Fitoor Episode 4 Police scene

PAKISTANI DRAMAS AND PORTRAYAL OF POLICE

Please Meri Izzat Mat Uchalein

Pakistani Dramas have always portrayed police as the end all be all of the justice systems.

In doing so these dramas have been spreading the belief that police have near unchecked authority to arrest people, interrogate them and then go through their phones or even search their homes on a whim.

Such a scene was seen in Fitoor Episode 4 where Police arrive at the doorstep of Mr. Yawar Ahmed and demands that he and his sister Dilnasheen come with them for interrogation because of their suspected involvement with the disappearance of Sadiq Hamza. So MR. Yawar, instead of asking if the police had a warrant, or instead of calling their lawyer dragged himself and his sister alongside her phone to the police station.

There the police interrogate in a very disrespectful manner and insult the integrity of his sister. Instead of shutting the police officer up and demanding a lawyer, he cries and begs for mercy as his sister’s honor is questioned and insulted.

Setting aside how Yawar insults and berates his sister for lack of his education regarding how to deal with the police, this display in drama is also a disgusting disservice to the society and spreads fear of police that allows the bad apples among them to harass the common folks.

Courts, not the police, can declare someone guilty. Everyone has a right to freedom and legal counsel and you can never be forced to talk to the police, let alone sit there and get insulted with your sister. Yawar also unlocks his sister's private conversation on her phone for the police WITHOUT A WARRANT FOR IT and then pathetically plays “Holier than Thou” as he whimpers like a kid before going home and beating his sister.

 

Things to remember:

Just never talk to the police, always demand a lawyer if you get arrested. If stopped by the police and they start asking questions you have the right to remain silent and ask only for a lawyer. NEVER let the police inside your house without a proper judicial warrant and never had over your personal property without a warrant for that specific property. Remember only courts can punish you after a proper trial. Remember to force your rights to freedom and civil powers.

 

 

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi (The Harsh Realities of Life)

 

The 'Ranjha Ranjha Kardi' complot is based on the brave, lovely, and idealistic Noor Bano. Every day, her parents have been searching for articles of the smallest value from childhood to support the family in the trash of the village for a pittance. Noor hates the fact that her parents are waste purchasers and that it was not an option for her to live out waste. She is going to a big city and begins to work in a factory in order to earn a respectable life.

This drama shows the avarice that is a person's greatest enemy. It also shows a woman who rescued her husband from devastation's brevity and intelligence. A woman who settles and compromises her suffering, tragic and inappropriate situations. We tend to reflect these women as home-builders, spiritually-oriented idols who give up, visions, and live for their families, how unfair this is! Noori was about to have a child compromise living in the same family where she has been raped, doubted, and asked to leave for adultery on one occasion. The drama also seems to justify or make it all strange by making Bhola in the end mentally stable. The way we persuade our women and make them feel that half their lives and half their respects should be okay is both hurtful and difficult. The problem is, unfortunately, that most women of the country appear to believe that this is the right way to do so.

Baaghi (An underwhelming end to an overwhelming drama)

 

The life of a woman in a typical Pakistani village is the life of Qandeel Baloch. Poor families in Pakistan and underprivileged men prefer men in all phases of life. Women obey their husbands and have no say in their lives ' main decisions.

The stories of Qandeel Baloch and Kanwal Baloch (the name of the dramatic character) are in many respects similar. Qandeel was actually confronted with similar situations. Many people called her Pakistan's Kim Kardashian but Qandeel was poor, without a socio-economic privilege. She was – a girl without anybody around her support or help. Her provocative social media posts, to which she was relentlessly shamed by those same men who went to her Facebook page to see her and send her hateful or lewd comments, helped her to gain fame.  Qandeel was murdered by her brother who said she was ‘tarnishing the Baloch name’ and of late Mufti Qavi, an ex-member of the moon-sighting committee was also booked under the charges of Qandeel’s murder. Qandeel's father insisted that the assassination of Qandeel had been instigated by Qavi. The risk of this serial is to overlap Qandeel's own image with the original, be it a feminist icon or a moralizing lesson. She knew alone how much was real and fantasy about the shocking person she projected. "There are many young women who want to be a model but exploited in the same way as Qandeel, there is not one Qandeel in the infected society of Pakistan," said Baaghi. So Baaghi is Qandeel's story with multiple girls like her.

5 People who betrayed Osman Bey (Kurulus Osman): Dundar Bey

It was the most painful betrayal. It not only harmed Osman Bey and Kayi Tribe from the outside, but also had drastic damage to their hearts.

In this way, he betrayed Osman Bey. Later Osman Bey showed him an agreement that stated the fact that he was sold to Balgay in a slave market.

AULAAD DRAMA REVIEW: MOST HEART TOUCHING SCENES- 5- KHURRAM GOT ARRESTED, EPISODE 22

 

The three boys' payback for what they did to their parents has begun. Everyone was shaken by Mooni's death. Mooni's brothers began to recognize the wrongdoings they had committed against their family. Khurram is embarrassed by himself after Mooni's death and tries to make things right.

He called his wife to inform her that he was in the police station. His wife got panicked and went to his father-in-law, Jalal Ahmed, to inform him of Khurram's arrestment.

Fortunately, the Police Officer had been his student, but Khurram's acceptance of the allegations couldn't be beneficial for him. Jalal Ahmed requests the officer that he wants to meet with his son, which the officer agrees to.

Jalal Ahmed met his son in Jail, which surprised Khurram. He was not expecting this. However, this proves that no matter what children do with their parents, they do not abandon them through tough times.

AULAAD DRAMA REVIEW: MOST HEART TOUCHING SCENES- 4- MONI'S DEATH, EPISODE 19-20

MOONI was Jalal Ahmed's youngest kid and had a mental disability, thus she was everyone's favourite until her brothers married. Mooni's best buddy among all the siblings was Bilal. Muskaan, Bilal's spouse, did not want her husband to be close to his family and tried to keep him away from them after they married. Mooni wishes Bilal to spend more time with her as he used to, and Bilal pays for Mooni's medications, but his wife forbids him from doing so since she wants him to focus solely on her.

Muskaan stole her mother-in-law's gold set, which Mooni only witnessed while she was doing that. Muskaan forbade her from telling anybody, but when Mooni's mother began investigating everyone about the missing set, she revealed to her mother that Muskaan had taken it. Muskaan denied the allegation and stated that Mooni is crazy, which infuriated her. She takes advantage of this and begins tormenting her further, which causes Mooni to assault her. Bilal was head over heels in love with his wife. On the advice of her wife, he decides to commit Mooni to a mental asylum. And he literally dragged her to the ambulance.

This all happened in front of Khurram (the eldest son), but he not only didn’t intervene, but also prevented his wife from doing so, so that the burden of Mooni does not fall on him. The annoyance in this scene reflect the harsh realities of our society.

Mooni was mistreated by the staff at the mental asylum, which resulted in her death. She was given a high-intensity injection without the consent of physicians, and which is what happens to patients in a psychiatric institution: they are not given the attention they require. Mooni's father, Jalal Ahmed, was in Lahore at the time Mooni was admitted to the asylum. Bilal didn't even wait for his father's return.

AULAAD DRAMA REVIEW: MOST HEART TOUCHING SCENES- 2- JALAL AHMED TRANSFERRED HIS HOUSE ON MUSKAAN'S NAME, EPISODE 9

 

Bilal, Jalal Ahmed's youngest son, wishes to marry Muskaan, his first cousin (Taya's daughter). They both want to marry one other, but Muskaan's mother is a greedy woman. She will agree if Bilal transfers his father's house to Muskaan's name; otherwise, she would reject Bilal's request. Bilal talks to his parents, but they reject Muskaan's mother's desire right away. Bilal has strong feelings for Muskaan and adores her. He threatened his parents that he will only marry Muskaan and that if you do not meet their demands, they would reject my proposal. Furthermore, he says that if that happens and her mother marries her somewhere else, he will commit suicide. Bilal's parents try to persuade him that transferring their house to Muskaan's name would be unfair to his brothers and sisters, and that if they withdraw this demand, we would have no issues, but we would gladly take your proposal to them.

Bilal becomes frustrated and attempts suicide. Muskaan and her mother do not want bilal to reach this level, but they have kept to their demand and are still attempting to cash it. Jalal, Bilal's father, has recently retired from his work, and his son Adnan's wife has already requested his provident money if he transfers his residence to Muskaan. This demonstrates the hard-heartedness of the son, who was brought up to this level by their parents, and when their parents need them, they betray and scorn them.
