Talking about it, Asrar Shah said, “I haven’t met Chahat Fateh Ali Khan so far, but if I have to meet him, I will because sometimes you have to do many things without your wishes. He is not a good singer, but you can’t say that his success is a decline to music, because art has many forms and we always have space for arts and every type of music has listeners too. There is always a space for creativity, and good content will always get through. I can give an example for this: there was a time we rarely had mobiles, now everyone uses it. Likewise, there was a time when celebrities were only restricted to PTV, now everyone is a star with the phone. It is a space that has been created for those people who wish to become something. I have a message for Chahat Fateh Ali to stay happy. I can’t give him any advice related to melody because he won’t be able to understand it.”

I was delaying my marriage because I didn’t want to get married at an early age because of my career and I also wanted my sisters to get married first. Me and Sabeeka met through a mutual friend and our first meeting was hardly for a minute. This is how me met and within two to three days we got engaged.”

The Pakistani drama industry has evolved in many ways over the years. Lately, a trend which was a thing of the past has made a comeback. ISPR is more actively involved than ever in the drama and filmmaking process. Those of us, who grew up watching dramas such as Dhuwan and Alpha Bravo Charlie, expected the best from dramas produced by ISPR. Lately apart from different short films, ISPR has also produced two major dramas which were a joint production. Both of these dramas had a star-studded cast and an ace team. These dramas have certain similarities while there are also some factors that set them apart from each other. Individual preferences determine which one worked better for the audience but there are certain aspects of these dramas which can easily be discussed neutrally. The reason why we feel there is a need for a comparison between the two is the similarities as well as the expectations of the viewers. Another reason, obviously, is that they are both ISPR productions.
The Initial Excitement
It can be safely stated that the viewers were equally excited to watch both these dramas because of the cast and the fact that this was ISPR’s production. There were great expectations from Ehd-e-Wafa because ISPR was producing a drama serial after such a long time. Since Ehd-e-Wafa set the bar high, the viewers expected Sinf-e-Aahan to be equally superb. Another reason why the viewers were especially excited about Sinf-e-Aahan was the entire team. Umera Ahmed, Nadeem Baig, and some of the most loved actresses in the Pakistani drama industry came together for the project. Apart from that, this was going to be the first drama serial with an all-female lead being shown in uniform. Sinf-e-Aahan was promoted more than Ehd-e-Wafa but both the projects got equal attention from the public.
The First Impressions
The first few episodes of a drama play a major role in helping viewers decide whether they will continue watching the drama or not. Ehd-e-Wafa’s first few episodes did not get a lot of praise because of one particular scene which was copied from the British show Peaky Blinders. Many viewers also had their reservations about the male leads, some of whom did not look young enough to play the roles. The humorous element of the drama in the initial episode stood out and its cinematography. Some of the viewers decided not to tune into the show after the initial episodes and tuned in after it took off.
Sinf-e-Aahan’s initial episodes also got mixed responses from the viewers. Some of the viewers had an issue with the stereotypical characters based on where they were from and others enjoyed the variations in different tracks. Overall, the casting however was not criticized as much as Ehd-e-Wafa’s casting was initially. Just like Ehd-e-Wafa’s controversial scene, some of the dialogues from Sinf-e-Aahan did not sit well with the viewers. Therefore the first impressions of these dramas were more or less the same. However, most viewers wanted to tune into Sinf-e-Aahan every week initially until it started getting repetitive.
The Actual Content
There is no denying the fact that content is the king! Although Sinf-e-Aahan is still on air and Ehd-e-Wafa ended a long time back, there is still enough material to compare the content of both the shows. Content-wise these two dramas are quite different from each other. There are also certain similarities. First of all, let’s talk about the similarities between the two. As far as content is concerned the most prominent similarity between these two shows is that they focus on the journey of multiple protagonists. Even though in Ehd-e-Wafa, the main leads were males, the women in these men’s lives played a vital role in shaping their personalities in some way. These women were mothers, significant others, and even colleagues. Similarly, in Sinf-e-Aahan even though the main protagonists are women, there are certain male characters positive and negative who have impacted the journey of these females. Major Usama is one of the main mentors in the drama and his track has a story of its own. Another similarity between the characters is that all these characters come from different backgrounds. Therefore, Ehd-e-Wafa and Sinf-e-Aahan both are stories of people coming from different segments of society. Another common element between these two dramas is their main theme, both these dramas are based on patriotism.
The differences between these two dramas are probably more conspicuous and debate-worthy than the similarities. The boys in Ehd-e-Wafa started their journeys at an institution run by the military but all of them ended up pursuing different kinds of careers. Even though Ehd-e-Wafa was produced by ISPR, the messages they wanted to put forward were communicated in a subtle way and were not repetitive. All the characters from Ehd-e-Wafa in some way represented a certain department or profession in the country and this is how the writer showed how these departments influenced decision-making processes. Ehd-e-Wafa also focused a great deal on the personal lives of these characters and their entire existence did not revolve around their careers. The military training was covered only in a few episodes and while Saad’s personality was shaped by this training, it was not the only reason for his maturity as years passed by.
Sinf-e-Aahan also covers the journey of young individuals who mature with time but unlike Ehd-e-Wafa, the credit for all this maturity is repeatedly accounted to the training given by the military. Unlike, Ehd-e-Wafa, Sinf-e-Aahan covers the military training only and although the writer has intelligently woven personal stories in different tracks, overall, the focus has been entirely on the impact of the military training on all these women. Their family lives and personal relationships do get screen time but even that screen time is used to further the idea that their character building would have been incomplete had they not joined the army. Because of this particular reason, the dialogues tend to be repetitive at times. There are also instances when you question the excessive focus on the impact of military training because sometimes it relegates everything else in these women’s lives to the background. Sinf-e-Aahan does not offer the variation which Ehd-e-Wafa did by showing that different characters chose to enter careers that were equally important. Ehd-e-Wafa’s story became more interesting towards the middle and right till the end, Sinf-e-Aahan was much more interesting in the beginning than it has been in the latter half. There are times when the viewers feel that the writer is trying too hard to get the message across. There is barely any subtlety while putting the message across. Sinf-e-Aahan has so far not given as many memorable and impactful moments to the viewers to remember as Ehd-e-Wafa did.
Final Thoughts
Like any other drama, both these dramas had their strengths and weaknesses but the most positive aspect of these dramas was that they provided meaningful entertainment. There is always room for improvement and we hope that the next ISPR production is even more appealing than these two. It is always refreshing watching well-written dramas with strong young characters whose sole purpose in life is not getting married! Which one of these dramas appealed to you more? Do you want to watch more dramas such as these? Share your views.

Yehali Tashiya Kalidasa is a 17-year-old Sri Lankan girl who got cast in one of the biggest TV projects to come out of Pakistan in recent times. She is playing Nathmy Perera in Sinf-e-Aahan along with other powerhouse performers. Yehali Tashiya recently appeared in an exclusive interview with “Fuchsia Magazine”.
Yehali Tashiya while praising co-star Ramsha Khan on her looks, mentioned that “Ramsha Khan looks like Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. I always say that to her and she was like, yes I know everyone says that.”
“Ramsha is so pretty. I like her skin and features. I always ask Ramsha that what do you do to your face, what’s your skin care routine, please tell me. Ramsha always replied me saying, drink water, and I don’t do that”, added Yehali Tashiya.
Nadeem Baig is Pakistani film and television director, producer and writer from Karachi. The multitalented Nadeem Baig recently appeared in an interview with “Fuchsia Magazine”.
Nadeem Baig while revealing about the tragedy in his life, mentioned that “We lost our children 2 times when we were expecting. The loss of loosing a child for parents is unbearable, even if the child is premature. I believe a woman faces that trauma more than a man. It’s a very complicated trauma for a woman who have gone through the whole process.”
“It was a very tough time for us in every aspect. We lost a baby girl first and then we lost another one, that’s when we decided not to plan another baby for a while. After that we moved to Karachi and we started working there. After some years, God compensated our loss and blessed us with two twin daughters, for which I’m thankful to him. I’m blessed to have these two girls in my life”, added Nadeem Baig.
Ohkay so, presented & produced by ISPR, Six Sigma Plus Production & Next Level Entertainment, written by Umera Ahmed & directed by Nadeem Baig; Sinf e Ahan premiered last night & is based on the story of 5 girls who dream of being a part of Pakistan Army. The first episode was definitely quite eventful & I liked that they decided to give coverage to all 5 leading characters equally, instead of making it about a few of them to cover the entire episode. The first episode set the tone of what is going to serve as the driving force for these 5 girls to make this life-changing decision for themselves. It is interesting to note that because the cast of Sinf e Ahan is so elaborate, it is going to offer something to everybody who is going to tune into this drama. One way or the other the audience is going to find such a character amongst these 5 girls with who they will easily resonate. It was interesting to see how they kept the story contemporary with references to the real-life dynamics of women belonging to this generation.
The opening scene of Sinf e Ahan beautifully elaborated the different walks of life the leading characters come from. The best aspect of this drama for me is the diversity they have decided to show because of which a wide range of audience is going to find it appealing & connect with it. The one thing that was established in the very first episode was that all these girls had one thing in common; such people who did not believe in them or their dreams. Those people who didn’t see them worthy of achieving something big. Although they did show two such parents who are going to be supportive of their daughter’s decisions even those girls had either a man or a woman in their lives dictating their future & letting them know that they are not worth it. All of this was shown in a non-preachy manner but somehow it all seemed very natural & realistic because this is the kind of reaction most women receive when they speak about their aspirations & dreams.
Cast & Characters
I am glad that because there are so many characters, most of the episodes are going to be quite eventful with perfect pacing. Rabia Safeer (Sajal Aly) comes from an Army background herself. A class topper & capable of doing so much on her own is being restrained because her parents think getting her married at this age is the best decision for her. She feels suffocated but because she respects her parents enough, she obliges. Mahjabeen Mastaan (Kubra Khan) comes from a privileged spectrum of the society where people from afar might see her life as completely perfect & normal but only she knows what she goes through by being a part of a dysfunctional family where her parents share a toxic relationship. Mahjabeen is too inspired by Gen. Nigar & despite being dictated by her mother, she at least has a clear goal in mind where she wants to enjoy the life of glory. Mahjabeen is a corporate lawyer & she decided to opt for it because her mother wanted to. Shaista Khanzada (Yumna Zaidi) comes from a Pathan background & her family is also in talks with a family to get her married. Shaista is shown to be a very intelligent & quick-witted girl & the best part about her is that she knows what she is capable of. She too has a grandmother & a general setting in her family where she will definitely not be supported initially, but she definitely is not a quitter.
Then we have Arzoo Daniel (Syra Yousuf) a girl belonging to the Christian faith, with a loving & supportive father. She too faces demons but is quite mature & calm to deal with it all herself. She is involved in a relationship where Noraiz (Asad Siddique) does not really see her worthy enough of being his partner, nor achieving something on her own. Arzoo is subdued but that does not mean she can not be what she wants to be. She has been approached by ISSB for English teaching but once again, she is silenced by Noraiz. Then we have Pariwesh Jamal (Ramsha Khan), a young & fierce Balochi girl who has a supportive father but the kind of mother who does not have exposure where she would support her daughter in her endeavors. The Sardar of their tribe wants Pariwesh to get married to one of his servants but it looks like her father is not going to accept the proposal.
The leading ladies were introduced in a thorough manner & their lifestyles, the dynamic of their families was also presented in such a way where you immediately understand the kind of background they come from. I am glad they did not take a lot of time in establishing the plot & the next episode will most probably cover their entrance test & the things they will have to go through in order to convince their families. I wish Sajal Aly had gotten a bit more coverage in this episode. Kubra Khan played the role of Mahjabeen Mastaan convincingly & her expressions were on-point especially where she had to show her emotions when her parents were involved in an argument. Syra Yousuf fitted the role as if it was made for her. My two favorite characters were Pariwesh & Shaista, they are definitely going to bring in a lot of quirk, humor & sass in the story.
A Convincing Start
Overall the drama definitely has had a convincing start & what makes it more interesting is how they have so many stories that will be told. I just wish the picture quality & camera work were crisp because most of the scenes seemed a bit too dull & dark. Some of the frames felt as if they had some kind of gradient effect which was taking away from the drama-watching experience. For a drama as big as this one, the crisp picture quality is definitely needed, especially when the girls will step into Army & their training sequences will be covered. I really hope in the upcoming episodes, this doesn’t turn out to be a persisting issue. I must commend the attention to detail given to bring forth the lifestyle & dynamic of these girls, each frame had a visual impact that added more depth to their story. It definitely had the old PTV drama vibe to it which definitely set it apart. The background music & the opening song were beautiful too. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. How did you find the very first episode of Sinf e Ahan? Please share your thoughts about it.
Sinf e Ahan is a joint venture of ISPR & Sig Sigma Plus Production, based on the story of 5 girls from different walks of life who have one common factor; the love for their country & the dream of being a part of the Pakistan Army. The story is written by Umera Ahmed and the drama is directed by Nadeem Baig. Sinf e Ahan is going to change the narrative for this generation of females, where it will give a scoop of what it is like to be a part of the Army and the amount of effort, hard work, dedication, and perseverance that goes into earning that place. Diversity is one of the strongest aspects of this drama where it shows that the Army welcomes people on the basis of merit and does not discriminate on the basis of religion, ethnicity, and social background. It won’t be wrong to say that Sinf e Ahan is one of the mega projects of this year & seems very promising with the ensemble cast that is a part of this drama.

One fan on Twitter said, “In absolute awe of Sheheryar’s performance in this week’s episode of #SinfeAahan — there could’ve been no better choice that him to play such a compassionate yet soft hearted character”
One fan said, “Aarzoo from SinfeAahan, played by Syra Yousuf is such an emotionally satisfying character; to observe the journey of a woman realizing her self-worth and shedding a toxic relationship as ally support her growth — this is sort of women oriented content Pakistan’s media needs!”
A few fans praised the role of PMA for protecting the cadets. They praised Major Usama’s strong character. The scene also ignited negative comments where public said that such scenes and portrayal of harassment is trivial, they said that it looks stupid that in these times, when the legal procedures are more professional, strict and apt, yet, she is being harassed and someone else is coming out to rescue her. One fan sarcastically wrote, “If you are suffering from Parental issues, BF issues, Ego issues, Marriage issues and want to fix them. Join PMA”
They also said that LC Arzoo could have approached to cyber crime instead of being blackmailed by the toxic ex for no reason. Public was also angry on unreasonable and out of the context scene, they expressed their opinions in detail. Here are comments, have a look.

In the recent past, we have seen a trend of Pakistani dramas airing their finales and opening episodes on silver screen. Pyarey Afzal, Mere Paas Tum Ho and Parizaad are a few dramas who got big openings in cinemas and people bought tickets to watch finale of their favourites on silver screen.
Ehd e Wafa also aspired to air their last episode in cinemas but that did not happen due to Covid striking the country while Sang e Mah saw its beginning on the silver screens.
Now, Sinf e Aahan is a contender for cinematic release of final episode. The drama is garnering huge numbers at TRP tables as well as Youtube views with each episode getting above 10 million views every week. Finale of Sinf e Aahan will release in cinemas.
Fans are not very happy with the idea as many think that drama should only air on television while others think Sinf e Aahan does not have the intrigue factor to be screened in cinemas:
Just a handful of hours ago, an Amazon Prime series named Modern Love Mumbai officially aired on TV. And guess what?
