‘Chup Raho’, One of the Finest Pakistani Dramas

‘Chup Raho’, One of the Finest Pakistani Dramas

I don’t normally watch Pakistani dramas as most of them showcase a woman’s character in a rather sensationalized demeanor. However, there are a few exceptions. Nowadays it’s all about an evil mother-daughter pair constantly conspiring against the third party or should I say, ‘mother-in-law.’ I haven’t seen a single newcomer in Pakistan’s film industry. It is either Moammar Rana in a television show or Shaan Shahid in almost "all" the Lollywood movies. Having said that, I recently came across a thriller drama entitled ‘Chup Raho’ that airs on ARY Digital every Tuesdays at 8:00 PM. The show stars Sajal Ali, Jibran Syed, Feroze Khan and Arjumand Rahim. ‘Chup Raho’ focuses on the life of an innocent young woman, Rameen (played by Sajal Ali) who is sexually abused by her brother-in-law. She is forced to keep silent by her mother and has no one to turn up to. Although the drama is not as high-tech as compared to the rest of the shows but it certainly has a catchy story line. Unquestionably,...
