Shehr-e-Zaat

When Pakistani drama industry put an end to its blockbuster dramas like Ankahi, Tanhaiyan, Afshan, Uncle Urfi, Dhoop Kinaray, Waris, etc. in late 90s the crowd turned over to Sitaray walay channel and it took a period for Pakistani directors and producers to gather nation's crowd to their personal novelty.  
HUM TV played a gleaming responsibility over this subject. From being aired in 2005 it portrayed various stories, some that were really excruciating, astounding, and startling or some squabble, but in some way the channel corroborated its reality in many ways. After the completion of a tingling love story Mata-e-Jaan, the channel came up with an exceptional story of Umera Ahmed; Shehr-e-Zaat.
Wholly two episodes went on air until now and so I am not divulging the further story. I rarely have seen any serial that encapsulate succinctly and aesthetically in its first scene that take your soul from a level to another.

            Qabrustan fascinate honay ki jaga nahi hoti.

            Achaww..Phir kis liye hoti hai?

            Ibrat hasil karne k liye.

Nonetheless until now there have been plentiful scenes depicted that soothe your subsistence if you essentially watch it with whole heart and mind constantly. As I read its novel I get so enthused with the spotting in the serial. As far it revealed, I am fairly persuaded and contented with the cinematography that it will influence many of its observer’s spirit the same that left book’s readers.

This is a tale of an upper class girl who used to be of an egotistical, proud, and conceited nature and a self-absorbed personality carrier who transforms by an epoch of time and come to know the reality of this cosmos.

This article in actual is not a review of this serial, but is to resonate the definite meaning of our existence. Though in it, the girl (Falak) move ahead to Ishq-e-Haqeeqi after getting botched in Ishq-e-Majazi, but if being a valiant and smart mortal we crave to the real verity of the whole situation of knowing what God is. This play is reminiscent of an undeniable truth that there is no deity except God. He alone is the sustainer of all that exists. Nothing can happen without His willing it. He alone has power over everything. He alone has the knowledge of the past, the present, and the future. His domain extends over the heavens and the earth. As the director Sarmad Sultan Khoosat said this in an interview, “This story is something uncommon and you really have to watch this with both your heart and mind working constantly to absorb the reality.” Which I don’t feel is nevertheless wrong. Such topics are now would like to be emphasized as the society and time’s need. There is some really knowing and perceptive dialogues in between now added in the serial that do leave a mark over your heart.

            “Pehlay pehlay apnay haath say banaye hue butt say piyaar hojata hai phir apnay aap say ishq hojata hai phir apnay aap ko aadmi kaamil samajhnay lagta hai.”

As a personal viewer and a reader of this story I must say it will surely affect people’s heart and if a spectator like me wants to absorb it in his existence there is whole guidance in it. As for a betterment I advice you to watch this serial as the director narrated or just read the novel. You will really feel some inner changes.
