Although it has
hints of Indian movies in it but it's still a good drama. Produced by
Islamabad center. It looks at a mother's struggle to find her children. At
the end it renews the viewer's faith in God. Fairly nice acting by the
leading lady |

The story
is interlinked around two families. It is shot in Scotland, Ireland and
Pakistan and is the first Pakistani serial to be filmed entirely on a
digital camera. The title song by Ali Azmat is pretty amazing too.

The character
that comes across as a fairly strong and realistic one is that of Qutub
sahab. He does a fine job in his small role. The play was a bit confusing to
me because I couldn't figure out why a guy would marry someone because he
likes her and then treat her like Aafaq does Faree. Nobody leaves their wife
on the night of the wedding to go drop off their mother! - quite a
ridiculous scenario. Aafaq has this huge ego which he can't get rid off and
Faree is raised in a rich and sheltered enviornment and has no manners
whatsoever. |

A lot of new
people who are real life military personnel. Produced by the ever famous
Shoaib Mansoor (Ankahi, Fifty fifty). This has been a much awaited play.
It's a sequel to Suharay Din which he did a few years ago (also on military
life).
The play caught the audience and media's attention before it even got
started because it is filmed on location in many places. The play
realistically portrays military life, both the emotional and physical
aspects of it. The cinematography is awesome! The actors are great! The
whole play is very well directed, acted, and produced. Much awaited to be
released on video..it's finally available! Go out and rent it because it's
not one to be missed especially if you need a few good laughs |

It is a play on the Kasmiri
situation. It is a very good play with many harsh truths and for that reason
it's very depressing with all the helpless situations for Kashmiri muslims.
But it ends with good hopes for the future of Kashmir |

Ae Dil Kisi ki Yaad Mein |
The story revolves around a
famous architect Ali (Noman Aijaz) who falls madly in love with Zara (Salma
Hasan). They get married and start leading a very happy life. Soon they have
a son Hani (Abbas) and life is perfect till one day Zara dies in an
accident. Ali is heartbroken and gets lost in himself, ignoring his son at
times. His uncle (Qazi Wajid) and auntie (Zaheen Tahira) ask him to
re-marry. Both of them and his son are interested in Hani's tuition teacher
Nadia, but Ali after much thought decides to get engaged to Farishtay, who
is a busy socialite and pretty unsuitable for Hani. What happens next as
Hani decides to take things in his own hands remains to be seen. The first
half of the serial is all mushy romance while the later part of the serial
has a great resemblance to "Sleepless in Seattle |
