I so miss the era of Pakistani classics..be it Humsafar, zindagi Gulzar hai, durr e shehwar, Meri zaat zarra e benishan, maat, mere qaatil mere dildaar,kanjar

Actors like fawad Khan, mahira, Sanam saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Sanam baloch, Saba qamar shaped the Pakistani tv industry at par with the films..I so miss them..

N sadly nowadays there is hardly any remarkable story..they all seem one n the same...

Nowadays I guess khudgarz is doing well...

Plz creatives don't go the Indian way..many Indians like me adore ur serials..

Thanks for making this post @Amarpali . I too like classics, I watch them when I get a chance. but I am fine with new actors and dramas. Yes. I hate dragging, and bad acting, but there're also good serials coming even these days.

It is been 2 yrs now since I started following Pakistani dramas. and I can't stop drooling over actors and actresses like : FQ, Imran Abbas, Noor Hassan, Azfar Rehman, Feroze Khan, Sarah Khan, Arij Fatima, Saba Qamar, Sajal Ali, and many others.

I almost watch everything. There were lots of amazing serials like: Dillagi, Besharam, Khuda Aur Mohabbat, Aap Key Liye, Sang E Mar Mar, Muqabil, Bey Khudi, Nazr E Bad, Kaisi Yeh Paheli, Aangan (ARY) , Laal Ishq, and many more.

So true, Loved old dramas, to add to your list Dastaan, Dhoop Kinare, Tanahaiyan,Mere humdam Mere Dost, Kankar . I miss watching good content, Yes I loved Udari and a very recent drama Yakeen Ka Safar but other than that there is nothing. If you have not seen already, I highly recommend Yakeen Ka safar. it is one of the best dramas of 2017, Amazing script, story, direction, actors, everything is perfection.

btw current lot, there is a drama called Aangan, very underrated but it is really good, common story but very well made, awesome dialogs, acting and direction..Very light entertainment, but other than that there is nothing remarkable. I fully agree with you. I miss Fawad, Sanam, Mahira, Sanam B and Sanam J onscreen.

I agree half here. Sanam saed ...no way is a good. She looks and acts irritated all the time. That was one and only good role for her in zindagi gulzar hai. Love the show and storyline so much. One thing going for humsafar was the leads and otherwise not a impressive story.

It came a time where u have 10 shows in 20 Chanel ... it's hard o get variety and new stories...then all becomes ekta shows. ... too much in short time. Overkill the industry. Stretch - stretch with same old

I still feel most of old serials were overrated. It is common that ppl love old memories more. and when you have a new experience , watching something different , you become thrilled. then it becomes a habit, so you feel bored..
