• They seriously need to focus on their storytelling - write better scripts, create interesting plots and present memorable characters. The TV industry is quite good with giving very relatable hero/heroines or side characters - for example, Ashar/Khirad from Humsafer, Afzal from Pyare Afzal, Saima Chaudary from DKAGB. So movies need to have strong central characters, not just big name ‘actors’.

• Originality! Yes, no one wants to watch a Pakistani movie that looks like a second grade Bollywood movie. For Bollywood stuff, there is Bollywood for the audience. So the need to create your own cinematic identity and taste is quite important.

• More realism. The biggest factor behind the success of Pakistani TV industry and Iranian Cinema is that it is based on very realistic way of storytelling, blurring the lines between reality and fiction so the audience can relate to it, engage with it. It’s more artistic in nature and creates a strong creative dialogue. Brain dead comedies, predictable romantic flicks or item song culture are not enough to sustain that quality.
