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 story and the nation's heartthrob #murtasim played by Wahaaj Ali desires for her attention and love, despite her toxic rage. The clichéd "maa begum" played by bushra ansari (waste of her talent) and her daughter maryam (naand of meerab) along with a plethora of other characters that were used in the story for various reasons.
The story takes its viewers through a bizarre situation of kidnapping , black magic, ex- reappearing from the past, to jealousy, fake pregnancy news and the eloping of the naand. However, the viewers held on to the play hoping Murtasim and Meerab would soon kiss and make up towards a 'happy ending' (in all its meanings🫢).
However, last nights episode🔞 insulted the patience & loyalty of the viewers. The writing and production team took an absolutely bizarre turn when they showed all limits of toxic femininity and masculinity on screen. The characters in the episode went beyond all limits of civility by slapping, spitting on each other's faces, and, most shockingly, suggesting marital rape.
Just when the play was about to wrap up into something, the team decided to take it to the dungeons. Which was both sad and questionable for the television screen.
#terebin team should apologize to the audience for #glamarizing #abuse in the name of romance. This kind of content reaches every household and all age groups are watching it. They are portraying abuse between partners as a lover's quarrel, setting a trend. No, no ⛔️.... abuse is abuse, it should not be mistaken for anything else. We should not glamorize toxicity, regardless of which partner it comes from. Lastly, we should uphold the sanctity of the institution of marriage in our plays. #terebinnewepisode #terebin what a waste of a screen play that had a lot of potential.

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...

An infidel woman: The scandalous “pink nighty” in ‘Meray paas tum ho’.

Two days back I woke up to see social media upset and demanding PEMRA to ban a play called “M erey paas tum ho ”. The lead actress was trolled for choosing the worst role of her life and much up-roar was made about a “ scandalous pink nighty ” in one of the episodes. Since I had not watched the play I rushed to YouTube to see what the hangaama was about. To my surprise the play had a typical storyline of a middle class government employee Danish (Humanyon Saeed)   with a pretty wife Mehwish (played by Aieza Khan) and a kid, struggling to make ends meet because he is naïve and honest. His wife on the other hand dreams of a better lifestyle with luxuries. A lovable family sets the picture perfect scene of the first episode, till the entry of a rich business man Shahwar played by none other than Adnan Siddiuqi. Shahwar spots Mehwish among common friends and finds her attractive and starts giving her compliments on her beauty, the over possessive husband finds the sitaut...

Finally a happy ending for Pyare Afzal

For the past few days the social media is buzzing with the wedding news of Hamza Ali Abbasi of fame Pyare Afzal. Hamza started his career with TV and after doing a few projects moved to the big screen, he is not only famous for the work he did on screen but his claim to fame is from his extremely vocal socio-political and religious views especially on social media, he is seldom politically correct and gets a lot of bashing for his opinions. This week he was again in the news for posts about his wedding announcement to Naimal Khawaar. His long post about “Platonic Relationships” has been the topic  of the grape wine. His definition of Halal relationship was a bit bizarre and was so not needed in the wedding announcement.   Many bashed him for being self righteous or holier than thou. Some called it a publicity stunt, which often the people in the media are accused off.     On August 25 th  2019, the social media was again highlighting his beau...
