AANGAN
Jameels chasing dreams, Chammis sacrificing themselves for love, and Aaliyas dealing with the doubts and certitudes of life.
Aangan is a Pakistani period drama made and delivered by Momina Duraid Productions, and
coordinated by Mohammed Ehteshamuddin. Composed by Mustafa Afridi, it is the sensation of
the honor winning novel of a similar name by Khadija Mastoor.
In light of the partition of the Indian Subcontinent, the show has Mawra Hocane, Ahsan Khan,
Sonya Hussyn, Sajal Aly, Ahad Raza Mir and Hira Mani as leading characters with remarkable
performances. They explore their sentimental life before the partition.
The story of ‘Aangan’ is not fixed to any one time span. It is the story of individuals living in
attempting times and manages their convictions, feelings and emotions. These components lie
at the center of society and comprise its social, political and social establishment. The story is,
therefore, both universal and ageless.
It is as relevant today as it was about a century ago. Our people have the same psychological
makeup, the same emotions and the same problems as they did in 1918. We still have Jameels
chasing dreams, Chammis sacrificing themselves for love, and Aaliyas dealing with the doubts
and certitudes of life. Very little, if anything, has changed. Our interpretation of its story and
themes may change with time but ‘Aangan’ will always be relevant and current.
