Abstract

Abstract: Audience obsession with romance cannot be neglected in entertainment media and most of this category of content is watched by women, irrespective of their age, race, and geography. This study evaluates how the media romanticizes crime by men, these men are the majority of the time perfect definition of Masculine men and fix the standards of society for men and How the Pakistani drama industry has adopted the trend of glorifying the male abusive acts and justice for this behavior by calling it act of possessiveness or affection.To examine the intensity of the issue we have conducted a quantitative content analysis of the  Pakistani drama industry.
