1. Rare Pakistani vids.
2. Good price.
1. Small collection.
2. Updates just once a month.

"Despite the small size, at this price the site is worth a look for fans of Indian babes." |

Today we're reviewing Tawaif.com. I'm guessing you, like me, have no clue what a Tawaif is so we should probably start with a definition. The site says that a Tawaif was "a courtesan of the Muslim noble classes in South Asia, particularly during the Mughal era." She was usually well-educated and could choose from the best of suitors. They go on to say that "the tawaif culture was made famous by the Indian & Pakistani. The term in Urdu is almost synonmyous with prostitute." So there you have it. Today is all about the Far East hotties.
Inside the site you'll find a very simple set-up. Currently they have 27 videos available with three new videos added on the first of each month. That is pretty infrequent but they say that these are "very rare movies" that are actually banned in Pakistan so maybe they're hard to come by. Anyhow, they're not exclusive by I can tell you I've never seen them before, not that that's saying much. Each video is approximately 60 minutes long and comes with a brief description (that is identical for almost every video) and DVD boxcover. It appears that users have a choice of viewing the multiple parts in Windows Media or Real Player. However, they are mislabeled. There are no actually no wmvs or Real Player vids at all. Most of the clips are avis and there are a couple mpegs scattered throughout, as well. Although they are DivX vids, quality was just about average for me. They look like your basic good amateur clips. Honestly I was a little disappointed, both by the lack of video options and the average quality of the videos.
I was also surprised by how softcore the videos are. Considering that they're apparently banned in some countries, I was expecting something a little naughtier than belly dancing. However, solo dances are exactly what these are. The women swivel their hips and shake their ta-tas but the action never really goes beyond the dancing. You'll get a boob shot here and there but for the most part these are very, very tame. The dancers are all quite attractive and they look genuinely Pakistani to me. They're good dancers, at least!
There's room for improvement on Tawaif.com. A larger collection through more frequent updates is needed. More video options, actual descriptions, and better quality content are also necessary changes. The things this site does have going for it are the rare videos and the price which is just $15 a month. I can't say I'd pay any more than that. Because of the uncommon nature of the content, I'll cut Tawaif some slack and say it's worth a join for fans of Indian babes but you have to be a pretty diehard fan to really enjoy the site.
