There is no denying the fact that the OSTs of Pakistani dramas are popular all over the world. They always add more appeal to the drama and the OST’s that are composed beautifully with meaningful lyrics become popular in no time. Every now and then, Pakistani drama fans and viewers see some of the OSTs of dramas becoming viral, however, that doesn’t happen with all the soundtracks. Just like Pakistani dramas, OSTs are also both good and not so good. Some of these OST’s fail to strike a chord and end up feeling like noise pollution. The fact that the directors and editors rely on overusing the OST’s also ends up making them annoying for the viewers and the appeal or the charm that the OST might have in the initial stages of the drama ends up getting lost by the time the drama ends.

Here is the list of annoying OSTs of Pakistani dramas that aired in 2020:
Ishq Zahe Naseeb
Singers & Composer: Naveed Nashad
Lyricist: Hashim Nadeem

In the initial episodes, the OST of Ishq Zahe Naseeb did grow on the viewers, however as the drama progressed, the editors become bigger fans of the soundtrack, so much so that they decided to use it to such an extent that would make the viewers fall out of love of it and guess what, they succeeded. The fact that the same soundtrack was varied and used in so many different versions throughout the drama made the viewers’ blood boil. Also, the fact that the drama has more flashbacks than the original scenes, where the soundtrack was overused made it a buzzkill as well. There was a time when the viewers were so annoyed with this OST that every time it echoed, they literally turned the volume off.
You forgot to add Tarap’s OST. It makes me wanna wish I was dead especially the awful title card music.
Nice list. It feels good to read all these 2020 lists.
Fun facts
1) Jalan ost is not original. Same ost was used by same director in another debacle “Yeh Ishq”. Of course no one remembers.
2) Meherposh has 2 osts. O berehem aisa sitam. Like viewers haven’t figured the genre of the drama yet, similarly viewers haven’t really distinguished between the osts yet
Sahir Ali Bagga is a horrible singer, listening to his voice is such a drag, it sucks that he sings every other ost :/
U Lack music sense.
And you lack the sensibility to understand that other people could have different tastes in music
A small tribute from my side to some nightingales, who had our ears bleeding this whole year. Some vocals/melodies which will continue to haunt us for the rest of our life. If you can hear these vocals in your head, you are so wasted like the rest of us.
1) Aaan aan aannnnnnnn… Mollaaa Molllaaa (x∞)
2) Soyaa hai naseeban Rabbaa, kaisi hai Judayi Rreeee…
3) Dukhh darrd layeee bedarrdd hayeeee… Dard ke Mosssaaammmm (Covid?)
4) Sazzisshh karoon,, kya kya karoon? Kia main karoonnn… Kya naa karoon..
Rabba weeee
I was just watching an old Pakistani drama “Bandhan” played by Nadia Khan. It didn’t had any ost except “na na na na na na…” just as a tune but it definitely was used at the right time!!!!!! This was the third beauty of the drama along with the first being its beautifully penned script and second one the most precise drama I’ve ever seen that just ended in 13 episodes!!!!
Ishq Zahay Naseeb ost and Ishqiya ost should be removed
Tbh I haven’t seen Ishq Zah e Naseeb and I love it’s OST so it should not be in the list.
Ishq Zah e Naseeb OST is okay. It shouldnt be on this list.
i think you should add chalawa and qarar ost so boring
Qarar OST is not that boring. Part of it sounds really good tbh.
I seriously wanna know what was Sajjad Ali thinking when he agreed to sing ‘Jhooti thi main, Jhooti thi, Jhooti hi rahun gi’
i dont think that ishq zah e naseeb and ishqiya should be in this list
I actually love many of them
Very true for nand.. whenever ost starts like.. soya hai naseeba.. my ear bleeds.. feels like I should sleep instead😄.. terrible voice n pathetic lyrics.. such a hopeless ost..
