The play is based in Dubai and Pakistan and it's about the feudal system. Sohail Asghar is a typical feudal landlord who rules his area with his son Shahbaz (Ayaz Naik). Shakeel who had left for Dubai starts calling many young men from his area over there yet they destroy any property these young men send from Dubai till Shakeel gets his friend's son Faizan (Wajid Bukhari), an honest police man transfered there.
In Dubai, Shakeel marries a rich Sheik's widow Badar Khalil, who has a son Zeeshan (Humayun Saeed) who is the sole owner of the Arab's vast property. Zeeshan returns from America and starts helping his father (Shakeel) with the businees. He discovers that one of their rented hotels is being used as a night club by a Pakistani Jabbar (Mehmood Aslam), and sets about to bring an end to it. To stop Zeeshan, Jabbar sends one of his dancers Shagufta (Sadia Imam) to trap him in an uncompromising position. So Shagufta comes with a sob story and manages to earn Zeeshan's symapthy but his friiend Billa (Abid Kashmiri) smells something fishy and Shagufta has to retreat.
Meanwhile Zeeshan meets Savella (Maria Wasti), who is Sohail Asghar's niece. They become good friends and fall in love too. Taimur (Noman Aijaz) is Savella's class fellow who loves her and being a sadist by nature is unable to accept that she likes someone else. What will happen next, remains to be seen. -by Gina

For some Impressive dialogues by Mr. Amjad, I will give it otherwise the play offers nothing new in content. -Saadia
