So true 😅 pehle he was ajeeb but maybe we always know him like that...

​@@m.abdullahyousaf9863 yes... But now I know, why Iqra married him.. He is a mature man😊

Imran Abbas’s interview was very genuine too..

Hi there! Not sure if you know much about bengalis or interacted with one. Even if you did, it doesn’t speak about the entire crowd. Bengali’s most definitely do not have garbage content. Ofcourse every industry is a mix. But certain groups are actually doing pretty well in terms of different types of story telling be it short dramas, movies and series on OTT. We have our own hits, its just that the language barrier and also probably lack of global promotion doesn’t allow it to be seen by a larger market which is sad as well. We watch pakistani dramas because its a bit different from bengali culture yet there are so many similarities! Which makes it interestingly refreshing. And more over we simply like watching it. Not because we have garbage content. Someone appreciating another country’s art doesn’t mean they have nothing on their canvas. Just wanted to correct you there :) Godspeed!

Some very famous Turkish shows are about toxic alpha male heroes. No wonder KTK was dubbed in Turkish and is now playing on their TV channel. From what I have heard, it is a hit too in Turkey.

@@nasihanadeem6894 I will admit I haven’t watched Bengali shows but my comment was mainly directed at Indian soaps. So I apologise if that offended you.

@@hypnotoadxxx their production values are good, story wise except some shows majority are same old storylines that we have, but their direction, cinematography, sets etc is what I would say is a million times better than us. And what channel is that drama airing on? Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi is awful 😑

There is a lots of garbage in Turkish dreams too. Toxic heros , stupid heroin not even close to reality. I am not Pakistani but I watch Pakistani dramas because they are close to reality. As my favorite genre is slice of life. Dramas like daam ,durre shehwar,doop mein sawan ,alif , breaking news,kuch ankahi ,wujood e laraib ,qaid e tanhai this are so good.Mujhae lagtah e nehi hae main drama dekh rehi mujhae lagtah hae kisi ki Zindagi dekh rehi ho. Don't mind I just sometimes don't like Pakistanis don't appreciate their own content.And I tried some Turkish dreams and I found them total garbage except for a fews.

100%%agreed with you about wahaj

Good projects and acting but hardly evidence of range. Bilal is a chameleon unlike Wahaj.

Ahmed ali akbar ?

​@@mskiran36Bilal is another league

​@@mskiran36what is your definition of range? Unlike Bilal Wahaj hasn’t done any negative character. Otherwise he has done various types of characters be it serious, comic, positive or flawed. The projects came in 2023 enough to prove his range.

Indian dramas are worst in the world

​@@rubabslifevlogs486 Still African, Mauritius, fiji, southeast Asian countries watch our serials and not Paki dramas.

Because our people like watching these mostly garbage dramas and like claiming them as masterpieces. A country which calls Mere Humsafar a masterpiece lol. Our dramas are so bad, whether writing, direction, and production wise. Still so technically weak. Using cheap Sony cameras when world has advanced to Red and Arri Alexa. They don’t require much effort or finesse in making them. These drama makers are making lots of money, but have no interest in making better content with that money. All here to line their pockets.

Yess true!

​@@aziza000 totally agree and I also think that since past few years our dramas have become very negative and toxic. They are increasing negativity and frustration in our society which is already so negative. And channels/producers and actors are all very irresponsible for making garbage and toxic dramas like Kaisi teri khudgharzi, Tere bin, Mere humsafar etc

Can you name ahmed's projects which showcases his range? Parizaad. He was fantastic. Idiot I tried to watch but it was unbearable. But iske ilawa, I have not seen Ahmed in many different genres. Out and out comedy? Mystery/thriller? Melodrama? Tragedy? Villain? Sleazy? Gaon ka ladka? Tapori? Rich CEO type? Recommend some projects so I too can see this range and verstaility. P.S. Please don't recommend Doosri Biwi. Polygamy based dramas are not my cup of tea.

Zahid Ahmed... Played a range of characters I m sure you have watched his projects

It's feroze who has shown good range each and every time he brings up new expressions all the time for aggression and attitude then to romance and softness

Razia, Sar e rah and Ek thi laila were short series and were really good but most of our prime slot dramas have become very substandard. Even in 2023, we had so many worst dramas like Tere bin, Qalandar, farq, Ehraam e junoon, Hook and Meri shehzadi etc

Yes they only make hue and cry over the content but not even refuse to work in it be it Imran,iqra, danish,ayeza ,hania and other big names ...

100% agree with you

Yes I agree with you. We need better directors for sure. Yasir and Usman both should be given chances to direct, they will surely produce good work.

Seems that way! The problem is he is stuck in 2000s....we need to champion newer talent!

Wahaj is one of the most versatile and talented actor. He did phenomenal roles in his previous dramas. It's bad that these people are targeting him just because of recent 1,2 dramas

But we have actors like Imran Ashraf and Fahad Mustafa who are not conventionally good looking but they have managed to establish as mainstream heroes. Even bollywood has many examples like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay, Ranveer and Mithun etc who are all superstars despite being average looking

Same vibes…he does seem salty…

I thought the same but at least we found someone with different perspective... I like to watch Pakistani dramas but m very selective and Mano ya na mano Yasir hv got a point about indian Bangali or other southeast Asian countries

@@m.abdullahyousaf9863 agreed! However I would like to point out that dramas here aren't generally on universal topics and therefore only desi people can relate to these themes. This automatically limits the global reach but doesn't make our content any less of a good compared to what we get on Netflix. Also, now we are heading there.. Producing stuff for Netflix too so it is changing too. To be honest, he hasn't done much himself neither in mainstream nor in alternative media to claim everything is so easy and he isn't interested in doing such mediocre stuff 😁

He is not mainstream hero material period

Samee he seemed like someone who think he is "different" from others just because he has a different built and don't take lead roles ( idk if he is being offered any)

@@sab-ali but he done all his roles brilliantly and his script choice is also good that's why he wins award every year

Exactly i was thinking the same thing.

Yes he’s good but his look is the same in every drama and we have yet to see his range

@@288amna same in every drama? So you think abdullah from pks and shahmeer from im and fazal bakhsh from im and bilal in dobara and bilal in cheekh are all same?? Are you for real?

Basically he is kind of jealous of Bilal and feroze because they both are phenomenal actors and never entertain people like yasir in the media and never goes to their pathetic talk shows

You named just 5 dramas out of hundreds of drams that go on air every year from all the channels, that too are not in the same year. So look at the percentage of good dramas. Also, out of these 5, only parizad had exceptional views, kabuli pulao was popular but didnt get as many views as a tere bin or khud gherzi. Baqi shakal tu us ne apni khud nahi banae.

Only 2 or 3 good dramas per year doesn't prove that our industry is producing good content. Dil na umeed to nahi and kabli pulao were not broadcasted on mainstream channels (Green is still new). The top channels like Geo, Hum and Ary are producing trashy dramas like Tere bin, Ehraam e junoon, Kaisi teri khudgharzi and Weham nowadays

none of these dramas got the views or hype they deserved and all of them were rare dramas. You proved his point

exactly... he has yet to prove himself as an actor also

​@@user-ye2nk6lz8r I think u haven't seen Jo bichar gae, Yorker, Ishq jalebi, haiwan , dil na umeed toh nhi ! I would request u to watch these first he is brilliant in all of these shows and his script selection before tere bin was good the only mistake he made is mein which I heard he had to do this because of contract. Please do watch Yorker a 24 minute short film or 14 episode Jo bichar gae a masterpiece, or Ishq jalebi a very good comedy show. I bet u will change ur opinion. The guy has earned respect as an actor before commercial success. He has impeccable range from tragedy to comedy to alpha hero he nailed it. Tbh Murtasim a not so your usual alpha hero was not a character to be idealised but was difficult to perform it has so many layers and shades of grey it's only his performance which has made Murtasim what it is today.

​@@user-ye2nk6lz8r Have u watched any of Wahaj Ali pre tere bin shows he had good script selection most of them were based on social cause even in his interviews he mentioned about responsible capitalism now his only mistake is mein acting wise and him not reading tere bin script but again Murtasim gave him his due success. Watch Jo bichar gae, Ishq jalebi, Dil na umeed toh nhi, haiwan, Yorker in all of these shows he has performed brilliantly. From tragedy to comedy to alpha hero he nailed all of them .Even Murtasim was not your regular alpha hero he has shades of grey and layers to him. portraying him was not a cake walk the actor who has range can only do that and Wahaj sir proved it . I would recommend u to watch Jo bichar gae a masterpiece, brilliantly executed 14 episodes it's his finest performance, or Ishq jalebi perfect comedy show or even Yorker 24 min short film . Then tell me your views I would love to know your POV!

​@@user-ye2nk6lz8r Yes AAA is good looking and a good actor but I haven't seen his range like comedy, commercial hero but I don't think you haven't seen Wahaj Ali's previous work pre tere bin like Jo bichar gae, Ishq jalebi, Dil na umeed toh nhi, haiwan, Yorker even after tere bin he did 22 qadam where as a side character in female centric drama he stole the show some of his heavy emotional scenes were perfection that made u cry your heart out the accident scenes , but his mistake was to do mein which he had to because of contract I hope he better be careful next time as people are now judging him because of that mein only which is so sad as his script selection was good . Please do watch jo bichar gae a masterpiece brilliantly executed and performed one of his finest work 14 episodes only no drag , Ishq jalebi perfect comedy show, short film Yorker. You will know his range he can do comedy to tragedy to artsy to social cause to commercial alpha hero. That's the range . Plus I have noticed his screen presence is very strong and there is a certain aura. I hope you see these shows and give your PoV I would love to know that!

I understand your point but i think its refreshing, what aamna does. Cuz the name of the interviewee is already mentioned in the caption

That is a very cliches way….. what amna does is very nice

😁 true
