Pakistani drama industry has always been praised for its content not only in Pakistan but by international audiences, as well. Even their original soundtracks (OSTs) are loved for being equally powerful and catchy as their dramas.
A good soundtrack captures the drama’s soul and here are our top 5 picks for the best and most popular title tracks these days:
Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay
Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay starring an ensemble cast of Mahira Khan, Usman Mukhtar and Kubra Khan explores stories of love, hate and complicated relationships in a family. The OST of the drama, sung beautifully by Yashal Shahid and composed by Azaan Sami Khan adds soul to the scenes and has a special fanbase of its own. The lyrics by Sabir Zafar are beautiful and heart-touching.
Parizaad
HUM TV’s latest offering, Parizaad is another drama that made headlines for its powerful OST. Starring Ahmed Ali Akbar as the titular character, the drama perfectly encompasses the struggles faced by a man through different phases of life and the OST sung by Syed Asrar Shah and composed by Waqar Ali makes the scenes even more impactful.
Raqeeb Se
Raqeeb Se marked Hadiqa Kiani’s debut as an actor and was the perfect example of beautiful storytelling. While her acting was praised so was the OST sung by her and penned by her mother, Khawar Kiani, the writer of many of her biggest hits including Boohey Barian and Intehai Shauq.
Hadiqa felt her mother’s poetry went really well with the theme of the drama, and we agree.
Pehli Si Muhabbat
Apart from impressive performances by the cast that included Maya Ali, Sheheryar Munawar and Rabia Butt, the OST also plays a huge part in the success of ARY Digital’s ongoing drama, Pehli Si Muhabbat
Sung by Ali Zafar, the lyrics perfectly sum up the feel of the drama.
Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3
GEO’s Khuda aur Mohabbat 3 is unquestionably the most-watched and trending drama these days. While the narrative has the audience divided, the performances by Iqra Aziz and Feroze Khan are being loved by almost all. The OST by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is also beautiful.
