Instep Today
Sun, 04, 21
It’s raining rom-coms on television and the Ramazan drama serials we are watching have, delightfully, so far managed to steer far away from regressive narrative tropes like sister rivalry, the archaic saas-bahu-aur-saazish formula, premarital heartaches and despicably banal extra-marital affairs.
This Ramazan, Pakistani mainstream television has turned to light, youthful and desi romantic comedies to brighten your evenings post iftar. These family friendly rom-coms, which are a genre of their own, come at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about massive misery with personal and professional losses. Thus as content consumers, we’re enjoying the respite these three Ramazan serials have to offer.
Five things that make Dikhawa: Season 2 incredibly interesting
Drama series Dikhawa has resurfaced with a new season after it left an imprint on the minds of the audience last year with its meaningful theme.
The second installment in the franchise of Dikhawa indicates new things to look forward to; an exciting cast, a realistic approach, strongest sense of understanding, and an urge to do better.
You’re in for reawakening
The Dikhawa franchise is already famed for portraying the repercussions of materialism and posturing in the society with its first season which leads to the realization of how the act of showing off can deeply impact others.

Short series Dikhawa has been renewed for a second season this Ramazan to complement Geo’s special broadcasting for the spiritually-rewarding month.
With standalone episodes and topics of vital importance, the moral-based series was able to send a sincere message of empathy and the value of reflection and self-correction with its first season.
This year, Dikhawa has arrived with a star-studded cast including Mansha Pasha, Mohsin Abbas Haider, Noaman Sami, Syed Jibran, Mehmood Aslam, Nawal Saeed and other recognized faces from the industry.
Many phenomenal writers like Soofia Khurram, Nuzhat Saman, Amber Azhar, Suraj Baba, Tanveer Fatima, Shabnam Sani, Saira Arif and Samra Bukhari have come together to give the audience a much-needed reawakening.
