I was wondering if Farhat Ishtiaq’s novel Bin Roye Ansoo has been dramatized yet. It’s a really heart touching story and I loved it so much. If it has not been turned into a drama serial yet then it should be! And Mehreen Jabbar should direct it.. Anyone else would totally ruin it.
I also like Mataa e Jaan Hai Tu by Farhat Ishtiaq. Her novels are so romantic, although a bit tragic. But very heart touching.
Oh really?I don't have her on FB and I wouldn't even know how to find her. I am sure there must be tonnes of Mehreens on facebook:) I can already imagine who should be who in the play:D
Mataa'e Jaan was just beautiful, Ebaad and Hanniya were too good to be played by any of current actors in my opinion :(
You are so right. It's just such a beautiful and touching story. Very, very moving. There are very few people who can do justice to this beautiful story.
Yeah, just read it on her facebook page. Please remember that she is making it on my suggestion:D Seriously! I will attempt a summary later on. am just afraid that I would end up ruining the story and will kill the suspense.
Okay I copy/pasted the following summary from Kitaab Ghar.
Mata-e-Jaan Hai Tu is a beautifully written Social Romantic Urdu Novel by today’s top most famous women writer Farhat Ishtiaq. Its a love story of a young couple studying Engineering in Columbia Univeristy, USA. The boy has pakistani background with NED Degree from Karachi Pakistan and loves his country (Pakistan), while the girl is USA born with family background of 3 generations in America and she has no interest in the land of his grandparents (Pakistan). The story takes turn when girl decides to leave America for Pakistan and joins her relatives to settle in Pakistan. Why she left USA and for whom? Her Relatives ? or Her Love? Read this novel to find out.
Did that help? And for those who want to read the novel before watching the serial, here’s the link again:
Mehreen wrote on her FB wall that the shoot of Mata e Jaan hai Tu starts in 3 weeks time. But I am very disappointed to learn that she has cast Sarwat Gillani as Haniya.
Thank god she didn't cast Humayun Saeed in this play. Fawad Khan plays Ebaad's role, that's some compensation:)
oOh wow...the story is something new compared to most of what we are seeing in dramas nowadays...and with fawad khan in cast, can't wait...thanks for sharing the story
I have to say that Mehreen is a talented person but she seriously needs to work on the selection of cast. Who would choose Sarwat for Haniya? I loved the novel and I don’t like Sarwat Gillani at all. So ticked off.
i really hope they make a drama on bin royye aanso .. my fav novel!! ... but honestly, Irteza's character was just so perfect, so pure ... I cant think of anyone doing his character perfectly ... or portaying him exactly the same way he was!!
