Since ARY Film Awards has been just started, this category has not a brief history. The name of the category officially termed by the channel is:

## Winners and nominees

In the list below, winners are listed first in the colored row, followed by the other nominees.

The number of the ceremony (1st, 2nd, etc.) appears in parentheses after the awards year, linked to the article on that ceremony/ Each individual entry shows the title followed by the production company, and the producer. Till from 2013, the Best Drama Serial award has given to producer rather than to Production company.[citation needed]

This category is among two Best Film Awards that is given to Best Film's. Best Film Jury winner is eligible to be nominated among Best Film and may won the Both awards.[citation needed]
