Moreover, almost all credible and popular actors have worked in ARY Digital Pakistani drama, making it a must-watch and audiences’ favorite channel. 

Let’s look into the details of the top 5 ARY Digital Pakistani drama in 2024.

1. Pyarey Afzal:

This Hamza Ali Abbasi and Ayeza Khan starrer received immense love and popularity, not only in Pakistan, but across the border and all around the globe. This drama went live not only once but twice on ARY Digital due to popular demand. 

Due to its massive popularity, ARY Digital Pakistani drama Pyarey Afzal’s last episode was shown in cinemas all across the country. 

The finale coincided with former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s address to the nation and many believe ‘Pyarey Afzal’ drew more attention that night.

Pyarey Afzal could very well be known as the ‘Pakistani Romeo and Juliet’. It’s a story about a boy, Afzal (Hamza Ali Abbasi) who falls in love with a girl, Farrah (Ayeza Khan) and their tortuous and unfulfilled love story. 

2. Mere Paas Tum Ho

This drama garnered the kind of success that none of its predecessors had ever gotten. With a star cast on board, Mere Paas Tum Ho struck all the right chords in its audiences’ hearts.

This Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan, and Adnan Siddiqui starrer drama was well loved by the audiences’ due to powerful acting displays, a stereotypical yet strong storyline, and a mind-blowing OST. 

Just like Pyarey Afzal, the last episode of ARY Digital Pakistani drama Mere Paas Tum Ho was also screened in cinemas across the country. 

The drama revolves around Danish (Humayun Saeed), his wife Mehwish (Ayeza Khan), and a rich businessman Shehwaar (Adnan Siddiqui). Initially, the drama revolves around Danish and Mehwish and the issues that a typical middle class married couple faces. 

Later, the story takes a drastic turn as Mehwish turns to Shehwaar to give her all that her husband couldn’t. 

This drama portrays the concepts of faithfulness, infidelity, and forgiveness brilliantly. 

3. Daam

A drama that continues to impress people despite the fact that it ended more than 13 years ago. The story revolves around two best friends, Maleeha Sami (Aminah Sheikh) and Zara Hidayatullah (Sanam Baloch). Zara belongs to an underprivileged family, whereas Maleeha is from a well-to-do family. 

Despite the class difference, Zara and Maleeha are best friends and this drama is all about the price they have to pay to maintain that friendship. 

It brings to light how status matters in this materialistic world and how Zara sells her feelings for a price offered by none other than her own best friend.

Daam highlights the role of money in destroying a relationship no matter how pure it is. This drama sheds light on a concept that is so familiar in our society, yet most of us are oblivious to its impact on our daily lives and relationships. 

4. Mera Saaein

"Mera Saaein" is an ARY Digital Pakistani drama that delves into themes of power, manipulation, and societal injustices. 

The story revolves around Malik Wajahat, a powerful and influential feudal lord known for his tyrannical ways and oppressive rule over his family and the people of his village. Driven by his obsession for control, Malik Wajahat marries multiple women and imposes his authority over them, treating them as mere objects rather than human beings.

The drama portrays the lives of these women and their struggles against Malik Wajahat’s cruelty. As they seek freedom from his grip, they must navigate a world filled with deceit, betrayal, and complex relationships. 

Mera Saaein is a gripping tale of power dynamics, exploring the harsh realities of a patriarchal society and the lengths people will go to reclaim their dignity and rights. 

The drama is known for its strong performances and compelling narrative that keeps the audience engaged, highlighting the moral dilemmas and societal issues prevalent in many parts of the world.

5. Chup Raho

"Chup Raho" is a powerful narrative that addresses the harrowing issue of s*xual abuse, particularly within the confines of a family—a topic that is often shrouded in silence and stigma. The drama sheds light on a subject that is frequently hidden, ignored, or covered up, especially when it involves close relatives.

In a society that often encourages victims to remain silent, "Chup Raho" serves as a call to action—urging people to speak out against such injustices rather than stay quiet. The drama challenges viewers to break the silence, as staying quiet only empowers the abuser.

The story centers on Rameen (played by Sajal Ali), a young woman who becomes the victim of s*xual abuse at the hands of her brother-in-law, Numair (played by Jibran Syed). Caught in a web of fear and societal pressure, Rameen is compelled to endure Numair's heinous actions in silence, trying to protect her sister Manal's (played by Arjumand Rahim) marriage and her own honor. 

The narrative confronts the difficult choice between maintaining family harmony and seeking justice, highlighting the importance of speaking up against abuse.
