The popularity of drama reviewing shows like Amma TV Aur Mein only goes on to prove that Pakistani dramas have enough content in them to warrant proper discussions and in the world of the entertainment industry, one is only as popular as the amount of conversation they are generating. The audience loves watching dramas they love having detailed discussions on the dramas and actually building up a possible outcome of the story in their heads. Weekly trends on social media and Youtube are dominated by episodes of Pakistani dramas. Pakistani drama soundtracks have been faring better than most original music being made in the country. Nothing of that was ever confirmed but in case if it does come true, don’t be surprised. A rumor about Fawad Khan coming back on television in a drama also floated around some time back. Interestingly, Pehli Si Muhabbat’s director of photography is Shayan Latif, the man who has been the camera operator for the yet-unreleased and highly anticipated Bilal Lashari directorial The Legend of Maula Jatt. So, it’s not just the actors making their way back to television but the behind-the-scenes crew as well. The drama has received generally decent to positive reviews. Sheheryar Munawar and Maya Ali have also been absent from television screens for the past few years and are now back as leading roles in the drama serial Pehli Si Muhabbat which has already started airing on ARY Digital. Considering the kind of rage that Humayun’s last drama Mere Paas Tum Ho was, this decision doesn’t come as a surprise. This is the first time Humayun plans on concentrating more on dramas in the year instead of jumping from one film set to another. But for Humayun, films were a priority as he tried to release one major Eid blockbuster every year.
BIN ROYE CAST DRAMA MOVIE
Granted Humayun has managed to squeeze in dramas as he delivered one blockbuster movie after another.

Why wouldn’t Mahira Khan want to come back to the medium that shot her to fame in the first place?Īnother example is Humayun Saeed who plans on acting in two dramas this year. In fact, it just continues to get bigger and bigger. In the meantime, television isn’t going anywhere. No one really knows when the film industry will be fully functioning again. For someone like Mahira Khan who has been doing back-to-back films for the past five years, this is both a surprising and yet the most obvious decision to make. The “superstar” of the industry who hasn’t done a drama ever since Bin Roye back in 2016 although one can argue that since Bin Roye was a film turned into a drama her last actual drama is Sadqay Tumhare which aired in 2014, recently confessed at Hum TV’s 16th Anniversary Celebrations that she was ready to come back to dramas.

However, considering the upward trending graph of views and ratings that Pakistani dramas have been generating in the past couple of years alongside the critical success and the quantifiable data that backs up the claim, the wise ones realise where exactly the real power of the Pakistani entertainment industry actually lies.įor example, Mahira Khan. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Pakistani television has showcased its reliability through the past few years, not that it needed to present any significant proof of its position as the reigning branch of the Pakistani entertainment industry. Perhaps this is why some of the biggest names in the Pakistani entertainment industry who had seemingly graduated from the small screen to the big, are now looking to come back to work on TV. TV is where the work, and the subsequent fame and safety it brings, truly lies. This durable functionality of the Pakistani television industry even during a global pandemic has once again put the focus back on this industry as being the safest representation of Pakistani entertainment as a whole. When almost the entire entertainment industry of the country had to temporarily stop functioning as they did their best to effectively adapt to the “new normal”, Pakistani dramas continued to entertain the audiences with new content. There is no better proof of this statement than the year 2020. Pakistani television continues to thrive and reach new heights of success.
