Sometimes, all we want from a Pakistani drama is a good laugh, a little romance, and characters who make us want to keep watching. With so many intense and heavy dramas on television, going back to a fun drama can be the perfect way to unwind.
This Throwback Thursday, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting three Pakistani dramas that definitely kept us entertained with their humour, lovable characters and family messiness. Whether you’re in the mood for a laugh or simply want to pick up another drama series, take a look at the three recommendations below.
Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi: A Quirky Mix Of Love, Laughter, And Jinns
Starring Wahaj Ali, Sehar Khan, Arslan Naseer, Romaisa Khan and Sidra Niazi, Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi takes a different route from the usual Pakistani drama with its mix of horror, comedy and romance. The story follows brothers Ali and Asad, who move into their ancestral haveli after their father’s death, only to discover that the house is already home to a family of jinns. As part of their father’s will, Ali must get married within six months while the family remains in the haveli if they want to inherit the family property.
Things become even more complicated when Khushi, a jinn living in the haveli, develops feelings for Ali. What follows is a mix of supernatural encounters, family chaos, unexpected romance and plenty of comic moments as the humans and jinns find themselves caught up in each other’s lives. With its unusual storyline and lighthearted take on the supernatural, Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi makes for an easy and entertaining watch when you’re looking for something different from the usual family dramas.
The drama is written by Syed Nabeel and directed by Saife Hasan. It is a project of Momina Duraid Productions. The cast features Sehar Khan, Wahaj Ali, Syed Jibran, Arslan Naseer, Romaisa Khan, Sidra Niazi, Tamkenat Mansoor, and more
Chupke Chupke: A Heartwarming Mix Of Romance, Comedy, And Family
Starring Osman Khalid Butt, Ayeza Khan, and Mira Sethi, Chupke Chupke is a lighthearted family drama that revolves around two neighbouring families, their close-knit relationships, and the chaos that follows when their lives become increasingly intertwined. The story follows Meenu, a fun-loving and somewhat carefree young woman, whose constant bickering with Faaz, a serious and responsible member of the neighbouring family, slowly develops into something more.
While romance remains at the heart of the story, Chupke Chupke is equally driven by its colourful family dynamics, sibling relationships, misunderstandings, and plenty of playful banter. The drama stands out for keeping its conflicts relatively light while giving its characters enough personality to make their relationships entertaining to follow.
The drama is written by Saima Akram Chaudhary and directed by Danish Nawaz. It is produced by Momina Duraid Productions and stars Osman Khalid Butt, Ayeza Khan, Arslan Naseer, Mira Sethi, Aiman Saleem, and more.
Hum Tum: A Story Of Opposites, Unexpected Love, And Family Bonds
Starring Ahad Raza Mir, Ramsha Khan, Junaid Khan, and Sarah Khan, Hum Tum is a lighthearted family drama that brings together two very different families and follows the relationships, rivalries, and misunderstandings that develop between them. The story centres around Adam and Neha, whose contrasting personalities often put them at odds with each other. While Adam is disciplined and serious, Neha is outspoken, ambitious, and determined to build a life on her own terms.
As the two families become increasingly connected, their everyday arguments and playful clashes gradually make way for unexpected feelings. Alongside the central romance, the drama also explores sibling relationships, family expectations, career ambitions, and the different paths its young characters want to take in life.
The drama is written by Saima Akram Chaudhary and directed by Danish Nawaz. It is produced by Momina Duraid Productions and stars Ahad Raza Mir, Ramsha Khan, Sara Khan, Junaid Khan, and more.
