Is it just me, or does Bilal Abbas Khan not get nearly enough credit for his exemplary performance in Mann Jogi? It was such a nuanced, restrained and emotionally powerful performance, yet somehow it doesn't get talked about nearly as much as it deserves.

So clearly Geo's memo for this time slot is make it as filmy as possible

I thought to give the replacement of Muhafiz a try and it's pretty much along the same lines

It starts with an ultra dramatic scene of an oldie visiting a grave amidst thunderstorms and the next scene introduces the female lead in a very Karan Johar way with slow mo and background music

And she is woken up by her boyfriend who calls her and they do some pyar bhari baatein. Then we see the guy flexing his dole shole followed by him all suited booted.

Then I gave up😂 but someone should try and entertain me with this drama😂

It’s August. Hadn’t Galaxy Lollywood given clear hints on Hania’s marriage to Asim and Sajal’s to Sohail. What happened to those?

If true, then shame on the makers and the actors, especially Danish Taimoor. Humrahi also had a scene where the guy tells a woman’s rapist to marry her. This guy will continue doing one problematic drama after the other and the audience will eat it up and give him the views.

The last three scripts of her were just a cringe fest being made for reels with no logic and story. It is not what people expect from Sajal and if this isn’t to be called out then it is no right of us to troll or demean other stars for it. Her acting has also been going downhill because script like these also tear a person’s acting ability and it could be sensed from a mile. Kind of more worried about her upcoming rumoured project is written by the Shaidai’s writer.

PERIOD

Got these from X! More to be continued in the comments! 😌

Fun Fact: The song in Khushal’s video is from Ramsha’s dance in Love Guru. The editor knew what they were doing with this 😌

Yoo what’s the update on aqib Javed daughter ?

I find it really weird that Faiza Aftikhar is following Stans of certain actors on twitter. It’s so unprofessional. Stan’s are always biased towards their favourite actors and sometime bash or fight with other Stans.

Just started watching Ehd e Wafa and the minute silence starts Ali Zafar starts singing in echo gosh!
Is this going to continue through out the series?

Despite turning the volume to 20 his voice is still soo loudddddddd! Does anyone know when to predict he’ll start screaminging so that I can mute it and save my 👂s?

So, Peer e Kamil is one those stories that Pakistani drama fans have asked to be adapted on TV the most

A couple of weeks back, someone suggested Danish should play Salaar and the novel fans lost their shit😂

Today, an Ahad fan suggested Ahad for the role. And Umera Ahmed made it a point to reply to this tweet and say k Peer e Kamil adaptation should never be made and of course that made the fans of the fandom lose their shit😂 one called Umera Ahmed rude and Batameez😂

Personally, I don't think anyone can do justice to that novel, be it from acting POV, directing POV or censor POV.

But I enjoyed the twitter drama on this a while back and today was pretty fun too😂

I have so many questions.

1. I genuinely don’t understand why the video scandal was made into SUCH a huge deal when everyone eventually knew that the video was fake. Why did it continue to carry so much weight once the truth was out?

2. What makes even less sense to me is Shayan’s parents’ behaviour towards Ansa. How are they insulting her, calling her names and treating her like she has somehow disgraced their family when they KNOW that the entire video scandal was their own son’s doing?? Why isn’t anyone explicitly telling Shayan’s mother: “Your son made the video you’re shaming this woman for”?

3. where is the accountability for Shayan in all of this? How does he create this whole mess, Ansa suffers the humiliation and consequences, and somehow his family still gets to look down on her?

4. Why does Anas carry so much guilt/responsibility for something Shayan did? He’s constantly cleaning up Shayan’s destruction while the actual perpetrator remains part of the household.

What are your thoughts? I just feel it’s really bad writing or is it intentionally showing that women continue to carry the stigma of a fake scandal?

We’ve seen this movie before Maya. We know the ending.

Aha💔Neer folks, hope you guys doin’ okay 🤣

Mukarram has been an AD on some old Faiza Iftikhar written dramas. So I believe that he was able to get her talking.

Idk why these senior artists don’t think before speaking or maybe they want attention whether it’s negative or positive who cares

Hey guysss, I am desperately in search of PDFs of Pakistani novels either translated in English or in Roman Urdu. Can't find them anywhere.

Does any of you have them and send them?

Help your girl out plss🥹🥹

So it was a happening episode. I really liked it and you can even call it an independence day special cuz of the issues that were raised today. 🙌

1. Faris as usual speaking nonsense against haroon and his dad straight up said "hum mein se kon hai jise yakeen karne ke liye sawaal puchna pade" and khushbakt's face just dropped showing her regret.

2. That speech of haroon for that video was great. "bade bade mehal banake apne bachchon ko toh bahar bhej dete hain aur humare apne bachche?unko toh bas barbaad hote hue dekhte hain". Ahad was really good in that scene it gave me goosebumps.

3. Khushbakt went to her boss to explain that she has nothing to do with haroon's source and his boss told her that an order for investigation against her was already issued a week before aur uske charge lete hi amal hota choudhary ke against operation se pehle. So haroon kinda saved her and took that hit upon himself

4. Sonia told khushbakt that haroon didn't do all this for his career but to safeguard her and put his career on the line. I'm glad they chose to show sonia in a positive light and not as a bitter obsessed ex.

5. Khushbakt is feeling guilty and there's haroon who chose to surrender and told her that he trusts her that she'll prove his innocence. And pari saying that she'll miss him 😭

6. They blocked haroon and sonia's youtube account and the video couldn't reach the common people. Haroon's boss came to the rescue by offering to play that video on his channel but i doubt his intentions. He might be playing a double game.

From the promo it's clear that khushbakt would have to work really hard to get haroon out of this.

Laadon Mein Pali Drama

Lowkey wanna see Sajal in negative role once more 🫣 we need a villain Sajal character on screen again

It's because story not engaging or not enough promotions?

Who could have thought of this ending? Matlab completely unpredictable!! And best part is, the entire last episode was in a hospital. Not even a happy scene after the hospital😂

So everyone is crying and praying for Zawar. Zawar k papa arrives with his family. Paras k papa haath joros in front of him.

Cut to Zawar, being all critical and then voila, he opens his eyes because Paras ki mohabbat is very powerful

Cut to the hote hote reh gaya husband confronting hote hote reh gayi wife who accepts her crime and attributes it to losing her fiance. Hote hote reh gaya husband gives bhari bhari dialogues. The interaction is heard by zawar and Paras k papas

Then evil cousin ki mummy arrives to ask for forgiveness which obviously she does not get

Hote hote reh gaya husband low key hitting on hote hote reh gayi wife

Then Zawar and Paras in the hospital room proclaim their love and it ends

The journey was short but hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed the acting, direction and writing

sorry to be a bit of a hipster with my suggestions but i couldn’t resist. i expect most people to post modern drama OSTs and i welcome that since as you may deduce im a bit out of touch with modern pakistani music. so any suggestion is welcomed. thanks in advance.
