The Indian drama industry seems to be running out of ideas as a Telegu channel is set to remake the popular Pakistani drama serial Meray Pass Tum Ho with the tentative title, Pelli Pusthakam.
In recent years, the Indian drama industry has been accused of copying popular Pakistani dramas, and the latest instance of this is the remake of Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s iconic show.
This isn’t the first time that an Indian drama has been accused of copying a Pakistani show. In 2021, the Indian drama Kaamnaa was released, which featured a similar storyline and characters that drew criticism from fans of the Pakistani original series.
The South Indian channel, Etv Telegu, has announced plans to remake Meray Pass Tum Ho, which has been met with mixed reactions, as people have criticized the Indian drama industry for lacking originality and creativity.
The trend of remaking popular Pakistani dramas has also sparked a conversation about the quality of content produced in the Indian drama industry. While there are many original shows that have gained a following in India and other parts of the world, there have been instances where Indian dramas have been accused of copying the storyline and characters of Pakistani shows.
The debate about the originality and quality of content in the Indian drama industry is ongoing, but one thing is clear: the popularity of Pakistani dramas continues to grow, and they remain a source of inspiration for many writers and filmmakers in the region.
The original drama serial that took the nation by storm in 2019 and 2020 starred Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan, and Adnan Siddiqui. It is a twisted tale of love, infidelity, and patriarchy, packed with misogynistic punchlines.
Whether Pelli Pusthakam will be able to capture the magic of Meray Pass Tum Ho remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the love for the original show is here to stay.
