KARACHI: TV dramas are now giving competition to talk shows. It is a huge achievement that despite a plethora of channels the public can still recall names of actors and dramas. There is no diversity in drama serials. These days, dramas focus on women’s never-ending sob act.
These polarising views were expressed at a session titled ‘Drama and the Small Screen’ on Sunday, the final day of the fifth Karachi Literature Festival. Moderated by TV director Sarmad Sultan Khoosat, the panel had two channel owners Sultana Siddiqui and Seema Taher Khan who favoured an optimistic overview of TV dramas, scriptwriters Hasina Moin, Attiya Dawood and actor Shakeel preferred bemoaning the declining standards of the small screen.
