophies. Right from the beginning, the writer has shown that this man has absolutely no conscience and no remorse – something which makes perfect sense because anyone who is capable of questioning their actions would not repeatedly kill innocent girls. I have watched many documentaries about serial killers and I must say that Dabeer’s character is brilliantly etched-out. He has all the traits of a psychopath and Mohsin Abbas Haider has translated this character superbly on screen.

Meri Gurya Episode 15 & 16 Story - Justice Denied!

Although Dabeer has always been shown as pure evil but even then what he did to his sister tonight was shocking! This just went to show that he can kill anyone at all – whether it is a girl who lives in the neighborhood or his own sister. I am glad it was shown that Samreen suspected Dabeer and started questioning him because it was too obvious that he was hiding something. It was however strange that Safina fell for Dabeer’s lies and believed that Samreen actually ran away with someone. Even though Safina asked Samreen once if there was someone in her life who she wanted to get married to but she knew Samreen so well and she also knows for sure that it was Dabeer who gave her poison. This was the only development in this episode which did not really make sense.

These episodes had plenty of scenes covering what Shehnaz’s daughters were going through and how Shehnaz was dealing with the situation. I absolutely love Shehnaz’s role because it isn’t just inspiring but also close to reality. Shehnaz’s biggest strength are her daughters, no matter what she is going through she always makes sure that her daughters know that they are loved and their mother will be there for them at all times. Although Shehnaz heard her daughters saying that their mother did not love them any more but she did not shout at them and neither did she start crying but her approach was amazing! She went there and told them how she had loved them and cared for them when they were little so that they knew how special they were for her. Shehnaz’s scenes with her daughter are always poignant and beautiful! Sania Saeed is a brilliant actress who always manages to win me over but I especially like her in this role. I truly felt for Safina tonight too, for the first time it seemed like she was tired and clueless as well. She even asked Dabeer to stay with her so that she could feel safe which basically went to show that she could not cope on her own. Dabeer’s cold response and what he said later on once again showed that he was incapable of feeling anything for anyone. Sonya Hussyn is doing complete justice to her character which is why I always look forward to her scenes. Yawar started playing a more active role in the story with this episode and although previously he had given up, now he took a stand for Abida and those raising a voice for her whenever he could.

Meri Gurya Episode 15 & 16 Story - Justice Denied!

These episodes were two of the most upsetting episodes of this drama but the preview of the next episode gave hope that Shehnaz and Safina will not give up after all. There will be protests in the upcoming episodes and Safina will start noticing the “other side” of Dabeer’s personality. This drama keeps me at the edge of my seat and never disappoints. The entire team has done a remarkable job of keeping everything as real as possible. I am looking forward to the time when Dabeer will get caught and punished.

Load Wedding – Film Review

When we say that Pakistani cinema is progressing, we actually say it because of movies like Load Wedding. The movie is really a masterpiece. The Nabeel Qureshi directorial has Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat playing the leads Raja and Meerab. I’ll just break it down without giving out spoilers!

Load Wedding - Film Review

Script:

A movie actually stands on its script. Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza have done a commendable job with the script. They have given not one but two social messages, but not once do the viewers feel that the messages are being forced on them. They have drawn attention to the huge issues of dowry and ill-treatment of widows and girls who remain unmarried in a satirical way. You feel the graveness of the issues even when they are being dealt with lightly and humorously. An aesthetically perfect script is what makes Load Wedding a fun-loaded ride from start to end.

Acting:

Every cast member in Load Wedding gave his/her hundred percent to the film. Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat have nailed Raja And Meerab. They have got the accent right which gives the overall movie a natural touch. Samina Ahmed is great as always. She has played a desi mom and saas to the perfection. Faiza Hassan has brilliantly portrayed the depression and bitterness of a girl who is shunned by the society for not getting married. Another important part of the movie is Qaiser Piya who plays Raja’s friend Nazir. He also has done justice to his role. Yes, at some points one can find Faiza’s character very loud but that was what the story demanded so it goes with it perfectly.

Direction and Editing:

Nabeel Qureshi has done his job well as he translates the loads of weddings in Pakistan perfectly on screen. He has made his actors what they were supposed to do. With perfectly timed shots and the overall rural look of the film, Nabeel does make you feel that it is a common man’s story.

Editing, however, has been the only sloppy point of the movie. The whole game show scenario could have been cut short a bit since it gets a little too extra. Baby Baaji aka Farhana’s reactions were a little repetitive. Repeating the scenes, again and again, was not necessary to establish the point being made. This was the only little miss for Load Wedding.

Music:

I found Load Wedding’s music the best among all the three releases this Eid ul Adha. Rangeya is a great romantic song while Munday Lahore De was the true wedding song among all three released this Eid. Shani Arshad has really taken his job super seriously and given a great soundtrack.

In a single line Load Wedding is a perfectly written and perfectly directed film, with a few glitches in the editing avoided, this one should be watched and remembered for its beauty!

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

Dil Mom Ka Diya Episode 1 & 2 Review Story – Clichéd Start!

Ohkay so, produced by Next Level Entertainment & Six Sigma Productions, wtitten by Saira Raza & directed by Shahid Shafat; Dil Mom Ka Diya is the new prime time drama airing on ARY Digital on Tuesdays. The first episode was full of clichés but I am sure the story will have a lot more to offer once it will kick-start. The first 2 episodes introduced the characters & their household dynamics in a detailed manner, despite not being new, I will say that everything was definitely done well.

Afzal (Yasir Nawaz) is the eldest of 5 siblings & because he took care of them after his parents died, he couldn’t really get a chance to get married & settle down. Afzal spent a chunk of his life struggling to settle his brothers & sisters & they all look upto him. One of Afzal’s sister Salma (Erum Akhtar) is married, his brothers Aqmal (Hassam Khan) & Ahzar (Imran Ashraf) are studying & so is youngest sister Kausar (Zubi Majeed). They all are a close knit happy family with everyone having immense respect for Afzal because he is like a father figure to all of them.

Dil Mom Ka Diya Episode 1 & 2 Review Story - Clichéd Start!

Molvi Feroz Baig (Qavi Khan) has a small family consisting of his wife & 2 daughters Ulfat (Neelam Munir) & Farhat (Alizeh Shah). Ulfat is boisterous, she is unapologetically herself, she is an idealist & someone who dreams big. Ulfat always attracts attention on her because of her looks but so far, she hasn’t really exploited that to her advantage. Ulfat wants an escape from the life that she is living & she definitely imagines getting married to a handsome, young & wealthy man.

Dil Mom Ka Diya Episode 1 & 2 Review Story - Clichéd Start!

Ulfat happens to be the point of concern for her parents too especially her mother where she fears that she might not be able to find a suitable husband whereas Molvi Sahab worries that he might not have sufficient funds to get his daughters married decently. Ulfat has quite an image in her neighbourhood, that is why aunties around her gossip about her which her mother is aware of too. Well, not to sound like those who gossip about her but Ulfat even the younger one Farhat are too modern considering the fact that their father is a humble preacher who is also quite modest & has nothing much to offer to his daughters financially. Well, Molvi Sahab gives classes to Kausar & just when she completes her course, Afzal requests Molvi Sahab to give him Quranic classes too. Afzal respects Molvi Sahab a lot & that is why, when he falls sick, Afzal makes sure to bear all the expenses in order to provide him with the best medical facility.

Salma shows concerns for Afzal’s marriage & she is adamant that her brother should now settle down. Despite Afzal telling Salma repeatedly that he would want to get married to a girl who has a same temperament as him, shares same interests & is mature, Salma brushes that thought off because she is focused on only one thing that she will pick a young & beautiful girl for her over-aged brother. Afzal is well aware of his age & that is why he is not even too keen on getting married but Salma doesn’t really understand. It is too obvious that Salma’s controlling & nosey nature will definitely create issues in Afzal’s marital life!

Well, like it happens in all our dramas, Molvi Sahab gets a heart attack & because he knows Afzal is a gem of a person, Molvi Sahab tells him to get married to his daughter Ulfat. Ulfat gets pressurized & is forced to say yes to her Nikkah with Afzal that takes place then & there in the hospital room. Obviously, Ulfat later creates a havoc because she is forced into marriage with a man she had been making fun of just a few moments before. Afzal doesn’t get the chance to see Ulfat but Ulfat who had seen him having a conversation with her father & his doctors goes into shock because Afzal is nothing like what she had imagined her ideal husband would be. I must say, this is not the first time our writers have presented a weird picture of Islamic concepts but it is too obvious that no Nikkah is valid if a girl is mentally or emotionally forced into it like Ulfat was by her parents!

Salma & Kausar pay a visit to Ulfat’s place to finally meet her but before that happens, Salma raises concern over Molvi’s daughter being too over-aged for Afzal?!? Well, they meet Ulfat & just a glimpse of her is enough for Salma to get convinced that Ulfat is perfect because she fits the bill of the girl Salma wanted for Afzal.

Overall, the direction of these episodes was good & so was everyone’s acting but I wish to see the story being more than just a compilation of seen-a-million-times-before clichés. I have never seen Neelam Munir’s project/acting before so I really have nothing to compare with, that’s why I am not sure how did she act because at times it did look like she was either trying too hard or may be that’s how she usually acts? I am unsure but let’s see what she has to offer in the remaining episodes. The production value seemed great & also, it did look like the director gave a free-hand to the actors in family scenes because they all seemed relaxed & comfortable enough to look like a happy family. My actual reason of tuning to Dil Mom Ka Diya is Hira Mani & Imran Ashraf as they both are phenomenal actors. Anyways, let’s see how things roll. Please share your thoughts.
