Ishq e Laa - A Subtle and Genuine Display of Intellect and a Drama around Journey towards Divine Love

Ishq e Laa - A Hum TV Drama

A new drama serial that is swiftly and sweetly making space and special place in the hearts of the audiences is a Hum TV Network presentation "IshqeLaa". There are so many unique features to this sweet drama serial. First, there is present a world-class performer Yumna Zaidi in the serial that ensures that the storyline, acting, and dialogue delivery must not be compromised. Secondly, there is Sajal Aly, a renowned young actress of the current times. Her beauty and acting skills are admired by many fans. Though on a frank note, she looks too dull and monotonous. People make a comparison that actually doesn't exist as it is one-sided game in the favor of Yumna Zaidi for all the right reasons. 

The drama serial has another attribute of being the acting debut of Azan Sami Khan, a great musician, singer and now an actor. He is a son of a gorgeous veteran actress, Zeba Bakhtiar, and of Adan Sami Khan, a renowned singer and music composer who denounced Pakistani nationality in the favor of adopting the Indian one. He is doing quite well as a first time performance, keeping all attributes of a charming and chocolate hero in his personality. The concept of Ishq e Laa is a spiritual journey towards the Divine Love, and how it will start will be unveiled in the coming episodes. 

The Lahore based producer and director Amin Iqbal has given some of the great pieces of dramas in the past. It is really interesting as if we analyze then there is an outcoming. The Lahore was always a center of intellect, wisdom, literature, art and craft. So, we always see a new breeze of air whenever there is some production from the Lahore, and somehow it is sad that the whole drama industry as well as the film industry has shifted to the Karachi, So, we see more of a flavor of Indian soap dramas on screens. Here a production like Ishq e Laa, gives a fresh breeze and breath of air. 

Ishq e Laa, means a love for God Almighty that arises in human hear and then there is left no other desire except how to meet and float in the Divine Enlightenment. "Ishq" is an Urdu and Persian word, describing intense love. Laa comes from Arabic, means nothing else. So the joint meaning of the title is oonly a Love of God Almighty and nothing else. It is beautiful drama title that gives us a reason to look into it and we can even extract some reasons of wisdom from it as expectations are quite high...!!

 Currently, in the drama we have seen Yumna Zaidi as Azka and her mother are closely intact with Prayers, and a powerful scene when she is forced to marry a street goon for the sake of honor, and she says that she has handed all her issues to ALLAH Almighty. Then on another frame, we have watched Sajal Ali aka Shanaya, keeps on praying to God Almighty at different times for her dreams and prayers to be answered, and she is involved in humanitarian works without any worldly desires. She is also involved in exposing the corrupts and culprits of the society wide and open. 

We see the pride and arrogance of Azalaan (Azan Sami Khan) , right from the start. Hoe he misbehaved with Azakah, being a poor girl, and he couldn't tolerate her reaction when his friend disrespected Azkah, and she reacted with appropriate replies but he was so offended and asked her to get out. Later, his mother and his friend cum beloved Shinaya tried to make him realize that he was all wrong. But, he didn't listen to them and convinced that there is no room for anyone inferior in material gains to show self-respect, and react to it, and for hum it is so easy to degrade anyone who doesn't' fit into his idea of respect and status. It is a point of fear for his mother and Shinaya that he might face the consequences of for Divine Wrath. But for time being, he hasn't realized and feel guilty. 

Let's wait how thing will turn our in the coming episodes. The self-realization and the respect for human beings in general is addressed, and how a person who has suffered, and get hurt from others without a crime is actually punished , not just in hereafter but in this mortal world as well. So, how one should be refrained from hurting and giving pain to others is one aspect of the paly, and how pride always has a fall, and how it will affect the people in different ways is the leading question that needs to be answered, and what we will see. The execution of such a sensitive subject must be seen with a clear focus for sure. A must watch drama serial of the current times for all viewers for sure...!!

Annie and Parizaad Meetup - A Beautiful Turn in the Drama as Expected

Parizaad - A Dram and History

The Parizaad drama of Hum Television Network has created a new history of a popular drama in intellectual as well as in masses. The deal and tyranny of a below-average-looking man in this cruel world where everything matters in the outward charm, fair complexion, money, lifestyle, and social status. Here, an inwardly bitter but sweet gentle soul like Parizaad, who has now turned out to be P.Z. Mir is like an icon for many in the same family, social circle, and among the people. The ironic slap by the writer as to how we judge people based on outer appearances and the material scores and forget to see the beauty of hearing, mind, and soul is very wisely dealt with in the whole drama presented at Hum Network Television. 

The human dilemma of classification of people on the basis of color, beauty, class, financial status, race, religion, caste, nationality has never been out of the human psyche. We are as cruel as the characters in the Parizaad who judge his entire being on the basis of his outward appearance. He was a person whose name was prescribed by his mother as she loved him unconditionally. But the world mocked at him due to having a name of a beautiful being, and the personality vice versa. 

So, the gain of fame, name, and money by his dead master as inheritance, and now he is recognized and respected by everyone. But, inside there is still a humility, down-to-earth nature, and his loneliness. His childhood complexes of being lesser than normal beings are still there. So, the RJ Annie (Qurat al Ain). Parizad, used to be impressed by her chirpy talks and his confident nature to talk to him, and find every way to reach him. He is impressed as to how much she is impressed by his poetry, his thought process, and his ideas about life that people never bothered except Lubna, who turned out to a prostitute and unreachable. Her mother taught him the biggest lesson of life that if he has money and status then the world will simply ignore his looks, complexion, and his overall flaws in personality. It happened for real after years. 

When all of a sudden Annie asked him that she wanted to make a sculpture of him on phone. He is outraged and feels being humiliated again after so much time. Now, with the power and confidence that money has given him. He is outspoken enough not to forgive her, and to be silent but instead shouted at her and asked her to never connect with him again. But, she dared to be in his office the very next morning, and he was first amazed at her confidence, and then rudely asked her to be out of his office. Saying all that misery of being ugly to her, and she was heartbroken. Tried to leave the office, and then it was revealed that she is blind. Oh, what a revelation and what a pang of guilt he got into. 

It was an amazing episode where he must we can recall his university fellow Lubna, who is now an ace actress "Mahpara" that she monologued that she wanted to spear the eyes of those who just see Parizaad from his outer self, and don't look at his inner beauty. That's what is the reality now that a girl, who is blind and doesn't know him or can see how he looks has fallen in love with his wisdom, words, intellect, and his beauty of the soul. How he would complement and react to her true feelings is something that is worth looking for in the comping episodes. Yumna Zaidi has again won audience hearts with her cute, fragile, and outclass performance. Ahmad Ali Akbar as Parizaad has already made a mark in the history of Pakistani drama and showbiz with his awesome acting. So, watching the whole drama, Parizaad 

Parizaad - A Drama which has Created a New History of Intellectual Media Presentation!

Parizaad - A Blockbuster Serial of Hum TV

It is really very exciting to watch something from Pakistani showbiz and media that carries intellect, wisdom, and a way to compare to the international standards. Here it goes all well with "Parizaad". A presentation of HUM TV Network that is worth watching, talking and recommending so easily to others. I was a novel that was highly praised by readers of modern Urdu Fiction. A very well-written novel by a famous novelist named Hashim Nadeem Syed. He is a heartthrob among television audience with many blockbuster serials that have been aired from different channels over a person of two years. 

The important thing is the captivating script, the heart-touching dialogues, and bitter but true reality that goes all well, and the audience from different backgrounds and experiences can relate with either one character or other, and with the wisdom quotes that are spread in every episode of this famous drama serial. The writer had done a tremendous job, and we cannot ignore the depth that the director of the play has taken and his hard work must not be ignored. 

How can one talk about Parizad and forget about an otherwise not so famous actor Ahmad Ali Akbar. Wow, what a brilliant performance, and how much he has compromised on his looks, body language and tones, to be in the character of Parizad. A person who is disowned by family, society, and literally everyone except his ever-loving sister for being dark, not good looking as per social and cultural and so-called beauty expert's standards. How he faced humiliations everywhere, and no body bothered to look at his inner beauty, his pure soul and his incomparable values, ethics and sacrifices all through life. 

There are so many great actors who have contributed to the success of this great drama like Noman Ijaj, a veteran and brilliant performer. Ushna Shah, who is all time playful and take twists as per her whims and wishes. The Urwa Hussain, who played the role of Behroze Karim's beloved but unfaithful wife. The Mashal Khan, Lubna, a university fellow, a prostitute and then an actress at later times. Saboor Ali, who played the role of a Bubbly Badmash, and done entire justice to her otherwise quite twisted role. Then the powerful performer of the decade, Yumna Zaidi, who has introduced as Annie, and she has an edge of stealing the entire show in any serial where she is present like the currently running one "IshqeLaa". 

But we have read the novel, and try to find out how the director ends the play on screen. As we have seen how a bad direction has ruined another great story by Umera Ahmad with "Hum Kahan Ke Sachy Thy". The storyline was great, dialogues, acting by Mahira Khan, and Kubra Khan is brilliant. But the flawed direction has made it a miserable flop, though it worked great in the start. So, the world of Pakistan drama industry will always highlight Parizad, and Ahmad Ali Akbar, who has proved himself as a performer up to world-class level for sure...
