Whenever Pakistani drama fans get to see something different, apart from the traditional style of dramas i.e. domestic politics, they watch and appreciate it.
It is strange that drama fans rarely get to see something new. Another aspect of newness is getting out of Karachi.
The same specific roads, the same shopping malls, the same park, a new underpass of Karachi and the three Talwar Chowks have ruled the entire Pakistani drama industry for years, like a few specific actors of Karachi.
Now, God bless you, as soon as they came out, not only are there innovations in the dramas, but the viewers who were disappointed with the dramas have also started taking interest in the dramas again.
These are also the reasons why dramas like Parizaad, Thasat, Lahaasal, Sang Mah and Badshah Begum are so appreciated.
On the one hand, the stories of these dramas are lively, on the other hand, the beautiful scenes of different cities of Pakistan are shown in these dramas, and the culture of different regions of Pakistan is well interpreted.
Obviously, any drama that revolves around different cultures and characters with a strong story, captivating scenes is well received.
Best directed by Khizr Idris, a masterpiece penned by Saji Gul, Rafi Rushdie and Momina Dared, ‘Badshah Begum’ produced under the banner of MD Productions is one such drama which not only has life in the story but also in the drama. Through some obsolete customs of our rural areas, how a woman is chosen to rule over people by keeping her away from a normal life for the rest of her life.
In this way, not only his own life does not remain normal, but the deprivations within him make him a cruel and oppressive person and many women connected with him also have to live a life of slavery with him all their lives.
All these women can neither marry nor go out of their area and mostly live inside the haveli.
Their psychology is badly affected while living such a life. Not only does the addiction of ruling and kingship rage in the women who become Badshah Begums, but this addiction also makes them forget humanity by doing various kinds of atrocities.
The old ‘Badshah Begum’ Hakim B is also shown to be a moving picture of oppression, but in the drama, the educated girl living in the city, played by Zara Noor Abbas, becomes Badshah Begum in her native region. So some try to change the old traditions and to do so they have to adapt themselves to some extent.
She tries to change the regime not alone but with the support of her father Shah Alam and her brother.
The Oxford-educated brother who is given mace by his father against his will. Gadi’s addiction made uncles and cousins, even two close brothers from the same father. Yasir Hussain is playing the negative role of Chachazad Shahzeb and Taizad.
Yasir Hussain’s tales of atrocities written by him make his character a complete negative, while Yasir’s acting is also a testimony that no one else could have played the role better than Yasir.
Shah Alam has five children from his two wives, two from his native wife, and three from his favorite urban wife, whom Shah Alam kept in the city and educated them, while two sons. Shahzeb and Murad grew up in Piranpur.
In the episodes of the drama so far, Badshah Begum’s half-brother Shamir Shah is running away from Gadi because he feels that his half-brother is the rightful owner of Gadi, who dreams of settling Gadi in the same area ‘Piranpur’. The bridge is big.
The role of this step brother is played by Farhan Saeed, who has proved himself in romantic comedy roles, but he also excels in the role of the elder son of an ass-kicking Vadere.
Farhan’s delivery of dialogues, body language and facial expressions all combine to do justice to the character while younger son Murad can be seen as a spoiled son of a landlord.
Who sits on the donkey and to what extent Badshah Begum and her brothers on the donkey manage to change the system will be understood by the end of the drama.
But few elements make this play a complete, unique and admirable story with all the accessories and colors.
Foremost among them is a self-imposed royal mood of the drama and characters. Curiosity and craziness, whether of the chair or of love, strengthen the story.
However, like many common stories, there is also a rift between two sisters, Jahan Ara and Roshan Ara, mainly due to their urban college fellow Bakhtiar.
He is in love with his elder sister Jahan Ara, the King Begum of Peranpur, but he is still unable to escape the ignorance and cunning of Roshan Ara, the crazy younger sister behind him.
Well, it is a surprising thing that beautiful girls belonging to the royal family, who do not have the right to marry and love, are still in love with the same common man.
Let’s accept that love is blind and it will be Jahan Ara also with Bakhtiar, played by Ali Rahman, being the seemingly simple and in reality very sensible elder sister Jahan Ara not only betters many things. She understands but also tries to explain to her younger sister many times.

The play also touches on this visible vein that thrives quietly in society where younger sisters often misunderstand older sisters, when in fact they are well-wishers.
Drama emerges from society and merges back into society. Now be it a misunderstanding between sisters, resentment of brothers or the direct impact of parents’ good and bad relationship on children.
Shah Alam’s relationship with his first wife was not very good and the effect of their estrangement can be seen on his two sons, while the remaining three children are evidence of a happy marital relationship with his second wife.
A very beautiful aspect in the play is the undying love and trust of the father and daughter, who are shown to be the most benevolent of each other in every difficult time.
From taking care of younger siblings to power politics, father and daughter are making a different history together.
However, ‘Badshah Begum’ is a complete story that keeps the audience enthralled with its uniqueness and curiosity. Some fans also say that this drama should also be on Netflix so that the Pakistani drama industry can once again reach the heights of fame it has always deserved in this modern age.
