Several eras have passed and the milestones created. Analysing the television and film industry, the stepping stone was laid with ‘black and white tv motion pictures’, today growing to OTT platforms. Same was the evolutionary journey of the genres of serials and movies that came up in each centuries. Currently in Asian entertainment industry post Korean dramas it is an era for Pakistani Dramas. It is very rare that a regional story line reaches the audience in larger number. But the drama, ‘Tere Bin’ from Pakistan has set a benchmark on ‘How the dramas should be’.
The record creating drama of the country has received the viewership from India, Bangladesh and most of the South Asian countries including the origin country Pakistan.
In comparison to the TV serials of Indian Industry, the dramas of Pakistan are something entertainment industry worldwide should learn from. A cultural mile stone on how television industry can avail good heights with minimum but good contents.
The episodes of the drama of Pakistan tv shows end with maximum of 20 to 50, and similar are Turkish dramas. Further in matters of any important twists and turns of the drama, Indian tv begin the spoiler through their promos and drag the serial to a week in which the highlighted event will never be telecasted. Indeed it may slightly make the people continue as the viewers but if asked on whether it will have a long lasting impact on viewers mind, then the answer will be a no.
It is now, the tv shows have to change the set culture of dragging any events. The set tradition of having more episodes means more is the success rate of the show, should be done with. In stead of bringing in leap to enhance the TRPs, the route to gain viewership’s should vary. The entire set of episodes should come in with a particular story line and end with the same rather using test and drive method through various plots.
It is the socio, religious and cultural assimilations which Indian share with its neighbour country that the dramas of the country seem attractive to us. And so, it is the time for Indian story/plot writers, producers and directors to wake up to a call, of change which has already wide spread. And implement the evolution in upcoming projects as a milestone in our entertainments industries too.
