Bano qudsia's long play surkh batti (based on mirat-ul-uroos saani) was also nice, good dramatization of it.....
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Writers
Bano Qudsia wrote TV script of this story herself. Saba Hameed did wonderful acting in that. Some shades of her first hit ‘Mama Seemi’ were also there in this role.
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Writers
Does anyone know anything about Bee Gul the writer of Talkhiyan based on "The god of small things"? I can't seem to unearth any biographical notes or trivia on someone who adapted one of the most complex and riveting literary works of the 20th century to the screen and surely deserves more recognition and accolades for it.

Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Writers
Another good writer is Zakia Akbar having serials like Kashish, Uljhan, Kath-putli (all directed by Kazim Pasha) and Saye (Directed by Shahzad Khalil) on her credit.
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Writers
There was a time when Zafar Mairaj was coming with impressive scripts like Safar, Ijaazat (PTV). His series 'Chadar aur Chaar Dewari', 'Maa aur Mamta' had some good plays, but all his works with Zeba Bakhtiyar like Masuri, Muqadas, Mulaqaat, Mehmaan don't inspire much. His scripts still have originality and some thought, but he lost some where while in between his serials.

He is definitely a good writer.....
Re: Tribute to Pakistani Drama Writers
Amar Jaleel has written some different scripts, but always complained that his scripts were edited a lot to lost the meaning. Inspite of all this he came up with serials like 'Bhanwar', 'Sarang', 'Zeest', "Mere Dil Mere Musafir' from National media. He was able to convey his thoughts more openly in his Sindhi scripts.

Didn’t see any work of Khalida Hussain, who wrote script of ‘Aashob’ starring (Laila Zuberi, Mehmood Aslam, Asif Seemab, Sehrish Khan, Aliya Imam). Is she the same short story writer who has recently written a novel ‘Kaghazi Ghaat’:
