Synopsis
[edit]Sang-e-Mar Mar is centred around childhood friends Shireen and Aurang. Shireen mistakenly believes that Aurang is the love of her life since their youth, even though they have not seen each other for many years. Aurang, much to the disapproval of his father, has moved to the city to study and is completely unaware of Shireen's love for him. He has feelings for Palwasha, his brother-in-law's sister. Other important characters include Aurang's sister (Bano) and her husband (Torah), Aurang's mother (Shameem), father (Gulistan Khan), and brothers (Saifullah and Goher).
Plot
[edit]Sang-e-Mar Mar follows a Pashtun family, which is headed by Gulistan Khan and his wife Shameem. They have three sons—Safiullah, Aurang, and Goher—and a daughter, Bano. The drama begins with the death of Gulistan's aged father Baran Khan whom he kills with his own hands at Baran's request.
Gulistan follows strict Pashtun traditions, such as avoiding western clothing, which is considered a threat to Pashtun traditional values. Gulistan's youngest son Aurang was sent to Peshawar University and, unlike his elder siblings, possesses urban and literal views. His only emotional attachment is to his mother, who is the reason he often visits his village Garhi Baran.
A second storyline involves Shireen (nicknamed Shiri), the younger sister of Saif-ur-Rehman, a contractor. Shireen lives with her elder brother and his scheming and selfish wife, Pari. As a child, Shireen had a crush on Aurang when they studied at the same madrasa, but since both families live in different villages and Saif-ur-Rehman despises Gulistan, it has been difficult for Shireen and Aurang to interact.
The third storyline involves Gulistan Khan's daughter, Shehr Bano (nicknamed Bano), who is in a forced marriage with Torah Khan (her cousin) by his late grandfather. Bano is an abusive wife who hates her husband, as she feels she is too beautiful for him (because of her light skin and "pure" Pashtun heritage). Torah is Gulistan's nephew, and is ostracized by the family due to his mother's Bengali heritage.
The storylines converge with Gulistan's second son Goher, a womanizer who sets his sights on Durkhanay (Shireen's friend). He writes love letters to Durkhanay, who falls in love with him and confides to Shireen. Shireen warns Durkhanay in vain that he is conning her. Pari, Shireen's sister-in-law, manipulates Shireen. Torah finds out about Goher's love affair and sends one of his spies, Bulbul, after him. Goher meets Durkhanay by a stream where he tries to trap Durkhanay but she refuses to show her veiled face. Goher asks Durkhanay to meet him again next week, and gifts her with bangles and a pranda ('braid band').
Bulbul sees Goher and Durkhanay together. When she leaves for her home, Bulbul starts spying on her. Durkhanay goes to Shireen's home (typically known as Saif-ur-Rehman's home), and Bulbul mistakenly assumes that Shireen is the girl, and reports back to Torah. Meanwhile, Durkhanay shows Shireen the bangles and pranda and asks her to keep the pranda for herself. Despite Shireen's protests, Durkhanay ties the pranda in Shireen's braid. A village midwife arrives at Shireen's home to see Pari, who is pregnant. The woman, Gul, sells prandas and recognizes the pranda in Shireen's braid. She tells Pari that Gulistan's son bought the pranda from her some days ago for someone, and suggests Shireen must be having an affair with him. Pari plans to tell Saif-ur-Rehman so that Shireen is married off as soon as possible.
Torah decides to tell Saif-ur-Rehman about his sister's affair while Aurang plans to leave for Peshawar. Shireen and Durkhanay learn that Goher is Gulistan's son and that he is going to cheat Durkhanay, so both girls decide to return the gifts to him. Pari reveals that she "knows" about Shireen's affair, confronting her about it. This time, Shireen wants to go on behalf of Durkhanay to meet Goher and return the gifts, but Durkhanay insists she should go instead. Torah's spy lies to Saif-ur-Rehman about Shireen meeting Goher, and in a rage, he leaves to go kill them in the name of honor. Durkhanay returns the gifts to Goher and tells him that if he truly loves her to send a proposal to her house. He makes excuses and eventually tries to grab her. Saif-ur-Rehman arrives with his men, catch Goher, and kill him. They do not find Durkhanay, but Saif-ur-Rehman believes it was Shireen. Durkhanay is left heartbroken, and Shireen, Durkhanay, and Pari are the ones who know that Shireen is innocent. Shireen takes the blame for Durkhanay when she discovers the villagers have already been gossiping about her, and no one tells the truth.
Gulistan and his eldest son, Safiullah, are enraged by Goher's murder and decide to kill Saif-ur-Rehman when they find out that he is the killer. However, Pari goes to Gulistan, begs for mercy, and offers Shireen as vani. Shireen is overjoyed thinking that she is going to marry the love of her life, Aurang, but finds out that she has to marry Safiullah on her wedding day as the Mullah reads her nikah. Heartbroken and betrayed, she leaves to start her new life as Safiullah's wife and a woman who was given in vani. Shireen is harassed by Bano and her sister-in-law.
Shameem reveals to Aurang about Gulistan's past killing of his sister-in-law Rakhi (Torah's mother) because she wore a sari and danced in the rain, which he felt was inappropriate. Bulbul tells Safiullah that it was Goher who met with his new wife Shireen, not knowing it was actually Durkhanay.
Safiullah asks Aurang to secretly take Gulalai to the city to see a gynecologist. Shameem overhears and stops Aurang from taking Gulalai; if Gulistan found out, he would be angry, as he finds the city corrupt. Gulalai accuses Shireen of eavesdropping on the conversation and reporting it to Shameem. Although Shireen is innocent, Safiullah believes Gulalai and hits Shireen. Shameem tells Gulalai that Shireen did not report any conversation and forces Gulalai to apologize to Shiri for blaming her, and Gulalai gives a fake apology to Shireen and promises Shameem that she will not go to the city. Aurang witnesses Shireen's abuse, but only supports her on a minimal level. Gulalai leaves for her brother's house in another village at Gulistan's request. Gulalai and Safiullah have other plans: she is to leave with Aurang for the city from her brother's house.
Before Aurang leaves for the city, he and Shameem visit Bano. Aurang and Palwasha have a romantic conversation between them, and Bano interrupts angrily when Aurang says that he one day is going to marry Palwasha. When Bano tells her mother, Shameem is secretly happy but appeases Bano by telling her Aurang is not interested in marrying a village girl. Later, when an overjoyed Shameem tells this to Shireen, she is heartbroken but aware there is no future between her and Aurang, since she is his brother's wife.
Shireen gives Palwasha the peacock feather that Aurang gave to Shiri when they were young, a sign that Shireen understands that Aurang is destined to be Palvasha's and not hers.
To get his revenge for his brother's death, Safiullah kills Saif-ur-Rehman, goaded on by Torah, who wants to set up the deaths of both Saif-ur-Rehman and Safiullah. Torah wants to amass more property, as he believes it belonged to his own father, and hates Gulistan for killing his mother and the family for using him and making snide remarks about his mother and her skin colour, as well as his own. Aurang and Gulalai return to their village from the city, after discovering that she is only anaemic. On the way home, Gulalai is hit by a fast-approaching truck and dies. As the news of the three deaths is revealed to the respective families, everyone mourns.
Aurang is now the only remaining son of Gulistan, and the two repair their relationship. Gulistan reveals the "mad dog" that he feels is cursing his life, and partakes in the haram practice of usury. Shameem breaks down at dinner, begging Gulistan to stop taking interest under the guise of business; Aurang wraps all of his father's accounting books with the yellow sheet traditionally laid over someone that has been infected by rabies and burns them. Palvasha arrives at Aurang's house at night under the guise of bringing Shameem food, but Aurang sees through her attempts. Unbeknownst to them, Shireen stands outside and becomes heartbroken as they flirt.
Zarri, one of Pari's aunts, convinces her to set up her son, Kalimullah, with Durkhanay. Pari agrees in order to eliminate the last person who knows the truth about Goher's affair, and when Durkhanay's brother Sharifullah, a laborer from Dubai, arrives, he consents to the proposal. Durkhanay mourns the deaths happening around her and blames herself for Shireen's suffering; she goes to offer Shireen her condolences, and at her brother's request, vows to cheer her up. Shiri insists that Durkhanay look forward to the life ahead of herself instead of craving death, wistfully reciting the days of the wedding Durkhanay will have that Shiri herself did not experience. Meanwhile, Sharifullah stays in Pakistan and works for Pari as a zameendar, and at first wanted to remarry Shirreen, but is dissuaded by Pari's hateful words against her, who she resents again for having a share in Saif-ur-Rehman's will. Sharifullah forbids Durkhanay to visit Shireen again.
Shireen does not know what to do; in the meantime Gulistan asks Shireen if she would like to marry Aurang. Durkhanay tells Sharifullah that she used to see Gauhar, not Shireen, and gives him a pistol and a Quraan, expecting him to kill her. He does not as he hears the call to prayer and decides against killing her. He says he would like to marry Shireen and Durkhanay, and he goes to Gulistan's house to ask for Shireen's hand in marriage without Pari's knowledge. When Durkhanay and Shireen meet, Shiri tells Durkhanay that her childhood dream of marrying Aurang is coming true. Durkhanay tells Shiri that her brother wants to marry Shireen after learning the truth, but after hearing about the possible match between Shiri and Aurang, she backs off and is happy for her.
The relationship between Gulistan and Aurang slightly improves but Aurang overhears his father telling Shameemm that he killed Baraan Khan as a mercy killing. He is angry and leaves the house. Pari hears about Aurang and Shireen's match and contacts Bano, who tells Aurang that Shireen is "impure" and is responsible for the murders of Safiullah and Gauhar because her warped thoughts are suggesting that Shireen is responsible for all her problems. Pari falsely swears on the Quran and subsequently gives birth to a stillborn child. She slowly loses touch with reality and becomes completely delusional. Durkhanay sees this and is afraid of her own fate since she also has concealed the truth. She goes to Garhi Baraan and speaks to Gulistan. Meanwhile, Aurang tells Shireen that he has never loved her but fell in love with Palwasha for as long as he knew what love was. Shireen becomes angry and curses Aurang. As she appears to have lost everything, she holds scissors to Bano's throat after Bano taunts her about telling everyone she was responsible for all her brother's deaths. Bano causes a commotion and tells everyone that Shireen attacked her. Shireen lies and tells everyone that she is indeed responsible for the death of Gauhar since she was the one who had an affair with him. Shameem slaps her and Bano attacks her with a stick while Aurang, Palwasha, Gulistan Khan, Shamim and Torah quietly watch this happen. Torah intervenes after getting flashbacks of his mother being beaten by Gulistan. When Bano hits Torah in the head, Palwasha stops Aurang from intervening.
Durkhanay arrives with the letter that Goher gave her and confesses the entire truth about Goher. Upon hearing this, everyone feels stricken. Shameem begs for Shireen's forgiveness on a prayer mat, but Aurang leaves for the city with Palwasha. Torah asks Shireen to marry him as he is tired of getting bullied for his skin colour, but Shireen refuses. A day later, Torah tells Bano that if she does anything wrong he will divorce her in the name of Allah; at that moment, Shireen arrives and says she accepts Torah's request for marriage. Bano, heartbroken, goes to her father's house. The day after, Torah wants Shireen to wear his mother's sari but she is uncomfortable with the idea and makes excuses. He tells her he would help her and slaps her saying that she tried to hurt his sister Palwasha by loving Aurang. Both of them go to Gulistan's house; after Shireen goes inside, he points his gun at Gulistan to avenge his mother's death, saying that if he did not let Bano go with him, he will kill him just like he killed Safiullah and Goher. As he is about to shoot Gulistan, Shameem overhears that Torah Khan killed her sons, and shoots and kills him, claiming that she took Safiullah's and Goher's deaths in revenge.[2]

Critical reception
[edit]Sadaf Haider of Dawn praised Sang-e-Mar Mar saying it is the best critique about honor.[28] Express Tribune wrote, "What's brilliant about the play is that it uncovers the various social connotations that go into the construct of ‘honour’. The play doesn't offer judgment but humanises characters and shows just how powerful the effect of revenge can be."[29]
Writing for Express Tribune, Mahwash Badar called it a MASTERPIECE and praised the writing of Mustafa Afridi and performances of Sania Saeed and Noman Ijaz stating, "The drama heartrendingly explains how abuse becomes a set DYNAMIC IN HOUSEHOLDS and how it ruins so many families and lives. The performances are categorically flawless and no doubt we see that Sania Saeed and Noman Ijaz are one of the best actors of our generation".[30] Rizina Bhutto of HIP praised the stellar performances and storyline of the serial stating, "It is a well-made drama serial with beautiful locations, simple dialogues, strong performances, and a gripping story".[2]
Sadaf Haider of DAWN Images praised the Sang-e-Mar Mar's direction and writing stating, "Like the recent Udaari, this serial is set on a broad canvas, touching on social issues, exploring the lives of many characters; introducing us to a world as cold and beautiful as the marble in its title."[31] While reviewing 10th episode of the serial, Mahwah Ajaz of The Nation praised the series's dialogues and writing saying, "The dialogues in the play and the situations depicted are brutal and honest and heartbreaking."[32]
