DRAMA
YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Abstract
Television Drama is the youngest branch of Sindhi drama. Pakistan
Television started Sindhi programs from January 22 1970. First Sindhi
Drama “Zeenat” was telecast on January 29, 1970.
There was a time, when Sindhi dramas were jam-packed with
number of talented producers, directors, writers as well as actors. Many
talented entities opened their eyes here. Sindhi dramas proved to have an
intense effect on the viewers from the very beginning. But now gradually
this impact is drifting off. Few dramas of PTV also achieved an awards
on world level.
After 2002, private satellite channels like KTN and Sindh TV
emerged, now more than 10 private Sindhi TV channels are on-air in
Pakistan. These channels are presenting sub standard dramas like, Pathar
Dunya and Dunya Dardan Ji. The usual and all-inclusive theme of these
dramas is tight-fisted and based on feudalism, sub-standard comedy,
vulgarity, terrorism, and immoral dialogues.
According to some writers such spectacular exhibition of feudalist
lifestyle is actually creating antagonism and severe fissures between
social classes. Whereby, entirely obliterating chances of inspiring
positive changes. The prime focus should be on themes that the general
viewership can relate to. Nowadays, merely 10% dramas of these private
channels are promoting Sindhi culture, while others are representing
Sindhi people as orthodox. Past, Present and future of Sindhi T.V drama
will be discussed in this article
