STREAMING DREAMS

2026-07-26
To provide Pakistani dramas and films a global platform, the government of Pakistan has started to talk to streaming giants such as Netflix to see what possibilities can be explored. This was stated on X by the Federal Minister for Planning, Ahsan Iqbal. He wrote: `Pakistani dramas and films are second to none, commanding immense demand and heartfelt appreciation across the globe. Under our Uraan Pakistan export endeavours, the creative and cultural industry stands as a vital cornerstone for our national export strategy. While major OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime are critical gateways to the global audience, they have unfortunately been weaponised by regional politics for too long, denying Pakistani content its rightful due space.` Let`s see if action follows talk.
