There are various factors that attract the viewers initially to a drama and OSTs are one of them. All the leading production houses use these OSTs to attract viewers while promoting their dramas before they actually go on air. They try to rope in the best musicians, lyricists, and singers for the purpose. Sometimes, these OSTs become so popular that even those people, who do not follow Pakistani dramas, listen to them and become familiar with the dramas in this manner. Also, these OSTs are written and composed keeping in mind the main theme of the storylines being shown in the dramas. Therefore, very often they are used as a background score which makes the viewers connect to different situations even more. A lot of thought and hard work goes into these OSTs therefore it is really important to appreciate all those individuals who used their creative potentials behind the scenes to create these masterpieces. Some of the best OSTs in the past and the present have been written by drama writers which is why the lyrics are always the most attractive element of these OSTs.
Here is a list of the best OSTs of Pakistani dramas 2021:
Parizaad
Vocals: Asrar
Composer: Waqar Ali
Lyricist: Hashim Nadeem Khan
Parizaad is a meaningful drama with so many different dimensions to it. The OST of the drama does complete justice to the main protagonist because the lyrics describe different aspects of his personality impeccably. The fact that the writer of the drama has penned down the lyrics definitely makes a huge difference. Also, since the piano is an important part of Parizaad’s journey, the composer Waqar Ali has used the piano notes to reflect different kinds of emotions in this OST. The lyrics talk about dreams, heartbreak and even looking for acceptance. Overall, this OST has a haunting effect which is also true for the drama which captivates you. Most of the people were more interested in watching the drama when they heard the OST since it had a different feel to it. It is definitely one of the best this year.
Raqeeb Se was another unconventional drama serial this year that kept the viewers engaged right till the end. This drama also had an OST which grabbed the attention of even those viewers who were not watching it. We are pretty sure that this OST was so soulful and powerful because it was sung by Hadiqa Kiani who also played one of the central characters in the story. Apart from her melodious voice, the lyrics were also beautifully penned down. These lyrics were written by Hadiqa Kiani’s mother who happens to be the one who is behind some of the best songs sung by the singer. The lyrics of the OST centered around the role played by Sania Saeed’s character more than any other aspect of the drama which is another reason why the viewers connected to it on a different level.
Raqs-e-Bismil
Vocals: Vicky Akbar
Composer: Riaz Ali Khan/Hassan Ali
Lyricist: Farhat Abbas Shah
Raqs-e-Bismil was a powerful drama with many emotional twists and turns in the story. The main theme of the drama was undying love and the pain it can cause if you are not destined to be with the one you love. Therefore, the OST also revolved around a lover’s yearning to meet his beloved. It is the kind of romantic OST that resonated with many. Vicky Akbar’s soulful voice added the impact that was needed to make it even more powerful. This OST was in Punjabi which we believe is another reason why it was so impactful. The composition also added more appeal and life to this OST. It was one of our favorites this year. We are glad that the director Wajahat Rauf used the OST effectively throughout without overusing it.
Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahi
Vocals: Roshaneh Zafar
Composer: Sami Khan
Lyricist: Sami Khan
Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahi was the kind of drama that made the viewers reflect upon different injustices in society. It also gave hope by showing how the hopes and aspirations of the characters materialized in the end. Since the drama was mostly about chasing dreams and not giving up, the OST was also about just that. It was a beautifully penned-down OST with a catchy composition. It gave hope and was inspirational just as was the journey of most of the characters. Sami Khan yet again proved himself as a talented musician who composed and wrote this OST perfectly to match the storyline of Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahi.
Safar Tamam Hua
Vocals: Abbas Ali Khan
Composer: Abbas Ali Khan
Lyricist: Sabir Zafar
Safar Tamam Hua was an entertaining drama that showed the journeys of its characters from a time when all of them were naïve. It was also about relationships and how you learn to value them with time. The OST of the drama was soothing and melodious. It was short and the lyrics were not too detailed but Abbas Ali Khan’s music and composition made all the difference. Since the title of the drama and even the script kept the viewers guessing about the actual intent or purpose till the end, the OST was also not too ‘revealing’ in terms of the plot. It is the kind of OST that is perfect to listen on repeat.
Aakhir Kab Tak
Vocals: Alycia Dias & Ali Tariq
Composer: Syed Adeel Ali
Lyricist: S.K Khalish
Aakhir Kab Tak is another iconic drama of 2021 with the most meaningful and entertaining script. The OST of the drama might be difficult to understand for those who are not watching the drama since it has been written keeping in mind the challenges faced by Fajr’s character. The latter part of the OST highlights those positive male characters that come into Noor and Fajar’s lives and turn things around. It has a haunting feel to it and the composition changes as the lyrics change.
Pardes
Vocals: Amanat Ali & Sithi Saha
Composer: Naveed Nashad
Lyricist: Qamar Nashad
Pardes was one of those few drama serials this year which touched upon a different topic altogether. It shows the trials of all those people who go abroad to work and how their families suffer. The OST of the drama was composed and sung so well that people connected to its meaning on a completely different level.
The OST of Azmaish was not only beautifully composed but perfectly worded too. It had to describe Basit’s life and his unrequited, one-sided love for Nimra, while also touching the subject of how he yearned to be with her. Rizwan Anwar definitely understood the theme and the requirement of the story, which is why he came up with the most befitting OST for the drama serial Azmaish. It was easy on the ears and the beautiful vocals of Rizwan Anwar and Nimra Mehra brought soulfulness to it. The melody and the music were beautiful too, making it one of the best OSTs of this year.
It won’t be wrong to say that the first impression of the drama serial Fitoor was created by the OST that echoed in the teasers when the drama was about to air on the channel. It was the kind of OST that had that charm that immediately attracts the audience and makes you want to listen to it again and again. The lyrics of this OST were meaningful too which depicted the suffering the love has caused to both Dilnasheen and Haider. No wonder why the OST became a major part of the drama and so many dream sequences were shot with this song echoing in the background, adding more meaning to the situations. Shani Arshad and Aima Baig have sung this song beautifully.
Singer: Yashal Shahid
Composer: Azaan Sami Khan
Lyricist: Sabir Zafar
Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay’s OST became a top favorite in no time. Composer Azaan Sami Khan deserves full credit for coming up with such a unique melody and adding all those intricacies through the sound effects which really elevate the experience of listening to this song. Yashal Shahid has become an overnight sensation because of Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay’s OST. The best part is that Azaan Sami Khan put Yashal Shahid’s vocals to good use and extracted the kind of emotion that was required for this OST. The melodious voice along with soulful music make this OST one of the best that we have come across. This particular OST got the attention of a lot of celebrities too and they were seen praising it rightfully.
Laapata
Singer: Kiran Waseem and Tehseen W. Chishty
Composer: Farhan Zameer
Lyricist: Wardah Lodhi
The OST of Laapata can be termed as quirky and fun. The OST doesn’t really give much away about the story or the theme of the drama but still fits it perfectly. The genre of Laapata was not truly classified until Falak meets Daniyal, therefore keeping in mind the initial episodes of the drama, this fun and peppy song talking about the love between two individuals fits Falak and Shams’ story perfectly. Both the singers Kiran and Tehseen have unique and clean voices and they have sung it beautifully.
Laapata
Singer: Ali Alvi
Composer & Lyricist: Ali Alvi
Although this particular song was not used as the OST of Laapata but became a major part of some of the episodes because of the way it was used during those slow-motion scenes which kept the audience engaged. Ali Alvi must be extremely proud of this song that he came up with because it has a very calm and soothing vibe to it. Another such song is perfect for long drives.
Shehnai
Singers: Asim Azhar and Nehal Naseem
Composer & Lyricist: Qasim Azhar and Hassan Ali
Shehnai’s OST was just like the drama itself – fun, festive, and happening. The story of the drama serial Shehnai was all about Bakht and Meerab’s wedding covering all the mishaps that unfolded during the course of it. No wonder why the composers and lyricists came up with such an OST that covered the festivities of a wedding perfectly. The way it was shot was another masterstroke because it introduced the drama to the audience in such an intelligent manner. The moment you listen to this OST and watch its video, you get the gist of what this show is all about – an intelligent piece of work.
Pehli Si Mohabbat
Singer: Ali Zafar
Composer & Lyricist: Ali Zafar
Ali Zafar deserves all the credit for this soulful OST of Pehli Si Mohabbat. The drama itself had a lot going for it in terms of stellar cast and a strong team of drama-makers, therefore Ali Zafar had to give his best shot and come up with such an OST that not only did justice to it but also added more value to the entire drama-watching experience. This is the reason when every time this OST was echoed in the background, it added more meaning to it. Ali Zafar came up with befitting lyrics to describe the theme of the story and sang is with all his heart and soul, making it one of the best OSTs of this year.
Kasa e Dil
Singer: Hadiqa Kiyani and Sahir Ali Bagga
Composer & Lyricist: Sahir Ali Bagga
Sahir Ali Bagga has definitely been on a winning streak when it comes to OST. With each passing year, he gets to add another feather in his cap with one beautiful OST after another. This year, although the drama Kasa e Dil didn’t turn out to be a super-hit serial, the OST of it was definitely unforgettable. To add Hadiqa Kiyani’s beautiful voice was a masterstroke by Sahir Ali Bagga and they both created something extremely special when they sang it together. The lyrics, the music, and the melodious voices of the singers made it one of the best OSTs of 2021.

Drama serial Parizaad is a mega project produced by Hum Television. The drama is written by very talented writer Hashim Nadeem. The drama is directed by Shehzad Kashmiri. The story of the drama revolves around Parizaad, the drama encloses the life journey of Parizaad who is a “Hero Figure” . Parizaad is emotional, intelligent and a decent guy who is helpful to the society.
In this episode Parizaad went through the major transition of his life . After the death of Seth Behoroz Karim he became the owner of all his property & businesses as per the will of Behroz Karim. His emotional acting from Jail to being rich was thoroughly loved by the fans. Fans thought that Parizaad finally got the reward of his patience and honesty. Many fans were of the view that this episode was the most emotional episode. They also loved when he tried to act like Behroz Karim.
Fans recalled all the emotional moments from the episode and shared it on Twitter. A few fans said that the narration part of episode 17 was the best part. It depicted the whole scenario like a film.Fans loved the rise of Parizaad and said that it was well deserved.
One fan said, “Parizaad Todays episode was just amazing. When parizaad was poor he lost precious friends & lovers (lubna) for whom he couldnt do anything. Now that he is rich he still lost a precious friend today (Janu) who couldn’t walk the same path as parizaad.
One fan said, “Parizaad crying when Feroze was being taken for execution, parizaad sister longing for her brother, parizaad remembering his former boss Behroze, the pain on parizaad face when janu refused to associate with him anymore, everything was just so emotional & executed so prefectly”
This was hands down the best episode of Parizaad; it was fast-paced, emotional, and exciting. What started off as a grim episode which made me wonder where the story was headed, ended up being another outstanding episode of a drama that continues to intrigue and engage. Last week I was wondering if Parizaad would be comfortable with all the material gains and tonight we saw a massive transformation! Tonight, it was revealed why so many weeks were dedicated to this particular track. Although every character Parizaad has met so far has left its mark on his life, Behroze Karim’s track was definitely a game-changer. We saw a completely different side to Parizaad’s personality tonight. His interactions with his staff and immediate acceptance of his new status suggested that he was beyond ready for this new life.
The way this transformation was shown was once again not just convincing but also completely wholesome. I have noticed that Hashim Nadeem literally keeps you guessing and on the edge! Every week my views, impressions and opinions about the characters change in a way I could not even have imagined! I absolutely loved how meaningfully this drastic change in Pari’s life was shown. In one of the scenes, it seemed as if he was replicating Behroze Karim’s expressions. From Parizaad’s name to all his big and small yearnings were beautifully integrated into the script tonight. The director definitely gave this episode the right treatment which made every little detail come alive on screen. After a long time, the complete focus was on Parizaad, and rightly so!
The Ups and Downs
Tonight’s episode opened by showing a few changes in Parizaad which were quite unexpected. For the first time, Parizaad was hopeless and he started smoking as well! His smoking scenes reminded me of Nasaaz. The poetry in this episode and the emotional goodbye scene when Feroze was being taken away also reminded me of the time when Nasaaz left Parizaad on his own. Feroze was yet another person in Pari’s life who was a mentor and who had faith that Pari will be able to go on without him. Leaving another such person behind added to all the sacrifices Pari has made and all the heartaches he has endured on this journey. This time around too he did bounce back. He took the help of books and even though these scenes showing the time Pari spent in jail were shown in a few minutes, they were reflective of the changes in his personality. It was as if he was getting ready to take charge even though he did not appear to be too excited about it when he talked to Feroze. Was he preparing to learn everything Behroze had learned by reading these books? Or was this his way of showering his maalik with affection even though he was no longer alive? I felt it was both! It was also good to see Pari going back to reading books, these scenes reminded me of the person we saw in the first few episodes. Pari’s family was also back in the picture tonight. I am eagerly waiting to find out how he treats them now and how they react once they find out how rich he is now. I hope he is not too generous!
New Life
Parizaad’s expressions and antics changed as he spent time in the prison. He was no longer the person who didn’t know the ways of the world. However, his basic nature stayed the same as was evident from the scenes with Akbar and Janu. I was expecting Parizaad to react awkwardly or uncomfortable to the treatment he was being given when he left the prison. That was not the case; he immediately accepted this new position and let these people know what he wanted from them. Also, he told Kamali off right in the beginning, telling him that he was in charge! The scene covering Parizaad’s entry into Behroze’s house this time around as the maalik were superb. It showed that he was absorbing every little emotion when he walked in there. Even with all this money and his new status, he still had a certain set of values which is why he gave Akbar the respect he promised Feroze he will give. Also, he did not leave his old friend behind. This scene with Janu would have been even more powerful, had we not watched his wife talking about Parizaad as if he was not the least bit important, in one of the previous episodes. The fact that Janu refused to work with Pari went to show that even with all the riches, Pari could not have the people he wanted should be in his life. However, watching him boss all these people around and watching Kamali, in particular, trying his best to please Pari, reminded me of Lubna’s mother’s partying dialogues which changed the way Pari perceived his life’s goals.
Parizaad’s name has always been an important part of his journey. The writer has done a fantastic job of ensuring that this name is used in a meaningful manner at every step of his journey. This time, when he had to rename the enterprise he was going to run, he decided not to use his name! This went to show that even now, he was not comfortable with his name. He also decided to spend more time alone even though he wanted wealth in order to get acceptance from others. Will Parizaad actually fit in, in this new lifestyle?
Final Remarks
With this episode of Parizaad, the main protagonist’s journey is yet again on a new path. Tonight’s episode was beautifully written and executed. This drama continues to be meaningful and engaging, which is a rare combination. Apart from Ahmed Ali Akbar, who nails every single scene effortlessly every week, Iftikhar Iffi stood out as Kamali, he is such a phenomenal actor. Saad Azhar is another actor who always leaves a lasting impression. He made Feroze’s last few scenes truly memorable. The actor playing Akbar also had a definite screen presence in this episode. I am waiting to see Parizaad and Saeeda’s reunion more than anything else. I am also waiting to see how Pari handles all this wealth and where his life goes from here. There is so much to look forward to. This new beginning added more excitement to the story. Can money buy happiness? I am waiting to find out!
