Good place to start my #KRQ thread Lets start by saying My thoughts are not a hot take , Ive been writing about Pakistani dramas for a good time ,since 2012/2013 as blogger/ critic & I know my subject , In fact 1st big interview was in partnership with Sadaf Siddiqui ..
as freelancers & which credit to him #Khalilurehmanqammar generously agreed to This was post #PyarayAfzal Which had got both of us Sadafs & public just crazy about #Hamzaliabbasi( actor not political activist)& KRQ dialogues & male centric dramas sans Usual Toxic drama “hero”
It helped that I hadnt watched Landa bazaar so it didn’t seem repetitive,We all sat spellbound thru reams of circular speechifying from Molvi Subhanullah etc & like most of the public wept my eyes out Over Afzals death . In the interview , KRQ didnt sound
As completely Misogynist as now rather self-centered vain & V OLD fashioned & with broken heart , promoting #Sadqaytumharay which he said was 💯 truly his life story His take was that society ran on the strength of ‘good women ‘Men werent worth/ Couldnt be corrected , he railed
Against female writers villifying men dawn.com/news/1142909
Now the recent interview with naive embarrassed young girl ( not putting her down , Ive been overwhelmed myself at times )too polite to Question him than a thoughtful woman or Man who would dissect his sadly shallow assertions & circular well rehearsed dialogues that sound
Wise But honestly are valueless & meaningless on close inspection He gets away with it because Urdu is such a beautiful lyrical language it makes anything sound amazing Aurat yeh karti hai ..Mard vo karta hai , r like the Nonsensical pronouncements my Science & ethics
Teachers warned against as Fallacy of false cause i.e taking anecdotal evidence to build a case for entire populations as in I eat cereal everyday, the one day I missed it an Earthquake happened Ergo Eating cereal stops earthquakes
Now his amazing success as Scriptwriter is down to these dialogues bcoz the Pakistani ( like me ) public doesn’t read much Urdu esp cinema goers coz Tickets r expensive its a certain English medium class plus we all ❤️easily digestible junk that can flatter our prejudices
Also The big #Pakistan film producers prefer KRQ because Something new & audacious wont fit #Humayunsaeed style of acting& Other talented actors are ‘resting’ while others dont get a chance BUT credit to Humayun whatever my complaints He has guts & talent to create & succeed
So KRQ misogyny has been more & more obv since #Zarayaadkar which quelle surprise public loved ,#Tummerepassho was recently accused of Plagiarism by Indian writer but This story is Typical rehash of so many OLD serials like #Merekhawabrezareza. ( much better serial) & even
Classic Anch , Greedy dissatisfactiied woman leaves doting husband for rich friend , is punished returns is punished again . Repitive , predictable trope KRQ & other writers use on seasonal basis Wont deny KRQ is good at wrapping a turd in Silk & earning money but real credit
Is due to Great director #NadeemBaig for polishing it into thriller But my Take is all this Sensational comments , interviews are ( to borrow a term from an old Writer friend )a next level game & yes its speculation but lets just say its informed speculation Ask dear reader why
#Humayunsaeed would pit two of his years biggest productions against each other on a Saturday with such a media blitz for #Tummerepassho & nothing for a fantastic project like #Alif ? Obv Alif is better so weak child ko support ? Yes, but Alif might also be a swan song for
#HamzaAliAbbasi who I have a feeling Humayun wishes to prove a point to How funny it would be if A dabba bag of old tricks like Mere Pass Tum Ho actually surpassed an excellent drama like Alif ? How about if Uncle but still hot Humayun one upped the our fresh Bonafida STAR Hamza
How about Humayun got an award for Danish ? What a Coup ? The media blitz around MPTH looks like its working KRQ’s misogyny is being used to attract attention. No Uncle Khalil Wearing shorts isnt the main aim of Feminism, its actually to stop women being tortured , mutailated
Murdered & oppressed for wanting the same rights men take for granted meanwhile KRQ has an item number in his film #kaafkangna because its ok to use women’s bodies surrounded by leering drunk men if it sells movie tockets but the imaginary women in KRQ’s head demanding to wear
Shorts are the real evil
Anyway those are my thoughts
A plea to Humayun & other producers give KRQ a Xanax remind him that in Any society incendiary dialogues can lead to fatal actions , dont use them to promote a drama that will be forgotten like junk food but may hurt

Vulnerable women
A final plea to #PakistaniProducers please make better movies Send KRQ on a holiday Cannot deny his talent but his moral compass is skewed , History is littered with nasty men who were good with words
