A new Pakistani serial by Hum TV has aired three episodes since the first of Ramadan. Unfortunately, viewers have enjoyed none. Being the third project of Ameer Gilani and Dananeer Mobeen, “Very Filmy” does not seem too promising anymore. What was supposed to be a refreshing romantic comedy is now striking conversations online about how boring and terrible it is.

Very Filmy ‘s Storyline

In the show’s first episode, we see both Dania and Rohan refusing to entertain the thought of even looking at the Instagram profiles of their prospective rishta choices yet the drama seemed highly Gen Z type.

We see Rohan extremely upset over not wanting to marry in Pakistan especially not with a desi girl. He shares his distress with his younger brother, but he’s all about tricking Rohan into giving him money.

On the other hand, we see the story of Rania. She’s shown to be currently staying with her Grandma, who is a fan of music. Rania is curious to know why her parents have separated, and why her father moved to Canada alone.

very filmy

Netizens have now shared how they feel about the show, and it’s not satisfied with it. While most gave constructive criticism on the lack of originality and a poor script, others have just absolutely hated it.

very filmy netizens reactions

It seems the lack of originality has been the biggest concern for the viewers. Despite loving the Bollywood movies Very Filmy was inspired by, Pakistani viewers are clearly looking for something more original and comedic this Ramadan. Another concern prominent from reactions was the “over-acting.” Though fans loved the selected cast for this series! They looked like they were trying way too hard.

She’s grateful that she’ll finally heal now and has promised to work on more music, scripts, and ideas for her brands.

Wasim Akram ignited a firestorm with his comments recently about David Miller’s involvement with the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise Fortune Barishal. However, his claim of Miller postponing his wedding for a hefty paycheck was shot down by the BPL franchise.

The 2024 edition of BPL reached its climax, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Among the highlights was the stellar performance of David Miller, who led Fortune Barishal to their maiden BPL title.

Despite scoring just 47 runs, Miller left a lasting impression by smashing the winning runs in the final against Comilla Victorians, securing the championship for his team.

However, amidst the celebrations, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram stirred the pot with sensational claims regarding Miller’s involvement in the tournament.

Akram alleged that Miller had postponed his wedding to participate in the BPL, citing a lucrative offer of $150,000 for three matches.

“I just found out today because we were discussing who won the BPL as we were not following because of the PSL. David Miller was offered $150,000 to play three matches. He postponed his wedding [for BPL],” Akram said while talking to a local sports channel.

Fortune Barishal denies Wasim Akram’s claims

The revelation sent shockwaves through the cricketing world, but Fortune Barishal owner Mizanur Rahman swiftly refuted Akram’s claims.

Rahman clarified that Miller’s decision to stay with the team was driven by his emotional connection with his teammates, rather than financial gain. He vehemently denied the existence of any such offer and emphasized Miller’s commitment to the team’s success.

“No, these [information] are not true at all. These are absolutely untrue and are false info,” he said during an interview with a Bangladeshi newspaper.

“He stayed because of his emotion [the emotional bond that he had created with the Barishal team members], not just because of money. Was Wasim Akram with the team? I know how much he [Miller] got paid. So, these claims are not true,” he added.

“We can only dream of stadiums like Dharamsala,” Wasim Akram Brutally Trolls PCB

wasim-akram-trolls-pcb-dharamsala-stadium

Former captain Wasim Akram recently expressed his disappointment with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for its failure to enhance the country’s cricketing infrastructure.

Akram’s remarks came in response to a fan’s query regarding the absence of picturesque stadiums in Pakistan, comparable to India’s scenic HPCA stadium in Dharamsala, which gained attention during the recent India-England Test match.

The Dharamsala stadium, nestled amidst the majestic Dhauladhar mountain range in Himachal Pradesh, has earned recognition as one of the most visually stunning cricket venues worldwide. However, during a popular Pakistani sports show, Akram addressed concerns about Pakistan’s lack of such scenic stadiums.

When questioned about the reluctance of the PCB to construct new stadiums, Akram criticized the board’s inefficiency in maintaining existing facilities, let alone building new ones.

“We can’t even maintain three stadiums, (Baki kaha naya bana lenge) how could we make a new one?” says the former captain.

He emphasized that Pakistan struggles to upkeep its current stadiums, citing the dilapidated condition of Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium as an example.

“Have you seen the [condition of] roof of the Gaddafi Stadium that they were showing with the drone? We can’t even control the three [stadiums] we have.”

Akram highlighted the irony of dreaming about constructing stadiums akin to Dharamsala while failing to maintain existing infrastructure. He suggested Abbottabad as a potential location for a new stadium, given its scenic beauty and ample space.

We can only dream of making a new one. We have enough area to make a new stadium, though. Abbottabad is a very beautiful ground,” Wasim Akram concluded.

The cricketing legend’s remarks shed light on the pressing need for the PCB to prioritize the development and maintenance of cricket infrastructure across Pakistan.

Now and then, there comes a time when you need to repurpose one thing into another. But here’s one that will leave you thinking. In a video shared by Shubhanji Pandit on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, we see a pressure cooker, a common kitchen appliance, being used as an iron. That’s right… an iron. It seems perhaps the worst of times had come upon this poor lady, and this was her last resort to wear her clothes neatly pressed.

How to Repurpose a Pressure Cooker

In the particular video shared, we see this woman repurpose the pressure cooker and use the steam to smooth out any wrinkles. The woman heated the appliance till it began to whistle, indicating that it had reached its maximum level of steam. After that, she rushes with it into another room and she uses the hot cooker to promptly iron out her shirt.

She captions the post,
“Salutations to dear sister.”

Take a look at this absurd way to iron clothes:

Now, most people who came across this unique method of ironing clothes laughed it off. The rest began to point out the health hazards and dangers of this 5-minute craft.

In a strategic move set to shake up the digital world, Spotify, the renowned music streaming platform, has ventured into the niche of video streaming. This initiative, launched on Wednesday, marks a bold stride aimed at challenging the supremacy of YouTube in the video space.

Initially available to Premium users in select countries such as the U.K., Germany, and Brazil, Spotify’s video streaming feature is still in its beta phase. The platform’s foray into video content includes a curated selection of music videos featuring global sensations like Ed Sheeran and local favorites such as Asake.

With aspirations to reach a billion users by 2030, Spotify faces formidable competition from industry giants like Apple Music and YouTube, where users can access music videos free of charge.

Why Video?

Charlie Hellman, Spotify’s Vice President and Head of Music Products, shed light on the rationale behind this bold move. He emphasized the pivotal role that music videos play in transforming casual listeners into avid fans. By integrating video content seamlessly into its platform, Spotify aims to provide artists with a powerful tool to engage with their audience.

Hellman highlighted features like Canvas visuals, Clips, Artist Bios, Live Events, and Merchandise, which empower artists to forge deeper connections with their fan base. Notably, Canvas visuals have proven to be particularly effective in driving user engagement, with increased sharing and playlist additions.

How to Access Video Content on Spotify

For users in the selected markets, accessing music videos on Spotify is a straightforward process. Premium subscribers can toggle the “Switch to Video” option while listening to supported tracks on their iOS, Android, desktop, or TV devices. The music video seamlessly integrates into the Now Playing view, offering users a captivating visual experience.

Spotify has pledged to continuously enhance its video streaming feature based on user and artist feedback, promising to expand its video catalog and extend availability to more regions.

TikTok’s Future In The US Hangs In The Balance

In the middle of political turbulence, TikTok finds itself at a crossroads as the US House of Representatives passed a bill requiring ByteDance, its parent company, to divest or risk facing a nationwide ban. This move has sent warning through the tech world and left its 170 million US users wondering about the platform’s fate.

TikTok’s rapid rise since its inception in 2017 has been nothing short of phenomenal. However, concerns about data privacy and content censorship, stemming from its Chinese ownership, have plagued its journey. Despite TikTok’s assurances of data protection, allegations of mishandling user information persisted, intensifying the political scrutiny it faced.

Understanding the Bill

The bill passed by the House offers ByteDance a lifeline—a 165-day window to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese entity. Failure to comply would lead to a ban, barring the app from major app stores. Proponents argue that this isn’t a ban but a surgical intervention aimed at safeguarding national interests. However, TikTok contends that it amounts to a predetermined ban, questioning the feasibility of a sale within the stipulated time frame.

Enforcing a TikTok ban poses significant technical hurdles. While penalizing app stores is one avenue, curbing individual usage presents a formidable challenge. Methods akin to those used in restrictive regimes like China and Iran might be necessary, raising concerns about freedom of expression and civil liberties.

The Divided Support

The political landscape regarding TikTok’s fate is a mixed bag. While some Republican lawmakers advocate for a ban, others, including former President Trump, have reversed their stance. The Biden administration’s support for the bill underscores bipartisan concerns about national security and data privacy.

TikTok, along with civil rights advocates and some Senate Democrats, vehemently opposes the bill. They argue that while TikTok’s data practices may be flawed, an outright ban stifles free expression and sets a dangerous precedent for internet regulation. Their concerns echo broader worries about the erosion of digital freedoms.

What Lies Ahead?

The road ahead for TikTok remains uncertain. Even if the bill clears the Senate, legal challenges based on free speech grounds loom large. TikTok’s fate hangs in the balance as it navigates the intricate web of politics and policy.

As the debate unfolds, one thing is clear—TikTok stands at the nexus of technological innovation, geopolitical tensions, and individual rights. Its destiny will not only shape the future of social media but also redefine the boundaries of digital governance in an increasingly interconnected world.
