Ohkay so, after weeks & weeks, this turned out to be a reasonable episode of Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3. The conversations flowed nicely & made a lot of sense & there seemed to be some progress in every single track. I think they have taken their sweet time the way they wanted to, but now it’s necessary to move the story forward & make every single episode packed with a punch. Farhad’s silence & Mahi’s misery have been dragged to the point where it stopped keeping me engaged but now when they crossed paths, things stopped seeming stagnant, which was…

Pehli Si Mohabbat Episode 18 Story Review – Best One
Tonight’s episode of Pehli Si Mohabbat was one of the best we have seen so far. Faiza Iftikhar is perhaps the only writer whose dramas get more interesting and meaningful as the story moves forward. She takes her time establishing the characters and their stories instead of banking on the fast-paced first few episodes in order to grab the attention of the viewers. The way the supporting characters have played such an integral role in the story and have such a strong presence that they cannot be ignored is also highly appreciated. A character such as the one Nausheen Shah…
Shehnai Episode 15 Story Review – Meerab Got A Reality Check
Ohkay so, this episode of Shehnai once again highlighted the importance of family. It showed that despite the differences when the time comes, everyone sticks together & is reminded of how precious these relationships are. In both the families of Bakht & Meerab, everyone was trying their best to find the solution to the problems they were faced with & in the meantime, they also held Meerab accountable for the mistakes he committed. However, I liked the fact that Meerab was also left alone to figure things out because this was his journey to take & he had to have…
Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 Episode 16 Story Review – The Tragedy
Ohkay so, it was an emotional episode of Khuda Aur Mohabbat. I felt that way because Taimoor was probably my only favorite character from the drama & knowing that he won’t be a part of the remaining episodes kind of makes me sad. This episode had a lot of deja vu vibes because I felt Noora & Fakira have ran towards Shah Sahib & his wife in a similar manner before. The reactions were also the same but this time around, it was their own family member that passed away. The Tragic Death of Taimoor The wedding sequence was once…
Raqs-e-Bismil Episode 22 Story Review – Lackluster
This latest episode of Raqs-e-Bismil focused more on Moosa, Laila, and Sheheryar. Sheheryar’s track probably came to an end with this episode. Zohra got barely any screen time and it would be safe to say that ever since she disappeared, the drama is getting more fantasy-like than ever before. I am also getting tired of watching Moosa suffer, can we have his happy ending already? Some of the dialogues tonight were also disappointing such as the ones uttered by Moosa when he found out the truth. The fact that Zohra’s character is too plain makes everyone’s efforts to ‘rescue’ her…
Pehli Si Mohabbat Episode 17 Story Review – Complications
This latest episode shifted the direction of the story towards Zainab which was expected since Sikandar came into the picture. I have always felt that this drama is perhaps more about Zainab than it was ever about Rakhshi and Aslam. Therefore, the fact that her track has taken such a turn makes me look forward to where it is headed. Shehryar Munawar continues to be exceptionally impressive as Aslam since he makes sure that the viewers relate to his pain and helplessness. Rakhshi did not get a lot of screen time in this episode and for the past few weeks,…
Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 Episode 15 Story Review – Bucket Full of Tears
Ohkay so, it is unfortunate that despite the massive viewership Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 is getting, the drama makers & the channel thought it was appropriate to show a misleading preview last week which showed the mishap Mahi & Taimoor faced after their Rukhsati. I guess the team themselves knew this episode was going to be a filler, therefore they showed such a preview in order to keep the viewers engaged, making sure they tune to this episode to get disappointed. I don’t know about others but I sure did get disappointed because I was hoping for that major twist…
Raqs-e-Bismil Episode 21 Story Review – Suffering Continues
Tonight’s episode of Raqs-e-Bismil revolved most around Zohra’s disappearance. The writer has used this latest development as a means to take the story in a different direction. A lot of screen time was dedicated to Tauqeer and Faizee’s plotting and planning. Moosa’s state of mind was translated on screen superbly by Imran Ashraf, yet again. The fact that Moosa isn’t the least bit bothered about his parents and has conveniently forgotten them annoys me more with every passing week. Laila’s character continues to be interesting. I also feel that the ‘sonay ki chirya’ reference is being quite repetitive and it…
Shehnai Episode 14 Story Review – The Truth
Ohkay so, this episode of Shehnai was more on the serious side & wasn’t all fun & games. The writer deserves full credit for showing this journey in such a manner where all the characters have been humanized in such a way that you actually relate to them & feel what they are going through. So far, what I really like about Shehnai is how much coverage & insight has been given to the feelings & emotions of these characters which makes them very special in their own way. Usually, in a drama with so many characters, there tend to…
Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 Episode 14 Story Review – Misery Continues
Ohkay so, this episode of Khuda Aur Mohabbat practically had nothing to offer except the fact that it was an elaboration of the misery inflicted on all those who were mourning the loss of Farhad. At this point, I am not too sure of what to feel about the pacing of the drama because each passing episode turns out to be slower than the previous one. The preview of the next episode did excite me because Mahi’s life is about to change but then it makes me wonder how long her misery will be prolonged & stretched? As much as…
