Gumrah focusses on how teenagers get wrongly influenced and do murders etc. It has a very realistic approach and is arguably one of the best crime based shows.Webbed is about cyber crime and how people get fooled online.Udaan is about a little girl amidst all the feudal lordship aims to make it big in life.These are all really good shows. But I people just cant get past the kyunkis and the kahaanis I guess.There were many shows in the past which were considered cult shows. Saans was one among them. It very maturely showed relationships. There was the 'other woman' there too,but she wasn't the typical one.We also have something which I would proudly say is one of our own and that is mythology/historical shows which are doing very well and have done well in the past too. Shows like Mahabharatha and Ramayan are still considered iconic.Right now we have a channel called "EPIC" which is completely devoted to history. and no not just about kings and queens,but about wars,about about our cuisines were formed etc.And you'd be amazed to know we even got to know a lot about Pakistan ( "GOOD" things -just clarifying before anyone accuses me of defamation)We have music channels like MTV INDIES which focus on indian singers (no not bollywood) with varied genres.Just like some of u said some bad shows dont represent Pakistan,be fair to us and dont think that we are only abhout kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi's.If our shows are about vamps and reincarnations,from over 50 Pak shows I have seen in one year,90% of them showed cousin marriages and stories of one husband and his never ending list of wives. So should I say the entire Pak industry represents just that?Certainly not. I have watched lesser known shows which dont necessarily represent just that and I have enjoyed watching them and I wont shy away from accepting that. And not all successful shows were meant to be liked by all. There are shows which so many people recommended to me and I didnt like them.I didnt like Dastaan as much as I liked ZGH,thats for my own personal reason. But Sanam Baloch is one of the best in Pak,this I strongly believe.I do agree daily soaps in India need to be revived. But not all shows are bad. There is a fair share of good shows too. Its not as if all shows in Pak are good.As of now I am following a few good pak shows and I will give the directors and actors credit for that.Why cant we just walk past this and just enjoy what we are watching instead of saying which country's content is better than the other?
Ah! Obviously its not just Fawad's hormonal fangirls who speak about something without having a complete picture of an industry. 😆
