Pakistani drama ... limited to divorce and slapping?

Pakistani dramas..... limited to divorce and slapping?

Sania, what do you want? You made my life hell. "

"I don't want anything, I just want a divorce, just divorce me." Sania shouted.

Sania and Aamir were both playing. At the same time, when there was an argument between them, something happened.

I was shocked when my cousin Khaleda told me this story, because these two children are between the ages of 12 and 14 and their thinking is becoming so negative.

Apart from the neglect of parents by children, the miracle of the social media age is that so-called modernity has been instilled in Pakistani drama in the name of innovation. What has pornography and fabrication given to our society? What came down scarfs from the heads became a rope around the neck. The script, not the script, has become a common denominator.

Well, let alone these dramas, when the streets were deserted for Pakistani dramas in the evening, when these dramas were in full swing in the neighboring countries. Gone are the days when Pakistani artists were admired in everyone's eyes.

Now there are playwrights like Dr. Anwar Sajjad, Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, Bano Qudsia, Asghar Nadeem Syed, Hasina Moin and we need ratings. For which every channel is crossing every limit.

Admittedly, some good digest writers like Umairah Ahmed, Farhat Ishtiaq, Faiza Iftikhar Chanda wrote many good plays. Fasih Bari Khan, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar and Imran Nazir are also not new faces. But I don't know why nowadays the script seems to revolve around divorce and slapping.

In a country where everyone is a writer on social media and believes in the following two assumptions, what can be expected?

The first assumption is that everyone thinks I can write and the second is that I can write on every subject. What hope is there for improvement?

In our case, the story is no longer moving forward with continuity and curiosity. Yes, but it is definitely known that, now either a slap will be granted or a divorce will be ordered.

Now structured dialogues are spoken later, the first characters are reflected in slaps and noises. Now, even if there is no marriage of choice or the daughter runs away from home, there are 'activities' outside the husband or the wife is not faithful. Be it financial problems or psychological disorders. The amorphous dialogues of these dramas have brought all the relationships including father, son, mother, daughter and siblings against each other by destroying their sanctity.

I'm not talking about all playwrights, not all artists, but I'm talking about a trend that's growing alarmingly. Why do we want to say in our writings that divorce is a good thing and married life cannot be run by reconciliation?

Our educated cities have an average of 150 divorces a day. There were 18,770 divorces in Lahore in 2017, a record. In 2018, 15,800 khula cases were filed in the Lahore High Court and 8 family courts in Lahore issued khula degrees to 7,707 women.

Why can't we say in our writings that divorce breaks up a family? Husbands and wives are separated, children suffer the most. Family court cases are resolved too late, with nothing but wastage of money and humiliation.

Don't say that's what people want to see. People always want to look good, people want entertainment that is happening in their personal lives and it is full of bitterness they do not want to see on the screen.

Public opinion is always formed. Policies are formulated. Good writers are sought and good artists are made.

Believe that drama is still an important force influencing our society, which can be corrected in time.
