Everyone loves Turkish drama
A new book in Pakistan looks at the phenomenon that is gaining worldwide popularity.
Pakistan television leans heavily these days on entertainment to distract Pakistanis from the burdens of ideology and, among other foreign borrowings, shows a lot of dubbed Turkish drama. Needless to say, the Turkish contribution to Pakistani entertainment is quite popular. And it is not surprising: Turkey sold 1,35,000 drama hours to 75 countries in 2015, generating approximately US $300 million, which was surpassed by the $350 million earnings in 2017.
