Pakistan’s 10 most-watched dramas on YouTube

Pakistani television dramas continue to attract a massive audience on YouTube, with several recent productions recording millions of views after their episodes are uploaded online.

The popularity of Pakistani dramas is no longer limited to domestic viewers. Audiences in countries including India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Turkey and parts of the Middle East regularly follow Pakistani serials.

The availability of English subtitles has also made these productions more accessible to international viewers. Social media platforms have further increased their reach, with overseas fans frequently sharing clips, reviews and reaction videos.

At present, a number of Pakistani dramas are performing strongly on YouTube. Their view counts offer an indication of the level of interest generated by their stories, cast members and weekly episodes.

Zanjeerain

Zanjeerain is currently among the strongest performers. Its finale crossed the 10-million-view mark, while episodes from the drama have reportedly been attracting around 16 million views on a weekly basis.

Dar-e-Nijat

Dar-e-Nijat has also established a significant online following. Its episodes are reportedly receiving between 12 million and 13 million views, highlighting strong engagement from viewers.

Aap Ki Izzat

Aap Ki Izzat remains one of the most-watched Pakistani dramas on YouTube. The serial has consistently crossed around 10 million views overall. However, its view count has reportedly remained relatively steady rather than showing major growth.

Tapish

Tapish is another drama performing well on the video-sharing platform. The serial is averaging close to 10 million views, while some episodes have reached around 9 million views within only three days of being uploaded.

Nashtar

Nashtar made an impressive start on YouTube. Its first two episodes reportedly attracted approximately 15 million and 12 million views respectively. More recent episodes have continued to perform strongly, with one episode reaching around 8.5 million views.

Bas Tera Saath Hu

Bas Tera Saath Hu has maintained a solid online audience, with its episodes regularly crossing the eight-million-view mark. The drama is also reported to be performing well in television ratings.

Khafa

Geo TV’s Khafa, featuring Hira Mani and Mikaal Zulfiqar, has also secured a place among the dramas attracting millions of YouTube viewers. Its episodes are currently receiving around 2.7 million views.

Leader

Leader has accumulated approximately 2.5 million views per episode. However, its online performance has reportedly declined considerably compared with its earlier viewership.

Raqaas

Danyal Zafar’s Raqaas received a promising response at the beginning. Its first episode reportedly secured around 3.7 million views, but the second episode saw a significant drop, attracting approximately 1.7 million views.

Bombay Tailors

Hum TV’s Bombay Tailors has maintained a comparatively stable audience on YouTube. Its episodes are consistently reaching around one million views.

The figures demonstrate how YouTube has become an important platform for Pakistani dramas. While television ratings remain a key measure of success, digital viewership increasingly reflects how widely a drama is being followed beyond Pakistan.
