I always wanted to become a Doctor.
Pata nahi, kabhi dimaag kharab hua and I changed my decision.
Anyway, that's another issue.
Khair, jab mai choti thi, I always saw myself as Dr. Zoya Khan.
Any bells ringing yet?
I am talking about one of the most popular and evergreen shows to be telecast in the Indian Sub-Continent -
Dhoop Kinare
Don't know how many of you have heard about it or watched it. However, I absolutelllyyy loved it !
Set in the late 1980s/early1990s, Dhoop Kinare revolves around a Medical Intern (Marina Khan) and a senior Doctor (Rahat Kazmi).
The serial showcased a lovely relationship between the two and is one of the best romantic stories ever to have been brought on screen.
When I started watching it, I was too young to understand a lot of the heavy duty dialogues. Yet, the simplicity and the beauty with which all characters were portrayed, just grew on one...
During the past few years I have always kept going back to this serial and seen it in bits and pieces.
A lot of Pakistani shows from the 1990s have that evergreen quality and remain lovable till date.
To top it all, I idolised Marina Khan. I thought then, and still think that she is one of the most talented and beautiful actresses ever !
Her portrayal of Dr. Zoya is full of charm, humour, strength and a subtle rebellion which I always loved.
I think, on the Indian side, if this were to ever be re-made, then shayad sirf Kajol yeh role kar paaye...
Do watch this one, if you haven't had a chance to do so till now...

"Dhook Kinare" - is awesome. Good to know that younger gen too loves it. Its ghazal is my national anthem...LOL

I am not sure if we can buy the CDs/DVDs in India.
You can however get the whole series online. Try searching and downloading using torrents. Also, a lot of websites air such classics. One being muft.tv Try those.

Followers of Pakistani plays can still pick their favourite shows at Palco Video in Delhi’s Palika Bazaar. Baljit Singh Kohli, the store owner, has stocked copies of classic soaps such as Tanhaiyaan, Ankahi, Dhoop Kinare and Bakra Kishto Pe

@Nazeer - Thanks for sharing the link. It would be of immense help to all fans here.
hello to all the dhoop kinare fans.
you rightly said, this is one of the most popular and best tv programs ever telecasted on the INDIAN SUBCONTINENT. This one really crosses all borders and no, this is not an indian talking. it touched all of us who have seen it in Bangladesh too (but i guess they are not many).
my favourite drama ever. i remember in the late 80's Baba bringing a VHS tape of it from nowhere and our whole family fell in love with it ever since. recently i have got hold of a vcd of it and thoroughly reviving the magical spell. you just can't fathom its charm. it gives you at the same time the fragrance of an unspoken love and the aura of nostalgia. and the heart wrenching music by arshad mehmood. its truly a masterpiece by Sahira kazmi.
@ahmed - Thanks for stopping by. Yes, Dhoop Kinare was a fascination for the entire subcontinent.
Not just the romance bit, but the idealism of youth, the sacrifice of medical fraternity, the charm of finding your individualism...
I love all characters and the show had some brilliant dialogues....specially between the father-daughter...
I have found the series too and am reliving some golden moments these days...
Hi I finally found a guy in Delhoi who can door deliver the play to any address .. He charges 100/- for the speed post .. and 125 /- per DVD..
The guy is Mr. Jasvinder Singh Kohli Palco Vedios.. Only hitch is that you need to transfer the money before he can courier the pack to your address...

@Anon - Thank you! Wish you had left a name...
a new story in itself. really very mature & heart touching. even after 20 years the story seems like an evergreen melodrama.
@smruti - Bang on! one of the best tele series ever.
saw K recently and am also watching Kuch to log... on sony. Absolutely no comparison. The language, the dialogues, the acting almost everything is so so sooooo better.
If anyone can think of similar dramas, then plz do let me know
I watched "Dhoop Kinaray" TV series at the time of 90's. Me and my family love to watch that time. Few days back I purchased the original VCD from website www.Moviemart.in . This took me back to the old-memories of 90's. Dhoop kinaray is one of perfect drama series I have ever seen. I got to know from one of my friend abut the remake of Dhoop Kinaray, named" Kuch toh log kahenge". This is also a awesome TV serial. All the characters in Dhoop Kinarey are famous like Zoya Khan. I am Loving It.
