As a result, the OSTs contribute significantly to the overall popularity of Pakistani dramas, making them an essential aspect of the viewing experience. This synergy between engaging storylines and captivating music plays a crucial role in solidifying the status of Pakistani dramas as a leading form of entertainment in the country.

Pakistani Dramas Best OSTs 2024
Here is a list of the Best Pakistani Dramas OSTs that won hearts in 2024:
Ishq Murshid
Ishq Murshid is among the biggest dramas of the year 2024. It was loved by everyone for the romance and chemistry between the leading couple played by Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem. This was also a light-hearted rom-com which is a detour from heavy stories that generally air on prime-time television. But the OST became a real hit for the show. Tera Mera Hai Pyar Amar by Ahmed Jahanzeb was a mega hit and it received love not just in Pakistan but globally as well.
Here is the full OST for Ishq Murshid:
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is another big drama that gained traction due to great direction and writing, strong performances, and beautiful music that won the hearts of all the viewers. Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum gave us several songs based on the situations of the drama but two songs were the main OSTs which people fell in love with.
The first OST Chal Diye Tum Kahan Pe by AUR was a beautiful experiment as such modern music is not generally opted for OSTs. Fans love it and it ended up becoming the anthem for many young people going through similar struggles. Have a look:
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum also had a sad OST with Zeeshan Ali’s Sajna Da Dil Torya and fans were as devastated as the lyrics of this beautiful song:
Jaan e Jahan
