Top 7 reasons why this Pakistani serial is a big hit in India

[Screambowl]

Yes but Pakistani serials uses heavily Persian loaded Urdu compared to use in the vernacular and I also don't like the accent because nowhere sounds close to Karachi accent but seems like some angrez dude trying to speak Urdu.

Because their Quami Tarana is mostly in Farsi. They use a lot of Farsi.

Pakistanis loaded Urdu with more Persian after independence. the Urdu spoken in Pakistan in 1950-60s is very simple with familiar Indian type accent. Now, it has become very different.

yes and the problem is most of the people in Pakistan don't understand. Just like we don't speak perfect hindi.

Yes, most of the Pakistanis think Hindus in North India go around around heavily Sanskrit loaded Hindi on street while Muslims of North India go speaking the heavily Persian loaded Urdu, when no such thing exist in real life.

Yes, Pakistanis constantly complain how Indian Muslims speak Urdu in the Hinduised regional vernacular and don't uses loads of Persian-Arabic unlike the heavily loaded kitabi Urdu Pakistani learn by watching PTV . I was also told by Pakistanis that Hindus don't speak proper Hindi because there is not loads of Sanskrit words in our vernacular.

lol, some one please tell them that Sanskrit is different and Hindi is different , of course sanskrit is the mother language but we don't speak sanskrit. Neither we speak hindi not because we don't understand sanskrit, its just mixture.

They are living in their own world lol. They believe in Punjabi dialects and influence of Punjabi in Urdu, that style of Urdu is the best lol

Pakistanis in general have no knowledge about the difference between the language used as vernacular and the language used in literature. There is no different between Hindi and Urdu in vernacular and Bollywood has played a great role in reuniting the artificial division of both of the languages.

You better see this.

soo a good thing is that now indians are getting freedom now they can watch wht they want now this low quality indians soaps of saas bahu are not imposing on them and indians convert in in the war of language. Some indians are saying that Pakistani serials are not popular in india Pakistani dramas are most watched & commented by indians on youtube. I just saw the fan page of ths Zindagi chhannels which just started and now have more thn 200K indians day & night praising Pakistani dramas and asking indian producer to learn from Pakistan how to make dramas. Even saw soo many indian girls dying to get a life partner like Pakistani actors lolz....

I never knew that Arabi or Persian had something to do with religion lol.

Zindagi Gulzar Hai: Top 7 reasons why this Pakistani serial is a big hit!

Tags: Fawad Afzal Khan, Sanam Saeed, Zaroon Junaid, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Zindagi-Jodey Dilon Ko

Zindagi Gulzar Hai, a Pakistani based romantic-drama that captured Indian audiences’ hearts on Zee TV channelZindagi will wrap up on July 18. The final 26th episode will be aired on Friday and we will see the lovely couple of Zaroon Junaid and Kashaf Murtaza coming together for the last time! So what was so unique about this particular show that made us sit glued to our TV sets? Was it the chocolate boy Fawad Afzal Khan’s charismatic personality as Zaroon Junaid or was it the different plot? We take a look at seven reasons that made Zindagi Gulzar Hai a big hit:

Fawad Afzal Khan as Zaroon Junaid

However you may disagree, but a majority of us started watching Zindagi Gulzar Hai after taking that one glance at the main lead in glares! Fawad Afzal Khan as Zaroon Junaid came as the man of your dreams – suave, great looking and with an amazing voice! Pakistani actor Fawad Afzal Khan became a massive hit among girls since the first look hit the telly world. His charisma completely wooed the audience and they looked forward to the show. Fawad is also making his Bollywood debut opposite actress Sonam Kapoor in 1980 remakeKhoobsurat.

Sanam Saeed as Kashaf Murtaza

The fashionista of Pakistan, Sanam Saeed’s portrayal of simpleton Kashaf Murtaza is hands down the best acting you have seen in a while. Playing the role of a girl who is constantly in war with her fate, Sanam is brilliant. You actually feel her situation and know she is not doing what we call ‘over-the-top-acting’.

Fixed number of episodes

It’s been a while in Indian telly land that we had fixed number of episodes for a story. Now we see many serials celebrating the millionth episode’s success! The good thing about Zindagi Gulzar Hai has been the knowledge in the viewers’ mind about the number of episodes. So they looked forward to it even more.

Close to reality

Full points to the makers for keeping the story depiction as close as possible to the real world. With due respect to the Indian serials, Zindagi Gulzar Hai did not show a lower middle-class family in a seven-room cottage or an upper-class guy cracking Rs 1,000 crore deals. There were no far-fetched stories and everything was relatable. This is no typical saas-bahu drama. And thank god for the first time we had no bitchy monster-in-laws in their gawdy make-ups. They did show saas and their ‘concerns’ but to a limit and something you believed.

Opposites attract, but this was not your conventional love story

Zaroon Junaid is shown as a big time flirt during his college days while Kashaf is your serious and mature girl. Two people with a widely different nature falling in love is something that has been done to death, with the lead actress falling umpteenth number of times on the hero and several rain dance sequences. Honestly this does not happen in real life! In Zindagi Gulzar Hai, you love the subtle way of expressing love and gradual falling in love, which is what happens in real life!

Sub-plots are interesting and nicely woven

To have a successful show you don’t need to show the lead pair in every frame. This is exactly what Zindagi Gulzar Hai does. They have interesting sub-plots involving Kashaf’s father and step-mother’s family, Zaroon’s sister Sara’s life. You totally want to know what happens in their life as well.

Brilliant supporting cast

Apart from Zaroon and Kashaf, we are sure you must have formed a love-hate relationship with Ayesha Omar as Zaroon’s sister Sara. You totally hate Mehreen Raheel as Zaroon’s manipulative ex-fiance Asmara. And you have definitely been dicey about Zaroon’s best friend Osama played by good looking Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui. One word for the supporting cast – brilliant!

We are sure there are more reasons for you to catch up with Zindagi Gulzar Hai. But do not you worry asZindagi is set to be replaced by another show Maat. Tune in to that every day at 8 pm on Zindagi channel.

Its a really short term effect... people will hog on it till the time it looks different and comes from a different shop... after some time even these so called different tasting dishes will become common and everyday affair ... so enjoy them till the time Indian pallet adapts to thsi taste.... because soon this will also become boring and repetitive...and then people will look for something new and something different.

 

[Baby Leone]

am just thinking that its just few serials that are now on air "officially" in india and indians are getting mad and saw indians crying that they are getting end too soon and they will miss them soo much. just thinking that in Pakistan we make 1000s of serials of this quality every year and hear that indians channels have initialy baught 200 Pakistani serials wht indians will do if they watch them all or if their govt allow Pakistani channels in india.

I never knew that Arabi or Persian had something to do with religion lol.

Even with pre-Islamic origin, Arabic is a liturgical language of Muslims and the language of Muslim's scripture but Persian finds its origin in the language used in Zoroastrian scripture Avesta and that language was the sister language of Sanskrit with a common origin from Proto-Indo-Iranian language. I have listened to many verses from Avesta, they sound very identical to Vedic mantras.

Even Arabic is far older than islamic era. Because Islam started in Arab it has to be arabic common sense people forget. Avesta and Rig veda have similar philosophy. And Persian is more rich like Sanskrit.
These two languages are mother of all dialects and languages in our subcontinent and in europe. As they are part of Indo European. But who will explain this to some brainwashed people.

pronounced like mantras only , cool.
