Disclaimer and editorial policy

An independent guide

ShowBuzz is an independent entertainment guide to Pakistani television, Indian cinema and Hollywood, written for readers wherever they live. We are not a television channel, a film studio, a distributor or a streaming service, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any of them. Programme titles, film titles, channel names and logos belong to their owners and are used only to identify the work we are writing about.

We do not host or link to pirated content

ShowBuzz does not host, stream or offer downloads of episodes or films. When we tell you where to watch something, we point only to the official broadcaster, its official YouTube channel, a licensed streaming service or the cinema. Trailers embedded on our pages are the studios' own uploads on their official YouTube channels. If you think a link on ShowBuzz leads to unofficial material, tell us and we will remove it.

How we source facts

• Credits, dates and schedules come from the channel, studio or production house, or from established outlets such as Dawn, The News, The Express Tribune, The Hindu, Hindustan Times, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline. Background on films and series is checked against their Wikipedia articles and the sources those articles cite.
• Box-office figures are trade estimates, not audited accounts. We name the source (for example Box Office India, Sacnilk or the producer's own announcement) and the date we checked it. When sources disagree, we give the range or the more conservative figure and say so, and we leave budgets out when the published numbers conflict.
• Release dates are listed only when the makers or a major outlet have confirmed them. They can change, so check with your local cinema or platform before you plan a trip.
• Rankings and "best of" lists are editorial opinion, explained on each list. They are not ratings charts, and nobody can pay to be included.

Every title and profile page shows when it was last checked and lists its sources at the bottom, so you can verify what we say.

Celebrity news and gossip

We report what people have said publicly or what reputable outlets have reported, and we attribute it. We do not publish rumours about private lives, health or relationships as fact, and we do not invent quotes.

Images

Photographs of people appear only under a free licence, usually from Wikimedia Commons, with the photographer, licence and source credited beside the picture. The banner artwork on title pages is original illustration made for ShowBuzz, not stills or posters from the shows and films. If you hold rights to an image and think we have credited it wrongly, contact us and we will fix or remove it.

Advertising

ShowBuzz is free to read and is supported by advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense. Advertisers have no say over what we cover or how we cover it, and ads are always visually separate from our editorial content. We do not publish paid reviews or sponsored articles disguised as news. How advertising cookies work, and how to opt out, is explained in our privacy policy.

External links

We link to sources and official pages so you can check our facts. We are not responsible for the content of other websites, and a link is not an endorsement.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we correct the page and update its "last checked" date. When an error mattered, we say what changed. To report a mistake, use our contact page. Name the page and the fact, and include a source if you have one.

No professional advice

ShowBuzz is for general information and entertainment. Nothing on the site is financial, legal or other professional advice, and box-office figures should not be used for investment decisions.
