Drama serial Aulaad is about to reach the climax. In today’s episode, Moni will perhaps pass away, making the entire family go through another turmoil. Unfortunately, even after so many episodes, it fails to live up to our expectations. The drama has been produced by Big Bang and directed by acclaimed director, Aabis Raza. Despite strong names, it fails to attract audiences.

There is nothing new for the viewers and it feels that this particular storyline has been done to death. Whether it was Bala or Be Adab, the same story has been presented again and again.
Aulaad follows the standard formula
Pakistani directors have two standard formulas for dramas, one being the romantic one and the other being the emotional torture. Aulaad plays the emotional torture card too many times. Elderly parents are disrespected, humiliated, and thrown out of their own house. They continue to suffer alone unless one day all levels of torture are crossed and then the children have to suffer for their injustices.
ARY’s drama has exactly reached that point where we can now clearly predict the entire plot. Though Marina Khan and Mohammad Ahmed try to make your heartache through their powerful acting we have been so accustomed to the endless crying that it isn’t making an impact anymore.
Why are Pakistani audiences punished?
Although this is a brutal reality of our society yet Pakistani drama directors need to learn to show things in moderation. Why do we always have to display extreme injustices and torture? Why can’t we show people standing up for themselves and making rational decisions?
Many people are also stating that this drama is a poor rip-off of Baghban but since that was just a 2 hours long film thus audience was perhaps more invested in it. However, when you get to see the same sad faces twice a week for an hour each, then it gets frustrating.
It’s high time that makers realize their responsibility. They should start churning out content that adds value to the lives of viewers instead of making them depressed and hopeless.
