Today, life has become so fast and nobody has time to see the problems of our society. Viewers are now watching drama serials more than films. Our Pakistani film industry is not in a good shape and this has created a space for the TV industry to dominate the scene.
Pakistani drama has a very great history as Pakistani media produced lots of unforgettable dramas. Pakistan Television (PTV) was the pioneer in the production of dramas and plays. Pakistani plays are very popular in the world.
In many countries, videos of these dramas are played in their art academies to teach how to produce classic dramas. Our intellectual writers have been writing dramas and our versatile actors have been performing various characters flawlessly. Most of our dramas are based on social issues.
There is a revolution going on in our drama industry: the standard is improving a lot and the latest technology is being used for shooting the serials. The stories which our productions are showing are mostly based on truth and describe our social problems. These are helping to highlight the problems of common people.
I must say that it is a very good effort to divert the viewers from the non-religious, non-realistic and foreign dramas.
