Pakistani industry has churned up some real gems with outstanding quality over time such as Ankahi and Tanhaiyan.

With time, the overall quality of dramas being produced have increased manifold to put forward serials which have truly engrossing story lines. The quality of acting too, has vastly improved.

If you too are a drama freak, don’t miss the dramas listed below!

Baaghi

Baaghi is one of the drama serials which totally deserves every bit of attention it has received so far.

It is based on a tragic event, one of many that take place due to misguided mindsets of a few.

Qandeel Baloch was a bold and considerably different Pakistani media star, who spurned many controversies. She came from a small town, and was an ordinary girl dealing with the toils of life when she decided she wanted more.

Baaghi takes a look at her life before she came to the attention of the media.

She was unfortunately shot dead by her brother in the name of ‘honor killing’.

O Rangreza

O Rangreza is another acclaimed drama serial being run on Hum Television.

The story is based on the life of a girl called Sassi. Sassi’s father is a poet named Khayyam. While severely mistreating his sweet wife, Khayyam claims to be in love with an actress named Sonia, with whom he works.

His daughter begins to wish she could be like the actress her father holds in such high esteem!

Alif, Allah aur Insaan

This particular drama has incredible potential in inspiring Pakistanis to truly begin working hard.

The drama holds special significance as it attempts to deliver a message to those who watch it, rather than providing mind-numbing entertainment.

It is a story of trust and relationships, revolving around the lives of people from different backgrounds, faiths and beliefs.

Through its story, the serial highlights a fundamental concept of being rewarded by a Higher Power for hard work and patience.

Muhabbat Tum Se Nafrat Hai

Kaneez Begum and her family are the central characters in Muhabbat Tum se Nafrat Hai.

She is a woman who has endured many hardships in her life, but this has not deterred her from her interest in the world.

She strives to create a warm, welcoming and happy environment in her house. This is probably a topic of interest to many of us, who despite constant struggles at work, and other mental tensions, try our best to provide our best at home for our family.

Zindaan

Zindaan plays on ARY Digital. This serial too tries to deliver a lesson for its viewers that in life, there always will be a struggle between good and evil.

There is always some negativity, always a black cloud of some kind threatening to overshadow our efforts. However, we must keep moving forward despite any such negative influences.

We must make every effort to keep our family and our relationships intact. The show gives themes of intense love and obsession where characters try coping with all the negativity while moving forward in life.

Who Aik Pal

The plot of WohAik Pal, is centered on a happily married couple who have a child. The story of this drama reeks of love, betrayal and revenge, and is probably a classic reminder to ensure the people around us really deserve to be there.

In life, there are many two-faced individuals who sneak into our lives and wish us harm. In WohAik Pal, friends of the couple try to rob them and accidentally shoot the husband. Feeling guilty about their actions, one of them then marries the widowed wife.

The list is by no means exhaustive.

There are many other drama serials in Pakistan which are truly remarkable in terms of the issues they highlight and the lessons they attempt to deliver. One such drama serial worth mentioning is Adhi Gawahi, which attempts to bring to light a subject particularly sensitive in our society, which is Nikkah and consequently divorce

Another drama that deserves to be mentioned is Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hai. While society has vastly progressed, the birth of daughters is still looked down upon even in educated households. Worth a watch!
