The message that Maya Ali likes, is once more, a terrifying reminder that for Pakistani families, marriages are basically equivalent to exiling women from their parents’ homes. However, we made the mistake of unmuting the video and heard the female character discuss how tragic it is for her to leave her father and how happy she is that her mother isn’t alive to see her wedding day.Ī post shared by Maya Ali what magical powers does a yellow mayun joraa hold, we want to ask Deepak Perwani, because of which a woman suddenly becomes a shadow of her past self and leaves behind her old family and friends? Does signing a marriage pact suddenly mean that over night, no woman can come back to her old home, and is now just the wife of the man that she has married?Īnd most importantly, how is this supposedly tear jerking scene suppose to sit well in a country where women are taught that once they are married, they can never freely visit their families nor can they wear what they want or go where they want? They are not even allowed to escape domestic abuse. Judged on performance alone, the scene is definitely tearjerking.

In it, her character is having an emotional, heart-to-heart with her father (played by fashion designer Deepak Perwani). ‘Yunhi’ began trending on social media this week when the actor playing the female lead on the show, Maya Ali, shared a clip from the latest episode. But what currently popular trending dramas like ‘Yunhi’ prove, the best way to get ratings and to keep eyes glued to screens is to keep peddling the same sexist tropes over and over again and proclaim it as the standard content everyone should watch. It’s hilarious and yet quite terrifying how dedicated Pakistani dramas are to not provide what their audiences actually want: progressive storylines that recognise women as equals, rather than as props. Based on a Pakistani submarine that came under attack during the war, the telefilm Hangor gave an account of the brave sailors that managed to evade enemy warships, and the perseverance of their families.It’s Friday, Mercury has stopped going in retrograde and everything is going back to normal, except for Pakistani dramas, which will keep scraping the bottom of the barrel to search for sexist content.

The film Khel Khel Mein tried to engage the younger generation on the topic with a story set in the present, while the mini serial Khaab Toot Jatay Hain describes how language and cultural identity became incendiary touch points at Dhaka University. The recent passing of the 50th anniversary of the 1971 war has allowed for a spike in interest, with at least three other projects on the war being released in quick succession. The cast includes actors Wahaj, Maya, Talha Chahour, Nadia Jamil, Sajid Shah, Adnan Jaffar and Rana Majid, among others. Using a wide lens, it allows for a Bengali view, but then takes a deeper dive by linking the timeline of political failures to the human cost.
