22 Best Male Performances in Pakistani Dramas 2025

Pakistani dramas reached their peak in 2025, with various unique genres being explored across different channels. The usual formula of saas-bahu content is decreasing, with new stories taking centre stage. A drama reaches a faraway audience through three main components: a tightly written script, solid direction, and strong performances. Actors end up becoming those characters and bring those stories to life. Even one solid performance at times can be enough to turn a drama into a mega hit.

Pakistani Dramas have a very talented pool of actors. From veterans who have been proving their mettle for decades to the superstars who bring big numbers on rating charts, and the new entrants who are leaving no stone unturned to show their talent. The year 2025 also saw many great performances from male actors, and here is a list:

Abul Hassan (Parwarish)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Abul Hassan is a newcomer to the Pakistani drama landscape. He is a famous content creator, and Gen Z loves his commentary videos. He made his acting debut in the critically acclaimed drama, Parwarish, as Sameer. His character ultimately became a representation of many Gen Z youngsters in Pakistan, and he was convincing in every scene, despite this being his debut. He was a natural, and the chemistry he had with his co-star Samar Jafri was even more loved than that of the lead couple.

Ali Ammar (Tan Mann Neelo Neel)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Ali Ammar is another new actor who appeared in the mega hit Pakistani drama Tan Mann Neelo Neel. The show was hard-hitting, and the performances made it one to remember. Ali Ammar played a crucial role as Moon in the show. Moon not only represented the difficulties a professional dancer faces in Pakistan but also represented the silent voices of male rape victims in the country. Ali Ammar gave a beautiful performance, expressing vulnerability and pain. The actor also shook the nation when he ran in the mob-lynching scene, and everyone cried for his ending.

Ahmed Ali Akbar (Sanwal Yaar Piya)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Ahmed Ali Akbar has successfully made a notable commercial comeback with his performance in Sanwal Yaar Piya. The character he portrays exhibits a vibrant persona, characterized by a distinct accent, colorful and flamboyant attire, and a compelling aura. Ahmed Ali Akbar has demonstrated exceptional skill in embodying this role, appearing as Sanwal rather than as himself.

Ali Tahir (Sher)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Ali Tahir continues to make a strong impact in the world of contemporary Pakistani dramas, showcasing his talent and versatility as an actor. He was a fan favorite as a perfect green flag last year in Zard Patton Ka Bunn, and this year, he flipped the script by appearing as the fierce villain in Sher. He played the equivalent of Scar from The Lion King. Ali Tahi gave his best as he created a distinct voice, mannerism, and aura as the villain. He once again proved how a strong villain can make or break a drama.

Ahad Raza Mir (Meem Se Mohabbat)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Ahad Raza Mir is one of the top male stars of Pakistani dramas. His fans are always looking forward to his projects, and he made his comeback after a short break as Sir Talha in Meem Se Mohabbat.

Initially, Ahad was measured, emotional, and aloof, but later he adeptly transitioned into a fun and romantic character. Throughout the show’s run, Ahad received widespread praise and garnered love from both fans and critics.

Azaan Sami Khan (Main Manto Nahi Hoon)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Azaan Sami Khan has been working in Pakistani dramas for some time now, but he has not been able to impress the audience much. As he played Farhad Binyamin in Main Manto Nahi Hoon, he finally gave his breakout performance. He was the main villain in a star-studded drama, and everyone loved him. Farhad was a charismatic character with an unmatched aura. Despite the presence of stars like Babar Ali, Saba Hameed, Sajal Aly, and Humayun Saeed, Azaan Sami Khan stood out and received significant love and praise for his performance.

Asif Raza Mir (Main Manto Nahi Hoon)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Asif Raza Mir is a veteran star of Pakistani dramas. He comes from a showbiz family and has beautifully embraced his father’s legacy; now his sons are continuing the tradition. Asif Raza Mir has made a spectacular comeback in dramas and has since worked in shows like Jhok Sarkar, Meem Se Mohabbat, and Main Manto Nahi Hoon. Main Manto Nahi Hoon was a problematic script, but Asif Raza Mir gave a great performance as Siraj Amritsari. Siraj was a gangster who was stuck in a family dynamic where generations had been fighting on the streets. Siraj was a just character and wanted to bring peace to the city, but circumstances prevented him from doing so. He is also a loving father and a man who stands by the women of his family. Asif gave a measured and nuanced performance as Siraj Amritsari.

Ali Raza (Iqtidar)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Ali Raza is the breakout leading star of Pakistani dramas. He was noticed last year in Noor Jahan as Nooroo Mama’s favourite son. He went on to do a small and energetic role in Duniyapur, and this year, he hit it out of the park as Shahnawaz Shah in Iqtidaar. Ali  Raza played the role of a strong, mature, and assertive politician skillfully,  despite his young age. His chemistry with the co-actress Anmol Baloh became a big hit, and Ali Raza became a fan favourite.

Babar Ali (Main Manto Nahi Hoon)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Babar Ali is a superstar of both cinema and Pakistani dramas. He acted in films and later transitioned successfully into the drama industry. Main Manto Nahi Hoon provided him with an opportunity to play a different role from his usual father roles. He was a gangster with enough money and power to control the city, but he eventually lost both his sons. He was remorseful about what he had done to Surraiya’s sons, and he was scared of karma hitting back. His expressions were top-notch, and he won the audience despite limited screen time.

Deepak Perwani (Qarz e Jaan & Jama Taqseem)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Deepak Perwani is a renowned Pakistani designer. After giving 30 years to the fashion industry, Deepak is currently working in Pakistani dramas and delivering outstanding performances.

He made the fans hate him to the core.

Deepak Parwani’s Experience of Living in Joint Family & Filming Scenes in Mosque

The same actor has demonstrated his impressive range by portraying Asher in Jama Taqseem. In this role, he plays a pacifist and a father that every child would want in their life. He brings qualities of softness, understanding, and support to his character in Jama Taqseem. This portrayal is a complete departure from his role in Qarz e Jaan, and he has convincingly won over audiences once again.

Danish Taimoor (Sher)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

Danish Taimoor has faced criticism in recent years for choosing similar scripts and roles in his dramas. However, he remains the top star in Pakistani television, with his shows consistently reaching over a billion views.

Javed Sheikh (Jama Taqseem)

Best Acting Performance Male In Pakistani Dramas 2025

He is currently starring in Jama Taqseem as a rigid patriarch. The actor embodies rigid fathers who fail to adapt to changing times, allowing many viewers to see their own lives mirrored in the character he portrays.

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Pakistani dramas are loved by millions, and their limited number of episodes and relatable characters make the audience fall for them. Television is a medium accessible to everyone which makes Pakistani dramas reach even wider. Many dramas are able to attract audiences from their debut, and fans look forward to their progression, but they really go off-track towards the end. Such development often makes fans feel sour about wasting their precious time on such shows, while the talent of many actors is also wasted.

In the year 2024, many Pakistani dramas were able to make us go gaga over them while there were many which started great but the makers could not lead them through a stable progression and their stories either dragged or could not reach logical conclusions.

Here is a list of 2024 Pakistani Dramas that went off track:

Ishq Murshid

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Ishq Murshid was most definitely among the biggest dramas of the season. The beautiful chemistry of the leading couple, showcasing the regional culture of Sindh and a detour from general saas-bahu content made Ishq Murshid everyone’s favourite. What went wrong though with the drama was its execution towards the end. With Shibra and Shahemeer married, the story should have ended but the makers ended up dragging it unnecessarily post-wedding. In the end Shahmeer became a killer, his father was white-washed while the whole sub-plot about Shahmeer leading the party and the country was thrown away. A very good drama that went terribly off-track in the end.

Mein

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Mein was another drama that brought a huge cast with Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali in the lead. Shahzad Nawaz as Asif Uncle was another winner in the cast. The show had all the masala that can create a big hit. Ayeza Khan did a fantastic job as Mubashira Jaffar and the story had a lot of push and pull. However, this turned out to be another drama that drifted off the track in the end. The ending was incomplete and unsatisfying for the viewers.

Jaan Nisar

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Jaan Nisar was a highly anticipated drama this year. It was not everyone’s cup of tea but it had a huge following due to the Deewangi pair Hiba Bukhari and Danish Taimoor making their comeback together. The drama was a typical story with over-the-top situations woven into the script but fans enjoyed it in the beginning. By the second half, Jaan Nisar was dragged, the situations stopped making any sense and now it has landed on the list of Pakistani dramas that went off-track this year. Better editing and a lesser number of episodes could have saved Jaan Nisar from a lot of criticism.

Jaan Se Pyara Juni

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Jaan Se Pyara Juni starring Zahid Ahmed, Hira Mani and Mamya Shajaffar started off great. It had a small town vibe with a story that connected everyone from the start. Very slow progression, unnecessary twists and turning the characters upside down put many people off. Jaan Se Pyara Juni is another Pakistani drama that could not maintain the pace and tempo that it started with.

Radd

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Radd was another drama with a good cast and its heart in the right place, but this show could never decide who to keep as the main villain. The characters kept reaching extremes without proper explanations. No one could understand the motivations for Arsalan Naseer’s character, and Radd ended with our hero taking a mental health break while he did not even know that his wife was pregnant. It was a roller coaster that went down the wrong track.

Akhara

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Akhara is among the Pakistani dramas that brought a new soul to story-telling. It features a village setting, the rural culture of Punjab, the fitness that all the male leads bring to the screens, and a very emotional death scene. All was going well for Akhara, but the makers suddenly felt the need to turn it into a full-blown romance in the end, which was not its basic theme. It is a very good Pakistani drama that disappointed fans in the end.

Mannat Murad

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Pakistani dramas this season spoke about emotional abuse too and Mannat Murad was one such show. Mannat Murad looked like a light watch when it was released but it turned into an emotional melodrama that was getting on everyone’s nerves in the end. People had different thoughts about the show throughout its run and it kept drifting from one pathway to another.

Jafaa

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Jafaa is another Pakistani drama that was able to connect with the audience. Fans loved the show but as usual, once again the makers made a very green flag character take a drastic turn and Numair became something no one wanted him to become. The character Andaleeb is also very unpredictable and she decided to leave her baby just so she can commit suicide for a situation that she was not responsible for.

22 Qadam

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

22 Qadam stood out as a drama promoting women empowerment, with a strong premise and inspiring moments. However, it struggled with unnecessary dragging, ultimately taking the story off track and diluting its impact. Although it had the potential to leave a lasting impression, many viewers felt let down by the inconsistent execution. Wahaj Ali’s fans were especially dissatisfied with how his character arc developed, feeling it lacked the depth and growth they expected.

Adawat

2024 Pakistani Dramas That Went Off Track

Adawat was another drama that garnered high ratings and significant viewership. Pakistani dramas across various time slots are attracting large audiences, but they sometimes stray from the core storyline that initially engaged viewers. This was the case with Adawat, as it lost the direction it had established at the beginning, leaving fans disappointed.

This concludes the list of 2024 Pakistani dramas that began with strong potential but faltered along the way. These Pakistani dramas initially captured audiences with engaging storylines and compelling characters but struggled to stay consistent. While some managed to retain their popularity due to loyal fanbases or standout performances, most lost the interest of viewers as they drifted away from their original appeal. This trend highlights the importance of maintaining narrative focus to sustain audience engagement.

Which other Pakistani dramas were watchable at the beginning but lost track in the later half of 2024? Share in comments!

Out of all the dramas that will air in the first season of 2022, Hum Tum is perhaps the most anticipated one. The reason for this is that Ahad Raza Mir will be finally appearing on television after being away from the screen for almost 2 years! Ahad Raza Mir’s popularity is unprecedented therefore any drama with him in the star cast guarantees viewership. Since Ahad is also one of those actors who choose the dramas they star in really carefully, entertainment is also guaranteed. This would also be the first time that Ahad Raza Mir will be seen in a rom-com. Apart from Ahad Raza Mir, Ramsha Khan is another actress whose pairing with Ahad has the viewers excited.

2021 Pakistani Dramas We Are Waiting To Watch

Pakistani drama industry is now producing more dramas now than ever before. It won’t be wrong to say that the new decade is already off to a great start for both Pakistani industries as well as the drama viewers because a lot of promising plays are in the pipeline. Each year, the Pakistani drama industry outdoes itself, and just going by the minute details that we have of the upcoming dramas, we can totally see it happening this year as well. One thing worthy of notice is that in almost all the upcoming dramas, the viewers are going to come across some fresh pairing and on-screen couples that they have not seen before. It makes everything all the very exciting and makes us anticipate these dramas even more.

Here is the list of Pakistani dramas that we are waiting to watch in early 2021:

[lwptoc]

Raqeeb Se

Writer: Bee Gul
Director: Kashif Nisar
Producer: Momina Duraid
Channel: HUM

The team behind one of the most powerful dramas of the present time, Dar Si Jati Hei Sila, is back with another drama Raqeeb Se which will be airing soon on HUM. Bee Gul is known for her unique writing style; her stories are always hard-hitting and engaging. Kashif Nisar’s name guarantees a well-crafted story since he puts his heart and soul into every single one of his projects. Raqeeb Se promos piqued our interest even more since apart from the experienced actors such as Nauman Ijaz and Sania Saeed, singer Hadiqa Kiyani’s acting debut seems to be something worth looking forward to. Hadiqa Kiyani is a singer, who is just as well-known for her style as she is for her vocals, yet she decided to make her debut with a role that lacks glamour altogether. It is always great to see artists making such debuts because it goes to show that they take their craft seriously.

The promos of Raqeeb Se suggest it is going to be yet another unusual story by Bee Gul. Iqra Aziz also has the same screen presence in the promos which she had in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. After Jhooti, we really want to see Iqra Aziz utilizing her talent aptly. We have our reservations about Hamza Sohail but we are definitely waiting to find out if he manages to impress in this debut performance or not. The main attractions are definitely the writer and the director since they always deliver. The promos have a haunting, realistic, and even warm feel to them which is why we are quite sure that Raqeeb Se has what it takes to be the kind of drama worth tuning into and looking forward to. Saqib Sameer, Saba Faisal, Faryal Mehmood, and Salman Shahid will also be seen playing supporting characters in the drama.

Pehli Si Mohabbat

Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Anjum Shehzad
Producer: iDream Entertainment
Channel: ARY Digital

Aunn Zara, Shayyad, and Dil Lagi are a few of the many love stories penned down by Faiza Iftikhar; a writer who makes sure that each one of the romantic stories written by her breaks stereotypes in some way or the other. The promos suggest that Pehli Si Mohabbat has all the ingredients to be the kind of drama that will turn out to be a powerful romantic story and perhaps a social drama as well that will be a refreshing change from all the other upcoming dramas which are a completely different genre. Maya Ali was exceptional in Mera Naam Yousuf Hei and since this is her comeback drama we expect her to give it her best. Her scenes in the promos of the drama promise a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Sheheryar Munawwar will also be making his comeback on television and this time around the character he is playing seems to be different from the ones we watched him play before. He is known for playing characters that are more subtle and mellowed down but the promos suggest this romantic hero is not going to settle for less.

The promos of the drama are also visually pleasing; Anjum Shehzad excels at paying attention to visual details in particular. HSY will be making his debut with this drama and just like Hadiqa Kiyani, he has chosen to play a role that is completely opposite to his real-life personality. Pehli Si Mohabbat will clearly be a story such as Pyare Afzal and Mera Naam Yousuf Hei which kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. Since Faiza Iftikhar’s dramas always have happy endings, we are hoping to have an experience similar to that of Dil Lagi. The script has an old-school romance feel but the treatment given to the script seems to be new! We cannot wait to tune into this one.

Dil Na Umeed Tu Nahi

Writer: Amna Mufti
Director: Kashif Nisar
Producer: Kashf Foundation
Channel: TV One

We were already waiting for this drama to air since it has been written by Amna Mufti; a writer who has written the most meaningful scripts and always uses her talent for much more than just entertainment. She doesn’t write too often therefore whenever she comes up with something new, it is always a well-thought-out idea. Since this drama has been directed by Kashif Nisar, we have every reason to believe that it will be just as hard-hitting and powerful as Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi. Kashf Foundation has also been behind some of the best dramas therefore we are really excited that this season we will get to watch a drama that serves a higher purpose. The only downside is that the drama will be airing on TV One, a channel which makes barely any effort to promote even the best of dramas.

Nauman Ijaz, Yumna Zaidi, Omair Rana, Sammiya Mumtaz, Noor Hassan, Kashif Mehmood, Yasra Rizvi, Wahaj Ali are some of those actors who are on the top of their game at the moment. Yumna Zaidi can clearly be seen in a role that offers something new. We all know that she is one of those actresses who can easily nail any role she decides to take up. The drama will highlight the evil of human trafficking among other things. It is also apparent from the promos that just like always Amna Mufti will once again question some of the stereotypes that exist in our society. We loved some of the questions raised by the writer in the drama serial Zun Mureed therefore we are definitely going to be watching this one for quality content.

Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3

Writer: Hashim Nadeem
Director: Wajahat Hussain
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment
Channel: Geo Entertainment

It won’t be wrong to say that Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 happens to be one of the highly anticipated dramas of this year. The moment it was announced that Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz were pairing for the third season of Khuda Aur Mohabbat, the viewers begin to have high expectations. The initial two seasons had the pairing of Imran Abbas and Sadia Khan and was loved by the audience because of how the story explored love and spirituality. Although the viewers are very much aware of the basic concept of the love story with the undertone of spirituality that this drama is also going to have, the teasers promised a lot more than what was expected.

The three teasers of Khuda Aur Mohabbat Season 3 that have been released so far are nothing short of amazing. The most interesting part is that for the first time probably, none of the promos have actually given away the story. They have only shown different avatars of the characters played by Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz and some of the locations where this love story is going to flourish, with the railway station being the focal point because that played an important part in the initial seasons too. Khuda Aur Mohabbat was mostly shot in Bhawalpur therefore the team has brought to life the essence of that city and it can already be felt in the promos. This is definitely the drama that has must-watch written all over it.

Chupke Chupke

Writer: Saima Akram Chauhdry
Director: Danish Nawaz
Producer: Momina Duraid
Channel: Hum TV

After the success of Suno Chanda, the writer of the serial came up with a new script, a new idea, and a fresh cast. It is unfortunate that because of the lockdown this drama could not air in 2020 which otherwise would’ve been a Ramzan special. However, the good news is that the team has once again resumed the shooting and they are working on the project. It is already foreseeable that it will air in Ramzan this year and those who loved Suno Chanda can definitely have high expectations from this.

2021 Pakistani Dramas We Are Waiting To Watch

The drama serial Chupke Chupke is going to be a comedy revolving around two families. The fans of Suno Chanda will definitely find a lot of similarities considering it is coming from the same writer. However, after Khaas and Kashf, Danish Nawaz is once again going back to his old ways of directing a comic play which he is already skilled at. Chupke Chupke also has a lot of hype because of the stunning actors who have chosen to be a part of this play. Ayeza Khan and Osman Khalid Butt will be seen as a lead pair and Arsalan Naseer of Comics By Arsalan is also making his acting debut with this drama. This is definitely another drama that is on our must-watch list this year.

2021 Pakistani Dramas We Are Waiting To Watch

Neeli Zinda Hai

Writer: Adeel Razzaq
Director: Qasim Ali Mureed
Producer: Six Sigma Production
Channel: Ary Digital

Drama serial Neeli Zinda Hai stars Mohib Mirza, Sana Javed, and Sonia Mishal in leading roles. Sana Javed will play the role of Neeli, which goes to show that she is going to be the central character and the story will revolve around her. The drama serial Neeli Zinda Hai got a lot of popularity because the previous recent projects of both Sana Javed and Mohib Mirza, namely Ruswai and Dushman e Jaan were superhit serials. The audience loved their acting and also felt that they both have been rightfully selective about their projects, therefore it sort of became a known fact that this drama would be different too considering how Sana and Mohib decided to be a part of it. Till now, not a lot of details are known about this drama but it is going to be a thriller and horror drama which will show Mohib Mirza and Sonia Mishal as a married couple with a child in the initial phase of the drama.

2021 Pakistani Dramas We Are Waiting To Watch 2021 Pakistani Dramas We Are Waiting To Watch

Amanat

Writer: Rukhsana Nigar
Director: Shafat Hussain
Producers: Next Level Productions
Channel: ARY Digital

This is yet another drama serial that we have on our must-watch list. It seems 2021 is going to be the year when the Pakistani drama audience will get to see new and fresh on-screen couples. After seeing Imran Abbas back to back with Ayeza Khan in Koi Chand Rakh and Thora Sa Haq, viewers are excited to see him pairing with a new actress. This drama once again has caught a lot of attention because of the star cast. Urwa Hocane is known for being very selective while picking quality projects. Saboor Aly has become the new sensation because she finally emerged as a front-runner in her currently on-air drama Fitrat. Imran Abbas already has a huge fandom and is a big name in the Pakistani drama industry, therefore it is a given that this drama is going to be quite promising. So far not a lot of details about Amanat have been revealed except that the drama is being shot in both Karachi and Islamabad.

2017 Dramas Worth A Binge-Watch

This year there were quite a few dramas which were not entirely flawless but they should definitely not be missed. The stories of these dramas were intriguing enough to keep the viewers looking forward to more but at the same time either the direction was not up to the mark or there were times when they were dragged so much that some viewers chose to skip a few episodes. The best aspect of watching an entire show online is that the viewers have the option of skipping scenes and even entire episodes which do not contribute a lot to the story and watch what happened next. When you are a watching a drama which is on air, you don’t have that option which is why quite often viewers stop tuning into dramas which have a few weaknesses or test their patience. Some viewers might have skipped these dramas altogether, while others might have given up on them at one point, there would be some who watched them till the end and would agree that these dramas definitely shouldn’t be skipped altogether because they have more strengths than weaknesses.

Here is a list of dramas which are definitely worth a binge-watch!

Alif Allah Aur Insaan

Writer: Qaisra Hayat
Director: Ahson Talish
Producer: Momina Duraid Productions
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Mikaal Zulfiqar, Qavi Khan, Kubra Khan, Ushna Shah, Imran Ashraf, Shehzad sheikh and others

Unfortunately, if it wasn’t for the dragging and addition of unnecessary scenarios after the 20th episode, this drama would’ve made it to the list of best dramas of 2017 because it began on such a strong and promising note but went haywire due to unknown reasons. Alif Allah Aur Insaan can be binge watched because the initial episodes have all the ingredients of keeping you hooked. Phenomenal direction, amazing script and perfect performances will surely make you fall in love with this drama and will provide a perfect amount of entertainment. The story of this drama revolves around a lot such characters that are trying to chase after their dreams, dreams related to love, fame, money and success and to see their journey unfold is what makes this drama a unique experience. The way the director and the writer took care of the plot of the drama in the initial episodes made the viewers fall in love with this drama because all the characters not only got equal coverage but their tracks were dealt with immaculately as well. Sadly, because the producers are choosing not to end it at the right time, it seems like a better option to add its name in this list because now the drama is at such a stage where watching it on a weekly basis is not that appealing. So, those who are on the fence about it and want to give it a go, we say you should wait and start watching it after it ends.

2017 Dramas Worth A Binge-Watch

Yaar-e-Bewafa

Writer: Mohsin Ali
Director: Zeeshan Ali
Producer: Wajahat Rauf
Channel: Geo TV
Cast: Imran Abbas, Arij Fatyma, Sarah Khan, Saleem Mairaj, Samina Ahmed and others

This drama isn’t commercial nor its fancy but it is a very simple and realistic portrayal of the struggles people belonging to middle class experience in their lives. This story showcases how some people dream big and literally compromise everything to chase after those dreams while others despite not having much do everything to hold onto what belongs to them. The fact that this drama has very few characters contributes towards an extremely slow pace of the drama, therefore despite being a decent watch, tuning to it week after week for one slow episode after another doesn’t make it a good drama watching experience. This drama should definitely not be missed in case of binge watching because it is a very decent watch and that is the only way to enjoy the decent entertainment it provides. This drama will definitely strike a chord because the way the emotions have been portrayed in it and for that reason, it should be watched.

2017 Dramas Worth A Binge-Watch

Nazr-e-Bad

Writer: Imran Nazeer
Director: Iqbal Hussain
Producer: Moomal Entertainment
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Azfar Rehman, Sarah Khan, Ali Abbas, Sakina Samo and others

This drama once again started on a very convincing and realistic note because in the initial episodes, it was too obvious that both the writer and the director had full grip on the story and most importantly the concept that they were trying to elaborate through this drama. However, when this drama garnered a lot of attention, the producers decided to drag it by adding one character after another, one scenario after another which literally ruined the charm that this drama once had. This drama definitely unveiled the darkness that is prevalent in our society in a very convincing manner and for that reason solely, we recommend this drama for binge watching because later when the pace gets slow and the story loses its track, those episodes can be easily skipped but this drama on the whole is definitely worth a watch because the team of this drama tried to bring something new to the table and they did a brilliant job.

Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hei

Writer: Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar
Director: Farooq Rind
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment
Channel: Geo
Cast: Ayeza Khan, Imran Abbas, Shehzad sheikh,Saba Faisal, Kinza Hashmi, Haroon Kadwani, Saman Ansari, Beena Chaudhary, Faryal Mehmood , Sabreen Hisbani, Khalid Malik and others.

As the title of the drama suggests this is yet another script written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar which explores love, this time from a completely different angle. Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hei was stretched beyond limit at one point which is why it did not make it to the best dramas list. It should however not be missed because the first few episodes and the last 10 weeks of this drama are absolutely remarkable. The director however failed to do justice to Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s powerful script. The intricate storyline and a climax which is completely worth the wait are the main reasons why MTSNH is in this list. Imran Abbas and Ayeza Khan’s on-screen chemistry and their impressive performances are another reason why this play is a must-watch. The OST of MTSNH will blow you away and the dialogues in the last few episodes in particular will leave you speechless!

Titlee

Writer: Samina Ejaz
Director: Ahmed Bhatti
Producer: Gold Bridge Media
Channel: Urdu1
Cast: Ali Abbas, Hania Aamir, Saba Faisal, Emmad Irfani, Tauqeer Ahmed, Shameen Khan, Abid Ali, Naeem Tahire and others.

Titlee as a whole was an entertaining show, it was one of those rare plays which you watch only for their entertainment value and for the most part, it delivers. Although Titlee wasn’t perfect throughout and even the characters were black and white but the way these characters were presented on screen made the viewers connect to them. Strong main characters with definite characteristics played by Hania Aamir and Ali Abbas superbly are the main reasons why Titlee wasn’t just another drama which showed problems of marital life. Also, most often in our dramas, women are shown as victims in a relationship and they are the ones compromising but in this drama the man was the real victim and even though he compromised so much he couldn’t win over his wife. The fast-paced first 15 episodes or so keep you hooked and wanting to see more. This drama also has a good ending. It is an ultimate guilty pleasure, not to be missed!

Noor-e-Zindagi

Writer: Sarwat Nazir
Director: Siraj-ul-Haq
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment
Channel: Geo
Cast: Aisha Khan, Syed Jibran, Shakeel, Noman Habib, Faria Sheikh, Sajida Syed, Humera Bano, Saleem Mairaj, Somi Dawood and others.

Noor-e-Zindagi’s basic plot was clichéd to the core but the main reason why this drama deserves a watch is the chemistry between Syed Jibran and Aisha Khan. Also, although Noor was the perfect wife, daughter and sister in law but she was never a door mat. The way she fought to keep her marriage intact was almost endearing and refreshing to watch. Noor-e-Zindagi has some interesting twists and turns, few remarkable performances and characters which are relatable. Like many other plays on this list, this drama was dragged at a certain point but overall it was interesting and shouldn’t be missed. Anyone who wants to forget that Aisha Khan played a fickle character like that of Jeena should definitely watch this one!

Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hei

Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Badar Mehmood
Producer: Big Bang Entertainment
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Saima Noor, Sajid Hasan, Sabreen Hisbani, Ayesha Khan, Naheed Shabbir, Ali Abbas, Akhter Hasnain, Mariam Ansari, Saboor Ali, Farah and others.

This year the viewers got to see many dramas in which women played the victim but Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hei is the story of a victim who chose to be a fighter. Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hei was one of those few dramas this year which gave a strong message of women empowerment. The title of the drama too is far more meaningful than it appears to be. Faiza Iftikhar’s well-thought-out script, Saima Noor’s character and her performance are the main reasons why this drama shouldn’t be missed. This play could have been a blockbuster had the cast been chosen more wisely and if the pace of the drama did not slow down after every 5 weeks or so. Even though this drama had its weaknesses but overall it was a good watch.

Sun Yaara

Writer: Asia Mirza
Director: Danish Nawaz
Producer: Six Sigma Plus
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Junaid Khan,Hira Salman, Zarnish Khan, Faris Shafi, Ghana Ali, Hassan Niazi, Minal Khan, Asim Mehmood, Ismat Iqbal, Nida Mumtaz, Laila Wasti, Samina Ahmed, Maham Javed, Qaiser Khan Nizamani.

The drama mainly revolves around a family and explores the relationships of the four siblings amongst themselves and their love interests/spouses. The cast comprises of well known faces such as Hira Mani, Zarnish Khan and Junaid Khan. While the story is nothing extraordinary, the execution of the drama itself makes for a pleasant experience. One would not count the days waiting for the next episode to air weekly but factors that make this drama entertaining and perfect for a binge-watch are the multiple tracks running alongside each other, the acting, the realistic portrayal or emotions and family dynamics and wonderful direction. There is humor, heartbreak, scandal, grief – but all of it in moderate doses so that one is drawn in but not overly overwhelmed when watching. The OST is beautiful too which is a plus. Those who have read the novel would most likely beg to differ to the above opinion as but for those who have not – save a few drags here and there- Sun Yaara makes for a decent time pass.

Tumhare Hein

Writer: Parisa Siddiqui
Director: Shehrazade Sheikh
Producer: Show Case Presentation
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Agha Ali, Sarah Khan, Rubab Hashim, Ahmed Hassan, Hassan Ahmed, Behroz Sabzwari, Huma Nawab, Shaheen Khan, Birjees Farooqui and others.

The drama focuses on four young people Rayan, Zoya, Aania and Kamil and their relationships with each other. The story isn’t unusual and although the viewer is led down an almost predictable path, the chemistry between the four main characters and their realistic depiction of emotions on screen make the drama a decent watch. It is always refreshing to watch a drama where one is shown how people actually react to feelings that arise from within or face obstacles that life throws at them rather than becoming a pawn or victim of situations shaped by a scheming mother in law or a vengeful ex fiancée! Rabab Hashim, Agha Ali, Sara Khan and Ahmed Hassan were the perfect choices for their characters and made you relate to them. If you have time to kill and want to watch a drama which is not heavy duty yet engaging, Tumhare Hein is a safe option.

2017 – Film Debuts

0

The year 2017 has been a mixed year for Pakistani cinema. Many new comers as well as established artists started their silver screen career this year. While it was successful for some, for few it proved a bumpy ride. Here is a compilation of names who started their big screen journey in the year 2017. The list includes the prominent artists, directors and writers. Adding the name of all the debutants of 2017 will make a huge list, so only prominent names are included here.

All the names are listed in the chronological order (from January 2017 – December 2017). The films in the month of December are releasing in the very last week, but the names of debutants in the December’s film are also included in this article.

Bilal Abbas Khan
Bilal Abbas Khan has rose to fame in a short span of time, by working in some prominent dramas. Bilal also started his silver screen career this year from Thora Jee Le (TJL). TJL was the first Pakistani film released in the 2017 in the month of January. TJL proved an immature attempt of film making and was heavily criticized by the critics as well as cine goers. Bilal played the main lead and his performance was satisfactory, but not enough to save the disjointed film like Thora Jee Le.

2017 - Film Debuts

Rizwan Ali Jaffri
Rizwan Ali Jaffri is a model, actor and singer active in showbiz for past many years. His debut film TJL released in 2017. TJL was not successful and so does Rizwan Ali Jaffri. His performance as the lead in the film was quite immature. He looked stiff and pointless throughout the film

.2017 - Film Debuts

Ramsha Khan
Ramsha Khan is a new comer working in many television dramas. Her debut film TJL released in 2017. Though the film failed but Ramsha’s performance was satisfactory in the film and she confidently carried the role of a working woman as well a mother of one daughter.

2017 - Film Debuts

Haisam Hussain
Haisam Hussain is a trademark in itself who directed some marvelous dramas like Dastan. After television, Haisam also directed his first film Balu Mahi release in the February 2017. Technically his first Urdu film was Bin Roye (2015) which he left midway and later the film was completed by Shahzad Kashmiri and Momina Duraid and the credits of Bin Roye also mentioned these two as director.

Haisam Hussain did complete justice to Balu Mahi and his direction was praised by all the prominent film critics, bloggers and film writers. However despite this Balu Mahi failed to register any considerable success at the box office. The timing of the film clashed with Pakistan Super League (PSL), the premier sporting event of our country which could be a major factor the film struggled at the box office.

2017 - Film Debuts

 

Sadaf Kanwal
Sadaf Kanwal is a leading model of recent years. She also started her big screen journey from the film Balu Mahi as the second heroine. Though Balu Mahi failed at the box office, Sadaf Kanwal looked pretty and glamorous on big screen and have the aura of a big screen star.

Sahir Lodhi
Sahir Lodhi is one of the prominent personality known more for their controversies rather achievements. Sahir is a multi-dimensional personality. After writing, direction, hosting, singing, acting on television,radio hosting Sahir finally bestowed the silver screen through Raasta released in March 2017. Sahir made multiple debuts as lead hero, director, writer, producer of Raasta. Sahir also announced to use all the profit of Rasta for charity as well as to further produce a prequel/sequel of Raasta.

Sahir has a huge following as his television shows get ratings as well considerable followers on the social media. But all those fans turned a cold shoulder towards Raasta as it proved a disaster at box office. Sahir’s pleasant dream of ruling the big screen (like he is ruling the tv, radio, social media etc.) proved a nightmare. Raasta was heavily criticized by the film critics and bloggers and in return Sahir also blasted away all the critics through live press conferences on social media and his television show. Sahir declared the film critics as agents of neighboring country India who do not want the local film industry to prosper as well insulting those who watched Raasta.

2017 - Film Debuts

2017 - Film Debuts

Ahmad Taha Ghani

This year she also started her acting career from the film Punjab Nahin Jaungi.

2017 - Film Debuts

Naveed Shahzad
Naveed Shahzad started her acting career from television in 1970s. She has worked in very few dramas. Her most prominent role in a drama was in Ghulam Gardish in 1990s. A gifted artist, it is an irony that many splendid artists of past have not worked in any Pakistani film. The obvious reason is the declining Urdu cinema in 1980s. With the revival of Urdu cinema many such artists are now working in films.

She worked in her first film Punjab Nahin Jaungi released in September 2017. She appeared as the grand mother of the heroine Mehwish Hayat and completely justified her selection with her perfect performance.

Marina Khan mesmerized many back in 1980s with dramas like Tanhaiyan and Dhoop Kinare. Marina has not worked in any film till Namalood Afraad 2 released in September 2017.

Faizan has also signed a Bollywood film few years ago though it was never released. Faizan is also working in his first film Chuppan Chupai in the role of a son of a politician who is kidnapped.

2017 - Film Debuts

Rehan Sheikh
Rehan Sheikh is one of the most polished and versatile artist of our country who own every character they have performed. He has worked in many dramas since mid 1990s where Aghosh was his first major drama. Rehan Sheikh’s first film was Actor In Law, where he appeared in a small role of a lawyer.

Mohsin has earlier written the film Wrong No (2015).Now his first film as director is Chuppan Chuppai which is a comedy film.

2017 - Film Debuts

So it ends my compilation of the prominent debuts in the year 2017. Since 2013 (with the so called revival of our cinema), almost every other Pakistani film consists of new faces. So every year we have many new debuts in the films, though most of these debutants have already been active in showbiz for past many years. This year too a mix of new and seasoned artists started their big screen career.

Do share your thoughts on the film debuts of 2017. Especially which one is the most impressive debut in your opinion.

Thanks for reading and your time.

2017 – Film Comebacks

0

In the year 2017 few artists and film makers were seen after a gap of few years on big screen. The comeback on big screen was pleasant for some of them or in some cases it was not much successful.

Here is a compilation of the artists who made a comeback in films, where I have chosen of gap of three or more years as the criteria of the comeback. The list includes artists, writers and directors. Name of Shaan Shahid is added twice in this compilation; as an actor and director.

Ainny Jaffri
Ainny Jaffri’s first film was Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi released in August 2013 in which she appeared as second heroine. After a gap of almost four years, her second film Balu Mahi as lead heroine released in February 2017. Paired opposite Osman Khalid Butt, Balu Mahi failed to perform at the Box office. Thus Ainny’s return to the big screen is not a successful one.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Qavi Khan
Qavi Khan is a seasoned artist of theater, radio, films and television. He returned to big screen with a supporting role from the film Mehrunnisa V Lub U (MVLU) released on Eidul Fitr on 26th June 2017. Though the film proved successful his role has limited screen space and his potential was not fully utilized by the director.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Dr. Hassan Waqas Rana
Dr. Hassan Waqas Rana rose to fame when his debut films as producer Waar proved block buster in 2013 and became the highest earning Pakistani film of all times. Soon after the success of Waar, Dr. Hassan Waqar and the director Bilal Lashari developed some differences and parted their ways. In December 2013, Dr. Hassan Waqas announced his second film Yalghaar as director,producer and actor. After three and half years of production Yalghaar finally released in June 2017. Yalghaar marked the comeback of Dr. Hassan Waqas as producer and debut as director. The business of Yalghaar was below expectations and it failed to recover its costs. The direction and acting of Dr. Hassan Waqas in the film was also not much impressive.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Shaan Shahid (As Actor)
Shaan Shahid is undoubdtedly the only superstar of big screen of current era. Shaan is a brand identity of Pakistani Cinema. Shaan’s last film was O21 released in October 2014 which was not much successful. After a gap of almost three years Shaan’s next film Yalghaar is released on Eidul Fitr on 26th June 2017. Yalghaar was a multi-star cast film and presence of so many characters impacted all the characters in the film. Like all the other characters in the film, his character was also not fully discovered. Yalghaar is definitely not the best work of Shaan. Though Yalghaar earned around 20 crore which is a more than handsome earning at the limited screens of Pakistan but it failed to recover its expenses and thus proved a loss for the producer and the distributor.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Adil Murad
Adil Murad is the son of the late great Waheed Murad. As a teenager Adil worked as hero in his debut film Raja Sahib in 1996. Raja Sahib proved flop and Adil never worked further in any film. After a gap of two decades (21 years to be precise) Adil returned to big screen with Syed Noor’s Chain Aaye Na (CAN) released on 11th August 2017. Adil appeared as villain in this film opposite debutant Sarrish Khan. CAN proved a box office disaster and Adil’s return was not memorable though his own performance was satisfactory.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Syed Noor (Director/Writer)
Syed Noor has been a pillar of the dwindling film industry based in Lahore in 1990s. His film in 1990s helped the film industry to survive another decade before film making in Lahore completely halted in the mid 2000’s. In 1990s his films Jeeva, Sargam, Sangam, Ghoonghat, Chor Machaye Shor, Hawain, Choorian revived the film business. 1990s will surely be remembered as the decade of Syed Noor in the film history of Pakistan.

Syed Noor’s last Urdu film Jhoomer was released in 2007, while his last Punjabi film was Shareeka in 2013. This year Syed Noor returned to big screen with the Urdu film Chain Aaye Na (CAN) released on 11th August 2017. Since its trailer release in June 2017, CAN was heavily criticized on social media and online showbiz blogs. The film production style was outdated, acting, treatment, choreography, music all aspects failed to impress. Syed Noor tried to reuse the success formula of 1980s and 1990s which failed badly. The multiplex’s audience of current era are quite different from the single screen cinema’s audience of past and perhaps Syed Noor failed to predict this huge audience gap. The audience paying ticket price of Rs. 500 – 700 perhaps has different demandsfrom the past year single screen crowd paying Rs. 20-50 per ticket. Thus Syed Noor’s comeback to the big screen was quite disappointing.

Khalilur Rehman Qamar (Writer)
Khalilur Rehman Qamar is a writer who also directed and acted on television. He wrote films as well as dramas. He joined the film industry in the late 1990s when film making in Lahore was near its extinction. He wrote films Qarz (Urdu-1997), Ishq Na Puchay Zaat (Punjabi-Unreleased), Nikki Jai Haan (Punjabi-1999) and Koi Tujh Sa Kahan (Urdu-2005).

After a gap of around 12 years he again wrote a film Punjab Nahin Jaungi (PNJ) released on 1st September 2017. PNJ proved smashing hit, the most successful film of the year 2017. KRQ’s dialogs and script proved the major highlight of the film. The story of the film was relatively simple but the well crafted characters, situations and powerful dialogs made it a worthwhile watch. KRQ’s return to the big screen was definitely impactful and cemented his place as a successful film writer.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Saba Hameed
Saba Hameed is a seasoned artists who worked on television and theater since 1979. Saba has worked in very few films. Her debut film was Main Ek Din Laut Ke Aoungaa (2007) in which she played the role of Humayun Saeed’s mother. Her second film was Good Morning Karachi (2013) in which she played the role of mother of the heroine Aamna Ilyas. Saba returned to big screen in 2017 with the film Punjab Nahin Jaungi, where she again appeared as mother of Humayun Saeed. Saba’s character was colorful and well etched out. She indeed did justice to the role and the success of the film made it a memorable comeback.

Shoaib Mansoor
Shoaib Mansoor is known for his selective and quality work. His first film as a director was Khuda Ke Liye in 2007 while Bol (2011) was his second film. With a decade long career in film making his third film Verna released this year.

His films are not mainstream commercial films and mostly covers the dark social issues. Despite the dark theme his script is not too preachy and conveniently delivers the intended message. However Verna proved a disappointment on many levels when compared to the previous two films of Shoaib. So the comeback of Shoaib received mixed response.

Rasheed Naz

Rasheed Naz is a seasoned artist who has worked in the films and dramas. His most prominent role in the Urdu films was the role of a religious leader in Khuda Kay Liye (KKL) in 2007. After KKL, he has not worked in any prominent role in any Urdu film. Rasheed returned to Urdu cinema with Verna. Unlike KKL here his role was brief as a cunning lawyer which he successfully delivered.

2017 - Film Comebacks

So it concludes the list of comebacks in the films released till November 2017. The films releasing in the month of the December are scheduled in the last week on 21st December and 29th December. The artists who will make comebacks from these films are mentioned next. Since these films are not yet released it is too early to comment whether the comeback is successful or not.

Tanveer Jamal

Tanveer Jamal is also a seasoned artists who have worked in many television plays since 1990. Tanveer has worked in only one film to date which was Zor (1998). Zor was directed by Syed Noor and Tanveer Jamal played a supporting role in it.

After almost two decades (19 years to be precise), Tanveer Jamal is returning to Urdu films from Rangreza releasing on 21st December 2017. Tanveer Jamal is playing the role of the father of Gohar Rasheed in this film.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Shaan Shahid (As Director)
Shaan Shahid also made a comeback as a director in 2017 with Arth The Destination(December 2017). Shaan started his career as a director from the Urdu film Guns N Roses Ek Junoon in 1999 which performed average at the box office. His second film as director, Mujhe Chaand Chahiye (2000) proved super hit and his most successful film as director. Moosa Khan (2001) and Daku (2002) were his two other Urdu films as director. In 2009 he directed Zille Shah, his first Punjabi film as a director.

With Arth The Destination, Shaan is returning to the direction after a gap of almost 8 years. Arth The Destination is a remake of Indian film Arth released in 1982.

As an actor Shaan has successfully transitioned into the new age Urdu cinema from the old defunct cinema. While many other names of 1990s cinema like Syed Noor, Sangeeta, Syed Faisal Bukhari have failed to get themselves aligned with the new age cinema, Shaan has been successful in both 1990s and now.

As a director, Arth The Destination will decide whether Shaan is also successful as a director in this new era of cinema or not.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Sakina Sammo
Sakina Sammo is a polished and versatile artist of our country who started her acting career from the PTV Karachi center. She rose to nation wide fame in the 1980s from dramas like Jungle and Deewarain. Back in 1980s Sakina also worked in few Urdu films like Badla in 1987. It was a time when Urdu cinema was declining while the success of the regional cinema of Punjabi and Pashto has eclipsed the Urdu cinema as well. Sakina never worked in any further films.

After a gap of almost three decades Sakina is returning to the big screen through film Chuppan Chupai releasing on the 29th December 2017. The film will release in few weeks time, and hopefully Sakina will make a memorable comeback and continue working in films.

2017 - Film Comebacks

Ahsan Khan

Ahsan Khan has been active in the films and television from mid 1990s. He started his career from films and with decline in the film production shifted his focus to television. His last film in a prominent role was the Punjabi film Ishq Khuda (2013). He then appeared in a cameo in film Sultanat (2015).

Ahsan Khan is also returning to the big screen in the lead role from Chuppan Chupai due to release on 29th December 2017. Ahsan Khan is paired with Neelum Munir in this film.

2017 - Film Comebacks

So it concludes my compilation of the comebacks in films in 2017. It is really encouraging to see that some polished names of our showbiz like Saba Hameed, Waseem Abbas, Rasheed Naz, Sakina Sammo, Khalilur Rehman Qamar have returned to the Urdu cinema. Hopefully the film makers provide these and other artists with meatier roles.

On the other end, the most discouraging comeback was made by Syed Noor who wasted the producer’s resources on a film like CAN. The treatment and execution of CAN was quite out dated and was not at par with the films of current era. Syed Noor has a legacy of his own, so he should either improve his film making style or restrict himself to writing only.

Another disappointing comeback was of Shoaib Mansoor who is known for his selected work. Verna is definitely his weakest work to date.

The return of Dr Hassan Waqas Rana as a producer (debut as director) was also not much impressive. As Yalghaar has many loopholes in all the areas.

Do comment about which comeback was the most impressive? Which artists you want to see again in the films?

Thanks for your time and reading

2017 – Banned films

The year 2017 is concluding in a weeks time. With respect to cinema it has been a mixed year where very few films were able to succeed. Bollywood films which are the backbone of the cinema business also failed to repeat the success of 2016.

Like every year there were films which were banned or stuck in the censor board. Few films were released after countering the objections of the censor board.

The authority of giving screening certificates to the films (local or foreign) lies with the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC). CBFC headquarter is in Islamabad and it also had regional sub-offices in Karachi and Lahore. CBFC members are appointed by government its members come from diverse backgrounds like civil servants, civil society, law enforcement institutions, journalists, law makers, artists, writers or film makers.

In 2011, after the 18th amendment of the constitution is passed, the right of film certificate and censor is delegated to the provinces. So each province can form its own censor board, however in absence of any board CBFC will continue their authority over the province. Since 2011 the provinces of Punjab and Sindh have established their censor boards, so at the moment three censor boards are functioning in our country.

Punjab Board of Film Censors (PBFC) has authority over the whole province of Punjab excluding the cantonment areas.
Sindh Board of Film Censor (SBFC) has authority over the whole province of Sindh excluding the cantonment areas
Central Board of Film Censors has authority over all the cantonment areas, Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), Federal areas of FATA, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir. Since the provinces of KPK and Balochistan has not established their censor boards so CBFC also has authority over these provinces, until they setup their own boards.

Constitutionally all three boards are independent, but in practice the PBFC and SBFC follow the guideline of CBFC. If CBFC refuses to issue the screening certificate to a film, normally PBFC and SBFC also follow the same trend. There are few exceptions as well like Urdu film Swaarangi (2015) was allowed screening certificates by SBFC and PBFC, but CBFC refused its screening. In 2013, PBFC refused to issue the screening certificate to a Bollywood film Jolly LLB declaring it an all and all obscene film. But CBFC allowed the screening of the same film. As a result the film was screened in the cantonment areas of all the cities of Punjab, however it was not released in the cinemas outside the cantonment areas in the same city.

Historically CBFC is considered the most strict board out of all the three boards as many times a film cleared from the PBFC, SBFC fails to clear the CBFC criteria. CBFC is often criticized for its inconsistent behavior with respect to films certification.

In order to screen a locally produced film it must get a screening certificate from any of these three film certification boards. For the foreign films an additional step is required. At the first step the distributor writes to the Federal Ministry of Commerce with the intention to import a film. After examining the content of the film the Ministry of Commerce issues a Non Objection Certificate (NOC) to the distributor and the film is imported. Once imported the film must obtain a screening certificate from any of the three functional Film Certification Boards like a local film. The film certification boards can also seek the advise of Federal Ministry of Information for the screening of a film if the board does not reach a decision about the screening of the film. The information ministry has the authority to revert the decision of the censor board at any time. So even if a film is allowed screening by the censor board, the information ministry can still revoke its certificate.

After initial review the censor board can object on the content of the film and asks the producer to cut the objectionable material. In such cases normally the censor board refers the film to full board, where film maker has the right to challenge the objections of the censor board. If film maker refuses to cut or alter the objectionable content, then censor board either refuses to issue the censor certificate or refers the case to the information ministry for the final decision.

The most common reason put forth by the censor board to ban a film is anti-Pakistan or anti-religion content. Historically CBFC has been quite strict on this, especially any foreign film having a reference to Pakistan or the religion Islam mostly comes under the axe. More than 95% films are banned for the very same reason. The second most common reason is the obscene or vulgar content but very few films are banned due to this reason.

This article is a compilation of such films which faced objections from the censor boards or information ministry in the year 2017. Few of these films were ultimately released after the desired cuts or after the appeal from the film makers.

Raees (Banned)
Bollywood’s Raees starring Shahrukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqi and Mahira Khan was due to release on 26th January 2017 on India’s Republic Day. The film was based on the story of a Muslim criminal in the Indian state of Gujarat. It was the first Bollywood film of Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan. In Pakistan its distributor was Eveready Pictures.

There was a self imposed ban placed on the screening of Indian films in October 2016 which later lifted in mid December 2016. Since December 2016, the cinemas started the screening of old Bollywood films already imported, as the import of the new Indian films was still in progress. In the start of January, government provided the NOC to import two Bollywood films Kaabil and Raees. Both to be released on 26th January 2017 where both were supposed to be the new films to be released after October 2016.

Traditionally Bollywood films starring the Khans (Salman, Shahrukh, Amir Khan) had a tremendous success record on Pakistani box office. The highest grossing Bollywood film of the year in Pakistan had always been a Khan starer film. Therefore Raees was termed as the potential winner of the box office and the most anticipated film of the year.

The film was duly imported and presented before the all three censor boards. PBFC and SBFC cleared the film without any major cut, but waited for the verdict of CBFC before issuing the screening certificate. However CBFC had a totally different point of view on the same film which passed the other two boards. Due to the very same reason the film’s release was shifted to next week on 3rd February 2017. Whereas the other film Kaabil was cleared by the censor boards and it became the first new Bollywood film to release in Pakistan after October 2016.

As per the press reports CBFC termed the content of the film as anti-Muslim, as the the main protagonist was a criminal from the Indian Muslim community. The film was referred to full board, however even full board had the same reservations and referred the case to the information ministry. The distributor eventually requested the Information Ministry to clear the film which in the end also favored the CBFC’s stance. Thus CBFC denied the screening certificate to Raees, a decision also followed by the PBFC and SBFC. For this ban, the inconsistent behavior of CBFC was widely discussed and criticized in the press.

So film termed as one of the most anticipated films of the year was not released in Pakistan. Worldwide and in India it proved super hit and Mahira Khan became the first Pakistani female artist to star in a 100crore club Bollywood film.

2017 - Banned films

Dangal (Refused censor certificate)
Bollywood’s Dangal starring Amir Khan was released in December 2016 at a time when the Indian films screening was facing a self imposed ban in Pakistan. The ban was lifted by the end of December 2016 and eventually new Bollywood films were released by the end of January 2017. In Pakistan its distributor was Geo Films.

Dangal proved blockbuster worldwide and once the ban on the Bollywood films was over the distributor decided to release it in Pakistan as well. In February 2017 the film was duly imported after receiving the NOC from the government. The film was supposed to release in early March 2017.

The film was cleared by the PBFC and SBFC but again stuck in CBFC. CBFC suggested few cuts in the film, the major cut was to remove or mute the Indian National Anthem at the climax of the film. The distributor consulted the respective Indian film maker who refused to go ahead with the suggested cuts. Amir Khan the protagonist of the film, publicly issued a statement refusing to cut the Indian National Anthem at the cost of releasing the film in Pakistan.

Thus CBFC and eventually PBFC, SBFC refused to issue the screening certificate to Dangal. After Raees, Dangal was another potential successful film which failed to pass the axe of the censors.

Despite this refusal, Dangal was screened on the television channel Urdu 1 on Eidul Fitr (in June 2017) and it aired the scenes which CBFC had found objectionable. PEMRA (the regulatory body of electronic media) issued show cause notice to the Urdu 1 on this breach of code of conduct.

2017 - Banned films

Naam Shabana (Banned after 1 day of release)
Bollywood’s Naam Shabana a spy thriller was released on 31st March 2017 in Pakistan. The film was duly imported after obtaining the NOC from the government and passed by all the censor boards in Pakistan. To everyone’s surprise the same board revoked the screening permission after one day of screening with the reason “it portrays Pakistan in bad taste”. The decision of the CBFC was ironic as the same board has reviewed and permitted the release of the film.

The whole saga again highlighted the inconsistent attitude on part of CBFC.

Raasta (Released after cuts)
Raasta was an Urdu film due to release on Pakistan Day on 23rd March 2017. Famous media personality Sahir Lodhi appeared as a writer,director, producer and hero in the film. The film also had a tough time with the censors which objected to the supposedly strong language in few dialogues and thus asked to cut the relevant scenes.

Sahir Lodhi being the film maker challenged the suggestion of the censor board, and pleaded his case before the full board. The situation delayed the release of the film by one week.
Eventually the film released with few cuts and proved flop.

2017 - Banned films

Viceroys House/Partition 1947 (Banned)
Viceroys House was a British-Indian film released in UK on 3rd March 2017 and on 18th August 2017 in India. The film was directed/produced by Gurrinder Chadha a British film director of Indian origin. It was based on the events during the partition of the Indian Subcontinent in 1947 at the end of the brutal and oppressive colonial rule by Britain.The last viceroy of the British India was Lord Mountbatten, whose incompetency resulted in worst riots and killings of million of people during the partition of 1947. Lord Mountbatten , was also shown in this historical fiction film along with the other prominent leader of that era like Jawaharlal Nehru, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

The film was criticized for showing fake history and not highlighting the British authorities incompetency in dealing with the widespread riots and killings. There were concerns over the accuracy of the events as well the anti Muslim narrative of the film. Fatima Bhutto accused the film’s British-Indian director, Gurinder Chadha, of seeming “to take pleasure in laying the bloodshed and brutality of 1947 at the feet of two particular villains: Muslims and Jinnah”. It was, she wrote, the product of “a deeply colonised imagination … [a] servile pantomime of partition”. (Source: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/mar/03/fatima-bhutto-viceroys-house-watched-servile-pantomime-and-wept)

2017 - Banned films

The film was released in India on 18th August 2017, with Hindi dubbing and renamed to Partiion 1947. In Pakistan, the status of the film “Partition 1947” release was not clear. The director Gurrinder Chadha tweeted that the film has been banned in Pakistan though there has been no official statement from the information ministry or any censor board on this. Following the story the English Daily, ET published the following remarks of SBFC, saying that the film has been refused the screening certificate.

Sindh Film Censor Board secretary Abdul Razzaq Khuhawar confirmed the news, citing the misrepresentation of Jinnah as the sole reason. “It’s a historical film and nothing negative is shown against Pakistan. The main reason for banning it was the misrepresentation of Quiad-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah,” he said.

“We felt his character was not portrayed correctly and it felt strange. Although the character only appears in a few scenes as the film mostly revolves around Lord Mountbatten, the actor didn’t look like Jinnah at all. If you had seen it, you couldn’t tell it was Jinnah. Otherwise, there were no issues with the film.”

The Sindh censors deemed it unsuitable, stating that “the political narrative contradicts the national interest of Pakistan.”

Namaloom Afraad2 (Banned for one day)
Namaloom Afraad2 an Urdu film, was released on Eidul Azha on 1st September 2017 after duly passed by all the three censor boards. The film proved successful and entered its fourth week when first the Punjab Government (through the information ministry) and revoked its screening certificate.

PBFC put forth the reason that the Punjab government had received numerous complaints of vulgar scenes and dialogs in the film and thus the film was denied screening. Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza the director and producer of the film respectively announced their displeasure through social media and to challenge the decision in the court. The information ministry of the Punjab government after revoking the screening license asked the PBFC to again review the film while considering the complaints and concerns it had received. To everyone’s surprise the PBFC reviewed the film and again allowed its screening without any cut.

So the screening of the film continued in Punjab after a one day ban.

2017 - Banned films

Verna (Stuck in the censors but later allowed screening)
Verna an Urdu film was released on the 17th November 2017. Being directed by Shoaib Mansoor, it was a highly anticipated film. As per press reports the film was cleared by PBFC and SBFC, but they waited the verdict of CBFC before issuing the formal permission. A film of revenge thriller genre, it covered multiple social evils prevailing in our society.

But CBFC raised multiple concerns on many dialogs, scenes and situation of the film. The film was referred to the full board for further review but again failed to get the permission without the intended cuts. The director/producer Shoaib Mansoor challenged the cuts suggested by the CBFC but failed to convince the board. However the board and film maker failed to reach on any agreement. As a result the planned premieres of the film were also cancelled. Thus the decision now lies with the Information Ministry.

The whole fiasco was also widely discussed on the social media. Few termed it all as a staged act to gain publicity for the film. After much debates in the media, the information ministry intervened and the film was cleared for screening by the CBFC without any cuts.

This act again raised questions on the eligibility of CBFC members. First CBFC was not adamant to release the film without cuts, and in the end cleared it without any cuts. Also once again a film cleared by PBFC and SBFC was stuck in CBFC.

2017 - Banned films

Tiger Zinda Hai (Refused NOC by the information ministry)
Tiger Zinda Hai was a Bollywood film due to release on 22nd December 2017, starring Salman Khan in the lead role. Bollywood films in general are very popular in Pakistan, specifically the Khan starrer movies. The Khan starer Bollywood films always prove successful in Pakistan.

As per the process, the distributor of the film applied for the NOC to import the film to the information ministry. The information ministry seek the advice of the CBFC which after review the available trailer of the film advised against the film. CBFC termed the film as anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim. Following CBFC’s advice the information ministry refused to issue the NOC and thus the film was not imported in Pakistan.

2017 - Banned films

So it completes the list of the films of 2017 which were banned or had issues with the censor boards. Seeing the history of the troubled films with censors, it is evident that most of the films pass SBFC and PBFC, but struggle at the censor table of CBFC.

Out of the all three boards, CBFC has been the most inconsistent with regards to its censor policy. Especially when a film is denied screening after it had received the censor certificate. Naam Shabana and Verna are prime example of such behavior.!

Do share your thoughts with respect to the censor criteria of our censor boards. Which films should qualify to be banned as per your opinion

Thanks for your time and reading.

2016 Dramas Worth A Binge Watch

Where our drama industry produces dramas on the two extremes of the spectrum, that being best & worst, it also produces such dramas that fall in the middle of the spectrum & provide quality entertainment to those viewers who tune to such dramas. 2016 wasn’t any different when it came to dramas like these because where we often discussed best & the worst dramas, we didn’t get a chance to speak about those drama serials that did well in terms of viewership & popularity. These dramas might not have been mega hits but most certainly kept the attention of the viewers intact due to several reasons like story, cast or characters.

A lot of times, people tune to dramas for the sake of passing their time & this year, we got a lot such dramas which could be labeled as guilty pleasures. Now when all those dramas have ended & if we look back, they qualify as worthy of being binge-watched because they did provide some entertainment & then nothing beats having an option of forward button with you while watching any such drama that you might find slowed down a bit at a certain stage.

So, here’s an alphabetically ordered list dedicated to those dramas that did well, provided some quality entertainment & are most certainly worthy of being binge-watched:

Aabro:

Written by: Qasira Hayat
Directed by: Ilyas Kashmiri
Produced by: Momina Duraid
Episodes: 23
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Eeshal, Farah Shah, Asma Abbas, Imran Ashraf, Noor Hassan, Ahmed Zeb, Zainab Saleem and others.

Aabro scores TOP position in the list, not only because of the name but also because of the popularity as despite being a typical story based on the lines of ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’, Aabro gained a lot of attention & hit home with the viewers. Aabro most certainly qualifies as such a drama that you can sit & enjoy with your mother because it showed a transition of different characters in such a way that our mothers are most likely going to have a good time relating to them & watching their journey.

Aabro was a story of two reckless & immature people Aabro & Ali who get married only to face the realities of life, but despite living a very tough life, they shape the character of their daughter in such a way that she earns them their long lost respect. In this drama, the aspect that actually seemed appreciable the most was the focus on empowering your children with education but it got lost in the middle of the family politics & the focus on the marriage of young characters, but thankfully the drama did end at such a note where they scored some brownie points by reinforcing the importance of education. Even though, initially, the drama might seem a bit loud & typical, but after a few episodes, everything fell into its place & as the sufferings of Ali & Aabro increased, it did make the viewers feel a bit emotional & heart-broken for them. The last episode was quite emotional & done really really well. Noor Hassan in particular & all the other actors owned their characters however, Eeshal did receive a lot of criticism on her flat acting. You might want to watch episodes 17-22 in fast forward mode but the last episode will surely blow you away.

01-aabro

Bheegi Palkein

Written by: Nuzhat Saman & Mansoor Ahmed Khan
Directed by: Furqan Khan
Produced by: Blockbusters Entertainment
Episodes: 29
Channel: Aplus
Cast: Faysal Qureshi, Ushna Shah, Affan Waheed, Faryal Mehmood, Shamim Hilali, Ismat Zaidi and others.

Like most of the dramas in this list Bheegi Palkein isn’t grand but it is definitely worth a watch especially when you are looking for meaningless entertainment. Faysal Qureshi is the USP of this drama therefore Faysal Qureshi’s fans should definitely watch this one. Also the negative character played by Faryal Mehmood is quite interesting. Ushna Shah plays the seedhi sadhi bechari lrki with precision. At the end of the day it is all about gherulu politics and women fighting over a man but it gets interesting when there are a few twists which are brand new.

The chemistry between leads and the fast paced story especially in the first few episodes makes it a drama anyone would enjoy binge watching. In the later episodes the story gets repetitive but those parts can easily be forwarded when you are watching a drama online.

02-bheegi-palkein

Guzarish

Written by: Sanam Mehdi Jarchevi
Directed by: Owais Khan
Produced by: Six Sigma Plus
Episodes: 25
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Yumna Zaidi, Affan Waheed, Javed Sheikh, Saba Hameed, Ahmed Ali, Sara Ashraf, Ali Khan, Maha Warsi, Seemi Pasha, Saba Faisal and others.

Guzarish has some amazing performances and quite a few powerful dialogues to its credit. There are some parts where the story gets weak but overall there were enough twists and turns in this drama to keep the viewers engaged and coming back for more. Yumna Zaidi’s potential has been exploited to the maximum in this drama but Sara Ashraf is the weakest link in Guzarish. It gets over dramatic at times but such scenes add more emotional value to the drama. Yumna Zaidi’s exceptional performance is the best thing about this play. Saba Hameed is another actress who gives you a reason to look forward to more. There were so many episodes which I watched only because of these two actors. Saba Hameed plays a rather negative character but does it with precision.

The script also has a certain kind of mystery to it which keeps you at the edge of your seat. Guzarish is the story of a love triangle with a whole new twist!

03-ghuzaarish

Jhoot

Written by: Reema Ali Syed
Directed by: Syed Ahmed Kamran
Produced by: MD Productions
Episodes: 21
Channel: HUM
Cast: Bushra Ansari, Mansha Pasha, Imran Ashraf, Kamran Jeelani, Nargis Rasheed, Rimsha Akmal, Akbar Khan and others.

Jhoot was fast paced, it had a few interesting characters and the best thing about it was that it was very real! Bushra Ansari’s character in particular was the highlight of this drama. She was shown as a controlling mother who is continuously judging others but does not always make the most just decisions herself. She finally has to face the music and that is when things get even more interesting. Jhoot also had a powerful message which was conveyed aptly. Jhoot is another one of those dramas which rose above other average dramas and made the viewers tune into it every week because of the cast and the content too.

The best thing about Jhoot was that unlike many other dramas on this list, it wasn’t stretched unnecessarily.

04-jhoot

Kathputli

Written by: Faiza Iftikhar
Directed by: Asif Rathore
Produced by: Momina Duraid
Episodes: 19
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Sanam Chaudhry, Farhan Ahmed Malhi, Samina Ahmed, Gohar Mumtaz, Anam Ahmed, Shaheen Khan, Binita and others.

Kathputli was a story of a survivor. It was a story of a girl who comes from a very oppressed setting but empowers herself with education & puts all her weaknesses aside to emerge as a strong & independent girl who makes her own decisions. What makes Kathputli worth a binge watch is the way the relationship between Mehru & Ahad was established. They both had a great chemistry & their conversations were written really well & were always meaningful. Kathputli easily qualifies as a love story but it was done in such a beautiful manner that it actually struck a chord.

Even though Kathputli had a 100% chance of showing Mehru as a ‘bechari’, the writer chose not to do that which actually made things a lot better & appealing. The way the director kept things short & to-the-point also made it a success. A lesser number of episodes makes this drama worth a shot & I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

Mana Ka Gharana

Written by: Aliya Bukhari
Directed by: Shehzad Kashmiri
Produced by: Momina Duraid
Episodes: 18
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Sana Javed, Shehroz Sabzwari, Erum Akhtar, Shamil Khan, Ayesha Toor, Danish Raheel and others.

Mana Ka Gharana happens to be a story of a close-knit family that drifts apart because of the interference of an outsider & also because of the selfishness of a mother who only wants the best for her daughter, but the good thing is, she backtracks & realizes her mistakes. Mana Ka Gharana was the sort of a drama that had a very simple story but the right treatment given by the director made it a very enjoyable ride. The scenic locations & amazing chemistry between some of the characters were some plus points of this drama as well.

Mana Ka Gharana is that kind of a drama which you can have a good time watching when you are in a mood for something light-hearted & nothing too serious. Also, it was one such drama where the viewers were rooting for the supporting characters of Erum Akhtar (Zarri) & Shamil Khan (Maalik) because of their amazing & subtle chemistry more than the main leads Sana Javed (Mana) & Shehroz Sabzwari (Khizar). With 18 episodes to its credit, it can’t go wrong!

Sehra Main Safar

Written by: Sarwat Nazeer
Directed by: Azfar Ali
Produced by: Momina Duraid
Episodes: 23
Channel: Hum TV
Cast: Zarnish Khan, Ali Kazmi, Emaad Irfani, Shehryaar Zaidi, Lubna Aslam and others.

Sehra Main Safar was a drama that began at a very promising note but lost its charm mid way because of the pace that slowed down considerably, but by that time, those who followed it couldn’t give up on it as they wanted to find out the note at which the story will end. It was a story of a girl named Iqra who is pushed into the practical world because of the hardships that her family faces. This story revolved around Iqra & her transition starting from how she misunderstands her family, how she makes a reckless decision of getting married to someone insincere to her, how she realizes her mistakes, understands the importance of her parents & later gets married to someone who loves & most importantly supports her.

Not sure if it was pre-planned or it was because of the popularity that Sehra Main Safar gained, it ended up getting stretched & lost the charm by the time it ended. You might have to forward quite a lot of episodes because of repetition & not getting offered something new in those episodes, however, Zarnish Khan, due to her phenomenal & effortless acting carried this entire drama on her shoulders & deserves all the praises for that.

Thora Sa Aasman

Written by: Umera Ahmed
Directed by: Nadeem Siddique
Produced by: Mastermind Productions
Episodes: 21
Channel: Geo TV
Cast: Alyy Khan, Baber Ali, Zeba Bakhtiyar, Qaiser Nizamani, Yasra Rizvi, Ushna Shah, Seher Afzal and others.

If you are ever in a mood to watch something grim, serious but meaningful, Thora Sa Aasman will be the drama for you. Dramatized after one of the best novels of Umera Ahmed, Thora Sa Aasman had a lot of lessons to offer & was based on the theme of ‘what goes around comes around’. This drama had a lot of controversy attached to it & may be that is the reason it wasn’t heavily promoted by the channel but it surely was a drama worth your time. Thora Sa Aasman was dramatized back in the day on PTV Home & it went unnoticed, may be that is why GEO TV decided to dramatize it again.

The best things about this drama are the direction & the pace, because it has so many characters & the way the director introduced them, that too the right time helped a lot in keeping the interest of the viewers alive. Where a lot of the actors under-performed, Seher Afzal surely takes the crown for her flawless acting. Thora Sa Aasman was one such drama that left the viewers asking for a few more episodes because it seemed that it ended a bit too quickly. This is one such drama that will make you forget that you have an option of forwarding it because it is quite captivating.

Tum Kon Piya

Written by: Maha Malik
Directed by: Yasir Nawaz
Produced by: Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi
Episodes: 29
Channel: Urdu1
Cast: Ayeza Khan, Imran Abbas, Ali Abbas, Hina Khawaja Bayat, Qavi Khan, Mehmood Akhtar, Hira Tareen, Shameen Khan and others.

Tum Kon Piya’s story is done-to-death and is certainly not free from clichés but it is not devoid of logic. This drama was far more engrossing than many other love stories which were promoted by some of the leading channels. Yasir Nawaz’s meticulous direction, his creativity and Maha Malik’s eloquent script made this typical story special. Also, there were quite a few twists and turns which took you completely by surprise. Ramish’s character and Elma and Ramish’s love story, which is more “imagined” than real is poignant and easy to relate to.

Ayeza Khan’s honest and effortless acting gives her character the much-needed charm. There is an undeniable chemistry between Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas. Ramish Hassan, the role played by Imran Abbas, is that of a likeable hero who is not faultless but appealing nevertheless. Some of the negative characters will also keep your interest alive in the show. This drama is also shot beautifully.

2013 Dramas – Hits and Misses

0

This year had it all; dramas which were true masterpieces, those you watch only to kill time because they serve the purpose, others just so that you can vent out because you had very high hopes attached to them and also those which may not be perfect but have enough to offer to make you coming back for more week after week.

This year producers banked on star power more than ever; a year that proved that great production values and a star studded serial does not ensure quality entertainment. Loyal viewers watched plays that didn’t have much to offer only to see their favorite stars on screen.

The good thing about the dramas this year was that we got to see almost all the stars on screen, even those who we rarely see on screen. Writers touched tabooed topics and some of the directors did a splendid job of tackling them. Here is the list of those plays which in my opinion stood out for some reason or the other among a long line of plays this year. All of them were not perfect but definitely the sort of plays that need to be mentioned.

The list contains those plays that ended in the year 2013.

Talkhiyaan

Writer: Bee Gul

Director: Khalid Ahmed

Channel: Express Entertainment

Talkhiyaan had to be the most powerful serial of the year 2013. There was absolutely nothing run-of-the-mill about this play; everything was brand new. Talkhiyaan took me to a world of its own every time I sat down to watch it. Every character in the play was a story in its own right. Hina Bayat shone in a very different role; nothing like the sweet mother she is playing all the time. The locations were breathtaking, the direction was phenomenal, the acting by all the actors left you mesmerized and most importantly it touched upon many tabooed issues. The drama serial aired on Express Entertainment therefore it did not get the attention it truly deserved.

Dil-e-Muztar

Writer: Aliya Bukhari

Director: Shehzad Kashmiri

Channel: Hum TV

Dil-e-Muzter was happening, engaging and definitely the sort of play that keeps you hooked right from the get-go. The direction of the play and the cast had to be the biggest reasons for its success. Sanam Jung made her debut from Dil-e-Muzter and this was the first play that was directed by Shehzad Kashmiri. The viewers saw Imran Abass in a play after a long time, did he do well? I will let the viewers answer that question. Sarwat Gillani totally owned her character. The drama had many positives that made it stand out in the crowd.

Bari Apa

Writer: Samira Fazal

Director: Saife Hassan

Channel: Hum TV

Bari Apa had a very powerful start but after 13 episodes or so the story started going around in circles. But it deserves a special mention nevertheless because of the relatable and fun conversations, the first 12 episodes or so which were very engaging, Noman Ijaz’s memorable performance and also because of the characterizations. Savera Nadeem was outstanding as Bari Apa, she made it impossible for me to hate her character. I couldn’t help but rationalize Zubeida’s selfish behavior time and again until it really got out of hand.

bari apa

Tanhaiyaan Nayee Silsilay

Writer: Haseena Moin / Muhammad Ahmed

Director: Marina Khan

Channel: ARY Digital / PTV Home

Okay, I know there are many people out there who were very disappointed with this naye silsilay but personally I thought that this was a really good effort. It was a nice mixture of old and new generations and the play was light-hearted yet emotional. Watching my favorite characters on screen all over again after so many years was nothing short of a treat.

TNS

Rehaai

Writer: Farhat Ishtiaq

Director: Mehreen Jabbar

Channel: Hum TV

Rehaai was written, directed and acted out brilliantly. It was one play which also had a very good ending unlike many plays this year which were superb overall but their endings failed to impress. Rehaai did not only focus on the problems faced by women at the hands of men who are supposed to be their protectors but also provided some good solutions to their problems. The play mainly focused on the issue of child marriage and tackled it really well.

rehaii

Nanhi

Writer: Mona Haseeb

Director: Haseeb Hassan

Channel: Geo TV

Nanhi was the story a young girl who dreamed dreams which were very different from those of other girls her age. The play took the viewers in the dark world of people living in downtrodden areas. The play proved to be an eye opener for many and others termed it too open and tagged it as controversial. Sajjal Ali stole the show with her impressive acting, Javed Sheikh played a very different character and so did Shahood Alvi. Nanhi was a little too real at times but definitely one of the better plays that aired this year. The ending however was shocking and in my opinion upsetting, to say the least!

nanhi

Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Writer: Umera Ahmed

Director: Sultana Siddiqui

Channel: Hum TV

Zindagi Gulzar Hai deserves a mention here not because it was a masterpiece but because it was followed by many viewers, the reason being that Umera Ahmed, Fawad Khan and a Friday night play on Hum is a deadly combo! Zindagi Gulzar Hai had its ups and downs; some episodes completely blew you away and others left you clueless. The ending of the play was rather abrupt. But the fact remains that Zindagi Gulzar Hai has to be the most talked about play of the year. It instigated some very interesting discussions on gender roles and double standards. Zaroon and Kashaf’s characters gave viewers much to talk about. Overall, it was a roller coaster of a ride criticized as well as enjoyed by many.

Aik Nayee Cinderella

Writer: Faiza Iftikhar

Director: Haissam Hussain

Channel: Geo TV

Aik Nayee Cinderella was liked by the viewers because of its amazing cinematography, script and direction. It was completely different from the usual A & B productions play mainly because in this particular project it seemed like the director Haissam Hussain held the reigns rather than the production house. The viewers compared Aik Nayee Cinderella to Disney movies. Personally, I gave up on it after a couple of episodes because it was not my cup of tea but that doesn’t change the fact that it was a play that kept many viewers glued to their TV screens.

Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi

Writer: Amna Mufti

Director: Kashif Nisar

Channel: Hum TV

The play shed light on the way things work out in the feudal set up and the manner in which women are exploited at all levels by men. Nauman Ijaz, Saba Qamar, Irsa Ghazal and Sohail Ahmed especially stood out because of their performances. The play was a work of art and I couldn’t help but tune into it week after week. This was another play that served as a reality check and an eye opener. It was like leaving my cozy living room for a little while and drifting into the world of all these people who led a life very different from ours. The play did not get the attention it deserved and it was very few of the Hum TV plays which was shifted to the 9pm slot only after few of the episodes went on air.

ubfn

Aunn Zara

Writer: Faiza Iftikhar

Director: Haissam Hussain

Channel: Aplus

I must admit that I went from falling in love with Aunn Zara when it began to completely losing interest after a few episodes. But for many out there Aunn Zara was a breath of fresh air which gave them something to laugh about and it gave them some characters that will stay in people’s hearts forever. The play mainly attracted people’s attention because of the writer, director and the leading cast. Even those viewers who stick to the three leading channels watched the play and liked it. Aunn Zara deserves to be in this list because it may not have hit a home run with me but it was liked by many people around me (credible sources;)

aunn zara1

Kankar

Writer: Umera Ahmed

Director: Aabis Raza

Channel: Hum TV

Like all Umera Ahmed’s plays this year (ZGH, Mirat-ul-Uroos) Kankar too was stretched beyond limit. In an attempt to drag the play to 25 episodes the beginning was slow and the end not totally gratifying. Sikandar’s issues were not completely resolved in the end, he made yet another promise which was most likely to be forgotten just like all the previous ones. Kankar stood out because of its characterization. Kiran’s character in particular was heroic but real at the same time. Sikandar’s character was equally intriguing. Some of the dialogues will be imprinted in my mind forever.

kankar

Here is a short list of some of the plays that had a star cast and crew but failed to leave an impact.

Silvatein

It started off really well but once the story started to lose momentum, there was no rescuing it after that!

Khoya Khoya Chand

An extremely childish story which banked completely on star power and production values.

Kadoorat

Kadoorat was another play which took off well but lost its charm after a while mainly due to a weak script.

Kala Jadoo Part 2

The viewers who watched and like part 1 had high expectations from this sequel but it failed to deliver.

Numm

Yes, it still remains the biggest disappointment of the year! It was Ashk all over again just when we thought that Ashk was dead and buried Geo entertainment had Numm in store for us!

Hamnasheen and Halki Si Khalish were the only two plays this year which I watched only out of curiosity and I have to say that for some reason or the other I couldn’t help but follow them till the end. Hamnasheen’s strength lied in the acting and the chemistry between the main leads. Halki Si Khalish was entertaining because of its pace and I really enjoyed Javaid Sheikh’s character and acting.

Other notable plays which were followed by the viewers this year are as follows. I did not follow these shows or did not like them therefore I will refrain from commenting on them but the readers should feel free to comment.
