Pakistani dramas have a huge national and international audience from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, the Middle East, and beyond. Many Pakistani dramas have achieved the remarkable milestone of surpassing a billion views in recent years, while many others are close to reaching one billion soon.
The success of Pakistani dramas is usually measured through TRPs and views. TRPs reflect the popularity of dramas in Pakistan, while YouTube views indicate their international success. Most Pakistani dramas with English subtitles gain significantly more views on YouTube than those without subtitles. This year, many Pakistani dramas attracted a large international audience worldwide. Sher is the most-watched drama, while Mohra has gripped fans with its strong revenge-based plot. Main Manto Nahi Hoon is one of the most talked-about dramas, with fans frequently posting edits of it. Dayan also garnered impressive viewership and public acclaim; however, critics were not fully satisfied with it. Do Kinaray is another Pakistani drama that is gaining views but is currently getting criticism for being unnecessarily stretched.
Here is a list of the most-watched dramas on YouTube in 2025:
Sher – 19 million views per episode
Mohra – around 9 million views per episode
Dayan – approximately 7 million views per episode
