  • ‘Aane ka, jaane ka’ Shamoon Abbasi criticises language in Gentleman

    ‘Aane ka, jaane ka’ Shamoon Abbasi criticises language in Gentleman

    Senior actor Shamoon Abbasi has criticised the language used in the recently concluded crime drama Gentleman, stating that the words and phrases in the drama are not commonly spoken in Pakistan.

    Recently, he appeared on the show Kya Drama Hai, where he shared his thoughts on Gentleman and expressed his disapproval of the language used in the drama.

    “The first thought that came to my mind as soon as I watched the drama was that the language used wasn’t ours,” he said.

    Abbasi believes Humayun Saeed’s character uses phrases such as ‘aane ka, jaane ka, bole to’ that are not typically spoken in our culture.

    Host Nadia Khan also pointed out that Yumna Zaidi’s character uses “Bole To” in the drama, to which Shamoon Abbasi responded, saying, “She shouldn’t have used those words as they were unnecessary.”

    “The language in ‘Gentleman’ is not commonly spoken here and does not reflect our own,” he added.

    Although Shamoon Abbasi praised Saeed for his acting, he felt that his role as a gangster in Gentleman didn’t suit him. “It seemed as though he wasn’t fully prepared for the role, or perhaps the character wasn’t written well,” he said.

    Commenting further on the drama, the senior actor added that while Khalilur Rehman Qamar is a talented writer, “he didn’t succeed with this particular play. The characters and storyline were not well-written.”

    Shamoon Abbasi advised Humayun Saeed, “It would be better if he avoided taking on such roles under pressure.”

    Who is Khaled Anam calling unqualified celebrities?                   

      
     
    In the field of entertainment and television, Khaled Anam stands out not only for outstanding acting skills but also for being very candid.
     
     
    The actor cum singer was no less candid when he appeared as a guest on ‘Haute Talk with Hassan Choudhary’. Anam expressed frustration with unqualified critics who share negative opinions on social media about drama serials.
     
    Hassan Choundhary asked “So, what feedback are you receiving feedback about ‘Gentleman’ from friends, family, views, and fans?”

    Anam replied, “Gentleman has been getting good feedback till now. Most importantly, people like the character of a progressive father. He is a strong character, and I am hoping that I am able to portray it well. But then there is this program on television, where actresses showed up and were reviewing dramas, and according to them, it is this very bad character who is trying to get his daughter involved with a man.”

     
    The Gentlemen actor went on to say, “They took it badly, that’s their opinion. These things shouldn’t be happening. Reviewers need to be qualified to critique a drama, based to what we were taught during our theater training.”  
     
     Anam emphasized the importance of qualified criticism:

    “A person cannot critique something if they haven’t studied theater. You have no right to criticize something just because you don’t like it. Only someone who has studied acting and theater can give criticism. It’s okay, they’re just friends, and they’re just doing a show. Apart from that, social media is a really dangerous thing because everyone believes they have the right to criticize and degrade others.”
     
    Here is the video of Nadia Khan who talked about Zarnab’s father.

  • Gentleman takes dramatic turn with latest episode

    This week’s episode of Gentleman and the one preceding it have become the turning point for the drama that explored Karachi’s underbelly.

    The narrative now belongs to Zarnab. With her brilliant acting skills, Yumna Zaidi aced the emotional scenes as Zarnab praying for Muna at the Hospital. Zarnab’s father stays beside her and the bonding between father and daughter is outstanding.

    Dilbar sticks with Muna even in the most difficult times. Here we cannot ignore Zulmi’s love for Muna as well. Muna is the luckiest person because he has got some true friends. The conversation between Dilbar and Zarnab impressed the viewers of Gentlemen. People also enjoyed the joke session between Zarnab’s father, Zulmi, and Dilbar. 

    Waqar Sahib, Zarnab’s father, has admitted by staying at the hospital that Muna is a good man. Faris, however, came across as a narcissist, more concerned about his career with no space for Mifra.

    It is surprising to see that Mifra pretends to know a lot about Faris. During episode 13, her dialogues were on point, and I was really impressed by the conversation between her and Faris when she said, “You neither knew how to love her (Zarnab) nor how to be unfaithful; what will you do with me? If tomorrow that gangster (Muna) survives and Zarnab says she has fallen in love with him, will you come to me with your wounds?”

    The scene depicts the reality of most men in our society and their approach towards women.

    Zarnab’s performance made fans feel emotional in the scene where she was talking with Muna and the dialogue really went viral. “Tum marna mat Muna, mein tumhay jeeta huwa dekhna chahti hu”. Even I can Muna’s hope for a new life.

    At the end of episode 14, Waqar Sahab did a great job. He ended Zarnab’s engagement with Faris, admitting that he is not a suitable man for his daughter. The way he called Faris a “Thug” caught viewers’ attention.

    Waqar Sahab added that anyone in uniform who takes bribes is also a thug. Zarnab’s father completely supported her decision, highlighting the importance of a supportive father in a daughter’s life.

    Let’s see what happens in the remaining episodes of Gentleman. Will Zarnab gradually fall in love with Muna in the upcoming episodes?

    Adnan Siddiqui talks about Humayun Saeed’s funny comment on his roles 

    The dynamic duo of Pakistani television, Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui, consistently captivate audiences with their on-screen chemistry.  

    Recently the two A-listers appeared as guests on ‘Fuchsia Magazine’, where both discussed professional insecurities. 
    “Adnan used to quietly take the good roles,” Humayun said.

    Adnan responded by explaining, “If there are three production houses, I pick the role I want from the one that isn’t Humayun’s. At Humayun’s production house, they choose the role for me. Despite this, we never felt insecure or jealous professionally. There was never any bitterness in our relationship. We never thought like that.”  

    While talking about Meray Paas Tum Ho,
    Saeed said, “I create dramas for the people, with characters that reflect Pakistani society. Mere Paas Tum Ho showcased middle-class life and achieved unprecedented ratings in the Pakistani drama industry. MPTH had an unmatched impact and became extremely famous. Mehwish’s character wasn’t presented negatively; any lady in her circumstances has the right to move on. In my opinion, I would have acted similarly. Danish was not he right partner since, as a character, he did not satisfy his wife’s desires. I became sympathetic to Danish by the end.”  

    Humayun and Adnan have worked together in dramas like Ishq Junoon, Deewangi, Mehndi, and Mere Paas Tum Ho.  Currently, there are starring in Gentleman, which airs on Green Entertainment’s every Sunday at 8:00 p.m.

  • ‘Gentleman’ character inspired by Munna Bhai: Humayun Saeed

    ‘Gentleman’ character inspired by Munna Bhai: Humayun Saeed

    ‘Gentleman’ is the latest hit drama starring Humayun Saeed, marking his return to television after four years. In the show, he plays Iqbal Munna, a local from Korangi with an unexpected innocence. Fans can’t help but compare his character to the beloved Munna Bhai from the 2003 Bollywood film ‘Munna Bhai MBBS,’ portrayed by Sanjay Dutt.

    In a recent chat with his co-star Yumna Zaidi, Humayun revealed that his role was like Munna Bhai. He said Khalilur Rehman wrote it that way. Yumna added some mystery, saying, “Maybe,” suggesting surprises in the story.

    The actor also talked about the idea that Ahmad Ali Butt’s character, Dilbar, Munna’s faithful buddy, is like Circuit from Munna Bhai MBBS. He hinted, “Wait for the fifth episode; you’ll get the answer then. You gotta watch it.”

    Yumna assured fans that things would get clearer as the story goes on. She said, “I think it’ll make more sense after the next episode. And as the show goes on, I believe people will stop comparing and noticing these similarities. We’ve already moved past it ourselves.”

    Facing criticism for its portrayal of “gundagardi” in Korangi, Humayun defended the show, saying, “There aren’t real gangsters like we’ve shown in Korangi. It’s all make-believe. We tried to make it as real as possible in this fantasy world. We even thought about setting it in a made-up place, not Korangi. But we went with Korangi, and even then, it’s harmless.”
