The 1st Indus Drama Awards ceremony, presented by Indus TV Network, sponsored by Dulux, took place on September 23, 2005 at PAF Museum, Karachi. The ceremony was recorded, and was scheduled to be televised in Pakistan and UAE on October 1, 2005 by Indus TV. It was produced by chairman Ghazanfar Ali.
The awards were hosted by actor Shahood Alvi and co-hosted by Sehar Imran.
Winners, losers, lights, sound, stage, and whole lot more. There were winners, who brought their mothers with them to receive their trophies, and then there were the losers, and there were many of them. The awards were held to honour the industry and its leading people – those who are still alive and those who are no more.
The guests were TV alas, hierarchy of the film world, and technocrats who were called to the stage to hand at the trophies. The drama awards were a follow-up of the IM Music awards, art of the INDUS NETWORK, which were held at the D.H.A Golf Club. The guest list consisted of glitterati that had especially flown in from Lahore. The stage was set majestically against a giant plasma screen and for the first time a live orchestra had been arranged the awards ended up as a race between a select group of drama for which were two categories: The series and the serials. Series consist of the same four plays for each nomination and the same went for the serials, which consist of three players for every nomination.
The four series fighting for the top honours were 'Maa Aur Mamta', 'Ambulance', 'Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat' and 'Karachi law'. Kamran Qureshi’s drama series Maa Aur Mamta was a clear winner with seven awards and it was a touching moment when he brought his mother Shagufta Yousuf to receive it on his behalf. The guests turned up to the nines Natasha D’souza gave the audience a bit of a shock when she descended from the stage in backless Black blouse after she received her trophy for the best supporting actress in 'Ambulance". Shafi Mohammad won the best supporting actor for his role in 'Maa aur Mamta'. The best actress in drama series was Shehla Qureshi for her role in "Mehak" while Humayun Saeed won the equivalent for Mujrim.
