Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun - Episode 3

Before we venture into episode 3, how many of you saw this...?

Oh PEMRA, PEMRA, PEMRA...best of luck with that. 

Now, let's get back to 10 reasons to watch Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun episode 3.

Reason 1: The immediate and absolute way Huriya exits Danial's life. Like quicker than you can say alvida, she's gone...like gone with the wind (haha).

Reason 2: Gone with the wind, but apparently stopped to write Danial a bye-bye letter. So reason 2 is good old fashioned snail mail that Danial can leave lying around or pressed in a book and can later be found by another character to create unnecessary - but necessary - drama in the drama. 

Reason 3: We find out Huriya is a school teacher...odd cos Danial said woh raath tak dair tak online rehti hei, tu how does she wake up for school?

 

Reason 4: The entry of Aijaz Aslam as a single dad. Single dad, concerned teacher. Concerned single teacher. Gee, I wonder what will happen...

Reason 5: to see how it takes the moms two days to concoct the scheme for Aiza and Danial to marry, but takes them four months to actually broach the topic with Aiza. 

Reason 6: Danial's amazing convincing skills cos one scene later the marriage is already two days old and Dadi is convincing Danial to take Aiza on a honeymoon/vacation. Which brings us to...

Reason 7: So we can all wonder together are Aiza and Danial have a Hamza-Iqra marriage or a Hamza-Maya marriage...

Reason 7.2: To see Danial reading a book titled Rage on his 'honeymoon.' #FeelingConcerned 

Reason 8: Like the flashbacks, more smart choices being made by the production team to portray how Aiza has married Danial, but instead of treating him like Danial, she is treating him like his dead brother, Shoaib, in essence proving how she hasn't really managed to move on. Good acting on Noor Hasan's part too: subtle and effective expressions. 

Reason 9: Single dad is a doctor. Oh be still my beating heart! Huriya is totally winning the rebound competition!

Reason 10: When Aiza tries to pressure Danial about seeing a fertility doctor, Danial says, "...Humara bachay is leeaye nahi ho raha kion ke aap nahi chahteen." Oohhhh snap!

Bonus Reason: Single dad is a lady doctor. I won't lie - this is getting pretty good...

Until next episode...

Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun - Episode 2

Continuing with our series, I present: 10 reasons to watch Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun episode 2...

Reason 1: The dadi that insisted the nikah take place immediately and now thinks the dulhan's parents are being unreasonable by expecting no one to want to marry their widowed daughter. 

Reason 2: The mom who came up with the genius (#Sarcasm) and predictable solution - marry the widow off to the younger brother #PakistaniDramaLogic. 

Reason 3: This poor shmuck that's out on his date and doesn't even know what plans his mom and dadi are cooking up. 

Reason 4: How neatly mom and dadi corner the poor shmuck into acknowledging Aiza's situation and the best 'solution' for it.

Reason 5: The exact moment Danial proves what a shmuck he is by not speaking up about his girlfriend. #Disappointed yet #Predictable.

Reason 6: The moment Aiza breaks her silence and cries on Danial's shoulder. Some how it creates a bond, which is quite touching. Unfortunately, both families take it as a sign that only Danial can 'save' Aiza, and they renew the pressure on Danial to consider the relationship.

Reason 7: The self-sacrifice by the love of Danial's life. I must admit, this is probably the first time I've seen Sidra Batool in a drama and so far, she has impressed.

Reason 8: The cliched, yet mandatory hugging-your-deceased-husband's-shirt-and-crying scene...

Reason 9: The beautiful way the flashbacks have been woven into the story. Instead of watching the scenes, and then watching them again in flashbacks (Remember #MohabatSubhaKaSitaraHai? Yawn). The way Danial has a flashback about his bhabhi and Aiza's flashbacks, allow us to better understand the depth of their emotions and feel for their loss. Bravo drama makers. Good call on that.

Reason 10: A good OST that, so far, quite poignantly and melodiously has been woven into the scenes. It's not on repeat in my car, but it is catchy and easy on the ears.

Still on my watch list. On to episode 3...

Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun - Episode 1

As promised, I started watching Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun cos Sana Javed is just so cute and you can't get enough of her playing the injured party - wether it's the  mazloom roothi-dhooti lardki (Paiwand) or the kismat ki mari (Goya). However, since this drama has already concluded, and I'm going to try to get through it as quick as possible, I've decided to do the reviews a little differently.

So here we go...

10 reasons to watch episode 1 of Dil Ka Kya Rung Karun

Reason 1: THIS guy, lovingly known as the 'cardboard pilot' from Aasmanoo Pe Likha. If you can't figure out what that means, you'll have to spam N with requests to do a throwback review of that super hit Geo drama that (supposedly) broke all records of viewership in Pakistan. #Skeptical

Reason 2: The dulhan that is sneaking out on a date in her obtan ka gharara. Sure sweetheart, go ahead. It's not like anyone will notice your vomit-yellow gharara. #PakistaniDramaLogic - brides running around the Karachi streets and no one blinks an eye. #NaKatroPankhMeray #ChupkeSeBaharAajaaye #DoQadamDurThay

Reason 3: Noor Hassan's second attempt to give us a glimpse of him baring all on national TV.

Reason 4: The look on everyone's face when dulha-dulhan are busted on their date. 

Reason 5: Chichora-pan getting stopped in its tracks when this loser gets caught checking out a girl/skank by his girlfriend. #Sleezebag

Reason 6: Sana Javed decides to teach us how to wear 50 shades of brown. At the same time. 

Reason 7: An impromptu nikah forces the two samdhans to wear mehndi outfits on the nikah...

Reason 8: Cardboard pilot gives the fake-est laugh ever in response to suggestive jokes by Mr. Horrible Acting While Wearing White Pants. 

Reason 9: Sana Javed goes au natural and we learn that her always-perfect hair is just as kinky and wavy as our own. May the lord bless the inventor of the straightening iron! 

Reason 10: Touching flashbacks and some great portrayals of mourning by the characters that will tug on your heart strings.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to report episode 1 was well-paced and we are off to a good start. By all means, bring on episode 2!

The suggestion box is now open!

Hello wonderful reader! If you are new to the blog, welcome..If you are a dedicated reader, thank you for coming back. And, lastly, if you stalk our blog, we salute you in displaying such obvious good taste and appreciation for a great sense of humor!

If you've looked at the side bar in our blog - which you can't see if you are reading it on your phone (boooo Google!) - you might have noticed THIS nonsense going on...

Yup. Yours truly are only watching THREE dramas.

What. The. What. 

I know, right? 

SO to help resolve this obvious crisis, I am calling out to all readers to help suggest dramas you would like us to review...which we all know is just a nice way of saying, "Please suggest dramas we should do complete bezti of." You know, for the good of mankind. Obviously. 

As I see it, here are some possibilities...

Zahid Ahmed. Two women. Love triangle. Hum TV is airing the drama...I mean, total win-win here. This shouldn't even be a question...

Another love triangle, not that I feel ready to watch Faisal Quraishi hook up with a girl young enough to be his daughter, in a drama that is screaming dosari biwi story. However, since me and N already don't like some of the actors, that makes us biased, and we can be down right snarky - in the most hilarious way possible - when we are biased. So...(I've changed my mind about this one. I don't think inexplicable dislike of the actors is enough to keep me hooked to this drama anymore. I'm going to pass on this Shamsi)

Again - I love Adnan Siddiqui, but do I really want to watch a dinosaur romance a girl young enough to be his daughter? Ick. No. This drama made the list because someone who loved Alvida recommended this to me, and according to them Alvida is gonna take home every award Hum TV has to offer because of it's original storyline *gag*. Keeping that in mind, this drama may prove to have good potential...

I am NOT a fan of desi comedy dramas because usually the jokes seem forced or just not funny. But this drama caught my eye because the story seems interesting and it has Adnan Jaffer who stole my heart as Rizwan in Jackson Heights (ESPECIALLY when he kicked Jamshed's BUTT - cos Jamshed was a jerk and he totally didn't deserve a happy ending...*snigger snigger snort*). Quit goading me. Or I swear I will complete that Jamshed defending post... Maybe

I considered watching this drama when I saw the promos, but never got around to it. It seems like a total tear-jerker with the broken-home child involved. Unfortunately, Jibran Syed keeps doing one miserable project after another, so unless anyone has any comments else wise, this may just remain a pass...


Dramas on the current "must get onboard with" list:

I keep waiting to hear something - anything - about this drama from N, but I haven't heard a peep. So, it's either horrible or she stopped watching it and I'll be giving her spoilers before she catches up. Lol. Either way, I'm about to be brought up to speed real soon on this much hyped about drama. So stay posted! (He dies... He also dies... Wondering why he doesn't die... Those two should definitely die... She should've died instead of him... And I'm going to kill her myself really soon... There Update done...)

I feel absolutely no shame in admitting I'll watch this just for Sana Javed. Yup. No shame. Added bonus: all 19 episodes have aired, so no waiting for a new episode every week! Yes!

Surely there must be an Ahsan khan drama airing on some channel... That usually brings my blood to boiling level, and the venom flowing pretty quickly. 

Just look at him. Ugh 

And there you have it, the list of potentials and must-watches...To vote yay or nay, do drop us a line and leave a comment below!

Come on now...Don't leave us hanging...

Muqadas - Episode 21 **SPOILERS**

So - we all know who the kidnapper is now...let's have a round of applause for this remarkably evil smile.

...and pats on the back for guessing the culprit right. *personal achievement celebration*

Ahem. Now let's recap the main points from the latest episode...

Totally legit behavior. I would CALMLY have a seat and be able to discuss this situation too. #MehramDad #PakistaniDramaLogic

It's like it always is: start out strong and then slack off. I think by having Atir declare he is "in love" with Muqadas, the writers are opening the door to the ending where he confesses and she accepts his apology and they live happily ever after, especially since she's carrying his child and we all know how the thought of progeny can turn the biggest meathead into a pile of mush. Booo! Atir definitely has a bee up his bonnet about something. Let the guy have his revenge. Why do we need to turn him into Mr. Hero and justify his actions? For revenge, you:

1 - Pretended to fall in love with a girl 

2 - Married the girl

3 - Kidnapped the girl 

4 - Kept kidnapped girl drugged out of her mind <-- Actions start to go beyond justification

5 - Lootofied her izzat and now she's preggers <-- Not forgivable in the real world 

Meanwhile...

Aapi is married to THIS ass...

And finally, the last biggest development in this episode:

Kabir - with his heart in his eyes - comes to visit Muqadas and finds out about her dad being MIA. He has vowed to help find him.

If there's anyone I am rooting for, it's Kabir. It would be nice if the writers could get past their normal parameters and show a guy (Kabir) who helps out his former crush (Muqadas) out of the goodness of his heart - not so she can ditch her villainous husband (Atir) and get together with him instead. 

So - go ahead and raise your hand if you're waiting to see an Atir and Kabir show down too..

Until next time - here's to hoping you are having a wonderful Eid with your loved ones!
