How to evaluate the Pakistani TV series Churails?

9.2 points, the biggest sorrow is that the play was banned.

Today we are going to talk about a Pakistani TV series "Witch".

Not many people watched it in China, but the score reached 9.2.

Unlike in China, this drama caused an uproar in South Asia and became a phenomenal work. The reason why it is so popular is not only because of its good reputation, but also because of its tortuous experience of being banned.

In Pakistan, the play was strongly opposed as soon as it was put on the shelves and was once banned. The reason given by the regulatory authorities is that the play involves "women drinking alcohol, wearing clothes that do not meet conservative requirements and using vulgar language".

But obviously, this is just rhetoric.

Anyone who has seen this drama will know that it involves deeper social problems in Pakistan:

Child marriage, infidelity, incest, sexual harassment, domestic violence, arranged marriage, class gap.

Fortunately, with the support of its supporters, the drama was put back on the shelves after being banned, so that we can see what this drama has influenced Pakistan and even South Asia.

The witch in the play is the name of a women's organization.

Their banner is "Give women the truth and make men suffer". The daily work is to help female clients follow up and investigate the truth about her husband's infidelity.

In other countries, this kind of detective organization may not be uncommon. But in Pakistan, the "witch" organization targeting men is shocking.

Behind this organization, there are four female leaders from different classes.

The first woman, Zubeda.

High school students from Muslim families.

Like all adolescent girls, she has her favorite boys and her own preferences. But at home, at school, this is not allowed. She wears a black robe every day and goes to school under the escort of her brother. Because her father thinks her innocence and safety are related to her reputation.

In exchange for a little personal freedom, she needs to bribe her brother, but he is too hungry to fill it, and he will complain to his father if he is slightly dissatisfied. Then, Zubaida was greeted by the confiscation of mobile phones, punching and kicking, and verbal insults.

Zubeda lived in the silence of his mother and father since childhood.

Finally, she escaped in this beating.

I have been away from home for many days, and my parents have not heard from me. Until one day, her parents called her to go home, and everyone advised her not to go back, but even though her parents were good, Zubaida still longed for their care.

She thinks her parents really miss her. I even gave my father a hug when I got home. Mother also greeted her with a smile, dressed her and put on beautiful clothes that she had never worn before.

Zubeda is immersed in the care of her parents, which is too extravagant and precious for her.

However, when she opened the door, she found another strange family sitting at home.

In this way, Zubaida was forced to participate in a blind date.

The boys looked at each other a few times and said, "I think so."

Zubaida's father said, "I think so too."

During the whole process, Zubaida didn't even have a chance to speak. She was angry and chilling, muttering "You are my father".

However, because it is the father, "I raised you and you belong to me."

The second woman, Sarah.

She is the wife of a government member and a lawyer before marriage.

After marriage, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter, focusing on being a good wife and mother. Because of her good looks and outstanding elegance, she is very helpful to her husband's career and is called "the perfect wife" by her husband.

However, when Sarah wanted to go out to work, her husband's first reaction was disdain.

Family law? Is that the law?

Who will hire you?

Just when Sarah was full of anxiety, she accidentally found the record of her husband chatting with strange women on her mobile phone, and there were hundreds of people hooking up.

Sad, Sarah thought of her three children, and she saw their fate in her marriage.

Not surprisingly, her two sons will grow up to be as unfaithful as her husband.

Her daughter will suffer the same humiliation as her when she finds out that her husband is cheating.

This is the growth route of children determined by the whole social environment.

From herself to her children to the whole society, Sarah knows that there are never a few situations like herself.

But why?

Why do men feel harmless when they do bad things, and women have to swallow it when they are clearly the injured party?

If she can do something.

Is it possible to slightly change the social environment of some daughters when they grow up?

As a result, the "witch" organization was established.

It's a private investigator's business to be branded as a fashion shop. Turning betrayal into business, recruiting and taking money to do things is in full swing.

Zubeda, the victim of domestic violence, child marriage and arranged marriage.

Sarah, trapped in the quagmire of the perfect wife, was betrayed by her husband.

The other two protagonists of the organization, Jin Knee and Batu, also have their own stories.

Jin Knee is a failed wedding planner.

Batu is a husband killer and has just been released from prison.

With the development of the story, we will find that these two people also have their own secrets.

A group of women rose up and occupied a place in the patriarchal society, which sounded particularly cool.

In particular, more and more women join in, more and more evidence of men's infidelity is found, and more and more money comes in, which makes them feel so enjoyable across the screen.

But the coolness of this drama is not mindless, and all the plot development is based on contradictions and conflicts.

Throughout the play, conflicts are almost everywhere.

Men's recklessness and women's humiliation exist in almost every aspect of life.

At home, the father is an authority, despising and squeezing his daughter. Even, he extended his hand to his little daughter.

After marriage, the husband is the authority. There is no blood on the sheets on the wedding night, which is a big taboo.

And even if he deceives himself, the evidence is conclusive, just harmless.

In society, sexual harassment and appearance discrimination are almost everywhere.

In an ice cream shop, a man harassed a woman at the next table. Because you wear tight jeans, "you don't look shy at all", so you deserve it.

Even Zubeda's younger brother will attack Zubeda's figure and appearance. When it comes to men, it is "the belly is a sign of men's happiness and satisfaction."

The unfair treatment between men and women is reflected in all aspects of society, but there are still a few people who stand out like the "witch" organization, and most women choose reconciliation.

Knowing the truth means losing a stable life in front of them, so they would rather turn a blind eye than whitewash the peace.

Some women know that their husbands are cheating and have to do everything possible to find an explanation. It must have been seduced by the fox.

When the "Witch" organization put evidence of her husband's infidelity in front of them, they said, "You will go to hell" because you ruined other people's marriages.

Then, the problem arises.

Is the "witch" organization trying to help the disadvantaged groups in a thankless way? Or just to make money, don't take jobs you can't afford?

The original intention of "witch" is to help women, but in the process of operation, it is bound to face a dilemma between morality and business.

The more realistic problem is that they gradually find that many things can be done without effort. In a patriarchal society, how can you make men suffer with passion?

Some people compare this play to the Pakistani version of Fatal Woman. A few smart women met a life crisis. They didn't cry or make trouble, but decided to be the masters of their own destiny. This is really a beautiful story.

But witches are more realistic than deadly women.

While "cool", its background color has always been very heavy.

At the beginning of the whole play, the end of the "witches" has been told to the audience-the "witches" organization has collapsed.

Some people died, some disappeared, and Sarah and Batu were arrested.

The whole story unfolded in the memories and self-reports of Sarah and Batu when they were interrogated.

With this question, we are getting closer to the answer step by step.

In order to save Zubaida from his father, they rushed in with toy pistols and threatened Zubaida's father angrily.

In order to protect women from domestic violence, they broke into their homes and threatened their husbands. If you hit her again, we'll hit you.

In order to save the poor from huge debts, they helped the poor to plant the crime of suicide on the debt collectors, and then pretended to make a settlement to save the debt collectors from legal punishment.

Everything, they have the most just purpose, but they have to take improper means.

There is a saying in the play that is particularly right: nowhere to ask for help is the root of evil.

Why are "witches" sought after?

Because there are too many women suffering in the whole society, but too few can help them.

One of the simplest examples.

Witches covered their faces and beat up the man who sexually harassed the ice cream shop. However, the news reports did not mention sexual harassment. Instead, it focused on two female criminal organizations, which caused social panic.

After Sarah was arrested, she said, "We want to enforce the image within the scope of the law, but the law is written by men."

That's true.

Because for the police, it doesn't matter what they do, but when so many women get together, something will definitely happen.

The whole story is heavy and cool, because all the coolness will eventually return to reality.

In reality, all freedom and power will be eclipsed. The tortuous broadcast experience of this drama in Pakistan is the best example.

When "Witch" was broadcast in Pakistan, it was the time when Pakistan's "anti-rape" movement was in full swing.

20 18 1, a 24-year-old serial killer sexually assaulted and killed a 6-year-old girl.

In September 2020, a woman called the police for help because she ran out of gasoline. Just before the police arrived, the woman was dragged out of the car by two men and raped in front of the child.

In June 2020, a man deceived, imprisoned and sexually assaulted a woman and her daughter, and then handed her over to another man.

Rape cases are frequent, and the voice of arresting and severely punishing rapists is getting higher and higher. However, the criminals in the road rape case have never been caught, and witches who call for women's rights have also been banned.

Since the problem can't be solved, how simple and rude the person who solves the problem is but everywhere.

Banning frank movies and online dramas will not end rape.

This is what the witch's supporters say.

In the voice of the people, the banned witch was put back on the shelves, and Pakistan's "anti-rape bill" was also put on the agenda by the cabinet.

With the strong voice of the people and the help of witches, transgender and gang rape cases were included in the definition of "rape" for the first time in Pakistan, and two severe measures, the death penalty and chemical castration, were also adopted in the law.

Therefore, The Witch is of epoch-making significance to Pakistan, both in the quality of the play and in the practical sense.

Not only in Pakistan, but also in South Asia, The Witch has become a phenomenal drama.

A According to the statistics of the National Criminal Records Bureau of India:

In 20 19, there were 32,033 cases of rape in India, with an average of 88 cases per day.

Obviously, Pakistan is not the only country that needs witches. Pakistan is not the only country that needs anti-rape laws.

At any time, in any country, it is better to find problems and solve them than to close your eyes and cover your ears.
