Dhoop Kinare meaning "at the edge of the sunshine" in Urdu was a 1987 Pakistani television serial presented by Pakistan Television Corporation. The show centers on a team of doctors in a hospital in Karachi and revolves around their routines at the hospital and their private lives at home. The show starred Rahat Kazmi and Marina Khan in lead roles, was directed by Sahira Kazmi and written by Haseena Moin.
In the early days of PTV, drama serials were usually applauded for being richly diverse in their plots and direction. They were appreciated in Pakistan and their quality content was cherished over the border in India as well. A long list of such dramas may usually include Dhoop Kinare as one of those dramas at the top. The serial enjoyed seemingly undeniable success for two decades after it first finished airing. This serial is said to have promoted the careers of Rahat Kazmi and Marina Khan as one of the most-sought-after stars in Pakistani television industry.
On 3 October 2011, an Indian soap opera in Hindi was launched by Sony Entertainment Television India. It was titled as Kuch Toh Log Kahenge and is loosely based on Dhoop Kinare. This drama will soon air in India on Zindagi under the segment Zindagi Classics.
Dr Ahmer Ansari (Rahat Kazmi) is bereaving the death of his foster father (played by Arshad Mehmood) whom he calls Baba (an affectionate word for father in Urdu). He vaguely remembers that the professor adopted him but has no knowledge that his father had a daughter who died young and that she also gave birth to a girl who lives somewhere in the same city.
