Bridal Couture Week 2017 – Day One
Friday night saw some of the biggest names of our entertainment industry walking the ramp at the Hum Bridal Couture Week.
The day one of the bridal wear extravaganza showcased exquisite collections by Amir Adnan, Yasmin Zaman, Rizwan Ahmed, Impulses by Ayesha Farid, Naushad Imad, Arsalam Iqbal, Gogi by Hassan Riaz and HSY. Many stars were seen strutting bridal collections by burgeoning fashion designers of Pakistan.
Here’s a sneak peek into BCW day one:
Titlee Episode 11 – Hania Amir Steals The Show
This episode of Titlee once again showed how Naila’s mother constant support gave her even more confidence to continue doing what was clearly very wrong. Instead of finding a way out of the situation, Naila’s mother made excuses for her multiple times. I must say that even after all these weeks Hania Amir continues to give a brilliant performance and Naila’s character is still as interesting as it was in the first episode. Even though there isn’t anything positive about her character but she is clearly someone who the viewers would love to hate! I also love the way the writer has shown just how selfish and manipulative Naila is. She fought with her sister and later on regretted it only because she had no one to leave her daughter with. She asked Ahmed to come and give her money even though she cannot stand to be around him! Naila knows all about her rights but it is almost as if she has no clue that she has some responsibilities too. She lives in her own world in which everyone should do everything according to her wishes and thanks to her mother so far she has managed to get away with a lot. Saba Faisal is fast becoming one of my favorite actresses not only because of her perfect performances but also because of the fact that she chooses to play different roles and nails them every single time. She is very convincing as the mother who is constantly covering up for her daughter without thinking what effect it could have on her personality or her married life. Just like Hania Amir, this roles doesn’t really go along with Saba Faisal’s graceful personality but she manages to pull it off almost effortlessly. Hania Amir makes you hate Naila’s character by bringing all her negative traits to life on screen through her convincing performance, even though she has a cute and innocent face.
I absolutely loved the change in Zara’s personality and the manner in which she interacted with her bajjo in this episode. After asking her mother repeatedly to talk to Naila, she finally decided that she needed to put her foot down. Everything she said to Naila was right on point and Naila’s reaction to it was also completely in line with her personality. Shahmeen Khan is a confident actress who knows exactly what is expected from her. I would love to see her in more meaty roles in the future because she has tons of talent. One of the main reasons why I look forward to and enjoy watching this drama is that all the characters make perfect sense. There is a good reason why all of them react in a certain manner. Ahmed is slowly getting tired of putting up with Naila’s tantrums and it was actually good to hear him suggesting that he should talk to Naila’s father. His parents however are just too sharif. Ali Abbas is also a very talented actor who is constantly experimenting not only with his roles but also his looks. The episode ended with Ahmed finally telling Naila’s brother that she was the one who wanted to live in a separate house and the preview of the next episode suggested that Ahmed might be thinking about leaving Naila.
Am I the only one who finds Amir and his wife terribly annoying? How many of you are still enjoying watching this play? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about this episode.
“Udaari was a great but very, very tough experience for me because of the script,” shares Ahsan Khan
Ahsan Khan is one such actor who managed to win over the audiences even as a negative character. He has proved his mettle in Pakistan’s drama industry with various acting trysts and is all set to be seen in two upcoming films, Chupan Chupai and Rehbraa but we still miss him as Pa Imtiaz.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, Ahsan said “Udaari was a great but very, very tough experience for me because of the script. When I first read it, I just knew it was going to be something special and the story just needed to be told. I worked very hard for my character; I wanted to make sure that the message of the serial reached everyone, that the taboos around it are broken. Udaari became a game changer of our industry because no one else had done anything like it.”
“I kept telling our director Mohammed Ehteshamuddin to tone down the aggression. I had never seen such things in my life so it became even harder to get into character, especially for the molestation scenes.”
“I’ve always wanted to be an actor. I was always fond of acting, dancing, singing and performing in general. As a child, I watched many films, acted in school plays and even in front of the mirror. It’s been quite a journey. I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes and struggles,” he added.
“I make sure Ahsan Khan is original. I’ve worked with the best and the worst directors, which has shaped me as an individual. Acting is not just performing your lines; it’s a test of patience,” he said. “It improves your learning skills.”
When asked about his upcoming films, Ahsan replied, “Chupan Chupai is a satire about unemployment and how today, youngsters deal with it is. The cast includes Javed Sheikh, Sakina Sumo and Neelum Munir. As for Rehbraa, we’ve got Ayesha Omar and Ghulam Mohiuddin too. Both films are very interesting and entertaining.”
“I actually turned down four major film offers recently, as I had committed to TV already. I believe that television is our forte; no Pakistani actor should neglect it. We have a great niche market for our dramas, both locally and abroad,” he stated. “I, for one, could never abandon a medium which brought me so much respects and success.”
“Up until now, Lollywood was like a regional film industry, rather than mainstream Pakistani cinema. Syed Noor and Shoaib Mansoor kept it alive but there were very few Urdu films being produced then,” he said.
He also feels it is unfair to compare Lollywood with the Indian film industry, with there being a major disparity between both. “Bollywood has government support and phenomenal revenue. The entire budget for one Pakistani film is what India spends on just one film song! Here in Pakistan, we are doing things on our own, trying to provide entertainment with limited resources and without external support or formal training schools, etc. What we lack are good scripts. Our films should not look like TV serials.”
Ahsan has been approached by producers from Bollywood as well. “I had been meeting with some directors but then things started heating up on the political front. I think I’d still consider going there if the project is good and allows me to maintain my dignity as a Pakistani actor. If not, I have plenty of great work, love and success in Pakistan already.”

Noman Ijaz and Sawera Nadeem’s next drama will talk about men’s midlife crisis
Noman Ijaz is known for doing intense roles which are very well received by the audience.
His upcoming drama called Daagh is direct by Zeeshan Khan which also stars Sawera Nadeem and the theme is midlife crisis.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BQjp1TUjGs2/?tagged=saweranadeem
“The purpose of the drama is to make families realise that a midlife crisis is not a medical disorder but a psychological and behavioral observation that commonly occurs among individuals between the ages 40 and 60,” the director shared with Images.
“Symptoms differ in a diverse manner for each individual. While some individuals may experience feelings of depression, remorse, and anxiety, others may experience feelings such as the desire to achieve youthfulness or make drastic changes to their current lifestyle or atmosphere.”
https://www.instagram.com/p/BMWXiYZgLvd/
The drama also aims to highlight:
“how to judge the behavioral changes that men go through while experiencing a midlife crisis. It can help the partners or families to figure out if someone in the fold is going through this. Like if someone suddenly starts making impetuous decisions, changes in personal lifestyle or appearance, feeling overly nostalgic are just some highlighted changes that can help identify a midlife crisis,” reveals Khan.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BJDDjHrjxlk/
The director has mentioned that drama will focus on men going through a midlife crisis and there is no mention of women. It will only be revealed once the drama air.
The drama also stars Shermen Ali, Seemi Pasha, Minal Khan, Areesha Razi, Hajra Khan, Tara Mehmood, Ahmed Zaib, Muzzaffar Abbas and others.
Ijaz previously had an intense role in Khan too.

Upcoming Drama, Ilteja will talk about raising children with physical disabilities
Pakistani dramas have come a long way. We have moved a little away from the same old theme of family politics. With dramas like Udaari and Khuda Mera Bhi Hai which talked about child sexual abuse and raising intersex children respectively, Pakistani dramas are now breaking stereotypes.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BOj2wY7gLoS/
Adding to the list of such dramas now is the upcoming drama called Ilteja which will explore the theme of parents raising children with physical disabilities in a Pakistani society.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BOWli4CAmzx/
Saji Gul has written the script for the drama and the production is by Sana Shahnawaz The drama stars Affan Waheed, Tooba Siddiqui, Rubina Ashraf and Imran Ashraf.

Nazr e Bad Episode 19 & 20 Review – Still Going Strong!
Ohkay so, like all the previous episodes of Nazr e Bad, these two episodes were convincing & interesting too. It is commendable that even after so many weeks have passed, this drama still has something new to offer every time. I can’t emphasize enough on the fact that the amount of research that has gone into this project is praise worthy. Even though this story has all those ingredients which these days drama-makers resort to in order to grab the ratings but when it comes to Nazr e Bad, the team has used these things to serve a bigger purpose, which is to inform & educate people about the lengths people can go to in order to harm others.
So, just after Maham lost her baby, she wasn’t in her senses anymore. Aftab tried really hard to bring himself to start afresh but seems like Maham wasn’t in her right state of mind, obviously, losing baby was one reason but the main reason was Parvez’s continuous attempts of drifting Maham & Aftab apart. It was actually quite shocking to see Salma using this entire episode to torture Maham further but even though Maham would’ve never done anything of that sort in normal circumstances, she finally decided to stand up for herself. Even though what Maham did was so unlike her but at that moment I felt Salma deserved it, for all the things she has said to Maham all this while & for everything that she put Maham through.
I must say, the way they have shown that it only takes 1 envious soul or only 1 enemy to rip everything apart is eye-opening & shocking at the same thing. Even though Almas is responsible for how she has raised Parvez with so much of negativity & so many complexes but at this stage, Parvez is the real culprit, the actual enemy who has ruined so many lives & has broken a couple of marriages too. The way the drama-makers have covered the entire aspect of how it all started to where it has come to is mind-blowing because no one can deny this reality & I believe so many people can actually relate to the things that are being shown in Nazr e Bad.
So, Parvez knew that he had to give a final blow to Aftab & Maham’s marriage & he decided to turn Aftab into an addict because then Parvez knew that he wouldn’t even have to do anything as Aftab under the influence of intoxication will do the rest. Parvez hit the bulls-eye with this move because Aftab ended up divorcing Maham. It was actually sad to see Aftab turning into such a weak man who ended up succumbing to the pressures & decided to call everything quits. This is another brilliant aspect which has been covered that only a few people are able to take so much of pressure & emerge victorious out of it whereas the rest of them only end up following the lead & lose everything that they have!
Aneesa thinks she has hit the jackpot now that she has found a guy like Parvez who can help her with her business. It didn’t even take a second for Parvez to plant a seed of doubt in Aneesa’s mind against her husband. Even though Aneesa is the one who makes decisions independently but drifting her apart from her husband would benefit Parvez even more because in the future, Aneesa won’t have anyone who’d speak to her against Parvez, may be this was the main reason why he chose to confirm her doubts that she had regarding her husband.
So, now that Maham is divorced, Parvez thinks no one can stop him from getting married to her. I must say the scene in which Parvez goes to the Masjid was executed so well & was probably my favorite scene from the entire episode. It was so obvious that just because Parvez has gone way ahead in this dark path, he was unable to cope up with the energies present in the Masjid & because of that, his heart wasn’t at peace. Parvez was also left speechless when he was asked about his earnings, like even though Parvez has a conscience but just because he has blinded himself in the pursuit of achieving what he wants through black magic, he has no other choice than to just ignore the voice at the back of his head that is telling him that he is wrong.
Another thing that they revealed was about the magicians being unable to have an offspring of their own. This was the detail that they covered in the initial episodes where they showed that Shamsi Chacha didn’t have a child of his own & even his adoptive son wasn’t mentally & physically stable. Parvez actually thought that apart from Maham, he wouldn’t need anything but just the thought of not having a child did shake Parvez a bit. I think it is quite intelligent of the writer & the director where after showing series of mishaps that Parvez has instigated, they are now hinting on the fact that Parvez’s conscience isn’t allowing him to be completely peaceful or satisfied. Initially, Parvez was only focused on bringing Maham into his life that he didn’t really bother about the heavy price that he’d have to pay but every now & then all those thoughts are creeping into his mind where he is forced to think about the things Shamsi warned him about.
Overall, I had a great time watching these two episodes. Another scenario that made a lot of sense was that Nusrat finally got to be at her home because Shafeeq not only left but gave the ownership of the house to Nusrat too so that at least she can have a roof over her head. Now that Maham is divorced, I think it was quite intelligently shown that just in the nick of time, Nusrat got the ownership of the house so that at least she along with Maham & her son Baber can live in the home which belonged to her. At this stage I am not too sure about Aneesa’s track & I wish she doesn’t get a lot of coverage in the episodes to come. Also, I really think it’s about time for Nusrat & Maham to solve the puzzle & find out about the real culprit who is responsible of ruining their lives. I can’t wait for that to happen. I must say, so far each & every single actor has done a commendable job but this week, Sara Khan took the crown for portraying Maham’s anger to perfection, like Sara Khan made sure all the viewers understood what Maham was going through & how she was not herself anymore because of all the things that she endured, it was phenomenally done by Sara Khan. I can’t wait for the next set of episodes already. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Nazr e Bad.
Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Vidya Balan’s Begum Jaan won’t release in Pakistan
Begum Jaan starring Vidya Balan, its trailer has received a lot of praises. People have a lot of expectations from the Srijit Mukherji film.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BRX9QJNBs3_/?taken-by=balanvidya&hl=en
The Indian adaptation of the Mukherji’s Bengali film Rajkahini, shows the backdrop of the India-Pakistan Partition. According to Times of India, the film will not be released in Pakistan because it highlights the country in a negative light.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BRiNHDKFHuW/
The Producer of the film, Mahesh Bhatt has even reportedly written to the Pakistan government to allow the release of the film. However, he has yet to receive their reply and approval.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BRiN7FPFDMR/
It definitely seems like that Begun Jaan just like Mahira Khan’s Raees won’t be making it to Pakistani cinemas and others like Neerja and Akshay Kumar’s Jolly LLB2. It is also being said that the tense relationships between Indi and Pakistan is also a reason for the film not getting its official April 14 release in Pakistan.
Mahira Khan Opts Out Of Bilal Lashari’s Next Tentatively Titled Maula Jatt 2
There’s a sad news for all Mahira Khan fans out there because the diva has most certainly opted out of Bilal Lashari’s next, tentatively titled Maula Jatt 2.
According to reports from Dunya News, Mahira Khan has decided to leave the film due to her busy schedule. She is currently shooting for Shoaib Mansoor’s Verna and Saat Din Mohabbat In.
The report also states that MK has also rejected a few TV dramas owing to her hectic schedule.
Bilal Lashari’s next is a high budget reboot of cult classic Maula Jatt, expected to hit the screens by late 2017. Fawad Khan, Humaima Malick and Hamza Ali Abbasi are already shooting for the film.
Chalay Thay Saath’s First Song ‘Pariyaan’ Touches The Heart
Chalay Thay Saath is all set to release on the 21st of April and we can’t wait to watch the film since it promises to be a journey of love and friendship. The makers of Chalay Thay Saath released the first song Pariyaan, and we have helplessly fallen in love with the track.
The video song shows friendship and also highlights the relationship between Resham (Syra Shehroze) and Adam (Kent S. Leung).
Sung by Shahab Hussain, and written by Shahab Hussain and Zeeshan Lalani, the beautiful melody is not to be missed.
The highlight of the song is the exquisite video which is shot in scenic locations like Hunza, making it a visual treat. Judging from the song, seems like the film is going to be high on emotions.

Just recently, a girl on twitter passed a rude comment about Momina’s hair colour.
Is there a reasonable justification for @MominaMustehsan's red/burgundy/whatever the hell its called, colored hair?

The Afreen Afreen star chose not to stay quiet on the matter and replied the troll in a cool way.
Yes. It's called freedom of expression ☺️ it lets you be whatever/however you want to be. That's reasonable enough, I guess? Lol https://t.co/zvbKljdmeN

Muqabil Episode 17 Review – What A Twist!
The real surprise and the twist we had all been waiting for came in the later half of this episode and I have to say that Muqabil continues to be amazing in so many ways even after all these weeks. The scene in the pool was beyond exceptional not only because it covered the most important development in this episode but also because of the way it was shot. The acting, camera angles, the direction and not to mention the location was right on point. The director conveyed everything perfectly through the expressions and gestures of the actors involved. This scene proved what an exceptional director Ali Hassan is because if he wanted he could have shortened this scene but then it wouldn’t have the impact it had. The only thing which looked somewhat out of place was Mohsin Abbas Haider and Kubra Khan’s perfectly styled hair after the intense scene in the pool. Other than that Mohsin Abbas Haider and Kubra Khan nailed their scenes once again. Both of them deserve tons of appreciation for giving this drama their best. Arman’s reaction after he found out who had violated Pareesa when she was a kid was also shown brilliantly.
This episode opened with Pareesa’s parents discussing how content they were with the way things turned out for their daughter thinking that she was finally happy. Everything was perfect in the first half, even Zubeida who is always complaining had few good things to say about madam for a change. The most important scenes were the ones in which Mahmood was shown content because he thought he had gotten away with what he had done to Pareesa! His conversation with the maulvi sahab was brief but it was very impactful. What maulvi sahab said to him was spot on and exactly what everyone wanted to hear. All this time Mahmood has been thinking about himself, how he can escape what he had done and whether he would be able to move on but he did not pause to think about Pareesa even once. He never thought about how he changed that little girl’s life for the worst forever which basically goes to show that he isn’t really “sorry” . That one line which maulvi sahab said should have been enough to make him reflect upon what he had done but that did not happen. He does not think he should be punished but he thinks he should be forgiven because he has been repenting for so long. Mahmood is another example of one of those people who twist religion to suit their needs. He has been asking Allah for forgiveness but he is not willing to pay for what he did! Asif Raza Mir has breathed life into a character which is not an easy one to translate on screen. He is at that stage of his career where he did not need to experiment with a role which was completely different from every other role he has played in his career therefore I am especially impressed that he made this choice.
Pareesa’s reaction was also covered in a realistic manner. One of the main reasons why Muqabil is one of my most favorite plays is that it is not only thoroughly entertaining but the story has always been unpredictable and logical. Saife Hassan and Saba Hameed’s natural acting and the way their scenes were penned down and directed made their scenes enjoyable.
Everyone who gave up on Muqabil after watching the last two episodes, should tune into it this week and they will most certainly tune into it next week too! Can’t wait to find out how the story unfolds from here on. This episode had plenty of scenes which could have been chopped down, I hope that the pace of the drama doesn’t slow down now because so far Muqabil has been phenomenal.
How many of you watched this episode? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it.
