I finished it! YAAAAAY!!!! Strange sense of accomplishment, finishing a TV serial. Anyway, I did it! And now all of you can watch at your on pace and comment as you go along, and eventually join me here at the finish line.
Continue readingI am resisting watching the final episode, so I can do one last review for that/the whole season combined. But these are all the almost-finale episodes that get us right up to the happy ending, without quit going all the way. (Heer reviews index here)
Continue readingWell, this show does not want me to get married! We’ve got three married couples now, and they are all miserable. I assume they will be happy some way or the other by the end of things, but right now they are miserable. (full index of Heer reviews here)
Continue readingOooo, fun stuff! Also dumb stuff, as in the characters are acting dumb. But also fun stuff. Oh, and we get to see our heroine without her braid and she does actually seem a little more subdued. I’m telling you, it’s the source of her power!
Continue readingOooo boy! PLOT! I forgot the Pakistani TV serial rhythm of slow-fast-slow-fast. We were slow during the romance section (pleasant, but slow), and now we are all fast-fast-fast.
Continue readingOh my, things are happening again! Thank goodness, I was getting awfully bored with just “let’s learn about this new household”. Time for some movement! (Heer reviews index here)
Continue readingI did the first two episodes one at a time, but now I am just plowing through. So much happens, and yet also nothing. And somehow now that we have left the village, it all feels a little less important. Anyway, rich people got PROBLEMS! That’s the theme of these episodes. (Heer reviews index here)
Continue readingThis show moves so fast! I’m not used to this from my South Asian serials. It’s only episode 2 and we are already completely changing settings? (full index of Heer reviews here)
Continue readingThis is such a great show! It’s like Humsafar or Zindagi Gulzar Hai, only stuff happens quickly and people wear bright colors. So, not at all like them. (full index of reviews here)
Continue readingI loved loved loved Mentalhood, but not many of you watched it largely because of the ALTBalaji subscription. And I continue to love Little Things, but not many of you are watching that, maybe just because it is too lowkey and bland instead of Drama and Romance. So here, Drama and Romance on an easily accessible service! Watch Heer with me on Prime!
Continue readingI am, like, BARELY qualified to write this. I read a couple articles, I did a grad school seminar that discussed Pakistan history, and I’ve seen maybe a half dozen Pakistani films. So really, not a lot of knowledge! Any less and I would refuse to write this at all. I encourage you to go out and learn from others, and to comment and teach me more if you know more, this is just a starting point.
Continue readingThank you Filmikudhi for suggesting this idea! And the films Bachaana and Cake. I haven’t watched either of them yet, but they look great!
Continue readingIf you’ve already seen the movie, jump over to the SPOILER review to discuss it. This is the review to entice new viewers to watch it because it is on Netflix and it is AMAZING.
Don’t read the SPOILER review! Not if you haven’t watched the movie on Netflix yet. It’s SO GOOD. You should go over there and watch it. And in about half an hour I am reposting the No Spoiler review for you to read and convince you to watch it even more. But for those of you who have already seen it, here is the review all fun and convenient for us to comment on. Also, THANK YOU NETFLIX!!!! Teefa in Trouble is the best Christmas gift of all.
Interesting week! Nothing is happening as expected, the world is crazy and upside down, numbers are fun! (as always, numbers from bollywoodhungama)
What a ridiculous over the top super fun movie! It’s not clever, not like Teefa was. But it’s the same kind of “oh why not?” attitude towards plot and songs and everything else. Makes me excited to see what Pakistani films come up with next.
Don’t read the SPOILER review! Not if you have a chance of seeing the movie. There are a lot of delightful twists that are all the more fun for being surprises. Instead, read the no spoiler review here. Oh, and if you want to talk about Ali Zafar as a person, you can do that on my special post on him here.
First, if you want to talk about Ali’s personal issues, jump over to this post. I put it up specially so I could segregate Ali-the-person discussion from Ali-the-actor/director/producer. Separate from that, read this review and not the SPOILER review if you can’t see the movie! It’s a great film with a lot of surprising twists and deserves to be watched with fresh eyes.
