Roag

Released: 1997
Starring Huma Mir, Salim Sheikh, Ali Ijaz, Zara Akbar and others. Another failed drama of the season. It's about "pirs" and their "taweez" and how the village people have such a strong belief in the "pir" who's a total fraud and murderer of many and they don't have any faith in God. It shows the struggles of Salim Sheikh and Huma Mir trying to make the poeple understand that "shah sahab" is not what he protrays to be. If you are into this type of stuff then you will probably enjoy it. I thought it dragged on too much. Eventhough it was 13 episodes and on 4 cassettes, I watched bits and pieces of it and found it to be quite uninteresting. I give it a Sieskel and Ebert leftmenu thumbs down. You expect a better story line when there are such good actors in a play. Though I must give credit to Zara's performance. She does perform well as a possessed woman.
