Same uproar was heard in sixties to ban Indian movie so our film industry will prosper.the results are in front of us we are left without films.people started seeing Indian films and our film industry collapsed.same will happen to to dramas.banning is not the answer competition is the answer.we must raise the standard of our dramas and come to the level of international standard.

Wonderfully written!
to me “Content is the King”, people watch what they like its Simple and Clear.
you should just stop asking for “protection” and making an alliances against tv channels rather prove yourselves, esp those leading these alliances must remember what they did to Pakistan’s Advertising Industry (“#blazeon” if you could not recall ) thousand were yelling at that time too and that was a real damage to our industry, economy, Pakistan’s image and hundreds lost their jobs Then! they really made the damage.

Ishq-e-Memnu was the most-watched show in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the last episode got 85 million viewers across the Middle East….Now its very much ‘Muslim’

Very well written article. The time is not far when TV will become obsolete and people will get their entertainment from the net. People will have a choice and won’t be subjected to garbage just because they live in Pakistan.
Creativity and originality should be encouraged; these so called artists living in the shadow of Bollywood should be done away with. True artists should be allowed to take risks in producing what really feel rather than pandering to the lowest common denominator in the name of commercial viability.

Its about time that Pakistani drama industry improve…. where shall I start …. acting, direction, sets, storylines…just about everything. A few gems notwithstanding, most of the Pakistani dramas are extremely poorly put together, not to mention …. boring…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
