The number of PTV dramas and serials produced by ISPR in collaboration with private Productions proved block busters at small screen including "Nishaan e Hyder" series plays, "Sunahray Din" and "Alfa Bravo Charlie", not only attracting the large viewer ship but also facilitating the stars with great deal of popularity. At present as the standards of PTV dramas and serials are losing viewer ship the effects of the decline are also visible on the ISPR productions as well, where the image of Pakistani Armed forces is shown either very week or injected with the glimpse of some super natural powers.

In the current ISPR production "Sapahi Maqbool Hussain" that was expected to be very successful, a number of flaws have affected its popularity badly. In the play Pakistani forces were portrayed more a clone instead of a regular army with most of the characters posing their roles as busy in attempt to create humour or going for funny gestures. While on the other hand, the enemy forces were reflected lacking the basic training skills as in one of the scene the enemy guards deployed to safeguard one bridge were shown laying with the support of said bridge and Pakistani troops easily fixing explosives there. The critiques have pointed out that said kind of things just gave an impression that the production was made by inexperienced persons which were unaware of the warlike situations.
