your other serials are...? - Page 4

I watch Rishta.com (and sometimes Mahi Way) on youtube just to remind myself that it is possible to make well-scripted and well-acted shows for Indian TV. Shows that are entertaining and funny and warm and that do not require that your brain stops functioning.

Then I bang my head against any available hard surface in frustration that these shows only lasted a few months...

Have you seen Powder? Its a YRF product too.. awesome show (if you like action crime dramas) with good acting and storyline backed up :-)

Also, I cried buckets when I realised they are never going to make a season 2 for Mahi Way or Rishta.com :-(
The fate of good tv shows on indian telly is just tragic...

I watch Qubool Hai, occasionally check on Saraswatichandra.

Qubool hai
Sarasvatichandra
Sathiya
Diya aur bati hum
Tarak mehta ka oltha chasma
Bal veer
Jeni aur juju
Hum apke hai in laws
Tota weds maina
Chidya ghar sometimes


But i never miss
Qubool hai
Sathiya
Diya aur bati hum
Tarak mehta ka ooltha chasma

Some very popular Pakistani Drama's in recent years have been:

Humsafar (ppl went gaga over it in Pakistan & UK)
Mera Saaien (Based on Tehmina Durrani's Novel My Feudal Lord)
Bulbulay (light comedy)
Meray Pass Pass (Nadia Jameel, Momar rana, Deepak Perwani- Music by Atif Aslam & Hadiqa Qaiani)

I have heard about Humsafar but never got the time to check it out and I dont have much idea about Pakistani dramas and couldn't find much on the net. The ones I did find were rather melo-dramaish and tragic of sorts.
I tend to like more light-hearted, not so tragic love stories 😆

The Indian shows I quit watching are a long list!

1. Ek hazaaron mein..

2. Madhubala

3. Punar vivah

4. Pyaar ka dard hai

I watch a whole bunch of English shows... But since we're talking only desi, this is it from me. 😊

Ek Hazaaron mein & pyaar Ka dard seem very popular - are they anything like QH , IPK, DMG or Madhubala?
