  • Humayun Saeed shares thoughts on rival drama ‘Alif’

    Humayun Saeed shares thoughts on rival drama ‘Alif’

    Sajal Aly and Hamza Ali Abbasi’s much-awaited drama Alif finally hit TV screens last Saturday and its first episode was received phenomenally with millions of hits on Youtube.

    While Alif aires on Geo, at the same time, same day, (Saturday, 8 pm) another star-studded drama Meray Paas Tum Ho aires on ARY Digital. What is interesting to note is that the producers of both the dramas are the same. Humayun Saeed’s production house Six Sigma Productions is behind MPTH while, Humayun’s wife Samina and her partner Sana Shahnawaz are producing Alif.

    Naturally, this raises questions on what Humayun feels about the whole situation and Humayun, in an Instagram post, addressed the elephant in the room. From praising the actors to the director to the producers – Humayun said that he was “blown over after watching the first episode.”

    He added that after watching the episode, “it seems that our industry is headed in the right direction and I really hope it will go on to change the landscape of TV production in our country.”

  • ARY’s new blockbuster will have everyone hooked

    ARY’s new blockbuster will have everyone hooked

    Two episodes in, ARY’s latest offering Meray Pass Tum Ho is being discussed everywhere – from Whatsapp groups to Facebook groups. ARY knew they had a hit on their hands with Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan and Adnan Siddiqui in the main roles. And this isn’t your run of the mill saas/bahu drama.

    The story begins with a happily married Danish (Humayun Saeed) and Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) who live within a government officer’s means. They have a son who isn’t going to a good school because of lack of finances. Danish is smitten by his wife and is willing to do everything and anything to make her happy. Mehwish, on the other hand, is materialistic and wants expensive jewellery because her friend Anushay (Meher Bano) is loaded and she wants to be too. To make Mehwish happy, Danish gives up his morals and resorts to corruption, because as the man he must give her what she wants.

    So Danish turns to becoming a corrupt government official and getting lakh, two lakh rupee kickbacks to buy his wife jewellery so she can compete with her richer friend Anushay. In walks, Anushay’s husband’s boss Shahwaar (Adnan Siddiqui) who is a ladies man, has a wife who lives abroad, travels a lot with his secretaries and has a Prado.

    The Kabab mai haddi

    At the end of the second episode, we kind of know what’s coming. Mehwish, entranced by Shahwaar’s good lucks, dashing smile and above all, money, money, money is going to flutter towards him, and Danish, getting a feeler of Shahwaar’s interest in his wife asks her to stay away from such a “loose” character.

    The moment when they spot Shahwaar together

    The actors are great and the story is realistic. The script has been penned by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar while Nadeem Baig has directed this – both masters of their games. The lust for money taking over a genuinely loving marriage happens – to both men and women and it seems the drama might be taking that interesting route. Let’s see how it goes since the twist is bound to be epic.
