Top Pakistani Shows on Zee5 You Should Watch

When Pakistan and India used to be on considerably better relationships, India’s channel Zee Zindagi used to solely air Pakistani dramas. These dramas were loved by viewers both in India and Pakistan. It was quite a popular channel which introduced major Pakistani dramas to the Indian audience, mainly Humsafar, Dhoop Chaon and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. But the channel stopped airing Pakistani dramas due to tensions on the border.

Now, the Zee entertainment channel has an online platform named Zee5, which is home to many Pakistani dramas such as Bin-Roye and Diyar-e-Dil.

Check out the 5 most talked about Pakistani shows on Zee5 that you should add to your watchlist:

1. Churails

Churails was a rollercoaster ride of tears, laughs and trying to come up with our own little manifesto of how to deal with misogyny. Although there was a lot of criticism, that was due to the fact that Churails gave us what other Pakistani shows couldn’t, i.e. pure rage against the patriarchy. Released on August 11th 2020, the show was loved by both Indian and Pakistani fans, and is considered to be one of the best Pakistani dramas on Zee5.

2. Aik Jhooti Love Story
