Sang-e-Mah
We all have heard Atif Aslam’s songs, but to see him in a show is a plus for the show. Sang-e-Mah is much more than a cluster of celebrities. The drama shows the lives of tribal families and how they’re sacrificing their traditions in modern-day Pakistan.
This is a sequel to the 2017 show Sang e Mar Mar. Sang-e-Mah takes the plot right where Sang-e-mar-mar ended. Both of the shows show the ugly truth of our society that is often ignored by the people.
The themes include domestic violence, patriarchy in societies, bride bribes, and honor killings. The writers made up for everything with a strong plot, and the characters left a gravitating performance.
These messages are very sensitive, and delivering them without harming the viewer’s feelings is a win for the show and its actors.
Paristan
This is a light-hearted show, but when you see the painful plot of each character, it will give you a totally contrary view. The show got trending because of Junaid Khan Niazi’s and Merub’s performance as a couple.
Their on-screen presence is loved by the fans because they’re cute and look good with each other. The plot of the drama has many tropes, but as it is a theme-based sitcom, it is always light and doesn’t feel wrong about anything else.
Each episode is filled with humor and laughs, which is always welcomed.
