Despite its success, the Pakistani entertainment industry faces criticism for its lack of quality writing. Critics argue that many writers rely on natural talent alone, resulting in repetitive storylines and characters. To improve, there is a call for better training to help writers craft more engaging stories.

In an interview, actors Sanam Saeed and Ali Kazmi discussed the industry’s neglect of drama films and the lack of effort to enhance their quality. The host asked, “Why isn’t the film industry focusing on the things that we’re trying to change, and why aren’t we seeing any efforts to improve those aspects?”

Ali Kazmi responded, “That’s the problem, it’s become a dying art. There are very few writers now who are amazing. The rest, they have outsourced.” Sanam Saeed added, “Come on, even the films you are watching, one out of a hundred hits the chord. Most of what we see on OTT platforms is unwatchable, a waste of time. And then you find that one gem among the millions.”

Sanam emphasized the need for training, saying, “It’s a universal issue, but in our country, the problem is the lack of training.” Ali Kazmi agreed, adding, “Creative writing is a course in universities. We need writers who have done courses and can show us their skills.”

Sanam and Ali are starring in ‘Umro Ayyar,’ now screening in cinemas. Ali, the son of renowned actors Rahat Kazmi and Sahira Kazmi, continues to build on his family’s legacy.
