Do anyone remember Mini Serial ‘Nasl’ *ing: Atteeqa Odho, Shafi Muhammad Shah which was aired on PTV-World in late 90’s and then re-tecast on Indus TV. I think the drama was remake of PTV mini serial ‘Sunhare Log’ *ing: Sakina Sammo, Seema Rizvi. ‘Nasl’ has a very beautiful theme song ’ Tumhe yeh sochna to tha’ sung by Sadaf Munir. here is the link to the song:

Re: PTV Plays since 27 Nov-1964
^ Agreed. Chaon was an amazing serial that proved that good dramas can be made in queeta too. Kazim Pasha directed the serial very well using new cast [Laila Zubairi, Ayub Khoso, Hassam qazi, Rukhsana Jameel and Aini (girl plyaing Bela)] and new outdoor location of outskirts queeta (Hina lake, Urak). When I visited queeta with my family in 1993, we visited Hina Lake and remembered the scenes of Riaz running from police in mountains near Hina Lake. We also visited PTV Quetta Station and met some actors of then running drama 'Tikon'.

(1) Jangloos
(2) Shikast e Aarzoo
(3) Raat Rait aur Hawa
(4) Kirdaar from quetta TV

(6) Aitraaf (Based on MA Rahat's novel dramatised by: Hameed Kashmiri *ing: Laila wasti, Bushra Ansari, Qurban Jilani, Adnan and her ex-wide Sadia Jilani, Shabbir Jan)

(8) Kaffara
(9) Kashish (Fazeela Qazi did wonderful job)
(10) Uljhan (Qurban Jilani's last play)
(11) Sham se Pehle (Love to see that drama again)
(12) Kath Putli
(13) Thoda sa Aasam (Umera Ahmed's serial)
Re: PTV Plays since 27 Nov-1964
(5) Seerhian (I loved the script of Abdul Qadir Junejo and acting of Rubina Ashraf, Salman Shahid and M Warsi)
all three of them gave one of their best performance in that play. It was one great production.

Re: PTV Plays since 27 Nov-1964
This is a wonderful thread, brings back so many memories after reading comments from all of you. I would like to talk about a PTV serial named Pyas which is already mentioned in this thread. It is one of the most beautifully written plays which talks about spirituality and Sufism and at the same time shows the real life picture of Punjab. To me the best thing about this drama was its background music which was based on Shah Hussain’s kalam “Maye ni mein kinnu aakhan”. See this clip and listen to the background music at 05:31 onwards, and what an amazing acting by Abid Ali while delivering his dialogues:
It was written by Asgher Nadeem Syed & directed by late Nusrat Thakur (may Allah rest his soul in peace).
Re: PTV Plays since 27 Nov-1964
Yes, Pyas was a gr8 production.everyone performed very well. Nusrat Thakur did a wonderful job with Asghar Nadeem Syed’s script. Each and every character was well defined. Soonhara’s (played by Sohail Asghar) lines ‘aapa main sadqe theevan… Banda zara vakhri type ka hai’ were famous among the masses at that time.

Was that a long play or a serial. I remember one drama from Lahore Center ' Aali pe kia guzri' dealing with the kidnapping of children. I don't remember the exact cast of the drama except Jaziba Sultan playing mother of 'Aali'.
Re: PTV Plays since 27 Nov-1964
PTV has started re-telecasting drama serial 'Waris' everyday after Khabarnama around 9:45 to 10:00. Hope they will continue re-telecasting some classics.
