the art of serial making

indian hindi tv serials are seriously not my cup of tea. i barely watch them simply because of the unwanted story stretching, bastardization of stolen soundtracks of English movies in the best possible manner, exaggeration of every tiny details, out of sync dressing i.e. always in a ready-for-shaadi dressing mode, maybe they find those heavy saris too functional to be peeled off even in the moment of nature's call, lack of character driven stories, nothing you can relate to your lives and what not. however i lately accidentally started watching some of serials being aired on Zindagi Channel i.e. Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Dil-E-Nadan and i cant stop saying that i am very much impressed with the style of serial making in Pakistan, in addition to their sense for music. they work too much on story, screenplay, dialogues and direction that you can relate any of those stories to your ongoing processions of lives. it feels as if you are watching a movie made so simplistically without any unwanted ingredients i mentioned above which are rampant in almost every tv serial comes on indian television channels. i totally love the concept of having a theme song, having a tune which can repeatedly been played in between and this is what is always there in their serials. have a look at the soundtrack they create for instance Dile-E-Nadan - too melodious and too well placed having Alycia Dias voicing back and forth the title song plus the character being played by immensely beautiful and talented Sanam Jung, clap! So without giving a second thought, i downloaded the entire series and finished it in two days after having been moved by three S - soundtrack, style an Sanam Jung. i feel its high time that we should learn from them, deviate ourselves from this idiotic style so as to make the creation and watching processes more sensible, realistic and joyful. no better way than ending it with this beautiful verse sung by Alycia Dias ~ 

Qayamat hai ye tark-e-arzu bhi
Mujhey aksar wo yaad aya bohat hai
