Lately, Pakistani media industry has been obsessed with presenting the same done-to-death subjects in its dramas. Almost every drama seems to be a revolving around the stale theme of domestic issues. One trope that has been overly used is the idea of a ‘mazloom, roti dhoti aurat’. The repetitive subjects make it extremely boring to sit and attribute your attention to these dramas.

These dramas have strong females leads unlike the conventional dramas.
