Andhera Ujala (Urdu: اندھیرا اجالا, English: Darkness, Brightness) is a Pakistani crime investigation television series that aired on Pakistan Television (PTV) in 1984–85, written by Younis Javed and directed by Rashid Dar.
It also had an occasional touch of comic moments, mainly centred upon the character of constable Karam Dad. The leading cast of the series included Irfan Khoosat, Jamil Fakhri, Qavi Khan, Rahat Kazmi and Abid Butt (sub-inspector).[1] The main theme of this TV series was based on the 1983 drama Ragon mein Andhera, which aired on 29 December 1983,[2] that depicted a police team's efforts to fight crime and the spread of narcotics in their locality. The series has had numerous reruns and become a cult classic.[3]
