    ‘Teri Chhaon Mein’ faces criticism over scene resembling ‘Tere Naam’

    Actor Danish Taimoor’s new drama ‘Teri Chhaon Mein’ has started airing on Hum TV. Written by Radain Shah and directed by Abdullah Badini. The cast includes Laiba Khurram, Tara Mehmood, Sohail Sameer, and Behroze Sabzwari. The story is about Salaar, an obsessed stalker who falls in love with Wadeema after seeing her on the roadside.


    A scene from the drama has gone viral on social media for its striking similarity to a scene from the Bollywood film ‘Tere Naam.’ In the scene, Salaar sees Wadeema for the first time on the road, chases her, and expresses his love. He also reacts strangely to Wadeema’s speech at the university, making her feel awkward. Yasir Hussain criticized this scene, posting it with the caption, “What’s happening man? Who is the director of the drama serial?”

    One social media user wrote, “Why didn’t Danish Taimoor read the script before signing it?” A fan commented, “Danish Taimoor should be ashamed for signing such scripts.”

  • Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby in ‘Peaky Blinders’ film


    Netflix movie based on the show. The film, also called Peaky Blinders, will be directed by Tom Harper and produced in partnership with BBC Films. Filming is set to start later this year, but the plot and additional cast members have not been announced yet.
    Murphy said, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me. … It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ This is one for the fans.”


    Tom Harper, who is directing the upcoming ‘Peaky Blinders’ film, said: “When I first directed ‘Peaky Blinders’ over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive. ‘Peaky’ has always been a story about family – and so it’s incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix.”
    Steven Knight, who produced the ‘Peaky Blinders’ television series, wrote the film’s script and is producing it alongside Guy Heeley, Cillian Murphy, and Caryn Mandabach.

    For the role he played of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the US physicist who designed the atomic bomb, Murphy received his first Oscar for Best Actor, closing a dazzling awards season that also saw him win a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and other honors.

    Enforcement actions have been carried out against administrators of showrooms and shopping malls in various areas including G-11 Markaz, F-10, F-11, G-8, G-9, I-8 Markaz, Blue Area, Jinnah Super Market, F-6 Super Market, Aabpara, and Bhara Kahu markets. Vehicles parked on footpaths have been removed, with warnings issued for compliance with regulations under the threat of strict enforcement measures.

    Suzuki eyes biogas plant in Karachi to strengthen its presence in Pakistan

    Suzuki Motor Corporation is poised to bolster its footprint in Pakistan with plans to establish a biogas plant in Karachi.

    This strategic move was articulated by Kenichi Ayukawa, the Global Vice President of Suzuki Motor Corporation, during a high-level meeting held in Islamabad on Thursday. The meeting convened Ayukawa and Rana Tanveer Hussain, the Federal Minister for Industries and Production.

    Hailing the delegation, Minister Hussain underscored the pivotal role of the automotive industry in Pakistan’s economic landscape. He highlighted its substantial contributions spanning employment generation, economic expansion, technology infusion, and industrial advancement.

    Notably, the government is steadfast in its commitment to fortifying the local automotive sector, extending tax exemptions and other inducements to automakers, and investing in research and development initiatives.

    Furthermore, to foster the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, incentives are being extended for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrids, encompassing duty-free import privileges for plant and machinery essential for establishing EV manufacturing facilities.

    This proactive stance has already yielded tangible results, with 43 companies securing manufacturing certificates for the local production of EV 2/3 wheelers.

    Suzuki’s envisaged biogas plant in Karachi aligns with the broader strategy to enhance sustainability and operational efficiency while contributing to the nation’s energy diversification efforts.

    This development signals a promising trajectory for Suzuki’s endeavors in Pakistan, reflecting a shared commitment to economic prosperity and environmental stewardship.

    Zard Patton Ka Bunn

    Kashf Foundation’s project’s latest episode focused on important conversations. Meenu discussed with her friend how educated mothers can raise better generations. She said, “Parh likh kar naslen banani hain (Atom bomb nahi). If my mother was educated, she would have brought up my brothers better so they wouldn’t stand in the way of my education.” We agree with Meenu.

    Gentleman


    Love-struck Rehmati and Iqbal Munna need to watch out! Seeing Iqbal Munna and Zarnab together was great, but is their love story moving too fast? Iqbal Munna’s crush on Zarnab was cute, but now Rehmati is also in love, making it complicated. Remember, Zarnab still loves Faris—for now! We’re unsure if Gentleman will focus more on Korangi’s drama or Zarnab’s love life, but Zarnab’s story seems stronger. Rehmati and Munna might have a chance as the plot thickens. Faris seems more focused on his job than Zarnab’s activism. Who will she choose?

    Pas e Deewar


    Pas e Deewar stands out with intense storytelling and fast-paced action. What happens next is anyone’s guess! Shabbir disappointed us by playing Ujala. The plot thickens as Maqbool sets up his sister, and we’re eager to see how Iftikhar reacts. The drama gets points for the scene where Ujala escapes Hamid’s advances—an intense and well-done moment. Hashim’s evil wrath contrasted with Shabbir’s calm, wicked planning is interesting to watch.

    Jaan e Jahan


    Oh, Jaan e Jahan! The emotions are real. Shehraam has Mahnoor’s heart and also the hearts of many viewers. He’s the hero and has finally reunited with his beloved Chooriyan. We hope the days are not far behind. The simple yet heartwarming elements of Mahnoor and Shehraam’s bond are pure love. Tabraiz, despite his evil plans, won our hearts—a tragic fate indeed. But the question remains: will Aliya and Abdul tie up their incomplete love story, or will it end in heartbreak? We’re eager to find out in the final episode.

    Farhaad, the pain of being an only son, we feel you! As Farhaad and Freeya grow apart, their journey must continue to find a resolution. Watching Farhaad’s regrets about a conversation he never had with his father was painful. Even more painful were his torn emotions between his mother, wife, and job; his mental struggle was clear and brought us to tears. Kiran’s silent battle must end in triumph. She now holds the key to her father’s restaurant, and we hope this realization empowers her. Stand up, Kiran; your family needs you. More importantly, other girls who might be in your situation are watching you. You need to help yourself first before others can help you. Speak up now, please.

    Terrorist threats on Adiala Jail; Interior Ministry tells SHC

    The Ministry of Interior has told the Sindh High Court that there are dangers of terrorist attacks on Adiala Jail, citing an intelligence report.

    The Ministry said this in a report it submitted to the court in the case regarding security measures being provided to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan in Adiala Jail.

    The report said that military installations in Rawalpindi are on terrorists’ target list.

    “The terrorism is a plan hatched by agencies of hostile countries and banned groups,” said the ministry claiming that hostile agencies and anti-Pakistan elements wanted to spread political chaos in the country.

    The Court directed authorities to beef up security protocols and arrangements for incarcerated Imran Khan and other prisoners in Adiala Jail.

    The Chief Justice stated, “Since there is a threat of attack from the outside, the federal government will have to look into this matter,” the court declared, adding that it had sought a report considering the seriousness of the matter.

  • 18 dead, more than 40 injured in Hub truck accident

    18 dead, more than 40 injured in Hub truck accident

    At least 18 Sindhi pilgrims were killed and more than 40 wounded after a truck carrying them to a shrine in Khuzdar fell into a ditch while taking a sharp turn.

    The unfortunate incident happened in Balochistan’s Hub district on Wednesday night when dozens of people from Sindh’s Thatha district were traveling to the shrine of Shah Noorani located nearly 300 kilometers from Balochistan’s provincial capital of Quetta.

    20 passengers with critical wounds were referred to Karachi after being administered initial medical care. They were visited by the Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.


    “All efforts will be made to provide the best medical facilities to the injured,” assured CM Sindh while talking to media.


    Abdul Waheed Baloch, Station House Officer (SHO) told the media that the truck driver was inexperienced and unfamiliar with the road leading to the shrine.

    “He was traveling to Balochistan for the first time and didn’t know the routes and curves leading to the shrine,” he said.

    The SHO added that the driver was speeding and jumped out of the truck to save his life. He has been arrested by the police.

  • Apple set to unveil new iPad Pro, iPad Air models in May

    Apple set to unveil new iPad Pro, iPad Air models in May

    Apple is preparing for a significant launch event, as reported by Mark Gurman in Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter. The tech giant is set to unveil its latest offerings, the new iPad Pro and iPad Air, during the week of May 6.

    The anticipated launch will introduce new models, including 11-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Pro versions, alongside a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air. Additionally, consumers can expect refreshed Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil accessories to accompany these devices.

    This announcement marks a notable event for Apple, as it’s been nearly eighteen months since the release of any new iPad hardware. The upcoming iPad Pros are expected to boast enhanced displays, transitioning from mini-LED to OLED panels similar to those found in iPhones.

    This upgrade promises deeper contrast and increased brightness. Alongside display improvements, there’s anticipation for a sleeker design, with a thinner chassis and a repositioned front camera to the landscape edge. These new models will be powered by the advanced M3 chip.

    However, consumers may need to prepare for potential price hikes, as hinted by Gurman’s newsletter. Currently, the 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $799, while the 12.9-inch model begins at $1099.

    For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the new 12.9-inch iPad Air aims to deliver a larger screen size without breaking the bank. Details regarding its processor, whether M2 or M3, remain unclear at this stage.

    Excitingly, the new accessories are expected to enhance the user experience further. Rumors suggest that the new Apple Pencil might include a new squeeze gesture feature, while the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is set to mimic a laptop with its aluminum base and larger trackpad.

    Although updates for the base model iPad and iPad mini are scheduled for later in the year, Gurman anticipates only minor improvements, primarily a processor upgrade for the iPad mini.
