As ‘uncool’ as it has become these days, PTV is still one of the best sources of a variety of entertainment ranging from documentaries, political discussions, interviews, folk and traditional music that can still put these big budget private channels to shame. One such show is Virsa, a live musical show held at the yousuf sali haveli

Full Show-Allama Iqbal Special

^ agreed. The difference is that everyone knows and talks about coke studio but no one from the younger generation knows virsa (or PTV for that matter ) :)

The Allama Iqbal rendition by Rahat Fateh Ali is good too


The virsa series is making a good contribution but I think the difference is that Coke heavily promotes its own show whereas PTV does not really have the resources to compete with its promotional capabilities. A negative point though is this program sometimes asking its some of its audience (models!) for their thoughts who can say nothing of any worth.
