Zanjeerain: the Shehzad Kashmiri cut and the Shehzad/Saife cut

I’ve been watching some scenes from last few episodes of Zanjeerain lately and was thinking about the reshoots and new scenes they put.

For sure, some of the scenes were fan-service and some damage control to fix the backlash. But because of that, some flow was lost, and we lost some crucial scenes that gave us Sarbiya's perspective, especially Rabiya. They could have easily cut side characters' scenes instead, oh well.

The scene in the last episode when they meet at the dhaba? So poignant, it hits so deep. And look, I love Saife bhai to bits, and that confession scene was gorgeous, but I am still wondering about the original ending. They did not put that besan on her forehead for nothing.

idk, sometimes I just wish they had left the original cut alone. I guess it's all moot now.

In the pic, the left one is SK's and right one is Saife bhai's.

Sajal's story supporting Parishae (and about seeing women as more that their looks or clothes)

idk how many of you are caught up with the whole Parishae Adnan situation, but she's a designer and just closed the Flying Solo showcase at New York Fashion Week, a huge international flex.

So anyway, she goes on Nadia Khan and Zohaib Hassan's show and instead of giving her flowers, they started bodyshaming her over her gym videos and deadass asked how her father allowed her to wear that.

The awaam is not having it. It’s not just the showbiz celebs like Hania and Yashal but the general awaam that is repulsed with the judgy behavior and the hosts are getting absolutely dragged 💅

Oh and Sajal posted it with Hasan Raheem's new Coke Studio song (which I'm lukewarm about 😒 cause it's no Peechay Hutt)

pretty in pink (and red)

Think these are the final drops from KM.

This campaign was beautifully executed and the clothes are gorgeous. Quite liked this one.

the popularity of sarbiya

was checking insta tags, and the number of posts with the sarbiya tag has far surpassed those for a few other very popular ships from previous years and all this within three months. despite its massive issues, the drama has brought so much recognition to everyone in the cast. so happy for them. anyway, posting my favorite sarbiya picture from one of my favorite episodes. so novel-coded.

Meenu and Roshan - my favorite chaotic buaa-bhatija duo

I love so much about ZPKB, all the relationships and one of my favorites has to be Meenu and Roshan.

From the first where he trolls about failing and then proudly announces that she topped the district.

Buaa ne toh zilla top kiya hai

When Roshan goes to drop her off to college, he tells Meenu about Muqaddas. She's the only one he trusts with his deepest feelings.

Tere aur mere beech main sirf etemaad ka rishta hai, paagal aadmi

He secretly goes to pick her up from college after his father and uncles berate him.

Tells him to that he must step up and help himself if he loves Muqaddas. Always telling each other secrets and asking for advice.

Agar tu Muqaddas se sach-much mohabbat karta hai na toh apni madad aap kar. Bahane bhi nahi bana uske saamne

Roshan secretly takes out the bike in the morning to drop Meenu and gets beaten up for his troubles. Defies his father and uncles to take a stand for Meenu

Bolegi toh tujhse teri parhai churrwa denge. Mere saath saath tere parr katana chahte hain yeh

How much Meenu misses him when he leaves. She and Muqaddas share each other's pain. How is every character and scene in this show so beautiful.

When he comes back, he's bought her a watch from the money he earned playing dholki

And a little extra because this is also the scene where our hero makes an entry.

Kab se dekh raha hoon, maare jaa rahi ho use, maare jaa rahi hou. Pehle baat toh sun lo apne mehboob ki

Of course, Noufil gets a fiery intro to Meenu. They both look so annoyed.

Bhatija hai mera. Sagaa. Yahaan par koi heer ranjha ki film nahi chal rahi jisse aap taang par taang rakh ke dekh rahe hain. Kaun hain aap

Rest of their legendary stuff in another post.

At what point in the approach phase do you switch from autopilot to manual controls?

I hear the autopilot disconnect tone seconds before touchdown. Makes me curious about what determines the switch from autopilot to manual controls? What are the variables that can make a pilot take control earlier?

Saife Hassan all praises for Sajal

Saife bhai all praises for Sajla in a recent interview . Main rou doungi. Khafa nahin hein.

I hope he takes her for his project with Mustafa Afridi because they are the two people who know how to portray women well. Mujhe ek aur Meenu jaisi chahiye.

Sajal, behen, pick up the call this time 😭😭

Sad and happy. And take your flowers, Sajal and Danyal

First of all, what an episode. Sajal was an absolute powerhouse. The way she showed her raw pain and rage? Pure cinema! A master of emotional range. And Danyal complemented her so well in the breakdown. He was brilliant in that consolation scene, especially when the realization that he loves his Zarmala hit him.

The editors, as usual, were up to their tricks, but Sarbiya, as always, completely lit up the episode.

This episode might hit 10 million within 24 hours. It's at 9.7 million right now.

Now that the show is wrapping up, I am sad because letting go of Rabiya and Sarbuland is going to be so hard. But also kind of happy because they have been taking too much space in my mind for way too long, and it'll be good to go back to being a detached media viewer.

rabiya looked so pretty in this scene

a short rabiya edit on taylor swift's seven because i found these lines apt:

please picture me
in the weeds
before i learned civility
i used to scream ferociously
any time i wanted
