Pakistani dramas have been at the core of our entertainment business for decades, bringing amazing talent from actors, writers and directors into the spotlight and acting as one of the country’s most accessible forms of entertainment. In this regard, HUM network has time and again proved their supremacy with meaningful content. They deserve all the accolades in portraying a significant role to flourish the entertainment fraternity of Pakistan. The news from the center is that HUM TV is all set to mesmerize the viewers with a lineup of 5 promising dramas. Without further ado, let’s have a look.
1. Lapatta
Writer and Director: Khizer Idrees
Cast: Ayeza Khan, Mirza Gohar Rasheed, Sarah Khan and Ali Rehman
The makers have marketed ‘Lapatta’ with a very smart approach. It’s been over a month since the teasers and promos started to pour in. One after the other, the drama serial has kept us intrigued for various reasons. The electrifying chemistry between Sarah Khan and Ali Rehman. They both hail from different backgrounds; Sarah plays an athlete while Ali is a typical gali ga awara (goon) who is either gambling around or beating innocent people. It would be exciting to see the fate of this love story. Ayeza Khan on the other hand had already disclosed that she plays an aspiring TikToker ‘Gaiti’ via her different looks. She is bubbly and fun-loving but that isn’t it. There are dark shades of hues in the narrative. Gohar Rasheed’s character hasn’t been revealed much. Summing up the entire factors ‘Lapatta’ will surely be an interesting watch. It will air from 28th July, every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
