Internet in stitches over Danish Taimoor in 'Sher'
Spoiler Alert! The internet is having yet another field day with a Danish Taimoor drama. No, it is not him handcuffing himself to a woman like he did in Mann Mast Malang but it is his portrayal of mental illness in the latest episode of Sher that took things to a whole new level. Let's rewind: Fajar was supposed to marry Sher's younger brother. She bailed. Drama ensued. Sher got shot, or well, his aunt did. And now? Sher is in a full-blown mental health crisis and has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Last night's episode featured a scene so unintentionally hilarious that it hijacked TikTok and sparked a thousand memes. In this now-viral clip, Sher sits slumped on the floor of his room, surrounded by a wall of scribbles. Among the chaotic scrawls are phrases like "Shut up, I am sad", "Kill me", and bizarrely, "Corona Virus" written in Urdu. For reasons best left to the production team's imagination, the psych ward room is also decorated with stock photo-style framed diagrams of brains presumably to remind every patient that yes, they are indeed crazy. Very subtle, very sensitive, very — not how psychiatric care works. Perhaps the most bizarre and frankly unsettling aspect of this entire arc is that Sher Zaman is shown shackled to his hospital bed as if he were a high-risk prisoner rather than a patient in professional care. It's a jarring image, one that evokes more of a prison drama than a medical facility. One user on TikTok commented, "Me as a little kid in my bedroom after being yelled at by my parents." Relatable! Another user said, "How I feel trying to explain something logical to my desi coworkers." We've all been there! Yet another follower added, "It literally said coronavirus." We really wonder why? One particular comment that stood out read, "'Shut up I am sad' — I'm going to use this everywhere now." So are we! While the memes are undoubtedly hilarious and the virality is free promo, this scene does raise an important question: when will our dramas start treating mental health with the nuance it deserves? Is this our understanding of treatment? The regression from something layered like Main Abdul Qadir Hoon, a well-thought out and executed drama that explored mental health and personal growth to Sher's wall-of-doodles is disappointing. It's high time big production houses, veteran writers, and star actors collaborate to depict mental health with dignity.

Pakistani Film Sher Accused Of Plagiarising Scenes From Deepika-Ranveer's Ram Leela
Last Updated: The teaser of Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, is accused of copying scenes from Bollywood's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. The new teaser of the Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, has courted controversy online. Viewers are accusing the creators of ripping off scenes from the hit Bollywood film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Just days after its release, the teaser has been accused of looking eerily similar to a famous moment from the 2013 Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. In that scene, Deepika and Ranveer, playing lovers from rival families, face off while aiming guns at each other. In Sher, Danish is seen holding a gun, and Sarah, dressed in a traditional ghagra choli, stands her ground with a weapon of her own. The tense, charged standoff has fans pointing out the obvious parallels to that iconic Ram Leela moment. Take a look at some reactions here: Acha Ramleela ka sasti version bhi aa gaya pak mein😂 — Debasish Singh (@cricdebasish) April 29, 2025 This isn't even Ramleela. This is Badlapur leikin bohot zyada sastay main. — Koko (@brerkhargosh) April 29, 2025 The makers of Sher have not yet responded to the plagiarism claims, and the lead actors, Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, have also stayed silent on the matter so far. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of two warring families, the Rajadis and Saneras, in a fictional Indian town. Ranveer Singh plays Ram, a carefree charmer from one clan, while Deepika Padukone's Leela is the fierce and fiery daughter of the rival family. Their intense romance blooms despite their families' hatred, but as love clashes with loyalty and blood ties, tragedy takes center stage. The film released in November 2013. It also starred Richa Chadda, Supriya Pathak, Gulshan Devaiah, Sharad Kelkar, Raza Murad and others. First Published:

Why Mann Mast Malang is emerging as a big Pakistani hit drama?
Mann Mast Malang, airing now on GEO TV, is fast becoming the latest obsession for Pakistani drama fans. At the center of its growing appeal is the dynamic pairing of Danish Taimoor and Sahar Hashmi. Their portrayal of Kabir Khan and Riya brings an intense romantic tension that feels both fresh and familiar, drawing viewers in with each episode. For Hashmi, a relative newcomer, this role could well be a breakout moment. Directed by Ali Faizan, the drama leans on a robust supporting cast — including veterans like Saba Hameed, Nayar Ejaz, Kamran Jilani, Uzma Hassan, Adnan Samad, and Hiba Ali Khan — who add emotional weight to the story's twists and turns. Mann Mast Malang doesn't rely on performances alone. Its original soundtrack, performed by Khalid Khan and Saba Butt and composed by Yasir Ali, has also struck a chord with audiences. The haunting score amplifies the drama's themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. Produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi, Mann Mast Malang is benefiting from a classic formula: relatable characters, a blend of romance and conflict, and a production that knows how to keep the tension simmering. Early signs suggest that this drama could become one of Geo TV's standout hits this season.

On Tuesday afternoon, a group of terrorists openly fired on tourists and locals in Kashmir's Pahalgam at Baiasaran, leaving 26 killed and several injured. As per reports, only men were killed by these terrorists. Soon after the attack, the government and security agencies have been taking the right measures to ensure justice is meted out to the victims.
