Afzal (Shahzad Ali Khan) is a dacoit and wanted by the police. He has a wife
Nasreen (Mona Junejo) and a son Sikander (Shahzaib). One day as the police
raids his house he and his wife manage to run away but the boy who was in
the other room is left behind and is taken in by the police. As he refuses
to speak a single word they think he cannot speak and give him to an
orphanage.
Sitara (Nida Mumtaz) and Shahzad (Shahood Alvi) are a childless
couple and finally decide to adopt one. They go to the orphanage and happen
to like Sikander hence they decide to adopt him. As the police inspector
turns out to be Sitara's class fellow the child is given to them and within
a few days the couple become greatly attached to the boy.
Meanwhile Afzal is
on the search for his child and finally traces him to Sitara's house and one day
takes Nasreen to school to pick up Sikander, but at that moment Sitara comes and the child goes to her. The child is now in a dilemma. On one side are his
real parents and a very bleak future and on the
other side is a bright future. On the other hand Nasreen is going crazy at the loss
of her child and Sitara is going crazy at the thought that the child might
be taken away from her and both are driving their husbands crazy. What
happens next remains to be seen as the play is being telecasted during the
world cup breaks every day on PTV. The theme song is really nice and also
Shahzaib does a good job. -by Gina
