You put very good examples. I am not saying good Muslim culture shows or movies will not succeed, it is just that it takes harder for them to do well. And there has been a change in the climate over the past 2 decades. The population has become more radicalized, that is why all the examples you gave are from way back in time. I would like to know some recent examples.Regarding Pakistani shows on the new ZEE channel, a TVM of 300 can hardly be called earth shattering. The sad thing is that Indian audiences have not yet shed their prejudices or developed the taste for high quality drama.
donjas, i am from the old lot, i hardly watch any movies these days do they make any good ones except a few? as for daily soaps i honestly fail to understand how people can sit through same old cliched sbs style shows day in and day out, my mother in law used to even watch the repeats just because she was too lazy to change the channel..agar star plus laga hai to wo hi sahi..the whole day i used to hear same noises of some bahus screaming or dramatizing the situation and my mom in law was sleeping most of the times while the show was running😆..now this could be one of the reasons of high trps that they act as a lullaby for older ladies that contribute maximum to the trp janta!
