I think so too. I still go to gym during Ramzan, but I stay so tired the whole day. Even when I wake up during sehri I'm in a sleep trance 😆. I usually eat lighter things like sandwiches during sehri since you have to go to sleep shortly after so why eat super heavy. If I have to eat burgers, kachoris, kababs I prefer that for Iftar.

I find KAM3 a tad bit overrated solely because I can name a handful of dramas that deserved the 10M views a day landmark before this, but it's okay. Just a bit slow. From Pakistan I'm watching so many but right now I'm really enjoying Raqeeb Se, Tana Bana, and Shehnai. Chupke Chupke is fine but I think there's scope for improvement... I'm quite behind on PSM and Qayamat since I was outside the country but I do plan on catching up when time allows.... Indian I'm watching Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha, Imlie, Mehendi, Namak and ShauryaAnokhi. I love Shaurya aur anokhi it's so good ☺️ i quit ghum hai because the track was so annoying and the show is negative

I think it's okay because to me it makes no sense to quit habits only for 1 month only to start them again for 11 months.. even Arab countries have these ramzan dramas too. I think there should be a mix of actual religious programming and dramas but priority should be given to ibadat!

Yes Kam3 is overrated.

Are you not watching Raqse bismil?

I m liking CC. It's best among these three ramadan dramas.

Take care of yourself 😊

For me it only started in Ramadan...before Ramadan I tried to change my schedule and become a night owl so that I wouldnt struggle during Ramadan...but I guess it didnt work. As soon as my body gets food, it wants sleep🤣 last night I only had cereal and went to sleep...I hope I wont get hungry today🤔 dont sandwiches make you more thirsty? I prefer that kind of stuff for iftar. I used to have parathas for sehri but then it became too heavy

KAM3 is def overrated. The script is awful and not just because im comparing it to the other KAM versions, but Hashim usually writes deep spiritual stuff and this script I must say is his most disappointing one so far. Feroze and Iqra doing well respectively and for once I am enjoying Iqras acting but thats the only one good thing about the drama. How are you managing so many dramas along with school?😲 I am loving Shaurya too. Namak is kind of disappointing. Kahani is boring compared to Guls other herines.

Yeah I get what you mean but even if you change habits for one month I would say its very rewarding because its a very holy month. And well its a persons own choice if they want to watch dramas while fasting or not, but my point was what is the purpose of creating special dramas with the excuse of Ramadan to just show haraam stuff and encourage more sin? They could just continue airing normal dramas.

I have always been a night owl. I stay up till 4 5am on weekends but adjust fine on weekdays when I have to get up. I guess it's about how bodies adjust with internal clock. And me too, I get so sleepy after iftar 🤣. Sandwiches, depends on what's in them to make you thirsty. I haven't had pizza for iftar yet but I've been craving it terribly, since I see ads for sehri deals with pizza in Pakistan. I think light food for sehri is fine and I don't like overeating for no reason because it makes no sense to stuff yourself to the limits.

I have never watched KAM1 or 2 cause around that time I wasn't watching Pakistani shows at all. Hashim Nadeem wrote IZN and I liked it but I think this time they tried to make it more mainstream so it gets more views and that's what I feel made the show not as good as I thought it'd be. Ishqiya was similarly crazy overrated too, it was terribly slow and the whole show had no movement till last episode. I usually watch them when I have free time which is a lot now, since teachers stopped caring about classes since we graduate in June 🥱 and if I fall behind on shows I just binge them later. I binged the last 4-5 Imlie episodes and they were good but they're doing Malini so bad 😔. Now that Yug-Kahani full fledged love track began I think it'll get better because that's what viewers were watching for. I wonder if any of these shows are gonna look different because they've shifted sets to places like Hyderabad, Goa.

Yeah I agree with you that there's really no purpose to creating extra shows. And plus many times shows get more fame after the Ramzan airing (Suno Chanda and Chand Pe Dastak being examples) because lots people don't have time to watch them during Ramadan. I think airing such shows in the summer is better where there's a wider audience to watch them because most people have extra time.

Thank you Azaan. I think you don't want to become fat , or is it because you fear having high suger problems? 😕I remember seeing your pics with famiy on fb once. I think you posted your account here, and I went there out of curiosity. I don't really remember..maybe I found you on fb, because we have a common friend. 😳

It's a mix of both because unhealthy lifestyle is never good, and they even released studies that when you are unhealthy your more likely to get coronavirus 😔. Oh really? Haha, probably my name came when I post screenshots from Facebook 😆, or as you said we have a mutual friend so that came up.

Yes I caught up on Raqs e bismil yesterday actually I was quite behind. It's gotten better now as some episodes before were slower. Best part of this Friday episode is when Zohra gives her kasam to tell him to stop him from killing that man 🥺.

Yes CC is good. I think HUM did a good job with Ramadan shows this year, I guess they needed some saving grace because many of their shows were panned by viewers; like Qarar, Dil Tanha Tanha, and others.

Thank you Nina. I hope your having a blessed Ramadan 🤗.

I used to be a night owl too until last year. Now im an early bird😆 i crave pizza too...might order tomorrow :( yeah same I also like to eat lighter plus I dont wanna gain more weight. Ramadan is a good time to lose weight lol

I think the shifting sets is just temporary for 2 weeks

I wonder if these shows have anything to do with Ramadan though?😆are they religious stories?

Yeah it's bit slower but still engaging. Yeah that tumhari zohra sounded well 😍.

I m really enjoying watching CC. They should make more of such dramas in regular days not only in Ramadan.

Thanks yes Alhumdullilah 😊

I want to tell you how Arab Ramazan dramas were. They were a mix of fun shows, historical ones, and religious dramas. They used to make us feel more attatched to our religion and bright history. But alas. Nowadays they air plenty of dramas on Ramadhan .. they make this month full of dramas so that ppl forget about ibadat. There're no more religious or historical dramas.. all are pure entertainment. And I am sad to see the amount of bold scenes , and bad language in these dramas. I hope nothing like this happens in Pakistani industry.

I know there's nothing harmfull in Pakistani Ramadhan special dramas. They are fun watch. But I am afraid their success may resulted in making more dramas for Ramadhan , and then forgetting about the content which suits this Holy month. It is just one month.. and it is a good chance to make a full usage of it in coming nearer to Allah. Allah bless you my son.😳

Pakistani celebs are demanding royalties for artists

Who are artists? Because these actor actress are just entertainer, so who are they talking about.

Or are they calling themselves artist ? 😆

Majority of these so called "artists" cannot perform without direction from director as per what they claim in their interviews, not that with directions from directors they could act. What a joke.

Thank you for discussing this topic, but I think you should read this article to form a better informations about this issue:

I respect Pakistani actors and consider them artists, coz they are hard workers.. if not for their hard work, we wouldn't enjoyed watching many masterpieces from Pakistani drama industry since years. I know there are actors who lack the talent, but they deserve to be paid for their work, coz without them dramas won't be made, channels won't be gaining through ads and websites. 😊
