Pick any Khoosat production, and you will be impressed by his narrative that exposes the flaws in our society. Among his heartwarming tales, Baaghi and Akhri Station are the two greatest. This narrative revolves around Sanam Saeed, a.k.a. Tehmina, who became a mental health sufferer after seeing her mother commit suicide by falling from a rooftop. She married later, but sadness was slowly killing her. Nothing could assist her, from a therapist to peaceful nature views to giving birth to a kid.

Her world is turned upside down when she meets a gang of ladies on the same train. These ladies recounted their terrible stories episode after episode and listening to them helped Tehmina liberate her mind from despair. Who were these ladies?

Our society's ordinary women were tormented, abused, prostituted, acidified, and abandoned by their husbands. The only thing these seven tales had in common was the pain they all went through. The tales were an emotional roller coaster.

Do Bol is one of the most-watched dramas of 2019, with an excellent tale that is slightly different from the usual serials.

The tale of a collegiate couple who were madly in love but fell apart at a critical juncture. Hamza, the boy, questioned her love, saying that she shouldn't be concerned about sharing her intimate images with him if she trusts him. Pakeeza, the girl, was going to surprise her with the personal pictures on her phone when the snatchers took her phone, and the images spread like fragrance in the air, which later became an embarrassment for her. Nothing was ready to greet her, from desertion by her biological family to r*pe and torture.

The narrative of this drama is incredibly applicable to today's youngsters, which is why I've included it in my best dramas of Pakistan list. It gave me shivers to think about what may happen if we become involved in prohibited relationships.

Khaas - the Masterpiece

(Image credit: hum.tv)

Another Sanam's Baloch megahit series in which she marries the sole boy born with the golden spoon. His parents spoiled him to the point that he seldom feels good about anybody other than himself. He takes pride in humiliating her wife in public and making her feel horrible about herself. Despite this, Saba attempted to make the relationship work, but she soon recognized she had gotten the short end of the stick.

In these situations, Ammar's closest buddy Fakhar serves as Saba's emotional support. The worst thing a guy can do is treat women as an object. Our faith, Islam, places a high value on women's dignity. As a result, insulting them is strongly prohibited, and this incident is a prime illustration of this.
