The girl, on the other hand, comes from a low family but is confident and self-sufficient to the point that she has never cut corners and has a strong belief in herself. Because it was directed in this manner, Deewangi has a positive mood.

Suno Chanda was a Ramazan special that was lovely, interesting, and compelling. The show’s main concept was similar to Aangan, but unlike Aangan, it lacked underlying meanings and was purely entertaining. The show’s main protagonists, Jiya and Arsal, were the show’s main draw. The on-screen chemistry of Farhan Saeed and Iqra Aziz, as well as the way their plot was written and executed, made their storey a joy to witness. Every episode was a must-see due to the smart and funny screenplay. For the first time, a child who played a humorous role in a serial received a lot of attention and praise.

Writer: Radian Shah
Director: Aabis Raza
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Aamina Sheikh, Asif Raza Mir, Savera Nadeem, Anzeela Abbasi, Abdul Ahad Khan, Sundas Tariq

Nibah, a drama series, was a reworking of the old classic Aanch. Making a recreation of a classic is always dangerous, but this one certainly met the criteria. Nibah is easily compared to the original drama in terms of quality and polish. Unlike Aanch, the characters in Nibah were not black and white. The most significant distinction between the two serials was that in Nibah, the woman was not solely to blame! Nibah was one of the few dramas on television this year that you could watch with your family at 8 p.m. The drama’s centrepiece was Aamina Sheikh’s performance, and the multifaceted characters were the primary appeal.
