Sooooo it looks like last night was our last episode of Mawra 😭 but the Djinn WILL be back for more relationship drama 👀
My prediction? By next episode, Mawra is suspiciously absent, and we find out that Nandor used one of his new wishes to un-alive her (HE BETTER FUCKING NOT) or free her to go have her own life, because being married wasn’t what he wanted.
Then the Djinn shows up in “Freddie” right before or right after Nandor wishes he never met Guillermo (leading to the “everyone dies” Twitter account description). He’s like, “wow Nandor, you fucked up big time” and hopefully pulls a final wish out of nowhere that will bring everyone back together again.

Hey Mais so I'm curious to know what the public perception on the hocane sisters is like (I'm new to Pak dramas). I previously saw a lot of twts/videos trolling them but I don't get why they were being trolled in the first place? Did something specific happen? However recently videos of Marwa and urwa discussing marital rape, messaging via dramas etc making the rounds on twitter. Suddenly everyone is praising them. Goes to show how fickle people are I guess. Also off topic was Farhan popular pre mere humsafar?
well yeah people are fickle especially when it comes to how they treat celebrities. the Hocane sisters started in the industry when they were still teenagers if I am not wrong? and they just did some things which people deemed troll worthy (starting from changing their spellings from Hussain to Hocane). more than Urwa, Mawra was trolled because of the tweets she made back when she was young. the girl was an unabashed Ranbir Kapoor fangirl and used to advocate for the Pak-India peaceful relationships which people thought was just her trying to keep her career in Bollywood going. so yeah..nothing astounding. the usual thing that happens to most celebs that dare to be themselves on social media. and if i am not wrong I think Mawra was the first (?) social media savvy person? like i remember her her flaunting her insta followers in a time when not everyone was on the app or if they were, didn't have the kind of following. so that also added to the trolling that Mawra relied on her social media presence to bag projects more than her acting abilities. Urwa has generally been less trolled than her sister.
yes, Farhan has been popular before Mere Humsafar both as a singer and as an actor.

Movie Review | White Slaves of Chinatown (Mawra, 1964)
This is the first of the Olga movies, and offers the same things as the others. Namely, a nice looking lady being mean to other nice looking ladies. But not just regular mean. Hot mean, mostly through bondage and things of that nature. Anyway, before any of you start hooting and hollering, I should specify that this movie is spicy enough for you to have to sign in to watch it in YouTube but not so spicy that it can’t be on YouTube altogether. There are on the rougher end of the spectrum of ‘60s sexploitation, although aside from a bit involving fingers, none of the torture here should leave you terribly frazzled, unless you find Bettie Page pinups to be traumatizing. As the main (and mean) nice looking lady you have Audrey Campbell, and as the other nice looking ladies, you have a group of actresses who look to be in some of director Joseph P. Mawra’s other movies. I recognized Gigi Darlene, best known for her movies with Doris Wishman.
What distinguishes this one from the others can be inferred from the title, but while it leans into stereotypes of Chinatown being a sinister and seedy place, it’s much less hideously racist than you’d expect from the title. Also you get to see Gigi Darlene in a cheongsam, so there are pluses to the angle the movie takes. I understand all of these movies were shot at least in part in Chinatown, but from my memory, this is the only one set there diegetically. The other distinguishing element is a heavier emphasis on the perils of drugs. Not just opium and heroin, but the devil’s lettuce. The wacky tobacky. Mari-hoo-wana. Horrifying stuff.
Anyway, as with the other movies, this one is quite enjoyable thanks to Campbell in the lead role. There are limitations to her performance thanks to the heavy use of narration (which apparently was used to piece a story together after the fact as the movie was shot without one nailed down, and weighs this down a bit more heavily than the subsequent entries), but Campbell, aside from being strikingly beautiful, has a certain poise that helps add a touch of elegance to her dominatrix-type role. And like with the others, this has a good amount of style for throwaway product made pretty quickly and cheaply. It’s probably true that some of that is from being shot on film, a quality which makes disposable movies of yesteryear better looking than the disposable movies of today, but there is some beautiful chiaroscuro lighting, and Mawra knows how to capture the distinct presence of his different cast members in visually striking ways. Apparently he was learning how to make movies on the go and using them to experiment, and the results definitely show.
Anyway, if you wanna learn more about Mawra’s career, the Rialto Report as always has a great interview with the man.

no like genuinely someone talk to me about this. the story is amazing, the actors were perfect for their roles, and the more you rewatch it, the more nuances you find. it's focused on exactly the right things, and gives just enough time for other stuff(like inder with his dad and kaveri and her relationship with sanjay and how she treated saru) so you know enough to understand and like have an opinion on, but it doesnt take away from the main story. the character development is extraordinary, we see how inder changes himself(now that i think about it, probably subconsciously) so he can be a guy thats deserving of saru, and we see how saru eventually starts to be a bit more bold, and advocate for herself rather than just follow whatever shes told or whatever happens. i dont like the whole makeover thing, she was also gorgeous before(but i understand that its pretty much a staple at this point, across different cinemas). i genuinely do not understand why no one knows about this movie.
