Pakistani dramas generally revolve around love stories of people in their teens or twenties, evil mothers in law and sisters in law and the famous sisters rivalry.

Pinjra has shown how parenting is a difficult job and how wrong decisions of parents effect children.
Pinjra was written by late Asma Nabeel who also the wrote the famous Khaani. She however, could not complete the script and cancer took her away from this mortal world.
