If you wish to see the depiction of major social issues such as family planning, child labor, poor conditions of government hospitals, lack of education and awareness, the business of counterfeit medicines, the dismal state of government schools, the attitudes of police and bureaucracy, mismatched and underage marriages, human trafficking, and the use of children for pickpocketing.
When seasoned actors like Noman Ijaz, Atiqa Odho, Huma Nawab, Sajid Hassan, Marina Khan, Latif Kapadia, Malik Anokha, and Aslam Latar are cast, under the direction of Sahira Kazmi and Drama writer as the Asghar Nadeem Syed inevitably becomes a classic. Watching this drama never feels like seeing something unfamiliar because these social issues are common, especially in semi-urban and rural areas of Pakistan.
Sahira Kazmi did not compromise on any aspect of the drama, whether it was the background music or the selection of actors for their respective roles; everything was perfectly aligned.
The drama was so successful that Johns Hopkins University and Aftab Associates, with the collaboration of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, conducted a study to assess its impact on Pakistani society.
Those who have seen it will vividly remember it, and those who haven’t can watch it on YouTube.
