Fahad Mustafa In Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Fahad Mustafa took the television industry by storm as he made his television comeback after over a decade with Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. A drama with a very relatable family story and acting that looked way too natural attracted the audience not just from Pakistan but worldwide where the language is spoken or understood. Fahad Mustafa as Mustafa was the embodiment of a true middle-class man’s struggles. T beautiful and innocent chemistry he had with Hania Aamir made this comeback land on the list of Best Male Performances in Pakistani Dramas for 2024.
Emmad Irfani In Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Emmad Irfani took a break from television but returned with the best performance of his career. He played Adeel, a charming villain, in the hit drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Adeel’s scheming nature and undeniable charm made him unforgettable. Fans loved how he connived against everyone with style. Emmad nailed every detail, from his wardrobe to his expressions. His portrayal proved once again how talented he is. Adeel was the perfect foil to Mustafa, and their dynamic kept viewers hooked.
Zahid Ahmed In Gentleman
Zahid Ahmed is considered among the most talented actors in the Pakistani drama industry. The scripts he chooses and the performances he brings on television are always the best out there. Zahid Ahmed also came back on television with a bang and his work in Gentleman as Faris surpassed so many other superstars who were also a part of the show. Faris’s ego, insecurities, and corruption were intelligently brought to the screen by Zahid Ahmed.
Adnan Siddiqui In Khushbo Mein Basay Khat
Adnan Siddiqui played a sleazy poet in Khushbo Mein Basay Khat. He took a risk as he chose a pretty non-commercial drama but he ended up giving one of the best performances of the year. From changing his look and adopting a specific demeanor to giving expressions that bring a scene to life, Adnan Siddiqui’s performance deserved a spot on the list of best male performances in Pakistani dramas for 2024.
Bilal Abbas Khan In Mann Jogi
Bilal Abbas Khan gave one of the biggest hits of the year with Ishq Murshid and he was outstanding as Shahmeer Sikandar/Fazal Bakhsh but his performance as Ibrahim in Mann Jogi was something else. To dress down this much for a role and take on the responsibility to address mob violence is commendable. Bilal Abbas Khan’s Ibrahim also depicted the real face of a Muslim and this is something we should have more of in Pakistani dramas.
Gohar Rasheed In Mann Jogi
Gohar Rasheed is a star who is criminally underrated in Pakistan. He has always proved how good he is and that is what he did once again in Mann Jogi as Chaudhary Shabbir. A politician with a sinister value system who can misuse religion for his gains and at the same time a man who is in anguish on losing the love of his life was a dichotomy brilliantly balanced by Gohar Rasheed. This was one of the best performances from Pakistani dramas in 2024.
Faysal Quraishi In Khaie
Faysal Quraishi once again lands on the best performers list with his appearance as Chinar Khan in Khaie. A drama that was experimental for Pakistani television became what it became due to Faysal Quraishi’s manic presentation of a villain who made people fall in love with him in the end. Faysal was great in Khaie and fans loved him.
Mohib Mirza In Jafaa
Jafaa is a mixed bag but Mohib Mirza as Hassan will be remembered. He showcased Hassan as a mental health patient well but he also showcased what an abuser looks like. A difficult character to pick on but Mohib Mirza did justice to Hassan and his character’s story and arc were probably the best thing about Jafaa. Mohib Mirza did a great job and he picked a good role to get back to television.
Sheikh Mubashir Mehmood In Zard Patton Ka Bunn
Sheikh Mubashir Mehmood is a talented addition to the drama industry. He was able to shine when he appeared in Jeevan Nagar and he has done a great job as the supportive nephew Roshan in Zard Patton Ka Bunn. In a huge ensemble cast and some great performers, Sheikh Mubashir Mehmood stood out every week and his fans would like to see more good work coming from his side.
Sohail Ahmed In Standup Girl
Standup Girl is a type of drama that we need more of on our television. Sohail Ahmed once again showed why he is the OG. His beloved character of Nana Miyan reminded many people of their grandparents. His character was an open-minded grandfather who learned more to connect with the younger family members and also represented the problems faced by artists in Pakistan.
These were some of the best male performances of the year 2024 in Pakistani dramas. From the biggest film stars making their mark on television once again to seasoned veterans reminding everyone of their unmatched talent, 2024 was a standout year for Pakistani male actors.
