This year was superb in terms of dramas; the dramas which aired in this year on various channels focused on different topics as opposed to relying solely on done-to-death scenarios. Some of these dramas which were based on fresh ideas were not massive hits but they definitely won critical acclaim and grabbed the attention as well as appreciation of viewers who needed a break from dramas which relied solely on clichés. Pakistani dramas have come a long way; there was a time when people stopped watching these dramas altogether because many Pakistani production houses were copying Indian dramas and losing the essence of Pakistani dramas. We are back in the game with some amazing dramas which the viewers could connect to because of the topics they covered and the manner in which the ideas were executed on screen.This was a very positive year for the Pakistani drama industry because it gave rise to a new wave of dramas which dared to experiment. A drama can only be a hit if the entire team associated with that drama manages to do the work assigned to them perfectly. A drama should above all things be entertaining, no matter how powerful the script of a play is if it is not presented on screen in an entertaining way, it is rendered useless.
