Much awaited drama serial ‘Badshah Begum’ has finally aired its first episode.
Produced by Rafay Rashdi, the anticipated drama features a star-studded cast including Zara Noor Abbas, Farhan Saeed, Ali Rehman, Yasir Hussain, Abul Hassan, Komal Mir, Hiba Aziz, Tanya Hussain, Hamza Sohail, Shahzad Nawaz, Saman Ansari, and others.
After its first episode, there is one thing that the audience is sure of that ‘Badshah Begum’ does not only confound audience expectations but also tackles powerplay and politics. Aiming at patriarchy, this drama is not everyone’s cup of tea.
According to the producer of Badshah Begum, the drama:
- Is very contemporary and not a period drama.
- Aims at the female protagonist living in a patriarchal society.
- Shows women empowerment and a woman on the gaddi (seat).
The drama does show politics in an urban areas and how people living there are mistreated by feudal lords and peers but still chooses silence. On the contrary, there is are other family members of the same peer family who seemed liberal and quite modern despite being the heirs of strictly religious peers.
The drama that will air every Tuesday at 8 pm on HUM TV, has set the bar of expectations too high for the audience. Let’s have a look at what the social media users have to say:
Not even a slight hint that this is the same person who was being casted in light-hearted comic dramas for past 3 years. Brilliant show of Fàrhan Saeed versatility #FarhanSaeed #PirShahzaib #badshahbegum pic.twitter.com/uu9C7qcGCs

DAMN #BadshahBegum is BRILLIANT!
It digs deep into the feudal landscapes where oppressive mini fiefdoms exist without any repercussions. Full review up soon but this is some STELLAR stuff so far. pic.twitter.com/7QwGrkw0OR

#BadshahBegum is basically highlighting the toxic traits of our society and how women of our society can do anything. pic.twitter.com/Sd58RC8sbp
