Zard Patton Ka Bunn is impressive and here is a list of 10 Pakistani dramas you should watch if you are loving this one:
Udaari
Udaari is another Hum TV drama that was co-produced by Kashf Foundation. Udaari can be hailed as a game changer for Pakistani dramas as it laid the foundation for social messaging in dramas once again when we had fallen into the Star Plus trap of conniving or mere love stories with triangles. The way Ahsan Khan portrayed the negative character in Udaari made it a mega-hit and also brought forward the taboo topic of child rape. This crime is increasing day by day in Pakistan. Udaari was directed by Mohammad Ehteshamuddin and written by Farhat Ishtiaq. It is a must-watch for those loving Zard Patton Ka Bunn.
Rehaai
Rehaai is another collaboration between Kashf Foundation and Hum TV. The drama released in 2013 and highlighted the child marriage epidemic in Pakistan. How this affects the health of the girls involved and the pain and obstacles they face due to the punishment they get for life. It also spoke about how women with infertility are treated in Pakistan and how patriarchy controls the whole world around us. With Nauman Ijaz, Maria Wasti, Samina Peerzada, Danish Taimoor, and Saniya Shamshad in the series, this is a winner through and through and will leave you elated and enlightened. Rehaai should also be on the list of all Danish Taimoor fans as the actor showed his true potential in Rehaai. Rehai was written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Mehreen Jabbar.
