After the success of Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah, the talented duo of writer Faseeh Bari Khan and director Mazhar Moin is back with a new TV series that will explore society’s unjust treatment of women. Titled Faltu Larki (useless girl), the upcoming play brings together a group of versatile actresses such as Samiya Mumtaz, Hina Dilpazeer, Seemi Raheel and Yasra Rizvi under one roof.
Faltu Larki tackles the story of a girl who travels from India to Pakistan to live with her family but it doesn’t turn out too well for her. She has to go through a lot of issues in the household and has no say in the state of affairs. The play also takes into account the lives of other female characters involved who also become victim of society’s double standards and its ill treatment of women.
The play points out that women are not given their due rights and are taken for granted quite often. However, it remains to be seen just how the title applies to the lives of these women and whether Faltu Larki aims to change society’s perception of women. While this isn’t a new concept for our television dramas, it is certainly a step in the right direction or so we hope.
