Plot

edit

The series follows Ali (Rahat Kazmi), an architecture student who is expelled from his department for refusing to conform to conventional design principles. His close friend Raheel Obaid (Usman Peerzada) takes a more orthodox path, joining an established architecture firm and attaining conventional success. Ali later meets Mehreen (Sahira Kazmi), a newspaper reporter and critic, and comes into conflict with Babar Kamal (Shafi Muhammad Shah), a businessman. A parallel storyline follows Shazia (Badar Khalil), a well-known actress, who asks Raheel to befriend her daughter Salma (Saba Hameed), a resident of a girls' hostel.[3]

Drawing on the central themes of The Fountainhead, the series examines the tension between individualism and collectivism, chiefly through the professions of architecture and journalism.[citation needed] Ali is portrayed as a gifted but uncompromising figure who declines the Dean's offer to return to university a year after his expulsion. His unconventional designs place him at odds with established professionals and academics, and he struggles to secure work despite his evident ability. Raheel Obaid, by contrast, thrives within the prevailing system: he graduates at the top of his class, is recruited by a prominent firm, and is widely respected in his professional circles.

Mehreen, the daughter of a prominent businessman who owns the firm employing Raheel, works as a critic for a newspaper called Jazbat. Dissatisfied with her profession and the repetitive nature of reviewing similar projects, she is pursued by several suitors but is drawn only to Ali. Though she privately identifies with individualist ideals, she remains constrained by her employer.[citation needed]

A recurring motif in the series is self-awareness, with the principal characters shown to be unusually conscious of their own abilities, limitations, and the perceptions others hold of them.[citation needed]
