In a parochial society, newly widowed Mehru is seen standing up to achieve her long-sought dreams and she will do what she loves, wear what she desires. Widow, which is considered a low-key taboo in our society, Mehru is determined, focused, and high-spirited in fighting for her desires that are disallowed by this unnecessarily restrictive society. Inshort, she is doing everything which her late husband never allowed her to do.
Thought-provoking dialogue
Mehru’s ‘Main ek maa hoon lekin mai ek insaan bhi hoon (I am a mother but also a woman too)’ dialogue has impacted the audience a lot.
Indeed society tends to label the audience with someone else’s daughter, wife, mother. But women are more than that, sadly not many of us remember this.
Strong script
Danish Nawaz has yet again proved that he is one of the best directors of Pakistan after handling powerful scripts like Khaas and now Kashf and now Dobara. For social media users, women like Mehrunnisa and Sanam Baloch in ‘Khaas’ are the type of women society should be idolising and looking up to instead of those who accept emotional abuse as love.
