Chand Girhan was directed by Hyder Imam Rizvi but on titles they said it was directed by Tajidar Adil.

Rashid Dar directed Andhera Ujala, Fareb, Hazaron Rasten, Sooraj ke Sath Sath, Patt JhaR, Khwahish as well.
Darya was directed by Muhammad Azeem, who also directed Neele Hath and Zameen (probably PaRao as well).

yes on titles its tajdar adil, i was also confused on this but saw haider imam rizvi's interview many years ago and he mentioned chaand girhan among his directorial work.....
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Directors
It was PTV’s policy then they allowed their directors to direct plays for NTM on the condition that they have to surrender half of their PTV salary. So you can see many NTM projects directed by such people (strange names sheen, etc) who never produced anything once NTM gone.

Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Directors
Who was the director of ptv drama saahil, it was also a good work, i think few initial episodes were directed by sahira kazmi, then by yawar hayat.
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Directors
you are right. initial episodes by Sahira Kazmi and then by Yawar Hayyat. Same was the situation with serial ‘Nasheman’. It was also directed by Sahira Kazmi and Yawar Hayaat. Yawar Hayat has Jhok Sayal , Jheel, Wadi, Dahleez, Lazawaal, Samandar
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Directors
These mediocre works were much much better than today’s most talked projects
Another classic by Rashid Dar is ‘Man chale ka sauda’ a very difficult script but well executed.
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Directors
offcourse, actually mediocre as compare to other works of that time, today’s work don’t exist in my list and have stopped watching them…
Mann chale ka sauda :k:

Yawar Hayaat also directed Ashfaq Ahmed's Qila Kahani introducing 'Uzma Gilani'.
