There was a time when Pakistani drama Industry was over-ornated in fabricating Iconic dramas like Tanhaiyan, Dhoop Kinary, Ankahi, Waris, Dhuwan, Alif Noon, Anghan Terha and many more, these drama haven’t lost their ethos till now and are still loved by people more than many of our new age conventional dramas.
If we look 10 to 15 years back we will still found dramas like Bezuban and others throwing shades on taboos of our society. These dramas had fecund content and a pragmatic message to convey.
Talking about the current content proposed by our dramas we sadly add here that there are a few factors that are ruling our drama industry which includes sister rivalry-factor, Talaaq-factor, Dusri Shadi-factor, Thappad-factor and Zalim Saas/Bahu-factor, these factors almost sums up most of our dramas.
What is the impact of these dramas? What are they promoting? Is this all we have to show? Every year there are hardly a couple of dramas that promotes something lone, rest all are same.
Recently the teaser of drama serial Jalan are released. The teasers clearly indicated that the plot revolves around a stubborn girl falling in love with her very own brother-in-law. The drama is criticized a lot by the public. People are now raising the question that what culture these dramas are promoting.
There are a lot of the senseless dramas running on our Television and side by side there is Ertugrul with a strong message and a brawny story line delivering a constructive message. Why would people not love such a drama? There are no two truths in the fact that Ertugrul makes more sense than majority of our dramas, which is why it is loved by the public as well.
Our nation is now fed up with all such baseless drams, we really want dramas that are constructive and meaningful not the same vague and vulgar dramas this is exactly what the latest trend of twitter say. #واہیات_ڈرامے is the trending number one on twitter today.
