  • Hum Dono: Will Wafa and Asad’s love story defy the odds?

    Hum Dono: Will Wafa and Asad’s love story defy the odds?

    Wafa and Asad are deeply in love. Wafa, full of life and ready to marry her hero Asad, is adventurous and carefree. Asad, in contrast, is practical and thoughtful, always considering the consequences of Wafa’s wild ideas. Their main obstacle is Wafa’s wealthy family. Her father, Ejaz Durrani (played by Nauman Ejaz), has chosen Shehroz (Zaviyar Naumaan) as a potential husband for her.

    Adding to the drama, Wafa’s cousin Sumbul (Rabya Kulsoom) also has feelings for Shehroz, but his feelings for her remain unclear. The standout character in this episode is Samar Abbas. His humor and charm make the show enjoyable, and we look forward to seeing more of him in future episodes.

    The drama starts with beautiful rooftop scenes where Wafa and Asad meet. Director Aabis Raza enhances the visuals with creative details, like shots of the hero and heroine climbing a ladder to the rooftop. Azaan Sami Khan’s pairing with Kinza Hashmi is fresh and promising. Both actors have a strong presence on screen. Zaviyaar Naumaan Ejaz joins the cast, adding to the potential love triangle. Rabya Kulsoom, as Sumbul, watches from the sidelines. Naumaan Ijaz plays Wafa’s calculating father, hinting at interesting family dynamics.

    Wafa’s carefree attitude sometimes seems unrealistic, especially when she talks about eloping so casually. This might be to highlight the contrast with Asad, who is practical and deeply in love. While we hoped for a story beyond the typical love triangle, writer Bee Gul always adds depth to her characters, so there’s hope for more complexity.

    The first episode showed a lot of romance between Wafa and Asad. It would have been better with more backstory to make their relationship more relatable. But it’s just the beginning, and there’s plenty of time for the story to develop.

    Let’s see what happens in the next episodes of ‘Hum Dono’

  • Mastaani: Affan Waheed’s perfect mix of love and laughter

    Mastaani: Affan Waheed’s perfect mix of love and laughter

    Pakistani cinema is always trying to bring something new and different to the screen. This year, films like ‘Na Baligh Afraad,’ ‘Abhi,’ and ‘Umro Ayyar’ offered unique stories. But let’s face it, we all love a good rom-com, and Mastaani is here to give us just that!

    ‘Mastaani’ centers around Aaliya and Shakil, and it’s Affan Waheed’s big-screen debut!

    Aaliya, played by Amna Ilyas, is a brave and spirited young woman who wants to make a difference in society. However, she faces many challenges and tough situations along the way. Her journey is the heart of the movie. On the other hand, Shakil, played by Affan Waheed, is a simple, kind-hearted man whose life changes when he falls in love with Aaliya. Their contrasting personalities create an interesting dynamic that drives the story forward. The film blends romance, fun moments, and a touching mystery, promising a rollercoaster of emotions.

    The trailer starts with a classic enemies-to-lovers storyline. Aaliya is fierce and strong-willed, while Shakil doesn’t make a great first impression. Aaliya isn’t going to fall for him easily.

    At first, the plot seems like a typical romance with lots of sweet moments. But there’s a hint of mystery as Aadi Adeal Amjad and Hira Khan’s characters are investigating something. The trailer doesn’t reveal much, keeping you guessing about what’s really going on.
    Could the film be highlighting a hidden issue in society? The mystery element adds depth, making it more than just a simple romance.
    Hira Khan and Aadi Adeal Amjad also join the cast, adding extra excitement. With Aadi Adeel Amjad, we can expect lots of fun moments. Plus, veteran actors Perveen Akbar and Shahnawaz Zaidi add to the anticipation for the film.

    The film is written and directed by Usman Rizvi and produced by Daniya Nizami.

    Veteran actress Fareeha Jabeen has opened up about her private life.

    During a recent interview with ‘Subh Ka Samaa Madeha Kay Sath,’ she talked about her decision to remain single after her first divorce, because her daughter, Amar Khan, has always been sensitive about the topic. “I never considered remarrying because of how sensitive Amar has been about the subject.”

  • The audition that changed everything: Resham’s rise to stardom

    The audition that changed everything: Resham’s rise to stardom

    Resham is a highly talented actress who has ruled the film industry with her charm personality. However, not many are awate of the difficulties she had in her early career.
     
    Recently, Resham appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat,’ where she talked about how she had to face off against Maria Wasti to earn her first main part on PTV.
    “I still remember the day I auditioned for my first lead role on PTV. I used to accompany my brother to auditions and had played supporting characters before, but this was my chance to shine. When I arrived at the studios, I saw some big names auditioning for the same role. I saw Maria Wasti there, and she was speaking in perfect English with everyone. At that time, my own Urdu wasn’t as polished, and this made me think I had little chance of getting the role.” Resham narrated.
     

    This role was a turning point in Resham’s career, as she was introduced with her new name (her original name Saima was dropped to avoid confusing her with Saima Khan).
     
    Resham has worked in films like Jeeva, Ghunghat, Pal Do, Sangam, The Legend of Maula Jatt, and Gunjal.

  • KRQ says kidnappers named two VERY famous actors

    KRQ says kidnappers named two VERY famous actors

    Controversial writer Khalilur Rehman Qamar has claimed that his kidnappers named actors Noman Ijaz and Saba Qamar during his abduction.

    In a podcast interview, Qamar recounted his kidnapping, explaining that he hesitated to file a report because the kidnappers had named Noman Ijaz and Saba Qamar.

    “I dislike Noman Ijaz, but he is an outstanding actor. Despite my differences with Saba Qamar, I admire her acting. These are not the kind of people who would do such a thing,” Qamar said, implying that the kidnappers were trying to confuse him.

    Qamar expressed surprise at the support he received from Indian fans during the ordeal, noting the contrast with the hostility and mockery he faced in Pakistan. “I didn’t know the kidnappers’ motives. I was just worried about my wife and daughters. When they tortured me, I told them to kill me if they wanted,” he added.

    He shared that his wife now wants to leave Pakistan due to the distress caused by the incident, but he remains deeply attached to his homeland and has no plans to emigrate.

    The kidnapping and robbery took place last week in Lahore. According to the police, a woman called Qamar on his phone and invited him to her house to discuss a drama project. When he arrived, armed men abducted him and carried out the robbery.

    The internet had little sympathy for the misogynistic writer, who is known for misbehaving with many women. He has also said that he is waging a war against feminists.
