Can you please give a short summary / plot of these books?

Belli Raajputan ki mallika by Nemra Ahmad:

This one is set in 1939 in a village named Belli Raajputan..The story is about a British Princess Maya Fernandes who is married to a Hindu maharaja. The maharaja is killed and Maya suspects something suspicious and she thinks that Maharaja was murdered.There is also qabristan ka bhoot which has terrified the whole village. The story is full of suspense and mystery.

Parizaad by Hashim Nadeem:

Its the story of a guy named Parizaad..who is just opposite of his name (Lookwise). The story is about his struggles in life and how his face (which he is not so proud of) takes him places and the attitude of the people towards him changes. Basically, its the story of Parizaad and his different phases of life.

Shab-e-Aarzoo ka aalam:

Its the story of two individuals. The girl is an orphan who lives with her siblings in her grand parents house. Due to certain circumstances in her life, she matured earlier than other girls in her life. She is type of girl whom you can classify as buddhi aatma 😆. The boy is a rebel. His father is a very strict man who wants discipline and wants his every command to be obeyed (like Amitabh Bacchan in mohabbatein), his mother is a typical bollywood movie mother who wants to support her children but pati is parmeshwar so she cant do anything (like Kajol's mother in DDLJ). The boy & girl meet, fall in love but a stupid twist separate them. Thats the whole thing.

First of all, welcome to this forum :)

ZGH is based on a novel written by Umera Ahmed. I have read the novel and it was way better than the serial. The novel had many interesting scenes of Zaroon-Kashaf during university but they were not part of the serial. Also many extra characters were added in the serial. Having said this, i'm glad you are liking Pakistani serials.

Actually it wasnt even a novel just a collection of two people's diaries to make up a story. The book was good but i dont think better than the Serial. Addition of other characters is what made the serial good. otherwise it would have been the simple love story of Zaroon and Kashaf...plain and boring. The supporting roles had a great contribution and i think it was good they extended the story that way.

you are right the best thing about the book was we got to hear the POV of both Zaroon and Kashaf in their own words. Different from other works of Umera...and this concpet did glue you to the story. But it was so short!

Thankyou!

I think there's no English translation of the novel? :(

@bold --- Haha, this was the first serial perhaps I have watched with minimal characters! It felt as though serial would've been incomplete without any one character. The quality of direction, content and everything is just that good.

Not only Pakistani serials, I am in love with Pakistani culture, traditions, lifestyles, language and just about everything! Now that serials are being telecast here, they should show Pakistani movies, and telefilms also, here, in India.
