Perween Shakir
The legendary poetess Parween Shakir reciting her own poetry. It is magical to listen to her. She reads out three amazingly woven intricate yet romantic ghazals.
It is a rare treat. Listen!

Alif Noon - The Barber's Shop
The next video clip features a comical script with a serious message played so well and seriously that in retrospect it seems incredible how the writer and then the main two characters manage to make it side-splitting and deadly serious simultaneously.
"Alif Noon" is that classical drama from Pakistan Television which blended the thought-provoking and the amusing sides of the Pakistani culture which sometime existed at the same place. The Pakistani society was at a transforming stage at that moment. With a number of middle class and religiously strict families marching towards modern way of life, it was a testing time for many people.
The main two characters Kamal Ahmad Rizwi - the writer and director as well - and Muhammad Rafi Khawar (who got fame as 'Nannah') are the duo who shot to fame mainly due to this play.
This is a scene from a barber's shop.
I'd specially like to mention the last couple who comes in rather the husband comes in 'dragging' his wife along so that he can have her hair cut for her to be able to accompany him in the so-called 'high society'. Whereas she does not want so but then she gives in when he threatens to divorce her (it is the third day of their married life) And the barber (Muhammad Rafi Khawar) first refuses to cut her hair and then cuts his fingers in protest so that he does not have to face such a dilemma again.

Rangeela In Action
Now who does not know about Rangeela when it comes to old Pakistani films!
The following clip features this king of comedy though here he does not look in his full form still it is enough to get the viewers laughing. He is one of those actors from whom everybody expects something funny and he always comes up to the expectations of his fans.
In the following scene, Rangeela exercises his mesmerism on a visitor. He gets away with it as you might be able to forsee it. But then he tries it on his father. The result I hope you can already imagine. Still in order to enjoy it better do watch it.
What brings home the expertise of Rangeela at acting is the dead serious manner in which he plays the role.
