If we look at the list of the dramas of first 25 years after the country got independence then any older viewers can imagine that only from television studio so many tremendous dramas can be made instead of going to Switzerland or America.

The drama titled “Parle Na Rumki” written by Afzal Hossain is still remembered by the audiences. As for drama serials any popular series can be jealous of Humayun Ahmed's “Ayomoy”, “Bohibrihi”, “Eishob Din Raatri” or “Kothao Keu Nei”. But the drama “Shokal Shondha” has played a big role in making those drama serials so popular.

Nowadays in several channels are using the words such as mega serials and squeals. But the initiation of these type of dramas has been initiated in Dhaka Television. The serial "Ekjon Babor Ali'r Kotha" was based on a character named Babar ali. After that both the sequeals "Abar Babar Ali" and "Babor Ali" was produced in the Dhaka Television.
