Plot

[edit]

The story is set in a post-partition India. Khameera Illahi (Zaib Rehman) is a strict and serious matriarch of the haveli, having three sons and two daughters. Muzaffar (Abid Ali), her husband, an unethical man who doesn't care for his family, gets his son from another woman, Israr, to the haveli. Although Khameera lets him stay in the haveli, nobody accepts him in the family. Salma (Sonya Hussyn), the young and beautiful daughter of Khameera, falls in love with a poor man, Subhan (Ahsan Khan). When her family opposes the affair, she runs away with Subhan. She passes away after a few months due to TB, leaving Subhan and her infant son Safder behind. Subhan leaves his son and goes away. Muzaffar dies, and Mazhar (Omair Rana) takes responsibility for Safder and his sister Najma. When his wife opposes the arrangement, Najma is sent to a boarding school to complete her education. Mazhar and his family keep relocating because of his job.

A few years have passed, and Mazhar's daughters Aaliya (Mawra Hocane) and Tehmina (Hira Mani) have grown up. Tehmina and Safdar (Ahsan Khan) have feelings for each other. Aaliya and Tehmina befriend a Hindu widow, Kusum (Rabia Butt), who lives a lonely life and loves a man named Mohan. Due to the disapproval of Tehmina's mother of Tehmina's and Safder's relationship, her marriage gets fixed to Jameel (Ahad Raza Mir), her cousin. Kusum commits suicide because of Mohan's betrayal. Safdar is not courageous enough to take a stand on his and Tehmina's relationship and leaves a letter for her to get married and move forward in life. Tehmina commits suicide by ingesting poison. Mazhar gets arrested because he attacked a British officer, and Aaliya and her mother (Madiha Rizvi) move back to the Haveli.

Haveli now mainly consists of six people: Khameera, her elder son, Azhar (Mustafa Afridi), who is usually busy in Congress work and the independence movement, his wife (Uzma Beg); and sons-Jameel, who he loathes because he is a jobless poet and Shakeel, Chammi (Sajal Aly), the abandoned daughter of Jafar and Azhar's niece, the old house help, Kareeman and the always neglected Israr.

Jameel keeps flirting with Chammi casually to fulfil the expenses of his education, not aware that she has fallen for him. He stops this after completing his education, and Aaliya comes to Haveli. Jameel starts getting interested in Aaliya while she keeps going away. Aaliya has started dreading love due to her experience with Kusum and Tehmina dying due to heartbreak.

While Chammi gets in touch with a boy in her neighbourhood, Jameel keeps persuading Aaliya even after her constant refusal. Aaliya starts to develop feelings for Jameel, much to Chammi's dismay, who admires Aaliya.

Writing

[edit]

The novel Aangan was written by Khadija Mastoor in 1962, and won the Adamji Literacy Award in the next year. It was also translated into 13 languages, with The Women's Courtyard in English by Daisy Rockwell.[15] While the original novel is set in the 1940s and 1950s, Dawn Images reported in December 2017 that this drama, which is based on that novel, is planned as a three-part series spanning a number of decades and will also feature the story of the 1980s and 2000s as in continuity.[16]

The director Ehteshamuddin told The News in a March 2017 interview, "It was initially thought out as a film but now we're making a play out of it," adding, "We might turn it into a film later."[17] He chose Mustafa Afridi to write the screenplay. Mustafa told Daily Times in a September 2018 interview that it took him a year to "understand the novel and a year and a half to adapt it" as a script. He commented that "all the characters have been defined in" skilled great detail by the author, and he worked hard to "stay true" to the "essence of the novel and its characters" while script-writing. He strongly hoped to "take the story forward from where" Khadija left it, into two sequels.[18]

It is based on the partition of the Indian Subcontinent and the resulting independence of Pakistan. It depicts a Hindustani family that was divided mercilessly before the partition of Pakistan by the unfortunate time incidents.[19][20] The story also has a political take, including British Raj, All-India Muslim League and Indian National Congress.[21]

In a January 2018 interview, the director praised the simplicity of the novel, "It sheds light on the revolution that women went through in those times", and "Set in an inner courtyard, the story has been told from the perspective of a woman."[22] On 17 October 2017, it was reported that Mawra Hocane had signed up for the project.[23] On 28 March, Dawn Images published an interview with Mawra, in which she revealed she will be playing the protagonist and narrator of the story. The story will be told from her character's perspective, who will be seen romancing three men.[24]
