Written by: Nadia Akhter Directed by: Syed Wajahat Hussain Produced by: 7th Sky Entertainment Channel: Geo Entertainment Mannat Murad is one of the few dramas on Geo that I watched till the end. I opted for binge-watching rather than tuning into it every single week. This approach is perhaps one of the reasons why my perspective is different from the prevalent discussions on social media. In this last episode, Mannat Murad’s turbulent marriage took a pleasant turn when everything shifted for the better, with Murad finally advocating for Mannat, ultimately bringing about a positive resolution to their challenges. The second…

Jaan-e-Jahan Episode 6 Review
Yesterday’s episode of Jaan-e-Jahan left me uncertain about continuing with the drama, given the high expectations I had. However, I am glad I decided to tune in for the latest installment. Ayeza Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi’s on-screen chemistry proved to be the highlight of this episode, injecting a much-needed breath of fresh air into the storyline. Additionally, Mahnoor’s positive energy played a pivotal role in infusing life into Shehram’s otherwise stagnant world. This also gave Hamza Ali Abbasi the opportunity to smile! He does not have enough to work with at the moment because in the previous 3 episodes,…
Jaan-e-Jahan Episode 5 Review
Jaan-e-Jahan has unfortunately witnessed a decline with each passing episode. The initial two episodes set a high standard, the third was satisfactory, but the fourth left much to be desired. The latest episode, however, presented numerous issues, making it challenging to take the storyline seriously. Shehram’s beard underwent more transformations in this episode than his state of mind, and the factory scene was poorly executed. Does the lady in question have short-term memory loss? The dialogues throughout the episode lacked the necessary impact, and the execution fell short of achieving the intended emotional depth. The only redeeming factor in this…
Khushbo Mein Basay Khat Review – Is it Worth Watching
Writer: Amna Mufti Director: Mohammad Saqib Khan Producer: Momina Duraid Productions Schedule: Tuesday 8 pm on Hum I was initially drawn to Khushbo Mein Basay Khat due to the talented scriptwriter Amna Mufti. Known for crafting impactful stories with a touch of novelty, Amna Mufti’s work has always been impressive. As I watched each episode, I was pleasantly surprised by the engagement value of the drama. The top-notch execution of the storyline added an extra layer of excellence, proving to be a delightful bonus. So far, Khushbo Mein Basay Khat has not only lived up to my expectations set by…
Jaan-e-Jahan Episode 4 Review
The latest installment of Jaan-e-Jahan didn’t quite live up to my expectations, especially in the way Shehram’s narrative played out. I was hoping for a more impactful and captivating storyline. Shehram and Mahnoor’s meeting in the opening scene of this episode wrapped up with a condolence and a polite thank you in return. Following their meeting, Shehram and Mahnoor each embarked on their distinct paths. Shehram did not experience a positive shift after this chance meeting or even months after his father’s demise. The delayed scene covering Mahnoor’s thoughts about Shehram, occurring months later, seemed out of sync with the…
Jaan-e-Jahan Episode 3 Review
This third episode of Jaan-e-Jahan focused on the immediate aftermath of Murad Shah’s sudden demise, with a particular emphasis on Shehram and Kishwar. As the opening two episodes unfolded, a lingering question emerged regarding Kishwar’s character trajectory. However, after witnessing the events in this episode, any uncertainty dissipated, leaving no doubt that Kishwar is destined to evolve into an outright negative character in the upcoming weeks. The remainder of the episode followed a somewhat predictable path, placing a significant emphasis on Kishwar’s negative actions. The timeline in this episode was slightly confusing as well. While I anticipated Jaan-e-Jahan to explore…
Jaisay Aapki Marzi Last Episode Review
Writer : Naila Zehra Jafri Director: Saba Hamid Producer: Six Sigma Plus Production Channel: ARY Digital Jaisay Aapki Marzi had my undivided attention right from the beginning because of its fast pace and interesting plot. As the narrative unfolded, I found myself drawing parallels with the drama serial Khaas, which also had the same theme. Nevertheless, I must say that certain characterizations in Khaas exhibited a higher degree of authenticity and engagement, distinguishing it in terms of narrative depth and character development when compared to Jaisay Aapki Marzi. Weirdly enough, Mashal Khan played the same role in this drama which…
Jaan-e-Jahan Episode 2 Review
Just as in the first episode, this second installment of Jaan-e-Jahan maintained the same level of engagement, showcasing a well-written script and brilliant execution. Once again, this episode maintained a heightened emotional intensity concluding on a somber note that left viewers wondering whether Murad Shah’s demise was indeed a natural one. The departure of a character that exuded such positivity and wisdom so soon, was undeniably disheartening. However, the emotional impact experienced by the audience is a deliberate outcome in line with the creators’ intentional design for the storyline. Murad Shah’s absence will be profoundly felt, as his impact during…
Jaan-e-Jahan Episode 1 Review
Writer: Rida Bilal Director: Qasim Ali Mureed Schedule: Friday & Saturday at 8 pm on ARY Digital After a long time, the first episode of a drama prompted me to express my views immediately. After watching multiple recent opening episodes that were either overly dramatic or disappointingly lackluster, this particular first episode managed to excel by precisely striking the right chord. Its brilliance for the most part lies in capturing and conveying the essence of the narrative with precision. Indeed, this serves as a testament to the power of straightforward and well-executed writing. It highlights that sometimes, simplicity and clarity…
Ishq Murshid Review – Is it Worth the Hype
Writer: Abdul Khaliq Khan Director: Farooq Rind Schedule: Sunday 8 pm on Hum TV Let me start this review with an honest confession, I have started giving Pakistani dramas way more leverage than I did back when I started reviewing dramas and in the past few years. There are several reasons for this shift in perspective, firstly when you are not scrutinizing every single episode; you end up watching these dramas with a viewer’s perspective more than that of a critic only. There is the option of fast-forwarding as well when you are watching a drama on YouTube, which makes…
