MY VIEW : TERI MERI KAHANIYAN

  T eri meri Kahaniyaan..... a conceptual film with three different stories tied in one film. Considering the short focus span of viewers TMK was a novel idea to show different flavors on celluloid. The first story " Jinn Mahal" directed by Nabeel Qureshi is the longest in the film. The story gives a humorous take on Covid 19 days and how badly it affected the daily wage workers, who struggled to survive during lockdown . Director Nabeel in his massy style adds humor and sarcasm to the socio economic disparity in Karachi where many family's struggle to make ends meet. With Hira mani and her hubby in the lead roles playing a husband and wife on screen too with children, a sister in law and mom in law who are homeless during lockdown. They take shelter in a old house which is believed to be haunted. The story takes score on the builder mafia in Karachi and the nosy, not so posh neighborhood of this city. Not to give any spoilers, Hira is a natural when it comes to acting bu

TERE BIN

  The much talked about play #terebin which gained popularity among the drama watchers, especially women for showing glamorous chemistry between the leads. However, the plot only revolved around the main leads #murtasim #meerab and a third wheel the be-haya #haya . Set in a wadeera culture backdrop, the story starts off with a bizarre marraige between the two, despite their obvious dislike for each other. The plot revolved around the 'so-called chemistry' that was the consummation of marriage between the two . Since Meerab had Murtasim sign a contract (handwritten, torn a paper from a register, if it qualifies as a contract that is) to not consummate the marraige and the rich wadeera despite all the wealth sleeps on the couch day in and day out. To cut the long story short,eyebrow the play has an annoying sound track that plays after every spoken dialogue or every gesture of the eye brow. #Meerab played by Yumna Zaidi displays all possible toxicity (badtameezi)in the

SarERah

  A certain episode of a play called #SarERah is making news on social media for its empowerment content. The play where it does show empowerment of many groups of society is subliminally giving a message of normalization towards #transgenderism . The father telling his son that if he wants to one day dress like his mother with makeup and a dress that he will still love him. Wait stop and think WHY is a father doing that?. #Intersex people are individuals born with any of several sex characteristics including chromosome patterns, gonads, or genitals that, according to UN "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies". # transgender person is someone whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth. #meaning that medically he is of a certain gender but tomorrow he wakesup and want to be of another gender.... he will dress like a man or a woman. Chormosome pattern have nothing to do with it. *KNOW THE DIFFEREN

Raqeeb sey- Finale: closure or unfinished?

  Raqeeb sey - Finale: closure or unfinished?   Since I have been following the much-talked-about play Raqeeb sey   from the first episode it is imperative that I write something about its finale too. We all have overtly appreciated the play. Emphasizing how good content was needed in our television; where for the most part TV shows are aired for commercial outcomes mostly insulting the intelligence of the viewers Raqeeb sey was a breath of fresh air. We have repeatedly poured our love and appreciation for the entire team for making this classic, especially Bee Gul for her exceptional writing.   Nonetheless, Raqeeb sey was a poetic saga that finally came to an end. A story primarily about many women who struggle each day with their set of challenges that transitions into a story about human behavior that comprises of the good , the bad , and the ugly . Leaving viewers to question their judgment about the grey areas of human behavior. Also, the unfortunate incidents in life that shou
