Ten Eid specials you cannot miss

Sketch and entertainment shows, dramas and telefilms made exclusively for Eid time audiences has now become a tradition in our entertainment industry. The Eid-ul-Fitr this year, however, turned out to be a major disappointment as the lockdown forced most producers and creators to postpone their ongoing projects.

On June 1, artists and creators resumed work after the public holidays ended and have since been engaged in creating different forms of content with this Eid in mind. This has allowed the television channels to once again schedule all-day-long special programmes for the Eid holidays.

The TBS picks ten scheduled shows from a host of programmes planned for this Eid, that you cannot miss.
