Drilis Ertugul, the immensely popular turkish show, is all set to air on Pakistani televisions during Ramzan.
The show revolves around the Ottoman Empire and is based on the history of the Muslim Oghuz Turks. It takes place in the 13th century and centers around the life of Ertuğrul, the father of Osman I, who was the founder of the Ottoman Empire.
Often described as a ‘Turkish Game of Thrones’, Dirilis has a huge international fan following in 60 plus countries, aided by the fact that is also available on popular streaming website, ‘Netflix’. The show has gained sweeping popularity in the Middle East, South Africa and surprisingly in South America.
Mehmet Bozdag, the writer, sucessfully combines a deeper message of traditional Islamic beliefs with the classic story of a hero fighting against all odds, which is what has made the show so sucessful.
Tune in to PTV Home at 9:10 pm every night during Ramzan to indulge in this historical epic.
