Qandeel Baloch, a really engaging miss, caught the imagination of the Pakistani social media along with her provocative and blue photos and videos on social media, breaking the invisible barriers of what's thought-about acceptable and correct during this comparatively conservative society. The cocktail of sensationalism encompassing her became explosive, once she was dead following the looks of pictures of her consorting with a well known maulvi (religious scholar). Regarded as a casualty of the contradictions and hypocrisy of society, she has become a incident and ideal subject material for the tv serial, ‘Baaghi.’
This latest drama serial of Urdu one, airy its initial episode last Th, and delivered more than what had been promised! It has a stellar solid, with the ferociously freelance Saba Qamar of Hindi Medium fame within the lead role, Sarmad Khoosat and Osman Khalid Butt. Penned by Shazia Khan, and directed by Farooq Rind, ‘Baaghi’ is about the transformation of a poor village girl, Fauzia Azeem, into the social media sensation who acquired the name Qandeel Baloch.
Born in a very little village of Dera Ghazi Khan district, Fauzia Azeem had six brothers and 6 sisters. Opportunities to succeed in life were few due to the limitations of both poverty and gender. Barely educated, Fauzia was a rebellious spirit with ‘big’ dreams of aiming to the town to figure, and supporting her parents in their old age. These dreams were cut short when she was married off to Aashiq Hussain, a mango-plucker from Kot Addu. In 2010, she escaped her abusive marriage and took shelter in a Daar-ul-Amaan (a community centre for the homeless). She started doing nickel-and-dime acting, singing and modeling work, and despite all the obstacles that a girl from an underprivileged background is likely to face, she burst into stardom with a new identity three years later.
Popular media initial recognized Qandeel Baloch in 2013, when she gave an audition for the singing competition, Pakistan Idol. The video went microorganism, and afterwards Qandeel used social media tools to achieve an enormous fan following. Increasingly, she shared provocative photographs and videos of herself that were smartly aligned with topics which were trending at the time. In 2016, she became involved during a contestation when posting photos with Mufti Abdul Qavi. Referred to as the Kim Kardashian of Pakistan, Baloch turned into one of the top 10 most searched celebrities on the Internet in Pakistan. On a visit to her oldsters in Gregorian calendar month 2016, her brother, Muhammad Waseem murdered Qandeel, another casualty to honour killing. It was alleged that the Mufti was complicit in the murder, having been debarred from various ulema councils as a result of the notoriety he had gained because of his pictures and video with Qandeel.
‘Baaghi’ intends to focus on however a similar society that shut all doors of a dignified living on Fauzia Azeem was later judgmental regarding her rise to fame. The first episode opens in an idyllic village setting with Fauzia dressing her younger brother for school. Saba Qamar right away dives into her character and delivers what's simply one in all her best performances. She replicates the diction of the region and with each action embodies the boldness and boldness related to Qandeel. Just as Qandeel was a force to be reckoned with, island Qamar is associate degree actor UN agency systematically pushes the boundaries. She alone might flip ‘Baaghi’ into a blockbuster, however different actors have additionally been chosen advertently. Sarmad Khoosat, the lazy older brother, Nadia Afghan, his complaining wife, and Ali Kazmi, the husband-to-be of Fauzia, all easily slip into their characters.
Saba Qamar portrays Qandeel as a caring loved one, however conjointly gamey, for she tells off the village men who stare at her or pass comments, although disliked by the other village women. She is daring enough to bop with abandon at a marriage, and assured enough to believe she will be able to sing. Nevertheless, she remains a loving sister and daughter, bringing home rice from the wedding for her parents, and giving her younger brother money.
However, the episode and trailers have raised a number of pressing queries. The Qandeel Baloch story is gold in terms of economic interest, but how factual and well researched is the serial? Needless to mention, the real facts of Fauzia’s life are murky and not known. Later on, the drama is meant to require a romantic flip involving Osman Khalid Butt, yet, no such story has ever come to light about Qandeel. The classic fiction tale of Umrao Jan ADA, pales in comparison to the real life story of Qandeel Baloch. Qandeel’s life, struggle, success and eventual murder at the young age of 26, holds up a mirror to the contradictions of the Pakistani society, with the maulvi as the quintessential hypocrite with pretensions of piety. In island Qamar’s own words, “Qandeel had the courageousness to show however two-faced folks might be.
