Promising to be a gripping thriller two episodes in, Serial Killer is a recent addition to Green Entertainment’s lineup. Written by Umera Ahmed and a presentation of Eyeconic Media, Serial Killer is set in Lahore and starts with the murder of a man at the hands of a woman whose identity is shrouded in mystery.

Around this time, Sarah Sikander (portrayed by Saba Qamar) assumes charge as a Superintendent of Police working for the Special Branch after recently returning to Pakistan following a stint in the United States as a Fulbright Scholar.

Enter another mysterious figure rolling a Delsey suitcase into an apartment building, drawing the attention of a handful of vendors around, who choose to do nothing but stare. The red Delsey reappears when a woman wearing a niqab gets off a rickshaw at a bus terminal with it and then leaves the suitcase in front of a tea stall before disappearing.

The scared tea-seller draws a policeman’s attention to the suitcase which then leads to a bomb disposal squad coming over and clearing the bag for not carrying any explosive material. The bag is then opened and a woman’s body is found in it. This case is ultimately assigned to SP Sarah who is meticulous and relentless when it comes to her commitment to the job that she takes as a sacred trust. SP Sarah is thorough with procedures and places value in handling forensics and preserving the sanctity of evidence. It wouldn’t be exaggeration to say that SP Sarah is an almost model police officer – one neither too green nor too jaded by the drudgery of the system.

Serial Killer Episode 1
Surrounded by staff who are used to thinking in stereotypes and tropes, Sarah has to shoulder the burden of pushing this hardened lot into taking evidence into consideration as opposed to relying on conjectures that are merely based on ‘what might have happened’ and that too based on social stereotypes alone.

Sarah thrives on evidence, running the dead girl’s fingerprints and the fingerprints on an airline baggage tag found inside the suitcase through the national identity database for clues.

A couple of other characters that could pique your interest may be the rickshaw driver who was present around the suitcase when it was being dragged into the apartment building as well as when the woman was travelling with the Delsey to the bus terminal. Who was this rickshaw driver? Does he have a connection to this murder? Then we have Imaan, a trans woman sitting terrified in her room upon seeing the news of the woman’s murder on television. She works at a beauty salon owned by one Babra (portrayed by Faiza Gillani) who ultimately gets to hear that a woman who frequented her parlour, Amna Tufail (portrayed by Sabeena Farooq), has been incommunicado, with Amna’s sister actively looking for her, and calling everywhere.

On the other hand, the police are on the hunt for the man who was driving the rickshaw that brought the mysterious woman to the bus terminal. They’re ultimately able to establish that the woman whose body was found in the suitcase was none other than Amna Tufail — who also went by the alias Zarish; Zarish, who was in fact a social media star with a million followers.

Serial Killer’s first two episodes do leave a couple of clues and crumbs for the Hercule Poirot or the Jessica Fletcher in you but do these actually lead anywhere or are they just red herrings?

All in all, Serial Killer promises a refreshing break from typical Pakistani dramas around family politics. At least so far, it does offer a riveting plot, a focus on investigation and forensics, and a glimpse into the lives of Pakistanis adapting to a society in transition. Can’t wait for episode 3!

Get ready for some light humour this Ramazan with HUM TV's Ramazan special Paristan.

The romantic comedy has been directed by Ali Hassan.

Javeria Saud told Images, "This is a Ramazan drama, a romantic comedy and my character is a Punjabi woman. Navin [Waqar] is also starring in the drama, her character lives in a fictional world and the plot will revolve around issues of women getting married off — I want my daughter to marry off in a good family and hope my niece gets married somehow. I just want to get everyone married in this drama."

The drama's cast is packed with established actors and new talent — it includes Saud, Aymen Saleem, Arslan Naseer, Merub Ali, Junaid Jamshaid Niazi, Navin Waqar, Mira Sethi and Ali Safina.

Saud added that it will air in Ramazan, "like the previous specials on Hum TV have — for 30 days." She revealed that it is named Paristan "and the main heroine is called Pari."

Sinf-e-Aahan actor Ali had also posted a photo with costar Jamshaid and hinted at an upcoming show recently.

Ramazan entertainment shows are usually well received in Pakistan — Aamir Liaqat's transmissions attract massive crowds. But not everyone is happy about Ramazan transmissions — model Saheefa Jabbar Khattak protested against Ramazan transmissions on social media last year, saying, "They seem hellbent on ridiculing and insulting human beings in the name of entertainment and profit." She pointed out that such programmes were especially not okay during a raging pandemic that requires social distancing.

This drama looks to be something different from the usual Ramazan entertainment fare — something will appreciate, we're sure.

Actor Aymen Saleem embarked on a joyous and momentous journey on December 22 as she tied the knot with Kamran Malik in a nikkah ceremony in Karachi.

Aymen, celebrated for her debut role as Ramisha in the drama Chupke Chupke, shared news of the momentous occasion on social media, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

In an Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude, saying, “Here’s to my forever… Alhamdulillah.”

The daughter of former Pakistani cricketer Saleem Yousuf, Aymen initially pursued a career in finance, working at an investment bank. However, her breakthrough performance in Chupke Chupke propelled her into the limelight, earning her a Best Emerging Talent in TV award in 2022.

She shared the screen with industry stalwarts like Ayeza Khan, Osman Khalid Butt, and Arslan Naseer.

Aymen chose an exquisite pastel outfit by Shehla Chatoor — spotted by ReynaSays on Instagram — adorned with intricate embroidery and traditional jewellery for her special day.

Her makeup, flawlessly executed by Sara Salon and Spa, featured soft hues and a pink lip, complementing her attire seamlessly. The groom looked dashing in traditional attire.

The decor for the event was simple and elegant, done by Parfaire Events.

It featured lots of white and blush flowers and was a daytime nikkah.
