Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua Episode 26 Review – Secrets Revealed!

Tonight’s episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua had some really important developments to its credit. The first half of the episode focused on the relationship between Faris-Lubna and Tipu-Zoya, at this point watching Faris changing his mind yet again about who he wants to get married to is getting terribly annoying since so far he has been romantically involved in some capacity or the other with every woman he has spent some time with. Although Faris’ character didn’t have a lot going for it before too but Sami Khan’s performance made it as likeable as possible. Tonight however, Faris’ dialogue did not resonate with me at all since he isn’t the right person to lecture someone about the importance of marriage. Lubna was also introduced as a sensible woman but all of a sudden she too is making some really important decisions only because she wants Saif to suffer. Although, I am pretty sure that this marriage won’t take place but even then the fact that Faris is actually bent on going ahead with it just to prove a point is terribly off-putting. The relationships between all these characters have always been complicated but with this episode they got even more intricate than before.

Lubna and Siraj uncle’s scenes together were the most important scenes in this episode. Also, the conversation between Tipu’s father and step mother suggested that there was more to this track. This particular scene piqued my curiosity and right now Siraj uncle’s track is the reason why I will be tuning into this show next week. Even after all these weeks, the viewers know absolutely nothing about Faris’ background therefore I am also waiting to find out how are Faris and Siraj uncle related to each other. The fact that Lubna knew everything all along came as a big surprise. Her conversation with Siraj uncle revealed a great deal about Siraj uncle’s background and there were a lot of questions which were left unanswered.

Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua Episode 26 Review - Secrets Revealed!

Tipu and Zoya’s track has also been intriguing throughout and Imran Ashraf’s performance has always been the highlight of this drama. Noor Khan and Zahid Ahmed are the only two actors who have not been able to do justice to their characters. Zahid Ahmed’s performance is always the same no matter what role he is playing which is terribly disappointing. Noor Khan has also failed to breathe life into her character although the character itself is interesting enough. The director Shahid Shafat has also given this drama the right treatment otherwise it would have lost its charm a long time back. Even when some of the tracks disappoint you, the direction never fails to impress. Having said that, I feel that this drama should end soon since some of the characters are losing their appeal altogether with every passing week.

Overall, this wasn’t the best episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua but it definitely gave me a reason to tune into this show next week since the connection to the characters and their stories is still intact. I hope that all the tracks will be wrapped up nicely without stretching the story.

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

Laal Ishq Episodes 15,16&17 Review – Drama Of The Season

0

If the dramas were truly appreciated for their screen play, plot and acting abilities of lead characters instead of their marketing budgets, I truly believe Lal Ishq would qualify as THE drama of the season. All three of these episodes were mesmerizing and engrossing to the extent that you cannot believe when they actually end and they leave you frantically searching for the promo to see if anything more can be gained from there.

What an amazing three episodes. The story is flowing forward seamlessly. There is an artistic quality to the drama. The way the characters interact with eachother and the way they are fighting their internal battles while pretending to be strong gives it a very life life quality. Despite the fact that the story is extremely dramatic, the drama seems very free from unnecessary drama and over the top actings. The newcomers are doing such a great job that they are actually at par with veterans like Saba Hameed and Waseem Abbas. In the scenes between Mehrunnisa and Mahi, Mahi seems to hold her own as well as Mehrunnisa, which says a lot Faryal Mehmood’s talent.

Rameen and Farhad had accepted Bali as their Jajji uncle. Before they came to know his identity in the seventeenth episode, they even started to care about him like their father’s friend. On the other hand, Mehrunnisa has started preparing for the wedding despite Mahi’s reluctance to leave the house, lest Punar kills Bali and ruins his own life which is Mahi’s biggest fear.

Laal Ishq Episodes 15,16&17 Review - Drama Of The Season

Bali is finally caught by Mehr Punar and that scene was handled absolutely brilliantly. There was no confusion and contradiction in how the characters dealt with the whole situation. It was all pretty straight forward and natural.

Another thing that truly stood out is the amazing portrayal of supporting cast. Usually, the family members of lead characters are useless, baseless and poorly performed but not here. From mamoo Munir to Mojoo uncle to Yawar Kamal, each and every one of these is adding a new dimension to the story without which it would not be the same. They all have their rightful places in the story which the actors are holding up well. From Mojoo’s wide eyed innocence to mamoo Munir’s witty laugh, I wonder who did the casting so well. Seems like an act of genius.

Laal Ishq Episodes 15,16&17 Review - Drama Of The Season

Rameen and Punaar share a beautiful love hate chemistry. In her own way, she has planted a seed of forgiveness for Bali in Punar’s heart, which Mahi and Yawar Kamal were unable to do. In a very emotional sequence, Bali is willing to sacrifice his life for Farhad’s happiness and Punar comes at the right moment to take his life. However, Rameen’s words start resounding in his ears and while he is deliberating, mamoo Munir has done his job which might not have been a very successful murder attempt since Punar tried to save Bali.

Laal Ishq Episodes 15,16&17 Review - Drama Of The Season

Do watch this drama if you are almost sick of Pakistani dramas’ typical stories and substandard acting performances. It is romance, action, thrill and murder all entwined beautifully to create a masterpiece. Cannot wait for the next episode.

 

Sajid Hassan Becomes A Victim To Medical Malpractice!

Medical malpractice is a huge problem in our country. The doctors do not care about their duties and basic moral ethics and patients are just some kind of blank cheque for many of them. The actor Sajid Hassan also got trapped by such a doctor who was also his friend. He was going for a hair transplant which went horribly wrong. Sajid came forward and made a video message for all people that they should always confirm about medical procedures and should be alert while choosing doctors. Here is his message:

We wish Sajid Hassan a speedy recovery!

Umm E Haniya Episodes 3&4 Review – Wonderful

0

These two episodes were equally interesting as last two. The story is in a good pace, plot is interesting and the screen play is well executed. Even the supporting actors seemed to have upped their games except maybe Farah Shah. She was still extremely plastic and unrelatable. It’s not very usual that you see mothers like this in our society and a lot of people including me cannot imagine a mother so evil and unidimensionally negative, so it’s hard to see any depth in that character. Even Kamil’s mother is quite mean but she is quite typical in the sense that she wants her future bahu to be submissive and wants her son to keep a strict hold on her. These type of mothers are quite prevalent in our society so her character still does not seem flat.

Umm E Haniya Episodes 3&4 Review - Wonderful

Neelam Munir is still doing a very good job. Her character’s strength and positivity is shining throughout. Her dealing with that mean girl in the camp was also very sweet, though it did not turn out well for her. The plot was interesting that she could not reach the finals that she so hoped for, but the way it was executed was quite lame. Firtsly, how could no one see that that girl was behind Romi’s accident. Secondly, it was very inaccurate to say that muscular strain needs surgery. Lastly, how come no one of Romi’s family went to see her during the surgery and beyond, even though she was still in Pakistan and her mother was so upset and concerned about her,  but it did not occur to her to go and meet her daughter and be there for her while she was in the hospital.

Romi has already faced her fiance’s lack of support when he made her promise that she will come and marry him despite the results and it really hurt her because she had counted on his support for her game. Then that accident happened and I really felt for her character since she had reached there after so many hardships.

Umm E Haniya Episodes 3&4 Review - Wonderful

Rohan and Saba’s story took a very unexpected turn. A reader commented last time that they believe Hania will be Rohan’s daughter, but I was surprised that how could that happen. But now it seems very plausible since both Rohan and Saba were in a fatal accident and it looks from the promos that atleast Rohan did not survive and maybe Sba too. What I think is that Rohan’s mother will throw that little girl whom Romi will eventually find. It was sad to see the terrible accident since Rohan and Saba were so excitedly to go and start a new life in America after they were so scorned and ousted by Rohan’s family only because they had dared to take a stand for their love. I really liked the way Rohan stood up to his mother when he knew it was her fault in mistreating Saba.

All in all, Umm e Haniya is an interesting watch and is setting high standards for itself. Hope it continues to engross viewers like this throughout.

Khamoshi Episode 18 Review-Back To Annoying Family!

0

One thing I want to say first, Arsala is one lucky girl as far as her professional life is concerned. She just keeps getting good jobs one after the other; well the Haseena one was horrible in the start later it got better and her next stint was slightly sloppy but still, she keeps getting to good places. That said, watching today’s episode was like watching the very first episodes of the drama. All the director focused on today was to show that how shallow and annoying Arsala’s family can be like we did not notice that in the last 17 episodes. This drama has so much repetition in everything that despite being a good story; one gets annoyed at some point.

Khamoshi Episode 18 Review-Back To Annoying Family!

Naima was again being her evil self and her mother is the same too. One good thing Khamoshi has highlighted that Yes! parents do exploit their children. Parents do partiality and favour some of their children wrongly. Though this happens in every single household, it never gets talked about because how can one blame their parents. Shehnaz is the real culprit for Arsala’s tragic life because the way she stood for Naima she could have stepped up for Arsala but she is the one greedier than Sabir. She is the one like her younger daughter. The point was highlighted nicely by the visit of Shehnaz to Naima’s house that how partial she is, she is subtly insulting her sister for the sake of Naima and does not even care when Arsala goes missing.

Shahram has reached Arsala and is helping her in every way he can! Again! But our Arsala will wait to realize how wonderful that man is because the makers want more episodes and just cannot wrap the story up even if there is nothing new or substantial left in it. Sabir’s change of heart is a good thing to watch, at least someone in Arsala’s family is trying to not be annoying but the development is not of any help to Arsala.

Bee Jaan has become the Arsala of her house. Her son is not supporting her and the way Nasreen and Zubiya think of Shahram as their property is not understandable because the boy has clearly told them his choice.

Khamoshi is getting extremely dragged which is making the story lose its charm. They should wrap it up in an episode or two now. What do you guys think?

P.S: Did anyone notice Bee Jaan said the wrong name while talking to Shahram? She called Haseena Naima.

Khamoshi Episode 18 Review-Back To Annoying Family!

Aangan Episode 13 Review – Wedding Planning!

Ohkay so, it was yet another brilliant episode of Aangan. In this episode, the entire focus was on Zoya & Aqdas’s wedding preps & plans, which again were highlighted beautifully – starting from those awkward moments to taking care of everyone’s mood swings to the discussions about financial burdens, each aspect was depicted with perfection because when it comes to wedding plannings, in stead of helping, everyone finds a way to make things even more difficult that too unnecessarily & it was depicted perfectly!

Finally Faseeha put forth Aqdas’s proposal & insisted on finalizing the dates asap as she had to return. Even though Abba Jee, Zaitoon & the entire family had accepted the proposal, they were caught off guard when Faseeha insisted on finalizing everything quickly.

To be honest, I enjoyed Aalu’s scenes the most. The way he tried to grab the attention was so amusing & since he is so used to the idea of getting treated like a royalty, he actually couldn’t believe that no one was bothered about him for once as they all had a bigger matter at their hands to take care of. The entire ‘organic food’ conversation at the dining table was so hilarious, Anila also played a part because by then even she could see that her husband was not being pampered as per their standards!

Zahid was another character who wasn’t helping the situation because he had a lot of issues from mehandi function to segregation to not letting Aqdas mingle before the wedding & so on. It was amusing how no one took him seriously because they all knew he had to create one obstacle after another so there was no need to pay heed to what he said. It is sad that Rubina has to put up with Zahid & his excuses but still she has shown some growth in regards to being thankful to Sajjad & Asim for taking care of her & the kids as she genuinely feels burdened by all that they do for her family.

Laila has also shown some growth & she has now matured in a way that she not only understands her responsibilities but also walks an extra mile to do as much as she can for Rubina. The bonding between Rubina & Laila is very sweet as Rubina has now seen that Laila goes out of the way to help her.

Abba Jee’s concerns were highlighted beautifully. At first, he felt Aqdas will become distant & cold too after he will get married to Zoya but Abba Jee has definitely judged him wrongly but then he can’t help feel that way because Aalu has set such a precedent. The way Abba Jee reminded Shafiq of his responsibilities was spot on too but then again, Shafiq disappointed him. I would like to know more of Shafiq’s side of the story to know whether all that he says is based on excuses or he genuinely is living such a tough life. May be Shafiq has grown cold towards his family as he is too comfortable & busy in his own life & has forgotten what the family is all about!

Aalu wasn’t going to Japan but then he tried to use it as a curveball thinking he will be able to grab an ounce of attention that he was longing for, plus he had to make an impression on Canada return Faseeha as well. The way Abba Jee reacted to Aalu’s news of his tour was perfect & what’s amusing is that Aalu wasn’t expecting that reaction because for a second he thought that their life will come to a standstill upon the news of him not being able to attend the wedding. The conversation between Anila & Aalu about travelling was so funny, it is amusing how they just leave no stone unturned in making things difficult but still fail because everyone’s aware of their nature & their thinking.

Overall, it was another episode of Aangan that I enjoyed. There were quite a few moments where I had a hearty laugh & in the middle of all this, the focus wasn’t shifted from the fact that weddings these days in regular families are too hard to plan. Loved every bit of it. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Aangan.

Cheers,

Shayyad Episode 14 Review – Poignant and Thrilling

This was one of the most emotionally charged and brilliant episodes of Shayyad. It had quite a few scenes which were written and executed superbly and with this episode the story took a brand new turn. Hani’s secret is out and the way she was “welcomed” by Saad’s mother said a great deal about why she decided to keep everything to herself for all these years. The scenes which covered few hours of Salar and Hani’s married life were right on point since they couldn’t have been more well structured. The phone conversation showed how panicked Hani was, her decision to leave without informing anyone, the journey back home and whatever Salar did once she arrived home revealed just how mentally disturbed and violent this man was. The next scene was one of my favorite scenes from this episode since everyone involved made it extremely powerful and therefore effective. While Salar did whatever he could to make Hani cry, Hani refused to shed a tear since she wanted to keep the promise she made to Saad. This one scene explained clearly the relationship Hani shared with both these men. It also yet again showed the difference between Salar and Saad. This scene was written and executed beautifully. The way the flashback scenes have been used in these recent episodes has been quite impressive since it takes a lot of hard work to use such scenes in an impactful manner. Sadia Khan and Nauman Ijaz’s performances were equally impressive in this episode.

There were also some scenes in this episode which showed that Hani valued Saad’s love even more today than she did so many years back. One of the flashback scenes also suggested that Hani too loved Saad but never in the same way in which he loved her. Saad’s mother was the only one who was terribly bothered when Hani came back home with Saad because she knew that if Hani doesn’t go back to Salar, her son will never go ahead with this marriage. Mahpara’s reaction to this entire incident had to be the most unexpected part of this episode since for the first time she did not judge Hani but she supported her. The preview of the next episode also suggested that she will continue supporting Hani.

Shayyad Episode 14 Review - Poignant and Thrilling

Tania and Saad’s scene together was also very meaningful since it showed just how naive Tania was and how much Saad had learned over the years. Tania has no idea what is going on and after her conversation with Hani in the previous episode, she is more convinced than ever that Saad has moved on. There are times when you also feel like she is in denial since Saad’s facial expressions and body language clearly suggest that he doesn’t feel anything for her. Now that Hani is back, things will change completely and I am waiting to find out how Tania will react once she finds out that Hani is the girl Saad was in love with. Once she finds out that Saad loves Hani just as much now as he did so many years back, the situation will become even more intense and interesting. It also remains to be seen how Salar will react to this latest development because a controlling and violent man like him can be capable of doing anything at all.

Overall, this episode was poignant and thrilling. It was the kind of episode which keeps you at the edge of your seat and it surely gave me tons to look forward to. Shayyad is a must watch for all the die-hard romantics out there! It will keep on giving you a reason to tune into it every week and you will find yourself completely involved in this unusual love story. This drama has been well-paced and interesting so far.

Iffat Rahim Clarifies Her Appeal To Chief Justice

Iffat Rahim, one of the most popular models of yesteryears had made a video recently where she had spoken about a lot of current topics, but emphasis was on her appeal for justice. She mentions how a TV channel had assasinated her character and drove her to verge of suicide and left her paranoid enough that she could not face her own family members. Her reason for appeal was the confidence Chief Justice’s personal inquiry into the Zainab murder case and his focus on investigating every side of the story including Shahid Masood’s.

Her video was mentioned and discussed by Rauf Klasara in his talk show. He also could not understand clearly her side of the story but speculated that she will be writing about it to the Chief Justice in detail.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=76s&v=8HfzoIs9LVA

Iffat then made another shorter video thanking Rauf Klasara for raising her issues and clarifying that her reason for tvOS video is not to seek cheap publicity but to make sure that her sufferings are accounted for and the offenders punished. Since she mentions being attached by a powerful media group, she wants them to be held accountable for trying to ruin her reputation.

O Rangreza Episode 28 – Review!

Ohkay so, the perspective of Sassi came through in this episode, though I may or may not agree, it is worth mentioning that things were conveyed clearly at least. Now that the drama is about to end, I am not sure what to take out of it because the perspective of the writer seems confusing as well!

Sassi ended up slapping Wajih because she couldn’t tolerate the way he treated her father at the press conference. I have a concern though, since Sassi was shown to be so out there, boisterous & someone who challenged men around her, like in simple terms the writer was trying to show her as a man, then why was she having a hard time protecting herself? Why did she feel the need to call Qasim when Wajih was mentally harrassing her? Why did she feel the need to rely on an actual ‘man’, that too a man she never saw as one? Sassi fell weak & though she continued to challenge people around her, it was too obvious that she was shaking & was now rattled as well!

The editing was a bit too off. I think Wajih should have created a havoc at Sassi’s place right after she slapped him at the press conference but he came after the movie already had a premier. Anyways, the thing which was conveyed properly was that Qasim ended up doubting & questioning Sassi after seeing the pictures. It was suggested that no matter what Sassi did, she always stayed in her limits but it took a second for everyone around her, especially Qasim to doubt her integrity as if he believed in what Wajih was hinting at by showing those pictures? Yes, it is a fact that people find it really easy & are a bit too quick to judge a girl & this is what happened with Sassi too but even though she has a reputation in the family, she never crossed the line. In fact, Sassi grew a bit courteous towards her parents, which is a good thing like she took a loan for Mumtaz & ended up slapping Wajih as she couldn’t see Khayyam getting insulted. But then again, my point remains, which is something that I mentioned in the previous review about the writer contradicting himself by showing Meena being accepted & appreciated for being traditional & Sassi being dissed for being the way she is, so what’s the point? Yes, Sassi had the right to explore the world on her own, she had the right to live her life but then again, another contradiction arises by showing that Sass couldn’t earn any respect for what she did & is now left empty-handed but oh yes, as the preview suggested, she will be getting Qasim as a consolation prize it seems, what a win I must say! Oh, again by leaving Qasim for Sassi, Meena will once again take the crown by outbidding Sassi’s selfishness by her selflessness, so again, Sassi ne khud se kya hasil kar liya when in the end, she had to beg for her happiness from someone else?

Sonia Jahan will give up & the one who will put her to rest would be Khayyam. I wish the drama makers will put the viewers to rest too by ending this drama next week. Let’s see. Please share your thoughts about this episode of O Rangreza!

Teri Raza Last Episode Review – Halala Haul!

Seriously, what was this? Like I always said, the writer had a lot of sympathy with a pathetic character of Suhana that is why she made sure that everything fell into its place for her & she got away with everything. I remember when I was reviewing this drama, I always said & believed that the writer was showing Suhana as a victim & I got challenged by a commenter saying that this was not what the writer was trying to portray. In fact, the commenter said that in the end the writer will show Suhana paying a huge price for her mistakes, basically using her character to show how grave the consequences can be but oh well, it’s pretty clear that I was right all along. The writer only showed Suhana as a victim of her wrong desires & she also tried to made a very sickly twisted point that no matter what, you are totally entitled to make mistakes, even if it means getting divorced, tossing your decent hushand aside, going on a test drive of a marriage & when you are done experiementing, you can always come back because hey, you are some royalty & you will get what you want since you fell in love with your ex husband after all.

I really think the writer of this drama should not only be ashamed but bid farwell to an art called scriptwriting because this is so not her cup of tea. I really wish the writer Naila Ansari feels ashamed that she glorified Halala which actually is a severe punishment & is not something which should be treated so lightly. Naila Ansari needs to know that writing a drama & characters is no easy feat, so she should leave this to those who are good at it at least.

When this drama began, the concept of Istikhara was twisted too & it became evident that the writer herself wasn’t too sure therefore she merged different concepts which weren’t coherent with Islamic concepts of Istikhara. The entire focus on Badshaghuni showed that the writer was a bit too obsessed with Bollywood, hence the over usage of this word. Even in this episode, Suhana said ‘mai kitnay bhi JANAM le loon & some stuff like that’, like seriously? What is the writer trying to convey here? Since when do we get to have Janams & more than that, who speaks like that? Why so inspired by Bollywood? Janam? I want to know which number of Janam did the writer have to write this gibberish? May be she will need a few more to mature as a writer!!!

After literally breaking the arms, legs, bones & everything of Istikhara, the writer now went to show that it you fail at marriage(s), Halala’s the way to go? Like seriously? What gives them the right to pick such complex, intricate & sensitive subjects & treat them so casually with such disrespect only for the sake of ratings?

The writer contradicted herself because Suhana got married to protect her family from some badshaghuni but later tossed Imtiyaz aside while completely forgetting that she was still going against Istikhara? The writer also showed infidelity as if it was Suhana’s right because she was having a hard time getting over her boyfriend & her love for him, while still enjoying the luxuries that her husband was providing her!!!

Another funniest thing about this entire story was the fact that everyone was stuck in a rut & didn’t move on even after being not related to each other. Suhana was involved with Rameez when she got married to Imtiyaz, later when she got married to Rameez, she was having heart to hearts with Imtiyaz. Jeena got ditched by Rameez but she was still chasing after him. Seema was another desperado who couldn’t get over Imtiyaz even when he was married to Suhana. Talat kept on calling Rameez’s mother to worsen the matters that too when Suhana was married to Imtiyaz! What a bunch of loons!

This entire episode was also just so haphazard. What was the point of showing that Suhana went missing & then she was at the hospital? Rameez was nowhere to be seen in the rest of the episode after first few minutes where he made tall claims that he’d shoot Imtiyaz & Suhana? Looks like Jeena’s reminder pushed him under the burrow & he decided to stay there & never come out. Also, all of a sudden for 1 scene, Zafar suffered a loss & recovered immediately because of Suhana? I mean seriously? Considering it was the last episode, they still couldn’t end things decently. It was amusing that after treating her father like a nobody & literally misbehaving with him for Rameez’s sake, Suhana was now playing the good daughter game with him. Oh yes, shouldn’t Sitara have contacted Seema when she fell sick? Suhana was never the wise, the courteous, the care taker sort of a person, so why did she call her & not her daughter in law to-be? I must say, the ridiculousness of this entire episode surpassed the hidous cut paste job that was done in those scenes where it was suggested that Imtiyaz was out of the country!!!

Oh well, coming to the last scene, when & why did Imtiyaz come to Suhana’s place on the day of his marriage, where he should have been getting ready to go to the venue to get married to Seema? Chalain jee, now that Suhana realized that she was in love with Imtiyaz, she got him in the end. I must say the nod that Imtiyaz did as if he was saying ‘chal pagli’ was so cringe worthy, it was like he completely forgot that she cheated on him & got married to someone else. That nod literally made it seem that for Imtiyaz what Suhana did was nothing & as if all she did was burn his breakfast! It is absolutely appalling to see that for the sake of ratings, the writers are coming up with such scripts where there is no story, no depth, no message & all that they are promoting is cheating, divorce, infidelity, halala & what not – all that isn’t something to be glorified!!!

Sanam Baloch shouldn’t have said yes to a project like this but I guess she got caught up in doing a favor to Fahad Mustafa. The dialogue ‘kyunki mai Suhana hoon’ was so petty, haan bhai tum jaisa psychi aur dheet koi aur ho bhi nahi sakta. I am still nodding my head in denial as I can’t believe that Sanam Baloch was promoting this drama as a next big thing. Hate to say this but she has lost her charm & even her acting is not as impactful as it used to be. Sarmad Khoosat did a decent job as Imtiyaz & Shehroz Sabzwari, I mean app thakte nahi hain aik ke baad aik flop de de ke? I mean Chain Aye Na ke baad bhi appko Chain Nahi Aya? Anyways, please share your thoughts about Teri Raza which should’ve been named as ‘Laut Ke Budhu Ghar Ko Ai’.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

The producer, however, did not disclose the amount they have paid to Qandeel’s parents on being asked about the money on her post. With many nominations at the LSA and a successful run, the controversy was a blow for the drama though and that’s why the maker and the lead actress have given their two cents on it!

What are your guys take on this controversy? Do share in comments!

Baaghi Lands In Major Controversy!

Internet activist and lawyer Nighat Dad went on Facebook and shared some claims about the parents of Qandeel Baloch and how they have been allegedly exploited by the makers of Baaghi. See her words:

Following these allegations, Images by Dawn got in touch with Qandeel’s father Azeem and he has completely denied that he knew about any drama being made on his daughter’s life. This is what he said:

“A group of people came to me and asked for permission to write a book on my daughter Qandeel. However, they did not mention anything about a TV serial to me. They asked for the rights and gave me a sum of Rs50,000 and didn’t offer further compensation.”

He further claimed that he would not have given any permission to making a drama on his daughter’s life:

“I did not know who they were nor had I ever met them before. They just asked me to sign a piece of paper. I’m a Baloch and I would not have given permission for a drama which would feature immodest acts.”

He claimed that he just signed a paper in the presence of his lawyer:

“My lawyer was there and even he doesn’t know of any mention of a drama.”On being asked about demanding financial help he said, “When we didn’t even know about the drama how could we have made any demands? We did not have any (financial) demands then. However, we are poor people and if they can help us then we will be grateful to them.”

Azeem’s lawyer has also said that he did not know about any drama being made!

PEMRA Directs TV Channels To Monitor Their Morning Shows

In this era of morning shows, there is hardly any one morning when the content or theme of the show is of ant social, academic or intellectual benefit to its audience or just anyone in the society. They range from silly superficial themes to some downright inappropriate acts during the early hours of the day.

PEMRA Directs TV Channels To Monitor Their Morning Shows

Pakistanis are often left wondering if there is any kind of check and control over these TV Channels and their morning shows regarding the quality of their content.

There is one such institution actually, even though it usually does not interfere due to the balancing act between freedom of expression and protection of societal moral values.

PEMRA Directs TV Channels To Monitor Their Morning Shows

After a lot of social media backlash against a particular morning show where the host had organised a dance competition between young kids on cheap Bollywood item numbers, PEMRA have taken notice. It has clearly issued directives to the TV Channels to monitor the content of their morning shows viligantly.

Everyone in Pakistan is so glad to see Supreme Court taking notice against all those platforms that are going against the laws and promoting such content on the screen.

 

Celebrities Demand #JusticeForAsma

Another dark day in the Republic. A third year MBBS student from Kohat was murdered in cold blood after she refused a marriage proposal.

Mujahid Afridi and his accomplice, identified as Sadiqullah, shot Asma Rani dead on Saturday after she reportedly turned down a marriage proposal by the former. Rani, a student in Ayub Medical College, had named Afridi as her killer in a statement before her death.

Celebrities from our entertainment industry are standing up for the justice. Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Armeena Khan took to Twitter to voice their concerns over the matter.

Hamza Ali Abbasi called out authorities to capture the murderer and tweeted,

“Mujahid Afridi is a cold blooded murderer who must be brought to justice asap. Arresting his brother for aiding his escape is fine but KP authorities must get him deported from Saudi Arabia and get him punished. May Allah’s curse be upon you Mujahid Afridi,” 

Mahira subtly conveyed her message and said,

“No outrage, no hue and cry seems to make a difference to those in power. Only thing that seems to change are the names attached to the hashtags,” 

Armeena expressed her disgust over the sad turn of events by saying,

“Okay, so now you’re killed because you say no to a marriage proposal? Wah banday teri Anah ko Salam. I’m actually at a loss of words. RIP Asma, hopefully you will not have died in vain. Maybe someone might take notice and change the system. I feel sick,”

She further added,

“There is a cultural war going on for the very soul of Pakistan, who we are as a people, these acts define us as a nation. On one side there is civil society and on the other barbarity. We all. Must decide which side we are on and fight for it as if our very breath depended on it.”

Celebrities Demand #JusticeForAsma

Rani was on vacation in her hometown Kohat when the incident happened, Kohat Development Authority police station SHO Gul Janan said. When she and her sister-in-law reached home on Saturday, Mujahid, accompanied by his brother opened fire at her as she got out of the rickshaw and fled the crime scene, the police official said.

She was shot thrice and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she died on Sunday, SHO Janan said.

Dar Si Jati Hei Sila Episode 13 Review – Quality Entertainment

This was another excellent episode of Dar Si Jati Hei Sila with meaningful conversations which said a great deal about the double standards which exist in our society and at the same time these conversations once again showed different shades of some of the characters. Who would have thought that Raheel will ultimately ask Sila the question he asked her tonight. Sila and Raheel’s scenes tonight, just like the previous episode, showed that Raheel wasn’t doing all this because he felt sorry for Sila but he really wanted to understand her. The way Raheel tried to convince everyone that Sila was not crazy showed that he believed in her and he was so sure that his faith in Sila could really change her for the better. Zaini was completely absent from tonight’s episode but because of Raheel and Sila’s scenes in particular, I didn’t miss her a lot although I am really looking forward to watching what she has to say about her marriage with Raheel in the next episode.

The character development in this play has also been slow but gradual and therefore convincing. There isn’t a single scene in this drama which has been added unnecessarily. There was a time when Raheel couldn’t stand Sila but now that he got an opportunity to know her better, it is almost as if he finds her fascinating. Yumna Zaidi yet again gave an outstanding performance even though tonight too she didn’t have a single dialogue to deliver. There were so many scenes in which she managed to convey what Sila was going through with precision only through her body language and expressions. Usama Tahir who is playing the role of Raheel has a different style of acting which has grown on me and he is definitely doing really well ever since Raheel started looking at things differently. The fact that his spoken Urdu is so impressive also helps since the script is such that only someone well acquainted with the language would have done justice to it. Raheel is gradually getting more interested in finding out why Sila rejected him especially because he saw his picture in Sila’s diary and knows that she liked him too.

Dar Si Jati Hei Sila Episode 13 Review - Quality Entertainment

Hatim and Sila’s scenes together yet again were extremely poignant. Sheikh Mubashar is so well-suited for playing this role and he shares amazing on screen chemistry with Yumna Zaidi – it is almost as if they actually are siblings! Hatim has no idea what is going on in Sila’s mind but he knows that he loves his sister and he is one of those few people in the house whose love is unconditional. Everything which was once “normal” for Sila, the moments these two shared which were once special are now just awkward for her because she knows Hatim is Joi’s son. There is so much going on in Sila’s mind yet she has decided to not say a word which makes you feel for her even more.

My favorite scene from tonight’s episode was the one in which Raheel appreciated Sila and wrote praise words on her arm. Sila was instantly reminded of all the times when she was rejected by people who should have loved and supported her. This scene said a great deal about why Sila wasn’t like Zaini or any other girl her age. After being repeatedly belittled by her father, tayee and even her own mother, it was difficult for her to accept this compliment without thinking about everything she had heard about herself in all these years.

The fact that Joi isn’t too happy about getting married and still insisted that he would much rather marry Sila showed what an evil person he was. He wants to continue making Sila and Sadia’s life hell which makes him a nasty sadist. While I abhor Joi’s character, I can’t praise Nauman Ijaz enough for doing complete justice to a very difficult character. Bari Apa’s dialogues were right on point tonight, although she runs the show in this house and wouldn’t let anyone go against her will but when it comes to choosing a wife for her beloved brother, she wants someone who will be dependent on her and will be completely submissive! This has to be so true for so many strong and vocal women out there! Saman Ansari’s realistic performance is always a treat to watch and makes it so easy to connect to her character. Sakina Samo is brilliant as Bari Apa – dictatorial, annoying and all over the place!

The entire team of Dar Si Jati Hei Sila deserves tons of appreciation for making a quality drama which also serves a bigger purpose. This drama has my undivided attention and I can’t wait to see what will happen next! How many of you watched tonight’s episode? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it.

Khudgarz Episode 13 & 14 Review – Brilliantly Executed!

Ohkay so, another week, another very interesting & convincing episode of Khudgarz. The reason why I loved watching this episode was the fact that the writer didn’t leave any loose ends because just when I would think something wasn’t taken care of, the writer made sure that wasn’t the case.

Aairah was suffering. The girl who believed in herself was now doubting everything around her. It was suffocating to see everything going wrong for Aairah where Hassan was winning against her & Aairah being someone who keeps everything to herself was keeping every little detail bottled up. Aairah thought resorting to sleeping pills would be fine but sharing everything with someone wasn’t. Unfortunately, Aairah was left alone, she didn’t have her father, she didn’t have Junaid, no one that would at least listen to her & assure her that they believed in her.

Munawwar made some declarations the moment Junaid came back & even though Junaid decieded to do what Munawwar asked him to, like attending the meetings & fulfilling his duties, he didn’t believe a single word that was spoken against Aairah. For the first time, Junaid gave Munawwar a reality check that no matter what, he can’t deny the fact that Hassan can go to any extreme to prove himself right.

To be honest, just when I was getting ticked off by Salma’s helplessness, the writer surprised me pleasantly by showing that Salma decided to stand up for the right too, despite not having much authority. I love the direction & the scriptwriting of Khudgarz for the fact that the viewers are given a little backstory, just when needed. Munawwar never really treated Salma as his wife & he always made sure to let her know that he was only fulfilling his responsibility, due to which in the very early stages of her marital life, she got to know that she will never be allowed to have a voice or any authority. I liked the fact that the writer showed no matter how much mistreatment a woman puts up with, when it comes to her children, she does what it takes to protect them. Junaid got to hear the truth from Salma & because she knew that both Aairah & Junaid were wronged, she not only sympathized with them but decided to support them as well. I loved it when Salma told Junaid to go to Aairah without paying heed to anything else because she will now take care of everything. It was nice to see that no matter how little she could do, she decided to retaliate to show Munawwar that she won’t keep quiet & won’t put up with his attitude!

I really don’t know what to say about Inayat. Even though I had an idea that he will lose his child but still seeing it happen was heart wrenching. It was sad that in the middle of all this, Inayat was a victim as well where Hassan framed him & used him in such a way that he couldn’t say no as he wanted to provide the best of everything to his wife & child. Sadly, Inayat ended up paying a huge price & what’s worse is that he was at the verge of telling everything to Salma but Hassan stepped in!

Abeer provided Aairah with the support that she needed in such a dark phase of her life. Abeer was doing exactly what Aairah did for her & it was nice to see Abeer being by her side. For obvious reasons, Abeer grew suspicious & felt that Aairah was keeping things to herself. Just when I wondered when will Abeer find out about Aairah’s relation with Hassan, that aspect was taken care of as well. Who would know Hassan better than Abeer? She knew that he was the reason why Aairah was suffering so much & decided to let Aairah know that she knows about Hassan now!

To be honest, seeing Junaid getting stuck in one situation after another was hard for me to digest initially. Also, I was unhappy with the fact that both Aairah & Junaid lost contact with each other whereas they always used to stay in touch through the phone so not sure why their timing wasn’t matching or why they were hesitant in calling when they needed each other the most. Even though Hassan kept telling lies but both Junaid & Aairah chose not to believe him despite having some doubts because they knew what Hassan was capable of. I literally sighed with relief when Junaid finally came to meet Aairah & that’s when I realized how amazingly this drama has been directed & how amazingly all the charcters have been written because while watching this episode, I was feeling uneasy seeing Aairah & Junaid struggling & when they both met each other, I felt happy. This shows how convincingly this script has been executed because of which I as a viewer have formed a connection with the characters & seeing them suffer was making me feel suffocated as well!

It is sad that Inayat paid a price for what he did but I so want Munawwar & then Hassan to be facing the consequences too. Even though Munawwar got a little warning from his employees about Hassan & his activities but still that cold hearted fellow chose to doubt & question Junaid, more like trying to turn him into a culprit while being totally aware that his son wasn’t a saint as well!

Hassan thought he scored a win against Aairah & Junaid. All the reasons he gave showed how sickly twisted he is; full of complexes & jealousy. I am sure he won’t be able to get away with everything so easily but since he has Munawwar’s blind support with him, he feels powerful at the moment!

Overall, this episode was phenomenal like all the previous episodes of Khudgarz. Yasir Nawaz surely has outdone himself & I am impressed with his precise approach towards a script like this where he knows how he has to execute certain things & most importantly when & because of that reason, everything is making such an impact, which is amazing. All the actors; Mansha Pasha, Amina Sheikh, Sami Khan & Syed Jibran have outdone themselves. Also, because Salma chose to speak up, I will say Shaheen Khan did a good job too. Please share your thoughts about this amazing episode of Khudgarz.

Hamza Ali Abbasi is an avid Imran Khan fan and a very active supporter of his party; Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf. He was very expressive on social media in favor of Imran Khan for a long time, and then he started anchoring a talk show on Bol Tv which shows his political inclination very clearly.

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 41 – Review!

Ohkay so, this drama is getting the much needed closure but since things are being wrapped up after 40 weeks/episodes, it is not making any impact that it should or would have if they had ended it at the right time!

Nazneen realized her mistake & understood that because she hurt Shahzeb, she failed at love, while completely forgetting that she once hurt Shammo too & got cursed by him. Anyways, Nazneen’s father once again got a chance to over-act now that he got some screen-time after ages! Nazneen met Shahzeb & also Zimmal. It is amusing how easily Nazneen enters everyone’s house as if the world owes it to her? Seriously, she should’ve refused to go to Shahzeb’s place because she is not a bechari anymore seeking shelter, she now has a chance to go back to her parent’s place after being forgiven by Shahzeb!

Shahzeb & Zimmal got married & found their happy ending/beginning. Zimmal got 3rd time lucky & Shahzeb the 2nd time. Finally!

Roshni making a pass at Basit is the most cheap & cringe worthy scenario of this entire drama. I thought Basit would accept her feelings but since he refused, Roshni should’ve let him be but looks like she picked the habit of being annoyingly clingy from Shaheer, considering she spent so much time with him before he hit Arsalan & went to jail. Not only this track is forced & unnecessary, the girl playing the role of Roshni makes it annoying to the core as well!

Rani went to see her mother but didn’t get the apology that she needed. Sad that Guddi got married at such a young age. Not sure why Barkat kept on crying for her daughter the whole time when she couldn’t bring herself to forgive her. Rani’s track & her supposed ending doesn’t interest me anymore. Shammo continues to be a filler & his flashback scene was also poorly done!

If they had cut down on the flashbacks, they could’ve easily wrapped this drama in this episode but oh well. I must say the producers should ask themselves as to what they achieved by ruining & dragging this drama? Nimra Khan, please take some acting classes if you want to pursue a career in acting because you’re really bad at it. Anyways, please share your thoughts about this episode of Alif Allah Aur Insaan.
