Once again a play based on the feudal system. I wonder why the producers
never get tired of it. The viewers do. The story revolves around the Khan family who is a
Mafia in itself. The elder brother, Waseem Khan (Khayyam Sarhadi) has been
banished from the family because he had left his first wife Kausar
to marry an outsider Saba (Kanwal) because
he wanted a baby, an heir to his empire. Saba does have a baby but it's a
girl and she cannot have another child so Waseem Khan starts moving away
from her and into the web of Jahanara begum (Riffat Tajalli) who uses her
daughter Tehmina (Irum Hasan) as a bait to get a hold of all his property (hmm sounds familiar already...you betchya!).
Waseem's younger brother Qasim (Shabbir Jan) is a big fraud himself who
wants to possess all the family's wealth. He is engaged to his cousin Ramya
and has her brother kidnapped to posses all his lands.
Then we have a couple of more characters namely a lovestruck doctor Jahenzeb
who's in love with Tehmina and does not have the money to win her over. There are a bunch of other characters added on for no reason whatsoever. Simply there are too many characters which leaves one really
confused and I fail to understand what all the hype was about. People who
love these kind of feudal plays can give it a look. Maybe they'll enjoy it. It was a re-hash of alot of other feudal plays shown from year to year. -by Gina
