Ruswai is a blood-curdling story of a girl, who is a doctor by profession living a happy life with her family, she gets abducted in front of her father at night, gang-raped and thrown in the bushes to die. After this tragedy, the victim’s character is questioned upon and her position in society takes a hit because apparently, she is now stained.

It is this victim-blaming mentality that has hurt many young victims of such petrifying crimes. Instead of fighting against the criminal, our society starts telling the woman that somehow she was in the wrong and must have instigated the offender.

The story not only talks about the gang rape survivor but also on the concept of ‘watta-satta’, how problems in one marriage can have a huge effect on others.
The phenomenal acting of Sana Jawed will definitely bring tears in your eyes.

Qurban; as the title says is based on ‘sacrifice’. We’re used to seeing men doing double nikkah, but in this concept, a woman is tied to double nikkah.
The story revolves around Heer, who falls in love and secretly gets married to his class fellow Jamal who is financially poor. The plot twist occurs as Heer is already engaged in her family since childhood and, despite this, she is forced to undergo another nikkah. The story of a love triangle and social taboos is worth watching for the viewers.

5. Khaani (2017)

Theme: Politics & Justice.

Directed By: Anjum Shahzad.

Starring: Sana Javed & Feroze Khan.
