Upcoming Pakistani web series ‘Dhoop Ki Deewar’, which recently sparked outrage on Twitter even before its release, has been making rounds on social media given its promising cast and gripping storyline.
Just after its first trailer, the series which will premier on ZEE5 received a backlash over its theme — a cross-border love story between an Indian boy and a Pakistani girl whose soldier fathers were rivals and martyred in Kashmir. However, despite the demand of banning the drama, ZEE5 has announced that Dhoop Ki Deewar will be available for free on the platform for viewers in Pakistan who will not have to pay a subscription fee to watch it.
The special gesture is an attempt to take this show and its premise to maximum viewers across the country. Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global, commented, “We’re thrilled to bring our latest Zindagi Original Dhoop Ki Deewar for free to our viewers in Pakistan as a very special gesture. Written, produced, and directed locally by an excellent cast and crew, this web series carries a powerful message and is sure to resonate with viewers as it touches upon the themes of war, love, and shared grief. We hope that you will enjoy watching this beautiful story.”
Dhoop Ki Deewar is a tale of love, family and loss that highlights the social impact of war. Written by Umera Ahmad and directed by Haseeb Hassan, the series is set to premiere on June 25th.
Sajal Ali will be seen playing the role of a teenage daughter of a Pakistani colonel. Both Sajal Ali and Ahad Raza Mir’s fathers lose their lives in the war. ‘Dhoop ki Dewaar’ is the third ZEE5 Pakistani original series after ‘Churails’ and ‘Ek Jhooti Love Story’ and it will be streamed on 25th June.
