The year 2020 is about to end, and with it will end a fabulous run of HUM TV dramas that kept the audience glued to their seats all year round. From Ehd-e-Wafa and Yeh Dil Mera that carried on from 2019, to Mushk and Saraab that will welcome 2021 with interesting episodes, every drama this year raised the bar in its own manner. Let’s go through some of the best HUM TV dramas that came, were watched, and conquered the viewers.
Chalawa
Writer: Shahid Nizami
Director: Shamoon Abbasi, Najaf Bilgrami
Cast: Ali Ansari, Noor Zafar Khan, Naveen Waqar, Usama Khan, Samina Ahmed, Adnan Jaffar, Naveed Raza & Others.
Chalawa is one of the few plays where the writer and director deliberately stepped into ‘horror’ territory and came out victorious. Co-directed by Shamoon Abbasi and Najaf Bilgrami, it brings back the ‘90s vibes where up and coming directors would attempt something new, instead of following the run of the mill stuff. The story revolves around a possessed young girl who has supernatural powers and is a danger to herself and to those close to her.
Dulhan
Writer: Adeel Razzaq
Director: Adeel Siddiqui
Cast: Sami Khan, Sumbul Iqbal, Faizan Khawaja, Mashal Khan, Shaheen Khan, Nida Mumtaz
Don’t go by the name. Dulhan is a thriller that came out at the right time to save 2020. With Sami Khan, Sumbul Iqbal, Mashal Khan and Faizan Khawaja in the lead, it focuses on two boys who came up with an unusual bet, one that destroyed the life of a girl. How the girl stages her comeback and grows from a weak person to someone ready to take them head-on is what makes the play special.
Dil Ruba
Writer: Qaisera Hayat
Director: Ali Hassan
Cast: Hania Aamir, Mohib Mirza, Nabeel Zuberi, Laila Wasti, Marina Khan, Durr e Shehwar, Shahroz Sabzwari, Syed Jibran, Ghana Ali
Hania Aamir delivered a superlative performance as Sanam, a happy go lucky girl who gets married many times over because of her novel approach to love. While her first husband dies and she agrees to marry a rich guy for security, things move way too fast for her to lose everything she had built; how she manages to steer away from problems make Dil Ruba worth your while.
Ehd e Wafa
Writer: Mustafa Afridi
Director: Saife Hasan
Cast: Ahad Raza Mir, Ahmed Ali Akbar, Osman Khalid Butt, Wahaj Ali, Alizeh Shah, Hajra Yamin, Faraz Inam, Vaneeza Ahmed, Naeema Butt
Ehd-e-Wafa is the journey of four friends who began their friendship in college and took it to another level by the time they were back in the same vicinity, not as students but as honorable guests. They fought with each other, they planned against each other but in the end, they couldn’t live without each other, making Ehd-e-Wafa something one shouldn’t miss at any cost.
Kashf
Writer: Imran Nazir
Director: Danish Nawaz
Cast: Junaid Khan, Hira Mani, Waseem Abbas, Munza Arif, Hajra Khan, Samina Ahmed, Saleem Miraj, Lubna Aslam
Kashf was one of the most-watched TV dramas of the year because it broke the taboo and discussed those elements of religion that exploit people for their own monetary gains. Junaid Khan and Hira Mani were excellent throughout the serial and kept the audience engaged although the climax left the viewers disappointed.
Mushk
Writer: Imran Ashraf
Director: Aehsun Talish
Cast: Imran Ashraf, Mawra Hocane, Momal Sheikh, Osama Tahir, Manzoor Qureshi, Aehsun Talish, Raza Talish, Seher Khan, Zara Tareen, Hasan Ahmed
Mushk takes you back into the classic era of PTV where the plot revolved around an ensemble cast and things resolved in the very last episode. Both Aehsun Talish and Imran Ashraf must be commended for giving Mushk their best, and the effort is visible in the near-perfect execution of the drama. Every actor is fit in his or her character whereas Imran Ashraf’s dialogues are worth a meme — a constructive, positive and productive meme!
Pyaar Ke Sadqay
Writer: Zanjabeel Asim Shah
Director: Farooq Rind
Cast: Bilal Abbas, Yumna Zaidi, Omair Rana, Atiqa Odho, Yashma Gill, Srha Asgr, Salma Hasan
HUM TV continued to highlight mental health issues even in 2020 with Pyar Ke Sadqay, where Bilal Abbas and Yumna Zaidi played a couple that had nothing in common. One was traumatized as a child by his stepfather while the other was a little slow in grasping everything. Together, they managed to brave the efforts of his stepfather to come up on top, and save each other in the process.
Sabaat
Writer: Kashif Anwar
Director: Shehzad Kashmiri
Cast: Mawra Hocane, Ameer Gilani, Sarah Khan, Usman Mukhtar, Moazzam Ali Khan, Leyla Zuberi, Azra Mansoor, Jahanzeb Khan, Mohammad Ahmed, Seemi Raheal, Kashif Anwar
Everyone knew that actress Sarah Khan’s girl next door charisma made her a crowd favourite; however not many knew that when given the opportunity, she could make the audience hate her. As Miraal, she made life hell for her folks that included her grandmother, her parents, her brother and his wife beside her own husband who stayed with her till she reformed in the end, but not after everything she planned backfired, leaving her with nothing.
Saraab
Writer: Edison Idrees Masih
Director: Mohsin Talat
Cast: Sami Khan, Sonya Hussain, Aurangzeb Laghari, Farida Shabbir, Ghana Ali, Nazish Jehangir, Sajid Shah, Kinza Malik
In an era of illogical dramas, be like Saraab since it makes the audience aware of a condition that exists in people around us, but we don’t accept it as one. In this psychological thriller Sonya Hussyn plays Hoorain who suffers from schizophrenia and doesn’t know the difference between an illusion and a person in front of her. What makes it all the more interesting is the fact that both the illusion and reality are one and the same person, her husband.
Ye Dil Mera
Writer: Farhat Ishtiaq
Director: Aehsun Talish
Cast: Ahad Raza Mir, Sajal Aly, Adnan Siddiqui, Farhan Ally Agha, Zarnish Khan, Mira Sethi, Paras Rabia Butt, Natasha Hussain, Maryam Mirza, Naima Khan
Ye Dil Mera could have been a blockbuster film had the makers went for it; it has elements of everything from a thriller flick, a suspenseful movie, a revenge saga, and a romantic film all combined into one. Since Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly got married during the airing of the drama, it made the audience more curious, and they wanted a happy ending, which they didn’t get in the end.
