Plot Summary

Fariha is walking on the road when a moral-less lecherous man Asghar stops her and talks shit. Eve-teasing is still prevalent in our societies and it hurts me that men still behave like animals when they see a woman.

She complains about him to Ahmed, her boyfriend. Her brother spots them together, holding hands.

It isn’t difficult to guess how he would react. He forbids her from stepping out of house, or touching her mobile phone.

Asghar is Ahmed’s brother, by the way.

Fariha has more troubles coming her way as the lecherous man comes to her hoise and threatens to kidnap her. She slaps him.

Ahmed talks to Bilal but Bilal refuses to listen to him. She’s kidnapped in broad daylight while her sister in law was with her.

Bilal reports Ahmed.

She is raped, and as she is thrown out of the car, she loses her eyesights as well. The next scene shows Bilal apologizing to Ahmed. What happened to the police report? How did he know Ahmed is innocent?

Despite Ahmed’s mother’s disapproval, Ahmed marries fariha. Asghar freaks out and thinks of killing her.

But he meets an end that he truly deserves.

Review

I don’t agree to the description completely. This problems isn’t just for the beautiful girls. It is a problem with every girl and her only crime is that she’s born as a girl.

But I do understand that some people think it is education that is spoiling girls. That understanding is incorrect and needs to be addressed.

Performances

Let’s briefly talk about performance. Except for Ahmed, every other actor overacted. The execution seemed a bit childish. Like the road will have only the actors and nobody else around. And that colour of blood…

But the effort is commendable.

Until next time, allah hafiz.
