Mera Saeein, a serial loosely inspired by Tehmina Durrani’s My Feudal Lord, focused on the evil shenanigans of feudal-politician Malik Wajahat who takes one wife after another in a bid to acquire a male heir. The sequels managed to attract viewers but were not all of them were as big as their predecessors and the post-mortems are still being conducted as to what was right and what went wrong. Various television channels aired Annie Ki Aayegi Baraat (Geo), Mera Saeein 2 (ARY Digital) and Tanhaiyan Naye Silsilay (PTV Home and ARY Digital) - sequels to their hugely successful originals respectively, Azar Ki Ayegi Baraat, Mera Saeein and Tanhaiyan. But whereas in Hollywood, it is films that spawn forth their second parts, in Pakistan it is the hyper active television industry that decided to go forth and reproduce.
