Written By: Khalil ur Rehman Qamar
The story revolves around a character Boota (Faisal Qureshi) who
belongs to
Toba Tek Singh and is the only son of a landlord. He is a mischevious fellow who has failed to do well in school. Boota changes
over
night when he falls in love with Mahru (Farah Shah) whose car breaks
down
near his village when she and her dadi (Khursheed Shahid) are going
to
Lahore. Boota soon runs away from home and goes to Lahore after Mahru.
Mahru runs an
advertising agency and her assistant Faani (Kashif Mehmood) takes Boota
to
the boarding house of Zohra Khatoon (Deeba) where he lives. Meero
(Babar
Ali) is a fellow resident there who had belongs to a broken home and
hence
has a shattered personality. He makes false promises to girls
and
then blackmails them after he gets their pictures and letters.
Mahru
loves
him and tries to reason with him. Meero falls
in
love with Mahru (why the similar names?) too but is afraid to admit it because he does not want to be in a position where someone else can exploit him.
The story and dialogues are interesting
and
keeps the viewer interested. This play is becoming quite popular as the
story progresses. Babar Ali after a long time is doing a great job. It
seems
as if he is much better suited for the small screen. -by Gina
