then the guy who played nadia's husband was very good....he suited it dont know what his name is.......
[/QUOTE]
he was the same shy guy from the episode Dabbu, the reporter. Marvelous the way he contradicted his personality for this episode.
Yeah I agree. It took me some time believe that it was the same guy:eek:
Man, I'm taping all of the episodes and the them music including the one aired during advertisement.
Last time I wasn't able to tape Behlawa and I'm still searching websites that might have it on sale. Dramas like these deserve to be watched over and over again.
just to clear up any confusion, what day will Kahaniyan come on from here on out? is it wednesday or saturday? i'm in the usa.
thanks!!

I would say dont tape them; coz watching them over and over again...means in ka dekhnay ka mazaa khatam ho jata hai....
u can get the music of behlawa...the title song which soooo beautiful from muziq pakistan
who saw this? pretty powerful episode...true story na?
watching Yasir Nawaz speaking in Pathan accent was really hilarious. I have to admit he's got my respect. The actor didn't excell to his full potential before this, or maybe he wasn't given the opertunity. But he's doing an amazing job in every episode in Kahaniyan.
Mahreen Jabar's (director) small guest appearence was fun too. For anyone who doesn't know she played Sania's friend in this episode (45 Minutes), she was sitting next to her.
Since it was based on a true story, that y the ending packed a little surprise for me. Otherwise I was thinking the buss would blow up.
the ending would've been more powerful had the buss been blown up.
And I doubt that was Mahreen Jabar with Sania. A look alike probably. If it was her, her name would've been in the credits.
did anyone see marhoom colonel sahib ki batiyaan?
weird but interesting na?
Tradition, obligation, and duty rule the lives of Constantia and Josephine in Katherine Mansfield's The Daughters of the Late Colonel. From their childhood, these women lived out a strict ritual, and when their father, an important part of that ritual, passes away, the women have to find a new course for their lives.
After their father's death, Constantia and Josephine don't focus on their own feelings, but instead follow the rituals governing the mourning process. While in bed, Constantia asks if they should have their "dressing-gowns dyed as well"(2410). The women don't want to do anything improper, forgetting about their own feelings while attending to the business of death; giving out their father's possessions to the worthy, writing thank you notes for sympathy letters, and worrying about the proper degree at which to mourn. Josephine "had broken down and had to use her handkerchief" to keep tears off the pages while writing the twenty-three thank you notes. The ritualistic notes take precedence over her feelings, and she has to work to suppress emotion while work remains undone.
Ritual, rank, and status all are important factors in the Colonel's household. His daughters live by rules as if they were in the military, for instance "*t had been a rule for years never to disturb father in the morning"(2414). The women don't just live by courtesy or understanding, but by an established set of rules. When Cyril came to visit his grandfather, he is described as "most unmanlike in appetite"(2417). This character does not do what is expected of him, and when Constantia and Josephine ask for some piece of news about his father, Cyril lies, telling them "Father's most frightfully keen on meringues"(2418). This false news relieves the stress of silence, which the women were dutifully trying to avoid. When they hear this insignificant information, "Josephine went scarlet with pleasure...Con gave a deep, deep sigh"(2418). While the Colonel is alive, these girls live by his rules and the standards established by society.
After the Colonel's death, Constantia and Josephine begin to experiment with freedom from the restrictions imposed on them throughout their lives. Instead of paying the organ-grinder to leave as they had for their father previously, the women "forgot to be practical and sensible", allowing the music to continue (2421). Without a governing Colonel, they can experiment with freedom, but the women have only known a life of rules and rituals. The story ends with awkward silence, neither Constantia nor Josephine knows how to fully express themselves, only beginning important sentences with the phrases "don't you think perhaps..." and "I was wondering if now..." (2423). Unable to fully express new inappropriate emotions because they find some enjoyment in a life free from their father's rules, the women live in an awkward silence, neither one willing to break down the barrier of decency and civility.
I saw it, was awesome..and weird at the same time
Great acting though :k:
I only started watching cuz I saw read this thread a while back 
today’s episode about hijras, dunno the name of it.
Yasir Nawaz, all hands down to you, man. What a brilliant actor you are.
Man, this guy was simply marvelous in his semi-hijra role. His body language and perfect delivery of dialogues…simply:k:
The episode it self was powerful. Tackling a subject like this, the roles of hijras and thier lives in the society and then executing it with perfection in a 45 min long episode, is not every tom, dick and harry’s job if you ask me.
man, superb episode. From the promos i been looking forward to it and knew it'd be awesome. And like I said above Yasir is a great actor, that SOB earned my respect some two or three episodes back. His performence this time around was just icing on cake.
And I believe that big brother hijra was the guy who played violent Zulfi in Zubaida, Marry and Seprenta episode. He's a fine actor as well and we shouldn't over look his performence.
Sania this time around seemed a little artificial. Though, Humanyun was good. Speaking of whom, I wonder how would Humanyun had played Yasir's role as a guy under two hijras influence, had he been given that oppertunity.
I doubt he'd be able to pull something even close to what Yasir did. What do you think?
I dunno the name either…but acting by yasir was absolutly superb! i dont think hamyun could have done it better, i felt sorry for the guy! the gal he fancied refused him! his work collegues took the mick
a good episode

totally agree a good episode, yeah the guy named shamim was that same guy who beat up his wife in the other episode....he is soo talented! dont know what his real name is....he has played the intelligent looking journalist, hijra role, and a violent husband......a very good actor
so far i think yasir, and sania, nadia,and the other guy mentioned above have played their roles well....hamayun is jus the usual .......
looking forward for the next one!
I saw the last episode…it was great! Brilliant acting by Yasir Nawaz.:k:
I agree, these type of drama’s should be shown more oftenly on PTV.

just because we have this picture of Yasir in that role, we think that no other actor beside him could tackle that role. But it doesn't mean Humanyun wouldn't be able to pull it off. 'cuz remember he did imitate Rasheed (Yasir) in one scene to goof around with his collegues and he seemed good.
Hamayun's role was so hateable in the episode....
