  • Never watch this bollywood movie called Agyaat it is complete nonsense and in the end it’s not even revelead who the creature (or whatever is) and they are telling us to wait for second part which is never made till date.
    You can watch Khoobsurat (for actor Fawad Khan), it is a decent movie but don’t expect too much.
    Phantom has received very negative reviews in India and I haven’t watched it but who doesn’t love the Afghan jalebi and Saaware.
    I want to watch this Pakistani movie, Zindagi Kitni Haseena Hay, I love some of their dramas and this movie had awesome songs. I also love the couple from their other dramas.

  • Hi, is there any new Drama from Pakistan? Indonesian or Malaysia?

    • I don’t know if you have checked the full list recently or if you know about all of these, but I have Malaysian dramas that I found here:

      I haven’t thought of checking on Pakistan dramas. From what I can see, no Indonesian dramas, just movies are being added regularly.

      • Thank You So Much.
