The problem is apparent in actresses too but let's focus on actors today

I know there's no superstar culture in Pakistan per se. But still why is it that absolutely not a single current A list actor can be deemed worthy of the title. There's not a single actor who enters the screen and you go like han ye hero hai!!

Let's take a look at some of the highest paying Pakistani TV actors and what they offer

Danish Taimoor- naturally, we should be Starting with the king. His dramas often show him make a heroic entry. Slow mo shots, dhishoom dishoom and what not. Yet, when he enters, you feel like saying agaya phir larki uthane. You expect him to be a villain, not a hero

Bilal Abbas: he honestly could have been a strong contender but how can one take him seriously after his failed macho drunkard act in MZHT. His dancing scenes made him a walking meme tou aura canceled again

Wahaj: He was expected to lead the race after TB but then he did SMD and jitna aura bana tha, sab went down the train

Ahad: he has the looks but the moment he starts speaking in Urdu, aura goes into negatives. Also his acting in comedy sucks

Ahmed Ali Akbar: i expected great things from him post Parizad but man chose SWP post it so hero wala aura start hone se pehle hi ended

Hamza Ali Abbasi: he was initially not on the list since he seemed to have retired. But he is coming back in a drama opposite Hina Afridi tou ghanta aura

Ali Raza: man couldn't get beyond chati k baal.

There are some other A list actors too that I must have missed. I wanted to include Fawad but he has retired from Pakistan TV dramas since a decade.

At this point, Faran Tahir and Shahzad Nawaz have more aura than all the current A listers combined

So, Peer e Kamil is one those stories that Pakistani drama fans have asked to be adapted on TV the most

A couple of weeks back, someone suggested Danish should play Salaar and the novel fans lost their shit😂

Today, an Ahad fan suggested Ahad for the role. And Umera Ahmed made it a point to reply to this tweet and say k Peer e Kamil adaptation should never be made and of course that made the fans of the fandom lose their shit😂 one called Umera Ahmed rude and Batameez😂

Personally, I don't think anyone can do justice to that novel, be it from acting POV, directing POV or censor POV.

But I enjoyed the twitter drama on this a while back and today was pretty fun too😂

Who could have thought of this ending? Matlab completely unpredictable!! And best part is, the entire last episode was in a hospital. Not even a happy scene after the hospital😂

So everyone is crying and praying for Zawar. Zawar k papa arrives with his family. Paras k papa haath joros in front of him.

Cut to Zawar, being all critical and then voila, he opens his eyes because Paras ki mohabbat is very powerful

Cut to the hote hote reh gaya husband confronting hote hote reh gayi wife who accepts her crime and attributes it to losing her fiance. Hote hote reh gaya husband gives bhari bhari dialogues. The interaction is heard by zawar and Paras k papas

Then evil cousin ki mummy arrives to ask for forgiveness which obviously she does not get

Hote hote reh gaya husband low key hitting on hote hote reh gayi wife

Then Zawar and Paras in the hospital room proclaim their love and it ends

The journey was short but hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed the acting, direction and writing

So, the evil cousin holds Paras at gunpoint. Paras k papa tries to negotiate but evil cousin wants dher sara paisa

Meanwhile Zawar driving crazily to reach the location and dhoom tana he does!! He shields Paras and fights the evil cousin.

Just as it seems all is hunky dory, Evil cousin shoots Zawar. Paras takes Zawar in her arms and bahaos mote mote aansoo.

They take Zawar to the hospital. Everyone is crying for him. Then Paras confesses her love for him and her hote hote reh gaya husband overhears it and realizes k woh do pyar karne walon k beech agaya tha. Oh and somewhere along the episode, the hote h0te reh gayi wife is crying because uska pehla pyar adhura reh gaya

So will Zawar live? Or will he die making their angst wala pyar amar? Will Paras ka pyar be able to rescue him? Only time can tell!

Now, everyone is pretty biased when it comes to their favs. Even if they do a sucky drama, fans will defend them, not that there's something wrong with it. After all, that's what fans do

But if you truthfully think about it, what's the one drama you would want to erase from your favorite's filmography and what's that one drama you wish they did

Similarly, what's the one drama you watched of an actor you hated because of whatever reasons and wished you could replace the said actor

My choices are pretty simple😂 I would erase Manto from Sajal's and Sanam's filmography. And I would erase Bin Roye from Mahira's because I absolutely hate the story

I wish Sanam did something like case no.9. I think she would've been phenomenal although Saba was excellent too. For Sajal, I would liked to see her in Tan Man Neelo Neel although once again Sehar was simply perfect. Mahira I am not too sure but maybe in something in which she could be a boss babe

there are many more actors I like but I think if I start mentioning them, this would become a warzone so I am leaving them out😂 I am not in the mood to fight today 🫣

I was just wrapping my head around Humraahi and I came across a twitter thread that gave me an even more incredible plot. And now my mind is legit blown🤯

So two sisters are in love with two brothers. Elder sister and bro get married while the younger sister and bro are engaged as their wedding had to be postponed because the guy had to go abroad for his job. All well and good until here

The elder bro named his entire property to his about to be born kid and that obviously irked his parents and sister. Yahan tak bhi all good

But now the older bro is dead. As per the twitter thread, the greedy parents will make the younger bro marry his older bro's wife who also happens to be his fiance's sister to keep the property within the family

Marrying your brother's widow is actually okay. But when you are engaged? More importantly when you are engaged to her sister? That's a plot twist 😂

So I watched today's episode because I needed some laughs and King did not disappoint

So apparently king ka father has been killed and twin sister is there to support the king. Now both are giving each other googly eyes with Humraahi running in background. Both are smiling, thinking about each other

Meanwhile King has been looking for the bro sis duo jinke lie he killed a guy. They are in captivity waiting for their rescue

King suspects his murderer baba ka khaas aadmi for being a traitor and of course King is right. So king realizes that the traitor is the reason his murderer baba died.

So, in classic king style, king murders the traitor which is seen by the twin sister who is left shell shocked

Now, twin sister has to decide what saza to give her mehboob

I totally get the twin sister and King falling for each other. But was it really necessary for her to have the same face as the dead wife?😂 the only use of twin factor was that pretend wife thing😂

Ye kis filmy writer ne likha hai? 😂 matlab sare filmy tropes in a single drama😂

So basically, Paras k papa is worried about her safety. He fixes her rishta with phupo ka beta but phupa is a villain who shakes hand with the daarhi mooch wala villain. So, papa fakes his daughter's death and sends her off to live with Zawar😂

Now there's yearning, angst and thandi aahein. And of course, there's Zawar ki mangetar who is gonna end up with no Zawar because he is in loooooove with Paras😂

Just when I thought Muhafiz has crossed all my expectations of filmypan, it surprised and impressed me all over again

We had a spoiled girl, a courageous guy, and action. Then we got evil relatives. We then proceeded to ankhon ankhon mein angst.

And finally we landed on kidnapping and a heroic rescue!! There's a darhi mooch wala villain jiska dil spoilt girl pe agaya. He kidnaps her and proceeds to plan his nikah

But right before the Qubool hai, the hero makes a dashing entry and saves the girl from the clutches of the darhi mooch guy. And larki k dil mein kuch kuch hua

I am seated for what's the next filmy twist in this ultra filmy drama. I am hooked!!!!

I actually had thought it would be dome time before the family realizes what they had done. But I am thoroughly impressed at how things turned out

They couldn't even get through the morning without falling apart. And from the precap, it appears Tabish is already regretting. And there will be no second wedding too

I am intrigued how the story will progress and how Beena will end up in Jail.

I caught up with the episodes. Not only Tabish, his entire family is rotten

Bina is smart and definitely not a doormat. But I wonder if she was planning to off herself

But next episode mein she finally runs away before his nikaah. I am so extremely happy. This is exactly the kind of treatment the entire family deserves

I stopped watching the drama because I could feel the character of Salman being let go easily. But I saw the last episode in the hopes that PTV would surprise me but alas

Durre Shehwar came in 2012 and the message was that if you continue to tolerate abuse and show sabar, your husband will eventually see your worth and change for the better.

And now more than a decade later, this show carried the exact same message. Sania took the abuse in every form except physical. She nearly died. And that's what lead Salman to see her worth. And all it took was an apology for all to be forgiven. There wasn't even a proper redemption arc

And of course, cheating was all hunky and dorie. When this show was announced, I was genuinely excited for it. But boy did it disappoint me in so many ways!!

So I settled on Muhafiz for my teatime watch and I was not disappointed. Kia filmy drama hai.

The slow mo walks, the spoiled, lonely daughter, the fearless cop, the entry of both the leads. Everything screams filmypan. I am thoroughly impressed😂

This is just what I needed for casual watching

A GEO drama ending in 30 episodes is quite a surprise! Especially one that's bringing TRP and views

I haven't seen it ever but I saw that tomorrow is the last episode. But I don't think I have seen a teaser for any new drama. Any idea what's replacing it? I am still on the lookout for something new to watch

It seems to be a low effort post😂 but if someone can tell me what's replacinf the drama before it's locked, I will be glad😂

Marg e wafa ended and now I have a gaping hole in my schedule while I have my tea. So I need recommendations

Are there currently any dramas on air that have a simple seedhi sadhi story, not glorifying problematic tropes and wouldn't make my blood boil?

I don't mind if the acting is not as good😂 bas the story should be simple

The last scene felt abrupt but boy am I glad they did not give Aazer any toxic trait. The guy remained a sweetheart until the very end.

Hasan and Afira live their life in regret. Afira tries to poison Aazer against Hiba but his trust remained unshaken until the end.

All in all, barring the episodes I missed, I quite enjoyed it. And I think I was the only one😂
