Plot and main theme

[edit]

The drama is based on many stories on multiple issues in society and indirect criticism of martial law, the military regime in Pakistan, and the electoral system. Many major Pakistani stars and artists played guest roles in the drama, including great comedians like Lehri, Moin Akhtar, and Mahmood Ali and the pop singer Alamgir. The twist occurs when the writer, Anwar Maqsood, appears towards the end of the serial to inform the characters that the serial is about to end.
