We all love a love story in the shape of novels, movies, and even Pakistani drama series. Thanks to the rom-com creators, we can fall in love again without the fear of heartbreak!
Pakistan is a conservative country. Practicing romance openly is a taboo. Hence, what’s best about Pakistani romance dramas is how we witness the charm and love from afar instead of seeing a full-blown PG-18 scene. I simply adore the girl’s cute glances from behind the curtain, how the guy plans the perfect date, how the girl sneaks out to meet him and everything in between.
This list of drama series is for you if old-school romance intrigues you too.
Khaas
Khaas is a refreshingly old-fashioned love story with a modern twist. Despite the attraction and even their marriage, the couple faces challenges to understand each other. Interestingly, Ali Rehman (Ammar Saud) and Sanam Baloch (Saba) both love each other but cannot bend to change themselves. Sadly, the couple divorces and a new chapter opens in the shape of love for the girl.
Simultaneously, a charming young painter crafts his new art piece; a girl from his dreams. Surprisingly, the girl resembles Saba, the newly divorced, and also the former wife of his friend. A new love story unravels and this drama series is a must-watch, hence.
Ruswai
Only watch Ruswai if you are in the mood for tearing up! While Ruswai is mainly a crime based drama, however, it also highlights ‘love’ and ‘romance’ in a very unconventional kind of way.
Sana Javed, Mikaal Zulfiqar, Osama Tahir and Minna Tariq take the lead roles and showcase awesome on-screen acting skills. I won’t give off the drama’s details so that you watch it.
Nonetheless, you need to know that Sana Javed is kidnapped, raped and finally returned, bruised and destroyed. How her fiancé reacts is the mystery you need to unravel.
Prem Gali
The perfect genre-defining drama, Prem Gali is raising the bar for all new rom-com series to come. This ARY production showcases the adorable tom-and-jerry kind of love and hate relationship between Joya and Hamza.
