Nice topic!
My all time favorite is Nijaat starring Noman Aijaz, Atiqa Odho, Sajid Hassan, Marina Khan, Huma Nawab. Directed by Sahira Kazmi. Script by Asghar Nadeem Sayyad. It has also one of my fav. background score sung by Nayarra Noor and penned by Faiz Ahmed Faiz that is 'mera dard naghma-e-besada, meri zaat zarra-e-benishan'.
I think I already mentioned this somewhere on this forum before that Nijaat is one of those shows that should be part of our curriculum in schools to teach humanity to our children. It is only a 13 episodes show but the range of issues that it touches upon is simple enormous . Also, it was broadcasted in 1993 but even after more than 20 years the issues are still relevant in fact I personally think it was way ahead of its time because some of those issues are way more relevant now. For example it talks about 1. Child marriage, 2. Child labour, 3. Child abuse, 4. Gender discrimination, 5. Population control,6. Illegal drugs, 7. Beggar Mafia, 8. Child smuggling, 9. Labour Unions, 10. Domestic abuse, 11. No availability of proper health resources in small cities, 12. Governance issues in small cities, 13. Religious oppression/extremism, 14. Illegal hunting of our fauna, 15. Employment shortage, 16. Women oppression ...etc. etc. etc. and I guess I have still missed quite a few.
Phew.. hmm ok so the sum total of the gabble above is...Do watch the show! it is really good.
