If you feel like there’s too much happening in Pakistani drama heaven, you’re spot on. If you feel you can’t quite understand the conspiracy theories in DuniyaPur, loving the backstories in Faraar or simply taking it all in Qarz e Jaan, if Meem Se Mohabbat is your go-to comfort watch, then this is the place for you – right here, right now, we unpack the week in dramas to give you a bite-sized version of want went down over the week.
DuniyaPur Is A Conspiracy Fest And We’re Just Living In It!
One Shahmir and two brides; but both have a plan. The question is, does Shahmir have a plan too? Did he ‘get it’ when Ana didn’t react to news of the second wedding?
Has Ana discovered Zameer’s lie? And what is Mir Hassan up to? Does Nauroz Adam know of his undercover activities? Yes, too many questions on our mind and not enough answers.
DuniyaPur is exploiting the limitless love for conspiracy theories Pakistanis love to spin anyway, right?
Qarz e Jaan Says It Like It Is, Yet Again!
For the love of effortless dialogue, talented performances and relatable conversations. Qudsia take a bow on your stance on Ammar’s marriage proposal. Emotional maturity before marriage is a thing and boys can’t be ‘fixed’ after marriage.
Sidra drops marriage truths on her sister and while one feels for her, she is not a black and white character herself, which makes her torment more relatable.
But hold on, Nashwa is in love with Burhan and in denial too. However, there is trouble afoot with Ammar as a prospective rishta. Oh dear, lots happening in Qarz e Jaan – the messages and story are both on point.
Yo Faraar! What a G.O.A.T.E.D. Episode!
It came, it saw, it conquered. From Bali, Batish and Fasih’s backstory to Mohsin Baig’s Sadia connection, Faraar is not coming slow.
Flashbacks are worked into present-day storytelling with precision and even as the story throws us new characters and reveals, the old ones are unpacking their life journeys with the same thrill.
One question: Dear Babrik, are you a cameo in the Faraar story, or have you just gone Faraar (as in MIA) from the drama already?
FUCHSIA Readers Rate 3 Faiza Iftikhar x Haissam Hussain Dramas To Watch!
Meem Se Mohabbat: Note To Talha, Know This – Sabeeka vs Roshi Is A THING
Roshi – Talha’s dad partnership is one to root for. Dananeer is hitting the highs and even as Talha questions her interference, “Frankly my dear, we couldn’t give a damn.” ‘Coz we’re on the same page as her!
Roshi sets her heart on proving herself to Talha – love makes us a better person and if anything, it is her will to impress, do the right thing and win over his heart that is so endearing. Ahad Raza Mir balances Talha’s dark and sensitive side expertly, reminding us once more of his sheer talent to ace any character he takes on!
Meri Tanhai: We’d Rather Remain Tanha Than Be With Khizar!
Khizar is all of the red flags among us. He needs to be shaken and hard! If he’s in denial then that’s not acceptable, if he’s playing ‘just friends’ that’s not believable. Both Maleeha and Mary deserve better than a two-timing guy who is not disclosing his engagement to one and lying to the other about where he’s going out for dinner and with whom.
To top it all, he flipped on Maleeha when she called him on HER birthday and then, asked her if she hadn’t told anyone about his misbehaviour. NVM Khizar, can you even redeem yourself or is it too late? Don’t touch this one with a 10-fool pole.
Aye Ishq e Junoon: The Day of Reckoning is Not Too Far!
Maheen has discovered the truth but a tad too late. Poor girl, we feel nothing though. Thanks to her nuisance value earlier – when the love triangle just hits wrong! But Rahim’s dad is warming up to Aimen and Shehroze is back in action. This time, will he finally get caught in the act?
It is funny how Aimen’s fainting spells have vanished once she’s back in town, perhaps no shoulder to fall on, waiting for Rahim to recover fully. It’s all about the day of reckoning in AIJ now, and we hope it comes soon.
BTW, who’s the bigger culprit, Shehroze or his mom? Answer that will you, we are confused.
FUCHSIA Picks Top 5 Dramas Of The Week!
Tan Man Neel O Neel: Karma Is Working It And No One’s Safe In The Final Episode (Unless You’re Rabi & Sonu).
Mehnaaz and Farah owned the episode and all we can say is WOW! From watching two super talented actors in one frame, to celebrating their women-supporting-women roles, that too, scripted by a man, the drama wins thunderous applause for setting real life examples where none existed.
Moon finally gets his revenge and that too, in style. Kami and Ehsaan’s story is up next. We’re guessing we know where this one’s going. Go ahead Karma, do your thing!
Sitaron Se Agay: Navigating Women’s Sports & Male Coaches – Is It A Messy Business?
The story is taking a dip before it gets up again. Aima has a crush on Sir Tehmasab, the other players have teamed up against her, which is a disappointment yet perhaps, a tough reality in the world of sports.
But what really worked for the drama was the spotlight on male coaches training female players, vulnerable to being called out for harassment for not following proper compliance codes – but then, how do you keep a distance when you need to fix a player’s grip? Tell us if you’re watching Sitaron Se Agay and are you like Shiza’s mom, keeping an eagle eye on the coach, or, like Aima’s mom who trusts the process?
Btw, did you think Coach Tehmasab was favouring Aima by refusing to coach the other players?
And that’s the week in dramas. Tell us which one you’re unashamedly hooked to the most and which one you might just drop!
