Movie Review: Load Wedding

Review I watched this movie in April, only to kill time and  had no intentions of writing a post about it. But then, I had a nagging feeling that I am forgetting something. The movie was released on Eid-ul-Adha 2018. It is a romantic social comedy, something the director-writer duo  Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza have…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w23

Being back at work sucks, literally! I had hoped, much like I do every time I take a vacation, that the break will rejuvenate me and make me like my job more. It DIDN’T. Let me rephrase that. I don’t hate my job. I am just perpetually tired, and the to-and-fro work feels more exhausting…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w22

This week was a much awaited vacation at home for Eid celebrations. The three days of Ramadan were a blur. All I remember is now terribly hot it was (46 degrees Celsius, folks). True to my expectations, the moon was sighted on 29th of Ramadan. I stayed awake all night, not much by choice because…

Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2

Review I have heard people say that sequel ruins the original. It really did in this case. The sequel in my opinion was made just for the heck of it, just to cash the success of immensely popular season 1.  The storyline did not have substantial scope to continue. The season begins exactly from where…

Eid Ul Fitr 2019: Let the celebrations begin

Eid Mubarak one and all! May Allah bless us all with many more Ramadans and Eids. It started on Tuesday evening with a a debate between me and my siblings. I was sure that the moon will be sighted and Eid will be celebrated on 5th. Everybody opposed it. Two hours later, I was laughing…

Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 29

Review The episode opens with a hospital scene. Later, Maina asks Meetho to forget her and she cannot go against Daarji’s will. Arsal and Jia have a heart to heart conversation without getting loud, which was a surprise. Best moment was when Agha Ji brought up a valid point – if Dariya Khan and Jalal…

Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 28

Review Today’s episode was fun, after a long time. Daarji and Moray, Maina’s grandfather and mother respectively, visit Karachi. Daarji is quite an item. He flirts openly with Bi Jaan, making Agha Ji uncomfortable and jealous. At one point, Bi Jaan announces that Agha Ji is her kids’ elder uncle. The subtle rivalry between Agha Ji…

Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 27

Review Yes, the tables have indeed turned. The family was worried about Arsal and now against Jia. But neither have learned a lesson from it. Arsal continues to overact to garner more attention.  Jia continues to act just as childishly. I’m getting sick of these two now.  The other track of Maina, Meetho and their…

Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 26

Review Argh… The episode is fast and furious. Huma tells Jia about her admission in University, Jia gets admission as well, they classes begin and Arsal goes to pick her up. Jia creates a scene and Arsal gets arrested. Fast, yes? And ugly, too. What Jia has done is unfair. Strangely, everybody seems to be…

Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 25

Review Argh… The episode begins and ends with the tiff between Jia and Arsal. Suddenly, Arsal is depicted as the man who doesn’t know how to behave with women, especially his wife. That maybe partly true, but Jia is no saint, either. The elders fail to see it. Agha Ji gives them both a month’s…
