About Vitrina
Our Story
The leading production houses in Pakistan are 7th Sky Entertainment (Khaani, Humraaz), MD Productions (Momina Duraid, Ishq Tamasha), Moomal Productions, Six Sigma Plus Entertainment, Big Bang Entertainment, and iDream Entertainment. Pakistan’s drama industry cleared its international ceiling over a decade ago — when Humsafar was dubbed into Arabic as Rafeeq Al-Rooh and aired on MBC in October 2013, it became one of the channel’s most-watched serials, full stop, not just its most-watched Pakistani import. This directory lists verified production houses headquartered in Pakistan, sourced live from Vitrina’s global entertainment company database. For the regional picture, see our top production houses in Asia directory.
- 17th Sky Entertainment (founded 2004 by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi) produced hits including Khaani and Deewangi, and is currently airing Humraaz (2025, starring Feroze Khan and Ayeza Khan) on Geo TV.
- 2India blocked YouTube access to ARY Digital, HUM TV, Geo, and other Pakistani channels starting May 1, 2025, following the Pahalgam attack (Express Tribune, 2025) — accelerating the shift toward direct OTT and pan-Arab licensing.
- 3Urdu has roughly 230–246 million speakers worldwide including second-language speakers (Ethnologue, via Wikipedia) — a substantially larger addressable audience than the commonly-cited 170 million figure.
- 4Trade press reports (2026) top-tier Pakistani drama episode budgets reportedly in the Rs 25–30 lakh range (roughly $15,000–$40,000 depending on exchange rate) — no production house discloses exact figures on record, so treat this as directionally indicative, not verified (The News, TNS).
Pakistan’s production landscape is headlined by 7th Sky (Khaani, Humraaz), MD Productions (Momina Duraid, Ishq Tamasha), Moomal Productions, Six Sigma Plus Entertainment (Humayun Saeed / Shahzad Nasib), Big Bang Entertainment (Fahad Mustafa / Ali Kazmi), and iDream Entertainment. Vitrina indexes verified Pakistani production houses with direct contacts and production credit histories.
Why Pakistan’s Drama Export Story Keeps Growing
Pakistani drama earned its cross-border credibility on storytelling, not budget. Production centers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad feed HUM TV, ARY Digital, and Geo Entertainment, serving an Urdu-speaking audience of 230–246 million worldwide once second-language speakers are counted. The pan-Arab audience that opened with Humsafar‘s 2013 MBC run has continued through platforms like MBC and OSN, and India’s May 2025 YouTube block on Pakistani channels — while a real disruption — has pushed the industry further toward direct OTT licensing rather than ad-supported YouTube reach.
Key Stat
India’s Ministry of Home Affairs ordered YouTube access blocked for ARY Digital, HUM TV, Geo, and other Pakistani entertainment channels starting May 1, 2025, following the Pahalgam attack (Express Tribune, 2025). Pre-ban monthly view counts for these channels are not independently audited — treat any specific figure with scepticism.
Full Directory
The companies below are drawn live from Vitrina’s global entertainment company database, verified for active operations. 7th Sky (Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi, founded 2004) is the volume leader — Khaani and Deewangi anchor its hit record, and its 2025 Geo TV series Humraaz, starring Feroze Khan and Ayeza Khan, is currently airing. MD Productions, run by Momina Duraid, produced Ishq Tamasha on Hum TV — a distinct company from the similarly-named Moomal Productions (Moomal Shunaid, founded 2014). Six Sigma Plus Entertainment, Big Bang Entertainment, and iDream Entertainment (Abdullah Seja) round out the field.

How to Source Pakistani Content
Pakistani production houses are shifting from single-channel drama dependency toward multi-platform co-production models, and technical standards on VFX, color grading, and delivery specs have reached global platform requirements. In practice, the detail that catches first-time acquisition buyers off guard is assuming two similarly-named houses are the same company — MD Productions and Moomal Productions are separate, unaffiliated businesses despite the near-identical names, and we’ve seen a licensing conversation stall for weeks after outreach went to the wrong one. Confirm the exact legal entity and current slate before opening negotiations, not after.
Conclusion
Pakistan’s drama exports have earned real international reach on storytelling merit, from Humsafar’s 2013 MBC run to today’s direct OTT licensing conversations. 7th Sky Entertainment remains the volume leader, but MD Productions, Moomal Productions, each of the smaller named houses brings distinct slates worth evaluating on their own merits — get the company names and credits right, since several share similar branding. Compare against our Asia directory for regional benchmarking.
