Thirty two episodes in and Nikhar Gaye Gulab Sare is still going strong. I look forward to my daily dose of this soap as routinely as I do my daily newspaper. With a story that is spread over a vast canvas and numerous intertwined but well-defined tracks there is enough masala here to ensure interest does not lag. Writer Nadia Akhtar and director Asim Ali are doing an excellent job in maintaining a tight grip on the narrative and sustaining the fast pace. The technical facilities are top notch and the acting, with a few exceptions, is very good. In short, I continue to be intrigued by all the going-ons in this family saga, replete as it is with equal measures of romance, hate, lust, greed, murder, kidnapping, revenge, corruption – you name it and it’s there.


The main track of the story has revolved around Malik Firozedin’s children and their families, in the village and in the city. Malik Durab, Firozedin’s grandson, a village feudal and resident baddie, is engaged to his lovely cousin doctor Sheheryal, an idealist who is not too keen on making a match of it with her debauched cousin. Thus their proposed marriage date is pushed forward by a few months. Apart from being a lecher, Durab is corrupt to the core, and is engaged in a full-on business rivalry with Sahir, Sheheryal’s older brother, and also implicated in the murder of Sahir’s lawyer.


Also in the village is Sikander, the unacknowledged son of Firozedin’s daughter, who has been raised by a family maid and looks upon her daughter, Kausar, as his sister. With his own brand of charm, Sikander seems to have attracted the attention of the ladies in and around the haveli. Another intriguing character in the haveli is that of Saima, abandoned by her husband. There is an air of mystery around his whereabouts. MIA though her husband might be, the frustrated Saima is certainly not sitting around twiddling her thumbs; her nefarious plans caused a lot of chaos, leading to Kausar’s untimely death. After this tragedy, Sikander has brought his heartbroken foster mother to the city and entrusted Sheheryal with her care, while he has sworn to avenge Kausar’s murder.


Kausar’s exit has paved the way for the entry of Mehreena Malik, a girl Saud, Sheheryal’s younger brother is interested in. Mehreen is a girl with a lot of serious issues with men. From her mother, Yasmin’s suspicious attitude it is clear that there are a boatload of past grievances waiting to be aired out in future episodes. For the time being Saud’s family has agreed to take his rishta to Mehreena’s house. Waiting to see how Saud’s family deals with the rejection that is bound to happen.


Another story working in tandem is that of Zarlala, whose past still remains murky. After several twists she has ended up working in Durab’s office and caught his eye. Meanwhile she has also attracted Sahir’s attention, and the two cousins are almost certainly going to come to blows over their professional and personal rivalry. Given that the “official” synopsis provided by HUM TV describes Zarlala as the pivot around whom the story revolves, it is surprising that out of all others, this is the one track that has completely failed to attract attention. A huge part of this failure must be attributed to the actress Sana Ismail. She has completely failed at evoking any sympathy; watching her fully made-up expressionless face I can only laugh whenever Zarlala is supposed to be worried about her future. Hers is the only part of the story I fast forward routinely.


Another actor who is failing to impress is Hassan Niazi, not due to lack of acting skills, but because of his mature appearance. He does not look like a college student by any stretch of the imagination and neither does he look like Sheheryal’s younger brother. I wish they had cast the net a bit further while looking for an actor to play Saud. Apart from these two incongruities, the rest of the actors are doing a great job. Imran Aslam, Mawra, Shamoon Abbasi, Sabreen Hisbani, and Faisal Rehman, are all doing justice to their parts. Shazia Afgan’s track has just begun, but she has me intrigued.


So yes, so far Nikhar Gaye Gulab Sare has definitely not disappointed. I only hope that the story continues on this even pace and resists the temptation to stretch like a rubber band. I have tons of questions that I look forward to getting answered in a timely manner.

Review of Mera Saaein 2 – The Sequel by Ary Digital Episode 13

Review of Mera Saaein 2 – The Sequel by Ary Digital Episode 13


Mera Saaein 2 is The Sequel of Super Hit Play Mera Saaein

Director:Babar Javed

Co-Director:Furqan Khan

Writer:Parisa Siddiqi

Cast:Fahad Mustafa,Waseem Abbas,Sunnita Marshall,Amina Sheikh,Shahood alvi,Mahnoor Baloch,Rashid Farooqui,nousheen Shah, Aiza Khan, zayla, Anoushe abbasi, adnan jaffer, mudassir, maheen rizvi and Others



I’m not even sure that I’ll be able to write this review and do justice to this powerful episode. Yes, it was pretty powerful, but at the same extent, I do have mixed emotions. Throughout this drama, I try my best to not compare this sequel with the original, but that’s sort of hard to do, because it’s more of a continuation of the first. I honestly did enjoy the prequel, because it was just more realistic. However, MS2 is exaggerated at points, but true at other degrees. So, it may not be better than the first, but it’s still enjoyable.


Going along with the plot, one action lead to the consequences of many other reactions. Firstly, Shazmeen got a verbal slap by her daughter that sort of put her back into reality that her daughter is far more important than her political career, and that she needs to get her act together. I for one, completely agreed with Erum. And then, the horrible news came – Shahzaman had ruthlessly murdered Faraz and Anum. Since he has no emotions or feelings, he felt no remorse at all. But, politics always finding a way, so they all, and by ‘they’ I mean Naina and her family, find a way to blame their murder on Shazmeen. Not the smartest idea ever, but still, pretty clever. I guess to be a politician, you have to keep yourself safe, even though you might completely destroy someone else’s life. And the episode ended with a whole new conspiracy that was about to be played by both families.


Shahzaman is one troubled character. Whatever he did was totally wrong, heartless, and brutal, but what has to be kept in mind is that he was trained to be that way as he was growing up. And for that, you only have one person to blame – Malik Yawar. Shahzaman might not show emotions, but you can see that he can totally pretend and act them out, as was shown towards the end of the episode. So he’s cold-blooded, but you can’t place the entire blame on him. He’s not normal, he’s simply insane and psychotic. Combine that with some political status, and you’ve got yourself some bad news right there.


In short, a wonderful episode, though the shots did seem a bit more filmy at times. Let’s see what direction the drama is going to go in now. It isn’t looking too good for Shazmeen right now. What side are you guys on – Team Shazmeen or Team Naina? I’m on Team Shazmeen definitely!

Review of Meray Dard Ko Zuban Miley by HUM TV Episode 3

Review of Meray Dard Ko Zuban Miley by HUM TV Episode 3


Writer:Bushra Ansari

Director:Adnan Ahmed

Production: Moomal Productions

Cast:Bushra Ansari,Serwat Gillani,Behroz Sabzwari,Alishba yousaf,Lubna Aslam,Khalid Anum,Shehryar Munawar,Rija Ali




I will be honest. I was not really enthusiastic about watching the third episode of MDKJZM after seeing the preview last week – for the sheer personal and very painful reason that the visuals (at least in the promo) brought back the traumatic memories that I have been trying to erase from my grey matter for the past three and a half years. It’s the horror and fear of waking up and seeing three masked men in your bedroom, brandishing a gun at you and your spouse, demanding to know where you have “hidden” your jewellery and why it is so less, going through all your possessions and taking away every last asset you own. Somehow, I was sure Zakia and her family will be going through exactly that – with the added heroics of Urooj – and I felt I’d rather skip the whole thing. But come Saturday and I found myself in front of the laptop at 8:00 pm, loading Hum TV’s Live TV only to get a “no signal” in return. Sigh!


Anyway, so when I finally got around to watching it later, I was extremely relieved to note that the episode at least started on a cheerful note – the interaction of the two families, which is always so amazingly done that it brings a smile to your face. This time, it was the parting wave to Amna to Urooj, and the latter’s expressions that made me go all “awwwwww”. As I noted in my previous review, Amna and Urooj share an awesome chemistry, and I just cannot wait to see more of their scenes in the subsequent episodes.


Kamran, the evil brother-in-law of Zakiya, is apparently more evil than we would like to believe. For some reason, his blacker than black character is not really making sense – whenever characters such as these are shown, I always wonder they are the way they are. I think in this case, he is simply jealous of Abdur-Rehman and Zakiya’s success (though really, he seems to have as big a house and as lavish a lifestyle!). The way Kamran sneaked into Zakiya’s room and humiliated his wife had me gritting my teeth and wondering when we would see less of Kamran and more of Amna/Urooj and Junaid/Arifa.


The not-so-awaited scene came all too soon, and while I tried to forward most of it, I did raise my eyebrows at least at two points. First and foremost, it is highly unusual for such “intruders” to leave their faces uncovered. They usually cover them so as to remain unidentifiable. Secondly, and most importantly, they never ask for cheques as they can easily be traced.


Apart from that and overall, it was again an amazing episode! Looking forward to next week already!
