Drama "Zeenat Binte Sakina Haazir Ho" on geo tv
Zeenat Binte Sakina Haazir Ho
Based on a series of true incidents, this serial is a love story set against the backdrop of Pakistan’s prevailing feudal system. The serial also lays bare the country’s volatile political scenario and questions the many human rights movements that are running within it.
The story revolves around Shumaila and Bilal, two star-crossed lovers whose eventual love marriage sets of a chain of high-profile and politically motivated events. Angry at their marrying of their own accord, certain elements from both the couple’s families try to twist things around so that Bilal is eventually accused of kidnapping Shumaila and committing Zina. From here on starts the couple’s suffering, as they become victims of a viscous cycle of political conspiracy and family politics. Shumaila and Bilal are forced to part, as she is taken captive in an isolated part of the country and his life is in danger because certain ‘elements’ want to kill him for the ‘sin’ he has supposedly committed. While the country’s media and human rights movements do hype up the case, they of course only do so as a way of achieving high ratings and extra funding, leaving the couple as alone and helpless as ever. In a gripping climax, Shumaila is almost made to bow to pressure from her captives to go against Bilal in court. She resists, only to find Bilal himself bowing down to pressure by claiming that he never married Shumaila after all. The question is, that has Bilal really bowed down to pressure, or is his statement just part of the plan to get himself and his wife out of this grueling situation.
A serial that is based for the most part on true stories and has been filmed in real locations including Sukkur, Karachi, Jamshoro, Rahim Yar Khan and Pir Jo Goth. Almost all judicial proceedings and judges remarks have been taken from real life cases, and just serve to highlight how common the story is for couples who marry of their own free will.
This is one serial, which is deeply rooted in Pakistan’s current socio-cultural context and comments on the many drawbacks and flaws that stem from the country’s feudal culture.

Drama serial Tumhe Kuch Yaad Hai Jaana on Geo tv
Tumhe Kuch Yaad Hai Jaana
Would you be too proud to tell someone you loved them...in the hope that the object of your affection would one day fall at your feet confessing their undying love for you? Well that’s exactly what the protagonist of this play Dariya does. Set against the backdrop of a powerful business empire this is a play which talks about how pride can sometimes cost you a lifetime’s worth of happiness.
This serial is a melodrama which revolves around the ‘silent’ love that Dariya has for Nayan, her father’s business partner’s son. When Nayan eventually proposes to and marries Dariya’s best friend and confidant Zartaab, she deals with it in the only way she can, by letting her pride and ego lead the way. Sadly, Zartaab and Nayan's wedding day was touched by tragedy when Nayan and Dariya's fathers died in a car crash on the same night. Now, perhaps driven by envy more than anything else, Dariya starts blaming Zartaab and Nayan for her father's death and vows to take revenge from them. What follows, is a series of fights for company shares, Nayan’s paralysis in a car accident and Zartaab’s vow to fight back by creating a business empire of her own. The question is how will it all end? And will Dariya ever be able to look beyond her ego and pride-two emotions that consume her so completely at the moment? Watch to find out!
