Why Pakistani hit dramas like Danish Taimoor's Man Mast Malang must be on your binge list this summer

Whether you’re sprawled out on the couch with a cold drink or sneaking in a few episodes between errands, these dramas are guaranteed to keep you hooked.

Let’s start with Sher, the buzziest drama of the season that’s got viewers tuning in like clockwork.

Airing every Wednesday and Thursday, this ARY Digital show stars Danish Taimoor as the brooding Sher Zaman and Sarah Khan as the poised and intelligent Dr. Fajar.

It’s a classic slow-burn romance with all the high-stakes tension you’d expect from a drama written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Aehsun Talish.

With just a few episodes out, the series has already made a splash thanks to its sharp storytelling, lush visuals, and a supporting cast that includes the always-compelling Atiqa Odho and Arjumand Rahim. Whether you're in it for the love story or the layered family drama, Sher is impossible to pause.

Then there’s Parwarish, which delivers a masterclass in family conflict and emotional nuance. Set in a world where generational expectations and personal dreams often collide, this drama strikes a chord with anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood at home.

Featuring seasoned actors like Naumaan Ijaz and Savera Nadeem, alongside rising stars Samar Jafri and Aina Asif, Parwarish has already aired 22 episodes—and each one packs a punch. It’s the kind of show that leaves you reflecting on your own family dynamics, long after the credits roll. If you love your drama with depth and heart, this one’s for you.

And if you’re in the mood for something raw and real, Dastak is the emotional powerhouse of the summer. Premiered earlier this year, this drama—directed by Marina Khan and written by Sarwat Nazir—dives deep into the struggles of single mothers navigating a judgmental society. Sohai Ali Abro delivers a standout performance, supported by Ali Raza in a role that balances empathy and tension beautifully.

With 39 episodes already out, Dastak isn’t just a drama—it’s an emotional journey that challenges perceptions and champions resilience.

These dramas aren’t just trending—they’re tapping into universal themes of love, loss, family, and self-worth, all while delivering stylish storytelling and unforgettable characters. So, if your watchlist is looking a little empty, this is your cue to dive into the world of Pakistani television. Whether you start with the smoldering romance of Sher, the thoughtful conflicts in Parwarish, or the gut-punch realism of Dastak, you’re in for a summer of unforgettable storytelling.
