Pakistani television is enjoying a busy season, with several high-profile dramas airing at the same time and pulling viewers into emotional, intense and often very relatable storylines.
Whether you prefer romance, social commentary or more traditional family narratives, November 2025 has something genuinely worth your time. Here are the top five Pakistani dramas that are either ongoing or have recently wrapped but are still dominating conversations.
Main Manto Nahi Hoon (Manto)
One of the biggest draws this season is Main Manto Nahi Hoon, which brings together heavyweights Humayun Saeed and Sajal Aly. Written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, the drama is inspired by themes associated with Saadat Hasan Manto but does not retell his life. Instead, it explores the life of a man fighting societal hypocrisy while struggling with his own contradictions.
The plot follows a writer caught between love, duty and his urge to challenge norms. The storytelling is layered, poetic and bold — which is exactly why the drama has sparked so many discussions online.
Jama Taqseem
A recent addition to the HUM TV lineup, Jama Taqseem stars Mawra Hocane and Talha Chahour in a story that revolves around family expectations and emotional loyalties.
The plot centres on a woman who finds herself torn between personal happiness and the pressures of a deeply traditional household. Its appeal lies in its grounded tone — the drama doesn’t sensationalise conflict but shows how quiet sacrifices shape entire relationships.
Pamaal
A Green TV favourite, Pamaal features powerhouse performers Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar. The script by Zanjabeel Asim Shah tackles themes of emotional manipulation within a marriage.
The storyline follows a woman trying to reclaim her sense of self after years of being dismissed and controlled by those closest to her. It’s raw, empathetic and reflective of real experiences faced by many women, which is why it has resonated so strongly.
Meri Zindagi Hai Tu
Premiering in early November 2025, Meri Zindagi Hai Tu quickly picked up momentum thanks to its lead pair, Bilal Abbas Khan and Hania Aamir.
The drama tells the story of two people whose relationship is tested by family politics, misunderstandings and the emotional baggage they carry from their pasts. It’s a classic romantic drama but elevated by thoughtful writing and heartfelt performances.
Dayan
For viewers who like suspense, Dayan remains one of the most watched dramas of the season.
This supernatural thriller blends horror with a family plotline, following a household that becomes entangled with an unseen entity. While the genre is niche, the drama’s strong cast and eerie atmosphere have kept audiences hooked.
