Shauky was more upright than the guy who is considered to be the nicest guy in the mohalla. Parizad shows us the lenses through which our society judges people according to their appearances.
I disagree with you on parizaad. It is not about what should be but what actually is in the minds of people. I think they are showing how judgmental people are about dark skinned people, that is the main story, how else would they have shown people's bias towards dark skinned people, without making parizaad dark that wouldn't be possible.
DNUTN: A lot of things this masterpiece unfolded in front of us.... 1: They touched the topic of Human trafficking so sensibly that not a single dialogue or scene was un necessary , controversial or meant to sensationalize the original message...... 2: The drama was not rebel... They actually showed how the woman can fight while living within their limits... 3: they didn't glorify the running away of NZ... They showed it is not the solution to your problems... It can create more problems for girls to leave the family.... 4: Men and women both are compulsory for each other... There is no need to nullify the men while showing women powerful... One of the bestest sows I have ever watched on TV... Thanks to something haute for suggesting me...
Seeing shaukay all guilt-ridden and ready to take responsibility made me an emotional wreck. It's the greyness of humans that makes life more acceptable and livable than the absolute Whites and blacks.
Parizaad was heart wrenching to say the least. When Naheed said, 'Mein aur aapka' and the way parizaad looked up made me cry. What a brilliant writing i must say Even though i hate Raqs e bismil and KAM 3. The parallels that were drawn between Majid and Shoki were truly splendid. Shoki whom people think to be an Awaara isn't a bad guy after all and The Namaazi Majid is just a selfish guy. I hated Majid and Naheed. I hope they never be happy after building their life on by insulting someone and bringing bad name to him. I truly felt for Parizaad and i totally felt the insult. It's a sad story and true reflection of our society. Burkhay aur Namaazon k peechy aapko jhoot aur khud garzi mily gi aur chai k khokhey par bethny waly larkay aapko awaara aur badmash lagen gy. Unki muhabbat b aapko begairti aur thark lgti ha.... PS: No Hassan they needed to show his black skin because the benchmark for beauty in our society is the colour of your skin. That's what the basic drive in this story. If you don't show his black skin then he is just a guy who happens to be a 'Seedha saadha' larka and then you won't feel that disgust which Naheed has. She can't even think about him on those lines because of the colour of his skin. It's the essential part of the story and it wouldn't have been much sense if they didn't present him as a black skin guy
Shehzad sheikh might have look better in parizad role according to skin colour and it's a shame that how we embarrass someone just on skin colour which is never someones fault
Bro not all namazi and burkha ppl are dhokebaz not all fingers are same if u are too modern to think that u can keep that views for yourself. Apni kaum k bandho par aisa bol rhay ho Allah k Sahi raaastay pr chal rhay h. No surprise u hated raqse bismil becoz it showed how a true Muslim is. U won't like all this u Will like Shows that promotes chichorapan And behayi
@@zahirshaikh8153 I am talking specifically about this show. I hated raqs e bismil because of the drag and the path it took. Mein befkouff ni jo har Namaazi aur burkay walon k baary mein aesa kahoon.... Jo baat sach ha wo sach ha... Wesy to ye Islami jamhooriya Pakistan ha lekin aap ko yahan khalis doodh ni mily ga, khalis shehad ni mily ga, Saibb ki rerhiyon par red lights lagi milen gi, rishwat k bagair aapka jaiz kaam b ni hoga....
I know someone like shoki whom people call Awaara & badmaash but he is a good human being. On the other hand I also know someone who is Namaazi Parhezgaar in front of Duniya but his inner is full of filth & dirt. People aren't like we take their perception. I always say to others "Jinko zamana bura kehta ha hum unsy khud e mohtat rehty hein par jinko duniya achai ka title dey chuki hoti ha asal mohtaat unsy rehna chaiye".
Tbh I think this complexion think was a bit over exaggerated My father is way darker than my mother and he is not super rich or so so highly qualified But this never became a problem in our house Same with my colleague she is so fair skinned but she falled for a guy who is more tan than parizaad One of my dark skinned colleague's fiancee has fair skin All of them our doing in thier life Parizaad bohot koi zyada hi khud tarsi ka shikar dikhaya hai Even when I read novel I was like bhai bus kardeyn loug ek hath ek taang se guzara kartay hai yeh har nakami ka sehra rang ko deta hsi
his walk, his mannerisms are so on point. that guy just nailed the portrayal of an introvert. i mean he should be given due credit. people should talk about it as its very rare nowadays to see an actor to get into a character like that. it takes real effort.
You didn't point out the point everyone is pointing at. She should not use her social media power to harass the shop keeper I am talking about Lapata . You should talk about that .
DNTUN: it was truly a master piece. I am sad that it is over. I am watching its starting episode nowadays. The way Naeem sherwaani was talking about naseem in front of her father, I have seen similar comments for Noor Muqaddam. This drama was closest to reality.
Laapata had a good start but we cannot ignore how casually they slipped in the fact that ayeza threatens the poor shopkeeper who was asking the rightful money she owes him and then she threatens him that if he doesn't let go off the money she will falsely accuse him of harrassment..... SUPERRRR PROBLEMATIC AND I COULDN'T CONTINUE AFTER THAT!!
I felt the same way about this scene. Just because it was Ayeza the main lead and the background music was funny or sort of naughty, doesn’t make the whole scenario OK. Maybe it will make sense as the drama progresses because Ayeza’s character is shady, she has a mischievous and mean streak to her.
tbh sarah's was also no way looking like a player..not from her body makeup and hair. Her body language was also off! she seems too casual with her characters..doesnt seem invested at all
Laapata: I have seen a drama after ages in which Dewaraani Jithaani, Nand and Bhabhis are not against each other, not scheming against each other. Very lovely, peaceful family. And uff the opening seen.... it was soooo cute and funny. Ghusal Khany me jaa k naha ley.... hahahah. Another beautiful thing is ayeza khan saying "chote mamu" "bary mamu"'. And not taking their names (e.g. saleem mamu etc). It may be a small thing for others but for me it was special because I also call my youngest mamu chote mamu and all the other uncles aunties with different titles like mamu jan khala jaan etc. Another interesting thing, there was no "Haw haye" and drama, when falak and the guy told their parents that they love each other and want to marry. Agr sab parents dramon me itny open minded hon to shaid adhy se ziada dramas to exist hi na kren.
DNUTN: I had tears in my eyes during two instances. 1. Zulfi smiling when Naseem hugs her mother. 2. His smile again when Naseem’s dad hugs her. These officers are really hardworking and we need more representation of positive role models in society like Zulfi!!!
Hassan and Amna I belong to an educational family and Allah blessed me with a daughter and people were like who came to meet said "shukar hy rang saaf hy , rang to gora hy , acha hy rang maa py gya hy " suffice to say despite all the education we still stuck in the same mentality that gora rang is appealing . even my brother has dark skin and he face the same criticism,it was my mother who supported him and gave him the confidence , jb wo paida huay thy my father was like " ye to kalla hy pta ni kis py gya hy " so all it make sense shown in drama
Yes true.If u r dark skinned u r called Kalu..At least in India.All different looks r all always looked down.Now some educated people r takeing care to improve.
The demeanor of the character Parizad is not something that is just natural.. people who have been a victim of judgemental comments on their skin tone, weight, etc. start to lose confidence and develop such body language (kandhay jhuka k chalna and all) the point of showing this birth and making his phupo comment on his appearance back then indicates that since birth he has been facing such comments. That is what has made him the way he is now. There is no flaw in showing him as a dark skin toned guy, such issues do exist in our society.
I used to walk a bit like that when I was younger because my cousins made fun of my tall height and I felt awkward because ppl my age were short and I felt embarrassed about it and slouch my shoulders
I am not a proponent of casting an actor who is light skinned for a darker skinned character but I see the reason for him to be dark skinned. When the child was born, everyone mocked his mother’s choice of calling him “Parizaad”. No one can tell whether a baby will be cool, confident or attractive really...everyone can see that he will be dark or light skinned and mock that immediately.
Also i would like to add that constant exposure to demeaning remarks based on appearance like skin tone which is very common in sub continent especially in early childhood shatter the child personality with effects like low self confidence which physically manifests stutter etc im not watching parizad currently so i can't really say how it has affected him but him having darker skin tone makes sense especially since makes a commentary on how people with darker skin color are treated in our society
Amna I watch shows after I listen to your reviews , sitting in Australia , I found Raqeebl Se beautiful fantastic and worthy of any other OTT platform like Netflix and or Amazon with English subtitles ! Just lovely series ,,, after listening now I am watching laapata Also watched DNUTH ,,, great series and such shows must get full support from all of us !,
Thank you Kashf foundation and whole team of DNUTN for creating this masterpiece with strong messages👏👏💐💯.This was a perfect ending which seems like a new beginning. Phenomenal performances of all child actors, junior and senior actors with brilliant direction of Kashif Nisar.
Come on Hassan and Amna! Don't behave like the un justified critic some times... ... The physical black description of Parizaad is written in novel.... This is what the writer has shown that People judges the other people on the basis of Dark/Skin color in our society.... Not on the basis of his innocent heart and good character.... Your logic with reference to Rab na Banadi Jodi does not makes sense... That's written on different theme and perspective.... Majority of audience has already read that novel they know very well that how beautiful this novel his ... 🙏😃
But this is shame that we doesn't have appropriate skin colour actor for this role so we made Ahmad black although he is fair skin shehzad sheikh might have been better choice as his skin colour might have been better and this drama shows how we decide someone is good or bad. On basis of skin colour height faimly background etc🤦🤦🤦
Zulfi turns out to be the hero of the drama of DNUTN 😍 . I felt so happy watching 3 men in such positive roles. One disappointment though, Sherwani should have been punished. The drama showed reality with hope, inspiration and positivity, our youth needs, not doom, self destruction, or aimlessness. No senseless, obsessive ishqs or inferiority complex due to looks, but personality development and achievements. Progressiveness, not regressive stuff. Standing ovation and a big thank you to Kashf foundation, Amna Mufti, Kashif Mehmood, and all actors.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 We need more dramas like DNUTN. Missing it!
Parizaad: I'm in love with parizaad(the drama and the character both). Ahmad Ali Akbar is truly the star of the show...he is phenomenal as parizaad. Parizaad is really interesting and engaging I'm really looking forward to the next episode. I was actually skeptical about naheed going to the roof and studying at night😅 but that twist was really good.
Parizad is amazing. And i think the reason parizaad didn't tell naheed's father that it was Shauki because he knew that shauki is going to spill the beans that naheed wasnt alone. That is the same reason majid and naheed kept quite about Shauki.
Parizaad: The way AAA walks, his demeanor, the way he dealt with the character is so beautiful. How he would have looked repulsive without being dark, because otherwise he is so handsome, he wouldn't look bad. And he is a phenomenal actor, nobody else would fit this role.
AAA nailed the walk, the introvert stance, the bowed eyes, the inferiority complex, all came through without any dialogues. He is a brave young man to take on a look that is below ordinary ( as society judges) only in order to do justice to his character. Speaks volumes for his committment to his craft. I am impressed !!
so let's get this straight; being dark is what makes someone ugly? THIS is why we have a problem with the Parizaad & you all go "no AAA is a great actor, only he could play the role" ok fine. But was it so necessary to embed the fact that being dark is automatically ugly? Astaghfirullah. I hope one day our awaam is able to wake up and stop having a fairness complex. In the eyes of god everyone is equal.
@@fh1965 , being dark is certainly NOT equal to being ugly. In any case beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. At the end of the day, we all love Parizaads character and soul and therefore, soon, his looks cease to matter. THAT is the crux of the issue . Could anyone else have played this character..?... Sure , any actor worth his salt should be able to. But that in no way detracts from the effort AAA has put in.
Laapata: the scene where shams comes like a hero or gunda what ever was so unrealistic. How the hell he got to know that she is being harassed on the road and how the hell he gathered all the boys. SECONDLY ayeza's scene where she threatens shopkeeper was so problematic. NO ONE TALKED about that. i honestly loved sara and ali rehman THE CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS AMAZING but ayeza's character looked so cringy to me and all the other characters were also so plain. I didnt enjoyed them at all. Hope gohar's character is something which gives us entertain.
Ahmed Ali Akbar, Wahaj Ali, Yumna Zaidi, Umair Rana, Yasra Rizvi, Noor ul Hassan and Samiya Mumtaz are few actors whose acting pierces right through the heart and palpatates with it. It makes you feel the right emotion, placed at the right spot. Stellar performances masha Allah.
DNUTN was not just a drama. It was a journey where we learned so many lessons and reality of our society these days! Ending doesn't always need to be perfect.What matters is whether we learned something from it or not.
DNUTN: I like how the ending was open-ended...that’s realistic because, unfortunately, real life hardly ever has a happy ending. As Muslims, we believe in the Day of Judgment, where every wrong will be righted. Not everyone got what they deserved in this drama, and that mirrors real life as well.
Very true. It was so realistically wrapped nothing seemed like a typical Pakistani drama ending. Even the realisation of Qazi Sahab was done right because I wasn't convinced how his inner human can wake up after so many years only by listening to Zulfi and Jimmy but then I was relieved to see the scene that triggered his thoughts and how he reflected it all made sense.
So true. Its beauty was in its reality and the depiction of the staunch truth that haunts our society. So while you could take a Naseem into goodness, the perpetrator not always gets the punishment. But Dil na Umeed nahin. The show gave us all alot of "Umeed" in these horrible times.
Nothing was clarified about Aunty (zulfi's mom) who was raising the girls in the brothel. Was she undercover to try to save the girls?? and What about the girl that sumbul was trying to help escape? did she end up escaping or did Ikram kill her?
@@eeshakhan1842 Zulfi’s mother was never part of the brothel...she lived in her own house...I agree about shazia, that was one loose end that they never clarified...
Also with DNUTN, the ambiguity of Big Boss was deliberate, in my opinion, to illustrate that anyone can be Big Boss. We don’t know what his political affiliation or profession was; if that happened, then viewers would start attributing those aspects to human trafficking. This showed that big boss could literally be anyone, from any profession, political affiliation, or lifestyle.
Parizaad is definitely worth watching- everyone in the cast is doing a great job. You cannot dismiss Laapata after 2 episodes- should wait and watch, appears quite realistic and the OST is exceptional as is the OST of Parizaad. I wish DNUTN was excellent I hope it inspires others to make meaningful dramas- kudos to the producers, director, writer and all actors.
Parizaad: honesty of the character has nothing to do with the color of the skin. Majid bhai is fair skinned but a hypocrite vis a vis Parizaad who is dark skinned but of a noble character! Maybe that is the crux of the drama
It is very disappointing to see that Fahad Idiot Mustafa’s addition to the industry has been very bad. His bigbang is causing and normalizing life size issues
I was expecting that you guys would talk about how Ayeza Khan falsely accuses a shopkeeper in LAAPATA. That scene made me feel very uncomfortable. It was totally wrong and should not have been included.
DNUTN hands down one of the best drama I have ever seen the whole cast deserve a standing ovation .I want to see yumna and wahaj again they shared amazing chemistry
What makes DNUTN special is that although the theme is dark and disturbing, the storytelling kept the human element consistent. E.G. in the midst of all that desperation and sorrow, there is also true friendship and love and compassion....
The second episode of parizad encouraged me to read the novel and I must say it's a MASTERPIECE ❤ it's so damn emotional yet so engaging, looking forward for the drama. Moreover, it is clearly discussed in the novel that it was necessary to darken the skin color of parizad, even in the novel he had scars also with dark skin color. So basically, the character is a dark skin person with scars and all. Moreover, the story would link in the future why it was important to show that skin color. It has a relevance with the storyline ❤ Ahmed Ali Akbar has proved himself and justified the role of parizad, this is going to be one of his major and phenomenal perfornance delivered in his career.
Yes in novel they properly explain his demeanor and looks and the main theme of novel is about a dark skin person with scars who consider himself ugly.. in novel the story was told from parizads perspective so we perfectly knew about his thought process but in drama they have made some changes let's see how they show his journey but it's still very engaging and Ahmed Ali Akbar is acting brilliantly
I loved parizaad, Ahmed Ali Akbar is doing a fantastic job. That really was a shocking turning point when Majid's true self was shown. I think after his sister gets married, parizaad would move to another city and one by one the other 4 girls would come into his life and everyone would manipulate him for their own gains taking him as a harmless person. Though yumna's character might be an exception, she could be the one to help him uplift his spirit and boost his confidence. I haven't read the novel but I like to speculate.
I've left watching Pakistani dramas for the last 4 years because of extreme level of script and directional mistakes I've gone into depression while looking those toxic dramas but I must say when I saw both of you on reviewing dramas I've got my courage back to watch again Pakistani dramas. I feel you are my inner voice and those things which I can't say to actors and production houses on their mistakes.....you have become my voice. Thanks Hassan and Amna for such intellectual review on dramas.
DNUTN: this was a masterpiece! True reflection of ills of our society. Beside others, I loved zulfi’s part in the last episode and his line that Baitian state ki zimmy dari hein and that state will protect them. This is so relevant in current times. I wish states takes responsibility of the daughters of the nation just like zulfi did!! Shout out to Kashf foundation! They always bring the best and most meaningful content which is both entertaining and educational 👏👏👏
I'm surprised that you didn't talk about the problematic scene between Ayeza and the shopkeeper especially considering the current environment of the country.
I thought geeti would be just like meenu. But both characters were soooooooo different. The story telling was so good and direction was👌👌👌 Ali Rehman khan was so diffrent in this role. His appearance and acting was superb.
Parizaad: The fact that they have shown parizaad as a dark skinned person is because it's based on a novel that dates back to 7 to 8 years. It was the time where dark skin was an ultimate synonym of ugliness. Moreover, adding freckles or acne marks would have made more sense. As depicted in the novel, parizaad was someone you don't wanna look at the person twice.
about DNUTN, I too wanted a conclusion of Sawera and Zulfi.. and when Dr. ko arrest kia to baba Ranjha was there but with the same looks as he used to be when Jimmy was a young boy. 12 15 saal bad usko kuch to buddha hona chahye. or Ikram ko b arrest krty dikha dety..
DNUTN deserves a standing ovation for daring to address such important taboo topics present in each household! I still remember when my sis in law got married to my husband’s brother she had mentioned how she was super interested and good in Physics but her dad did not even send her to college. I felt terrible and it is So common in our families to just get the girl enough education and then get her married. Naseem’s story is present in every other home. Loved the twist at the end in Parizaad
It's surprising that you people didn't touch on that very problematic scene of Ayeza Khan where she is threatening the shopkeeper with false allegations. Very cleverly veiled as a fun, light-hearted scene but not enough for the sensible, aware people to not notice.
One word for "Lapaata" is weird. It felt like the scenes jumped from one and other. Also can our writers stop writing main characters as cousins and then either have them romantically involved or in rivalry. It's so weird to see two childhood cousins, growing in same house being in love as they grow older. It kind of disgusts me, I see all my cousins as my brothers and not as my future husbands. Probably cuz I recently saw Ayeza as Meenu in "Chupke Chupke", her character here as Geeti annoyed me and felt way to dramatic. I was hoping this to be a more mature drama yet it has a comedy genre which is lowkey misleading. Had high hopes but just another two cousins against each other for a man, kind of story.
It looks like Falak will leave though, not because of Geeti but because Shams is drifting somewhere she definitely won't approve of (gambling). So hopefully there won't be a lot of fighting over one guy.
Parizaad: This is the irony you critical duo! Parizaad is a beautiful, sensitive soul, the apple of his mother's eye, beloved to his sister, educated, poetic, modest, and revered by respectable members of the neighborhood. You don't feel pity for him, you feel sympathy. He doesn't clean gutters, he teaches students to ace their exams. It is his dark skin that makes him unappealing and undermines his efforts to add value. This is what causes him to be framed and rejected by fair dames and delivers regular blows to his self-esteem. It would be hard to buy that he is an outcast if he wasn't as dark as he is. The lyrics say, "Taareek jinn ke chehre hain, muqaddaron pe jaale hain." It will be an ongoing debate throughout the serial whether it is one's demeanor or one's appearance that makes them unattractive. In Pari's case, once he recovers from heartbreak, he can march forward with hope but he will face resistance again all because he is the smooth-skinned "ugly duckling".
I read the whole novel and tbh I found it is really exaggerated Isey zyada barey maslay le kar jeetat hai loug I know a colleague who is a doctor and has very dark complexion but he is extremely intelligent and he is engaged to a white skinned fellow doctor So color itna bhi matter nHi krta jitna hashim nadeem ne exaggerate kardiya Dusra parizaad ki had se bari self pitty Was on my nerves
@@theonewithbrains192 That's one exceptional colleague of yours. Majority of South Asians don't get called after an interview or hear from their suitors because of dark skin. If Hashim Nadeem has created a fellow from his imagination who has fire in his belly but loses opportunities where glamour sells, then he is going to be depressed. One important reference that SH have missed in their review from the first episode is, Parizaad as an infant always ended up cooing in a pretty woman's lap. As a kid with a face only a mother can love, he is shown to be pulled towards beauty. All the literature he reads celebrates the same and where looks aren't as important, Pari accepts second place out of his conditioning.
DNUTN will always be considered a classic at least in my books,because I did not find a single loophole in this story. Congrats to the whole TEAM. Nothing else in the whole week can hook me but parizaad
DNUTN: Yes definitely a huge round of applause and shoutout to the whole team! What an excellent drama, a league of its own. it was such a thought-provoking drama with so many lessons to be learnt. We wish to see more such dramas been made. I loved how there was a dose of mystery/suspense in each episode keeping us intrigued about what will happen. Will miss DNUTN! Could you interview both the girls who played the younger and older Naseem; both did a fab job. And also an interview with Saima Mumtaz.
I am really disappointed that you guys didn’t criticise over that ‘false accusation’ of harassment scene in LAAPATA. No matter if it’s played by Ayeza. It should be criticised!
@@ubaiddraza doesn’t matter. The problem is that they showed it in a fun way. This issue is not funny at all. Look how dunk dealt with it with all seriousness. That’s what’s needed.
DNUTN: Whatever is said in praise of this drama will only be lacking : Aamna Mufti's writing, Kashif Nisar's direction and the entire cast and crew's efforts for the bravery they've displayed by associating themselves with such a project! That we were given such characters who made us invest in them, laugh and cry with them and made us look within ourselves- this is the power of great art which evokes strong feelings and speaks to our collective conscience. More power to Kashaf Foundation for inspiring such meaningful content that leaves a mark on society. Parizaad is the other show I look forward to. Ahmed Ali Akbar is so convincing in a role that redefines how we view & appreciate masculinity. From the usual fare of seeing the 'agressive, overly-confident, proudly callous tough-guy' mold to a sensitive, shy, quiet but in no way 'weak' type..truly refreshing. Fine work AAA as well as the entire cast have done!
Jimmy,Zulfi,TM,Kazi Sahab are the male characters we need in Pak dramas..and unfortunatly are very rarely seen in Pakistani dramas.......literally Zimmy,Zulfi, TM were my farishtas...their mentality is the mentality l would want the men in our society to have...
Parizad deserves oscar...I literally cried..thankyou so much for giving us this drama...Ahmed ali akbar bht zabardast..fantastic..more talented and handsome than fawad Khan
I think they did well by making him dark in Parizaad cause in our society dark skin faces alot of hate and racism. Agar dark skin na hota to his suffer wouldn't be realistic .
Very wrong message ,taking advantage of anybody ,or blackmail them,people should remember that ,jo bhi na haq tum kisi se lete ho woh haram hai aur uska result bhugatna padega,
Laapata is such an eye-soothing drama. Such a fresh concept and story. Loved the direction and cinematography, so brilliant. Sarah, ayeza and ali rehman all the actors did their best. Loved the strong female characters especially Sarah's character.
Every drama starts with a good note but when it comes on 15-16 episodes it becomes boring and dragged😔.Hope Parizaad and Lapata will not be dragged like fitoor,Raqs e bismil and KAM3
Showing dark skin colour in Parizad was very important. This is our society where we live. We judge people on their appearances. I have 3 sons and my younger one is bit darker. Everyone treats him different. Tell me what's the definition of being beautiful in our society?? .. gora rang is always on the top.. people always take you for granted. I'm loving parizad. One of the best performance by Ahmed Ali.
DNUTN - Realistic ending,In society how many times ppl who are in power get caught & punished,its mostly about the struggle of aam insaan & the ideology behind it
I would you guys to do a Haute Bites on actors and their responsiblities . I was so offended by the false acussation scene in Laapata , and the most followed pakistani actresses was performing it was even more problematic . With great power comes great responsiblities . I have never seen Aiza Khan playing a strong examplary female protagonist . While its her responsiblity to promote these kinda characters more . Even Danish being immensely popular has almost always chosen objectionable scripts . P.s. never seen Ayeza speaking about any kind of social issues , being private is different , but being goody two shoes is different .
I agree with you. I'm so disappointed they just dedicated 10 mins fir praising aiza and didn't give 1 minute to talk about her choices. I never thought i will say it but i think hassan and amna are biased.
I would respectfully disagree with the review on dark skin in Parizaad. It was needed to do the justice to the drama. Social bias for the dark skin is the ugly reality of our society and it is deeply rooted. Also if casted someone else with naturally dark skin would unfortunately not do the justice to the role as Ahmed Ali Akbar did. Opinions may differ here ✌🏻
@@ixa.m9915 of course you are right but they have shown the reality of our society. He comes from a poor background already. But his dark skin makes him a target for mockery which in areas that they have shown is a big deal. In term of dark skin I mean it would have been better to choose A darker actor but who I n our industry is as dark as they have shown AAA. That in itself shows the bias towards dark skin. I mean mohaib Mirza is one name I think of but even he is slightly darker than our white washed heroes. In no way is he considered abnormally dark!
Laapata; Ayeza Khan’s false harassment scene was really problematic Plus I don’t know if its just me or anyone else also felt that she was copying Kareena Kapoor from Jab We Met
One thing I disagree In Parizaad review is that it was important to make him look black, because Ahmed ail Akbar in real life has a white skin tone. And in Parizaad they wanted to show him as an ugly person, so if they showed him white maybe he wouldn't look ugly. I am not saying that an black person is ugly, but in our society black people are treated as ugly. again I'm not saying that black people are ugly, they are more beautiful than white people.🙂there should be no judgment on skin color. And no one should be made fun because the color of there skin.
I saw your last video and with all due respect as an old subscriber i was extremely disappointed because the whole debate was about dressing of women. I know it was general but in noor's case you could have talked about what could his mental state could be that he was making stories about a robbery right after murdering her. You could have talked about how we have made money so important and zahir is a product of our society's wants. Good education good money good family equals to perfection and in the end we forget that upbringing is such an important thing for both men and women. Could have talked about emotional intelligence and the murderers plans that his friends knew. When you have a platform to give awareness use it in a proper way. Hope you read it.
I'm sorry in my opinion aiza was not center of attention of lapata drama. So disappointed you didn't discuss about how she casually done the harassment scene.
DNUTN was such a beautiful project. Will miss it immensely. The character developments for all the characters were superb. The ending was so hopeful. Kudos to Kashaf foundation and everyone else involved in this wonderful project👏
Laapata is a total hopeless character role as far as Ayeza is concerned, too much over acting and Ayeza is too old for such a role which is very obvious in close shots. Unfortunately the maturity shows in her face and such a happy-go-lucky role looks forced on her almost like she is going through an 'early' mid-life crisis. Sorry to say but this is my view.
This world needs men with mindsets like jimmy and zulfi to make it a better place for women..[I want to praise the writer "AmnaMufti" for being such an incredible and sensible writer.][I loved the fact they didn't show identity of Baray Sahab. Linking him to any institution like politics or religion would've been unfair. They kept him as an abstraction instead, to show he can be anyone as such people are found everywhere, under the mask of honorable humans of our society.][#DilNaUmeedTohNahi][#proudpakistan]
Loved the outlook that Hassan gave for DNUTN. The serial's intention wasn't to put everything in order and to put all fhe bad guys behind bars. And also why they didn't show the bad guy's face. Good one Hassan. In Parizaad, if they had taken a dark skinned person then as u said for DNUTN, people would not have separated the character from the actor. He would have faced the situation in real life too, that's why taking a fair skinned person and giving him a darker complexion makes sense. In Dour, there is more misery ahead for Asma as seen in the teasers. She does seem to be a strong character at some places. But manipulation will happen at the hands of Mrs Ihtesham and Abaan which unfortunately Romaan will not be able to see. So kind of depressing. In Lapataa, I agree with Amna about Gaiti..Ayeza Khan's character is too loud to absorb at all times. The scene at the shop should be called out too. Not good at all. I'm loving today's review, that's why I edited my comment so many times:-D
سویرا کے کریکٹر کا اینڈ چند اقساط پہلے ہی ہوگیا تھا, جب کردار زیادہ ہوں رائٹر سب کی اینڈنگ لاسٹ قسط میں نہیں کرتا, آہستہ آہستہ سب کے اینڈ کی طرف بڑھتا ہے-
When I watched the last episode I realize one thing it showcased our society that these peoole exist and will exist but there is a hope they are not easy people to crack . You see power but in the end HOPE
DNTN..... You never gave any credit to Omar Rana and Wahaj 's scene with Noor ul hassan.that was such a turning point .... And phenomenal acting by them
Parizaad For Hassan :I think it was essentially important to show parizaad dark because Hassan you might be okay with with the fact that dark is not ugly but society is not they think dark means ugly and I feel this is the reason they have made a slight change in the storyline as to make parizaad dark rather than showing birth mark on his face which was the actual story.
Parizaad- oh hello .. it is about colour. When a kid is born with dark skin.. he is not aware of it n has no inferior complex due to it. But khaandaan n family wale continuously roz usei yahi point karte rahein then n only then the personality will become like that. Otherwise kya kami hai usme to feel inferior? He is made to feel inferior n that is the story.
Amna ji, Hassan has convinced you to see Ishq hai but you couldn't convince him for Yuo toh hai pyar bahut as you liked the story... That's not fair... Wish you could convince him as like ishq hai the story of YTHPB is also a good story 🙏
My husband is as much passionate about cricket as for nothing but whenever I asked him what if your daughter would like to be a cricketer then he was use to say that no I would not allow her as it is not for girls but after watching DNUTN he is now convinced that whatever his child would like to do that is ethical, regardless of gender he would support them and that's the achievement of the series at domestic level ❤
My one regret for parizaad would be not be using an actual dark skinned actor, now that I think of it there aren't any modern dark skinned actors in Pakistan
@@sabazaidi9022 audition, fine better actors, new actors, give people with dark skin who must be trying to get a role as a hero in drama for years, a chance. I am sure there are many boys in Pakistan who want to be hero and have the skill set but were never even called for an audition because of their skin colour. A little effort from the makers would have been appreciated. Ahmed Ali is definitely fabulous and deserves a lot more work and he could fit in any other role.
Naeem wala scene was the first time he called him by his first name he always used sahab with his name but at that scene he didn't, thats something to note
Shauky was more upright than the guy who is considered to be the nicest guy in the mohalla. Parizad shows us the lenses through which our society judges people according to their appearances.
I had the same thought.
Completely agree
Agreed
Majid bhai is like our keyboard warriors Jo actors actresses ko
Jakey "deen " sikha rahay hotey hai
Can’t agree more
I disagree with you on parizaad. It is not about what should be but what actually is in the minds of people. I think they are showing how judgmental people are about dark skinned people, that is the main story, how else would they have shown people's bias towards dark skinned people, without making parizaad dark that wouldn't be possible.
totally agreeed👍❤️
I agree
Agreee
Yes story of parizaad is treatment of story of dark skinned ppl
I agree n i think there should be more talk about this topic
DNUTN: A lot of things this masterpiece unfolded in front of us.... 1: They touched the topic of Human trafficking so sensibly that not a single dialogue or scene was un necessary , controversial or meant to sensationalize the original message......
2: The drama was not rebel... They actually showed how the woman can fight while living within their limits...
3: they didn't glorify the running away of NZ... They showed it is not the solution to your problems... It can create more problems for girls to leave the family....
4: Men and women both are compulsory for each other... There is no need to nullify the men while showing women powerful...
One of the bestest sows I have ever watched on TV...
Thanks to something haute for suggesting me...
Agreed to your analysis 👌
Wooow owsum analysis...
Very nice analysis
Seeing shaukay all guilt-ridden and ready to take responsibility made me an emotional wreck. It's the greyness of humans that makes life more acceptable and livable than the absolute Whites and blacks.
Parizaad was heart wrenching to say the least. When Naheed said, 'Mein aur aapka' and the way parizaad looked up made me cry. What a brilliant writing i must say Even though i hate Raqs e bismil and KAM 3. The parallels that were drawn between Majid and Shoki were truly splendid. Shoki whom people think to be an Awaara isn't a bad guy after all and The Namaazi Majid is just a selfish guy. I hated Majid and Naheed. I hope they never be happy after building their life on by insulting someone and bringing bad name to him. I truly felt for Parizaad and i totally felt the insult. It's a sad story and true reflection of our society. Burkhay aur Namaazon k peechy aapko jhoot aur khud garzi mily gi aur chai k khokhey par bethny waly larkay aapko awaara aur badmash lagen gy. Unki muhabbat b aapko begairti aur thark lgti ha....
PS: No Hassan they needed to show his black skin because the benchmark for beauty in our society is the colour of your skin. That's what the basic drive in this story. If you don't show his black skin then he is just a guy who happens to be a 'Seedha saadha' larka and then you won't feel that disgust which Naheed has. She can't even think about him on those lines because of the colour of his skin. It's the essential part of the story and it wouldn't have been much sense if they didn't present him as a black skin guy
Shehzad sheikh might have look better in parizad role according to skin colour and it's a shame that how we embarrass someone just on skin colour which is never someones fault
Bro not all namazi and burkha ppl are dhokebaz not all fingers are same if u are too modern to think that u can keep that views for yourself. Apni kaum k bandho par aisa bol rhay ho Allah k Sahi raaastay pr chal rhay h. No surprise u hated raqse bismil becoz it showed how a true Muslim is. U won't like all this u Will like Shows that promotes chichorapan And behayi
@@zahirshaikh8153 I am talking specifically about this show. I hated raqs e bismil because of the drag and the path it took. Mein befkouff ni jo har Namaazi aur burkay walon k baary mein aesa kahoon.... Jo baat sach ha wo sach ha... Wesy to ye Islami jamhooriya Pakistan ha lekin aap ko yahan khalis doodh ni mily ga, khalis shehad ni mily ga, Saibb ki rerhiyon par red lights lagi milen gi, rishwat k bagair aapka jaiz kaam b ni hoga....
I know someone like shoki whom people call Awaara & badmaash but he is a good human being. On the other hand I also know someone who is Namaazi Parhezgaar in front of Duniya but his inner is full of filth & dirt. People aren't like we take their perception. I always say to others "Jinko zamana bura kehta ha hum unsy khud e mohtat rehty hein par jinko duniya achai ka title dey chuki hoti ha asal mohtaat unsy rehna chaiye".
Tbh I think this complexion think was a bit over exaggerated
My father is way darker than my mother and he is not super rich or so so highly qualified
But this never became a problem in our house
Same with my colleague she is so fair skinned but she falled for a guy who is more tan than parizaad
One of my dark skinned colleague's fiancee has fair skin
All of them our doing in thier life
Parizaad bohot koi zyada hi khud tarsi ka shikar dikhaya hai
Even when I read novel I was like bhai bus kardeyn loug ek hath ek taang se guzara kartay hai yeh har nakami ka sehra rang ko deta hsi
Parizaad just makes me cry, that's my whole review and idea of it. What a phenomenal acting by Ahmed Ali Akbar.
his walk, his mannerisms are so on point. that guy just nailed the portrayal of an introvert. i mean he should be given due credit. people should talk about it as its very rare nowadays to see an actor to get into a character like that. it takes real effort.
@@shh11111 Right
I can't find it on UA-cam
You didn't point out the point everyone is pointing at.
She should not use her social media power to harass the shop keeper I am talking about Lapata .
You should talk about that .
I was hoping they would comment on it as well.
Parizaad is masterpiece.... I was shocked.. It gave me goosebumps seeing that guy dating... Ufffff
at the same time feeling bad for Parizad.. omg kitna masoom or bechara lag raha tha
True true im still stuck in that shock i got from that scene
Same here ...i cried alot in that scene
Seriously same here
DNTUN: it was truly a master piece. I am sad that it is over. I am watching its starting episode nowadays. The way Naeem sherwaani was talking about naseem in front of her father, I have seen similar comments for Noor Muqaddam. This drama was closest to reality.
What did naeem sherwani say? I couldn’t understand it completely
Laapata had a good start but we cannot ignore how casually they slipped in the fact that ayeza threatens the poor shopkeeper who was asking the rightful money she owes him and then she threatens him that if he doesn't let go off the money she will falsely accuse him of harrassment..... SUPERRRR PROBLEMATIC AND I COULDN'T CONTINUE AFTER THAT!!
I felt the same way about this scene. Just because it was Ayeza the main lead and the background music was funny or sort of naughty, doesn’t make the whole scenario OK. Maybe it will make sense as the drama progresses because Ayeza’s character is shady, she has a mischievous and mean streak to her.
@@rnaqvi3628 ayeza negative character he
You are totally right very disappointing
Same here. I chouldn't watched after that
tbh sarah's was also no way looking like a player..not from her body makeup and hair. Her body language was also off! she seems too casual with her characters..doesnt seem invested at all
Laapata: I have seen a drama after ages in which Dewaraani Jithaani, Nand and Bhabhis are not against each other, not scheming against each other. Very lovely, peaceful family. And uff the opening seen.... it was soooo cute and funny. Ghusal Khany me jaa k naha ley.... hahahah. Another beautiful thing is ayeza khan saying "chote mamu" "bary mamu"'. And not taking their names (e.g. saleem mamu etc). It may be a small thing for others but for me it was special because I also call my youngest mamu chote mamu and all the other uncles aunties with different titles like mamu jan khala jaan etc.
Another interesting thing, there was no "Haw haye" and drama, when falak and the guy told their parents that they love each other and want to marry. Agr sab parents dramon me itny open minded hon to shaid adhy se ziada dramas to exist hi na kren.
Right me expect kr rhi thi k abhi nand ya dewarani k khilaf koi baat hogi ya jithani k khilaf pr shukar h aisa kuch nhe hua
DNUTN: I had tears in my eyes during two instances. 1. Zulfi smiling when Naseem hugs her mother. 2. His smile again when Naseem’s dad hugs her. These officers are really hardworking and we need more representation of positive role models in society like Zulfi!!!
Omair Rana has did a wonderful job in potraying Zulfi.What a wonderful actor he is👍👍👍
Hassan and Amna I belong to an educational family and Allah blessed me with a daughter and people were like who came to meet said "shukar hy rang saaf hy , rang to gora hy , acha hy rang maa py gya hy " suffice to say despite all the education we still stuck in the same mentality that gora rang is appealing . even my brother has dark skin and he face the same criticism,it was my mother who supported him and gave him the confidence , jb wo paida huay thy my father was like " ye to kalla hy pta ni kis py gya hy " so all it make sense shown in drama
Yes true.If u r dark skinned u r called Kalu..At least in India.All different looks r all always looked down.Now some educated people r takeing care to improve.
The demeanor of the character Parizad is not something that is just natural.. people who have been a victim of judgemental comments on their skin tone, weight, etc. start to lose confidence and develop such body language (kandhay jhuka k chalna and all) the point of showing this birth and making his phupo comment on his appearance back then indicates that since birth he has been facing such comments. That is what has made him the way he is now. There is no flaw in showing him as a dark skin toned guy, such issues do exist in our society.
totally Agreed
I used to walk a bit like that when I was younger because my cousins made fun of my tall height and I felt awkward because ppl my age were short and I felt embarrassed about it and slouch my shoulders
We
I am not a proponent of casting an actor who is light skinned for a darker skinned character but I see the reason for him to be dark skinned. When the child was born, everyone mocked his mother’s choice of calling him “Parizaad”. No one can tell whether a baby will be cool, confident or attractive really...everyone can see that he will be dark or light skinned and mock that immediately.
Also i would like to add that constant exposure to demeaning remarks based on appearance like skin tone which is very common in sub continent especially in early childhood shatter the child personality with effects like low self confidence which physically manifests stutter etc im not watching parizad currently so i can't really say how it has affected him but him having darker skin tone makes sense especially since makes a commentary on how people with darker skin color are treated in our society
Agree
Agree
There is no drama such as Raqeeb sai n DNUTH.. absolute delight....
Absolutely right
N nowadays paarizad!!!
You should watch parizaad then
Amna I watch shows after I listen to your reviews , sitting in Australia , I found Raqeebl Se beautiful fantastic and worthy of any other OTT platform like Netflix and or Amazon with English subtitles ! Just lovely series ,,, after listening now I am watching laapata Also watched DNUTH ,,, great series and such shows must get full support from all of us !,
@@Lilimo61 watch parizaad
Thank you Kashf foundation and whole team of DNUTN for creating this masterpiece with strong messages👏👏💐💯.This was a perfect ending which seems like a new beginning. Phenomenal performances of all child actors, junior and senior actors with brilliant direction of Kashif Nisar.
Come on Hassan and Amna! Don't behave like the un justified critic some times...
... The physical black description of Parizaad is written in novel.... This is what the writer has shown that People judges the other people on the basis of Dark/Skin color in our society.... Not on the basis of his innocent heart and good character.... Your logic with reference to Rab na Banadi Jodi does not makes sense... That's written on different theme and perspective.... Majority of audience has already read that novel they know very well that how beautiful this novel his ... 🙏😃
But this is shame that we doesn't have appropriate skin colour actor for this role so we made Ahmad black although he is fair skin shehzad sheikh might have been better choice as his skin colour might have been better and this drama shows how we decide someone is good or bad. On basis of skin colour height faimly background etc🤦🤦🤦
Zulfi turns out to be the hero of the drama of DNUTN 😍 . I felt so happy watching 3 men in such positive roles. One disappointment though, Sherwani should have been punished. The drama showed reality with hope, inspiration and positivity, our youth needs, not doom, self destruction, or aimlessness. No senseless, obsessive ishqs or inferiority complex due to looks, but personality development and achievements. Progressiveness, not regressive stuff.
Standing ovation and a big thank you to Kashf foundation, Amna Mufti, Kashif Mehmood, and all actors.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
We need more dramas like DNUTN. Missing it!
Parizaad: I'm in love with parizaad(the drama and the character both). Ahmad Ali Akbar is truly the star of the show...he is phenomenal as parizaad. Parizaad is really interesting and engaging I'm really looking forward to the next episode.
I was actually skeptical about naheed going to the roof and studying at night😅 but that twist was really good.
Parizad is amazing. And i think the reason parizaad didn't tell naheed's father that it was Shauki because he knew that shauki is going to spill the beans that naheed wasnt alone. That is the same reason majid and naheed kept quite about Shauki.
Parizaad: The way AAA walks, his demeanor, the way he dealt with the character is so beautiful. How he would have looked repulsive without being dark, because otherwise he is so handsome, he wouldn't look bad. And he is a phenomenal actor, nobody else would fit this role.
It’s a shame that dark skin colour makes a person less attractive in our culture
AAA nailed the walk, the introvert stance, the bowed eyes, the inferiority complex, all came through without any dialogues. He is a brave young man to take on a look that is below ordinary ( as society judges) only in order to do justice to his character. Speaks volumes for his committment to his craft. I am impressed !!
so let's get this straight; being dark is what makes someone ugly? THIS is why we have a problem with the Parizaad & you all go "no AAA is a great actor, only he could play the role" ok fine. But was it so necessary to embed the fact that being dark is automatically ugly? Astaghfirullah. I hope one day our awaam is able to wake up and stop having a fairness complex. In the eyes of god everyone is equal.
@@fh1965 , being dark is certainly NOT equal to being ugly. In any case beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. At the end of the day, we all love Parizaads character and soul and therefore, soon, his looks cease to matter. THAT is the crux of the issue .
Could anyone else have played this character..?... Sure , any actor worth his salt should be able to. But that in no way detracts from the effort AAA has put in.
If Amna and Hassan do the whole episode for dil na umeed to nahi it wouldn't be enough such a master piece ❤️
Laapata: the scene where shams comes like a hero or gunda what ever was so unrealistic. How the hell he got to know that she is being harassed on the road and how the hell he gathered all the boys. SECONDLY ayeza's scene where she threatens shopkeeper was so problematic. NO ONE TALKED about that. i honestly loved sara and ali rehman THE CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS AMAZING but ayeza's character looked so cringy to me and all the other characters were also so plain. I didnt enjoyed them at all. Hope gohar's character is something which gives us entertain.
Ahmed Ali Akbar, Wahaj Ali, Yumna Zaidi, Umair Rana, Yasra Rizvi, Noor ul Hassan and Samiya Mumtaz are few actors whose acting pierces right through the heart and palpatates with it. It makes you feel the right emotion, placed at the right spot. Stellar performances masha Allah.
Rightly said, sania saeed, nouman ijaz too
@@hani863 absolutely. Stalwarts
DNUTN was not just a drama. It was a journey where we learned so many lessons and reality of our society these days! Ending doesn't always need to be perfect.What matters is whether we learned something from it or not.
DNUTN: I like how the ending was open-ended...that’s realistic because, unfortunately, real life hardly ever has a happy ending. As Muslims, we believe in the Day of Judgment, where every wrong will be righted. Not everyone got what they deserved in this drama, and that mirrors real life as well.
Very true. It was so realistically wrapped nothing seemed like a typical Pakistani drama ending. Even the realisation of Qazi Sahab was done right because I wasn't convinced how his inner human can wake up after so many years only by listening to Zulfi and Jimmy but then I was relieved to see the scene that triggered his thoughts and how he reflected it all made sense.
Agreed. The storyline and direction is so gripping. I hope now that all episodes have aired more people will appreciate it.
So true. Its beauty was in its reality and the depiction of the staunch truth that haunts our society. So while you could take a Naseem into goodness, the perpetrator not always gets the punishment. But Dil na Umeed nahin. The show gave us all alot of "Umeed" in these horrible times.
Nothing was clarified about Aunty (zulfi's mom) who was raising the girls in the brothel. Was she undercover to try to save the girls?? and What about the girl that sumbul was trying to help escape? did she end up escaping or did Ikram kill her?
@@eeshakhan1842 Zulfi’s mother was never part of the brothel...she lived in her own house...I agree about shazia, that was one loose end that they never clarified...
Also with DNUTN, the ambiguity of Big Boss was deliberate, in my opinion, to illustrate that anyone can be Big Boss. We don’t know what his political affiliation or profession was; if that happened, then viewers would start attributing those aspects to human trafficking. This showed that big boss could literally be anyone, from any profession, political affiliation, or lifestyle.
Agreed 👍
Parizaad is definitely worth watching- everyone in the cast is doing a great job. You cannot dismiss Laapata after 2 episodes- should wait and watch, appears quite realistic and the OST is exceptional as is the OST of Parizaad. I wish DNUTN was excellent I hope it inspires others to make meaningful dramas- kudos to the producers, director, writer and all actors.
Parizaad: A dark skinned person is looked down upon in our society; therefore, it was important to show him as dark skinned.
Agree
Parizaad: honesty of the character has nothing to do with the color of the skin. Majid bhai is fair skinned but a hypocrite vis a vis Parizaad who is dark skinned but of a noble character! Maybe that is the crux of the drama
It is very disappointing to see that Fahad Idiot Mustafa’s addition to the industry has been very bad. His bigbang is causing and normalizing life size issues
For which drama.. Ishq hai?
So true. All the problematic dramas end up being his production.
Yes,jalan too
Why people are watching it ? Trend q kar raha hy ? Nai kare ga to wo nai bnaye gy as simple as it
Aap plz naam ka ehteraam kejeay...."Mustafa" k sath aap ny idiot likha hy...
I was expecting that you guys would talk about how Ayeza Khan falsely accuses a shopkeeper in LAAPATA. That scene made me feel very uncomfortable. It was totally wrong and should not have been included.
True
@@javeriafazal2299 it’s not being normalised.
I think u guys should drop Pardes and Dour both.
Yes. Yun to Pyar hai baut is much better then dour, ishq hai and pardes.
DNUTN hands down one of the best drama I have ever seen the whole cast deserve a standing ovation .I want to see yumna and wahaj again they shared amazing chemistry
You should watch Raqeeb Se!!
What makes DNUTN special is that although the theme is dark and disturbing, the storytelling kept the human element consistent. E.G. in the midst of all that desperation and sorrow, there is also true friendship and love and compassion....
The second episode of parizad encouraged me to read the novel and I must say it's a MASTERPIECE ❤ it's so damn emotional yet so engaging, looking forward for the drama. Moreover, it is clearly discussed in the novel that it was necessary to darken the skin color of parizad, even in the novel he had scars also with dark skin color. So basically, the character is a dark skin person with scars and all. Moreover, the story would link in the future why it was important to show that skin color. It has a relevance with the storyline ❤ Ahmed Ali Akbar has proved himself and justified the role of parizad, this is going to be one of his major and phenomenal perfornance delivered in his career.
Yes in novel they properly explain his demeanor and looks and the main theme of novel is about a dark skin person with scars who consider himself ugly.. in novel the story was told from parizads perspective so we perfectly knew about his thought process but in drama they have made some changes let's see how they show his journey but it's still very engaging and Ahmed Ali Akbar is acting brilliantly
I loved parizaad, Ahmed Ali Akbar is doing a fantastic job. That really was a shocking turning point when Majid's true self was shown. I think after his sister gets married, parizaad would move to another city and one by one the other 4 girls would come into his life and everyone would manipulate him for their own gains taking him as a harmless person. Though yumna's character might be an exception, she could be the one to help him uplift his spirit and boost his confidence. I haven't read the novel but I like to speculate.
I've left watching Pakistani dramas for the last 4 years because of extreme level of script and directional mistakes I've gone into depression while looking those toxic dramas but I must say when I saw both of you on reviewing dramas I've got my courage back to watch again Pakistani dramas. I feel you are my inner voice and those things which I can't say to actors and production houses on their mistakes.....you have become my voice. Thanks Hassan and Amna for such intellectual review on dramas.
DNUTN: this was a masterpiece! True reflection of ills of our society. Beside others, I loved zulfi’s part in the last episode and his line that Baitian state ki zimmy dari hein and that state will protect them. This is so relevant in current times. I wish states takes responsibility of the daughters of the nation just like zulfi did!!
Shout out to Kashf foundation! They always bring the best and most meaningful content which is both entertaining and educational 👏👏👏
Zulfi's character was outstanding. Omair Rana has really performed this character exceptionally well.
I am very pleased with Parizaad airing, I am not sure abt Laapata story but it’s OST 👌👌👌
I'm surprised that you didn't talk about the problematic scene between Ayeza and the shopkeeper especially considering the current environment of the country.
Exactly!!!
It’s not that if a big deal omg
I thought geeti would be just like meenu.
But both characters were soooooooo different.
The story telling was so good and direction was👌👌👌
Ali Rehman khan was so diffrent in this role. His appearance and acting was superb.
Parizaad: The fact that they have shown parizaad as a dark skinned person is because it's based on a novel that dates back to 7 to 8 years. It was the time where dark skin was an ultimate synonym of ugliness. Moreover, adding freckles or acne marks would have made more sense. As depicted in the novel, parizaad was someone you don't wanna look at the person twice.
Abi b wohi time chal rha ha jahan dark skin ko badsurat kaha jata ha. Kuch zada changes nai ai
Things haven't changed much since then
things have changed on the screen
(may be), but not in the reality.
well said dear
about DNUTN, I too wanted a conclusion of Sawera and Zulfi..
and when Dr. ko arrest kia to baba Ranjha was there but with the same looks as he used to be when Jimmy was a young boy. 12 15 saal bad usko kuch to buddha hona chahye.
or Ikram ko b arrest krty dikha dety..
Pemra ki wajah se bohat se scenes cut kardiye gaye hain. There were lots of BTS a saw that are not in drama
DNUTN deserves a standing ovation for daring to address such important taboo topics present in each household! I still remember when my sis in law got married to my husband’s brother she had mentioned how she was super interested and good in Physics but her dad did not even send her to college. I felt terrible and it is So common in our families to just get the girl enough education and then get her married. Naseem’s story is present in every other home. Loved the twist at the end in Parizaad
It's surprising that you people didn't touch on that very problematic scene of Ayeza Khan where she is threatening the shopkeeper with false allegations. Very cleverly veiled as a fun, light-hearted scene but not enough for the sensible, aware people to not notice.
@Rabia Hasan Amma tv aur mein criticized Ayeza for chupke chupke in 1 episode and she blocked them 🤣
It’s such a shame that ARY, GEO and HUM TV did not play DNUTN. It’s their loss and shame on them for being so trp driven and short sighted
One word for "Lapaata" is weird. It felt like the scenes jumped from one and other. Also can our writers stop writing main characters as cousins and then either have them romantically involved or in rivalry. It's so weird to see two childhood cousins, growing in same house being in love as they grow older. It kind of disgusts me, I see all my cousins as my brothers and not as my future husbands. Probably cuz I recently saw Ayeza as Meenu in "Chupke Chupke", her character here as Geeti annoyed me and felt way to dramatic. I was hoping this to be a more mature drama yet it has a comedy genre which is lowkey misleading. Had high hopes but just another two cousins against each other for a man, kind of story.
It looks like Falak will leave though, not because of Geeti but because Shams is drifting somewhere she definitely won't approve of (gambling). So hopefully there won't be a lot of fighting over one guy.
Parizaad: This is the irony you critical duo! Parizaad is a beautiful, sensitive soul, the apple of his mother's eye, beloved to his sister, educated, poetic, modest, and revered by respectable members of the neighborhood. You don't feel pity for him, you feel sympathy. He doesn't clean gutters, he teaches students to ace their exams. It is his dark skin that makes him unappealing and undermines his efforts to add value. This is what causes him to be framed and rejected by fair dames and delivers regular blows to his self-esteem. It would be hard to buy that he is an outcast if he wasn't as dark as he is. The lyrics say, "Taareek jinn ke chehre hain, muqaddaron pe jaale hain." It will be an ongoing debate throughout the serial whether it is one's demeanor or one's appearance that makes them unattractive. In Pari's case, once he recovers from heartbreak, he can march forward with hope but he will face resistance again all because he is the smooth-skinned "ugly duckling".
I read the whole novel and tbh I found it is really exaggerated
Isey zyada barey maslay le kar jeetat hai loug
I know a colleague who is a doctor and has very dark complexion but he is extremely intelligent and he is engaged to a white skinned fellow doctor
So color itna bhi matter nHi krta jitna hashim nadeem ne exaggerate kardiya
Dusra parizaad ki had se bari self pitty
Was on my nerves
@@theonewithbrains192 That's one exceptional colleague of yours. Majority of South Asians don't get called after an interview or hear from their suitors because of dark skin. If Hashim Nadeem has created a fellow from his imagination who has fire in his belly but loses opportunities where glamour sells, then he is going to be depressed.
One important reference that SH have missed in their review from the first episode is, Parizaad as an infant always ended up cooing in a pretty woman's lap. As a kid with a face only a mother can love, he is shown to be pulled towards beauty. All the literature he reads celebrates the same and where looks aren't as important, Pari accepts second place out of his conditioning.
Geo tv always starts a drama on a good note and then they turn it into a joke after first 2 episodes. Then they drag that joke for 50 episodes.
DNUTN will always be considered a classic at least in my books,because I did not find a single loophole in this story. Congrats to the whole TEAM. Nothing else in the whole week can hook me but parizaad
DNUTN: Yes definitely a huge round of applause and shoutout to the whole team! What an excellent drama, a league of its own. it was such a thought-provoking drama with so many lessons to be learnt. We wish to see more such dramas been made. I loved how there was a dose of mystery/suspense in each episode keeping us intrigued about what will happen. Will miss DNUTN!
Could you interview both the girls who played the younger and older Naseem; both did a fab job. And also an interview with Saima Mumtaz.
I am really disappointed that you guys didn’t criticise over that ‘false accusation’ of harassment scene in LAAPATA. No matter if it’s played by Ayeza. It should be criticised!
Exactly!! I was thinking about Hassan and Amna while watching the scene as well that it would be very much criticized!!!
But thats is true!
This happens and its portrayal was needed.
I don't think it was meant to encourage such things.
@@ubaiddraza doesn’t matter. The problem is that they showed it in a fun way. This issue is not funny at all. Look how dunk dealt with it with all seriousness. That’s what’s needed.
@@ubaiddraza Harasssment is no joke regardless the genre it need to address as serious issue instead of comical joke like Bollywood do in 90s.
DNUTN: Whatever is said in praise of this drama will only be lacking : Aamna Mufti's writing, Kashif Nisar's direction and the entire cast and crew's efforts for the bravery they've displayed by associating themselves with such a project! That we were given such characters who made us invest in them, laugh and cry with them and made us look within ourselves- this is the power of great art which evokes strong feelings and speaks to our collective conscience. More power to Kashaf Foundation for inspiring such meaningful content that leaves a mark on society. Parizaad is the other show I look forward to. Ahmed Ali Akbar is so convincing in a role that redefines how we view & appreciate masculinity. From the usual fare of seeing the 'agressive, overly-confident, proudly callous tough-guy' mold to a sensitive, shy, quiet but in no way 'weak' type..truly refreshing. Fine work AAA as well as the entire cast have done!
Jimmy,Zulfi,TM,Kazi Sahab are the male characters we need in Pak dramas..and unfortunatly are very rarely seen in Pakistani dramas.......literally Zimmy,Zulfi, TM were my farishtas...their mentality is the mentality l would want the men in our society to have...
Parizaad n Lapata....❤
Both are amazing
Dil Na Umeed To Nahi is a masterpiece n classic drama...Loved it!
Dil Na Umeed To Nahi no one and it will be no one for long time.
Parizad deserves oscar...I literally cried..thankyou so much for giving us this drama...Ahmed ali akbar bht zabardast..fantastic..more talented and handsome than fawad Khan
No one:-
Literally no one:-
Hassan:- "kab ke hum na bichray thay"
😁
I think they did well by making him dark in Parizaad cause in our society dark skin faces alot of hate and racism. Agar dark skin na hota to his suffer wouldn't be realistic .
Aamna , you should have talked about that problematic scene of Ayeza with the shopkeeper - in laapata
Yeah I was waiting too
Agreed, was waiting for it
Very wrong message ,taking advantage of anybody ,or blackmail them,people should remember that ,jo bhi na haq tum kisi se lete ho woh haram hai aur uska result bhugatna padega,
Laapata is such an eye-soothing drama. Such a fresh concept and story. Loved the direction and cinematography, so brilliant. Sarah, ayeza and ali rehman all the actors did their best. Loved the strong female characters especially Sarah's character.
Every drama starts with a good note but when it comes on 15-16 episodes it becomes boring and dragged😔.Hope Parizaad and Lapata will not be dragged like fitoor,Raqs e bismil and KAM3
but Raqeeb se wasn't dragged, it was to the point and ended on only 23 episodes
Showing dark skin colour in Parizad was very important. This is our society where we live. We judge people on their appearances. I have 3 sons and my younger one is bit darker. Everyone treats him different. Tell me what's the definition of being beautiful in our society?? .. gora rang is always on the top.. people always take you for granted. I'm loving parizad. One of the best performance by Ahmed Ali.
If you read Parizaad novel, you ll get why Parizaad is Dark skin toned.
I Really Wanna Know Why....But I Don't Want To Read The Novel Right Now Because Phir Serial Ka Saara Suspense Hi Khatam Hojana Hai💯
DNUTN - Realistic ending,In society how many times ppl who are in power get caught & punished,its mostly about the struggle of aam insaan & the ideology behind it
DNUTN ka kya mtlb hy....
Btein plzzzz
I would you guys to do a Haute Bites on actors and their responsiblities . I was so offended by the false acussation scene in Laapata , and the most followed pakistani actresses was performing it was even more problematic . With great power comes great responsiblities . I have never seen Aiza Khan playing a strong examplary female protagonist . While its her responsiblity to promote these kinda characters more . Even Danish being immensely popular has almost always chosen objectionable scripts . P.s. never seen Ayeza speaking about any kind of social issues , being private is different , but being goody two shoes is different .
I'm kind of shocked and disappointed they didn't point it out. Perhaps because it was Ayeza?
what was the false accusation? can you pls. remind?
She seems to be pretending to perfect
I agree with you. I'm so disappointed they just dedicated 10 mins fir praising aiza and didn't give 1 minute to talk about her choices. I never thought i will say it but i think hassan and amna are biased.
@@rimshakhokhar7988 they have criticised ayeza so much in the past. They could have forgotten it. You don’t have to question their integrity like that
I would respectfully disagree with the review on dark skin in Parizaad. It was needed to do the justice to the drama. Social bias for the dark skin is the ugly reality of our society and it is deeply rooted. Also if casted someone else with naturally dark skin would unfortunately not do the justice to the role as Ahmed Ali Akbar did. Opinions may differ here ✌🏻
Totally agree. If he was light skinned then he would be massively appealing and girls would like him, people wouldn’t insult him.
I agree that there is a ridiculous bias against dark skin but why would casting someone with naturally dark skin not have the same impact?
I feel that Ahmed Ali Akbar is an exceptionally talented actor and no other person aa I said could have done the role better than him.
@@ixa.m9915 of course you are right but they have shown the reality of our society. He comes from a poor background already. But his dark skin makes him a target for mockery which in areas that they have shown is a big deal.
In term of dark skin I mean it would have been better to choose A darker actor but who I n our industry is as dark as they have shown AAA. That in itself shows the bias towards dark skin.
I mean mohaib Mirza is one name I think of but even he is slightly darker than our white washed heroes. In no way is he considered abnormally dark!
@@ixa.m9915 I completely agree with you but here the conversation started with the topic of dark skin. No deviations we’re intended
Laapata; Ayeza Khan’s false harassment scene was really problematic
Plus I don’t know if its just me or anyone else also felt that she was copying Kareena Kapoor from Jab We Met
One thing I disagree In Parizaad review is that it was important to make him look black, because Ahmed ail Akbar in real life has a white skin tone. And in Parizaad they wanted to show him as an ugly person, so if they showed him white maybe he wouldn't look ugly. I am not saying that an black person is ugly, but in our society black people are treated as ugly. again I'm not saying that black people are ugly, they are more beautiful than white people.🙂there should be no judgment on skin color. And no one should be made fun because the color of there skin.
I saw your last video and with all due respect as an old subscriber i was extremely disappointed because the whole debate was about dressing of women. I know it was general but in noor's case you could have talked about what could his mental state could be that he was making stories about a robbery right after murdering her. You could have talked about how we have made money so important and zahir is a product of our society's wants. Good education good money good family equals to perfection and in the
end we forget that upbringing is such an important thing for both men and women.
Could have talked about emotional intelligence and the murderers plans that his friends knew.
When you have a platform to give awareness use it in a proper way.
Hope you read it.
Agreed:(
I'm sorry in my opinion aiza was not center of attention of lapata drama. So disappointed you didn't discuss about how she casually done the harassment scene.
DNUTN was such a beautiful project. Will miss it immensely. The character developments for all the characters were superb. The ending was so hopeful. Kudos to Kashaf foundation and everyone else involved in this wonderful project👏
We will miss it🙃 let it finished first🙄
Laapata is a total hopeless character role as far as Ayeza is concerned, too much over acting and Ayeza is too old for such a role which is very obvious in close shots. Unfortunately the maturity shows in her face and such a happy-go-lucky role looks forced on her almost like she is going through an 'early' mid-life crisis. Sorry to say but this is my view.
Agreed..
She was much better in chupke chupke…looking much younger than this drama.
DNUTN is a masterpiece.No drama can even touch the class and level of this drama .a Big hit and thought provoking
So many of my Clinical Psychology colleages and others have watch DNUTN and all praised the effort of whole Team
This world needs men with mindsets like jimmy and zulfi to make it a better place for women..[I want to praise the writer "AmnaMufti" for being such an incredible and sensible writer.][I loved the fact they didn't show identity of Baray Sahab. Linking him to any institution like politics or religion would've been unfair. They kept him as an abstraction instead, to show he can be anyone as such people are found everywhere, under the mask of honorable humans of our society.][#DilNaUmeedTohNahi][#proudpakistan]
Loved the outlook that Hassan gave for DNUTN. The serial's intention wasn't to put everything in order and to put all fhe bad guys behind bars. And also why they didn't show the bad guy's face. Good one Hassan.
In Parizaad, if they had taken a dark skinned person then as u said for DNUTN, people would not have separated the character from the actor. He would have faced the situation in real life too, that's why taking a fair skinned person and giving him a darker complexion makes sense.
In Dour, there is more misery ahead for Asma as seen in the teasers. She does seem to be a strong character at some places. But manipulation will happen at the hands of Mrs Ihtesham and Abaan which unfortunately Romaan will not be able to see. So kind of depressing.
In Lapataa, I agree with Amna about Gaiti..Ayeza Khan's character is too loud to absorb at all times. The scene at the shop should be called out too. Not good at all.
I'm loving today's review, that's why I edited my comment so many times:-D
Shauky character impressed me. He was HUMAN he has flaws but he was gulity too. He wanted to clear his name. He is loofer but he is not bad.
For sure, definitely better than the holier than thou Majid Bhai.
سویرا کے کریکٹر کا اینڈ چند اقساط پہلے ہی ہوگیا تھا, جب کردار زیادہ ہوں رائٹر سب کی اینڈنگ لاسٹ قسط میں نہیں کرتا, آہستہ آہستہ سب کے اینڈ کی طرف بڑھتا ہے-
Exactly
Its better that naeem sherwani was not addressed because the problem was more with qazi saabs mindset and his weak personality
When I watched the last episode I realize one thing it showcased our society that these peoole exist and will exist but there is a hope they are not easy people to crack . You see power but in the end HOPE
Did u guys visited Hum kahan ke sachy thy set 😍 we are waiting for their interviews 😍
Parizaad is so good.. Something fresh in a world of toxic Pakistani dramas 🤧🤧🤧 .. Lapataa was ok
DNTN..... You never gave any credit to Omar Rana and Wahaj 's scene with Noor ul hassan.that was such a turning point .... And phenomenal acting by them
Parizaad For Hassan :I think it was essentially important to show parizaad dark because Hassan you might be okay with with the fact that dark is not ugly but society is not they think dark means ugly and I feel this is the reason they have made a slight change in the storyline as to make parizaad dark rather than showing birth mark on his face which was the actual story.
In actual story he was dark skinned and has birthmarks as well.
Parizaad- oh hello .. it is about colour. When a kid is born with dark skin.. he is not aware of it n has no inferior complex due to it. But khaandaan n family wale continuously roz usei yahi point karte rahein then n only then the personality will become like that. Otherwise kya kami hai usme to feel inferior? He is made to feel inferior n that is the story.
Thank you for talking about DNUTN just bcz of your reviews i watched it it's masterpiece
Amna ji, Hassan has convinced you to see Ishq hai but you couldn't convince him for Yuo toh hai pyar bahut as you liked the story... That's not fair... Wish you could convince him as like ishq hai the story of YTHPB is also a good story 🙏
Agree
Last Haute byte and this review Hassan came across as so much sensitive. Our society need more men like him. I must say you had a great upbringing.
My husband is as much passionate about cricket as for nothing but whenever I asked him what if your daughter would like to be a cricketer then he was use to say that no I would not allow her as it is not for girls but after watching DNUTN he is now convinced that whatever his child would like to do that is ethical, regardless of gender he would support them and that's the achievement of the series at domestic level ❤
Dil na umeed to nahi is the best drama of the "2021"
Other thn sabat shezad Kashmiri also directed yaqeen ka safar ( sajal and ahad’s play )
He was also cinematographer for hum safar and assisted sarmad
Absolutely loved Laapata!! 👌👌👌 really enjoyed it… and looking forward to what happens next!
Ali and Sara have very goog chemistry. Fist time I am liking Ali in a drama.
You have to address the problematic scene of ayeza khan and false allegations
My one regret for parizaad would be not be using an actual dark skinned actor, now that I think of it there aren't any modern dark skinned actors in Pakistan
@@sabazaidi9022 audition, fine better actors, new actors, give people with dark skin who must be trying to get a role as a hero in drama for years, a chance. I am sure there are many boys in Pakistan who want to be hero and have the skill set but were never even called for an audition because of their skin colour. A little effort from the makers would have been appreciated. Ahmed Ali is definitely fabulous and deserves a lot more work and he could fit in any other role.
Pardes is good , Affan and Durefishan are excellent.
Akhi kub tuk is impressive
Parizad and Lapata are interesting with brillient performances
Lapata is amazing.... Editing is unique. Sara n ayeza wala scen was soo good. Their chemistry was good n flawless.
Naeem wala scene was the first time he called him by his first name he always used sahab with his name but at that scene he didn't, thats something to note
