"Religion is the New Trend in Pakistani Drama"


With the latest upcoming drama stories the drama industry of Pakistan has adopted a new trend in their script of religion. Every drama on every channel has added an essence of religion in their stories. After the success of “Main Abdul Qadir Hoon” which was on aired on Hum channel on December 18, 2010- May 21, 2011.
The storyline of most of the dramas turned towards the religious genre highlighting many religious factors. Many dramas with the religious concept like “Mohabbat aur khuda”, “Meri zaat zaare e benishan”, “shehr e zaat”, “Umme kulsum”, “Mehram” and many more alike has gained tremendous response from its viewers.  There are many dramas which have promoted and have been promoting a wrong religious concept for the sake of newly introduced trend such as “Rishte kuch Adhoore Se” aired on Hum TV which was influenced by an Indian drama “susral simar ka” highlighting and promoting beliefs under the banner of religion which doesn’t even exist. How we practice the non Muslim culture in our dramas because Pakistan was created on the basis of Islam so that we could practice our religion freely in our dramas.
“Shehr e zaat” is a story of young woman’s journey as she strives to make up for all the time she has lost in worldly pursuits and finally given to Allah’s will , after learning harsh realities of life she traveled from self to subsistence. The message of this drama puts forwards is that Human are meant to be imperfect, no matter how “secure” or loved a person feels in a human relationship. One should not put the love for a man above the love for God.
“Shanakht” drama is bound to get you hooked to its not so ordinary story. The drama revolves around an upper class Pakistani girl (Qurat ul Ain) and her painstaking journey of freely preserving her religious side, amidst society’s constant attacks on her choice of “hijab.” Hijab is very uncommon in our culture these days. The drama gets noticeable reaction from the viewers as people have valued the first episode of this drama. Maya’s hijab style is also attracting many eyes as women’s interest is growing towards wearing hijab after seeing Maya Ali in Shanakht. People are appreciating the storyline of drama that is showcasing hijab as it is extremely important to emphasize on this matter nowadays.


Most of the dramas are influenced and motivated by the novels. Many dramas are telecasted but not every drama is a quality based drama.
Pakistani drama industry is boosting up with the trend of “embracing religion.” We hope good quality based or religion based dramas will aired on every Pakistani channel.
