We dare you to watch just one episode of any of these dramas without waking up two days later and finding you have binge-watched the entire serial.

Powerful performances from Sanam Saeed, Samina Peerzada and Fawad Khan made this serial an international favourite. This serial was a phenomenon that made its stars insanely popular in both Pakistan and India, boosting the steady trickle of cultural exchange into a river of cross-border friendship. 2) Humsafarĭirector: Sarmad Khoosat Writer: Farhat IshtiaqĬast: Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Naveen Waqar, Atiqa Odho, Hina Bayat, Noor Hassan Marshalling multiple locations, a huge star cast and all the political sensitivities and historical details while still maintaining a critical balance makes this drama stand head and shoulders above the crowd.įawad Khan, Sanam Baloch, Ahsan Khan, Saba Qamar and Mehreen Raheel gave superlative performances to match Samira Fazal’s wonderful script. The sheer complexity and scale of such a project would daunt anyone but was skillfully handled by director Haissam Hussain with the kind of next-level genius that he is well known for. Set during the tumultuous time of Partition and Independence, Dastaan told the story of Hassan and Bano, torn apart by events far beyond their control. It is an epic love story between a nation and its people. Dastaan isn’t just any serial, or just any romance between two individuals.
Being good is not good enough, you have to be exceptional. 1) Dastaanĭirector: Haissam Hussain Writer : Samira FazalĬast: Fawad Khan, Sanam Baloch, Ahsan Khan, Saba Qamar, Mehreen Raheel However, the single most important common denominator was that they were all rock solid entertainment, the kind of show audiences were desperately waiting all week for.
The ones that did make it to the Top 10 have these things in common: repeat value, iconic characters, a coherent story from start to finish and a strong director. Firstly, a drama has to be incredibly well written: any repetitious dialogues, inconsistent characterisations, or lazy reliance on stereotypes or clichés would be an immediate disqualification. Just being popular or “hit of the season” will not get your favourite drama on it.

Read on: Is Zindagi TV considering a ban on Pakistani dramas? Unfortunately, political rhetoric seems to have reduced the torch of cross border friendship and goodwill to the kind of flickering diya Paro carried around for Devdas, so maybe it’s time to remind everyone why the diya was lit in the first place. It was these same dramas that introduced not just India but anyone on the globe (who understands even a little Urdu) to our most famous exports Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. So it made perfect business sense for Indian broadcasting giant Zee TV to take advantage of such a commercial opportunity and dedicate a channel called Zee Zindagi to their transmission. A sizable section of the Indian public and the worldwide subcontinental diaspora now make up a hitherto unheard of international audience.

No, we don’t mean the daytime soaps that are full of saas/bahu sazishes (mother-in-law/daughter-in-law scheming) but the prime-time offerings of our major channels.Įver increasing internet access and the spread of social media have put any show just a click away. Pakistani dramas have made colossal strides over the last decade, raising the bar for quality writing, innovation and realism. This piece was originally published on 9 July, 2017.
