PTV's Golden Era vs. Today: How Money Killed Creativity in Pakistani Dramas

In this video, I delve deep into the ongoing creativity crisis in Pakistani dramas and films. Why has storytelling shifted from the powerful social narratives of the 1980s and 1990s to today's repetitive, commercial formulas? I argue that the root cause is economic pressure. When creators lack government funding and institutional support (as PTV once had), they are forced to chase ratings and make content solely based on public demand and commercial viability, stifling artistic risk and social commentary. I also tackle a controversial aspect: the portrayal of women. While some feminist critiques demand consistently "powerful" portrayals, I discuss why showing the docile or oppressed woman is a reflection of a harsh social reality for many. The problem isn't showing it, but glamorizing or selling it as positive. These stories should be shown as negative to critique the reality, not to normalize it. What do you think? Should media lead society or mirror it? Can commercial success and meaningful storytelling coexist in Pakistan? Join the debate in the comments below!
